Chapter 543 Chapter 543 - Qualifying Match - 4
For safety reasons, Bu Zelu had no choice but to move out of the lane. He was overtaken by various racing cars again, so he made a full circle and returned to the pit area.

Right when it was time to conduct a melee practice, Bizexue put on full rain tires and drove out of the maintenance area again.

After 5 minutes of sweeping away the water, the rain finally subsided a little. Now, all the cars on the track got back into the pit area.

Change to semi rain tires!

MD, for the sake of speed, people in F1 don't care about danger or not. Things like slippery roads in rainy days are not considered by them at all.

Just after clearing the traffic lanes, the rain turned into a drizzle, and the game started again.

Bu Zelu, who had put on semi-rain tires again, hurried to run his own flying lap, otherwise he was afraid that he would be eliminated in P2.

The elimination rules of P2 are the same as that of P1, and the 6 slowest cars are also eliminated. As for P3, they are naturally sorted from the fastest to the slowest.

In fact, the elimination rules of this qualifying race change every year, and the number of eliminations depends on the number of cars participating each year.

Just make sure there are only 3 people left in the P10 stage.

Bu Zelu opened some distance. In fact, if he was only running in qualifying, he would be the most confident, even if it was raining.

Because there is no need to worry about overtaking, although now Bao Zelu has been able to adapt to competing with other competitions.

But to be honest, Bu Zelu has never participated in an official race at all, and all the drivers will not be overtaking gently by then.

Slow down, enter the corner, speed up, Bu Zelu doesn't think so much now, what he needs now is the result, run faster!
With his familiarity with the track and his magical guidance, Bu Zelu only had to look ahead to see if the mist was blowing again.

During the flying lap, Bu Zelu didn't know his specific speed. Even when he passed the 'start grid', the water mist caused by the surroundings made it difficult for him to see the specific 'prompt board'.

Let's run, whoever loves speed anyway needs to squeeze out the best performance of this car.

'grass! When Bu Zelu just performed the second flight circle again, he received a reminder from TR!
"Yellow flag on the second track, yellow flag on the second track, some cars slipped off the track, pay attention to slow down!"

'MD! "Bu Zelu was about to squeeze his speed in this lap, and he encountered a yellow flag, but it is also understandable on rainy days.

After turning a few corners, Bu Zelu saw a racing car parked next to the tire wall from the corner of his eye, but it passed in a flash, and he didn't have time to care about others.

"joye, BOX, BOX!"

Just after Bu Zelu passed the timing point of the third stage, TR received the message again, and got the need to dispatch the safety car from TR.

'What a fucking meow! '

Bu Zelu was not the only one who was depressed. In the case of a safety car in qualifying, no one would stay on the track, but quickly returned to the maintenance area.

"Williams' Maldonado rushed out of the track, and the car stopped in the dangerous area of ​​turning 11!" TR's news came from the headset again.

Helpless, Bu Zelu quickly asked him about his current results.

"We should be safe in seventh place now, and we can enter P7!" Baier said again.

"That's good!" Bu Zelu also said in the microphone.

Although this meeting has already returned to the maintenance area, but Bu Zelu is wearing a helmet, and it is convenient to communicate with headphones.

Soon the safety car was lifted, and the stop watch resumed the countdown. An accident like this must stop the watch. After all, this is qualifying, and there is not much time in itself.

The seventh position of Bu Zeli can only be said to be relatively safe, because most of the people are also making achievements in these few laps.

The track has just been cleared by everyone.

Rainy tracks are such a hassle.

After completing the exit lap, Bu Zelu didn't have much to do in the first flying lap. Like him, other drivers all came out in a swarm again, and they couldn't run as much as they wanted on the track.

I can only slow down relatively, and open a window for myself to run the results.

"joye, you only have two chances for laps now, time is running out, you must run within 1:45 for this lap, otherwise you will have no chance for the third lap!" TR's news came again.

"Roger that!"

Although Bu Zelu said so, in fact he couldn't run fast at all. He encountered a car formation of 4 cars in front of him. If he slowed down, then this lap would be useless.

It was hard for him to receive this news. Even if he overtook the car formation in front of him, he would slow down relatively, and he couldn't run within 1:45 seconds at all.

After finally passing the traffic, Bu Zelu began to speed up. When he crossed the starting line, Bu Zelu immediately asked the team's technical team in TR.

"How far am I short?"

"1:52"

"Roger that!"

MD, it's so far behind, he must recover at least 7 seconds now, otherwise the speed of the last lap is useless, and his flying lap may be the last flying lap.

At this time, the Mercedes team is also very concerned about Bu Zelu. It is definitely impossible to catch up with 7 seconds. So Bu Zelu now only has the last flying lap left. Whether he can enter P3 depends on this wave.

