マレーシアGP ラップタイム分析
Malaysia GP Laptime Analysis
Mar.28, 2004
金曜朝にＭ・シューマッハがバリチェロに1秒、ライバルたちに1.5秒の差をつけた。暑い午後にフェラーリはタイムが伸びなかったが、レースシミュレーションを実施していたものとみられる。なぜなら日曜のタイムと変わらなかったからだ。全体的に見て、Ｍ・シューマッハは3日間をリードしたと言える。これに対し、バリチェロはハードタイヤを選んだことでチームメイトを常に下回った。バリチェロは皆と同じ3ストップ戦略だったことから、ハードタイヤのメリットを生かしたとは言えなかった。バリチェロはいまだにF2004に慣れていないのか、違うタイヤに活路を見出そうとしたが失敗に終わり、表彰台も逃すことになってしまった。
ルノー第一予選でフェラーリ惑わす？
フェラーリは予選で9-10周の燃料しか積まなかった。1回目の予選でルノーが意味不明の空タンクで1-2位のタイムを出したことで、フェラーリは惑わされたかもしれない。だが3日間の流れから見ると、ルノーの第一予選は突出しすぎていた。アロンソは最終予選でスピンアウトしたが、空タンクから14周の燃料を積んで調子が狂ったのかもしれない。
追い込まれたマクラーレン
マクラーレンは金曜午後に軽い燃料でライコネンがトップタイムを記録した。土曜の第一予選でも同じようなことをした。前の週にメルセデスがパフォーマンスの悪さに怒り、ロン・デニスをシュツットガルトの本社に呼びつけ、3時間も待たせた挙句、キャンセルしたという。マクラーレンは少しでも目立つことをせざるを得ない事態に追い込まれている。
佐藤はバトンとのタイム差がプラクティスで1秒あったが、土曜の第一予選で0.4秒に縮めた。最終予選のセクター２までで0.2秒に迫った。佐藤は走りこんでタイムを上げるスロースターターのタイプだが、1エンジンでセーブすることが裏目になっていることはタイムの上がり具合で示された。
M.Schumacher gave the difference for 1 second Barrichello and 1.5 seconds to rivals on the Friday morning. Ferrari was regarded as what was carrying out the race simulation in the hot afternoon, although a time was not extended. It was because it did not change with the time on Sunday. On the whole, it sees and it can be said that M.Schumacher led three days. On the other hand, Barrichello was always less than the teammate by having chosen the hard tire. Since Barrichello was the same 3 stop strategy as everybody, it was not able to be said that it employed the merit of a hard tire efficiently. Although it was going to find out the way out into the tire which is different in whether it is yet used to F2004, it will end with failure, and Barrichello will also miss the podium.
Ferrari is confused by the Renault first qualifying?
Ferrari stacked only the fuel of 9 to 10 laps by the qualifying. Possibly Ferrari was confused by Renault's having taken out the time of the one to 2nd place with the 1st qualifying by the incomprehensible empty tank. But if it sees from the flow for three days, Renault's first qualifying will be projected too much. Although Alonso was spun out by the last qualifying, the fuel of 14 laps is stacked from an empty tank, and possibly the tune went wrong.
The driven-in McLaren
Raikkonen recorded the top time with the fuel with McLaren light on the Friday afternoon. It carried out that the same was said of the first qualifying on Saturday. After Mercedes got angry with the badness of performance at the last week, summoning Ron Dennis to the head office of Stuttgart and making it wait no less than 3 hours, it is said that it canceled. McLaren is driven into the situation which cannot but carry out that it is more conspicuous.
Although Sato had 1 second of the time differences with Button by practice, he contracted to 0.4 seconds by the first qualifying on Saturday. It pressed even with the sector 2 of the last qualifying at 0.2 seconds. Although it was the type of the slow starter who Sato runs, is crowded and raises a time, it was shown by the going-up condition of a time that saving with one engine is an adverse effect.
予選とレースでのセクタータイムを見る。Ｍ・シューマッハのＰＰは、高速コーナーの多いセクター２で大きな差をつけたものだった。それはレースでも変わらず、フェラーリとブリヂストンが強みを示した。一方、フェラーリはタイム差の出にくいセクター１でも差をつけた。低速で回り込むターン１とターン２の動きが機敏だった。だがレースではウィリアムズが速くなっている。高温でミシュランタイヤが得意の低速コーナーで威力を発揮した。セクター３は多くのドライバーが苦しんだが、ここではフェラーリも優位を示せなかった。
The sector time in a qualifying and a race is seen. PP of M.Schumacher gave the big difference with the sector 2 with many high-speed corners. A race did not change it, either but Ferrari and Bridgestone showed the strong point. On the other hand, as for Ferrari, the sector 1 out of which a time difference seldom comes also gave the difference. The motion of the turn 1 around which it turns at a low speed, and the turn 2 was quick. But in the race, Williams was quick. Might was demonstrated at high temperature at the low-speed corner good at Michelin tire. Although many drivers were in pain, as for the sector 3, Ferrari was not able to show predominance here, either.

