[Racing] King of Speed

Sao Paulo, Brazil, located in the southern hemisphere, is in summer in November. Although the temperature is below [-], the track temperature is often as high as [-] degrees Celsius, so that many teams pay great attention to the overheating of tires.But the biggest headache here is not the weather, but the aging facilities of Interlagos and the flatness of the track.Drivers often feel extremely tired after a race. In addition to the high temperature and physical exertion, it is because the road here is very bumpy. Although there was a large-scale repair a few years ago, the problem still remains. In the exact words that Pirzeo told the reporter after the practice match: Here in Brazil, you can numb your buttocks and whole body, and bile can come out of your mouth. will always get used to it.

Then the weather forecast showed that there will be rain on Saturday's qualifying day, and it is not a heavy rain and thunderstorm, but a shower. As for when it will rain, it is predicted that it may be in the morning or in the afternoon. Of course, the probability of evening is also 30.00 %, this makes the team that wants to win the championship unable to bear the curse.You know, the pole position of Interlagos is extremely important. Even if there are a lot of overtaking points, the more forward the start, the safer it is, and it is not easy to get caught in the following traffic and fight against the slow car. Being implicated is likely to ruin the championship, and the initiative is no longer in his hands, so Quinby and Satika both want to take the pole position.

But there are some Chen Yaojins, the more critical the moment is, the more they like to fight out to make trouble, like the Oga team, even if I can't win the championship myself, and our team doesn't have the team championship, but it will not be so easy for you Victory, so the pole position was taken by Fren.

Of course, the process is definitely not that simple. It didn’t rain at the beginning of Q1, so Janit took the lead, and Weiss was not slow. He even rushed into Q2 with his teammates, but Q2 still A few minutes before the start, it suddenly started to rain, so that the track was overcrowded for a while, and they all wanted to get the results before the dry ground, because even if the rainy ground was run with the best tires, it would be impossible to fly. Impossible to go faster than dry ground.Who knew that Jinxi of the three big cars accidentally folded at the gate of Q3, his car suddenly slowed down, and his speed was even slower than that of some small teams, and he was stuck in the No.11 position. It's just that Kinsey's rare slump in qualifying this year was also due to the moment when Quimby was hoping to hire someone. For a while, Rory on the console looked a little downcast.

And Janit and Weiss couldn't get up to speed anymore, and they were hovering around the fourth or fifth place all the time, but Fren suddenly opened up a big distance, leaving most people including his teammate Kaiser behind. behind.

Now that the matter has come to this point, Ross in the studio also saw the clues, "Fren is so fast because he is definitely a thorough rain adjustment. Oga bet that it will rain today, no wonder he will be so fast."

The host was surprised, "But there may be no rain tomorrow, did he give up the race?" Other teams also knew that there would be rain today, but it may not necessarily rain in all three qualifying sessions, so they did not dare to use such extreme The adjustments are all neutral or a bit more dry. I am afraid that I will be eliminated before the rain. Now I will not lose too much. The most important thing is to seize tomorrow.And even if they occupy a good position in qualifying today, they can no longer change the car tuning before the race. If they use this mode on dry ground tomorrow, won’t they find it by themselves?That's why a team like Oga's now at a loss is willing to use his number two driver to mix things up.

The host asked and suddenly realized, "Since Fren rains so fast, Kinsey is doing a dry adjustment instead?! And it's very, very dry, so extreme that he almost couldn't run on the wet ground today. Is this the reason why you can’t make it to Q3? Quinby is a gamble.” Because Sao Paulo has a subtropical monsoon climate, the rain comes at any time. The weather forecast says it won’t rain tomorrow, but F1’s weather forecast has always been unreliable , if it rains, Quinby will be half-baked, "I think there will be a good show tomorrow."

The result of qualifying was Fren on pole, Kaiser was second, Weiss was third, and the fourth was actually Tiger of the Madge Racing Team. The signing of Billy's new contract gave him a lot of motivation to perform so well today.Pirzeo is fifth, Garnett is sixth and Nair is seventh.If the race is finished tomorrow with this ranking, the champion will be Weiss, but obviously this is definitely impossible. Pierre alone will definitely find a way to give up the position to Garnett, and he will keep the sixth place to guard against the opponents behind. When people overtake, Garnett doesn't need to do anything, as long as he brings the car back safely in this ranking, he will be this year's WDC.

