Zhang Guan didn't pay any attention to domestic affairs. The so-called soldiers came to cover up the water, and he never intended to bow his head to the evil forces. Zhang Guan is preparing for the next Spanish match.
In the Formula One season, there will be two races in Spain, Spain and Europe, where the Spanish site is the Catalunya track, and the European race is in Valencia Road, these two circuits are famous European circuits.
The Spanish race on May 8 will be held at the Catalunya circuit, which is one of the most famous circuits in the world and is known as the most perfect circuit in the world. Every year the Formula 1 pre-match test drive will come here, such as this year's winter test, the location is at the Catalunya circuit.
In terms of difficulty, the Catalonia circuit is arguably the most difficult and most demanding of all F1 circuits, with almost any challenge in modern racing. The driver has to cope with three u-turns, a few quick corners, and some grades, especially the bends before sprinting straight. In the future, the design concepts of many new circuits will be derived from the Catalan circuit, such as the Shanghai International Circuit. The design will draw on the Catalan circuit.
In previous races, the Catalonia circuit also has a big feature. The cars that can win the championship here are often the best cars of the season, such as the 1992 Williams car, 1995 Benetton cars in 1998, McLaren cars in 1998 and 1999, Ferrari cars from 2001 to 2004, Renault in 2006, etc., their drivers won the world championship of the year.
Of all the teams in this year, China Power’s cars are undoubtedly the best performers, but for now, China Power’s cars are the most competitive. Big.
The Catalunya track is undoubtedly the most familiar track for all teams, not only because this is one of the winter test tracks, but also the team’s new car tests are often selected here, so The team also has the most comprehensive data on the tuning of the Catalan circuit. On other tracks, the team needs to find out the most suitable tuning of the car through the practice. In the Catalonia circuit, the team only needs to look at the previous year’s records to find a Set the most suitable adjustment plan. uu1;
In many race tracks, every year, some fine-tuning will be done according to the car and the rules, such as adjusting the curvature of the curve, adjusting the length of the straight track, etc., but this is not the case for the Catalonia circuit. Like the template of the track, almost no changes will be made. The team and the driver are familiar with it and can cope with it.
This is F1's first stop after returning to the European base camp, where most teams have upgraded their cars. Among them, the biggest upgrade is Ferrari. They not only installed double diffusers, but also launched a completely upgraded version of the car. The entire aerodynamic layout of the car has been readjusted.
At this time, less than a month after the International Automobile Federation announced the compliance of the double diffuser, Ferrari had already produced a new set of aerodynamic racing cars. They have to say that their research and development capabilities are indeed very strong.
On Friday's practice, the drivers ushered in another good weather. After the rain battle between the Malaysian station and the Chinese station, and the intense heat of the Bahrain station, a good weather is extremely precious for the drivers. The temperature of 24 degrees Celsius and the track temperature of 36 degrees Celsius, compared with Bahrain, is like heaven.
The drivers are also running on the track non-stop. Except for the two cars that have encountered mechanical failures, almost all other cars are running according to the way of wearing a set of tires, running for three or five laps There are a lot of people, and there are many people who have more than forty laps, which is basically equivalent to running three-quarters of the race.
This is the Catalunya circuit, the team is already familiar with how to configure the car on this track, so there is no need for the car to make more pit stops, and the saved pit time is used by the driver on the track . uu2;
Ferrari's performance on Friday and Saturday was very strong, and the new aerodynamics kit helped them a lot. The Red Bull team, which performed very well in the first few stations, performed very well in practice. But everyone knows that practice is not a race, and drivers can't play as hard as the race.
The qualifying session on Saturday afternoon came at a time when the car and the driver really took the lead.
In the first quarter, two of Force India’s cars were out of the game, and surprisingly, the two giants, Ferrari and McLaren, each also had a car to stop the first round, of which Ferrari was eliminated. Driver No. 1 Raikkonen.
Last year’s Spanish Grand Prix, also on this Catalan track, Raikkonen won the championship and set a record for the fastest lap, perhaps because of this, making the team too confident in Raikkonen, He only ran three laps and returned to the garage. In the end, he was eliminated. This was a Ferrari strategic mistake.
McLaren, another giant, really lacked competitiveness in this race. Their No. 2 driver was eliminated in the first quarter, while No. 1 driver defending champion Hamilton also stopped in the second quarter. It seems that their newly upgraded aerodynamic kit has little effect.
As recognized before the race, the winner of the Catalan circuit may not be the best driver, but his car must be the best car. After the third quarter of the qualifying, the drivers’ The results confirm this point. uu3;
Two Chinese forces, two Red Bulls and the remaining Ferrari, floated within 1 minute and 21 seconds early, while the remaining five cars still have a gap of more than 0.2 seconds between the 1 minute and 21 seconds. , This is obviously the gap in the car.
In the last three consecutive races, Red Bull Racing is the main opponent of Chinese power, and Vettel has competed with Zhang Guan for two consecutive championships. As for Ferrari, although a car retired due to strategic mistakes, the effect of upgrading their new car is also reflected, and the results are not inferior to Red Bull and Chinese forces.
In the end, Zhang Guan still got a pole position for China Power. He led Red Bull team's Vettel by 0.2 seconds. The third place was won by Barrichello. The fourth place was Ferrari's Massa. He was third from Barry. Chero only has a gap of 0.008 seconds.
"This is the fifth race of this year. Ferrari's car almost got the top three. It seems that Ferrari has already started to sound the horn of counterattack." Ross Brown's eyes revealed a worry, as Ferrari had The "Big Three", Rose Brown did not dare to underestimate Ferrari.
Now, the main competitor of China Power is not just the Red Bull team. A more terrible enemy has begun to rise. The "Red Devil" Ferrari in the racing world has finally revealed his gritty fangs.
