Chapter 935: Qualifying is off to a good start

For the 1986 season, the FIA further lowered the previous fuel limit of 220 litres per stop to 195 litres. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Info90 years ago, there was no limit to the number of laps per hour, and the car ran the best number of laps possible in one hour, and the first place was awarded pole position.

Niki Lauda didn't use the light fuel tactic when it came to rain or safety cars in Brazil.

Technical Director Clay was directing the engineering staff, nervously making the final adjustments to the car. Everyone in the convoy seemed nervous and calm, but everything was in order.

Lin Qiangsheng is very fortunate to have recruited a group of veterans, otherwise he would definitely not be so calm before the competition. In this state of mind of nervous anticipation, the time reached two o'clock, and the qualifying round started on time.

Everything was ready, with Bochen driving the East Star No. 1 and Alan Jones driving the No. 2 car.

The two cars sped off like white lightning, and the cars of the East Star Racing Team were blue on the top and black on the bottom, and the bright ones were very eye-catching for the race.

The engines of the cars of the various teams also made a loud roar, and they rushed out of the starting line like galloping horses.

The spectators on the opposite side also stood up excitedly, and the enthusiastic Brazilians gave the drivers the most enthusiastic encouragement.

Bochen performed very well in yesterday's test, starting in third order, and the Dongxing team went away, Lin Qiangsheng hurriedly ran into the communication center to observe the images captured by the cameras on the field.

Shi Xuping was also very excited to see him, and seized the time to interview and ask: "Lin Dong, what do you think of Bochen and Alan Jones' performance today?" ”

Lin Qiangsheng smiled at Shi Xuping: "I am still very optimistic about Bochen, he is very confident and very good, and his performance in the qualifying race is also eye-catching, and he has been closely following the first-class team." ”

"Ah, Bochen has been overtaken!" At this moment, Shi Xuping pointed to the screen and said.

Lin Qiangsheng hurriedly turned his head to look at the screen and asked the observer again. It turned out that at the very moment when the two were talking, Senna, the talented driver of the Lotus team, had overtaken Bochen at one turn and moved up to third place, while the No. 1 car of the East Star team had dropped to fourth place.

The first place was led by Williams-Honda's Mansell, who overwhelmingly dominated the second of his own driver, Piquet.

Lin Qiangsheng couldn't calm down, he left Shi Xuping and came to Niki Lauda's side, and looked at the veteran, who had a calm face, ignoring him and not speaking into the microphone.

Helplessly, Lin Qiangsheng asked the observer again: "Where is Alan Jones, how many are you?" ”

The observer pointed to a small screen and said, "Currently in 17th place." ”

Lin Qiangsheng shook his head and sighed secretly, it seems that Alan Jones is really old, there are a total of 28 participating teams, and the back are some little-known small teams, Alan Jones has reached the point where he is competing for the place with the last drivers.

"Don't drop the chain, Bochen, come on!" He said secretly in his heart.

But the sky is not as people wish, the F1 field is changing rapidly, and as soon as this idea came to mind, a bad voice came: "Bochen has been surpassed by Fabi again!" ”

"Followed by McLaren's Prost!"

Just as he was thinking about it, the situation arose again, and the two drivers passed Bochen's No. 1 car from one left and one to the right. This made Lin Qiangsheng completely crazy, and he shouted: "What, how can this be, Bochen, you drive me faster!" ”

His voice came out in the communication room, which showed that Lin Qiangsheng was really anxious and angry.

Maybe Bochen on the field heard Lin Qiangsheng's shouts, and he also began to fight back, following Prost to find a gap to overtake the past, but it was obvious that his car was a little shaky.

At this time, the veteran Alan Jones, who is in 17th place, also rose to rise to 16th place.

Niki Lauda grabbed the wireless telephone and said in a deep voice: "Bochen, hold on!" Calm down! Don't get excited, don't be distracted by other disturbances, you have a lot of potential, just keep it at this level! ”

I saw that the Dongxing No. 1 car in the field stabilized, and Bochen no longer tried to overtake dangerously, after all, Prost in front of him was also a highly skilled driver, and it was not easy to find an opportunity.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, Niki Lauda glanced at Lin Qiangsheng, and said a little unceremoniously: "Boss, if you do this again, please go out!" ”

"Uh-oh!" Lin Qiangsheng also felt as if he had made a mistake, and looked at everyone in embarrassment.

