Chapter 540 Chapter 540 - Qualifying Match - 1
After the end of the third practice session, Bu Zelu's fastest lap time has come to the 8th place, and Rosberg is even more powerful, directly entering the [-]rd place.

Vettel continued to maintain his superb state, maintaining the first three practice sessions, and the second was his teammate Captain Webber.

The fourth is the lotus, and the fifth is Alonso from my Legal family.

When this report card came out, many people could already see that Mercedes was very strong this year, but McLaren was a bit depraved. Behind Bu Zelu was the McLaren driven by Hamilton.

After the game, Bu Zelu had to attend the press conference stipulated by the FIA ​​this time, but the time was not long, only 15 minutes.

"Joye, you ran very well today!" Vettel was the first driver to greet him besides Rosberg.

"I'm getting used to it a little bit. My goal this year is to get points!" Bu Zelu smiled cheerfully.

"Don't be kidding, your Mercedes cars are fast this year!" Vettel rolled his eyes.

"Come on, don't try to get information from me!" Bu Zelu pushed Vettel, the bastard saw that he was a newcomer, and always wanted to get some information from him.

The paddock is so big, and there are actually only a few teams. Everyone knows who has the best engine. In the past two years, Mercedes’ investment in F1 scientific research has been increasing year by year. Highest.

This is the case with cars. Whoever invests more will have a better car. It is easy to compare.

But no one knows what is going on with Mercedes this year, especially since the 'factory team' is fundamentally different from other 'teams'.

In the F1 team, the factory team is actually Ferrari, Mercedes, etc., which have their own R&D center. To put it bluntly, they are their own engines.

Even like the oldest McLaren and Williams, these are teams, they do not have the support of their own brand car factory.

To put it more generally, Ferrari, Mercedes and the former Honda are all "branded computers", and other teams are "assembled computers". The core things inside the car are provided by other companies.

Mercedes canceled its cooperation with Red Bull this year, and only used the engine for itself, with Red Bull's three consecutive championships.

Everyone in the paddock knows how competitive Mercedes is this year.

When we came to the press conference, it was different from the tennis conference. Everyone here is like sitting in a lecture theater, with a total of three rows.

The first row is naturally the top three in practice, and so on.

In fact, this is not just an interview, but also a way for the FIA ​​to create stars, giving drivers exposure and promoting F1 as a racing sport.

Star power is very important.

After the interviews for the top three are over, it's time for free interviews. Yes, the top three are regular interviews, and the others will rely on their own 'popularity'.

Among them, Bu Zelu is a very topical star.

However, when Bu Zelu took out a piece of paper from his pocket, there were completely different reactions on stage and off stage.

Hamilton, who was sitting next to Bu Zelu, tilted his head directly, and looked at the small piece of paper in Bu Zelu's hand. You must know that Bu Zelu's small note is very famous.

Many media wanted to know what was written on it.

Whether the so-called 'standard answer' was really written is already a 'secret' in the sports circle and on the Internet.

Hamilton was also naturally curious. He really saw the things above, and they were indeed some questions and answers.

"...Mr. Bu Zelu, can you tell me about your feelings about cross-border driving?"

"I'm still getting used to it, I'll work hard!" Bu Zelu read the answer on the small piece of paper in a rigid manner.

"Mr. Bu Zelu, how do you feel about yesterday's first practice match?"

"Still adapting, I will work hard!"

"Mr. Bu Zelu, according to the footage of the two days of practice, you seem to be very afraid of fighting with other drivers!"

"Still getting used to it, I will work hard!" Bu Zelu turned over the small piece of paper in order to find the answer, and he found the answer.

"Mr. Bu Zelu, what is your goal for this afternoon's qualifying match!"

"..." Bu Zelu flipped through the paper but couldn't find the answer, "Next!"

Massa next to him couldn't help laughing, and quickly raised his hand to express his apology. This was the first time he experienced Bu Zelu's interview at close range.

In the past, most of the time I watched Bu Zelu's games was just watching the highlights.

"Mr. Bu Zelu, if your competition is not satisfactory this time, will you go back to play tennis? You must know that the French Open will start in May, and there is still time!"

"..." Bu Zelu flipped through the papers and still couldn't find the answer, sighed, "Don't ask me about tennis in the future, I'll tell you simply, I don't have money, I can't afford it! I don't want to break the contract! The FIA ​​is really troublesome, I only need to answer three questions next door! Can you ask someone else, don't ask me!"

