Almighty Athlete Chapter 238: First!

The two most important parts of a tire and an engine race car, because these two parts are not only related to the speed of the car, but also continue to wear out. pen? interest? Pavilion W. iquge. The sensors on the fo car are used to detect the performance of these two components.

This year’s Formula One tires are supplied by Princeton. Princeton provides a total of six tires for the team, which are four dry tires and two rain tires.

The four dry tires include super soft tires, soft tires, neutral tires and hard tires, and each station will only provide two of them for the team to choose from. For example, the Australian station uses super soft tires and neutral tires, but no soft tires and hard tires.

When the tire reaches the optimal working state, the softer the tire, the better the grip, and the better the grip, the faster the speed. But the weaker tire also has a disadvantage, that is, it will wear out quickly. When the tire wears to a certain degree, the grip will gradually disappear, and it will lose control when turning, and the driver is forced to reduce the speed.

As for the two rain tires, they are used when it rains. They are medium rain tires and heavy rain tires. The heavy rain tires have more lines, the stronger the drainage capacity, the less slippery, but the slower the speed.

Soft tires run faster than hard tires. In terms of data, the softest super soft tires and the hardest hard tires can have a lap speed of about 1 second. The gap between super soft tires and neutral tires must be more than half a second. The half-second gap is very important in qualifying for the fastest car.

For a big team like Ferrari, their racing performance is good enough, and the driver’s skills are also good enough, so even if they use neutral tires to run the first quarter of qualifying, they can easily advance, so in the first In a qualifying session, large teams often use harder tires to avoid excessive wear on soft tires. They have to leave the soft tires in the second and third quarters behind.

For small teams, the performance of their cars is average, and the drivers are average. If they want to be eliminated, they must use faster soft tires to fight. For a car that may be eliminated at any time, tire wear is nothing.

The Force India team is racing with super soft tires. They were the last one last year. Under normal circumstances, they must be eliminated in the first round, so they directly chose super soft tires to increase speed. Even so, their results are still far worse than the Ferrari using a neutral tire. Force India's current lap speed exceeds 1 minute 27 seconds, while Ferrari's Raikkonen easily ran a score of 1 minute 26 seconds 615 in the first lap.

The Williams team won the first consecutive three times in the practice session, which increased their confidence, so they used neutral tires to race, but in reality they slapped their faces mercilessly. After a few laps, Ferrari and other big teams relaxed. The score was within 1 minute and 26 seconds, and the Williams team was on the verge of elimination.

This is the sadness of the small team, the use of soft tires can not run hard. In practice, those big teams didn't use their full strength at all.

Williams returned to the maintenance area in a hurry and replaced the super soft tires to get out of the lap.

In this case, everyone feels that the China Power Team should use super soft tires. After all, it is a new team, and it’s already a good thing to be able to be eliminated without being eliminated in the first quarter, so you should use a faster super soft tire to fight.

However, to everyone’s surprise, Zhang Guan ran out of the maintenance area with a neutral tire.

"Neutral tires? The new team is ready to give up qualifying! Maybe they know that they will be ranked at the bottom, so they just broke the jars and abandoned themselves!" a fan at the scene said.

"Impossible, if it’s a broken jar, it’s better to stay in the maintenance area, so that even the neutral tires are saved. I guess they think they want to run with the neutral tires for two laps, wait After a while, it will definitely be replaced with a soft tire." said a person next to him.

After a brief surprise, everyone focused their attention on the big teams like Ferrari and McLaren. They were the focus of the game.

McLaren’s two cars returned to the garage after only a few laps. They seemed to be confident in their performance. At the same time, Renault’s Alonso returned to the garage. On the track, Ferrari's Raikkonen has improved his score to less than 1 minute and 26 seconds.

"Räikkönen scored 1 minute 25 seconds 899, which is currently the fastest lap speed, and he uses a neutral tire, it really will not be Ferrari! Although in the practice game performance It's average, but in the race, it's really unambiguous. They showed their true strength." The commentator exclaimed.

The audience at the scene also applauded. After all, it was Ferrari, who had the most fans in the Formula One race. They were the first to win.

Omi looked at the ranking of the results and was anxious.

At present, two of Force India’s two cars are ranked 16th and 17th respectively. If the race is completed according to this ranking, one Force India car will be eliminated.

"We have to be faster, we are only 0.15 seconds away from the fifteenth place, maybe we can rush into the top sixteen! If we can't, just change another set of super-soft tires and fight up!"

Omi is thinking, but the driver ranking has been refreshed again, and the two Force India cars have become 17th and 18th.

"Another one stepped back. Who surpassed it?" Omi took the lead to look at the 16th place, which was Piquet of Renault.

"Piquet was just fifteen, he was squeezed down!" Omi then looked up, Nakajima, Weber, Trulli, Glock, Alonso, Vettel, Ross Borg... all of them are familiar with his name, their relative position has not changed, only a collective back.

"Someone ran to the front..." Omi then looked up, his eyes finally stayed at the top, ranking first.

"What!" Omi opened his mouth in surprise.

......

The television broadcast is aimed at the Ferrari team's Massa.

Massa was the runner-up last year. He lost to Hamilton by only one point. In fact, he could have won the championship, but because of the team's low-level mistakes, he lost the final championship. So it can be said that Massa is also a driver with championship strength.

The strength of the champion plus being in the Ferrari team is definitely the focus of the audience, and his teammate Raikkonen has just made the fastest lap, so the broadcast footage at this time has been fixed on Massa.

Massa is running his own lap. About 500 meters behind him, there is also a red car. That is Zhang Guan, Zhang Guan is also running his own lap. It's just that there is a Ferrari Massa in front, so no one will care about the Zhang Guan in the back.

How can a new team compare to the attention of Ferrari?

In the car, Massa’s attention was focused on the track. He successfully passed the 16th turn and then sprinted with all his strength.

"Massa's chronograph circle... 1 minute 25 seconds 844! First! Massa surpassed his teammate Raikkonen, ranked first, Ferrari took the first and second places! In yesterday's practice, Ferrari performed mediocre, but in the game, they really were the strongest." The commentator said.

Massa has already passed the end of the timing, but the broadcast lens is still aimed at him. As for the Zhang Guan behind, there is not even half of the picture, but a Zhang Guan timing appears in the lower right corner of the TV.

The Massa in the car is still very focused, and at this time the team's voice is heard from the headphones.

"Philip, you can slow down and protect your tires. Come back next time you enter the maintenance area! Good job, you just passed Raikkonen." Team technical director Dell sounded in the headset 'S business ~ IndoMTL.com ~ Oh, then I'm number one now, right? Asked Massa.

"Of course, of course you are the first... well? What!" Dell exclaimed suddenly.

"What's wrong?" Massa asked in surprise.

"Uh, Philip, you are the second!" Dell said.

"Second? Has anyone surpassed? Who is it? Hasn't Hamilton and Alonso both returned to the maintenance area? Who can still run first? Is it Vettel?" Massa asked angrily. . When the first few seconds went down, anyone would feel annoyed.

"Someone exceeds you! The first is Zhang Guan!" Dell said.
