590 Chapter 590 - It's Really Raining
The paddock in Monaco is no better than those formal tracks. It feels like the last time I participated in the Isle of Man TT, surrounded by other people's homes.

As for familiarity with the track, this time Buze shoes did not cost money. When I came early this time, I had already driven around the track.

For street races, everyone can use it at ordinary times. On the race day, road closures and tire walls will be added.

Today is the first practice session. Bu Zelu is no longer the rookie he was back then. Now the team’s third driver and test driver are here.

He and Rosberg's car was tested on the track.

Bu Zelu accidentally won a 4 consecutive championships, and now he is ranked first in F1, with 102 points directly taking a big step ahead of others.

Two days ago, everyone was still rushing to report on Vettel and Rosberg's five front wing incidents. Looking back, I found that Bu Zelu had already done something eye-catching.

And our 3-time defending champion, Mr. Sebastian Vettel, is now pulled a little far away, and he didn't even keep the third position.

Buze shoes 102
Raikkonen 60
Alonso 48
Vettel 41
Rosberg 38
This is the current top five points, and you must know that Alonso, Vettel and Rosberg are all one game less.

To be precise, all three of them retired from one game and did not gain any points.But even so, the results of these three people are much more outstanding than other players.

At present, 5 games have passed, and there are still a large number of people who have not won points.

In the first practice session, Bu Zelu was not as dedicated as Rosberg. He just went up and ran in the last half hour to experience the track.

I have to say that another advantage of being in Monaco is that you can have a good meal during lunch. Unlike other sub-stations, they are all in the suburbs. Here, Bu Zelu directly found a restaurant with a few people in the team Went for lunch.

At 14:00 in the afternoon, the second practice session started again. Bu Zelu cooperating with the track engineer to study the track, did not run any lap time at all.

Toto Wolff is not demanding anything about Bu Zelu's behavior, and he is not asking him to achieve any results in practice games.

During the one-and-a-half-hour free practice session, the pace was almost the whole process of paddling.

Take a day off. Monaco is not like other circuits where you can run all weekend. In fact, the first day is two practice sessions on Thursday. No, on the 25th, everyone returns to the paddock for the third practice session. race and qualifying.

After all, people usually use the highway, so the road closure for three consecutive days has had a lot of impact on the local area.

During the third practice, he was more serious about his steps, but he was still not the protagonist today.

At the end of the 30 minutes, all the drivers made timed laps. Vettel temporarily took the lead with 1:15, but Grosjean hit the protective wall again. Near the 261th and 10th turns, the Frenchman made a mistake Caused the left rear tire to blow out and had to quickly counterattack the maintenance room.

Just 24 minutes before the end, Massa lost control of the car at Turn 1 and hit the protective wall. The left side of the Ferrari F138 was seriously damaged, and the left front suspension was completely broken. Massa himself was not seriously injured. He even shoved a staff member when he stepped out of the cockpit.

Massa also ignored Smedley's radio inquiries: "Are you all right? Are you all right?"

In the 2008 race, Massa lost the championship due to a mistake in this position.

The race restarted 6 minutes after the red flag was shown to stop the race. Since the end was less than 20 minutes away, the drivers hurriedly changed to supersoft tires for the final test, but Sutil lost control and crashed at the 3rd and 4th corners. When it reached the protective fence, the front wing of the Force India VJM06 was completely destroyed, and the right side was also severely hit.

After that, Raikkonen made a mistake at Turn 5 and ran to the buffer lane, and Rosberg also lightly rubbed against the barrier at Turn 8.

With 1 minute and 20 seconds left before the end, Grosjean lost control after running over the shoulder of the road at Turn 1. His tail hit the wall and then crossed the front of the track and hit the guardrail on the other side. This caused the game to end with a red flag.

In the end, Rosberg of Mercedes secured the first place with the fastest lap of 1:14, Grosjean, who had consecutive accidents, was 378 seconds behind, and Vettel of Red Bull ranked third with 0.661:1 , Alonso, Hamilton, Raikkonen and Webber ranked four to seven.

As for Bu Zelu, his lap time ranked 13th, with so many accidents, he didn't run much at all.Simply he is safe and sound and there is no accident.

'It's raining? Bu Zelu was a bit foggy. He had just had lunch and was curiously looking at the raindrops on the glass window.

Subconsciously looking at the system backpack, he still has 16 'Battle' item cards, and he is planning to use them tomorrow.

"Is it raining?" Rosberg next to him helped Bu Zelu out.

"What are you looking at me for!" Bu Zelu rolled his eyes speechlessly.

"Why didn't you say it earlier!" Rosberg said seriously.

