这是终极工程技术精细塑造的杰作 A tuned sculpted masterpiece of ultimate engineering.
一级方程式赛车不仅仅是一辆车 The Formula One is not only a car.
要知道，它的意义要超过一辆车 You know, it's something more than a car.
威廉姆斯F1车队 是彻头彻尾的英国赛车队 Williams F1 are a thorough Brit racing team
有过一百多场胜赛经历 with well over a hundred race wins.
我们在一级方程式界 有着美妙的传承 We have a fantastic heritage in Formula One.
我们已经参与竞赛三十多年了 We have been competing for more than three decades.
是这项运动历史上最大 And we are one of the largest and most successful teams
也是最成功的车队之一 in the history of the sport.
像威廉姆斯这样的公司是有生命的 Company like Williams is a living entity
它在竭尽全力 trying to run as hard as it can
尽可能地取得进步 and make as much progress as it can
来发展竞争优势 to develop competitive advantage.
一级方程式赛程 Formula One's racing calendar
创造出独一无二的高压环境 produces a uniquely pressurized environment.
威廉姆斯公司有五百多名 专注的员工在努力工作 Williams have a dedicated workforce of over 500 people.
这里 Here,
（英国伦敦威廉姆斯F1车队） 是威廉姆斯超级工厂 at Williams Mega Factories,
他们在探求并推进速度的极限 as they probe and push the limits of speed,
创新型工程科技和专业生产 innovative engineering and specialized production
时时不息地运转着 turn over in a relentless cycle.
威廉姆斯的F1赛车 The Williams F1 car
在不停地进化着 is in constant evolution.
在英格兰，牛津郡 威廉姆斯的总部大门 Door at the Williams HQ in Oxfordshire, England,
车队卡车 从最近的意大利站赛事归来 the team truck's arrived back from last race in Italy.
他们已经连夜行车九个小时 They've driven nine hours through the night
才回到这里 to make it back.
里面是 Inside,
两辆已拆成零件的F1赛车 are two Formula One cars in pieces.
（星期二）
现在是星期二早上 It's Tuesday morning.
太阳刚刚升起 As the sun rises,
威廉姆斯车队开始卸货 the Williams team starts to unload.
这里是赛车间 This is Race Bay.
（赛车间）
不到四天时间里 In less than four days,
这些车就将在这里被完全重建 the cars will have to be totally rebuilt here,
准备好被运到赛季下一个赛段 ready to be shipped to next sector of the season -
在环太平洋 a two months stand
和中东的两个月连续竞赛 in the Pacific Rim and Middle East.
车队知道他们必须 在星期五前准备就绪 The team know they have to be done by Friday night
要不卡车就赶不上飞机 or the trucks will miss their flight.
这个截止时间不容商量 It's a non-negotiable deadline.
我们刚回来 We only got back,
今天才到家，星期二 back in today, Tuesday.
所有保养、所有零件和所有车 All the servicing, all the part, all the cars
都得在我们周五早上 got to be done when we need to...
要离开前准备完毕 we need to pack away Friday morning.
对，这挺赶的，很多事情要做 Yes, it's quite pressing. There's a lot to do.
大家都在看着呢 People are watching around you.
在一级方程式界 In Formula One,
工厂每天都日夜不停 the factory runs 24/7.
威廉姆斯从不安歇 Williams never sleeps.
蒂姆·牛顿是威廉姆斯F1车队的 生产总经理 Tim Newton is Williams F1's production general manager.
他工作是确认 It's his job to make sure
工厂里的各个部分 that every element of the factory
都不停地协同运转 works in unison around the clock.
有很多工作要做 There's a lot of work that goes on
（生产总经理蒂姆·牛顿） 而且都是不能停的 in a sort of constant nature
就是说每个区都要日夜连轴转 and this really makes this 24-hour work in all areas.
这形成了… And this creates...
…好像一种看不见的工作波 ..sort of an invisible wave of work.
这么一大群人在工作 This army of people at work,
得要确定他们都有必须的设备 you have to make sure that they've got all the equipment they need
能完成手头的活儿 to be able to do the job.
