".......F1'S BIG DEBATE
There has been a bit of discussion about the way Formula 1 is at the moment, about whether the fast-wearing Pirelli tyres stop the racing being 'real' and force the drivers to drive within themselves.
....... But what I can say is that throughout my years in F1 - which included an era when Goodyear was the sole supplier, then tyre wars involving them, Bridgestone and Michelin, with grooved tyres and so on - there were a number of times when tyres were very challenging.
When the grooved tyres first came in, everyone thought F1 had gone mad. They did not last very long, you had to manage the fact the tyres were tearing, then you cleaned them up...........
There were a number of technical challenges, but the faster cars, more efficient teams and the drivers who understood it best got more out of it than the others.........
......... But, for example, they talk about not being able to spin up the rear tyre because you get a peak of surface temperature that changes the compound and you fall off the edge of the 'cliff'.......
.........Well, when you're driving in the rain, if you spin the rear tyres, it tears the edges of the compound, overheats the surface and you go slower. So you drive to a limit that is just below the ultimate slip angle (<---- 輪胎側滑角. 一般街胎大約是12度. 賽車slick胎大約是8度, 即是賽車slick胎的理想operation window比街胎窄三成幾!!!) the tyres can generate. Just as you drive differently in a grand prix compared to a single lap in qualifying.
it's difficult for me to understand why tyres are supposed to be a more fundamental part of the overall success of a team than they were before.
Perhaps their performance is more complex, but it is just a parameter the teams have to manage. "
一再提這題目志在希望大家對F1了解深入些. 唔好畀人遊花園吧!