"I'm not omnipotent!" Bu Zelu hurriedly grabbed the drink bottle and ran away. He wanted to return to the maintenance area 'NND, why is it raining? Doesn't this make everyone prepare for tomorrow! '

Before qualifying started, sporadic light rain began to fall over Monte Carlo, and the track gradually became wet.All drivers opted for semi-wet tyres, with the exception of Felipe Massa and Grosjean who hit a wall during free practice in the morning and the team was still busy repairing their cars.

When everyone was carefully assessing the track situation, Bianchi was the first to go wrong.

Smoke came from his Marussia, ending qualifying early. Five minutes later, Weber temporarily topped the list with a time of 5:1, but due to the uncertain weather conditions, it is still unknown how the track will evolve.

Sure enough, Rosberg greatly improved his lap time with 1:32.

The track conditions continued to improve. In the last 7 minutes, Vettel had increased his lap time to 1:25.Feedback from different drivers was quite different. Alonso thought dry tires could be tried, while Webber reported to Red Bull that corners 352 to 5 were still very slippery, and semi-wet tires were still the right choice.At the same time, Bu Zelu and Raikkonen pitted successively, but Bu Zelu did not change tires in order to save rain tires.But because he won a good track position, Bu Zelu left the knockout zone and came to 8th in 1:25.

Grosjean completed the car repair at the last moment and drove onto the track, and successfully entered the top 4.Di Resta, Pique, Gutierrez, Chilton, Bianchi and Massa, who did not appear, were eliminated.

With the repeated rain at the end of the first quarter, the big cars filed out at the beginning of the second quarter, still with semi-wet tires.

Obviously, because the track conditions are unstable, all car gestures must always stick to the track to ensure that they do not miss any best opportunity.

Grosjean, who completed the task of the first quarter brilliantly, ran into trouble as soon as he came out. He almost ran out of the track at Turn 1, but fortunately he was rescued in time, but he had newer semi-wet tires than other drivers.

Rosberg, who showed an amazing advantage in free practice, is only 3 seconds ahead of his team-mate Bu Zelu, and the two Lotus drivers are temporarily at the top of the standings.

In the last 5 minutes, Van der Garde became the first driver to put on dry tires, followed by Red Bull and McLaren.

Mercedes has also joined the camp for dry tyres.

Webber was the fastest lap time among the dry tire drivers. The three fastest time periods helped the Australian temporarily top the list with 1:19, which was nearly 254 seconds faster than the semi-wet tire result. .

The next lap is another 2-second boost.

With the continuous refresh of dry tire results, Vettel's final sprint ended at 1:15 and topped the lap time list.In the end, Alonso successfully entered the top five landings from the relegation zone without any risk.Hulkenberg, Ricciardo, Grosjean, Bottas, Van der Garde and Maldonado were eliminated in the second quarter.

With the start of the third qualifying session, Bu Zelu, Rosberg and Raikkonen took the lead, and the track quickly became busy. All 10 drivers started using new supersoft tires.

Webber still quickly found the speed in the new soft tyres, 1 minute 15 seconds 134 sent Australia to the first place.

But Bu Zelu and Rosberg are still looking for the suitable working temperature of the supersoft tire at low temperature.

For this reason, Bu Zelu did not dare to be careless and only ran a flying lap, and the team let him stay on the track.

The start of the third lap is the best time for the two. With the fastest time in the first two time periods, Rosberg broke the lap time of his teammates with 1:14 and climbed to the top of the list. Bu Zelu fell behind by 333 Second.

Halfway through the third quarter, the cars returned to the field to change tires for the final sprint. At this time, it seemed that the maintenance area started to rain again.Webber and Vettel refreshed the results of the first timing point successively. Firstly, Webber refreshed his teammates' results with 1:14, but Mercedes obviously had more stamina. Rosberg set a difficult time with 181:1 The benchmark, beat Webber by 13 seconds and won the pole position.In the last lap, Webber made a mistake at the second timing point and lost his competitiveness, while Vettel was unable to catch up with Mercedes at the third timing point, so he could only settle for second.However, he and Rosberg are the only drivers who broke through 876 minute and 0.1 seconds today.

Finally today's qualifying results came out, Rosberg was on pole and Vettel was second. After the last race, the two became enemies again and started at the top of the grid.

Webber is third and Bu Zelu is fourth. Today is the most direct duel between Mercedes and Red Bull.

Raikkonen fifth, Alonso sixth, followed by Hamilton, Sutil, Button and Toro Rosso's Vergne.

The end of qualifying gave Bu Zelu a bit of a headache. Now everyone has rainy weather debugging. Even if it rains tomorrow, everyone doesn't need to change too much on the car.

This time Mercedes couldn't take much advantage. In addition, it rained for six consecutive races, so all the teams have established good data collection.
