After this race, Stewart once said that Dongsheng's performance is already ahead of Bingcheng, but judging from today's practice match, Bingcheng does not have any advantage in single-lap speed.
However, Daniel said that he could not really see everyone's speed until qualifying, implying that he believed that Bingcheng deliberately hid his strength: "We ran well in the practice race today and showed the strength of the car, but now We are not sure what level the other opponents are at, especially Ice City, we will not know where we are until qualifying."
Stewart has won the championship at Silverstone at home for several consecutive years before. He just encountered the nightmare of retiring in the last race and lost the top position in the driver's standings. However, he still has high expectations for this weekend's race: "It's always a different feeling at Silverstone. The fans have always supported me. I always get extra motivation here. We have had good results here in the past few years and hopefully we can continue to do so this year. .”
Tesrock of the Leysin team was quite unlucky today. He suffered a car failure in the first practice, and directly hit the wall in the second practice, causing serious damage to the car and triggering a red flag.After the race, Tesrock admitted that the crash was his own responsibility: "I think I pushed too hard, so the car lost control. Unfortunately, I hit the wall and damaged the car. Tomorrow we will continue to try and see What can be done in the third practice, I always feel good at this track. Of course, it is always better to have more test distances. It seems that we will struggle for pole position, but we will still work hard tomorrow. "
The Porter team performed amazingly in the last race. The two drivers scored No.5 and No.6 respectively. They are currently ranked fifth in the team standings. Today they said that the team's goal this season is to be able to Become the fourth team after Bingcheng, Dongsheng and Leisen: "We can't just set our goal on No.5, because we are now in fifth, you always need to look forward. Jiaojiao is a strong team The team, they know what they're doing, it's not easy to compete with them, but we will definitely work hard, but at the same time we have to make sure we can hold our position, because Yinhua and Citroen are also very strong , in any case, we will work hard to get the No.4 position in the team.”
Baxter said after practice that the resurface of Britain's Silverstone track ahead of the season hadn't helped much.As many drivers have long complained that the track is too bumpy, Silverstone, Red Bull Ring, Austin and Barcelona in the F1 calendar have all completed asphalt resurfacing, and Baxter believes that this resurfacing may make these The riders were disappointed.
"The asphalt resurfacing at the Barcelona circuit has been done very well. They have made the new track surface smooth and very grippy, and the track is no longer as bumpy as before. But at Silverstone we have While improving the grip on the track, I found that the car is still as bumpy as before, so I think many drivers will be disappointed again.”
Stewart also complained to the team during the race that the track was bumpy like the Nürburgring Nordschleife; Wesley said that the re-paved asphalt of this track did not do any good for the driver's driving.Daniel also gave his own evaluation. He said that the track has such small bumps all the time, which makes the car shake non-stop; Tesrock believes that some original "big potholes" on the track It was finally filled in this year.
The FIA decided on Wednesday to add a third section of DRS area on the starting straight of Silverstone Circuit in England, but the new DRS covered the first corner, which is a high-speed corner, which triggered Easter in the first practice. A terrible mistake.Stewart believes that such a design does not make any sense, and it also brings greater potential risks.
"We used to allow drivers to use DRS throughout the track in 2095, but due to this problem, everyone's error rate has increased significantly, so this practice has been cancelled. I remember I asked Ronaldo in the driver meeting yesterday. En told the race director that such a layout would definitely cause an accident, and it turned out that such an accident really happened today.”
Leysin driver Tesrock had an accident in the second practice in Baku. He lost control and crashed at the Rafael corner on the first lap of his debut.Tesrock explained after the game that it was because he needed to make up for the lost track time in time after encountering a gearbox problem in the first practice, but he was ignorant of the understanding of tire conditions and track conditions. Tesrock regretted again Withdrew from practice.
"I was trying to go faster on the hard tyres, and I made a mistake. I hit the wall at an unfortunate angle and damaged my rear wheel. Before the crash, I was very happy with the car, but This is not the result we hoped for. We will make up for the long-distance running test in the third practice tomorrow, and I can use the data collected by Vergil anyway, and there is generally no problem.”
The F1 strategy designation group hopes to modify the current top ten scoring rules and switch to a new points system where the top 20 can get points.The current point system started a long time ago, the champion can get 25 points and the No.10 can get 1 point, but after the reform of the new point rules, at least the top 15 or top 20 drivers can get points, which means that as long as Points are scored at the end of the game.
The boss of Yinhua said: "They are considering whether to decentralize the scoring rules to the top 20. The current discussion is still in full swing. The significance of this reform is to allow all drivers to fight for points. The fastest Such a proposal of lap winner scoring is still very far from reality."
Porter driver Easter drove DRS into the first turn and crashed out of control in the first practice. His teammate Wesley also said that he almost made the same mistake.The Danish driver believes that a Porter car may only be able to try such a driving style under light fuel conditions, while a car with a high level of downforce like Leysen may be able to corner easily.
"I almost crashed like Easter. It's not possible for our car to go through the corner in DRS, I'm very optimistic that the Leysin car can do it like this. We may turn in the second corner with DRS , but I don't know if driving like this will make the lap faster, it will put more load on the tires. But it is very easy for a car like Leysin."
