Almighty Athlete Chapter 243: 2 pit stops
A new team achieved first place in the qualifying, which surprised everyone. In the impression of people, the new team should be the bottom of the score. It is a major breakthrough for qualifying to enter the second round. As for pole position, it is the bag of the big team.
And today, a small team, a new team, and a team that almost went bankrupt last year, took the first two places in the starting line, and broke the monopoly of the big team at once. The result is No one expected it before the game.
Whether it was on the scene or in front of the TV, everyone made a marvel.
"The power of China has taken the top two, which is incredible! What happened to this year's Formula One? What happened to Ferrari this year? What happened to McLaren this year? Aron Sauer, Raikkonen, Hamilton... What happened to these world champions?" Someone asked this question.
"Don't forget that this is Ross Brown's team after all! Is there anything weird about the first two cars built by Ross Brown?" Someone replied.
Many people suddenly realized that they thought of Ferrari at the peak and thought of the era of Schumacher. The technical director of that era was Ross Brown, and the red Ferrari that Ross Brown took out The top two in qualifying are normal.
And today, Ross Brown took out a red car again, but this time the red is not Ferrari, but the power of China, but the final result is the same, they once again took the top qualifying Two.
This explanation has relieved many fans a lot. The name of the "China Power" team cannot be recognized by fans, but the name of Ross Brown can.
But this is also suitable, someone said: "How should Zhang Guan explain?"
"Yeah! Pole position in racing, not only the fastest car is enough, but also a first-class driver!"
"You mean that Zhang Guan is a first-class driver?"
"I don't know if Zhang Guan is a first-class driver, but from the results, he is faster than Barrichello! And Barrichello is a first-class driver! At least it used to be."
"You have seen the race just now, Zhang Guan's technology is definitely a first-class driver. And don't forget, Zhang Guan is a talented athlete, maybe he can really win the championship tomorrow!"
......
Zhang Guan, Barrichello and Red Bull Racing’s Vettel won the top three in the qualifying respectively. At this time, the three people are standing together to receive the fans’ blessing and the reporter’s photo.
A dazzling flash of light is entangled in the setting sun, and all three are smiling. But among the crowd, there are some people who are not interested, such as those Australian journalists.
"Hum, isn't it just a pole position! This is just qualifying, it's not the race. The first runner can't get a point at the end, and it often happens in Formula One! "The reporter who "has the right to express his views" hummed.
"That's right!" Another of his colleagues expressed support for him: "Qualifying only needs to run a lap, but the race is more than 50 laps! One lap A good run does not mean that you can run well in more than 50 laps! Don’t look at Zhang Guan starting for pole position tomorrow, but maybe he won’t even get one point tomorrow.”
......
The climate in Melbourne from March to May is very pleasant. The southern hemisphere happens to be autumn. The sun is shining and neither hot nor cold. The breeze at the seaside at night will not make people feel cold.
However, Zhang Guan is not in a mood to enjoy the night view of Melbourne. At this time, he is discussing the strategy of tomorrow's game with the strategy team of China Power.
"Both of our cars are medium fueled, which allows us to arrange strategies more calmly, so we can choose the strategy of two pit stops tomorrow, or the strategy of three pit stops? One pit stop No need to think about it, our oil won't last that long." Technical Director Zander said.
"From the test situation, this year's super-soft tires wear out too fast, probably only supporting 12 or 3 laps, and we must use two types of tires in the rules, so if you pit twice If it is, it is better to choose two neutral tires plus one super soft tire. And if it is three pit stops, we can use two neutral tires and two super soft tires." Ross Brown said, turning his head to ask Tao: "How are our tires now?"
"We also have a brand new set of neutral tires and a brand new set of super soft tires. In addition, there is a set of neutral tires with very light wear and a set of super soft tires with very light wear. Used in the race. In addition, there is a set of old super soft tires that can be replaced. The remaining two sets of neutral tires and one set of super soft tires are worn out in practice and are no longer usable." Zhan Del said.
"The tires are enough." Ross Brown looked at Zhang Guan and Barrichello: "What kind of tactics do you think we choose? Two pit stops or three pit stops?"
"Let’s stop twice! It’s too risky to stop three times. If tomorrow’s game triggers a safety car, we may be able to find a more suitable time to stop. After all, this year’s rules have been changed, and the safety car is out. If you can, you can enter the station." Zhang Guan said.
"I think two pit stops are also safer. I think most drivers will choose to pit twice." Barrichello also said from the side.
"This is a race this year. All teams want to get a good start. Even if they don't get points, at least they want to finish. I don't want to see the safety car in tomorrow's race. "Ross Brown opened his hands~IndoMTL.com~ Then he said: "There is another point, I want to remind you that although Ferrari is behind you, you must pay attention to them. Their car is equipped with a kinetic energy recovery system, also That means they will start faster."
"Anyone besides Ferrari has a kinetic energy recovery system?" Zhang Guan asked.
“Currently we have obtained official data from Ferrari, McLaren, Renault and BMW Sauber’s Hayfield, and their cars will be equipped with a kinetic energy recovery system. Among these people, two of Ferrari’s cars are in the first place. 7th and 9th, BMW Sauber's Highfield starts at 11th, Renault starts at 12th and 17th, McLaren's two cars start at 14th and 15th. The only threats are Ferrari's two cars, especially Massa in seventh place." Ross Brown introduced.
"It's all manufacturer teams! It seems that the development progress of our independent teams is almost the same. The research and development of the kinetic energy recovery system has not reached the level of the manufacturer team." Zhang Guan said.
"The kinetic energy recovery system was just used this season. The technology is not yet mature. If you use it rashly, it may affect the integrity of our car. However, our experiments are also in progress. I strive to let you in the second half of the year. , Use this kinetic energy recovery system!" Ross Brown said. (To be continued.)