Technical Director Clay shook his head, pulled him to the door, and said, "Sir, the drivers are very nervous on the field, and any interference can be fatal. You have to know that even the worst drivers on the field have an average heartbeat of 165 or more, and some drivers have an average heartbeat of 185 or more in the first three laps. It's hard to be an F1 driver without a strong heart, drivers need to be highly focused, so please don't interfere with them, otherwise it's easy to get into an accident! ”

Lin Qiangsheng took a breath of cool air, nodded hurriedly and said, "I know, thank you for reminding me!" ”

Clay nodded and said with a smile, "You're welcome." To be honest, as a start-up team, it's good enough to have such a good performance, and it's enough for people to talk about! ”

Lin Qiangsheng nodded helplessly, looking at the performance of the two drivers on several screens, and then looking at the nervous appearance of their family members in the communication room, he couldn't bear to ask too much, in case there was an accident, after all, he was a layman.

And on the field, the drivers are really biting hard. Bochen maintained his speed and position, kept biting Prost's ass, and he didn't give the car behind him a chance again.

By the 8th lap, the teams began to change tires, and the No. 1 car drove into the station, and the engineers were already in place, and the car acted quickly to replace the tires that had been removed from the skin, refuel, and test the vehicle.

Racers typically rehydrate a lot before a race, and their water is a salted drink fortified with minerals and vitamins provided by Red Bull. In addition, there is a water supply system in the car, which is usually 2L, and a straw is installed under the helmet, which can be touched by the manual movement of the mouth of the racing car.

The engineer finished changing the tires in 4 and a half seconds, and the race was very tense, and the No. 1 car drove out of the starting place again, and the engine whistle whined up, and the No. 1 car went into a serpentine shape and drilled into the track.

Before Lin Qiangsheng, who was in the outer circle, could speak, Bochen drove out in a car.

In a matter of moments, Alan Jones' No. 2 car followed closely behind him to pit stop, refueled and changed tires, and at least 12 engineers surrounded the car, and just a few seconds later, car No. 2 also started to speed out.

Clay clapped loudly and exclaimed, "Yes, great job, but we'll still have to go a little faster next time, a little faster!" ”

"Ula !!" The crowd shouted loudly to cheer themselves up.

The old technician was still calm, but several young people from China who had just entered the battle were very excited. They excitedly walked back to the station and exchanged high-fives with the technicians who were also from China.

This is the best performance of a few people to have the treatment of playing, most people can still only be a cold bench, only the most outstanding performance has a chance, there is no fluke here, you can only work hard, faster, faster!

It was in this tension that the one-hour qualifying session came to an end, and the first performance of the Eastern Star team was a great success. Most of the drivers ran more than 50 laps, but still eliminated five riders.

Bochen was very good throughout the race, except for a little carelessness in the early stages, where he lost his precious position in third place, and then he was firmly pinned to the sixth place. Alan Jones also lived up to expectations, finishing in 13th place.

The performance of the new team of the East Star Racing Team also impressed the media, and the teams were also surprised by the performance of the new team, and the first-class teams that had ignored it took the initiative to say hello.

Most of them remember this white-blue-black team, with a bullish Lamborghini logo on the waistline of the body and a white cross star of the East Star on the nose. (There are two signs of the Eastern Star Group, one is a cross star and the other is similar to the Samsung logo.) )

In qualifying, Williams' Mansell and Piquet were both strong, Lotus' Senna was also good, and Ferrari's Fabi and McLaren's Prost were 1-5 respectively, with Mansell taking pole position as the starter.

The debut of the Eastern Star team was in the spotlight, but team manager Nicky told both drivers to take a break for tomorrow afternoon's race.

The team's engineers and mechanics got into the night to thoroughly inspect both cars so they could race in the best possible shape tomorrow.

Just when everyone was busy, Lin Qiangsheng took Shi Xuping, the photographer, and the driver to have a hearty dinner. To be honest, he didn't expect the team to get a sixth starting position, which is already a very good result for the East Star team, and won a good start! (To be continued.) )