赶着把赛车准备好的竞赛开始了 The race to get the cars ready has begun.
不管发生什么 Whatever happens,
我们都得工作 you know, we'll be working
因为这些时间勉强能够把任务完成 for there's only time to get the job done.
工厂队伍感受到了压力的同时 While the team feel the pressure on the factory floor,
威廉姆斯F1车队的管理层 Williams F1's management
也要面对他们自己的一个重大挑战 are squaring off to a major challenge of their own.
（工程总监帕特里克·海德） 我想最近几年 I think in recent year,
越来越不容易获得企业赞助了 cooperate sponsorship has become much more difficult,
这一部分 which is partly
是因为商业上的不稳定因素 due to the commercial instability
这从2007年、2008年开始 that's been present in the world
就一直都有 since 2007, 2008.
威廉姆斯是老牌车队 Williams is well established team.
不过一级方程式的巅峰竞争 But competing with the top of Formula One
非常昂贵 is expensive.
他们的一些主要对手 Some of their rivals spend
一年能花费3.2亿美元 up to 320 million dollars a year.
最近这段时间 In recent times,
威廉姆斯车队还在 为登上领奖台而努力 Williams have battled to get on the podium.
（首席执行官阿历克斯·伯恩斯） 我想在过去的十年左右 I suppose over the last decade or so,
我们看到了在一级方程式赛车界 we've seen that the cost to compete in Formula One
成本显著增加 went up significantly.
这就让像威廉姆斯这样的 And that made it very difficult
中型车队很难拥有强大的竞争力 for mid-sized teams like Williams to be fully competitive.
威廉姆斯F1车队 想要重新成为一线队伍 Williams F1 wants to get back to the front of the grid.
不过要获得重回巅峰的资金 But to fund their push for the top,
董事会要将其业务扩展到赛车之外 the board needs to expand the business outside of racing.
威廉姆斯车队知道他们最强的一点 Williams know their greatest strength
就是其工程技术专长 is their engineering expertise.
一级方程式为碳纤维高性能汽车 Formula One paved the way for carbon fiber
铺平了道路 and high-performance road cars.
车队相信 And the team believe
F1工程科技一定还有 there must be other commercial opportunities
其它商机 for F1 engineering.
我相信我们一直都在科技方面 I think we're right at the leading edge
处于领先位置 of the technology all the time
而且我很高兴 and I really enjoy the fact
我们能利用一级方程式科技 that we can take technologies from Formula One
将其用于 and apply them
我们在世界上看到的其它挑战 to some of the challenges we see elsewhere in the world.
知道新的收入可能会是 Armed with the knowledge that fresh income
赛道上成功的关键 could be key to success on the track,
威廉姆斯公司开始寻找 Williams begin the search for an engineering idea
拥有更广阔市场的工程科技 they could sell to a wider market.
车队此前从没将其科技用于 The team have never taken their technology
赛车之外的领域 beyond racing before.
这是通向未知的旅程 It's a journey into the unknown.
在赛车间 In race bay,
车队在全速工作 the team are at full speed.
重建要从底座开始 The rebuild starts with the chassis.
这是核心部件 It's the central piece
所有其它零件都是 以它为基础来安装的 all the other parts of the car are built out from.
底座就是赛车的脊梁 The chassis is the backbone of the car.
是它最重要的部分 It is the most important part of it.
它把所有部分连接在一起 It hauls everything else together.
也同样承载着车手 It also hauls the driver.
赛车运动的危险性尽人皆知 Motor sport is notoriously dangerous.
已经有过数百次惨烈的高速事故 There have been many hundreds of spectacular high speed crashes.
以时速290公里行驶时 Moving at 290 kilometers per hour,
车手承受的撞击过载可达到50G a driver can be put through more than 50 G on impact.
在1994年 In 1994,
一级方程式传奇埃尔顿·塞纳 Formula One legend Ayrton Senna
因赛车撞上了防护墙而撒手人寰 was killed when his car smashed into a barrier.
