At 11 a.m. on Saturday, the third practice session started on time. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Just like when I was in Australia, the granulation of the super soft tires was still very serious, and Princestone's soft tires were really not wear-resistant." Zhang Guan said into the radio.

"The sensor shows that your engine temperature seems to be a little high." The engineer's voice came from the headphones.

"Do you need to slow down?" Zhang Guan asked.

"Not for now, let's take a look at it again...... Well, the temperature seems to have dropped a bit, probably because of the continuous high-speed bend just now. The engineer spoke.

"What about the other teams?" Zhang Guan then asked.

"McLaren's two-layer diffuser looks working, with Hamilton holding the fastest lap at the moment and you're 0.1 seconds apart." The engineer spoke.

"Okay, I'll run faster on the next lap." Zhang Guan replied.

'Alonso slid off the track at Turn 9 and his car seemed to have a problem. Keep an eye out for Turn 9, where his car is still parked and slow down when he gets there. The engineer reminded.

"Okay, no problem."

In Saturday morning's practice, the three teams of the Diffuser Gang, China Power, Williams and Toyota still had good results, while McLaren, with the transitional double-decker diffuser, also performed well, finishing in the top 10 with both cars. Ferrari didn't have a recuperation system in place and their form picked up, while Red Bull, who had done well in the first two races, didn't show good results in practice, with both drivers returning to the pits after only seven or eight laps.

The 60-minute practice session was quickly over, with Williams' Rosberg finally overtaking Zhang Guan by 0.039 seconds on the final lap to become the top spot in Saturday's practice session, with Zhang finishing second but still receiving the most applause, followed by Trulli, Hamilton and Barrichello.

Saturday's practice session was seen as a bellwether for qualifying, and judging by Zhang's performance, he was still the most likely to take pole position, and since this is the home of Chinese Power, the advantage is very clear.

Qualifying starts at 2 p.m., and by the time the drivers and team staff are still enjoying lunch, the circuit is already packed with spectators.

The fixed stands of the Shanghai International Circuit can accommodate 50,000 spectators, and the temporary stands can accommodate 150,000 spectators, and due to the appearance of Zhang Guan this year, the organizers have temporarily built a stand that can accommodate 50,000 spectators, which is equivalent to 250,000 people arriving at the scene to watch the game. And there are countless people waiting in front of the TV.

The sports channel began to broadcast a special program for the Shanghai Grand Prix after the news program ended at noon, and several guests chatted there for more than an hour, and finally waited until 2 p.m., when the qualifying session began.

The weather in mid-April was still very pleasant, with an air temperature of 24 degrees Celsius, which was neither hot nor cold for the riders; The track temperature is 37 degrees Celsius, which is just right for the tires.

In the first quarter, Williams' Rosberg took the lead, setting the benchmark of 1:37.100 on the first time lap, followed by a Ferrari Massa of 1:36.780 and a possible 1:36.480, with the two Ferraris quickly setting the fastest lap.

McLaren, who switched on the transition diffuser, also did well, with Hamilton kicking off McLaren's resurgence campaign with a time of 1:36.381. After that, apart from Webber of Red Bull Racing, no one was able to stand above Hamilton.

Red Bull, who had a poor practice session, also recovered in the first qualifying session, with Webb clocking 1:35.751, the first rider to run under 1:56. For a track like the Shanghai Circuit, which tests the comprehensive performance of the car, Red Bull's aerodynamic car is very advantageous.

The team told Webb that he was the first driver to run under 1 minute and 36 seconds, and Webb happily returned to the pit lane, and the enthusiastic applause from the surrounding crowd made Webb feel like he was fluttering.

"The Chinese audience is really enthusiastic!" Webb thought happily.

Soon, however, he saw the drivers' results and knew that the applause was not for himself.

The Chinese Power Team Barrichello has just set a new fastest lap of 1:35.701, and as a team competing at home, it deserves a warm applause from the audience.

However, even more applause followed, and Zhang Guan brushed the fastest lap of 1:35.433 behind Barrichello, which was 0.3 seconds faster than Webber's lap time just now, and in qualifying, 0.3 seconds is still an insurmountable gap.

The applause was deafening, although it was only the first practice session, but many fans seemed to have a premonition that Zhang Guan would still get the final pole position.

"Zhang Guan is 0.3 seconds faster than Webber, which is not as perverted as the previous 0.5 seconds, but based on an insurmountable chasm, it seems that Zhang Guan's dominance continues to the Chinese race." A foreign commentator sighed, while the domestic commentator was a strong tout, with an advantage of 0.3 seconds, which seemed to be the gap between high-speed rail and general express in the mouth of the domestic commentator.

In the first quarter of qualifying, Zhang Guan showed a crushing advantage, which was not surprising. The two cars of Force India were the last two cars and were eliminated.

After a five-minute break, the second qualifying session began, with all the cars on super-soft tyres, light fuel and two cars in particular from Red Bull in a posture to challenge for the crown.

Barrichello was the first to reach the top, while Hamilton was second, the gap between the top six was very close, and Raikkonen was only 0.1 seconds behind Barrichello in sixth, and the fastest lap was still being broken by the drivers on the track.

Red Bull's Webb set another fastest lap of 1:35.173, which was infinitely close to the 1:35 mark, but he only sat in the first position for five seconds, and Zhang Guan climbed to first place with 1:34.879 and ran into the 1:35 mark, which was also the fastest lap of the race today.

After switching to ultra-soft tires, Zhang Guan's still maintained a 0.3-second advantage.

After that, Vettel ran 1:35.130, which is still a big gap from Zhang, who has obviously pushed the Red Bull car to the limit, but still can't overtake Zhang.

In the command center of Red Bull Racing, Nuvey shook his head helplessly. On the surface, today's results seem to have narrowed the gap with China's power, but considering the track factors, in fact, the gap is still the same as before.

Zhang Guan still dominated the game. With an unshakable 0.3-second advantage, it looks like Power China can celebrate consecutive pole positions. The narrator spoke.

"Yes, Zhang Guan has won pole position in three consecutive races, how many years has this kind of dominance not appeared?" Another narrator spoke.

"The third quarter of qualifying began, and Zhang Guan came out very early this time...... Huh, what's going on? Black smoke! Black rocks came out of the tail of Zhang Guan's car, could it be that there was a problem with the engine. ”

In the third quarter of qualifying, Zhang Guan left the pit lane early and started his warm-up lap. But before Zhang Guan's warm-up circle was over, black smoke billowed from the rear of his car, and then the black smoke grew bigger and bigger, and then turned into thick smoke.

"Oops, Zhang Guan's engine has burst!" (To be continued.) )
