[Racing] King of Speed

On the second day, Nair ushered in the Nurburgring race very energetically. The team had told Nair in the previous tactical arrangement that Weiss behind him at the start would definitely use his greatest strength to leave Nair behind. On the one hand, Kinsey can go farther, on the other hand, he can also be used to block the fourth Kaiser's attack.

In addition to the shortcomings of changing weather, the track in the mountain area will also have a very strong mountain wind, which will not only bring resistance to the car in various directions, but also blow the sand and gravel outside the track in a mess, blowing to the race On the track, it will directly affect the grip of the car, and even affect the speed. Although Nair starts at the top of the grid like Kinsey, the double numbers of the second, fourth, sixth, etc. are on the dirty side of the track, that is, On the side with more gravel and rubbish, the start will be weaker than the third and fifth odd-numbered cars. It is not uncommon for seasoned drivers to deliberately set aside time in qualifying just to get a favorable position. good location.

Therefore, Nair had enough mental preparations, but at the start of the race, he was still extremely tightly chased by Weiss. Nair cut the corner very hard, occupied the main racing line with all his strength, and used up all the artifact Kers Only then did he barely keep the second position, and Kinsey had already taken advantage of the time when he and Weiss were entangled to drive Neil's little straight.

Being able to escape and ascend to the sky under Weiss, Neil's start could not have been better. Joseph praised him in TR and let him hold his position by the way. The most important thing is to ensure that his current ranking is stable.

Behind Westbrook is Kaiser, and behind Kaiser is Garnett. These two are staring at the back like two wolves. There was no chance to do anything to Neil.Kinsey ran very fast, and it didn't take long for him to close the gap with the second place to three or four seconds. Even so, Nair was not slow. On this very high-quality track, Nair actually seemed to be He was very comfortable, and at one point he had to lead Weiss by [-] or [-] seconds per lap.

As I said before, the Nürburgring track temperature is very low, and the tire temperature is not high, so some small teams that heat up quickly chase very close, but everyone is not too tire-intensive, and many of them have no confidence in the speed. Drivers who are confident in tire protection plan to choose 1Stop to pit.

But the big teams are generally not willing to use this tactic. First of all, their absolute speed is much ahead, and the long distance is stable. You need to save money when running, and you can’t fight with others. What if you accidentally encounter the critical point of the tire and get caught by the rear wheel?At that time, even the basic position will not be able to be kept, so unless it is a last resort, or if the chances of winning are within grasp, most of them still adopt the normal 2Stop strategy.Nair is the second stop, and he believes that the first few drivers also have the second stop.

However, a few laps before the normal stop window, Janit and Kaiser stopped to change tires one after another. This is actually quite normal. They were blocked by Weiss and they couldn’t run fast and couldn’t overtake. It’s better to stop and find someone Run a good lap in an open place, which is another Undercut tactic.Unexpectedly, after they left, the lap time of the leading Weiss went up when there was no one in front of him, to prove that his tires were still in good condition, while Garnett and Kaiser were still in good condition due to tire temperature. They couldn’t get up, but Weiss evened them, and the dream of getting in early to set a lap time was also ruined. When Weiss entered the station and then returned to the track, he was still firmly in front of them, and Widened the gap to two seconds.

Nair has experience on this track, but Weiss, as a veteran who has been around for many years, certainly cannot have less experience than him, and as the fuel volume of Quinby's car decreases, the gap between them has gradually emerged. The distance between Nair and Kinsey is getting wider and wider, and that of Weiss is getting closer.

Since he entered F1, although he had occasional outstanding results, under the attack of the top three teams, he was almost killed without any resistance, which made the audience not see the wonderful struggle from Nair. The scene, so as Weiss approached, the host gradually became excited.

"Can Nair stop it? Or will he be picked off by Weiss like this? This is the first civil war between old and new Italian drivers."

The home driver's attack naturally made the home fans extremely excited. One by one stood up and danced, cheering Weiss crazily. Even the roar of the engine could hardly stop the excitement of the fans. It is extremely stressful for young drivers.

So, the next moment, Joseph came to the communication again, and he told Nairvis that it was almost a second, and asked Nair to keep calm.

