Almighty Athlete Chapter 240: No. 1 again
The rules for qualifying in the second quarter are the same as in the first quarter, compared to the fastest lap. There are a total of 16 cars participating in the second quarter qualifying, 10 of which will enter the third quarter qualifying, 6 cars will be eliminated, and these 6 eliminated cars will be ranked in the 11th to Departure from the 16th place.
Unlike the first quarter qualifying, the second quarter qualifying is only 15 minutes, which is five minutes less than the first quarter.
If it is said that some teams were eliminated in the first quarter qualifying, then the midstream team was eliminated in the second quarter qualifying.
For the midstream teams, if they want to enter the third quarter, they must fight, use less fuel to reduce the weight of the car, and use softer tires to increase the speed. Once they do this, they can threaten those upstream teams.
In order not to be squeezed out by these midstream teams, even top teams like Ferrari will choose the same tactics, add less fuel to reduce the weight of the car, and use softer tires to ensure that they can be smooth In the third quarter, after all, under the same configuration, the racing performance of the first-class team still has an advantage.
Light oil plus soft tires, the second quarter qualifying will also have the best results in the entire qualifying. On the contrary, it is the third quarter qualifying, because to add racing fuel, the driver's performance will be worse.
After the pit lane was opened, the second quarter qualifying officially started, Ferrari's Raikkonen debuted, and it was really a super soft tire. In the first lap, he ran a score of 1 minute, 25 seconds, 380, and improved his score by 0.5 seconds.
This is the effect of super soft tires. Compared to neutral tires, Raikkonen is indeed 0.5 seconds faster.
Several drivers who debuted immediately ran into less than 1 minute and 25 seconds. For example, the Toyota team Trulli, which also made changes to the diffuser, ran a good result of 1 minute, 25 seconds and 265.
Webber of the Red Bull team even ran a good score of 1 minute 25 seconds 241. There was a round of applause at the scene, because Weber was a driver of the Australian native, and some fans even started chanting "Weber First".
It's just that the sound just came out, and Kubica of the BMW Sauber team ran out for 1 minute 25 seconds 152. Immediately after Red Bull Racing Vettel's 1 minute 25 seconds 121 again refreshed the fastest lap time by 0.001 seconds.
Red Bull Racing seems to be used to this set of super soft tires, which is much faster than the use of neutral tires.
For Zhang Guan and Barrichello, their first two chronograph laps were blocked by slow trains. Although the results were ranked in the top ten, they were not very safe, so they were still racing on the track.
"Whoosh!" Barrichello rushed past the timer at the finish line, which was the first lap he made without blocking in front.
"1 minute 24 seconds 783! Barrichello ran into less than 1 minute 25 seconds, this is the first result of today less than 1 minute 25 seconds! China Power Team won the first place again!" The voice was full of surprise.
At this time, the camera involuntarily switched to Zhang Guan, because at this time the director has realized that the only one who can surpass Barrichello is his teammate Zhang Guan!
For the first time, the China Power car got such attention, and Zhang Guan also got such a long shot for the first time. At this time, it is recognized that you can finally clearly appreciate the driving of Zhang Guan, and appreciate every time Zhang Guan accelerates, every time you brake, Every turn.
"The choice of this braking point is almost perfect. When the car is cornering, it is just stuck to the edge, so the speed of loss is the least!"
"This corner is good, and the shoulder is just right!"
"Turning to neutral side slip! He turned the corner in this way! He made full use of the steering neutral side slip, so that the front of the car can be aimed at the direction of the turn when the car exits the corner!"
"Traveling clouds and flowing water, this route is simply traveling clouds and flowing water! This car, like a dancer, is dancing on the track!"
"No wonder, no wonder he can surpass Ferrari so much in the first quarter! It turns out that Zhang Guan has such great driving skills."
The sound of people marveling, especially some experts, can see at a glance Zhang Guan's excellent driving skills and ability to predict the route.
However, in the eyes of professional drivers, this kind of driving by Zhang Guan is another situation.
Ferrari's command center, Schumacher's face was shocked, his eyes widened, looking at the Zhang Guan on the track.
"Zhang Guan's car tuning should be biased towards understeer, which is very suitable for Princeton's tires. You see, he uses the gradually decreasing steering of the tires to lock and maintain extremely fast cornering speed. It should be decreasing. Schumi, this is the driving technology you invented!" Ferrari technical director Dell said.
Schumacher nodded: "Not only that, you listen to his throttle, it is progressive refueling, he is controlling the throttle!"
Dell heard this, and screamed involuntarily: "You said that Zhang Guan knows how to control the throttle, which means he will not completely loose the throttle? Oh my god, this is impossible! Since Senna After death, only you in the world will know how to do it! Have you heard it wrong?"
Schumacher shook his head: "No, it's not wrong, just because I can only use this trick in the world, I know that it is controlling the throttle! If it is not controlling the throttle, he can't be so good. Control the neutral side slip! You see that his entry speed, center speed and exit speed have almost reached the limit, which is definitely the method of controlling the throttle!"
The so-called "neutral sideslip" actually has a name that everyone is familiar with-drift! Professional riders call it neutral skid. We watch some movies and TV shows that we know that if we want to make a quick turn, we will choose the drift method, and Formula One, as the fastest car in the world, will naturally use this technology, but the drift of Formula One is not so much. Obviously, and the driver's control of the tire lock is much better. Ordinary people may not see the car drifting at all. Imagine that if there is no drift, it is impossible to change the tires for two or three times for a 300-km race.
The drivers in Formula One will choose to brake the throttle completely during driving. When accelerating, one foot will step on the throttle, and when the throttle is released at the end of the straight road, it will be completely relaxed. Only one person is not like this, that is Schumacher. Schumacher almost never loosened the throttle completely~IndoMTL.com~ Even at the braking point at the end of the straight, this technology is currently only mastered by Schumacher.
Schumacher once had a classic race. He encountered a gearbox fault card in the race. The gear was in fifth gear. The car could not be shifted or downshifted. If other drivers must retire, but Shu Mach only ran dozens of laps in a fifth gear, and also won the runner-up of that game, he is relying on this technology to control the throttle. Imagine that when someone else encountered a loose throttle on the bend and stepped on the brake to slow down to build a file, while Schumacher only had one fifth gear, others were in second gear and third gear, and Schumacher was in fifth gear. The difficulty can be imagined.
That’s why Schumacher was surprised, because he knew how difficult it was to master this driving technique. Just the right braking point, extreme corners, and excellent line selection, these other excellent drivers can do it, but this ability to control the throttle, but his unique skills, especially after Senna’s death, Schumacher is convinced No one can do this. Today, his unique skills appeared on Zhang Guan.
At this time, Zhang Guan on the field also rushed past the finish counter.
"1 minute, 24 seconds and 688! China Force thoroughly ran a score of less than 1 minute and 25 seconds, and Zhang Guan was the first again! Zhang Guan won the first place in the second quarter of the practice game!" .)
