Chapter 706 706-
As for our Rosberg, not to mention the change from semi-wet tires to full-wet tires, which delayed a melee, but he was punished, and he will be ranked 13th.

Webber, who also uses semi-wet tires, has returned to the second position.

Rosberg and Grosjean are simply difficult brothers.

Bu Zexi, who had completed the tire change, continued to lead after the tires reached the working temperature, and the team asked him to continue to increase the distance from the car behind.

Whether or not he gets out of the safety car, he needs to maintain his advantage. The team will choose whether to let him pit or not according to the opponent's situation.

Because just running like this, the tire gap between Vettel and Bize is only one lap. If you want to catch up with the leader Bize, Vettel has a distance of more than 8 seconds.

In addition, there was Weber blocking him in front of him.

On lap 28, Vettel caught up to within one second of Webber, and on the same lap, Webber let Vettel go without any resistance.

At this time, the gap between Vettel and Bu Zelu has expanded to 10.2 seconds.

Overtaking still had some impact on Vettel, allowing Bu Zelu to run a little further.

The 10-second gap is not something that can be caught up with one punch and two laps, even if Vettel has a very wide field of vision in front of him.

On lap 35, Webb chose to pit for the second time, and his set of all-wet tires could no longer hold up.On the same lap, Rosberg, who had already caught up to ninth, also chose to pit.

On lap 40, just as Bu Zelu had just passed the entrance to the maintenance area, Red Bull Racing suddenly recalled Vettel.

Vettel in!
This time Mercedes was in a mess, with only 12 laps left in the race.

Being stuck in such a time period made the Mercedes team very entangled.

Although Bu Zelu was closed by Vettel before, he still maintained a gap of 3.1 seconds. This was not because his car was fast, but because Vettel deliberately kept a certain distance from him.

"joye, how is your tire condition?" Just after rushing through the consecutive slow corners of No. 3, 4, and 5, the TR in the headset rang.

"Good, I can last until the end of the race." Bu Zelu glanced at the data on the steering wheel, plus he has been running with tire protection, trying not to roll the road shoulders, saving a lot of tires.

"Sebastian's in, keep TR, we're counting." Beyer's quick notification pace.

"receive."

'A pit stop? Bu Zelu frowned, but immediately focused on the race, he didn't have time to care about these things, and at a speed of 200km, any distraction might rush off the track.

The rest is left to the team to calculate.

Mercedes is indeed calculating Bu Zelu's lap times, and also analyzing Vettel's lap times a dozen laps ago.

Because more than a dozen laps ago, Vettel put on brand-new full-wet tires at that time. Only by comparing the lap times can he know the speed of the new set of tires just changed.

A simple conversion between hatchbacks will tell you how many laps Vettel can catch up to or even overtake.

The difference between the speed of new tires and the speed of old tires is about 1 second.

To put it simply, if one second is chased per lap, Vettel can catch up with Bu Zelu with 1 laps left. You must know that with every additional lap, Bu Zelu's tires will consume a little more.

His lap times were steadily dropping, and Vettel's tires would fade after at least a dozen laps, when the race was over.

After Vettel left the station, he was 28.5 seconds away from Bu Zelu.

But the gap was false, even though he made a perfect stop, taking just 24 seconds.

Vettel started his first flying lap after changing tires.

But the good news is that even with the flying lap, the timer of the three stages did not show that Vettel was the fastest lap on the track.

After crossing the starting line, Vettel started the first timed lap.

"Alonso doesn't know how many laps he can block." Toto Wolff cared about Ferrari instead.

After all, Vettel still lost time after leaving the station. He has already fallen to the fourth position at this time. If he is slower, he will fall behind Raikkonen.

That situation is definitely not what Red Bull wants to see.

It's just more than a Ferrari. Although there is Weber in front of him, it's not a problem at all, and it can be done with an easy pass.

So being able to surpass Alonso as soon as possible is what Vettel needs to care about.

On lap 42, Vettel finally passed Alonso through DRS.

The celebration on Mercedes' technical stage was not as intense as that of Red Bull, but Alonso blocked Vettel at least for a lap, which is already considered good.

"It would be great if we can block two laps." Toto Wolff felt a little pity. According to the team's calculation, as long as two laps are wasted, let alone overtaking.

Can't even get close.

"BOX, BOX, BOX!" Mercedes suddenly shouted inside the TR.

Red Bull was also nervous. Do they have to make a pit stop even though they are so slow?

Not only Red Bull, but Ferrari are also very nervous, maybe they can pick up a championship and come back.

It is a pity that Rosberg pitted, and the team calculated that Rosberg pitting now will gain one or two positions at the end of the race.

