Chapter 660 660 - Qualifying

At the end of the half-race, Bu Zelu was temporarily in first place with a time of 1:46, but his teammate Rosberg complained about understeer. Hulkenberg and Chilton also had similar problems.

Shortly afterwards, the Infiniti Red Bull took the top two positions again, but this time Webber took the lead for the time being.

Di Resta and Maldonado both made small mistakes on the track, Hulkenberg found the car was not stable in the corners, and Rosberg changed the steering wheel.

In the last 10 minutes, the drivers began to switch to supersoft tires for the final test, and the lap time was improved immediately, but Van der Garde's car passed the wall when he exited Turn 21.

In the end, Vettel of the Infiniti Red Bull Racing team secured the top spot again with the fastest lap of 1:44, Grosjean of the Lotus F173 team was second behind by 1 seconds, and Mercedes driver Rosberg ranked third .

Webber, Hamilton and Alonso ranked fourth to sixth respectively, while Massa and Raikkonen ranked 10th and 12th respectively.

After the third practice, Bu Zelu was in the 14th position, and then, like yesterday, there will be a two-hour rest time before qualifying.

As soon as Bu Zelu's results came out, the attitude of the media changed. Regardless of the 14th place, in fact he was only 2 seconds behind the pole position driver. As for the team's results for Bu Zelu, it was not bad satisfy.

There are not as many messy things in the team about Bu Zelu in the media, especially in motorsports, which can be represented by linear data.

Results are visualized.

For two hours, Bu Zelu didn't run around, and stayed in the team to communicate with engineers and staff about some problems.

"Joye, I need you to make sure I get into Q3 in the qualifying session." Toto Wolff found Bize before the qualifying session was about to start.

"It should be fine." Bu Ze walked very easily.

"Although I don't want to put pressure on you, you have to be clear that your total points advantage is not that great, do you understand?" Toto Wolff said seriously.

"Allah, Allah, look, I didn't invite any guests from the sports circle this time, so it shouldn't be too bad luck." Bu Zelu is also a little skeptical now, the situation of the previous three European stops is too damn back.

"Okay, stay safe!"

With the start of qualifying, Bu Zelu also got into the cockpit for the first time, waiting for the countdown.

Turn 10, which has always been controversial, was changed to a traditional left-hand corner this year, and the lap time dropped by nearly 4 seconds.

Since Pirelli has brought a combination of supersoft and medium (hard) tyres, the nearly 2-second lap gap between the two tires can greatly influence a team's tire choice.

After all, rain battles are unpredictable, and all teams need more race conditions that tend to be dry.

As qualifying officially began, Williams' Maldonado took the lead on the track, but Mercedes set the benchmark on hard tires first, with Rosberg temporarily ranking first with 1:46.

Alonso was slightly behind by 0.4 seconds.

Less than halfway, Sauber has started using supersoft tires, and 1:45 is Perez's first time with supersoft tires.

The two Red Bulls and Hamilton were the last cars to appear, with Red Bull confidently using the hard tyres.

韦伯1分45秒271的圈速比佩雷兹领先0.1秒，维特尔落后队友0.5秒暂居第3。

Another lap helped Vettel match the results of his teammates, which was enough to ensure that the two Red Bulls passed the test of the first quarter.

The track was very crowded in the last 3 minutes, and all the cars except Red Bull and Mercedes were sprinting with supersoft tires.

In the end, Di Resta, Maldonado, Pique, Van der Garde, Bianchi and Chilton were eliminated.

In the first qualifying session, Red Bull and Mercedes insisted on hard tires to easily top ten, which surprised other teams.

After the start of the second qualifying session, Raikkonen, who was troubled by back problems and still persisted in his appearance, first drove onto the track. 1:44 was the first soft tire time for Lotus.

Mercedes still has plenty of stamina, with Rosberg beating the Finnish Iceman's time by 1 seconds in 43:892.

In the last 5 minutes, Red Bull and Grosjean appeared, and Red Bull first used supersoft tires.

Vettel set the fastest record at all three timing points, with 1:42 almost 905 second faster than Rosberg's previous result.

Teammate Webber was in second place 0.8 seconds behind.

On the other side, Bu Zelu was 0.4 seconds behind Webber and ranked fourth. The competition between Mercedes and Red Bull has become fierce.

Hamilton and Button made their final appearances, and Button barely squeezed into the top ten with a time of 1:44.

Hulkenberg, Vergne, Raikkonen, Perez, Sutil and Bottas were eliminated after the second qualifying session.

The third quarter of qualifying came in no time, and Red Bull led Mercedes, Button, and Grosjean to start the first round of test runs.

Vettel took the lead and once again refreshed the fastest time he created in the second quarter with 1:42.

