Vettel soft tyre switch accidental
By Jonathan Noble Sunday, May 29th 2011, 17:20 GMT
Red Bull Racing has revealed that its race-winning one-stop strategy in the
Monaco Grand Prix came about by accident - because the team put the wrong
tyres on at his first pitstop of the race.
Vettel had been leading the early stages of the Monte Carlo event when he
made a stop to react to nearest challenger Jenson Button's early change of
rubber on lap 15.
But although the team had planned to keep Vettel on super soft rubber for his
second stint, a communication problem within the Red Bull Racing garage saw
him accidentally switch on to the soft.
In the end, it was Vettel's ability to keep those soft tyres alive until the
closing stages of the race, when it was red flagged following a crash, that
proved key to his maiden Monaco victory.
Speaking about the issue, Red Bull Racing team principal Christian Horner
said: "It was a communication problem where the radio got jammed.
"The plan was to box both the drivers on that lap, but unfortunately the
radio got jammed so the guys in the garage did not get the call. They didn't
know what tyres they were supposed to be putting on the car.
"In the end, a set of primes went onto Seb's car and that wasn't the plan. We
were going to stick a set of options on to cover Jenson but in the end, we
said, 'okay, this isn't a disaster we need to engineer our way out of it.'
And after a bit of number crunching we managed to get our way out of it."
Horner said that Red Bull Racing initially reckoned it would need to make
another stop to have tyres that were in good condition until the end of the
race – but it was Vettel who had different ideas.
"We were on the hard tyre and it was a question of looking at what the
options were to get us back into contention. The best option was to go very,
very long and even one stop, which on lap 20 we thought was a bit aggressive
to do 60-odd laps on the prime.
"Jenson made our life slightly easier by going on options and options again,
and then it was a question of what to do. It was a risky strategy but
Sebastian made it work. He knew what the situation was and he drove
accordingly to protect the tyres."
He added: "For me it was a world champion's drive today. He soaked up the
pressure, he focused on his efforts, and he was lucky with the accident that
happened ahead of him to not get collected.
"When the race stopped he had a reprieve to get a new set of options until
the end of the race, but I think even without that he would have won."
option=super soft=softer
prime=soft=harder
感想:Vettel不只開火星車....他根本是火星人.....OTZ
大意:第16圈原本要讓兩個車手都進來換"超軟胎",結果無線電塞車......工作人員拿錯了
後來Vettel自己決定要用一停跑完.....