最高速ではフェラーリとウィリアムズが互角の戦いを演じた。BMWはバックストレートエンドで1-2位となった。一方、セクター２の計測地点は低速コーナー出口にあるが、ここではルノーが速く、ミシュランがやはり特色を生かした。
At the maximum speed, Ferrari and Williams performed equal fighting. BMW won the one to 2nd place at the back straight end. On the other hand, although the measurement point of a sector 2 was situated in the low-speed corner exit, Renault was quick here and Michelin employed the special feature efficiently too.
スタート1周目の各地点での順位と、2-5周目の順位の変遷を示した。最も乱高下したのがウェバーだった。ウェバーは2位からスタートで14位に落ちたが、1周目の終わりまでに9位まで挽回した。だが3周目にＲ・シューマッハと接触し、タイヤをパンクさせて20位に落ちた。
予選でスピンして最後方にいたアロンソと佐藤は序盤で対照的な結果になった。アロンソはスタートで13位まで上がったが、第一コーナー手前でフィジケラに詰まり、無理せずに15位で通過した。そこから1周目の終わりまでに5台を追い抜いて10位に上がった。Ｒ・シューマッハとウェバーの接触で4周目に8位入賞圏内まで上がった。
一方、佐藤も1周目の終わりまでに8台を追い抜いてアロンソの後ろの11位まで上がった。だが、にわか雨の降った2周目に15位にダウンした。さらに4周目にもスピンして18位とグリッド位置近くまで落ちてしまった。その後挽回していくのだが、4周目にアロンソに21秒差をつけられたことが後々で響いた。
2周目の雨はバリチェロの順位を2つ下げることになった。ここで踏ん張ったのがＭ・シューマッハで、モントーヤに真後ろに付かれながらも1位を守りきった。
1-2周目に抜きつ抜かれつの好バトルを演じたのがバトンとトゥルーリだった。
1周目に大きくダウンしたトヨタとフィジケラ
今回も1-2周目に情けなかったのがトヨタの二人とフィジケラだ。ダ・マッタはスタートで7位まで上がりながら、ターン４からターン６までの間に一気に14位までダウンしてしまった。パニスも11位に上がりながら、ターン４でハイドフェルドに追突され、19位に落ちた。
フィジケラはスタートこそまずまずだったものの、ターン１・２の競り合いで３台にパスされてしまった。ターン４でまた３台にパスされた。雨の２周目にも３つ順位を落とした。これほど彼らしくない走りをしているのは、今年のマシンを乗りこなせていないからだろう。
The ranking in the every place point of the 1st round of the start and changes of ranking of the 2 to 5th lap were shown. Webber fluctuated erratically most. Although Webber fell from the 2nd place to the 14th place at the start, it was retrieved to the 9th place by the end of the 1st lap. But contacted the R.Schumacher at the 3rd lap, the tire was made to blow out, and it fell to the 20th place.
Alonso and Sato who did the spin by the qualifying and were in the method of the last brought the contrastive result at the beginning. Although Alonso went up by the start to the 13th place, it passed by the 15th place, without getting blocked and carrying out unreasonableness to Fisichella in the first corner this side. Five sets were passed by the end of the 1st lap from there, and it went up to the 10th place. It went up by contact of R.Schumacher and Webber to the 4th lap to a winning-a-prize within the circle the 8th place.
On the other hand, by the end of the 1st lap, Sato also passed eight sets and went up to the 11th place behind Alonso. But, it was downed to the 2nd lap to which sudden rain fell at the 15th place. Furthermore, the spin was carried out to the 4th lap and it has fallen to the 18th place and near the grid position. Although picked up after that, having been distinguished between Alonso by the 4th lap for 21 seconds was echoed in the future.
Rain of the 2nd lap will lower two ranking of Barrichello. M.Schumacher straddled here, and though attached to Montoya right behind, the 1st place had been protected.
Button and Trulli performed the good battle in which passed to the 1st to 2nd lap, or that it is sufficient should blunder.