Teammate Webber was 0.6 seconds behind, and Rosberg squeezed into second place between the two Red Bulls with a slight advantage of 0.03 seconds.

Bu Zelu still kept up with the former, 0.1 seconds behind his teammate, and was in the fourth position again.

Despite being so far ahead, Vettel still had plenty of room to stay away from the barrier.

He felt that there was still room for improvement of 0.1 to 0.2 seconds, but Red Bull decided to abandon the second test run.

Except for Vettel, the other 9 cars entered the final sprint. Weber matched Vettel's results in the first two timing periods, but unfortunately the third timing point was behind by 0.3 seconds.

Instead, Rosberg was the closest to Vettel, just 0.09 seconds off the front row.Bu Zelu beat Webb at the last moment to grab the third place.

As soon as such a result came out, both Red Bull and Mercedes were thankful and anxious at the same time. The cars of the two teams were staggered in qualifying. How to cooperate with tactics at this time is a big problem.

"Damn, I ran so fast today, and I have to be interviewed later!" Bu Zeli was reluctant after getting out of the car and learning about his results.

"Don't tell me that you didn't want to run with all your strength before, just to avoid interviews!" Niki Lauda happened to pass by, and when he heard Bu Zelu's words, he looked at Bu Zelu with contempt.

Such a freshman star is unwilling to be interviewed, what a lie, this guy has always been the top traffic star in public opinion.

"Are you kidding? I didn't run well that time! It's all Alucard's fault." Bu Zelu curled his lips.

Davos Alucard is not even in the mood to take care of Bu Zelu. After more than half a year of cooperation, the team's adjustment of Bu Zelu's car has been completely simplified.

There is no need to go back and adjust the settings after running a lap or two in Q3 like before. The various settings of the current racing car have already been recorded.

Regardless of whether it will rain tomorrow or not, it is almost a fool's job to adjust some data and the ratio of car parts.

After all, there is historical data.

No, today the team didn't even ask Bu Zelu if it would rain tomorrow, but in fact, in the three practice sessions, they mostly used hard tires for testing.

And in this way, the plagiarism of Red Bull next door is also very obvious. The two teams now have no reservations and are staring at each other.

As for Ferrari and Lotus, which were BIG-4 at the beginning of the season, these two teams have to admit that there is a gap between them and the first two teams.

After a brief rinse and a change of clothes, Bu Zelu followed the other drivers to accept post-race interviews.

Bu Zelu, who was sitting on the side, looked at the two drivers next to him yawning from time to time with a look of envy on his face, NND, Singapore is a night race.

The qualifying session ended at 10 o'clock. For an athlete who maintains a healthy schedule, this session should drink a glass of milk and take an early rest.

On the other hand, Bu Zelu was very energetic, so he almost told the media, let's go, let's get excited at the nightclub!
"Joye, we learned from the Internet that the reason why you didn't participate in the two practice sessions yesterday was because you were playing games?"

"Really? I'll take a look later!" Bu Zelu played with his fingernails in boredom and didn't look at the camera.

"Then why didn't you participate in the two practice sessions yesterday? Is there any conflict with the team? We took some photos of you arguing with one of the team's engineers."

"Really? I'll ask later!" Bu Zelu leaned on his chin and looked at the reporters in the audience, searching with his eyes that could not find beauty, "This group of reporters is not good, and there are not many beautiful ones." '

Seeing Bu Zelu's attitude, the media felt helpless. Hack him, I don't know how many times, don't hack him, it will make them feel very uncomfortable.

Nima, can't you cooperate?

"joye, in this year's competition, your performance at the beginning of the season was very good. This time you return to Asia again, can you have the same performance as you did at the beginning of the season?"

"Really? Let's take a look when the results are out!" Bu Zelu continued to answer with his standard question-and-answer formula.

The FIA ​​press officer looked helpless, and hurriedly arranged for a familiar reporter to ask questions about the other two drivers. If this stupid question continues, everyone will go berserk.

Finally finished the post-match news interview, Bu Zelu was the first to dodge people resolutely, and his face changed from the poker face after the interview, and he was almost too happy.

The media watched Bu Zelu hook Rosberg's shoulders, and the two walked backstage talking and laughing.

Normally, after the post-race interview, the team will organize a small internal discussion, but it is too late today.

The team informed the two people that they were having a meeting before noon tomorrow.

Rosberg was actually dissatisfied when he heard the news. He knew very well that this was another starting tactic for the team.

But he was also puzzled, no matter whether it was qualifying or practice, his results were far higher than Bu Zelu, but he started to pull his hips as soon as the main race came.

He was looking for the reason, the team was helping him to find the reason, and even the media was helping Rosberg to find the reason, but in the end analysis, it can only be attributed to luck.