It is true that Rosberg's position at this time is a bit uneven, and he happens to be in the 13th position. At least he needs to get points back.

In addition, he was just pulled out a pit window from the car behind.

More importantly, Rosberg can come to the front of Bu Zelu after leaving the station.

Yes, this is the maximum advantage of the team's choice. Since you can't get special through close combat, you can gain an advantage on the track.

Rosberg was a slow car. According to the calculations of the team, when Bu Zelu caught up with Rosberg, he happened to be in the second DRS area.

Bu Zelu ran so leisurely in front alone, after passing a few slow cars, he couldn't get to the village or shop at all.

When the two Mercedes cars converged in the second section of the DRS area, all the teams reacted.

The advantage of 1 second is also an advantage.

Rosberg's ranking is just not good, but it doesn't mean that his car is slow. Bu Zelu used DRS to expand his advantage again, and Rosberg's handover was also quite straightforward.

And according to the rules, Rosberg belongs to the car of the ring, and he has to let it go.

"Damn slow train!" Toto Wolff thought of allowing Rosberg to enter the station and increase the speed of Bu Zelu.

However, passing Rosberg in steps means that he will also be caught in the slow train of the mid-range team.

Rosberg followed closely behind the pacing car. Although there was no DRS, there was some slippage, and he still had new tires.

"He's stuck in a slow train! This is our opportunity!" Red Bull had already reached this point, and it was officially because of this that they chose to let Vettel pit.

The leading advantage seems to be great, but Bu Zelu must lose a lot of time if he wants to go to the super-slow car formation. Even Vettel will have to pass the slow-car formation after a while.

Mercedes wants to gain some advantages for both cars, and Red Bull is betting on the championship position, otherwise Vettel will be second after chasing to the end.

On lap 46, Bu Zelu finally passed the slow car formation of the Zhongyou team, and so far only 5 cars have not been lapped by him.

And Massa just overtook the nearest slow car.

As for Raikkonen in front, he is far away, 12 seconds away from him.

On lap 48, Vettel also completed the experience of passing the slow car formation, and at this time he returned to the second position again.

On lap 49, Vettel was only 5 seconds behind.

"Why are they so fast, chasing for two seconds?" Toto Wolfe was a little unbelievable.

"This track has too much advantage for them." Niki Lauda looked at the lap meter comparison at this time. Vettel was not only two seconds faster, but 2.6 seconds.

If this continues, Vettel will be able to surpass Bu Zelu in two more laps.

"Is joye still in cruise mode?" Toto Wolfe glanced at the data sheet.

"No, overtaking mode, but he still maintains the running method of protecting the tire." Niki Lauda shook his head.

"Bayer, please inform Joye at any time. Tell him immediately if you are 3 seconds away." Toto Wolff quickly informed through the team's TR.

"The decisive victory should be on the last lap." Niki Lauda looked at the lap time comparison.

Vettel could already see the rising mist ahead.

On lap 50, Vettel once again shortened the distance with the Buze shoes. At this time, he was already 3.3 seconds away, and even the visor on Vettel's helmet could splash the water raised by the car in front.

Suddenly, Vettel felt that the distance between Bu Zelu and the car seemed to be widened.

"How far am I from him?" Vettel suddenly contacted the team.

"In the second stage, Joye improved by 0.5 seconds compared to the previous lap. We still have a chance. He was running tire-protection before, and you just beat the lap time of the first stage."

"receive."

On the other side, Mercedes was also very nervous. Vettel once again set a purple lap time in the first stage, but his pace was obviously faster in the second stage.

'MD, chasing so closely, I'm going to die! ' Bu Zelu could already see Vettel's car from the rearview mirror.

Now he didn't dare to run on the tire, but started to use the shoulder of the road to increase his speed more and get rid of unnecessary deceleration.

Fighting, in fact, Bu Zelu and Vettel have already fallen into a fight.

After running through the second stage, Bu Zelu did not draw some distance from Vettel, but shortened it to 2.5 seconds.

Bu Zexue is speeding up, but Vettel is not slow, especially in the second stage, there are still many corners at low and medium speeds.

In the third stage, Bu Zelu's speed increased instead.Because after the 14th turn, there are two rather long straights, and Mercedes' engine exploded instantly.

After passing the false corner of No. 16, and the last two corners of No. 17 and No. 18, Bu Zelu rushed into the main straight of the starting area.

The two cars crossed the line one after another, and the latest lap times were compared.

3.3 seconds.

On lap 51, Bu Zelu entered the first turn, but at the end of his vision, he saw a rising mist.

"Bayer, how many seconds is left for the car in front of me." Bu Zelu hurriedly asked.

"Webber and Alonso, they are only three seconds away from you."

'local? ' Bu Zelu couldn't believe it.