Toyota and Fisichella who were downed greatly at 1st lap
It is also two persons of Toyota and Fisichella that was deplorable to the 1st to 2nd lap this time. Da Matta has been downed to the 14th place at a stretch in between from turn 4 to turn 6, going up by start to the 7th place. While Panis also went up to the 11th place, Heidfeld clashes from behind by turn 4, and it fell to the 19th place.
Although just Fisichella's start was tolerable, he has been passed by three sets by competition of turn 1-2. It was again passed by three sets by the turn 4. 3 ranking was dropped on the 2nd lap of rain. I will carry out the run this much out of character with him because the machine of this year can be ridden very well.
Ｍ・シューマッハは1回目のピットストップが9周終了時点だった。Ｍ・シューマッハはモントーヤに予選で0.98秒の差をつけたが、燃料で3周分の違いがあった。これを差し引くと0.65秒の差となる。両者の開幕戦での差は0.59秒だったから、フライアウェイの連戦で実力差は変わらなかったと言える。
佐藤はバトンより2周分多かったことになり、予選で0.22秒は遅くて当然と言えた。
モントーヤは第2スティントが短く、2ストップ目はＭ・シューマッハより前になった。ウィリアムズは3ストップでの逆転を狙ったが、ミヒャエルとの差を詰められなかったため、それは成らなかった。
M.Schumacher took the 1st pit stop at the 9th lap end time. Although M.Schumacher gave the difference for 0.98 seconds to Montoya by the qualifying, there was a difference for 3 laps with fuel. If this is deducted, it would become the difference for 0.65 seconds. Since the difference in both opening game was 0.59 seconds, it can be said that the merit difference did not change by fly away series of battles.
From Button, it means that there had been much Sato by 2 laps, and he was able to say that 0.22 seconds was late and was natural at a qualifying.
The 2nd stint of Montoya was short and 2 stop eye came before M.Schumacher. Although Williams aimed at the inversion in three stops, since the difference with Michael was not packed, it did not change.
タイヤ別の第2・第3スティントの平均ラップタイムを見る。BSはフェラーリの2台を平均した。Miはモントーヤ、クルサード、トゥルーリ、バトンの4台を平均した。
Miはアウトラップ後の2周目に爆発的なタイムを出した。3-6周目までもMiが速かった。これまで言われていたMiのドロップオフは見られず、むしろBSが劣った。
ところが9-13周目になるとBSが尻上がりにタイムアップした。Miは燃料が軽くなってもそれほどタイムアップできなかった。タレについてはBSが上と思われる。
The mean lap time of the 2nd-3rd stint by the tire is seen. BS averaged two sets of Ferrari. Mi averaged four sets, Montoya, Coulthard, Trulli, and Button. Mi took out the time explosive 2nd lap after an out lap. Mi was quick also to the 3rd to 6th lap. Drops-off of Mi said until now is not seen, but was inferior in BS rather. However, when it became the 9th to 13th lap, BS passed the deadline of showing a rising tendency. Even if fuel became light, the deadline of Mi has not been passed so much. About wear, BS is considered to be a top.
アロンソは変則的な２ストップを取ったが、失敗に終わった。第３スティントが32周の超ロングランだったが、タイヤに優しいマシンと走りに自信があったのだろう。だが、接戦だったクルサードに遠く離されて、後ろから佐藤に迫られることになった。通常の3ストップで行けば、5位トゥルーリも食えた可能性があった。
アロンソの第3スティントは前半が1分38秒台という遅さだった。燃料の影響をもろに食らい、ずるずると後退する原因になってしまった。後半も1分37秒台までしか上がっていなかった。32周のロングランでタイヤがタレなかったことは特筆だが、タイムの遅さは致命的だった。
BARはルノーとマクラーレンを超えたのか
また、バトンの初表彰台だが、BARがルノーやマクラーレンより速かったことがラップタイムでわかる。こうなってくると、BARは勢いをつけてさらに上の2つに戦いを挑んでいいだろう。いまが攻めどきだ。
佐藤は2ストップ後のアウトラップで燃料が重かったのにバトンよりも速かった。佐藤は速さを持っている。だがラップタイムの遷移を見ると波がある。安定して速いタイムを出し続けることが課題ともいえる。
Although Alonso took two irregular stops, it was finished with failure. Although the 3rd stint was the super-long run of 32 laps, probably, confidence was in a machine and a run gentle to a tire. But, it would be detached distantly Coulthard which was a close game, and would be pressed by Sato from back. When going for three usual stops, the 5th place also of Trulli may also have been able to been consumed.