Slow down, turn in, speed up, turn out...

"Wow!" Bu Zelu had just entered the third time trial stage, and the yellow lights on both sides of the track were lit, and he didn't know what happened.

But he has to slow down now!

After passing through two corners in a row, Bu Zelu finally saw the situation due to the drop in the track, and another car rushed out of the track.

As Buze walked through the third timed stage, after reaching the last corner, it was the straight straight of the grid.

Bu Zelu looked at the red light in front of the starting line, and helplessly patted the steering wheel!

The countdown to P2 is over, and he did not seize the last opportunity. Now everything depends on the previous results.

After slowing down, Bu Zelu needs to run another lap before returning to the entrance of the pit area.

On the other side, Mercedes looked nervously at all the new results, and was relieved to see Rosberg rise to fifth.

Now that a car has been guaranteed to enter P3, everyone is watching Bu Zelu's results.

Bu Zelu's ranking dropped from seventh all the way. When he fell out of the top ten, the entire team staff was annoyed for a while.

Toto Wolff shook his head, watching Bu Zelu be eliminated in P10 with only 0.536 away from the 2th place.

Despite various conditions on the track, it is an indisputable fact that Bu Zelu did not achieve the best results.

Other drivers encountered the same situation as Bu Zelu, but other people's cars were fast, especially his teammate was 2 seconds faster than Bu Zelu, the comparison was very clear.

"Sorry, guys!"

Bu Zelu was very depressed when he learned that he was eliminated in P2, but his whole team debugged this car for a week.

Not to mention the months of preparation ahead, F1 is not a one-man race, in fact, the entire technical team is working hard, Bu Zelu is just a driver.

According to the team's engineer data and his previous internal test results, there is no problem for him to run into P3, but...

That's how it is in actual combat.

When he returned to the pit area, a group of people from the car crew were congratulating and comforting him.

Bu Zelu smiled wryly and hugged everyone. He knew very well that others treated him as a novice, and he was also a driver who came from across the border. To be able to drive such a result is already eye-catching.

But in fact, Bu Zelu, who has 'advanced driving', is still very dissatisfied with himself.

At the beginning, a junior driver was able to handle the Dakar and the Isle of Man TT, but now he has not exceeded the team's target score after being promoted to two levels in a row.

Are Mercedes cars bad?
joke!

Going back to the locker room and taking a good shower, Bu Zelu can only rest now, P3 has nothing to do with him, he needs to prepare well for the game in the afternoon.

Bu Zelu's final result in qualifying was 11th, on the sixth row of the grid.

Originally Bu Zelu wanted to continue to watch P3. After all, his teammate Rosberg could still compete for the noun, but the team asked him to go back to rest and adjust his state.

Get ready for the game at 14:00 in the afternoon.

Although the race is said to start at two o'clock in the afternoon, they will return to the team at 12:30 before that. There are celebrations before the F1 race.

This time Bu Zelu didn't return to the hotel, but went directly to the caravan in the parking lot to rest, and quickly adjusted his mood.

He is not too pretentious. For competitions, he is a rookie, and his pursuit of running F1 should not be too high. Even if the task given to him by the system is to be on the podium 5 times, it will be fine.

As long as this task is completed, it will be Huaxia No.1.

At present, Asians do not have particularly good results in F1. In terms of racing, only Dongying people have been pursuing.

The best result is Kamui Kobayashi, who won the second place in Belgium last year and got on the podium.

Moreover, at the Japanese Grand Prix last year, Kobayashi once again climbed onto the podium, which can be said to be the best result in Japanese F1.

Of course, Kobayashi's seniors Aguri Suzuki and Takuma Sato have also been on the podium.

However, Kobayashi has been kicked out by the Sauber team this year, and turned to run GP2. At present, Bu Zelu can be said to be the only Asian player in F1.

By the way, in the first practice session, his fellow countryman, Ma Qinghua, ran for 20 minutes on behalf of Caterham.

But that's all, he is now only between the third and the test driver in Caterham, and he is a paid driver just like Bu Zelu.

Two days ago, I met and had a meal together at the hotel, but as the practice match started, Bu Zelu didn't talk too much with this old man.

In the past two days, Bu Zelu has inquired more detailed information. The exact term for this guy is called a "reserve driver". In addition to being able to run the next practice, he will also participate in the Caterham GP2 race.

So I can come to Melbourne this time, ahem, you know!
In the F1 world, it doesn’t matter if you have money. This old man has 4000 sponsorships. It’s not that he can’t find more, but that other teams don’t want it.

If Ferrari wants him, it’s not impossible to get a 1 million sponsorship. In fact, the biggest fear of paying drivers like Bu Zelu is that there is no window to pay, not that they can’t pay.
