End of the Century Talented Racer

Chapter 193

However, FP1 was interrupted less than 30 minutes later. Alex's car suffered a power failure and was forced to stop at Turn 11.The racing team was the first to "send out" a virtual safety car, but because Alex was unable to start the car, the racing team was forced to raise a red flag to allow staff to clear the track.Due to the upgrade of the engine, it is not yet certain whether the car failure was caused by the newly replaced power unit components.

红旗在大约10分钟后解除，FP1也在各支车队向轮胎供应商归还首套轮胎后进入“下半场”。在接下来的20分钟里，特斯洛克使用最软胎做出1分13秒389的成绩占据榜首。而冰城车队表现出色，使用极软胎的斯图尔特与西维尔排名第二与第三。

Tire suppliers continued to use a mix of softest, ultrasoft and supersoft tires this weekend.However, since the tire wear on the Gilles Villeneuve circuit is greater than that in Monaco, the wear speed of each tire becomes the key.And each team also began to test the "life" of the tires early.

余下的三10分钟里，特斯洛克将自己的成绩提高到了1分13秒302。但值得注意的是使用极软胎的斯图尔特很快就将差距缩小。卫冕冠军1分13秒390的圈速让自己仅落后特斯洛克0.088秒。考虑到极软胎与最软胎之间将近1秒的圈速差距，冰城在FP1表现十分强势。

来到加拿大，萨尔瓦多车队继续着2102赛季的挣扎。亚度尼斯与阿艾凡仅列第17与第18，且两人都在最后半小时出现失误。后者在FP1还剩27分钟时在14号弯擦到了“冠军墙”，右后轮因此爆胎。亚度尼斯则在一练即将结束时在7号弯犯错打转。

In the afternoon, Monaco Grand Prix winner Vergeire encountered a malfunction in the car's intelligent system during practice.Virgil was forced to lose a lot of practice time and did not return to the track until the final stage of FP2.The Leyssen driver ended up in third place 0.405 seconds behind his teammate.

Due to the car's inability to adapt to the softest tires, the Bingcheng team only chose 5 sets of "pink tires" this weekend.This also caused Bingcheng to still fail to show its softest tire sprint speed in FP2.Stewart and Seaver finished fourth and sixth respectively.The two who still had reservations made their fastest laps with only supersoft tires and ultrasoft tires respectively.

Daniel also suffered from racing failures.In the end, the Dongsheng driver missed the first half of the FP2 test time.

在FP1中表现一般的伊斯特尔在FP2夺下“中游榜首”的位置。波特车手1分13秒620的圈速落后特斯洛克0.422秒获得第七。同样表现优异的还有奥德梅特，张悦与错过FP1的贝佩纳排名第八、第九位。

巴克斯特和德拉克罗成为两位在FP2犯错的车手。巴克斯特在FP2进行至30分钟时在6、7号连续弯打转后撞墙。荅骄车手成功将赛车驶回赛道，但由于赛道碎片过多，赛会不得不出示红旗清理赛道。

Delacro's accident occurred with only 2 minutes left in FP30.Delacro damaged his suspension after hitting a wall at Turn 9 and parked the damaged Citro at Turn 11.Practice has thus been affected by the Virtual Safety Car.

The El Salvador team continued their struggles in FP1.A Aifan, who is playing at home, and his teammate Adonis ranked 19th and 20th respectively.

Even after leaving the streets of Monaco, the strength of the Leysin team has no intention of ending. In the first two free practice sessions of the F1 Canadian Grand Prix, Tesrock took all the fastest laps. Admit it", they all admitted that Leisen is the biggest favorite to win the championship this weekend.

In the last Monaco Grand Prix, Vergil easily brought back the championship by driving a broken car, which made people vaguely see the demeanor of their driving car back then. At that time, Stewart and Daniel were a little unconvinced, thinking that Monaco It is really impossible to overtake on the streets. Once you leave here, Leysen will no longer have such a strong competitiveness.

However, after coming to Montreal, the Leysin team, which has upgraded its engine, continued to perform strongly. The teenager Tesrock, who had a crash accident in the last race, won the fastest lap twice in a row. Up front, and Virgil also received good news today - Leysen confirmed that he will not be penalized for replacing the power unit kit this weekend, although his engine quota is close to the critical value.