同一站大奖赛上 还有另一名年轻车手丧生 Another young driver died at the same Grand Prix.
在那个周末之后 After that weekend,
安全变得至高无上 safety became paramount.
现代一级方程式赛车底座 The modern Formula One chassis,
或叫驾驶座 or cockpit,
是由六十层碳纤维制成 is sixty sheets of carbon fiber deep.
其外层 The outside layer
是防弹的采龙纤维 is bullet proof Zylon
保护车手不被飞来的碎片伤到 protecting the driver against flying debris.
驾驶座被称作“逃生舱” Known as "the survival cell,"
它是赛车上最厚 the cockpit is by far the thickest,
最坚固的部件 strongest part of the car.
在2011年 In 2011,
印地印地系列赛车手丹·威尔顿 IndyCar driver Dan Wheldon
在一次高速车祸中意外身亡 was killed in a high speed crash.
不过在塞纳死后就没有过 But no Formula One driver
一级方程式车手丧生 has died since Senna.
（埃尔顿·塞纳墓碑）
跟超强的底座不同 Unlike the super-strong chassis,
F1赛车的大部分部件并不耐用 Most parts on the F1 car don't last.
在赛道上狂飙 Tearing around the track,
呼啸着奔向极速 screaming towards top speed
加上制动时嘶吼的减速 and crunching deceleration under braking,
一级方程式的机械劳损异常严酷 the mechanical strain of Formula One is brutal.
为了能够保障竞赛 To stay ahead of the game
并保证赛车的所有部件都没有问题 and guarantee all the parts on race car are fresh,
威廉姆斯车队给每个零件 Williams give each piece
确定了使用寿命 a predefined lifespan.
这一寿命由驾驶里程来衡量 That life is measured in kilometers.
当零件随车在赛道上驰骋时 As it travels with the car on track,
其寿命随着距离而逝 it clocks up distance.
车队现在能确知零件什么时候到期 The team know exactly when its life is up.
在这个周末之前 Before the end of this week,
有数百个零件需要更换 several hundred parts need to be replaced.
车上的很多零件都有设计寿命 A lot of the parts in the car have got a designed life.
我们知道它们在一定时间内 不会有问题 They've got certain amount of time that we know they are gonna last.
这些零件需要定期更换 And these parts are replaced on regular basis.
在赛车间 In Race Bay,
车队卸下了一个变档歧管 the team have unloaded a gear-change manifold.
它已经过了使用寿命 It's past its lifespan
需要进行更换 and needs to be replaced.
这个零件寿命已经过了 This particular part is now out of its life.
已经表现出来一些劳损 And they are showing some strain here.
它已经有了一万一千公里里程 It's done eleven and a half thousand kilometers.
所以这个零件要完全更换 So this part is gonna be completely replaced.
它已经过了使用期限 It's actually out of its usable life.
一级方程式赛车零件是特别定制的 The parts in Formula One are specialized and unique.
每个轮齿和螺栓 Each cog and screw
都要符合威廉姆斯车队的要求 will be engineered in Williams' way.
威廉姆斯超级工厂 The Williams Mega Factory
要自己制作很多零件 needs to make many parts themselves.
在工厂的心脏地带 At the heart of the factory
（机器车间） 是机器车间 lies the Machine Shop.
在这间屋子里 Inside this room,
有23台自动机器人车床 there are 23 automatic robotic lathes.
机器人车床 The robotic lathe
能按照三维技术图纸 can follow technical 3D plans
完美地复制任何零件 and perfectly replicate any part.
这是我们之前看到的零件 So, this is the part we saw earlier.
已经过期了，要进行更换 It's out of month. It needs to be replaced.
所以我们来到机器车间 So we came to the Machine Shop.
这是一大块铝块 Here's a large block of aluminum.
准备好要做一个新的了 Ready to make the new one.
把它放进机器里 Place it onto the machine.
然后机器大概会不停地运转28小时 And it will run for probably 28 hours non-stop.
当放好金属块后 Once the block is loaded,
车床就会从众多切削工具中 进行选择 the lathe selects from an array of cutting tools.
