End of the Century Talented Racer

Chapter 195 As expected
Virgil, who won the championship in the last race, only got No.6 today. He also believes that starting with the softest tires may be an advantage for the team: "No.6 is not a satisfactory result, but I I feel like I have improved a lot in qualifying compared to practice. I thought I should have done a better lap time, but I ended up in sixth place. We started on the softest tyres, because we I think we can manage a little bit better, we need to overtake at the start and I think the softest tires give us more chances."

Altaïr stopped the momentum of consecutive scoring in the last race. Their performance in today's qualifying is still not good. Both drivers stopped in Q2. It will be more difficult to get points in this race.After the race, Altaïr said that he did not know why the car was completely uncompetitive: "We knew it would be a very difficult track for us. Today we were completely uncompetitive. In fact, in the previous practice session we Just noticed that, and then even more so in qualifying, it's hard to explain why, but we know we have to improve. It's really disappointing today, but the race is tomorrow and we have to Give it your all."

The temperature in Montreal on Sunday was 20 degrees Celsius, and the track temperature was 40 degrees Celsius. The temperature is suitable, but the track temperature is low.

With the five lights in the starting area going out, the Canadian Grand Prix of the 2102 F1 World Formula One race officially started.There was a major accident at the 5th corner just after the start. Aifan of the Salvador team collided with Katildan of the second team of Leysin in the competition. After getting on the protective barrier, the car was damaged and both of them retired. The game will show a yellow flag and dispatch a safety car.In terms of position, in the face of the attack from Tesrock, Seaver, who was ranked second at the start, firmly defended the inside line and kept his position.But Santak was occupied by Virgil, who started 2th, and was successfully overtaken by Virgil, losing the 6th position.

On the 4th lap, the safety car had just left the track to resume the race. Bepena of the Salvador team was rubbing against Baxter. Bepena was directly pushed out of the track. Fortunately, he stabilized the car and returned to the track. From 10th to 13th.Daniel, who is temporarily ranked first, keeps refreshing his lap time, trying to widen the distance with Seaver, and ensure the safety of his first pit stop.

On lap 17, Stewart and Tesrock pitted for the first time at the same time, and they also changed their tires to supersoft tires at the same time.After leaving the station, Tesrock ranked ahead of Stewart, temporarily ranked 5th and 6th to continue the race.

On lap 18, Vergil pitted and replaced the softest tire with a supersoft tire to continue the race.After leaving the station, he was temporarily ranked fifth after his teammate Tesrock.Daniel refreshed the fastest lap and continued to lead.

On lap 33, Santak stopped for the first time and used the ultra-soft tires for 33 laps before switching to super-soft tires.After exiting the station, he almost passed Stewart who was blocked by a slower train.

On lap 37, Seaver pitted and replaced the ultrasoft tires with supersoft tires after 38 laps.Daniel also pitted on lap 38. He used the supersoft tire for 39 laps before switching to the supersoft tire to continue the race.It was also the only pit stop for their 1-stop strategy.

On the 42nd lap, Altaïr's car was in danger of cylinder explosion, so he directly slowed down and drove back to the pit lane to end the race.These are Altaïr's two F2 Grand Prix races, but unfortunately, Altaïr retired from the last Monaco Grand Prix due to engine failure. This time he encountered another problem with the racing engine. It can be said that "misfortunes never come singly."

In the end, Daniel of Dongsheng Racing Team was the first to cross the line and won the 1 F28 World Formula One Canadian Grand Prix with a total time of 31 hour, 377 minutes, 2102 seconds and 1 seconds. Seaver of Ice City Racing Team ranked second. , Tesrock of the Leysin Racing Team ranked third, followed by Vergil, Stewart and Zhang Yue.Altaïr, A Aifan and Katildan retired with regret.

This championship is also the 1th race championship in Daniel's F50 career. It is not easy to lead all the way until the final crossing line!
After the game, Daniel said that the upgrade of the car was the main reason for Dongsheng's victory in this race: "We struggled a lot in Friday's practice session, but then gradually found the feeling. Today's game is perfect. We will prepare for this weekend's game. There are a lot of upgrades, which is obvious to us on this track, thanks to the hard work of everyone in the team, this championship is the result of everyone's mutual cooperation."