And if Weiss doesn't do something, what awaits him is failure, so Quinby will definitely have a plan, but Weiss is not without advantages. Although Fren is in the first place, if it doesn't rain tomorrow, he will definitely It will be very slow, Weiss really has to deal with Kaiser in front of him, if he can overtake him, he can win the championship, then even if Satika turns up again, Weiss can use no one Scared!So on the surface, it seems that Garnett is leading now, but the situation is not too bad against Weiss, as long as he can seize the opportunity.

The closer to the end of the formula each year, the more unpredictable variables actually become. It seems that there are only two people confronting each other on the field, but in fact, every driver is not a bystander of the game. They may participate or even change the final result. The reason why the teams, managers, and drivers themselves have to work hard in the paddock. At this time, it’s not enough to rely on yourself alone. Not only your teammates need to help, but even if other teams don’t help, at least don’t be a obstructive party. , During the race, the car in front of you should block two laps less, and the super-slow car should give way faster, every minute and every second of these may become the key.In other words, whoever is of good character and everyone lets you go will have greater hopes.

Sure enough, the sun was shining brightly in Sao Paulo the next day, and the paddock was crowded with enthusiastic local fans early on. The grid was crowded with people, and the team technicians were busy doing the final inspection and debugging. The management chatted enthusiastically on the surface and tested each other internally. Although the drivers occasionally laughed and laughed, they could actually see that the atmosphere was different from the previous competitions. After all, it was about the annual championship, and the whole situation was faintly revealing. It feels like rain is coming, especially for the two title contenders.

The camera went all the way from Weiss to Garnett, then Pirzeo sitting in the car, then the showrunners Fren and Kaiser, and finally settled on Kinsey and Neil who were whispering.

Kinsey approached Neil and was talking about something with a smile. The crew engineer on the side was very hardworking and held an umbrella for the two of them at the back. Not far away was a little technician with water and a helmet. Nodding seriously from time to time, listening carefully.

The host looked at the screen and suddenly said, "You said... Is Sodenshahn taking care of Del Rosa, 'You will find a way to kill Janit as soon as you start', don't let him overtake Pirzeo , so that Weiss's winning rate will be higher!"

Ross looked carefully at Kinsey's mouth shape, and nodded for a while, "As far as the relationship between the two of them is concerned, I think Neil is likely to turn against him. After all, compared to the two, Wes is still his old predecessor and fellow villager."

"Then Janit hurry up to win over Reading at this time, I guess he will be very willing to sing against his teammates."

Ross said, "I think Reading won't do much if he wins over...he's in the thirteenth place."

The host agreed after a little thought.

In fact, Kinsey was just telling Neil that after today's race, if the team doesn't have any celebrations, the two of them will go out for dinner. He knows that there are some good restaurants in Sao Paulo...

When the time was almost up, all irrelevant people retreated from the starting line, leaving only [-] cars to start the warm-up lap, and then returned to the grid to wait for the signal light.

The moment the red light went out, twenty cars sped out at full speed!

The first thing to come is a long straight. With full Kers, the rain-tuned Fren could not catch the ground at all under the sun. He probably knew it well, so he let his teammate Kaiser go. Finally, he only occupied the racing line behind Weiss to prevent him from passing easily, but Weiss, who has been holding his breath for so many years, has a combat power value at this moment. Chasing behind Fren, taking advantage of the two corners 4 and 5, he cut off Fren who couldn't get stuck at the apex of the bend, and took advantage of the opportunity to grab the second place.

The host excitedly shouted "Perfect!" and then said, "Now Weiss has handed over the burden to Garnett. Even if Peale gives him the fifth position, he will have to surpass Tiger in front of him." The total points lead!"

The fact is indeed the case. Originally, Satika wanted to wait for the situation to stabilize and run two more laps before letting Peel give way, because this would make him lose his original rhythm, but Janit still wanted to chase Tiger in front. However, Peale wanted his teammates to see if Nail agrees with him. Nair has been hard on the back of Janit since the start, and the two of them are very close. Recently, if Peel wants to let him go, he will probably let him go too.

"Let me just say it!" The host got excited again, "Nell is definitely a member of the Quimby Gang, look at this hardworking, maybe Janit will be overtaken by him!"
