End of the Century Talented Racer

Chapter 174 Partiality?

In the previous three free practice sessions, Bingcheng showed a very good speed, taking all the fastest laps in the three quarters, while Dongsheng, who was previously predicted as the favorite to win the championship, was slightly inferior.

When the qualifying session started, the temperature of the track dropped compared to the third practice. The atmospheric temperature was 18 degrees Celsius, while the track temperature was 27 degrees Celsius.

At 21:1 BJ time, the qualifying race of the Spanish Grand Prix officially kicked off. Santak and the two Salvadoran drivers took the lead on the track. Aifan made the first effective lap of 20 minute and 623 seconds 1, and Santak immediately took the top position with 17:986, but soon, Daniel surpassed his teammate with 1:17.

Stewart and Seaver of Ice City did not make any results for the time being. Altaïr of Citroen was very slow in the first lap, but then he set a time of 1:18 to come to the third place.

Halfway through this section, Santak overtook his teammates with 1:17. Stewart and Seaver also surpassed Vettel after playing, but Stewart was still behind Santak, who was at the top of the list. 483 second time.

Tesrock then raised his ranking to fifth place. Daniel quickly made a very good lap in the next few laps. With the result of this lap, he took the top spot with 1:17, setting a new record He broke the fastest lap record on the track, which was enough for him to call it quits early in this section.

Tesrock then improved his ranking to second place, but still 0.380 seconds behind the leader.So without any controversy, Daniel finally won the fastest lap in this section, followed by Tesrock and Santak. Aifan rushed out of the track at the last moment and triggered a yellow flag. The five eliminated in this section The drivers are Alex, Diego, Adonis, Aifan and Katildan who did not play.

After the start of Q2, the two Porter drivers took the lead on the track, followed by other drivers, almost all of whom were using soft tires.

韦斯利做出了本节第一个有效单圈1分18秒045，斯图尔特随后做出了1分17秒166暂时占据榜首，但是他随后就被西维尔、桑塔克和丹尼尔陆续超越，丹尼尔以1分16秒802暂时排在榜首，领先队友桑塔克有0.269秒。

离比赛还剩下8分钟，但阿泰尔还没有做出成绩，他随后完成的第一个单圈以1分18秒100暂时排在第9位。

At this point in the race, the temperature of the track began to drop continuously. Stewart then started with super soft tires, but he did not try hard to score, which means that he will still use soft tires to start in the race.In the last 3 minutes, several drivers in the relegation zone were preparing for the final sprint.

Baxter overtook Altaïr to ninth place, also pushing Altaïr to the edge of the relegation zone, but in the end he retained his position.Daniel finally won the fastest lap in this section, followed by Santak and Silver. The five drivers eliminated in this section were Delacro, Alfredo, Gu Gaoyuan, Kendrick and Bepe accept.

Entering Q3, we locked the time to the last 12 minutes of competition. All the cars drove onto the track at the first time. Several drivers took the top position alternately. Srock has a 1-second advantage.

Daniel's first lap was not very satisfactory, he only ranked fifth, 0.764 seconds behind the leader.However, Santak made a mistake in this single lap, and his results were even more unsatisfactory. He was nearly 2 seconds behind Stewart and only ranked 7th.

Afterwards, the drivers went back to the pits to make adjustments and prepare for the final sprint. At this time, Virgil unexpectedly changed to soft tires. Surprisingly, Santak and Daniel also used this trick.

Santak then rose to second place, but Stewart further improved his time to 1:16. Daniel made some mistakes in this lap, but still made a result of 173:1, temporarily ranking first three.

In the end, Stewart won the pole position of this race, and Seaver won No.2 to help Bingcheng take the first row of the grid. Daniel and Santak ranked third and fourth respectively, followed by Tesrock , Virgil and Wesley.

Bingcheng won the game in the end, but there was a big controversy before the start of the race, that is, the tire company made a review of the tire formula in response to the problems exposed by Bingcheng and Leysen in the pre-season test. Adjustment.

Daniel publicly stated before the game that Dongsheng had been treated unfairly.Today's qualifying process undoubtedly deepened this impression. Dongsheng was unable to shake Bingcheng's advantage in Q3. It seems understandable that their two drivers gave up super soft tires and used soft tires for sprinting at the last moment. A silent protest for them.

The final qualifying results seem to have returned to the old pattern of the past few seasons. Bingcheng once again dominated the front row, the two drivers of Dongsheng occupied the second row, Leisen occupied the third row, and Altaïr, who was racing at home, In the fourth row.

Since the beginning of this season, the pattern of F1 has been very chaotic, which has made the competition more exciting. The processes of the Chinese Grand Prix and the Bahrain Grand Prix were very dramatic, which made the fans hooked. Now, the old order is in F1 It seemed like a forced comeback after returning to Europe.

Circuit de Catalunya is an old circuit with very narrow roads and few overtaking points. In the history of this circuit, the probability of converting pole position into victory is the highest among all F1 circuits.Fans originally hoped that some new elements would emerge in this year's race, but the current qualifying results seem to have stifled the possible excitement in the cradle, and it is very likely that what awaits the fans in the race will be a boring one. In the race, unless there is a safety car, it is difficult to change the position after the start. Bingcheng has a great hope of winning the championship in this race.

Of course, the Dongsheng team will definitely not give up easily. Daniel, who had already had his eyes red in the last race, should start hard and attack the two ice city drivers after the start. If the first lap race can have Some accidents happen, and that would be what Dongsheng would like to see the most.

In addition, Sunday's main race may be affected by rain, which may be good news for both Dongsheng and Leisen. Rain will definitely bring more unknowns to the game.