其陶瓷刀头 The ceramic tip
能达到每分钟两万转 can move at 20,000 rotations per minute,
每秒钟三百多转 over 300 revolutions a second,
能切削出复杂的3D造型 carving out a intricate 3D sculpture.
摩擦力非常强烈 The friction is so intense,
必须要不停地喷洒冷却液 it has to be constantly sprayed with coolant.
我们最终得到一样的零件 We end up with the same part,
崭新而闪亮 shining, brand-new,
就是威廉姆斯厂房内出产的 all made in house of Williams.
现代一级方程式赛车 For the modern Formula One cars,
要比三十多年前的 they are much more advanced
先进得多 relative to 30 years ago.
威廉姆斯公司现在有 Williams now is a company of
大约五百名员工 about 500 employees.
我们的第一年，我们好像有八个人 In our first year, I think we had 8.
帕特里克·海德是工程总监 和公司合作持有人 Patrick Head is William's director of engineering and co-owner.
在1977年 In 1977,
弗兰克·威廉姆斯爵士建立了车队 Sir Frank Williams founded the team
而且立刻就邀请这个老相识加入 and immediately invited his older acquaintance on board.
他给赛车设计带来了 He brought in very solid,
（弗兰克·威廉姆斯爵士） 非常有力、非常有组织的 very organized engineering principles
（车队合作创始人及执行董事） 工程技术原则 to the business of designing,
塑造出了很有竞争力的赛车 shaped competitive racing cars.
这正是公司所需要的 That's exactly what the company needed.
我被弗兰克对赛车的酷爱 Well, I was impressed with Frank's passion
和激情所感染 and enthusiasm for racing.
所以我负责工程和操作这方面 So I looked after the engineering and operational side
弗兰克则负责筹集资金 while Frank looked after raising the money.
了不起的是在1979年 Remarkably, in 1979,
车队刚刚运营了两年之际 after only two years in operation,
威廉姆斯车队就在主场银石赛道 Williams won their first Grand Prix
赢得了第一个大奖赛桂冠 at their home track of Silver Stone.
肯定没有比这更好的胜利了 There couldn't have been a better winning, that's for sure
那一天真美好，胜利很受欢迎 for it was a great day and that was a popular win.
这一切真让人满足 And that was very satisfying.
从1979年银石赛道的首次胜利开始 From that first winner in Silver Stone, 1979,
我就对于不能取胜 I certainly developed a very strong
开始很难忍受 intolerance of not winning.
这次捷报开启了胜利的纪元 The win began a lasting era of success
将威廉姆斯车队提升为 F1赛车界的传奇 which catapulted Williams into Formula One legend.
弗兰克和帕特里克因为 Renowned for their inspired engineering
有创见的工程技术 and iron will to win,
和求胜的钢铁意志 Frank and Patrick
开发出一系列获胜车型 produced a succession of victorious cars.
我觉得对于一个队伍来说 I think it unacceptable for a team,
要是有能力参与大奖赛 if it has the tools to go to a Grand Prix,
又没有想获得 without turning up there
冠亚军的意图让我无法接受 with the intention of finishing first or second.
那是去参赛的目的 That's what you go there for.
七个车手总冠军 7 Drivers' Championships
九个车队总冠军 and 9 Constructors' Championships,
这使之成为一级方程式赛车 making them one of the most successful teams
史上最成功的车队之一 in Formula One history.
现在的威廉姆斯车队 The modern Williams team
致力于保持这样获胜的传统 are dedicated to keeping the winning tradition alive.
有一个部门特别 One department in particular
为此加班加点 is working overtime.
杰森·萨默维尔 Jason Somerville
是空气动力学部的新负责人 is the new head of Aerodynamics.
我们一直在需找提升 We're continually looking to improve
赛车空气动力效率的方法 the aerodynamic efficiency of the car.
赛车的快慢区别经常就是 The difference between a fast and a slow car
其空气动力学结果 can often be attributed the aerodynamics.