Daniel admitted after the game that Leysen is the biggest favorite to win the championship this weekend: "I think this race will be the same as other races, the competition is very fierce, and Layson seems to be leading a little bit at the moment. They performed better than other teams in Monaco. Better tire management, and this can also play a role here. The Montreal circuit is also very different from other circuits, with a very unique layout. I believe the race will be similar to the last one. I hope Dongsheng will also to be in the front row."

Daniel even said that his performance this weekend may not be as good as his teammate Santak: "Today's practice session was a bit chaotic, and I didn't feel very good sitting in the car, but if we can combine everything well, then our lap There will be an improvement in speed. We are not the favorites this weekend, and I think Santak will feel better than me. Anyway, let's see how tomorrow goes."

Ice City gave up on upgrading the car this weekend due to quality and safety reasons, which left Stewart a little disappointed. He bluntly said that it was difficult to make any difference in this weekend's race by relying on the old parts: "This is a track that relies very much on speed. Track, originally upgrading the car was our goal for this weekend, the guys worked really hard, but due to some quality reasons we had to postpone the upgrade for the time being, and I think that decision was reasonable. It means that our car this weekend is probably Not the best, now our first goal is to finish the race smoothly, I believe Dongsheng and Laisen will be very strong this weekend, especially on the straights, because they have upgraded their cars, which will allow them to get more speed."

However, the Leysin team seemed very calm in response to the compliments from its competitors. Vergil said after the game that Ice City’s results here in the past few years speak for themselves, and it will be very difficult to beat them on this track. .

Although Leysin Racing Team is in the lead, the two drivers believe that Ice City still has reservations.

Vergil's teammate Tesrock took the lead in the first and second free practice sessions of the Canadian Grand Prix.However, since Bingcheng has not yet used the softest tires, the current absolute speed of Bingcheng is unknown.After free practice, Virgil believes that people can explore the true strength of Bingcheng from the results made by Bingcheng using the harder formula.

"I think Bingcheng is very fast today, even if they use a harder formula, they are still very fast. From now on, they will be very difficult to beat, but we still have hope for improvement."

"I guess our main opponent is Dongsheng. Although it is too early to make a prediction, I think Bingcheng will be very fast in qualifying."

At the same time, Teslock said that since his car has not been fully upgraded, it is difficult to say the specific ranking.

Two-time world champion Altaïr is about to usher in his two Grand Prix weekends this weekend.Looking back on his career, Altaïr, who has struggled with the competitiveness of Citroen racing in recent years, said he is one of the best drivers in F2 history.

"I'm one of the best drivers in the history of F1. I may not be the most capable on a single lap, or the best in the wet, but I score high on all the criteria."

The FIA ​​added a third DRS zone this weekend to help increase overtaking opportunities.This is the second time that F1 has had a 3DRS zone since the opening Chinese Grand Prix.Talking about the impact of this change, Oddmet driver Bepena believes that the change can increase overtaking.

"I think being able to increase overtaking would help. Such a wide car with such wide tires makes it difficult to follow and overtake. So I hope the third section of the DRS zone will bring more overtaking opportunities."

Since Bingcheng was able to match the lap time on the softest tire Laysin in FP1 and FP2 using the ultrasoft tire, many people think that Bingcheng will dominate the fastest lap this weekend.But after putting on the softest tire, Bingcheng did not enter the expected lap time rule.Stewart was fourth 0.107 seconds behind and Seaver was sixth.Vergil, who has always been behind Tesrock this weekend, is fifth.

第三次自由练习开始时，东生率先驶上赛道进行冲刺圈模拟。丹尼尔与桑塔克使用最软胎占据前两位，而冰城与莱森直到FP3开始后大约15分钟才驶离维修区。此时冰城继续“保存”本周末仅有的五套最软胎，斯图尔特也延续了FP1与FP2中的上佳表现。卫冕冠军使用极软胎做出1分12秒301，仅落后丹尼尔0.066秒排在第二。同样使用“紫胎”的特斯洛克、西维尔和弗吉尔分列第四至第六。

Entering the last half hour, Bingcheng finally put on the softest tires and tried to sprint for the first time.But Ice City did not top the list as its opponents predicted.Stewart's first sprint lap on the softest tire saw him finish fourth, while Seaver was even sixth.Although the former was once close to the top of the list, it was quickly surpassed by its opponents.The Leysin team also switched to the softest tires at this time, and Teslok also set a new fastest lap time in the final stage with a time of 1 minute 11 seconds 599.

In terms of the mid-range camp, Zhang Yue continued the previous state.The young Thunder driver finished seventh in 1:12, 903 seconds behind Tesrock.
