The rules of the second qualifying session are the same as those of the first quarter, with the fastest lap being compared. www.biquge.info A total of 16 cars will qualify for the second session, of which 10 will enter the third qualifying session and 6 cars will be eliminated, and the 6 eliminated cars will start from 11th to 16th place according to their results.

Unlike the first qualifying session, the second qualifying session lasted only 15 minutes, which was five minutes less than the first quarter.

If some teams were eliminated in the first qualifying session, then the teams in the middle of the second session were eliminated in the second qualifying session.

For the mid-range teams, if they want to make it to the third quarter, they have to fight to reduce the weight with less fuel and use softer tires to increase speed. Once they do that, they will be able to threaten those convoys upstream.

In order not to be squeezed out of position by these midstream teams, even a top team like Ferrari will choose the same tactic, add less fuel to reduce the weight of the car, and cooperate with softer tires to ensure that they can enter the third quarter smoothly, after all, under the same configuration, the performance of the first-class team still has an advantage.

With light oil and soft tires, the second quarter of qualifying will also have the best results in the entire qualifying session. On the contrary, it was the third session of qualifying, because of the need to add race fuel, the drivers' results would be worse.

When the pit lane opened, the second qualifying session officially began, and Ferrari's Raikkonen took the lead, and sure enough, it was the ultra-soft tyres used. He ran a time of 1:25.380 on the first time lap, improving his time by 0.5 seconds.

That's the effect of the super soft tyres, which are indeed 0.5 seconds faster than the medium tyres.

The next few drivers all ran under 1 minute and 25 seconds with ease, such as Toyota's Trulli, who also made changes to the diffuser, ran a good time of 1:25.265.

Red Bull Racing's Webber ran a good time of 1:25.241. There was a round of applause at the scene, because Webb is a local Australian driver, and some fans even began to chant "Webb first".

It's just that this sound has just come out, and the Kubica of the BMW Sauber team ran 1:25.152. This was followed by Red Bull Racing's Sebastian Vettel's 1:25.121 to set the fastest lap by 0.001 seconds.

Red Bull Racing seems to be used to this set of super-soft tyres, which are a lot faster than on medium tyres.

Zhang Guan and Barrichello, whose first two time laps were blocked by slow cars, were in the top 10, but they were not very safe, so they still raced on the track.

"Whoosh!" Barrichello crossed the timer at the finish line, the first time lap he had made without being blocked in front.

"1:24.783! Barrichello ran under 1 minute and 25 seconds, the first time of the day under 1 minute and 25 seconds! The Chinese Power team won the first place again! The narrator's voice was full of surprise.

At this time, the camera involuntarily switched to Zhang Guan, because at this time, the director had realized that the only one who could surpass Barrichello might be his teammate Zhang Guan!

It is the first time that the car of China Power has gained such attention, and it is the first time that Zhang Guan has obtained such a long shot, and at this time, you can finally clearly appreciate Zhang Guan's driving, every acceleration, every braking, and every turn.

"The braking point was perfectly chosen, and the car was right on the edge when cornering, so the loss of speed was minimal!"

"This corner is a good limit, and the use of the shoulder is just right!"

"Shift to neutral sideslip! He actually turned corners this way! He makes full use of the steering neutral sideslip, so that the front of the car can be aimed exactly in the direction of the exit when the car exits the corner! ”

"Flowing clouds, this route is simply flowing water! This car, like a dancer, is dancing on the track! ”

"No wonder, no wonder he was able to surpass Ferrari so much in the first quarter! It turns out that Zhang Guan has such great driving skills. ”

People were amazed, especially some connoisseurs, who could see at a glance Zhang Guan's excellent driving skills and ability to predict the route.

However, in the eyes of professional drivers, Zhang Guan's driving is a different situation.

In Ferrari's command center, Schumacher looked shocked, his eyes widened as he looked at Zhang Guan on the track.

"Zhang's car tuning should be biased towards understeer, which fits Princeton's tires well, you see, he uses the tires' decreasing steering locks to maintain a very fast entry into corners, and his brakes are now decreasing. Shumi, this is the driving technique you invented! Ferrari's technical director, Dale, said.

Schumacher nodded: "Not only that, you listen to his throttle, it's progressive refueling, he's controlling the throttle!" ”

When Dale heard this, he couldn't help but scream: "You said that Zhang Guan knows how to control the driving style of the accelerator, which means that he will not completely release the accelerator?" Oh my goodness, this can't be! Since Senna's death, you've been the only one in the world who can do this! Did you hear it wrong? ”

Schumacher shook his head: "No, it can't be wrong, just because I am the only one in the world who can use this trick, I know that this is to control the throttle!" If it weren't for the control of the throttle, he would not have been able to control the neutral sideslip so well! You can see that his speed in cornering, centering speed and exit speed have almost reached the limit, which is definitely using the method of controlling the throttle! ”

The so-called "neutral sideslip" actually has a familiar name - drift! Professional riders call it neutral sideslip. We all know from watching some film and television dramas that if you want to turn quickly, you will choose to drift, and Formula 1, as the fastest car in the world, will naturally use this technology, but the drift of Formula 1 is not so obvious, and the driver's control tire lock is much better, ordinary people may not be able to see that the car is drifting at all. Imagine that if there was no drift, it would not be possible to change tires two or three times in a 300-kilometer race.

Drivers in Formula 1 will choose to brake the accelerator thoroughly, step on the accelerator to the end when accelerating, and completely relax when releasing the accelerator at the end of the straight, except for one person who is not like this, and that is Schumacher. Schumacher barely lets go of the throttle completely, even at the end of the straight, a technique that only Schumacher can master.

Schumacher once had a classic race, he suffered a gearbox failure in the race, the gear was in fifth gear, the car could not be shifted or downshifted, if the other drivers would definitely retire, but Schumacher only ran a few dozen laps in fifth gear, and he also won the second place in that race, and it was this technology of throttle control that he relied on. Just imagine, others loosen the throttle and step on the brakes when encountering a corner, decelerate and build a gear, while Schumacher only has a fifth gear, others are in second gear and third gear, and Schumacher is in fifth gear into the corner, the difficulty can be imagined.

That's why Schumacher was surprised, because he knew how difficult it was to master this driving technique. Just the right braking point, extreme cornering, excellent line selection, these are all things that other good drivers can do, but this ability to control the throttle, but his unique skill, especially after Senna's death, Schumacher is sure that no one can do it. And today, his unique skills actually appeared on Zhang Guan's body.

At this time, on the field, Zhang Guan also crossed the counter at the finish line.

"1:24.688! China's power has completely run a time of less than 1 minute and 25 seconds, and Zhang Guan is the first again! Zhang Guan won the first place in the second quarter of the practice match! (To be continued.) )
