The tires and the engine are the two most important components of a racing car, because they are not only related to the speed of the car, but also to wear and tear. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 Nine times out of ten, the sensors on the info race car are checking the performance of these two components.

For this year's Formula 1 cars, the tires were supplied by Princestone, which supplied the team with a total of six tires, four dry tires and two rain tires.

There are four types of dry-ground tyres, including ultra-soft, soft, medium and hard, and only two of them will be available for the team to choose from at each race. For example, the Australian station uses super soft and medium tires, but no soft and hard tires.

When the tires are working at their best, the softer the tires, the better the grip, and the better the grip of the tires, the faster the speed. But there is also a disadvantage of soft tires, that is, they wear out quickly, when the tires wear to a certain extent, the grip will gradually disappear, and when cornering, it will get out of control, and the driver is forced to reduce the speed.

As for the two types of rain tires, they are used when it rains, namely medium rain tires and heavy rain tires, the heavy rain tires have more lines, the stronger the drainage ability, and the less likely it is to slip, but the slower the speed.

Soft tyres run faster than hard tyres, and if you use the data, the difference between the softest ultra-soft tyres and the hardest hard tyres can be about 1 second in a lap. And the gap between the super soft tires and the medium tires must also be more than half a second. The half-second gap is very important in qualifying for the fastest speed.

For a big team like Ferrari, their car performance is good enough, and the driver's skill is good enough, so even if they use neutral tires to run the first qualifying session, they can easily qualify, so in the first qualifying session, the big teams tend to use harder tires to avoid too much wear and tear on the soft tires, and they have to leave the soft tires for the second and third quarters.

For small teams, the performance of their cars is mediocre, and the level of drivers is average, and if they want not to be eliminated, they must use faster soft tyres. For a race car that could be eliminated at any moment, tire wear is nothing.

Force India is racing on super-soft tyres, they were the penultimate last year, and they would normally be eliminated in the first round, so they went straight to the super-soft tyres to improve their speed. Even so, their results were still a cut short of those of Ferraris on medium tyres. Force India is currently running over 1:27 on laps, while Ferrari's Raikkonen ran an easy 1:26.615 on the first time lap.

The Williams team won first place three times in a row in the practice session, which gave them a lot of confidence, so they started the race on medium tyres, but the reality was mercilessly slapped in the face, and after a few laps, Ferrari and other big teams easily brushed the time to less than 1 minute and 26 seconds, and the Williams team was on the verge of elimination.

This is the sadness of the small team, using soft tires to outrun other people's hard tires. In practice, the big teams didn't give their best at all.

The Williams team made their way back to the pits and switched into supersoft tyres to run laps.

In this case, everyone felt that the Chinese power team should use super-soft tires. After all, it's a new team, and it's already thankful that it won't be eliminated in the first quarter, so you should go for it with faster supersoft tyres.

However, what everyone didn't expect was that Zhang Guan actually ran out of the pit area with neutral tires.

"Neutral tires? The new team is ready to give up qualifying! Maybe they knew they would be at the bottom of the rankings, so they simply broke the jar and gave up on themselves! A fan at the scene spoke.

"It's impossible, if it's a broken jar, it's better to stay in the pit lane and not come out, so that even the neutral tires will be saved." I guess they want to do two laps on the medium tyres first, and after a while, they'll definitely switch to the soft tyres. A man next to him spoke.

After a brief moment of surprise, attention was drawn to the big teams of Ferrari and McLaren, who were the focus of the race.

McLaren's two cars returned to the garage after just a few laps, as if they were confident in their results, along with Renault's Alonso. On the track, Ferrari's Raikkonen had improved his time to under 1 minute and 26 seconds.

Raikkonen clocked 1:25.899, which is the fastest lap time ever, and he's still on medium tyres, so it's not a Ferrari! Although their performance in the practice match was average, when it came to the main match, they were really not ambiguous at all, and they showed their real strength. The narrator exclaimed.

The audience also applauded, after all, it was Ferrari, which had the most fans in Formula 1, and it was expected that they would win the first place.

Omi looked at the ranking of the results, and felt a little anxious.

Force India's two cars are currently ranked 16th and 17th respectively, and if they finish the race according to this ranking, one of the cars will be eliminated by Force India.

"We've got to go a little bit faster, we're only 0.15 seconds away from 15th place, so maybe we can break into the top 16! If you really can't do it, change to another set of super soft tires and go up and fight! ”

As Omi was thinking, the drivers' rankings were refreshed again, with two of the Force India's cars moving to 17th and 18th.

"One more step back, who has overtaken?" Omi was the first to look at sixteenth, which was Renault's Piquet.

"Piquet was the fifteenth just now, and he was also squeezed down!" Omi then looked up, Kazuki Nakajima, Webb, Trulli, Glock, Alonso, Vettel, Rosberg...... All of them were familiar to him, and their relative positions did not change, but they collectively stepped back one place.

"Someone ran to the front...... "Omi then looked up, his eyes finally staying at the top, the number one position.

"What!" Omi's mouth opened wide in surprise.

……

The television broadcast was focused on Scuderia Ferrari's Massa.

Massa was last year's runner-up, losing to Hamilton by just one point, when in fact he could have won the title, but a low-level mistake by the team cost him the final title. So it can be said that Massa is also a driver with championship quality.

The quality of the championship combined with being in the Scuderia Ferrari was certainly the focus of the game, and his team-mate Raikkonen had just set the fastest lap, so the camera was always on Massa.

Massa was running his own timing lap, and about 500 meters behind Massa, there was also a red car, which was Zhang Guan, who was also running his own timing lap. It's just that there is a Ferrari Massa in front, so no one cares about Zhang Guan in the back.

How can a new team compare to Ferrari's attention?

In the car, Massa's attention was all on the track, and he navigated Turn 16 before sprinting with all his might.

"Massa's timing laps...... 1:25.844! First! Massa overtook his teammate Raikkonen to take first place, and Ferrari took first and second place! In yesterday's practice, the Ferrari were mediocre, but when it came to the race, they were still the strongest. The narrator spoke.

Massa had already crossed the timing point of the finish line, but the broadcast camera was still aimed at him, and as for Zhang Guan in the back, there was not even half a picture, but a Zhang Guan timer appeared in the lower right corner of the TV.

Massa was still focused in the car, when the team's voice came from the headphones.

"Philip, you can slow down, protect your tires. Come back the next time you enter the pits! Well done, you've just overtaken Raikkonen. The headset sounded the business of the team's technical director, Dell.

"Oh, then I'm number one now, right?" Massa asked.

"Of course, of course you are the first...... Kindness? What the! Dale exclaimed.

"What's wrong?" Massa asked in surprise.

"Uh, Philip, you're second!" Dale spoke.

"Second? Has anyone exceeded it? Who is it? Haven't Hamilton and Alonso both returned to the pits? Who can still run first? Is it Sebastian Vettel? Massa asked, a little annoyed. When you go down for a few seconds, anyone will feel annoyed.

"Someone has surpassed you! The first is Zhang Guan! Dale spoke.
