End of the Century Talented Racer

Chapter 194 Soon

Errors gradually decreased as track grip increased. In FP3, Baxter was the only one to rush off the track.However, the snowboard drivers quickly returned to the track, and the competition only issued a yellow flag to remind other drivers.

随后F1加拿大大奖赛排位赛在蒙特利尔结束，最终丹尼尔做出破纪录的1分10秒764以0.093秒的微弱优势力压西维尔拿下杆位。丹尼尔的杆位让东生结束了在吉尔-维伦纽夫赛道长达数年的杆位荒。排位赛中表现出色的西维尔屈居第二，成功帮助冰城连续6年在蒙特利尔夺下头排发车位。

Tesrock, who took the No.1 free practice in all three quarters, was faster than Daniel in the final sprint lap of Q3, but he was no match for the upgraded Dongsheng, and fell behind his opponent in the final timing segment including the big straight.Teslock ultimately finished third.Stewart made repeated mistakes at hairpin turns and finished fourth 0.232 seconds behind Daniel.

After the first sprint lap of Q3, Santak once ranked fourth, but the Dongsheng driver made a mistake in the second sprint lap and ran big at the second corner.Santak, who was eventually forced to give up the sprint lap, will start fifth.Vergil finished sixth 0.020 seconds behind Santak.

Tire tactics will become the decisive factor in the confrontation between the three major teams in the first stage of the race.Because the Leisen team did not use the ultra-soft tires to achieve the fastest Q2 results like Dongsheng and Bingcheng, which means that Tesrock and Vergil will use the softest tires to start in the race.Considering the rapid wear of the "powder tires", the Leysin team may be at a tactical disadvantage.

Thunder and Yinhua competed for the position of "No. 3 in the middle reaches" in Q[-].In the end, Zhang Yue beat Gu Gaoyuan to win the seventh best ranking in the middle reaches.Baxter and Bepena ranked ninth and tenth respectively.

This weekend, the teams that brought upgrades like Dongsheng and Jiaojiao all showed some progress.Katildan finished 12th for the Leysin second team.However, Catildan's teammate Alfredo had to switch to an older version of the power unit before qualifying due to a component failure, and ultimately ranked 16th.

Although the car was upgraded this weekend, the Citroen team failed to improve its performance.Altaïr and Ballester only ranked 14th and 15th.

Aifan and his teammate Adonis, who played at home, ranked 17th and 18th, continuing the struggle of the El Salvador team in the 2102 season.

Easter, who has not scored points so far this season, suffered bad luck in qualifying.The Porter driver's car's engine failed at the start of Q1.Easter, who had to forego qualifying before even getting out of the pit lane, will be forced to start from the bottom.

Dongsheng driver Daniel beat Seaver and Tesrock by 0.1 seconds in the qualifying race of the Canadian Grand Prix to take pole position.He said that he has successfully done his job today, but there is still room for improvement in the final flight circle.Daniel also said that his car was not in good condition yesterday, and it was the hard work of the team that allowed the car to recover on Saturday.

"Yesterday our car was in trouble. I was not happy with the condition of the car and couldn't make the laps and rhythms I wanted. Today I suddenly entered the state. The condition of the car is unbelievable, and every lap seems to be able to Going faster. I had a little bit of a miss on my last flying lap today, or I could have been faster."

Tesrock dominated the lap time charts in three free practice sessions, and Tesrock was quite pleased with his qualifying position just 0.17 seconds behind Daniel in third.In an interview after the race, he couldn't hide his joy, and said that tomorrow's Leysen Racing can compete with Dongsheng and Bingcheng.

"I'm very happy to see the speed we've had this weekend. The speed of our car in qualifying was just due to the lack of power in the big straight, and third is the best we can imagine. We'll start with the softest On such a track with a low grip coefficient, we may have a greater advantage."

Porter driver Easter suffered an engine explosion problem at the beginning of qualifying. Easter, who has not scored a point this season, even hit an unidentified animal on the track in practice on Friday. severely damaged the car.Regarding the continuous bad luck, Easter said that he could only keep smiling and strive for a breakthrough in the race.

"I'm saving my character for next season and next season. It's hard for me to accept this kind of bad luck one after another. I can only sit in the cockpit and smile wryly when the engine blows, because other than that, I There is no other way. The only positive is that our car has been upgraded to be faster and we believe we are the fastest car behind the top three teams."

