Backmarker

被套圈車手

A term used to describe a driver at the rear end of the field, often when he is encountered by the race leaders. Blue flags are used to inform the backmarker when he should let a faster car past.

一個術(shù)語，用來描述在賽道末尾的車手，通常是在他被領(lǐng)跑者遇到的時候。藍(lán)旗是用來通知后面的人什么時候該讓開得更快的車過去。

Ballast

壓艙物

Weights fixed around the car to maximise its balance and bring it up to the minimum weight limit.

在車內(nèi)固定重量，使其達(dá)到最大平衡，并使其達(dá)到最小重量限制。

Bargeboard

破風(fēng)板

The piece of bodywork mounted vertically between the front wheels and the start of the sidepods to help smooth the airflow around the sides of the car.

垂直安裝在前輪和側(cè)箱前部之間的一塊車身，以幫助平滑賽車兩側(cè)的氣流。

Blistering

輪胎起泡

The consequence of a tyre, or part of a tyre, overheating. Excess heat can cause rubber to soften and break away in chunks from the body of the tyre. Blistering can be caused by the selection of an inappropriate tyre compound (for example, one that is too soft for circuit conditions), too high tyre pressure, or an improperly set up car.

輪胎或部分輪胎過熱的后果，過多的熱量會導(dǎo)致橡膠變軟，并從輪胎上大塊地脫落。起泡可能是由于選擇了不合適的輪胎配方(例如，對于賽道條件太軟的輪胎)，過高的輪胎壓力或不正確賽車調(diào)教造成的。

Blue Flag

藍(lán)旗

In F1, the "blue flag" is a signal used to warn backmarkers that they are about to be lapped by the leading cars. The flag instructs the backmarkers to yield and allow the faster cars to pass without impeding the ongoing race of the leading drivers.

在F1中，藍(lán)旗是一種標(biāo)志，用來警示被套全車手，他們將要被領(lǐng)先車手追趕超越。這個標(biāo)志告訴后場車手要讓領(lǐng)先車手通過，以免干擾到比賽中的領(lǐng)先車手。

Bodywork

車體

The carbon fibre sections fitted onto the monocoque before the cars leave the pits, such as the engine cover, the cockpit top and the nosecone.

在賽車離開維修站之前，安裝在單殼上的碳纖維部件，比如發(fā)動機(jī)蓋、駕駛艙頂部和鼻錐。

Bottoming

托底

When a car's chassis hits the track surface as it runs through a sharp compression and reaches the bottom of its suspension travel.

當(dāng)一輛汽車的底盤在劇烈的壓縮中撞擊到軌道表面并達(dá)到其懸掛行程的底部時。

Box Box Box

進(jìn)站！

When barked as an instruction to a driver over the radio, it means that they need to pit. Used as a noun, it refers to the drivers’ servicing area in the pit lane. Box comes from the German Boxenstopp, meaning pit stop.

當(dāng)車隊(duì)通過對講向車手發(fā)出指令時，這意味著車手需要進(jìn)站。作為名詞使用時，它指的是維修站車道上的車手服務(wù)區(qū)。Box來自德語Boxenstopp，意思是進(jìn)站。

Brake balance

制動平衡

A switch in the cockpit to alter the split of the car's braking power between the front and the rear wheels according to a driver's wishes.

駕駛艙內(nèi)的一個開關(guān)旋鈕，可以根據(jù)駕駛員的意愿改變汽車前輪和后輪之間的制動功率分配。

以上為F1官網(wǎng)給出的說法，但是個人認(rèn)為brake balance更多的時候單純的表示制動平衡本身

Braking Point

制動點(diǎn)

In F1, the "braking point" refers to the position on the track where the driver starts applying the brakes before entering a corner. Accurately choosing and mastering the right braking point is crucial for successfully navigating through corners and overall race control.

在F1中，制動點(diǎn)是指車手在進(jìn)入彎道前所選擇的減速點(diǎn)，這是他們開始制動的位置。準(zhǔn)確選擇和掌握合適的制動點(diǎn)對于成功通過彎道和賽車操控至關(guān)重要。
