[Racing] King of Speed

However, Kaiser was last year's WDC (World Driver Championship/world champion), how could it be so easy to be picked off by Kinsey, and it was still at a non-overtaking point, so the two played against each other twice, and Kinsey failed to take the position. On the contrary, the top three have run far away, but fortunately, Reading behind has no tendency to catch up.

Because the rules stipulate that both types of tires provided by the tire manufacturer must be used, and because Q3 wants to improve the lap time, most drivers choose soft tires that are more suitable for the track and have grip, so the start is now , the top ten drivers are running with soft tires, and the drivers who did not enter Q3 yesterday did not plan to kill the people in front of them as soon as they started, so many drivers started with medium tires, which consume slowly , you can postpone the time of entering the station to change tires, and the tactical changes are more active. We will see how others change before we make preparations.

The advantage of the soft tire is that it heats up quickly and the lap speed is fast, but the disadvantage is that it wears out quickly. After running for about ten laps, the tire begins to fail. Once the soft tire fails, the speed is definitely not as fast as the medium tire. At that time, the driver As long as you can drag it, you can drag it. If you can’t drag it, you can only stop and change the tire.

When a car enters the maintenance area from the track to change tires, it will naturally pass through a section of passage in the maintenance area. In this passage, the FIA ​​has regulations to limit the speed, otherwise everyone will run into the maintenance area at the same speed as on the field. , it must be too dangerous. Anyone who speeds in the maintenance area will be fined and time-penalized, or even a position penalty. Therefore, counting the speed limit and changing tires, basically a pit stop time will consume 25 seconds to 30 seconds. In about a second, after coming out and returning to the track, the tire temperature dropped again, and it took half a lap to run the speed to get it back.

Therefore, the general teams try their best to compress the number of pit stops as much as possible, but the exhaustion of tires is no matter how ideal you think.Just like now, Kinsey's tires are the fastest to wear out among the top ten drivers. First, he and Kaiser in front fought too much and suffered too much wear and tear. Second, the tires of his car The performance characteristics are like this, the tire heats up extremely fast, so he can have an advantage at the start, and kill so many people in front whose tire temperature has not yet risen, but the temperature is too high, and the relative wear is faster than others.

Counting that only thirteen or four laps have passed, the entire Australian Grand Prix will run a total of 58 laps. Kinsey will stop again to change soft tires, and then come out to run thirteen or four laps. At that time, there are still three laps left in the race. Ten laps, even if he used medium tires for the last stretch, he might not be able to complete the [-] laps with this set of tires.

What should we do now?

Hold on.

Kinsey's track engineer told Kinsey the same way in TR (TeamRadio, radio communication), "I can't come back now, and I have to stay on the track for a few laps, but the lap speed should not be too slow, and we must pay attention to protecting the tires. .”

It is impossible for Kaiser to be ahead at the moment, and Kinsey can't slow down to let the people behind catch up slowly, and at the same time, he has to protect the tire. What is this called? It's called running and running. Do not eat grass.

Kinsey thought for a moment and said, "I'm going in."

His track engineer paused, and after a while, the team leader Rory's voice sounded, and he asked Kinsey if he was sure he wanted to make a pit stop?Tires can't hold up at all?Kinsey said it could last, but he thought it would be best to stop.Rory replied after a while, "Then come in on the next lap."

For the sake of the excitement of the race, the TV broadcaster will choose the TR of the team with certain content to broadcast publicly for the audience to listen to. However, this section of Kinsey happened to be covered by the TR of the two mid-range team drivers who almost bumped into each other. Passed by, when he suddenly turned into the maintenance area after running a lap, everyone was a little surprised, because the pit stop time was obviously very early.

The Quinby team's channel switching speed has always been strong, and it was perfectly resolved in three seconds. Jin Xi was allowed to drive on the track again, and the exit window they chose was also very good. There is no slow car, and he can do free laps on the track with his new tires.

Although Kinsey fell to No.10 in the ranking because of a pit stop to change tires and then returned to the race, but because the drivers in front would have to go in sooner or later, his position was not lost because of this, and in these two or three laps, After Kinsey's tire temperature came up, he kept setting the fastest lap time. When the Oga team found out that the situation was not good and recruited Kaiser to change tires, it was already too late.Kaiser's tire changing speed was not slow, but when he returned to the track, Kinsey's car had already passed the maintenance area, and he was overtaken by Kinsey because he pitted later than the opponent.

At this time, there was a burst of cheers in the P room of the Quinby team. This is a very beautiful undercut tactic. Take the initiative to attack and hit it!

The so-called Undercut, literally speaking, means coming from behind and cutting you off from behind.Because there is such a saying in Formula One, if a rear car follows the front body within a distance of one or two seconds for a long time, but has not been thrown away, theoretically, the rear car's absolute The speed is faster than that of the car in front, because the rear wing of the car in front will cause a series of wake disturbances, and the characteristics of the track make the car in the back close, but it cannot get closer or overtake, so at this time, Just change a set of tires for the rear car, and change to a field that is not blocked by the car in front, and it will definitely be faster than you...

The tactics used by Kinsey are like two people on a single-plank bridge, one in front is walking, and the other is riding a bicycle in the back. It took time to eat, so Kinsey stopped and sat down to eat. When he finished eating, there was a distance in front of him, which was enough for him to run on his bicycle, and when Kaiser also sat down to eat and After eating, Kinsey had already taken this opportunity to pass, and Kaiser could only follow behind him.

Facts proved this to be true. After Kaiser returned to the track, he could no longer keep up with Kinsey's speed. In a blink of an eye, there was a gap of three or four seconds between the two.

As soon as the two entered the station, other drivers on the field also started the prelude to 1stop (first truce), because there was enough distance between Nair and No.4, Kaiser, that even Kinsey now took Kaiser's place and set the fastest laps for two more laps. Neil was still five or six seconds ahead of him when he entered and came out. Kinsey could not catch up with him in a short time, but Neil was far away Fren in front was getting closer and closer.

Sislera's car is really good this year. Although the soft tire lap speed is not as fast as Kinsey's car, but once the temperature reaches the sweet spot, it is not slow at all, and the consumption is not as fast as Kinsey. Neil After exiting the station, he changed to soft tires. On the contrary, Satika's Fren had other tactical considerations. He is now using medium tires, and his speed is naturally not as fast as Nair. In less than two laps, Nair It's stuck behind him.

Fren naturally saw the apple green in the rearview mirror, so he swung the front of the car outwards and started to walk the defensive line.After two corners, the DRS zone was ushered in. Sislera, who had been pulled away for a short distance because of the curve, approached again. However, although there were two DRS zones in the Australian station, the straight road In a very short period of time, Neil just passed the DRS overtaking line when he smelled Fren's gasoline, so he could only wait for the next lap, and just wasted two or three laps, but Neil failed to do so, so he obviously had some problems I'm in a hurry, I don't want to wait for DRS, but I have to do it at non-overtaking points.

Although Fren is only in his 20s, he must have more experience on the track than Nair. Facing Nair's rampage, Fren seemed much calmer. In the end, he didn't even bother to make any moves. He knew that Nair make life difficult for.

Finally, Nair's TR rang, and a cold voice came directly from inside, cursing, "Stay there!"

At that moment, everyone was a little stunned, and it took a while for the host of CCC in the studio to realize, "Who is that...?"

Rose's expression was stiff, and then he forced out a smile, "It should be Huibi Moore?"

The host looked horrified, "How could there be a designer giving orders to the drivers in TR?" Generally, the track engineer is not in charge of this tactical consideration, at most it is the team leader's speech, and there are almost no designers to intervene. , and also used this tone of training his son...
