Almighty Athlete Chapter 270: Fill me up (14/20)

Genius remembers for a second, and provides you with wonderful novel reading.

The qualifying continues, without Zhang Guan, the pole position competition seems to have suspense again, and the drivers on the track are also showing more hard work, they all hope to get pole position.

The Force China team did not give up hope. Although Zhang Guan retired, they still have a Barrichello. Barrichello was also a veteran at that time. It is a cruel sport to be able to compete in Formula One. The continuous struggle for 16 years in China is enough to show that he has the strength of a first-class driver himself, and his experience is more suitable for other drivers. He has also achieved double-digit qualifying pole positions in his career, and he has also won seven championships, so if Barrichello wins pole position, no one will be surprised.

At this time, Barrichello also understands the team’s current situation, so he has increased his horsepower, hoping to regain the pole position for the team.

The veteran Ferrari has returned to the garage early. Although their car has canceled the kinetic energy recovery system, they still have no hope of competing for pole position. For Ferrari, it has no meaning to continue to appear in the third quarter qualifying Instead, go back to the garage to debug the car earlier.

Barrichello was still unable to create a miracle in the end, he lost to Webb of Red Bull Racing with a gap of 003 seconds. Red Bull's car is indeed very suitable for running this comprehensive circuit, and Webber is temporarily in the first place.

The countdown to the third quarter has ended, and there are still cars running on the track for the final sprint, which can now be said to be the moment of "a lap of victory". 【】

"Am I the number one now?" Weber asked the team by radio.

“Yes. You’re number one for the time being, but there are a few cars behind you completing the final lap.”

"Including Vettel?" Weber asked next.

"Yes." The team replied.

Weber didn't speak anymore. He felt that if someone on the track could be faster than himself, then only his teammate Vettel would be there. Both of them are driving the same car, and in terms of driving technology, the future four-time champion Vettel is obviously better than Weber.

The next moment, the team’s headphone sounded from Weber’s headset: “Tell you a bad news, someone is faster than you, you are overtaken, you are now in second place.”

"Is it Vettel?" Weber asked immediately.

"No, it's Alonso!" the team replied.

"Alonso? Renault is suddenly so fast." Weber's voice revealed a surprise.

......

A few years ago, the Renault team was also a giant in Formula One. They once fought against Schumacher-era Ferrari. Alonso drove the blue Renault car that year and snipered the car king Schumacher for two consecutive years, making Schumacher’s eighth crown dream broken twice in succession, and Alonso won two consecutive championships and became The only driver who can beat Schumacher head-on.

In recent years, Renault’s cars have become increasingly weak, and they have withdrawn from the ranks of top teams. But Alonso is the one who can beat Schumacher after all, even if he is driving a broken car, he can get good results repeatedly.

In the race at China, Alonso’s car cancelled the kinetic energy recovery system and installed a double-layer diffuser with a transition plate. This double-layer diffuser was still released overnight after the International Racing Association announced compliance It came by air from Europe. In the previous practice, Alonso's car did not perform well, which made many people think that Renault's double-layer diffuser was a failed product.

But now it seems that the result is exactly the opposite. Alonso surpassed Weber with a score of 1 minute 36 seconds 381 and took the first throne. Although Renault's car does not have the best speed, Alonso's technology has made up for many speed defects.

However, behind Alonso, there is a person who also has the world's top technology, that is the future four-time champion Vettel. And Vettel also has a faster car.

A few seconds after Alonso ran the fastest lap, Vettel also crossed the finish line, with a score of 1 minute, 36 seconds and 184, which was 02 seconds faster than Alonso, and Vettel certainly did not Let's get the pole position of this station.

The top three starters are Red Bull’s Vettel, Renault’s Alonso and Red Bull’s Webber. It’s worth mentioning that these three teams use Renault’s engines, obviously Renault’s engines Very suitable for this track. Barrichello is in fourth place, followed by Toyota's Trulli and Williams' Rosberg.

As for Zhang Guan, although the result given by the competition is 10th, everyone knows that Zhang Guan will definitely start at the last place tomorrow.

......

The qualifying is over. In the entire maintenance area, only the powerhouse of the China Force team is still busy. They have to change the engine of the Zhang Guan car, and this work is the same as the work of reassembling the car. After replacing the engine, the car has to be debugged. Of course, this kind of debugging can only be done in the garage, not on the road.

According to the rules of the competition, other cars have been sealed. At this time, if you want to debug or replace parts, you will have to bear the penalty of backward departure. Formula 1 is very clear for this type of penalty, such as replacement. The transmission needs to go back five places, the engine needs to go back ten places, and the debugging car has to start in the maintenance area.

Zhang Guan is already the last one to start, so even if it is a new car, it is the last one to start, and the team has also simply replaced all the parts that can be replaced with a new set.

In the back office, Zhang Guan and Ross Brown are discussing tomorrow's strategy.

"The initial cause of the engine explosion has been found out, it is caused by the high temperature. We have looked at the data in the practice game, and your engine has been overheated during the practice. But the temperature dropped quickly at that time, so I didn’t care too much, and I didn’t expect to make a big mistake in the end.” Ross Brown said.

"The mileage of this engine is actually not much~IndoMTL.com~We finished the race in Australia, but only half of the race in Malaysia, so it should not be a problem now." Zhan, technical director of the team Dale continued: "According to our original strategy, we have to change the engine after the race in China. Other teams even plan to use the first engine to run Bahrain."

Zendall produced a report and then said: "I compared the Zhang Guan engine temperature data in the previous game, and at the same time made a horizontal comparison with the engine switched by Barry, and then compared the previous four test engines. From the data point of view, the engine data of the cylinder explosion is slightly abnormal, so our technical team initially determined that the reason for the engine explosion is that the quality of the engine is defective. This should be a separate case. "

Ross Brown nodded: "Send the relevant data to Mercedes-Benz. They may be more eager to know the reason than us."

Ross Brown finished, looked at Zhang Guan, and then said: "Tomorrow, your last start, we have to use the heavy fuel strategy of stopping."

Zhang Guan thought about it, but shook his head. He opened his mouth and said, "Help me fill up the oil!" (To be continued.) Mobile phone users, please browse m for a better reading experience.
