End of the Century Talented Racer

Chapter 175 Climax at the beginning?
In today's qualifying race, Daniel took the fastest laps in Q1 and Q2, but in the critical Q3, he could only witness Stewart go away. Daniel unexpectedly changed to soft tires at the last moment to sprint, and finally Also only get No.3.

After the race, Daniel said that he was satisfied with his performance in the last speeding lap, but he also expected that Bingcheng would have an amazing speed: "I locked my tires in the first speeding lap of Q3, but I am very satisfied with my last speeding lap." I am very satisfied with the laps. Unfortunately, I did not improve my ranking. We expected that Bingcheng will be very strong. They have some advantages in tires, but our speed in the race has always been very fast, so we still let the We'll see what happens tomorrow and I'm going to enjoy it."

Santak also gave up the super soft tires at the last moment of Q3 today and used soft tires for sprinting. He said after the race that No.4 was basically in line with pre-race expectations: "We knew after the practice session that qualifying must be very Difficult, being able to get No.4 is basically in line with our pre-race expectations, we all know that overtaking here is difficult, but we are still looking forward to the performance in the race.”

The two drivers of Leysin won No.5 and No.6 respectively today. After the race, they admitted that it was difficult to catch up with the leading ice city in this race. Virgil said: "This will be a difficult race for us. In the race, other teams have brought a lot of new things. Today's qualifying result is a reflection of the current strength of each team, and it is always difficult to overtake in the race here, so you can hardly expect too much drama in the race What we have to do is to drive the car smoothly, and when the opportunity arises, we will try our best to fight for it.”

Citroën has significantly upgraded their cars in this race, but their speed improvement does not seem to be obvious. Altaïr won No. 8 in today’s qualifying. After the game, he admitted that Citroën’s current strength is compared to Iceberg. Cheng, Dongsheng and Laisen are still one level behind: "Although this sounds a bit frustrating, it is the fact that we still cannot catch up with the teams in front. Today I have tried hard to fully utilize the speed of the car, but we We are still lagging far behind, and all we can do is continue to work hard. I hope to bring more happiness to the fans in the race, and they have always spared no effort to support me."

The last time Stewart won the pole position was in the last season. After coming to Spain, the most popular pole position is Daniel, who ranks first in the odds given by the bookmaker.

However, since the start of the practice session, Bingcheng has firmly gained the upper hand. In the three practice sessions, they took all the fastest laps. In the qualifying session, although Dongsheng had a slight advantage in Q1 and Q2, Stewart was in Q3. The advantage in the race is quite obvious. He set the record for the fastest lap on the track continuously, and finally successfully won his first pole position this season.

After the race, Stewart lamented that he had waited too long for this pole position: "I really need this pole position, because I haven't got a pole position for a while. Great, the atmosphere in Barcelona is always good, a lot of fans come to support me, even a lot of Spanish fans."

Seaver lost two consecutive races, and he saved his anger in this race. Although he did not get the pole position today, Seaver's performance was still remarkable. After the game, he said that he would try his best to help Bingcheng in the race Complete the 1+2 equation: "Today we are really close to Dongsheng's speed. In fact, it has been like this all week. In Q3, my first speed lap was not very ideal, so the second speed lap is not allowed. It's a pity that I'm 0.4 seconds away from pole position, but it's really good for the team to be able to take the front row. We will fight hard tomorrow and try to complete the 1+2 formula. In fact, we should have done it long ago. make it happen."

Due to the "total annihilation" prior to this, Vergil believes the team principal will speak to both drivers ahead of tonight's Spanish Grand Prix.

"I think he's definitely going to talk to the two of us before the race," Virgil said after qualifying. There's still some inconsistency, and it won't stop until he thinks we're calm enough with each other."

In addition, it can be seen from the decision of F1's exclusive tire supplier to choose the supersoft tire as the softest compound in this season's Spanish Grand Prix. They hope to add variables to the usual relatively dull Spanish Grand Prix.

However, due to the rapid depletion of supersoft tires, only Altaïr in the top ten chose to start with "red tires". For drivers who start with soft tires, the strategy of soft tires + medium tires is difficult to overtake. The Circuit de Catalunya would be the best choice.It can be seen that one stop will be the choice of most drivers.

When the main race started the next day, the track was cloudy, the atmospheric temperature was 15 degrees Celsius, and the track temperature was 34 degrees Celsius.There is a high chance of rain during the game.

Adonis from the El Salvador team and Katildan from the Leysin [-] team were both fined and moved back on the grid today, and they will start in the last row.

At 21:10 BJ time, the race kicked off at this station. After a warm-up lap, the race started!

Stewart started very smoothly and held his pole position. Daniel's start was very aggressive. He cut the line to attack Bottas, and he overtook and came to the second place when entering the first turn.

But unexpectedly, a serious accident occurred on the first lap of the race. Porter's Istel lost control of his car and rushed off the track. He turned the steering wheel sharply while trying to save his car, but This caused the car to spin, and Alex and Alfredo behind them had no time to dodge. The three cars collided violently, and the damage was very serious. They all had to withdraw from the race. Fortunately, the drivers were not injured.

The race immediately dispatched the safety car and announced that the accident would be investigated after the race.

Such an accident happened at the beginning of the game, which was never expected by everyone.

The race did not resume until the 6th lap. At this time, Seaver tried to overtake Daniel, but failed to get a chance. Altaïr then overtook Gu Gaoyuan and came to the 10th place. Stewart immediately made a fastest lap , leading Daniel by nearly 2 seconds.
