[Racing] King of Speed

In the first lap, Nair barely defended Garnett's attack. In the second and third laps, several laps in a row, always at the first turn, Garnett's repeated pressure finally made Nair lose his normal momentum. The rhythm of entering the corner is the same as that of Westbrook just now. When going downhill and going through the slow corner, he can’t stick to the apex of the first corner, but then there is a super long high-speed straight road in front of him, even if Garnett is not in the corner. After removing Nair, Nair couldn't keep his position on the big straight. Therefore, when Garnett made a move at this time, he naturally fell behind to fifth.

But the Austin track lacks grip more than everyone imagined. Garnett passed Neil, but he himself ran too far on the straight. Neil saw that he was busy and was at the end of the straight again. Duan took the position again.

After such back and forth fighting, the distance between them and the top three was slightly widened. However, they were not the only ones who had offensive and defensive battles on the field. Fren and Kaiser behind them were also secretly fighting each other. The car was obviously faster than his teammates, and Fren was blocked by Garnett and Nair in front, so he couldn't run his own rhythm.According to Oga's current trend of not going up or down, this year's team is already in fourth place, and it is impossible to pursue some big pursuits. Now only the driver's own small pursuits are left, and Fren and Kaiser and the two are biting very tightly in the driver's standings. Whoever wins one more place in the last two races may be able to squeeze forward a little bit at the end of the year. Realistically speaking, this will affect the team The bonus is paid out. Both of them will stay in the team next year. Now it will not make the scene as ugly as Satika's previous station in Japan, but it is still possible to have fair competition. Therefore, even if the speed is slightly slower Lun didn't intend to give in either.

You pushed and shoved on their side, and they also blocked the road of the mid-section racing cars headed by Huffman, so the three from Peel to Kinsey formed a small group of their own, and the fourth Nair became Cheng Locomotive took seven cars along the way and became another group. The piles of cars were crowded very tightly, which also virtually increased the difficulty of overtaking.Even better, take advantage of the fight, you take advantage of the loopholes to get two or three places, but on the contrary, you may also be the one to be taken... So, if you don't find the best overtaking At [-]:[-] p.m., no one made any aggressive moves for five or six laps.

Seeing this, the host couldn't help but said, "Before, Nair lost his speed because he was fighting with Garnett. Why is he running so slowly now that Garnett didn't attack?" The car could only follow him helplessly.

Rose hit the nail on the head, "Nair's speed at this stop is slow."

Why slow?

Nair also asked the team the same question in TR. As the locomotive of a small group, although the drivers behind are within one second of the attack range of the front car, DRS can be turned on, and Nair is three or four seconds away from Kinsey in front. Due to the distance, DRS cannot be used, but it should not be so slow, and it is still lagging behind.He asked the team to check to see if there was anything wrong with his car.

After a while, Maiya replied that everything was OK, but the temperature of the tires just couldn't get up.

In fact, Neil is not the only one who encountered this problem. Just look at the competition for the first three places. Pierre ran fairly smoothly, but Quinby's condition is obviously good in this round.Weiss was chasing very fast, eliminating the gap of 0.4 and 0.5 of Pierre in every lap and chasing. It seems that his tire temperature should be very suitable to achieve such a speed, and Weiss chose the DRS zone Make a move on Pirzeo.The result was the same as Garnett. He overtook Peel beautifully with textbook-like movements, but after passing, he couldn’t catch the ground. He drew a big circle and the left front wheel hit the grass. If it wasn’t for Jinxi behind him It doesn't matter, Weiss' second estimate will not be kept.

From this it can already be concluded that the car has pitifully little grip here.

The drivers have already reported similar problems after running down on Friday, but the long-distance fight in the race is not a practice race or a qualifying race. The essence of the race track can be seen through.

If there is no grip and cannot stick to the apex, how can you overtake?Everyone is almost equivalent to the effect of running dry tires on a rainy day.And everyone is still using medium tires. If they change to hard tires after a stop, won't the car slip and fly while running?

No, many drivers have already complained to the team in TR that the car cannot overtake, cannot go fast, and cannot drive.

But if you think about it, you have to continue. Since everyone's situation is the same, whoever can overcome it first will be able to take advantage of it.

From the perspective of the field, the veterans are still bold and careful. After the attack failed, Weiss challenged Pirzeo again without giving up. He is now the last in the championship group in the standings. Fighting, the hope of winning can only be more slim.

