After the International Automobile Federation announced the double-layer diffuser compliance, the various teams quickly responded. The fastest responders were the McLaren and Renault teams, who used the double diffuser directly in this race. The Ferrari team announced a more precise time. Several other teams also said that their double-layer diffuser was being developed. Even the legendary designer of New Red Team, Neway, also expressed his surrender and prepared to give Red Bull racing. A double diffuser is also installed.

The current situation is that Ferrari said that it will use double-layer diffusers in the next stop. BMW Sauber team tentatively uses double-layer diffusers in Spain. Red Bull team estimates that Monaco station can come up with its own double-layer diffuser. Red Bull II The team will be slightly stricter than the Red Bull team.

Various teams expressed their opinions, but Force India was indifferent. Force India did not release any information about the double-layer diffuser, which caused many media people to make various speculations. The most reliable one in the guess is that Force India has no money, so a double-layer diffuser cannot be developed for a while.

The media did not know that Force India was miserable by other teams.

Due to aerodynamics, any changes to the diffuser of the car are installed at the rear of the chassis of the car, so the biggest impact of the diffuser is the chassis and suspension. Not every car chassis and suspension are suitable for modifying the diffuser. Some car chassis are suitable for changing the diffuser, then their workload will be much less; and if the racing chassis is not suitable for changing the diffuser, Then the workload of the team engineer is almost equivalent to redesigning a car.

The double diffuser was developed by Ross Brown after a long time planning. It will take some time for other teams to re-develop, even for giants such as Ferrari and McLaren, who have super research capabilities, they can now The result is a double-layer diffuser with a transitional nature, and this is the result of more than a month of research.

The Force India team did not intend to study the double-layer diffuser from the beginning. Omi thinks that other teams are supporting themselves, so he is keen to go to the International Automobile Federation to fight the lawsuit. As a result, the lawsuit has lost and the Force India team has become a Bursts of cannon fodder.

In terms of the double-layer diffuser, the Force India team started playing already, and their R&D ability is not as good as that of the big team. This is equivalent to a racing game. The slowest person runs a lot later than others. Eventually The results can be imagined. What's more, Omi did not want to study the double diffuser for his own sake, and the fate of the Force India team this season is also destined...

The Shanghai International Circuit is a very troublesome circuit, even the most troublesome one.

As a track that has just been built in recent years, the hardware facilities of the Shanghai track are first-rate, but the design of this track is a big challenge for drivers and team engineers.

Each circuit has different characteristics, such as the Italian Monza circuit is famous for its high speed, the Monaco Monte Carlo circuit has the most famous slow corners and tunnels, and the Belgian Spa circuit is the steepest one. The Catalonia circuit in Spain has the perfect title, the changeable weather and rain in the Sepang circuit in Malaysia and so on.

Cars participating in different races must use different adjustments. For example, Monza will use lower downforce, while Monte Carlo is the opposite; Sepang should take into account that The rain factor, and the **** of the Spa track requires precise adjustment of the car's suspension.

Only the Shanghai circuit has almost all of the above features!

The two large straights on the Shanghai track are typical high-speed track configurations. The car can reach 330 kilometers per hour at the end of the straight; while the continuous hairpin turns of turns 2 and 3, as well as turns 6 and 14, It’s a low-speed corner, which requires 2nd gear to pass. This is the low-speed track; it can be the 7th to 10th corners, as well as the 12th and 13th corners, and the high-speed corners. Low-speed bends conflict; another point is that this track has a large slope, there are uphill and downhill curves, and drivers must also carefully control the angle of entry and exit.

Some drivers will like this kind of circuit very much, they think this kind of circuit is very challenging, and some drivers do not like this kind of circuit very much, because the speed is slow and the speed is plus the downhill. For the drivers The rhythm of the game has a great influence. Some drivers will lose their sense of rhythm here. They feel that this track is difficult to open and tired.

Some drivers like someone to hate, but in the eyes of the team engineer, there is only one word to describe this track, that is "trouble"!

For other tracks, the high-speed track is adjusted with a high-speed, and the low-speed track is changed to a low-speed car. The various configurations of the car, such as the height of the suspension and the adjustment of downforce, can also be compared. The unified adjustment method, only the Chinese circuit, with high speed, low speed and steep slope, this time will test the comprehensive performance of the car. The team's engineers need to find a balance point for the car, to be able to play the best level of the car on all roads, and not to lag behind other cars on other roads.

On this track, the double-layer diffuser still has an advantage, but the advantage is not as great as several other tracks, and whether it is suitable for high-speed race cars or curved race cars, you can find it here. Takeshi. And like those cars that rely more on aerodynamics, they will perform better here.

...

"It's really a troublesome track, and it's still at my own home." Zhang Guan sighed helplessly. He just went out for two laps and already felt the difficulty of this track.

Now it’s Friday practice, but the surrounding stands are already full of spectators. Compared to Friday’s practice tickets are the cheapest. For some residents in the surrounding city, you can’t buy tickets for the race, come Look at the practice is also very good.

The McLaren team was fitted with an interim version of the double-layer diffuser. The performance on Friday morning was really eye-catching. The two cars achieved first and fourth results respectively. On Friday afternoon, Zhang Guan gradually adapted to the running style of this track and finally won the first place in practice.

After finishing the 90-minute practice in the afternoon, Zhang Guan coped with the swarming reporters and enthusiastic fans, and then returned to his residence.

"How does it feel? Do you still adapt?" Barrichello asked.

"This track is really tiring to run, especially the corners with slopes, and I have to carefully control the direction. I ran down more than fifty laps, but it was a test of concentration." Zhang Guan said Replied.

"It's more than that!" Ross Brown stared at a piece of information in his hand, and then said: "This is the message just passed by the meteorological service team, and the satellite cloud image. I am afraid it will rain when the race is coming the day after tomorrow! "

"Another rain battle? High-speed tracks, low-speed corners, slopes, now even God is here to join in the fun!" Zhang Guan laughed bitterly: "Is this still my home?" (Unfinished.)
