Almighty Athlete Chapter 242: Pole position starting

The track looked a bit empty, and not all the remaining 10 cars appeared on the track. Some drivers are waiting for a better time, while others want to see what strategy others use.

What people did not expect is that the two Chinese forces that came out late in the first and second quarters of qualifying took the lead out of the maintenance area.

"Neutral tires? Both China Power vehicles use neutral tires." The camera gave the two tires a shot.

This year’s Formula One race has done a lot of work on the tires in order to reflect green and environmental protection. The softer set of tires in each race will be painted with a green line and harder. That set of tires does not. For example, the Australian station uses super soft tires and neutral tires. The super soft tires will have green lines, but the neutral tires will not, so you can tell what kind of tires the driver is using at a glance.

The two China Power cars are one after the other, with a chronograph ring behind the tire warmer ring, and then they enter the maintenance area again. The entire process took almost five minutes. The two also successfully became the top two.

"The China Power car is really fast, Ferrari is nearly two seconds slower than it."

"It seems that only Red Bull Racing’s Vettel can barely keep up with Chinese power, but even so, Red Bull is worse than Chinese power!"

People talk quietly. At this time, the cars returned to the maintenance area, began to change tires and fuel, and then prepared to run out for the last time lap.

In the 10th minute of the third quarter, except for the tire warmer laps, up to five to six complete laps are also run. A car that can run three complete laps is not bad. When the car walked out of the maintenance area for the second time, the time was basically enough for the driver to run a chronograph lap.

Ferrari.

Technical Director Dell’s face was extremely gloomy, Ferrari’s performance today is not satisfactory, not only two Chinese-powered cars ran ahead, Red Bull’s Vettel, BMW Sauber’s Kubica and Rosberg of the Williams team actually surpassed Ferrari.

"You have to fight a shot! Carry light oil and change to a brand new set of super soft tires!" Dell opened the command line

However, it was not just Dell that made this choice. Other teams also put on a new set of super-soft tires, and everyone was ready to fight for the final lap.

According to the rules, as long as you can start your own lap before the end of the countdown, the lap is valid. So many cars like to walk out of the maintenance channel in the last three minutes, run a warm tire rim first, and then run a chronograph lap. If the chronograph lap is not satisfactory or encounters a slow block, only need to rush before the countdown ends After the end point, you can get a new lap.

So when there were more than three minutes left in the race, the cars went out of the maintenance area. The roar of the engine made the whole track like a noisy market in the morning.

"Do you think China Power will still take the top two? Will Zhang Guan still be the first?"

"The possibility is very great. After all, in the first two quarters of the practice match, Chinese power is the first."

"I think it depends on the team's strategy. Now they use super-soft tires, depending on whether the team chooses light oil."

"Cars in the third qualifying session should not add too much fuel, rather than light oil, it is better to see if the car uses a heavy oil one-stop strategy."

"Ferrari is going to cross the line! It is Massa, 1 minute 27 seconds 033, this result is not as good as the last result of China Power. Although he can still run another lap, I think he cannot exceed China Power. ."

"Toyota's Trulli, 1 minute, 27 seconds, 127, which is relatively average. And the countdown in the third quarter has ended"

"China Power, Barrichello, 1 minute, 26 seconds, 505! Number one! China Power is number one again!"

"Vettel of Red Bull Racing, he may be the only driver who can threaten the power of China... Hey, 1 minute 26 seconds 830, 0.3 seconds slower than Barrichello. It seems that the pole position has been attributed to China Power Now."

"Wait, there is Zhang Guan! See if he can get faster than Barrichello?"

On the track, Zhang Guan has already turned the last corner and then started to sprint with all his strength.

"1 minute 25 seconds 998, Zhang Guan even ran within 1 minute 26 seconds! 0.5 seconds faster than his teammate Barrichello! Two cars of the same team, the gap is so big, the key Barriche Luo's speed is not slow! Is Zhang Guan only added a little oil?"

In the third quarter of qualifying, the car must be fueled for tomorrow’s race, so the car will be heavier and the speed will be slower than the previous two quarters. The two cars of the same team have a gap of more than 0.5 seconds, only It is explained by the amount of oil.

However, at this time, in the China Power Team, Ross Brown looked at the 0.5 second gap, but was surprised. Because Ross Brown knew that Zhang Guan and Barrichello had the same fuel strategy, that is to say, the fuel amount of the two people's cars was basically the same.

The same fuel load, the same tires, but ran out of the 0.5 second gap, this can be seen as a two-level driving technology.

At this time, Ross Brown’s headphones sounded Barrichello’s voice: “How is our boss running?”

Ross Brown knows that Barrichello is actually asking if he has achieved pole position, because Barrichello also knows that the whole track can surpass himself ~IndoMTL.com~ is only Zhang Guan.

Every driver wants to qualify for pole position, as does Barrichello, except that his partner is the team’s boss, so he can’t show too much.

Ross Brown hesitated for a while, and finally said: "Zhang Guan ran within 1 minute and 26 seconds."

"What? Isn't that faster than me by 0.5 seconds?" Barrichello said in surprise, and then he asked: "Then our strategy for tomorrow's game?"

"The strategy remains the same," Ross Brown knows that Barrichello misunderstood the light oil added to the Zhang Guan car, so he explained: "Rubens, the amount of oil you and Zhang Guan are Consistent, so our strategy will not change in tomorrow's game!"

"The same amount of oil?" Barrichello's mouth grew slightly.

"The same car, the same amount of fuel, the same tires, I was so much slower than the Zhang Guan! But clearly I am already faster than other drivers!" Barrichello took a deep breath: " This is not because I am slow, but because he is too fast!"
