Zhang Guan's score is 1 minute 33 seconds 778, he is the first driver to run within 1 minute 34 seconds. The second place is Webber of the Red Bull team. His score is 1 minute 34 seconds 222. The gap between them is actually a little more than 0.4 seconds, but people who prefer integers still count this gap as 0.5 seconds.
In the qualifying of f1, the difference between the two drivers is only 0.001 seconds. Generally, the difference between the two drivers who are adjacent to each other is 0.01 seconds or 0.02 seconds, and it is normal to exceed 0.1 seconds. The gap is now 0.5 seconds, which is obviously an insurmountable gap.
"Zhang Guan is fast! This is the second quarter of qualifying. All cars are made of soft tires and light load oil. The fastest qualifying in the second quarter means that it is the fastest car! The 0.5 second gap cannot be exceeded!"
"It seems that our previous judgments were wrong. Even at the Sepang circuit, Chinese power still has absolute dominance! Maybe Zhang Guan will win the pole position for tomorrow's race!"
"Maybe? I think it is certain. After all, there is a gap of 0.5 seconds. I think even if Zhang Guan adds more than ten liters of gasoline, he can still get the first place."
"Yes, this large gap, Zhang Guan can indeed add a lot of gasoline, they will have a huge advantage in strategic choice."
In the discussion of people, the second quarter ended. Both McLaren cars have been eliminated, and it seems that the "forgery gate" did affect McLaren's overall situation. Williams team and BMW Sauber team also have one car each eliminated. Toyota and Red Bull Racing were very eye-catching in the second quarter. Their four-volume cars occupied the second to fifth places. Two world champions, Ferrari's Raikkonen and Renault's Alonso, ranked ninth and tenth.
After a few minutes, the third quarter qualifying also began.
Zhang Guan qualified in the second quarter faster than the second place by nearly 0.5 seconds, which made him very confident, and the car also added several laps of fuel.
The series of high-speed bends at Sepang Circuit is a test of the downforce of the car, and the double-layer diffuser is obviously good at providing good downforce for the car. The better the downforce, the more able to maintain the speed of entering and exiting the corner. From this point of view, it is impossible for Ferrari without the double diffuser to get the top few.
Red Bull, Toyota and China Power have successively ran in less than 1 minute and 36 seconds, and have continuously improved their respective results, but Ferrari has not even touched the edge of 1 minute and 36 seconds. The situation is very similar to the previous one. Ferrari and McLaren are out of the race again in Sepang.
The Toyota team’s Tru rate ran into within 1 minute, 35 seconds and 50 seconds. He was the unlucky egg who was penalized by 25 seconds over Hamilton in the last stop. After the Toyota team’s complaint, the International Automobile Federation Replenishing him for 25 seconds, and canceling Hamilton's results, which led Trulli to replace Hamilton, ranking third in the drivers' standings.
Perhaps for this reason, Trulli today is very excited, constantly refreshing his fastest lap.
1 minute 35 seconds 431, 1 minute 35 seconds 352, 1 minute 35 seconds 339, three consecutive laps, Trulli runs faster and faster, and after him, no one has been able to break through the 1 minute 35 seconds 50 level.
"Did Toyota Trulli get pole position?"
Just when people started to have this idea, Zhang Guan put on a brand-new set of soft tires and ran out of the maintenance area.
"Look, Zhang Guan came out, it's a soft tire, it should be a brand new set of soft tires!"
"Now it seems that the only chance to surpass Toyota is Zhang Guan."
"The game has not yet reached the final moment, the outcome is undecided."
On the track, the last two minutes have arrived. Zhang Guan also started his last lap, and Toyota's Trulli was about a third of a lap behind him.
At this point the countdown has ended, but the cars still on the track have already passed the end point, which means that they are still valid in this lap.
"Vettel, 1 minute 35 seconds 518! A good result. But he was considered a dangerous driver because he continued to drive after the accident at the last race and had to go back 10 places to start!"
"Toyota's Glock...690 for 1 minute 35 seconds!"
"Barrichello... 1 minute 35 seconds 651! Very good, but still no more than Toyota's Trulli."
Zhang Guan's teammate Barrichello added more fuel than Zhang Guan. He changed the gearbox during Friday's practice. According to the regulations, the gearbox was replaced by the fifth position, so he chose a tactic with a relatively large amount of fuel.
"It's up to Zhang Guan next! Well, the second counting period is already faster than the Trulli of the previous lap by 0.1 seconds, and it is hopeful to surpass Trulli!"
Each track is divided into three sections and time slots, and the timing of each section can clearly show where the driver runs faster and where it runs slower.
Turns 12 and 13 are both high-speed turns, while turn 14 is a corner of about 70 degrees, after turning 14 into the second longest straight on the track.
The Toyota team also uses the modified diffuser, so their downforce in the corners is also great, and they don’t lose to the Chinese power car. But on the straight, Toyota's racing engine is obviously not as good as Mercedes-Benz's racing engine, so on the straight, the Chinese power car is obviously faster.
"1 minute 35 seconds 061! Zhang Guan's results have been infinitely close to the 1 minute 35 seconds mark! Toyota Trulli has the last lap, we can see whether Trulli can exceed him!"
People's focus was on Trulli, who was still fighting for pole position, and he had the last lap.
However, the technicians of the Toyota team looked very relaxed in the maintenance area. This is not because Trulli has the opportunity to hit the pole position, but because of the current Trulli's performance, there is no hope of hitting the pole position.
1 minute 35 seconds 273, this is Trulli's final result, more than 0.2 seconds slower than Zhang Guan.
In fact, Trulli was almost 0.15 seconds slower than Zhang Guan when passing by the second stage timing point, and there was a big straight in the third counting period of Sepang Circuit. It is well known that Toyota's engine The performance on the straight is far inferior to that of Mercedes-Benz's engine, so in the third period, Toyota will only slow down more.
Although they could not get the pole position, the Toyota team has begun to celebrate, the team's technicians even started to clap each other to hug and celebrate, can be ranked second start, which completely exceeded their expectations.
Another point is that Vettel in the third place and Barrichello in the fourth place both have to go back in the race tomorrow, and the fifth place happens to be Glock of the Toyota team, which means tomorrow's race Among them, Toyota will start in the second and third positions, which is certainly worth celebrating.
...
The narrator shouted involuntarily: "Crazy, it's crazy! Zhang Guan got pole position in two consecutive stations, he was 0.2 seconds faster than the second place Trulli, and the advantage is huge! There has never been a new team. You can get pole positions consecutively in your first two races, but China Power has done it! And we know that Sepang is a circuit that is not easy to overtake. Starting from the pole position with Zhang Guan is very likely to get the final The champion, two consecutive championships have already started waving to Zhang Guan." (Unfinished to be continued.)