Therefore, after maintaining a steady rhythm for two laps, Weiss chose to make a move on the last big straight when he was close enough to Pirzeo, which is also a DRS zone. The same people will also be encountered, and obviously Weiss came prepared this time, Pierre swayed the body slightly and couldn't stop Weiss's tap, so he had to seriously walk the defensive line, so Accidentally slipped slightly, and then the first position was snatched away!

"Awesome!" The host shouted immediately, not because Weiss' overtaking is so beautiful, but - "Finally someone dares to overtake!"

Weiss's action seemed to open a gate again, and the momentum of the once-closed struggle on the field was ignited again, and a new battlefield was opened from the small group in the middle of Neil.

Kaiser saw that the teammate in front of him had a slightly longer cornering route, so he directly pulled his car to the outside line, and then squeezed in front of Fren from the outside with the help of two inward bends in front. Fren had a But in the end, because of peace, he gave up the fight to kill the red eye, and just let Kaiser pass.

There was a wave in the back, and Janit also showed his dagger. When Kaiser moved, Neil was guarding against the car behind, but although everyone's tires were rejected by Austin, Neil's tires seemed to be even worse. Liked by the American station, Garnett swayed from side to side in the back. Neil was not sure which lane he was going to take, and finally gritted his teeth and hit the left...

In the end, he gambled wrong!

... Garnett took the left line.

F1 race rules clearly stipulate that the car in front is not allowed to change lanes twice when defending, that is to say, the car behind changes back and forth, changing from left to right. You can only change the lane once, and you can go wherever you want. You are allowed to change out and return to the original position, but it is not allowed to continue changing, and you must leave a car body distance for the other party to overtake. Otherwise, you will also follow the chaos, and it will be strange if the two cars do not collide.

Therefore, if Nair was wrong, he was wrong. It was not only too late to pull the front of the car that had slid out and run in the opposite direction, but it was also a violation. All he could do was watch Garnett pass by.

The two are both competitors for the championship. It is conceivable that Nair suffered a lot of losses this time, but fortunately he still has a chance, and the team immediately reminded him in TR, let him calm down, and then come back again. Find a way.

There are many shots of overtaking on the field, but most of them are you passing me, and I will overtake in the next second. You come and I go back and forth. The safety facilities on the new track are very complete. It’s okay to go out and lose a few positions and then come back. It’s not to the point of triggering the safety car, and such a wonderful and chaotic race is obviously the audience’s favorite. I lost the director, kept switching screens, and was in a hurry.

Suddenly, Rose watched a prominent red "P" appear next to the list of drivers at the bottom of the screen, which meant that a driver had entered the P zone.

"Change tires?" he called.

"Who is so?" The host asked quickly, "Why change tires at this time?"

The director also noticed this, and immediately cut the camera, everyone was surprised, "Wes?"

Weiss in? !

"So early? Did he put on medium tires? Is he planning to stop twice?" Rose didn't understand.

"Two stops?" The host couldn't believe it, "It's obvious that the temperature of the fetus still couldn't rise before?" Why did it suddenly stop twice?

The photographer understood everyone's questions, and after Weiss got out of the station, he carried the camera and zoomed in on the tire that Weiss had replaced.

"Exhausted?"

I saw that the rubber surface of the intermediate tire replaced by Weiss had delaminated and granulated.

"The tires with no grip, just ran away silently?"

Rose frowned, "I don't know if this is the case for everyone, or Weiss' individual problem."

There are a total of 55 laps at the Austin track, and the current race has run nearly 25 laps. If the normal first stop should be around 26 to [-], or seven laps, Weiss' premature stop is obviously the second stop.

So the next few laps are the key. If everyone pits, it means that Weiss’ situation is understandable. If everyone still drags to the middle to change tires, Weiss’s stop will be very bad.

However, after lap after lap, Huffman slid out three times and slid back three times, but he still had no intention of pitting.

The host looked at Weiss, who fell out of the top ten, and couldn't help sighing, "Tsk, the road ahead for Quinby's No. [-] driver to win the championship has suddenly become dark..."

He just finished sighing, and Kinsey, who was leading at the other end, suddenly launched an attack on Pirzeo in front, as if responding to him.I don't know when, he has unknowingly stuck behind Pierre, and it is very close, because he chose an unusual overtaking point at all, even if Pierre was vigilant, he was a little caught off guard.