F1赛车车身的每一个零件形状 Every part of the F1 car's body work
都要考虑空气动力学 is aerodynamically shaped.
流线型车身 A streamlined car
能更好地切过空气 cuts through the air better.
但F1赛车的空气动力 But F1 aerodynamics
还需要产生下压力 also need to produce down force.
下压力是空气将赛车推向赛道的力 Down force is the effective air pushing the car onto the track.
这对F1赛车至关重要 It's vitally important in Formula One.
赛车极速飞驰 The cars are so fast,
没有下压力的话 that without down force,
就根本没法操纵 they will be virtually undrivable.
不过要是空气动力布局设置合理 But if you can get the aerodynamics set all right,
轮胎会紧压地面 the wheels hook the road
在转弯时也会有更好的抓地力 and the car grips well at the corners.
这在赛道上就意味着速度 That equals speed on track.
前翼特别重要 The front wing is particularly important.
它基本上就是 It is essentially
反转过来的飞机机翼 the reverse of an aeroplane wing.
F1赛车的翼 Instead of giving lift,
带来的不是升力而是下压力 an Formula One wing forces the car downwards.
前翼对流过车身的气流 The front wing has a big effect
有着重大影响 on the flow on the car.
当它和后翼以及车身气流 And when it's balanced with the rear wing
形成平衡状态后 and with the flow of the car,
它们一起能让赛车在过弯时的速度 we end up with a package which ultimately will go on corners
大幅度提升 a lot faster.
在极速时 At top speed,
赛车的空气动力下压力 the car's aerodynamic down force
使得赛车的转角力 enables a cornering force
达到其自身重量的三倍半 of three and a half times of its own weight,
这意味着理论上 which means in theory,
F1赛车能够在倒置的路上 an F1 car could drive on a road
行驶自如 upside down.
（星期三）
星期三清晨 Early Wednesday morning,
杰森的初级设计师们 Jason's junior designers
召集了一次紧急会议 have called into a urgent meeting.
他们几个星期 They've spent weeks
都在进行一种创新性新前翼设计 working on an innovative new front wing design
现在看来计算机测试结果良好 and it's looking good in computer testing.
总之，能看出来在前翼 All in all, as you can see, very significant gain
这里能有显著的增益 on the perspective there though the front wing.
在N舱板处有更大的力量 推向N金属板 We'll give a greater mast force the N board to push at the N plate.
这是我们整个赛季都在试图达成的 which is something we've been looking to develop all season.
看来在那个区域我们进展不错 Looks very good step for us in that region.
好的，我想我们该带它进洞了 Okay, I think we should take this to the tunnel
看看最终结果如何 and get some ultimate results.
杰森相信他的设计师有了切实进展 Jason believes that the designers are on to something.
不过仅仅是计算机理论还不够 But he needs more than computer theory.
这是风洞 This is the windtunnel.
（风洞） 风洞是威廉姆斯车队最负盛名 The Windtrnnel is one of the most prestigious
也最有效的设施之一 and effective facilities an Williams,
让车队能获得空气动力学性能的 allowing the team to get real physical data
真实物理数据 on aerodynamics performance.
这让很多竞赛队伍眼红 It's the envy of many teams on the grid.
为了节省时间和材料 To save on time and materials,
测试用的赛车模型比例 the test model of the car
是真车的百分之六十 is made to 60 percent scale.
专业模型制作者 Specialist model makers
做出新的空气动力零件 produce perfect downsized replicas
完美的缩小副本 of new aerodynamic parts.
在滚筒道路模拟机启动后 As the rolling road powers on
风高速吹过赛车模型 and the wind speeds over the model,
一个导杆将信息传给杰森 a guide arm feeds information to Jason
和其他技术员 and the technicians.
他们能看出赛车对赛道的压力 They can tell how hard the car is pulling towards the track.
我们在下压力方面提高不少 So we've got good improvement in down force.
今天的风洞测试结果不错 We're look at a good day in the Windtunnel.
一般我们要能发现 对普通大奖赛来说 We typically find out the use of one tenth of a second of lap time
每圈成绩能提高0.1秒 for the average Grand Prix.
