Chapter 634: Still in Pole Position
张冠的成绩是1分33秒778，他是第一个跑进1分34秒以内的车手。而No.2则是红牛车队的韦伯，他的成绩是1分34秒222，他们之间的差距实际上也就是0.4秒多一点，但是偏爱整数的人们还是把这个差距算作了0.5秒。

In F1 qualifying, the difference of only 0.001 seconds between two drivers happens from time to time. Generally, the difference of 0.01 seconds or 0.02 seconds is relatively normal for two drivers with adjacent rankings, and it is considered relatively large if it exceeds 0.1 seconds. 0.5 seconds is obviously an insurmountable gap.

"Zhang Guan is so fast! This is the second qualifying session. All the cars use soft tires and light fuel. The fastest qualifying session in the second session means that it is the fastest car! The gap of 0.5 seconds is insurmountable!"

"It seems that our previous judgments were all wrong. Even at the Sepang circuit, the Chinese power still occupies absolute dominance! Maybe Zhang Guan will win the pole position in tomorrow's race!"

"Maybe? I think it is for sure. 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, with such a large gap, Zhang Guan can indeed add a lot of gasoline. They will have a huge advantage in strategic selection."

Amidst the people's discussions, the second quarter of the game also ended.Both McLaren cars were knocked out, and it seems that the "perjury gate" did affect McLaren's overall situation.Williams and BMW Sauber also lost one car each.Toyota Racing Team and Red Bull Racing Team were very eye-catching in the second quarter, and their four-quantity cars occupied the second to No.5.The two world champions Ferrari's Raikkonen and Renault's Alonso are ranked ninth and tenth.

A few minutes later, the third qualifying session also started.

Zhang Guan was almost 2 seconds faster than No.0.5 in the second qualifying session, which made him very confident and the car also added fuel for several laps.

The series of high-speed corners at the 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 it can maintain the speed of entering and exiting the corner.From this point of view, it is impossible for Ferrari without the use of double-layer diffuser to get the top few.

Red Bull, Toyota and China Power have successively run within 1 minute and 36 seconds, and have continuously improved their respective results, while Ferrari has not even touched the edge of 1 minute and 36 seconds.The situation was very similar to the previous one. Ferrari and McLaren, the two giants, were once again out of the race at the Sepang Circuit.

Truly of the Toyota team first ran within 1:35. He was the unlucky guy who was fined 50 seconds back for surpassing Hamilton in the last stop. After Toyota’s appeal, the International Automobile Federation again Replenishing him for 25 seconds and canceling Hamilton's results allowed Trulli to replace Hamilton and rank No.25 in the driver's standings.

Perhaps because of this reason, Trulli seemed very excited today, constantly refreshing his fastest lap time.

1分35秒431、1分35秒352、1分35秒339，连续三圈，特鲁利越跑越快，而在他之后，始终没有人能够突破1分35秒50的关卡。

"Is Toyota's Trulli going to get pole position?"

Just when people started to have this idea, Zhang Guan put on a new set of soft tires and ran out from the pit lane.

"Look, Zhang Guan came out, it's soft tires, it should be a brand new set of soft tires!"

"Now it seems that only Zhang Guan has the opportunity to surpass Toyota."

"The game has not yet reached the final moment, and the outcome is still undecided."

On the track, it's the last 2 minutes.Zhang Guan also started his last timing lap, while Toyota's Trulli was about one-third of the lap behind him.

At this time, the countdown is over, but the cars still on the track have already passed the finishing point, which means that their lap is still a valid result.

"Vettel, 1:35! Good result. But because he continued to drive after an accident in the last race, he was considered dangerous driving and had to start 518 places behind!"

"Toyota Glock... 1:35!"

"Barrichello... 1:35! Very good, but still not better than the Toyota Trulli."

Zhang Guan's teammate Barrichello added more oil than Zhang Guan.He changed the gearbox in Friday's practice. According to the regulations, the replacement of the gearbox in the race stage requires five places back to start, so he chose a tactic with relatively more fuel.

"We'll see Zhang Guan next! Well, the second time period is almost 0.1 seconds ahead of Trulli in the previous lap, and it is very hopeful to surpass Trulli!"

Each track is divided into three time periods, and each time period can be divided into sections to clearly see where the driver is running faster and where the driver is running slower.

Turns 12 and 13 are high-speed turns, while turn 14 is a corner of about 70 degrees. After turn 14, it enters the second longest straight on the track.

The Toyota team also used the modified diffuser, so their downforce in the corners is also very good, which is not lost to the Chinese power car.But when it comes to the straight track, Toyota's racing engine is obviously not as good as that of Mercedes-Benz, so on the straight track, the racing car of China Power is obviously faster.

“1分35秒061！张冠的成绩已经无限的接近了1分35秒大关了！丰田的特鲁利还有最后一个计时圈，我们看特鲁利能不能超过他！”

People's focus was on Trulli at the back again, he was still fighting for the pole position, and he still had the last timing lap.

However, in the maintenance area, the technicians of the Toyota team looked very relaxed. This was not because Trulli had the opportunity to hit the pole position, but because of the current results of Trulli, there was no hope of hitting the pole position at all.

1:35, Trulli's last result, was more than 273 seconds behind Zhang Guan.

In fact, Trulli was almost 0.15 seconds slower than Zhang Guan when he passed the timing point of the second stage, and there was a straight line in the third timing section of the Sepang circuit, as we all know, Toyota's engine The performance on the straights is far inferior to the Mercedes-Benz engine, so by the third time period, the Toyota will only be slower.

Although they failed to get the pole position, the Toyota team has already started to celebrate. The team's technicians even started to clap and hug each other to celebrate, and they can be ranked second on the grid, which completely exceeded their expectations.

Another point is that No. 3 Vettel and No. 4 Barrichello will start backward in tomorrow's game, and No. 5 happens to be the Glock of the Toyota team, which means that tomorrow's game Toyota will start in second and third, which of course deserves Toyota's celebration.

……

The commentator shouted involuntarily: "Crazy, so crazy! Zhang Guan has won the pole position for two consecutive races. He is 2 seconds faster than the No.0.2 Trulli. The advantage is huge! There has never been a new team. It is possible to get pole positions in the first two races in a row, but China Power has done it! And we know that Sepang Circuit is a track that is not easy to overtake. The champion, the two consecutive championships have already begun to wave to Zhang Guan."