Leysin driver Alfredo suffered engine problems during Saturday morning practice, so the team played it safe and replaced Alfredo's parts with the old version.The new upgrade was confirmed by Hartley to be "fast and good", and he used the new upgrade to beat his team-mate in Canadian qualifying, and will eventually start from 12th.

"I had a problem with the car in the third practice, because the car was an upgraded version, so I lost some speed after switching back to the old parts. Canada is a track that depends on speed, which made me feel at a loss in qualifying. , unfortunately I missed the second qualifying session by a very small gap."

Citro's two cars were eliminated in Q2, but both drivers performed very well in Friday's practice session.The lap time difference between Altaïr and Delacro was only a hundredth of a second, and they were behind the second team of Leysin and Ruijin.For this reason, Delacro believes that the performance of the car is very strange on this track, and the team thought it could reach Q3.

"Our car wasn't competitive at all, which is a very strange thing. We had a very good car yesterday in practice two, and we put up a good lap time without using the softest tyres. So, Our aim was to get into Q3 today, but I realized right from the start of qualifying that the car was not in shape and that disappointed me."

Both Dongsheng Racing Team and Daniel thought before the race that Leysen would use extremely soft tire brushes in Q2 in order to have better starting tires in tomorrow's race.But in fact, Laisen didn't try this strategy at all. Instead, Dongsheng and Bingcheng made a failed attempt.

"I didn't have a problem with the ultrasoft and we had a short test to see if that strategy would work. It was acceptable for me to start on the softest tire, which is a strategy our strategy team wanted, but in the end The soft tires are not a very good set of tires for racing, I am surprised that the two Leysens cars will also use the softest tires for Q2 today."

On a high-speed track like Montreal, Dongsheng's speed is obviously higher than that of Leysin, which makes them dominate the championship. Daniel is very hopeful to narrow the points gap with his opponent after the race.Another Dongsheng driver, Santak, made a mistake in the speeding lap of Q3 and ended up only ranking fifth. What kind of race tactics Dongsheng will arrange for him deserves attention.

Tesrock of the Leysin Racing Team ranked third in qualifying. He will once again become a "time bomb" at the start stage. Daniel is starting in front of him. A little carelessness of Tesrock may cause chaos—— Of course, this is what Stuart is willing to see.However, Vergil, who won the championship in the last race, performed mediocre in qualifying and only finished 6th in the end. It will be difficult to continue to be on the podium in this race.

Montreal is a high-speed track. This year, a new DRS zone was specially added to increase overtaking. This means that the race will definitely not be as boring as the last race, the Monaco Grand Prix. There will be more overtaking scenes in the race.In addition to the three major teams, the current speeds of Lijiao, Salvador and Porter are very close, and the competition among the mid-stream groups will also be very fierce. What is disappointing is the Citroen team. Both of their drivers stopped in Q2 today. Thiel ended his streak of scoring in the last game, and this game may continue this trend.

Montreal can be called Stewart's blessed land. He has won the championship here many times before. If he wins again, he will tie with Maison and become the driver with the most championships in this race.However, the race in Ice City had a bad start. Their planned upgrade work was postponed due to quality and safety reasons, which forced the team to use the old version of the car. Stewart's performance in today's race was mediocre, and he only won No.4 in the end.

After the race, Stewart admitted that Dongsheng's performance today was even better: "This is a very difficult qualifying race. Yesterday we had good speed in the long distance, but today's few laps were not perfect. Compared with Dongsheng today Do better, that's the way it is, we can only expect better performances in the race."

Teammate Xi Weier, who won No.2, also said that Dongsheng looks really strong: "Dongsheng's speed is really good, but we didn't fall behind too much. In any case, it is quite good to be able to start in the front row. Let us Let's see what happens tomorrow. There are a lot of overtaking opportunities here, so anything can happen."

Teslock had ranked first in all three previous free practice sessions. His performance was very stable in today's qualifying session, and he finally finished No. 3.However, it is worth noting that the two Leysin drivers used the softest tires in Q2, which means that they will start with softer tires in the race. For such a strategy, Daniel expressed some confusion.

But Tesrock is full of confidence in this: "I am quite satisfied with our performance so far this week. The car is very good, but our absolute speed is still quite lacking. No.3 is a good result for us , which means we have a lot to do in the race. I think it's also an advantage that we start here on the softer tires because the track is slippery."