Neil had seen Weiss in the rearview mirror from time to time. His brows under his helmet were tightly frowned, and his eyes were full of fierce aura. Weiss approached him in less than one lap, and the gap between the front and rear cars was Less than one second means that another artifact DRS can be used, but DRS is not so easy to use at the Nürburgring. Every track has a fixed DRS overtaking area. Most of the overtaking areas are a long straight road, but in Here, because there is a corner between the two overtaking areas, if DRS is turned on, it is easy to miss the apex of the corner, but once it is turned off, the opponent will run far away after the corner. This is why Garnett and Kaiser One of the reasons why he couldn't surpass successfully, so Nair is confident that he can defend Wes.

But Westbrook, the No. [-] driver of the Quinby team, did not sit in vain. He chose not to drive DRS at all. Although he could not get close to Nair on the straight, he quickly approached the first turn. Most of the Nurburgring It is a slow corner, which tests the brake control the most. Sislera's absolute speed in this round is not much worse than that of Quinby, but the problem of grip is difficult to make up for in a short time.In the case that the tires of both of them are very OK, Nair can't hold the corner a little bit, which is enough for Westbrook to take advantage of the loophole.

Ross in the studio suddenly yelled, "Wess just turned on the corner just after the corner!! He turned on the DRS at the same time!!" This will not affect the next straight, but also can take advantage of Neil's car. The wake helped him to speed up, "Nice! He passed Deloza!"

At that moment, Weiss wanted to overtake another car, drive DRS, turn a corner, and control the driver's rhythm. Under such a god-like control, Nair naturally couldn't guard against it, and could only watch Weiss helplessly. It passed, and Neil's reaction was extremely fast. As soon as Weiss passed, it was his turn to be within a second behind the opponent. He also quickly turned on his DRS, but the straight was too short, and Weiss passed in an instant. ran away.

Nair therefore lost his No.2.

In the next race, Nair obviously wanted to overtake Weiss, but after the second stop, he switched to medium tires. Sislera's running-in of medium tires was obviously not as good as that of soft tires. He and the first two The distance of the car is getting farther and farther.

On the contrary, Weiss was faster than Kinsey after changing the tire, and each lap was faster than one second. At this time, the two people in the studio started to move again, especially the host, who was completely uneasy and kind. .

"Ross, tell me, will Quimby have a team order after Weiss catches up?"

Ross looked at the driver standings, "Weiss and Garnett are [-] points behind, and there is still half of the schedule, so it shouldn't be."

"But no one knows what will happen in the next game. The difference between Kinsey and Garnett is [-] points. Quinby will definitely not be able to put Bao on him. In the second half of the schedule, there will be one or two points." It may affect the title of the champion, and now the difference between the champion and the runner-up is eight points, I always feel... Rory will say something." The host obviously feared that the world would not be chaotic.

But in fact, what he said is right. The so-called "team order" is a very gray area in Formula One. There is no express rule that it cannot be done, but once it appears in a race, it will often be criticized by many, many people. , including the fans, including other people in the paddock, but for the consideration of the team, this is an understandable tactic, but it seems cruel and even unsportsmanlike, so whether it is right or wrong, in fact, No one can make a complete conclusion, but this instruction can be summed up in two straightforward words - "give way".

Give way, give your leading position to your teammates, and give him your points, so that he has more chips to win the championship and compete with other teams.Quimby chose Kinsey in the first place, of course because of his development potential and technology, as well as his strong background, but his youth and the gap in qualifications between him and Weiss are also reasons.Facing Weiss' current backwardness, the safest way for the team is to strive for more victories for him, not to let go of a game, because often in the end, the difference between the champion and the runner-up is just a little bit, just like last year. Ze's crucial finale in Brazil.

No one knows, will Weiss miss the championship by just a few points in the end, instead of losing both ends, why not squeeze into a ball and maximize the benefits?But anyone would say, but sports competitions are all about sincerity and passion. This kind of trick is not only a kind of harm to the fans, but also a kind of harm to the person who is given up the car, especially like Kinsey, a rookie who has performed so well and vigorously, should let him undergo such an excessively cruel test in front of the fans at home?