At present, Daniel has narrowed the gap in the driver standings by a lot, but he thinks it is far from the time to celebrate: "This is indeed a perfect race, the process is unbelievable, winning here is very important for Dongsheng. It means a lot, because the team hasn't won here for a long time; and for me, it's my 50th win, and it puts me back in the lead, but it's still a long season, so I don't pay too much attention to the standings, I'm just happy and proud of today's victory."

Santak won No.5 in qualifying, but he lost a position after starting today. In the subsequent race, Santak seemed more than stable but not aggressive enough, and finally only brought back a No.7.Santak seemed a little helpless about this: "For me, this was not the most ideal result at the time. Our car has been greatly improved. Daniel has done a very good job today, but I got stuck in the car after starting. In the middle of the race, I need to work hard to take care of my tires in the following races. I thought I would have a chance to be on the podium today, but I didn’t expect to be in a relatively late position.”

Seaver won No.2 in qualifying. After today's start, he faced a fierce attack from Tesrock, but Seaver tenaciously defended his position, but he was still unable to catch up with the leader Daniel in the race, and finally won The result of No.2 finished the race.After the game, Seaver admitted that this was already his limit today: "Dongsheng seemed to be a little faster than us after the start. They controlled the race. We encountered some troubles at the end. I think No.2 is already the best result today. , but I'm still a little disappointed. I had a tough battle with Tesrock at the start, but I stayed in my lane all the time."

In this race, Bingcheng postponed the originally planned car upgrade work due to quality and safety reasons. Stewart won No.4 in qualifying, and he failed to improve his ranking in today's race.After the game, Stewart admitted that the car's lack of upgrades dragged down his performance: "When you have better upgrades, then the race will definitely become more interesting. In fact, now F1 games are largely based on the stability of upgrades. , so it seems to me that the sport is going in the wrong direction. I'm already thankful that I made it through the race, and after the start I'm in trouble, the engine temperature is too high, I thought I was going to retire because the car The momentum continued to drop, but then suddenly recovered for unknown reasons, and No.4 is already a good result in my opinion, because I might have lost more points."

The team leader of Ice City also expressed dissatisfaction with the team's recent work: "This result is really bad for us, because this is a track where we should be strong, but we have made mistakes throughout the weekend. My only The feeling is that it's time for us to wake up, we are behind in every aspect and we should have scored more points at this track, so we will do an internal review."

Leisen adopted a completely different strategy from other teams in this race. They started with the softest tires. Teslock had a chance to overtake Seaver after the start, but his opponent still stubbornly held on to his position.In the final few laps of the race, Teslock continued to attack and finally brought back a No. 3 result.After the game, Teslock said that Leysin's tactics for this race were successful: "This was a very good race. Because we were using the softest tires, we had to pit early, but the speed of our super-soft tires was It was also good, we were really competitive in the last few laps and all in all it was a good race and I enjoyed it.”

Another Leysen driver, Vergil, won No.5 today, and the Leysen team leader also praised Tesrock's performance this weekend: "I think Tesrock ran a very clean weekend this week, which is a sign of his confidence. Recovery is important and hopefully the start of a good journey."

"After reflection, there is something different about him," said team leader Lathan. "It's unclear whether this has helped. He is improving and maturing with the accumulation of experience."

"It was something we discussed with him, it was an agreement between him and the team. We just wanted to try it out this weekend. I'm not saying it worked, it was just a little bit different. He's been very involved in various places and it's done. Super job. Such a beautiful race and only 0.1 seconds behind Daniel, all to himself."

On the first lap of today’s race, Salvador’s driver Aaifan, who was fighting at home, caused a tragic crash. He lost control completely when he was trying to overtake. was destroyed, and then slid to the right again, which also pushed Aifan off the track and hit the wall, and both of them retired from the race.After the race, Aifan apologized to the other party: "I wanted to overtake, but the car was completely out of control. Unfortunately, I hit Katildan's car, and the collision was inevitable."
