End of the Century Talented Racer

Chapter 183 Is it skinny?
Vergil slowed down his speed, but finally successfully won the pole position of this race. Daniel won No.2 and will start in the front row tomorrow, followed by Stewart, Santak and Silver, Zhang Wyatt was sixth, while Altaïr was seventh.

Before coming to Morocco, the winning odds given by the bookmaker were the biggest favorites in this race, but after coming to Monte Carlo, Leysin had a tendency to go all the way. Virgil won three free practice games He took all the fastest laps. In qualifying, his performance was still eye-catching. He ranked first in the three quarters. The amazing lap of 3:1 in Q10 was enough to make all opponents desperate. Daniel was in the last lap Chasing desperately, but still lagging behind Vergil by more than 810 seconds.

In Sunday's main race, Virgil is undoubtedly the favorite to win the championship, because the downforce advantage of the Leysin car is really obvious, and there are not enough overtaking opportunities in this race.In fact, if there is no accident at the first corner after the start, Virgil only needs to avoid accidents in the race, and he should be able to bring back his second championship of the season.

The two Dongsheng drivers and the two Bingcheng drivers just formed a cross position. The competition between Daniel and Stewart should still be fierce, but neither of the two teams will show a "death" posture in this game. After all, the Leysen team It seems that the advantage of China is indeed difficult to shake. Perhaps what they have to do in the game is to put stability first-if they do not see a chance to compete for the championship, then they will try their best to avoid accidents and strive to minimize the loss of points.

There is another character to watch in the main race, that is Tesrock, the young Leysen crashed in the third practice and caused a red flag, which caused serious damage to the car. In addition, Leysen had to change the gearbox for him, which meant that Tesrock could only start from the last place.With the advantage of Leysin Racing here, Tesrock will definitely be impatient to stage a crazy overtaking show, but Monaco has never been an easy overtaking race, what kind of performance will Tesrock have in the race?Can he finally enter the points area?Will he have another accident because of being too impatient?All are worthy of the attention of car fans.

Altaïr of Citroën Racing Team has scored points in every race before. He ranked seventh in today's qualifying. The possibility of continuing to gain points in the race is very high; The performance of Kendrick, who has joined the team, is also worthy of attention.All in all, the Monaco Grand Prix is ​​exciting, both on and off the field. Not only the championship group, but all drivers are eager to leave their mark in the most special race of the year.

After his pole position in qualifying, Vergil said he had realized before qualifying that pole was a sure thing after his team-mate crashed in practice.Therefore, he only gradually established his own rhythm in qualifying, and completed a relatively satisfactory speeding lap at the last moment.

"On this track, chances come from taking risks, and Tesrock took too many risks in the morning. I knew we had to be the fastest car this week, so we didn't need to push the limits. That's the same as our We had a similar performance in Monaco and we didn't need to make too many adjustments for qualifying because we knew very well that our car was far ahead."

Daniel and Stewart, who finished second and third in qualifying in Monaco, said in the post-race press conference that they expected Vergil's pole position before the start of qualifying.

"We knew our car wasn't fast enough, so we knew what was going to happen this weekend. It wasn't a good feeling for me, but it was just a special race," Stewart said.

Daniel: "Vergil made people feel that he was hiding his strength throughout the weekend, so I felt that no one could shake his position before the start of qualifying. They showed unapproachable speed in practice on Thursday, And in qualifying I got the best result I could get."

Leyssen team manager asked Teslok to stop making mistakes in the next race.Teslok's crash in Saturday's third practice not only cost him the opportunity to participate in qualifying, but also caused the Leyssen team to lose a great opportunity to occupy the front row.He believes that after sitting through such a qualifying session, Teslok understood that he had to stop making mistakes immediately.

"Monaco is a 'sting' place. Tesrock got stung badly in practice, and when he found out that Leysin was the favorite at this circuit, he must have It's even harder. It's certainly sad for the team to lose a car in a good situation, so we hope he stops making mistakes sooner rather than later."

The ice city driver tried to use the purple ultrasoft tire to lap in the second quarter of qualifying, but the speed of the two drivers could not ensure that they entered Q3.Therefore, the manager of Bingcheng believes that the two Bingcheng racing cars that start the race with the softest tires may not be able to implement the one-stop strategy like their opponents.

“We thought that using the ultra-soft tire in Q2 would extend the distance before the race stop tomorrow. We found that the ultra-soft tire hardly degrades on this track, and once the softest tire does degrade it becomes very interesting. .We were within a tenth of a second of a start on the ultrasoft tyres, so we were a little bit concerned about the strategic challenges of the race."

Oddmet's Bepena says Leysin's Tesrock has "no long memory" and made the same mistakes he made in practice for this weekend's Monaco Grand Prix, proving Tesrock Not learning from mistakes.

"Those things happen. But if it happens before you make a mistake, it means you don't learn from your mistakes," Bepena said. "Mistakes can happen to anyone, although we all try very hard. To avoid it. But if it happens twice, it means you don't understand it."

Former F1 world champion Walderson also said that if Tesrock does not change his approach, it will be difficult for him to realize his potential in the race, which is obviously not good for him."He didn't take the risk correctly and that's what he paid for this weekend and now he's going to start last. So, if he keeps doing that, he'll never be champion," Walderson said.
