End of the Century Talented Racer

Chapter 186 Frequent occurrence
Kendrick is playing at home in this station, and he is very eager to have a good performance. The game is coming to an end, and he is accelerating at full speed, but Katildan in front of him is slow when he exits the tunnel. Kendrick tries to dodge, But the two inevitably collided, and Kendrick's car almost flew.After the race, Kendrick explained the cause of the crash: "A few laps before the crash, I felt that the brake pedal became unstable. I didn't expect an accident to happen shortly afterwards, but I think we performed very well all weekend. positive."

However, Dongsheng and Bingcheng did not show their due competitiveness on this site, which is indeed a bit disappointing.

Monaco Grand Prix is ​​a traditional street race. For most drivers, this place is quite familiar with the characteristics of the track. It is not easy to overtake here, and drivers are not allowed to have any accidents during the race. mistake.Leysin's Tesrock missed qualifying precisely because of a mistake in Saturday's third free practice that required repairs.

A good starting position is very important in Monaco, and after the whole weekend, Leysin's car has absolute dominance in Monte Carlo.This is known as the "slowest" race in the F1 schedule. The requirements for the car's power are relatively low. Relatively speaking, the role of the aerodynamic kit is more important, and this is the strength of the Leysin racing car. Therefore, they originally The strength of the weekend is also to be expected.

The race is long. From the perspective of the overall speed of the car, Dongsheng and Bingcheng should still have an advantage over Leisen, but judging from the scene of the race, Vergil easily widened the gap with Daniel from the beginning, and Stuart even Couldn't keep up with the pace of the first two riders.Even though Virgil said that the power of the car was lacking and Daniel had caught up with his opponent, there was still no way to overtake him.It can be said that whether it is Dongsheng or Bingcheng, this station has been beaten by Leisen without temper.Look at Tesrock, who started last, he can still perform a lot of overtaking actions on this track.

Although this stop was a defeat for Dongsheng and Bingcheng, thankfully, they are still the team leading the standings, and all four of their drivers have also gained points.But Bingcheng only got third and fifth, while Dongsheng was second and fourth, so the points gap between the two sides was narrowed to 22 points.

Fortunately, there is only one Monaco race in the F1 race. In the next race, Bingcheng and Dongsheng can still easily give play to their overall speed advantage, especially the next Canadian race is a classic high-speed track , I believe that the two top teams can find their sense in time there.

"I have waited for this opportunity for two years, not to prove that I am better than others, but to prove that what I have lost, I must regain." For Virgil on this site, it seems to be perfect.

In the previous year's Monaco Grand Prix, Vergil, who started from pole position, lost a lot of time because the team technicians failed to prepare the tires when he pitted, thus ceding the championship to Stewart.This year, Leysin Racing has more obvious advantage in Monte Carlo. From free practice to qualifying, the gap between Bingcheng and Leysin is more than 0.2 seconds.This time, Vergil did not let the tragedy repeat itself, and made up for the regret two years ago with a textbook-style "pole position win".

But in fact, Vergil encountered a lot of trouble at the beginning of the race.According to the introduction of the team leader after the race, the starting motor unit of Ricardo's car was damaged from the 18th lap, and only 6 gears of the gearbox were available.This is why the team leader dared to compare Vergil with the famous drivers before.

However, it is worth mentioning that considering the different characteristics of the two tracks, Monte Carlo is "easy to defend but difficult to attack". Team leader Lesson's metaphor is not very appropriate, but there is still no doubt about Virgil's outstanding performance in this station.With 25 points from this site, Virgil has further improved its ranking in the standings.If it were not for his withdrawal in Bahrain, it would have been entirely possible for him to form a rivalry with Daniel and others.

In addition, it must be mentioned that Vergil's contract for next season is still pending.According to a recent news from a well-known media, Vergil still has the possibility of joining Dongsheng.In fact, no matter whether he stays at Layson and continues to partner with Tesrock; or switches to Dongsheng and becomes teammates with Daniel again, Vergil will not fall behind in terms of competition.And so far, the performance of winning the two championships will undoubtedly help him add a lot of bargaining chips in the future negotiation process.

Although Vergil helped Leysen win the second championship of this year, because of Tesrock's mistake, Leysen felt bittersweet, because if Verstappen didn't make a mistake on Saturday.

As far as starting from the last place alone, Tesrock chased No.9 with fierce overtaking, got points, and completed the task of "loss control" to the maximum extent.However, in terms of the competitiveness of Leysin Racing in Monaco, especially the result of Vergil's victory, Tesrock's results were not even up to the average level.

At the end of the final practice session before qualifying on Saturday, Tesrock's name was second on the lap time, just 0.001 seconds behind teammate Virgil.However, he didn't have a chance to compete for pole position, because he hit the wall at the famous "pool corner" for the second time in three years, three minutes before the end of practice, and the line and angle were exactly the same.With the car unable to be repaired in time, he could only sit on the sidelines in qualifying, watching his team-mate dominate the pole position at a dominant speed, and he could only start last on Sunday.

Not surprisingly, Tesrock chased forward with the "maximum attack" from the start, and reached tenth on the 23rd lap.However, because most of the time the track was peaceful, even if the car was fast, he could not go any further.After changing tires, he dropped to 11th.Fortunately, Altaïr's retirement allowed him to enter the last position in the scoring area.Although the action of overtaking Baxter at the tenth turn was somewhat controversial, it was not really against the rules. The race stewards just asked the team to warn him to be more disciplined when overtaking next time, so that he could keep the points and finish the race.

However, Teslock has been involved in many accidents just at the beginning of this season, which is obviously not a good thing for Lathan. He spun in Australia, causing his ranking to drop.He crashed in the first qualifying session in Bahrain and was eliminated early, and then collided with Stewart during the race.
