End of the Century Talented Racer

Chapter 230 Exceeding Expectations
"Hopefully tomorrow I'll have a better start in the race, a clean first lap, and then achieve what the team wants to achieve."

Dongsheng driver Daniel got the third place in the qualifying race, and finally started from the sixth place because of the penalty.For such a performance, Daniel believes that the Bingcheng racing car has more advantages in both corners and straight lines, especially in the high-speed corners of the third timing period, Dongsheng racing car lost a lot of time.

"Bingcheng Racing is too fast here, especially the ultra-high-speed corners like Turn [-] and [-]. Because Bingcheng Racing can bring more speed than us in Turn [-], so it will accelerate in the subsequent straight line. China is also obviously faster than us. Bingcheng Racing is still the best car in qualifying, and they have performed very well in the past two qualifying races. But we still have a chance to come back. Dongsheng still needs to learn from the successful experience of its opponents Get inspired."

After the qualifying session in Austria, two drivers of Xingjiao Racing Team expressed disappointment with the performance of the team's upgraded car, and believed that the upgrade provided little help.The upgrade was previously tested at last week's French grand prix and was greatly appreciated by the F1 team leader.

However, the newly-upgraded drivers only won any special positions in qualifying, and both lost to the Porter team.

Alex bluntly said: "You won't notice the extra performance at all. We need bigger changes, changes that are big enough that we can feel it."

And when Alex's teammate Baxter was asked if he used the new mode, he replied: "Yes, but everyone has a qualifying mode. Once you get to qualifying, everyone There are extra features, but obviously we have no advantage."

However, the technical director of Xingjiao reminded the drivers after Friday's practice session that the upgrade should not be regarded as the so-called "Party Mode".In addition, he also revealed that Xiaojiao will gradually improve their model in the rest of this season.

After qualifying in Austria, all the teams expressed their shock at Thunder's strong performance here.

Thunder Racing driver Zhang Yue will start between the two Leysins today. In addition, Dongsheng Racing Team’s Daniel was given a three-place penalty. Zhang Yue will start fifth in the race.

"We performed very well," Zhang Yue said. "I want to see how fast our car goes at the end of the year. It would be nice to be fifth and we'll see how close we can get to the other teams."

"I was in shock," said Alfredo of Leysin II. "From one weekend to the next, we knew they were going to be quick, but it would be impressive to go that fast."

Baxter believes he's anticipating Porter to do well here, as Porter was strong in Austria in 2101 and has been extremely competitive at other high-speed circuits this season.And Baxter believes that this should not be regarded as an accidental performance, and you need to be more vigilant.

Alex said that after Paul Ricard, he felt Potter's super performance.He added: "It was confirmed yesterday and we're pretty far off."

Gu Gaoyuan said Porter put pressure on competitors.Asked if he was surprised by such a performance, Gu Gaoyuan replied: "Of course, in yesterday's qualifying session, their performance. That speaks for itself, doesn't it?"

Gu Gaoyuan's team-mate He Guangyuan admitted that Porter's form meant his team could lose the edge at a critical point in the season.He Guangyuan said: "We have many races that will determine who goes first in the leaderboard. It is important that we not lose to those teams."

After taking the pole position at the Austrian Grand Prix, Ice City Racing's Seaver is more eager to break the championship drought in Sunday's race, but he hopes to have a clean start and pass the first corner smoothly.

In the French Grand Prix a week ago, Seavir, who was second to start, was hit by Daniel who rushed behind him in the first turn, which caused damage to the bottom plate of the car and affected the result.

Seaver hopes he can make a good start, but at the same time said that as long as it is "normal", it does not need to be as amazing as last year.

"It's a relatively short distance to turn one, so I think it's just a normal start," Seaver said. There's a big difference in performance at the start. So, my goal is to make a good start."

"We just need a clean start, nothing spectacular, a hero at Turn One and then fight for the win. I can guarantee that I want to win more than anyone, so I will give it my all. "

When the Austrian race started, the local weather in Austria was sunny, the atmospheric temperature was 22 degrees Celsius, and the track temperature was as high as 48 degrees Celsius.

Then the game kicked off at this station.After a round of warm-up laps, start off!Seaver, who started from the pole position, did not start well, and the tires spun a bit. Stewart took the opportunity to seize the top position. Santak started very well, and once surpassed Seaver to come to the second place. Daniel's ranking also improved, but the two Drivers from Dongsheng rushed out at the 3rd turn, which caused Daniel's ranking to drop sharply, and Santak's rhythm was also affected. Xi Weier overtook his compatriots at the 4th turn and returned to the second place. There was obviously some problem with Santak's speed, and he was quickly overtaken by Tesrock behind him and slipped to fourth, while Daniel's ranking once fell to eighth.

On lap 3, Daniel surpassed Wesley consecutively and rose to the sixth place. His performance in overtaking Wesley at Turn 6 was very exciting.Stewart quickly extended his lead to more than 4 second. By the 1th lap of the race, Stewart had already lapped the last Delacro.At this time, the top five drivers on the track were Stewart, Silver, Tesrock, Santak and Zhang Yue, while the two Citro drivers Altaïr and Delacro were at the bottom.

By the 10th lap of the race, Stewart's lead had expanded to more than 2 seconds, and Zhang Yue had gradually caught up with Santak in front of him, and could launch an attack in the DRS area.On the 12th lap, Alex suddenly burst the cylinder, and the car even burst into flames. He became the first driver to retire today.On the 14th lap, Seaver's car suffered a hydraulic failure, and he had no choice but to withdraw from the race. He won the championship here last year, but ended up withdrew this year.A virtual safety car was deployed immediately.

Many drivers seized this opportunity to complete their first pit stop, and the two Dongsheng drivers put on soft tires, which means that they are likely to adopt a one-stop strategy.
