At 11 am on Saturday morning, the third practice match started on time.
"As in Australia, the granulation of super-soft tires is still very serious. This soft tire from Princeton is really not wear-resistant." Zhang Guan said to the radio.
"The sensor shows that your engine temperature seems to be a bit high." The engineer's voice came from the headset.
"Do you need to slow down?" Zhang Guan asked.
"Not for the time being, let's look at it again... Well, the temperature seems to have dropped a little, probably because of the continuous high-speed bend just now," the engineer said.
"How are the results of other teams?" Zhang Guan then asked.
"McLaren's double-layer diffuser looks very effective. At present, the Hamilton retainer is the fastest single lap. You are 0.1 seconds apart." The engineer said.
"Okay, I'll run faster next lap." Zhang Guan replied.
"Alonso slipped out of the track at turn 9. His car seems to be having problems. Pay attention to turn 9, his car is still parked there, and he has to slow down when he gets there," the engineer reminded.
"Ok, no problem."
In the practice on Saturday morning, the three teams of the "Diffusion Gang", China Power, Williams and Toyota still achieved good results, and the McLaren team with the transitional double-layer diffuser also performed well. Two cars All ran into the top ten. The Ferrari team did not install a kinetic energy recovery system at this station, and their status has also picked up. The Red Bull team, which performed well in the first two stations, did not show good results in practice. The two drivers only ran for seven. He returned to the maintenance area in eight laps.
The 60-minute practice session in the morning ended quickly. Rosberg of Williams finally surpassed Zhang Guan by 0.039 seconds on the last lap and became the first practice session on Saturday. Although Zhang Guan Won the second place, but still got the most applause, followed by Trulli, Hamilton and Barrichello.
Saturday's practice game is regarded as the vane of qualifying. From the perspective of Zhang Guan's performance, he is still the most promising person to hit the pole position. Moreover, this is the home of Chinese power, so the advantage is very obvious.
The qualifying will start at two o'clock in the afternoon, and when the drivers and the staff of the teams are still having lunch, the racing field is already full of spectators.
The fixed stands of the Shanghai International Circuit can accommodate 50,000 spectators, and the temporary stands can accommodate 150,000 spectators. Due to the appearance of Zhang Guan this year, the organizers have temporarily built a stand that can accommodate 50,000 spectators. 250,000 people arrived at the scene to watch the battle. There are countless people waiting in front of the TV.
Sports Channel started broadcasting the special program of the Shanghai Grand Prix after the midday news program. Several guests chatted there for more than an hour, and finally waited until two o'clock in the afternoon, when the qualifying began.
The climate in mid-April is still very suitable. The air temperature is 24 degrees Celsius, which is neither hot nor cold for drivers; the track temperature of 37 degrees Celsius is also just right for tires.
In the first quarter, Rosberg of the Williams team took the lead. The first lap set a benchmark of 1 minute, 37 seconds and 100, and then Ferrari’s Massa ran out of 1 minute, 36 seconds and 780. Then ran out of the road 1 minute 36 seconds 480, two Ferraris quickly refreshed the fastest lap.
McLaren who put on the transition diffuser also performed very well. Hamilton started McLaren's recovery with a 1:36.381. After that, except for Red Bull's Weber, no one could stand and surpass Hamilton's results.
Red Bull, who was underperforming in the practice session, also recovered in the first quarter of qualifying. Weber's score was 1 minute 35 seconds 751, which was the first driver to run within 1 minute 56 seconds. For the Shanghai circuit, which is a test of the comprehensive performance of the car, the Red Bull-focused aerodynamic car is very advantageous.
The team told Weber that he became the first driver to run within 1 minute and 36 seconds. Weber happily returned to the maintenance area, and the surrounding audience's extremely warm applause gave Weber a feeling of flutter.
"The Chinese audience is really enthusiastic!" Weber thought happily.
But soon, he saw the driver's score sheet, and he knew that the applause was not for himself.
China Force Barrichello has just refreshed the fastest lap, 1 minute 35 seconds 701, as the home team, it deserves a warm applause from the audience.
However, more enthusiastic applause was behind. Zhang Guan brushed the fastest lap of 1 minute 35 seconds 433 after Barrichello, which was 0.3 seconds faster than Weber's lap. In qualifying, 0.3 Seconds are still an insurmountable gap.
The applause was deafening. Although it was only the first practice session, many fans seemed to have a hunch that Zhang Guan would still get the final pole position.
"Zhang Guan is 0.3 seconds faster than Weber. Although this is not as perverted as the previous 0.5 seconds, it can be based on an insurmountable gap. It seems that Zhang Guan's dominance continues into the Chinese station." Foreign One of the narrators sighed and sighed, while the domestic narrator was touted vigorously, with an advantage of 0.3 seconds, to the domestic narrator's mouth as if it had become the gap between high-speed rail and general express.
In the first qualifying session, Zhang Guan showed a crushing advantage, which is not surprising. The two cars of Force India were the last two and were eliminated.
After a five-minute break, the second quarter of qualifying began. All cars were replaced with super-soft tires, using light-loaded oil, especially Red Bull’s two complete cars, posing a posture to challenge Zhang Guan. .
Barrichello was the first to wait for the summit, while Hamilton came in second, the gap between the top six was close, and Raikkonen in sixth place was only 0.1 seconds behind Barrichello, and the drivers on the track were still nonstop. Is refreshing the fastest lap.
Webber of the Red Bulls ran a fastest lap of 1 minute, 35 seconds and 173. This result has been infinitely close to the 1 minute and 35 seconds mark. However, in this first position, he only sat for five seconds and crowned He took the first place with 1 minute 34 seconds 879 and ran into the 1 minute 35 seconds mark, which is also the fastest lap in the game today.
After replacing the super soft tire, Zhang Guan still maintained the advantage of 0.3 seconds.
After that, Vettel ran out 1 minute 35 seconds 130, which is still a big gap from Zhang Guan. Obviously Vettel has squeezed the Red Bull car to the limit, but there is still no way to surpass Zhang Guan.
Red Bull's command center, Newey shook his head helplessly. Today's results seem to narrow the gap with China's power, but considering the factors of the track, the gap is actually the same as before.
"Zhang Guan still rules the game. The advantage of 0.3 seconds is unshakable. It seems that the China Power Team can already celebrate the pole position in the continuous field." The commentator said.
"Yeah, Zhang Guan won the pole position in three consecutive stations. How many years have this kind of dominance not appeared?" said another commentator.
"Qualifying in the third quarter started. Zhang Guan came out very early this time... Hey, what's going on? Black smoke! Black rock came out of the tail of Zhang Guan's car. Is it because of an engine problem?"
In the third quarter qualifying, Zhang Guan left the maintenance area earlier and started his own tire warmer. But Zhang Guan's tire warmer was not over yet, and black smoke came from the rear of his car, and then the black smoke grew bigger and bigger, and then turned into thick smoke.
"Oops, Zhang Guan's engine burst!" (~^~)