对我们来说就是很好的结果了 But that would be a good day for us.
好了，我们从表上看 So, okay, we've got improved
在各个范围都有进步 from forms across the range, okay.
前翼带来更大的下压力 The front wing is providing improved down force.
杰森现在知道 Jason now knows
他有了切实进展 his got something.
从风洞来看结果很好 With Windtunnel, it looks very good.
之后我想我们要回去 跟总设计师商量 From here, I think we are go and check with the chief designer
争取把这个设计用上 and try and get this well made.
车队开始要进行维修站练习 The team are around for PitStop practice.
进站表现可能关乎成败 A PitStop can make or break a race.
打滑一次 One slip
赛道名次就可能下落几位 means several places lost on track.
F1赛事里 In F1,
维修站组员从车队机械师中选出 the crew are selected from amongst the race team mechanics.
他们不是这方面的全职专家 They are not full time specialists.
他们要在保证其它工作的同时 They have to keep on top of their skills
保持站内的绝技 in between their other work.
我们车队在维修站里 Our race team, they do a PitStop,
需要用27个人 there are 27 people needed
好让赛车在3到4秒就能离开 to make the car leave in 3 or 4 seconds.
这要靠练习 This comes from practice,
每个人都清楚 在维修站具体要做什么 everyone knowing exactly what they have to do within the PitStop.
为了让停靠尽可能地快 To make the stop as fast as possible,
每个轮胎要用三名机械师 3 mechanics are resigned to each wheel.
这三个人和整个维修队 These three and the entire pit crew
必须配合的完全协调一致 need to be perfectly choreographed.
车队经理拿着秒表计时 The race team manager is on the stop watch
并且关注着每个人的表现 and keeping an eye on every individual.
一次好的进站 A good stop
用时应该不到四秒 should take under 4 seconds.
我们对这种压力非常清楚 We're very conscious of the pressure.
我们都犯过老毛病 We've all made the old mistake.
很多时候我们练得非常多 And most of the time, we practice so much
这都变成了第二本能了 that it becomes a second nature.
在威廉姆斯工厂的日落时分 The sun goes down at the Williams Factory.
夜班人员开始为最终期限努力 The night shift keeps pushing towards the deadline.
在威廉姆斯车队的董事室 In the Williams' Boardroom,
寻找新的收入 the search for new revenue
进入到了重要阶段 hits an important stage.

可能会有商业潜力 which might have commercial potential.
（高登·戴） 经一级方程式赛车测试 New technology showed real promise
（威廉姆斯混合动力部部长） 新的技术前景真的不错 in testing in the Formula One car.
然后我们意识到在一级方程式之外 Then we realized that it has these great applications
这也能有很好的用途 outside of Formula One.
这是一种动能回收系统 It's a kinetic energy recovery system.
动能回收系统 Kinetic energy recovery system,
也叫科思 or KERS,
能贮存赛车制动时浪费的能量 stores the energy wasted during braking
并将其转化为驱动力 and converts it into drive power.
多数F1车队使用的都是传统电池 Whilst most F1 teams have a traditional battery,
威廉姆斯车队用的却是机械系统 Williams have a alternative mechanical system.
当车手刹车时 When the driver brakes,
摩擦产生的能量被转化为电力 friction energy is converted into electricity
使得一个磁化的内轮 which sets a magnetized internal wheel spinning
高速旋转 at very high speed.
车手可以按下一个按钮 The driver can then press a button
从这个飞轮上提取能量 and draw the energy from the flywheel
可以额外增加赛车的动力 to get an extra boost of drive power.
董事会对这种创新科技印象深刻 The board are impressed with the innovative technology.
“飞轮”相当高效 The Flywheel is incredibly efficient.
我们对这项飞轮技术很满意 We are delight with this Flywheel technology.
我们都领教过化学电池的局限 We've all seen the limitations the chemical batteries have
这项飞轮技术的出现非常好 and coming up with this Flywheel is great
因为这表明还有别的方法 'cause it shows that there is an alternative
可以做得更有效 that it is much more effective,
更小 it's smaller,
更轻 it's lighter,
更便宜 it's cheaper,
而且在环境中的印记要少得多 it has a much lower environment footprint.