After Bu Zelu finished speaking, he simply put away the note and put it in his pocket, and leaned on his chin with one hand and started to be in a daze.

"Mr. Bu Zelu, this is F1, there is no principle of three questions, we are now free for interviews!"

"Ah, then I also have the right to answer freely." Bu Zelu said copiously.

The reporter saw Bu Zelu's attitude of non-violence and non-cooperation, and asked a few more questions. Bu Zelu didn't even open his mouth, so he had no choice but to ask other people.

But do you think this group of media will let Bu Zelu go?They directly asked other drivers for their evaluation of Bu Ze shoes.

"...Sebastian, I heard that you and Joye have known each other before, and have overtaken in three contact races. What do you think of Joye's driving skills?"

"Really? I have been concentrating on the game!" Although Vettel has a good relationship with Bu Zelu, he will not fall into the trap.

With such a standard answer from Vettel, no one else would comment on Bu Zelu, and they all said that they were focusing on the game and adapting to the new car.

The post-match interview itself is not long, and they still have a qualifying match in the afternoon, so they hurried to eat and rest.

Bu Zelu didn't cooperate so much, Mercedes couldn't help it. After all, he also fulfilled the duties of the interview, and there was nothing wrong with the questions he answered.

As for his unwillingness to answer more questions, that is his freedom, and it does not damage the image of the team or the FIA.

After a simple meal, Bu Zelu and the team's engineers once again communicated with the car.

Although it is not possible to move the car now, but the data can be used for discussion.

March 3, at 15:14 sharp.

Qualifying at the Melbourne circuit has begun, and this kind of race has attracted more attention than the previous three practice sessions.

At the same time, there were many spectators sitting in the stands of the arena, but the most eye-catching ones were a group of special fans. These beauties were all wearing hot clothes. Gathered on a lawn.

This is a lineup of nearly 50-60 people, and such a landscape makes the camera have to take care of it crazily.

Racing cars + beauties are a highlight in themselves. Didn’t you see that during the racing competition, there would be a car model standing next to each car?

Car models actually extend from racing competitions to 4S shops.

But that was a performance before the main race, like the current practice match, there is no qualifying match.

But today's qualifying match not only lacked beauties, but also had a big trouble.

It's raining!
With the rain, the plans of all the teams were directly disrupted. It would be fine if it was a practice race, but it didn't rain during the practice race, and none of the teams had tested the rain tires.

It started to rain in this qualifying match.

But it’s okay now, as the countdown started, all the cars of the team rushed out, because we should cherish the road that is not completely wet yet.

This was the first time Bu Zelu encountered such a track. Almost all the cars drove out of the maintenance area in a line, but Bu Zelu also received instructions before getting on the car.

And some problems with the rain station were also discussed during the Mercedes training.

After all the vehicles exited the maintenance area, they slowly opened up the distance. After all, this is a qualifying race, and everyone wanted to run well while taking advantage of the water drainage performance of the tires.

Shake rainwater out of traffic lanes.

The running methods of F1 cars are actually the same. Everyone will try their best to use the optimal route of the track to run laps, even on ordinary dry roads.

After the start of the race, you can also see a particularly fast passage on the track. This passage is the so-called traffic lane.

The reason for the itinerary "lane" is actually that each car blows away the dust on the road, and 22 cars will run on such a line, which will lead to a runway in a track.

That is the so-called driving lane.

This kind of traffic lane is often seen in automobile competitions. If it is a motorcycle, it is still rare. After all, it is not easy to clear a traffic lane due to the tires and size of a motorcycle. In addition, the running method of a motorcycle is different from that of a racing car. .

There are many options for overtaking. Anyone who has watched motorcycle GP knows that in motorcycle overtaking, in addition to bending to the innermost side, there are other lines that can be cut and turned.

But the car is different. Its size is placed there, and the track is so wide. Some corners simply cannot accommodate two parallel cars, so they can only pass one after the other.

This is the reason why car races are prone to 'lanes', and it is more intuitive, not to say that other cars do not have lanes.

"Rain battle~" Bu Zelu was a little speechless. Although he had encountered rain battles when he was running in Dakar before, it was a motorcycle, and it was still in the wilderness. There were no competitors, and he could take the route casually.

But it can't work here, as a novice at first, Bu Zelu collapsed even more when encountering such bad weather.

　F2013 who are familiar with the 1 season should have an impression. This is the first year of the few rain races, and the rain race in F1 is the most exciting race. Well, I just want to say that the data is really the rain race this year. , It’s not written for the sake of the plot, emmmmm, so be it.
