Almighty Athlete Chapter 247: Variables

"Our advantage over second place Vettel has exceeded 15 seconds and you have a perfect pit stop window." Ross Brown's voice rang in the headphones.

The length of the maintenance area of ​​each track is different, and the amount of fuel for each refueling is also different, so the time for entering the station will also be different. Starting from entering the maintenance area, stopping to change the station to refuel, and then going out The maintenance area takes at least more than 20 seconds. The maintenance area and the straight road are basically parallel. After one maintenance area is equal to the straight road that has passed the end point, that is, the distance in the maintenance area can also be used as a track. The distance, just stop the parking and speed limit maintenance area will lose some time.

The advantage of 15 seconds in the game, as long as the refueling time is controlled at about 10 seconds, it can basically ensure that after the refueling comes out of the maintenance area, it will still be ranked in front of the opponent. This is the so-called "perfect pit stop window period".

Simply put, if Zhang Guan is now pitted to refuel and change tires, it will be ranked in front of the second-place Vettel after coming out, but when he finishes refueling, the 15-second advantage will almost be lost.

"Then do I need to go back and cheer?" Zhang Guan asked.

"Of course not!" Ross Brown continued: "As long as your current tires and fuel capacity can hold up, keep running. Take advantage of the lighter fuel and the lighter cars, and refresh a few of the fastest laps. Speed ​​up and strive to expand your advantage! It’s best if we let Vettel go to the advanced station. Oh, wait a minute, Vettel comes into the station to cheer! In this case, our advantage is already very large."

On the seventeenth lap, Vettel chose to pit and refuel. It took him 11.6 seconds to refuel, probably less than 20 laps of fuel.

On the eighteenth lap, the driver of the Williams team made a plan when Shigeichi Shimazu made a turn. The front bumped directly into the protective wall, and the debris scattered all over the ground.

When the yellow flag appears, it is not allowed to overtake. The yellow flag in the stage is not allowed to overtake in this stage, and the yellow flag in the audience is not allowed to overtake. The safety car will often come out and lead at that time. Everyone runs laps. The yellow flags on the stage generally indicate that a certain stage has a sudden situation, such as a crash, water accumulation, foreign objects, etc.

If you show a red flag, it will often be more serious. At this time, all the cars must return to the maintenance area when they pass the entrance of the maintenance station next time.

The blue flag is for the driver of the quiz (tào) circle, telling them to let the express pass first. Black Flag is directly sent out of the game.

In order to facilitate the driver to know these conditions, there are often lights on the driver's steering wheel to remind. For example, when the yellow flag of the stage is entered, the light will be on to remind the driver when entering the stage that cannot overtake.

As soon as Nakajima heard the name of the crash, he knew that he was a (日rì) driver. He joined the Williams team with a sponsor contract. Everyone else came to the car to earn a salary. He paid for the competition. In terms of driving style, Nakajima is very fierce and tough. So he crashed in an accident, more because of his driving style.

Actually (日rì), the drivers have similar driving styles in Formula One. They all dare to fight, such as overtaking, sometimes they win more than go, and if they lose, they crash. Therefore, the previous two (日rì) local drivers Sato Takuma and Yamamoto are both road killer drivers. Their completion rate is less than two-thirds, such as being seen by the (set tào) circle that the blue flag is not willing to let the car , This is (日rì) what the driver does (情qíng).

Although the Zhang Guan has not reached the yellow flag stage at this time, Ross Brown has already reminded: "Tell you a bad news, there was an accident in front of you, and the expensive island of Williams team crashed."

"Is it serious? Will there be a safety car?" Zhang Guan asked.

"It may be really possible to get out of the safety car in the debris area. The next time you pass the entrance of the depot, come in and refuel!" Ross Brown's voice became more rapid.

At this time, Zhang Guan is not the only one who chooses to refuel, and other cars that have not yet entered the station have also chosen to refuel at this time. The yellow flag on the stage will affect the speed of the car, and of course it will also affect the performance of the drivers. Instead, it is better to go to the service station to refuel and let the staff clean up the car debris on the track. So even some of the local trains in the rear chose to stop at this time.

When Zhang Guan ran out of the pit, he was still ranked first. The advantage he had accumulated before was large enough. Vettel in second place was still 15 seconds away from him.

On the 20th lap, the safety car will be dispatched, which is extremely bad news for Zhang Guan. But for the cars that want to catch up later, it is good news.

The rules require that after the safety car is dispatched, it will be stuck in front of the first place. All cars are not allowed to overtake, and they must follow the safety car according to their ranking. However, the speed of the safety car is much slower, so the following cars will quickly follow the front car. Basically, the appearance of the safety car means that all the advantages that the leader has achieved in the past are instantly vanished.

After the safety car gave way to the slow car, he found the first Zhang Guan, and then started to lead in front of Zhang Guan. The speed of Zhang Guan slowed down instantly. He could only turn on the fuel-saving mode and followed the safety car, followed by the car quickly. Caught up.

The second place is still Red Bull’s Vettel, the third place is Ferrari’s Massa, the fourth place is BMW’s Kubica, and the fifth place is Ferrari’s Raikkonen. The following cars also followed. Eighteen cars formed a long snake formation, and even those cars that had been circled by (~tào)~IndoMTL.com~ were again ranked at the end of the brigade.

Zhang Guan's heart (love qíng) is a bit bad. He used to hold a huge advantage, but now it has completely disappeared because of the appearance of safety cars. He went back to the way he was at the start, which was equivalent to wasting his first 20 laps in vain.

"When the safety car leaves for a while, pay attention to Ferrari, they have a kinetic energy recovery system." Ross Brown's voice sounded again from the headphones.

In the static start just now, Ferrari was originally in the 7th and 9th. With the 80 horsepower of the kinetic energy recovery system, it rushed to the 4th and 5th. Now that it is a dynamic start, the advantages of the kinetic energy recovery system will be It’s bigger, and now Ferraris are in 3rd and 5th, respectively, and it is definitely possible to threaten the first place Zhang Guan.

......

"This safety car gives us an opportunity. We have been behind Zhang Guan for more than fifteen seconds, and now with this safety car, we have bridged the gap." Red Bull Racing’s strategic engineer said to the microphone .

"Yes, we are back to the same starting line again." Vettel's voice looked very excited: "I like this variable." (~^~)
