Chapter 623 Two Stops

A new team took the first place in qualifying, which surprised everyone. In people's impression, the new teams should be at the bottom of the list. It is already a major breakthrough to enter the second round of qualifying. As for the pole position, it is the bag of the big teams.

But today, a small team, a new team, and a team that almost went bankrupt last year won the first and second places on the grid, breaking the monopoly of the big teams at once. No one expected it.

No matter on the spot or in front of the TV, everyone made a sound of amazement.

"It's unbelievable that Chinese forces have won the top two places! What happened to F1 this year? What happened to Ferrari this year? What happened to McLaren this year? Alonso, Leo Corning, Hamilton... What happened to these world champions?" Someone asked such a question.

"Don't forget that this is Ross Brawn's team after all! Is it any wonder that the car built by Ross Brawn won the top two places?" someone replied.

Many people suddenly felt enlightened. They thought of Ferrari at its peak, and thought of the era that belonged to Schumacher. At that time, the technical director of Ferrari was Ross Brown. The top two in the position competition are nothing more than normal.

Today, Ross Brawn took out another red car, but this time the red is not Ferrari, but Chinese power, but the final result is the same, they once again swept the top two in qualifying.

This explanation made many fans feel relieved. The team name "China Force" cannot be recognized by fans, but the name Ross Brown can.

But just at this point, someone next to him said, "How should I explain that crown?"

"That's right! To get pole position in a car race, it's not just enough to have the fastest car, but also a first-class driver!"

"You mean that Zhang Guan is a first-class driver?"

"I don't know if Zhang Guan is a first-class driver, but in terms of performance, he is faster than Barrichello! And Barrichello can be regarded as a first-class driver! At least he used to be."

"You have watched the race just now. Zhang Guan's skills can definitely be regarded as a first-class driver. And don't forget, Zhang Guan is a talented athlete. Maybe he will really win the championship tomorrow!"

...

Zhang Guan, Barrichello and Red Bull Racing's Vettel respectively won the top three in qualifying. At this time, the three were standing together, receiving blessings from fans and taking photos from reporters on the spot.

Dazzling flashlights were entangled in the afterglow of the setting sun, and all three of them had smiles on their faces. But among the crowd, there are some people who are not happy, such as those few Australian journalists.

"Hmph, isn't it just a pole position! This is just qualifying, and it's not the race. It often happens in Formula One that the first place on the grid doesn't even get a point at the end!" The reporter who "has the right to express his opinion" said with a cold snort.

"That's right!" Another colleague of his expressed support for him: "The qualifying race only needs to run a good lap, but the main race needs to run more than 50 laps! It's good to run a lap , does not mean that he can run more than 50 laps! Although Zhang Guan will start from pole position tomorrow, maybe he will not even get a single point tomorrow."

...

The climate in Melbourne from March to May is very pleasant. The southern hemisphere happens to be autumn, the sun is sunny and not too hot, and the breeze by the sea at night does not make people feel cold.

However, Zhang Guan was not in the mood to appreciate the night view of Melbourne. At this time, he was discussing the strategy of tomorrow's game with the strategy team of China Power.

"Our two cars are filled with medium fuel, which allows us to arrange the strategy more calmly, so we can choose the strategy of two pit stops tomorrow, or we can choose the strategy of three pit stops? One pit stop does not need to be considered. No, our oil can't last that long." Technical Director Gendel said.

"According to the test situation, this year's supersoft tires wear out too fast, and can only support twelve or three laps, and according to the rules, we must use two types of tires, so if two pit stops, the best Well, it’s the choice of two medium tires and one supersoft tire. And if it’s three stops, we can use two medium tires and two supersoft tires.” Ross Brown turned his head and asked: “ How are our tires doing now?"

"We also have a new set of mediums and a new set of supersofts, and another set of lightly worn mediums and a set of lightly worn supersofts, which were used in qualifying. In addition, there is a set of old supersoft tires that can be replaced, and the remaining two sets of medium tires and one set of supersoft tires have been worn out during practice and are no longer usable." Gendel said .

"The tires are enough." Ross Brown looked at Zhang Guan and Barrichello: "Which tactic do you think we choose? Two stops or three stops?"

"Let's make two stops! Three stops is too risky. If the safety car is triggered in tomorrow's race, we may find a more suitable time to stop. After all, the rules have been changed again this year. If the safety car is dispatched, it is You can enter the station." Zhang Guan said.

"I think two pit stops are safer. I think most drivers will choose two pit stops." Barrichello also said from the side.

"This is a race this year. Every team wants to get a good start. Even if they don't get points, they at least want to finish the race. I don't want to see the safety car in tomorrow's race." Ross- Brown spread his hands, and then said: "One more thing, I want to remind you that although Ferrari is behind you, you must pay attention to them. Their racing cars are equipped with a kinetic energy recovery system, which means that their starting will be faster. quick."

"Who else has a kinetic energy recovery system besides Ferrari?" Zhang Guan asked.

"Currently the official data we have obtained is that Ferrari, McLaren, Renault and BMW Sauber's Heinfeld, their cars will be equipped with a kinetic energy recovery system. Among these people, Ferrari's two cars are in seventh and third respectively. 9 starts, BMW Sauber's Heyfeld starts 11, Renault starts 12 and 17, McLaren's two cars start 14 and 15. That is to say, they will really pose a threat to us , only two cars from Ferrari, especially Massa in seventh place." Ross Brawn said.

"They are all factory teams! It seems that the research and development progress of our independent teams is similar, and the research and development of the kinetic energy recovery system has not reached the level of the factory teams." Zhang Guan said.

"The kinetic energy recovery system has just started to be used this season. At present, this technology is not yet mature. If it is used rashly, it may affect the integrity of our racing car. However, our experiment is also in progress. I will try to let you use it in the second half of the year." This kinetic energy recovery system!" Ross Brown said.
