The audience at the scene was full of exclamation. Everyone thought Barrichello's results were fast enough, but Zhang Guan was faster than Barrichello by nearly 0.1 seconds.
And more importantly, as the result of the first qualifying session, the China Power car took the top two again.
Zhang Guan has drove the car back to the maintenance area, but the other cars still struggling on the track have never been able to run within 1 minute and 25 seconds.
In the past of one minute and one second, Ferrari's car also returned to the maintenance area. Although they did not get the top two, their results were enough to enter the third quarter qualifying, so there is no need to continue to spend outside. physical strength.
Several drivers with unsatisfactory results continued to brush their fastest laps on the track, but they no longer pose a threat to the two cars of China Power.
"It seems that in the second quarter of the practice session, the China Power Team once again took the top two!
"Yes, in this case, the driver who is still running on the track is obviously unable to enter within 1 minute and 25 seconds."
"I didn’t expect that a new team not only took the top two in the first practice session, but also took the top two in the second practice session, and only they can run within 1 minute 25 seconds, see Their cars are really fast!"
"It's not just racing. Didn't you see Zhang Guan's driving just now? The technology is also first-rate! Especially the kind of cornering technology, the average driver definitely does not have such a great skill."
"The new drivers of the new team can have such a strong strength, it seems that this year's f1 will change."
...
Qualifying for the second quarter was over. Surprisingly, McLaren, as a big team, underperformed and was eliminated. Two teams, Red Bull and Toyota, were eye-catching and successfully entered the third round of qualifying.
In the third quarter, the qualifying time is only 1o minutes, and the drivers still have to compete for the fastest car. Two people can get the first qualifying car tomorrow.
The position of the Formula One racing car is arranged in a diagonal zigzag, the first place is at the front, the second place is behind the first place; the third place is directly behind the first place, and it is also the second place Diagonally behind; the fourth place is directly behind the second place... and so on, so when the car is in front, the first two drivers are completely empty in front of them, they don’t have to worry about being blocked by the front car, and the advantage of the first place is At the front, you can turn to the first corner one step earlier.
In addition, the rules also stipulate that in the third quarter qualifying, the car should be added with gasoline for the race tomorrow. This rule also makes it impossible for the car to run with light oil, otherwise there will be no oil at the beginning of the race tomorrow. Only how much oil is added is a question worth studying.
With less fuel, the car is lighter and the car is faster. You can get better results in the third quarter qualifying. The car will be more advanced tomorrow, but the consequence is that tomorrow There will be less oil during the race and you need to go to the service station to refuel earlier. Conversely, the more you cheer, the qualifying results will definitely be worse, but tomorrow’s main race can come later to the maintenance station to cheer, and you can run two more laps on the track.
It takes a lot of time to refuel the car at the pit stop. The limit of the car in the maintenance area is 8o-1oo kilometers (different for each track), which means that others run for two or three hundred kilometers outside, and the car to refuel can only run 8o kilometers. At the same time, the refueling process also takes time. From entering the maintenance area, it is calculated that it takes about 2o seconds to accumulate one refueling. For the driver, only one lap on the track is able to run out of tenths of a second. 2o seconds do not know how many laps to run to get back, and as long as one more stop, it is a waste.
So in this case, the game where Schumacher still won the championship after four pit stops was hailed as a classic. Everyone is pitted once or twice, and Schumacher's four pit stops are equivalent to allowing others to win for at least thirty or forty seconds, but it is indeed a classic.
How much fuel is added to the team is like a very complex multiple choice question. But this is just one of the multiple choice questions, the other multiple choice question is the choice of tires.
The rules require that the third quarter qualifying tire is also the tire used for the start of the official race the next day, which makes the team have to consider the problem of tire wear. If the tires wear out too much during qualifying, the tires may not be able to hold in advance during the next day's race. Imagine that someone else's tire can run 15 laps, and you can only run 1o laps, which requires you to pit in five laps in advance, and the time of 2o seconds is gone.
If the team wants to change the tires before the race, they can only change the tires that have been used in the qualifying race, that is, in the main race, they must use a set of second-hand tires, and there is no way to use new tires. Of course, it's another matter to rain. Rainy tires must be used for safety on rainy days.
The above rules are actually only valid for cars that qualify for the third quarter. The cars that were eliminated before are only ineligible to participate in the third quarter qualifying, but they are still eligible to refuel and change tires before the end of the qualifying. The effect is equivalent to they participated in the third quarter qualifying, but not in the race Debut. They can fill up with fuel and change to a new tire for the next day's race. Although the car will be heavier and slower at the start stage, they can refuel one less time and earn 2o seconds.
Therefore, there will be the first car in the competition, but eventually boarded the podium. Don't think this is a magical thing. Maybe he has entered the station once or twice less than others.

In the maintenance area, Zhang Guanzheng and Ross Brown discussed the next fueling and tire strategy.
"In the third quarter qualifying, soft tires must be used. We have to fight for pole position. We need soft tires to improve the car! The key is how much fuel we need to add. We have to consider that other teams are likely to be lighter. Oil races to compete for the position of a front row car." Ross Brown said.
"If we are also light oil, we can definitely get the first row of cars. From the second round, we have an advantage of close to o.5 seconds. I suggest that we still add a medium amount of fuel." Zhang Guan said to the microphone .
Rose-thought for a while: "This year's soft tires are more worn than we thought. The soft tires will run into 11 or 12 laps and there will be more severe granulation. Medium oil can run for 17 or 8 laps, but I I was worried that the soft tires would not be able to hold so many laps. At that time, I would be forced to enter the station ahead of time.
"I will put on a neutral tire in a while, I will run a lap, and then come back immediately, so that I can replace this set of neutral tires tomorrow! We start with a neutral tire, as long as the weather tomorrow is not very hot, it should be Can support more than fifteen laps." Zhang Guan said.
"Yes, but you have to make sure you get the pole position. If you have a car in front and it happens that they are using soft tires, the car will be more troublesome." Rose Brown said.
"No problem, I believe the first row of cars must belong to us!" (To be continued.) 8
