End of the Century Talented Racer

Chapter 232 Double withdrawal
When Stewart pitted, Tesrock took the top position. At the last moment of the race, he faced the chasing of the drivers behind him. His racing tires were very worn out, and there were obvious blisters, but he still worked hard to persist. In the end, he crossed the finish line first and won his first sub-station championship this season.

After the race, Tesrock was ecstatic about the victory. Before he got out of the car, the sound of him laughing heartily came from the radio.After the game, Tesrock said: "The feeling of winning is really wonderful. It was difficult to manage the tires in today's game. I had a lot of air bubbles in my tires at the end of the game, but I managed to hold on. I can win in the Red Bull Ring It was a great feeling to race, especially with so many fans here. Today was a great day for me and I hope we can keep chasing like this."

Tesrock admitted that Zhang Yue's pursuit made him feel a lot of pressure: "The situation was more difficult than it seemed, and I had to fully utilize my tires. I knew that Zhang Yue was 0.3- 0.4 seconds, it's not easy to be able to hold on. I just try to do my best, the race is not completely in our hands, but I give full play to the potential of the car, which is unbelievable for us weekend."

In contrast, Vergil spent a very depressing weekend. After qualifying, he complained that his teammates did not help him. Today, he had a good chance to compete for a podium position, but finally regretted to retire. Sai: "The competition between me and Santak at the beginning of the race was very interesting. The speed of the car was good, but the condition of the tires was more responsible. Especially as the race progressed, it became a very difficult task to manage the tires well. I don't know Something went wrong with the car, but it happened out of the blue and it was definitely a disappointing weekend because we would have had the chance to score more points."

In the Austrian Grand Prix held this weekend, Leysin driver Tesrock surpassed Stewart through a pit stop under the virtual safety car and rose to the leading position. Then Tesrock took care of his soft tires for nearly 70 laps and won the championship.The manager of the Leysen team gave a very high evaluation of the adaptability of this pit stop strategy, and praised Tesrock's tire-saving skills.

"The tire peeling situation was something we couldn't have predicted before the race, because today's temperature was higher than the previous two days. Due to the huge load on the car in the last two corners, the tire wear on the car was very serious. Tesrock's today The driving is very smart, he deliberately cut the gas in many places to protect the tires, which is very mature driving skills. It is unbelievable that our team can finally achieve this result, the team's strategists and the continuous communication of Teslock Achieve perfect protection for tires."

The two Leysin Racing drivers once took the lead in the race, but due to Virgil's retirement in the second half of the race, Teslock also entered a more conservative engine mode.In order to lower Teslock's engine temperature, Teslock was chased 2 seconds behind Zhang Yue in the last five laps of the race, but he still held on to his seat.

"We significantly reduced Teslok's engine output mode during the last quarter of the race. Virgil's retirement seemed to be caused by the rear exhaust pipe spraying hot air into the car body for a long time. We did not I’m sure this problem is similar to what Teslock encountered in Friday’s practice session, but fortunately we managed to keep Teslock’s car going until the end.”

Stewart and Seaver both suffered retirements in the Austrian race on Sunday. This is also the first double-retirement tragedy for the Bingcheng team in the past two years.In this regard, Stewart urged the team to find an "indestructible" technical and tactical system to ensure that the team will not make similar mistakes and accidents again.

"The car is in good condition and we are sure it is the fastest on the track. But we cannot accept losing points like today. We have to make sure that the car leads the race comfortably and does not make mistakes in terms of strategy. Today for It is very unfortunate for the team that after so many years of impenetrable reliability, we have finally experienced one of the darkest weekends."

The ice city team manager also agreed with Stewart's point of view. The Austrian said that this would be the most painful weekend for ice city in recent years.At the same time, he also explained why Stewart was not pitted under VSC. The team originally had at least half a lap to deal with such a strategy change, but in the end Ice City decided to let Stewart stay on the track.

"When it happened, we were one or two on the field at Ice City Racing. Then we found out by accident that Seaver's car stopped on the track and triggered the virtual safety car. In this case, the probability is 80% We must make a pit stop, but we consider that Leisen and Dongsheng have two cars behind them. If they let one of their cars stay on the track, then our strategy will be passive. We are overwhelmed by these complicated Distracted with questions and ended up not being as flexible as the opponent."

At the start of the Austrian Grand Prix, Santak took advantage of the speed advantage of the extremely soft tires and was at the forefront.With three consecutive mistakes in the first lap, he fell prey to Teslock in the second half of the race and was caught up by Teslock at Turn [-].However, due to Santak's defense on the line, Teslok's front wheel slightly rubbed Santak's rear wheel, and both cars narrowly avoided a more serious accident.

“There were a lot of accidents on the first lap, and I spun a little bit because of Teslock’s collision. Because Turn [-] at Seaver interfered with my line, I took the outside line in the subsequent Turn [-], and Teslock was on the outside. The inside hit me a little bit and I lost my position. We each tried our best to avoid the accident, so to me the accident was fair game for both parties."

El Salvador driver Al Aifan finished 13th in the race, but because he ignored He Guangyuan's lap on him in the final stage, Al Aifan blocked He Guangyuan for a long time.The tournament stewards decided to add a ten-second penalty to Aifan's score, so the 13th place went to his teammate Adonis.

Although the two drivers of Bingcheng retired from the race due to mechanical failure, the role of the major upgrade of Bingcheng's station should not be ignored.

Austria is a famous mountainous country, with 68% of its land above 500 meters above sea level.The Spielberg Circuit is no exception. The highest point is 784.9 meters above sea level, making it the second highest track in the year after Mexico.
