Qualifying
is an art unto itself in Formula One, with the very best
like Senna and Clark mastering the ability
to turn in a hot lap at the precise moment when track
and car conditions are optimal. In the past 15 years,
as chicanes and tighter circuits have made overtaking
increasingly difficult, the importance of qualifying has
been correspondingly heightened. |