The 3rd stint of Alonso was lateness called the level of 1 minute 38 seconds in the first half. The influence of fuel was received directly and it has become the cause which retreats trailingly. It was also going up only to the level of 1 minute 37 seconds the second half. The lateness of a time was fatal although it was special mention to have not worn a tire out in the long run of 32 laps.
Did BAR exceed Renault and McLaren?
Moreover, although it is the first podium of Button, it turns out that BAR was quicker than Renault and McLaren in lap times. BAR will be good to attach vigor and challenge upper 2 to fighting further if it becomes like this. Now attacks and it is at the time.
Sato was quicker than Button, although fuel was heavy on the out lap after 2 stops. Sato has speed. But when changes of a lap time are seen, there is a wave. It being stabilized and continuing taking out a quick time can say it also as a subject.

Ｍ・シューマッハとモントーヤの戦いで明暗を分けたのは、ピットイン前後のタイムだった。上の表のインラップ1周前の3回合計ではＭ・シューマッハが1.281秒速かった。インラップの3回合計では、Ｍ・シューマッハが実に4.375秒も速かった。これらの6周で5.656秒の差が出てしまった。これはミシュランが限界に来ていたことを思わせる。
一方、アウトラップとその次の周ではモントーヤが速かった。アウトラップでは3回合計でモントーヤが1.742秒速かった。その次の周では、2回目まででモントーヤが2.428秒速かった。3回目はモントーヤがバリチェロに詰まったため、爆発的なタイムが出せなかった。もし詰まらなかったら、インラップで失った分を取り戻して余りあった。モントーヤがバリチェロにブロックされた後、ミヒャエル追撃をやめて2位確保にしたのもうなずける。
しかし、モントーヤがアウトラップの優位性を生かすには、途中の差をもっと詰めていなければならなかった。だが今回のミシュランタイヤでは、スティント後半のタレについてBSに劣った。
The time before and behind pit in decided the outcome by fighting of M.Schumacher and Montoya. In the 3 times sum total before 1 lap of the in laps of the upper table, M.Schumacher was quick for 1.281 seconds. In the 3 times sum total of an in lap, no less than 4.375 seconds had a very quick M.Schumacher. The difference for 5.656 seconds has come out by these 6 laps. This makes it consider that the Michelin was coming to the limit.
On the other hand, in an out lap and its following lap, Montoya was quick. In the out lap, Montoya was quick for 1.742 seconds in 3 times sum total. In the following lap, Montoya was quick for 2.428 seconds even at the 2nd time. Since Montoya was got blocked in Barrichello, the 3rd explosive time was not able to be taken out. Supposing it did not get it blocked, a part to have lost on the in lap was regained and it was not much. After Montoya is blocked by Barrichello, having stopped the Michael pursuit and having made the 2nd place reservation also gives a nod of assent.
However, in order for Montoya to have employed the predominancy of an out lap efficiently, the intermediate difference had to be packed more. But with this Michelin tire, it was inferior to BS about wear in the second half of a stint.
中団以下のラップタイムでは、ザウバー、ジャガー、トヨタの３チームが1:37-38秒台で推移した。ジョーダンのハイドフェルドは孤軍奮闘の感があり、安定しないものの、時には1:37を出していた。パンターノは2ストップを選んだためにミナルディと互角になってしまった。
In the lap times below medium teams, Sauber, Jaguar, and Toyota changed on the level of 1:37 to 38 seconds. There was a feeling of fighting alone, Heidfeld of Jordan was stabilized, and although there was nothing, occasionally it was taking out 1:37. Since Pantano chose two stops, it becomes equal with Minardi.
今回、チームの勢力図が、3極分化していた。ＢＡＲを加えたトップ５チームと、ザウバー・トヨタ・ジャガーの中団、そしてジョーダンとミナルディの下位グループである。この3極の間はレースチャートでもわかるとおり、差が大きく開いた。いわば、3つのクラス競争が混在しているかのようだ。佐藤は4周目に18位に落ちたが、中団の車を追い抜くことはたやすいことだったことからもわかる。
This time, the influence figure of teams was carrying out 3 pole specialization. They are the top 5 team which added BAR, the medium team of Sauber Toyota Jaguar, and the low rank group of Jordan and Minardi. The difference opened it greatly as I understood also with a race chart between these three poles. It seems that so to speak, it is whether three class competition is intermingled. Although Sato fell to the 4th lap at the 18th place, the fact of were also easy shows passing the car of medium teams.
