End of the Century Talented Racer

Chapter 244 Abnormal
The team fixed the problem in time, but ultimately cost Vergil a chance to hit the front two rows in qualifying.Vergil's final result was 0.4 seconds behind his teammate, and he should have used DRS to make a faster result in the first speeding lap.

"I couldn't turn on the car's DRS in the first DRS zone in my first test run in Q3. The mechanics had fixed that on the last lap, but it was my first lap that I was really happy with. lap and losing DRS affected my performance. No matter what went wrong, it's always frustrating when DRS goes wrong at such a critical time."

Two Salvadoran racing cars lost control and rushed into the buffer zone during qualifying on Saturday. The similarity between the two mistakes was extremely high, so the driver's human error can be ruled out.El Salvador's new racing car is known for its unpredictability, and the strange failure in the British race, the technical director of the team believes that it is caused by the short-term blockage of the racing aerodynamic kit.

"I'm sorry for Aifan and Adonis because we didn't give them the car they deserved. The floor of our car blocked the airflow on corner entry, but the problem was caused by other components. It could also be It is related to the working principle of the tail, the setting of the adjustment, and the change of the wind speed. We have indeed encountered such a problem in the third practice, but we still failed to understand and solve this fault after the overhaul.”

Little Leysen driver Catildan suffered a broken suspension accident in the third practice. When the New Zealander entered Turn 5 under braking, the left front suspension of the car suddenly broke at a speed of 320 kilometers per hour.The little Leysen car quickly lost control and crashed into the parapet of the Brooklyn corner. Fortunately, the driver was unharmed, climbed out of the car by himself and passed the medical test.

The team manager said: "We decided to keep Alfredo in the pits because we didn't understand why the car had this problem. We speculate that the bottom wishbone in the suspension of the car broke off, but we can't be 100% sure what happened. Reason. We replaced Alfredo with a new suspension, maybe the bumpy road at Silverstone caused the problem."

Citroën Delacro lost to his teammate Altaïr in all 10 qualifying races this year. The Belgian believed that there were very serious problems with his car, which created a huge gap between him and Altaïr. "Today my car was completely uncontrollable, but the team has not found the problem yet. We discovered a serious error in the car settings during practice this morning, but we were unable to find the car until the start of qualifying. The root of the problem. I felt particularly uncomfortable in qualifying, couldn't find any speed at all, and ended up losing in Q1."

Vergil's contract with the Leysin team is about to expire at the end of the season.Since the Australian driver performed extremely well after joining Leysin in 2098, and won the China and Monaco Grand Prix this season, Virgil's name is also associated with Dongsheng and Bingcheng, which have vacant driver seats.

But with the arrival of the critical period of the transfer market, Vergil has admitted that the possibility of joining Dongsheng and Bingcheng is already very small.

"Judging from the current situation, I have the greatest possibility of staying with the team. Of course, this does not mean that I have signed a contract. The doors of other teams cannot be said to have been closed yet, but it seems that the other two leading teams Dongsheng and Bingcheng should Keep their current driver line-up."

Stewart won the record-breaking British Grand Prix pole position at Silverstone last night, and will also hit his home consecutive championship in the main race.However, the contract between the ice city driver and the team is about to expire at the end of this season, but the rumored new contract that is very likely to be announced at the weekend of the British Grand Prix has not appeared.However, the ice city team leader revealed that this weekend will not be the last British Grand Prix for the quadruple champion.

"This is not his last British Grand Prix. (Contract negotiations) are going well, and we will know the specific results when the time comes." The team leader said.

After the Austrian Grand Prix, Altair told the Spanish media that he and Citroen needed to beat the three Dongsheng teams.And after the three drivers in the two Dongsheng engine customer teams - Porter and Ruijin, which Altair described as "Dongsheng replicas", broke into Q3 in qualifying last night, the Spaniard said The two "Dongsheng teams" received help from Dongsheng to a large extent.

"It's not just Porter and Ruijin who are ahead of the other mid-range teams. They can learn a lot from Dongsheng's experience. I said something about Porter, but everyone else said it. The media made people think that I'm the only one who said that. I think it's good for F1 that some private teams and teams with smaller budgets can be competitive in F1."

After this season, the second team of Leysin has improved a lot in terms of power and stability, and Alfredo even won No.4 in the Bahrain Grand Prix amazingly.However, the power unit of the second team of Leysin had problems many times in the past few games.After finishing 14th in qualifying, Alfredo said he was satisfied with the car, but admitted that the problem with the power unit prevented him from competing for points.

"Our car is actually good. I'm a little bit surprised by how good it is actually. But because Silverstone has a lot of straights, we are behind a lot of time on the tail. And because Turns 1 and 9 are full throttle. We passed through the corners, so the requirements for speed are very high, and it also made us struggle. We are 0.9 seconds slower than Yinhua and Ruijin, so it is difficult to compete with them. The possibility of points, I think we have no possibility."

Aerodynamic problems with the El Salvador team caused both drivers to err and lose control in qualifying.Among them, Ah Aifan's accident led to the appearance of the red flag.

Therefore, the team decided to replace the rear wing for the two drivers before the race.Under F1 sporting rules, making changes to the car after qualifying means drivers will start from the pit lane.

When the main race started, the Silverstone track was still sunny, the atmospheric temperature was 26 degrees Celsius, and the track temperature reached 52 degrees Celsius, which was a severe test for the tires.

After the start of the race at this station, after a round of warm-up laps, the race starts!Stuart, who started from pole position, didn't start very well. He tried to block Santak behind him, but he didn't want to be snatched by Daniel.Stewart's rhythm seemed a bit chaotic, and he was overtaken by his teammate Sylvia immediately, and the worst luck was yet to come!Santak collided directly with Stewart in the corner. Stewart was pushed out of the track and dropped to the bottom of the team. He reported to the team that his car was damaged, and a yellow flag was issued at this time.