我们现在所做的 It is extremely exciting
极让人兴奋 doing what we are doing -
我们在为绿色能源技术努力 working on a green energy technology.
这有改变竞赛的潜质 It's potentially a game changer.
威廉姆斯车队相信这正是 Williams believe this is the commercial opportunity
他们想要的商机 they've been looking for.
他们全力投入开发飞轮技术 They commit to developing the Flywheel.
我们一直在用 We are continuing to invest
公司的很大一笔钱投资 quite large sums of money in the company
因为我们相信这是项优秀技术 because we believe that it's a great technology
在别处也自然会有用途 that is gonna have application elsewhere.
现在威廉姆斯车队有了相当的投资 Now, with significant investment on the line,
他们需要这项混合动力技术 Williams need the hybrid technology
能够热卖 to sell successfully.
如果威廉姆斯混合动力部 It's important financially for Williams
能为车队带来额外的收入 if we've got an additional source of income
对车队的财政会很重要 coming from Williams Hybrid Power.
这是一项赌博，可能帮助车队 It's a gamble that could either help the team,
也可能是昂贵的错误 or prove a costly mistake.
威廉姆斯车队车手 Williams F1 Driver,
委内瑞拉人帕斯特尔·马尔多纳多 Venezuelan Pastor Maldonado.

开发出了世界上最先进的 has developed one of the most advanced
（模拟器） 赛车模拟器之一 racing simulators in the world.
在威廉姆斯车队用的这个 The thing at work here with Williams
在F1赛车车队里是顶级的 is one of the best for team in Formula One.
这肯定比任何电脑游戏都要 It's definitely much, much more advanced
先进得多得多 than any computer game.
世界各地的赛道都被 All the tracks in world circuit
用激光进行了3D扫描 are laser scanned in 3D.
包括所有细节 Every detail
路上的小隆起和小弯 down to a minor bump or curve
都被输入了系统 is fed into the system.
帕斯特尔要进行一天模拟器测试 Pastor is in for a day of simulator testing.
他在尝试晚场的街道赛道 He's trying out street circuits in night events
他以前没有过这样的比赛 that he's never raced up before.
作为新车手 As a rookie driver,
模拟器对了解所有情况 the simulator is really essential
非常重要 to learn everything,
而且能提升他对工程师的信心 and to gain more confidence with the engineers,
包括如何措辞 the way to word,
如何解释赛车有什么问题 the way to explain what the problem is in the car.
如果他感觉这样更好或更差 If he feels that it's better or worse,
而且我们之后也看得到 and we can see that on the later's work,
那么之后 and from there,
就要做决定和找结论 just take decisions and conclusions,
做进一步的工作 just to move forwards.
即使在竞争时或进入时 Even in contend or entry,
感觉也还不错 the feeling was okay.
承载更多就意味着速度 To carry more means speed.
不过只要我 But as soon as I
踩上油门 touch the throttle,
动力总是有点儿不够 the power's too light.
模拟器团队甚至能测试新零件 The simulator team can even test out new parts.
他们把新前翼在风洞的测试结果 They program in the Windtunnel results
输入进了程序 on the new front wing design.
赛车即刻升级 Instant upgraded place,
帕斯特尔要开上新调校过赛车 Pastor takes the tweaked-up car
出去转转 for a spin.
有了新零件，我们就要 With new parts, what we do is
对它们进行测试 we test them first here.
如果有效果，能看到潜力 And if it works, if we see there is potential,
我们就会考虑制作 then we consider making it.
在控制室里 In the control room,
谢维能够得到 Xevi has the use
完整的表现反馈 of complete performance feedback.
他能看到帕斯特尔的所有驾驶细节 He can see exactly how Pastor is driving
和车况是否有改进 and if the car has improved.
觉得车比之前启动要快些吗？ Feeling difference firing the car a little more than the other?
没有，区别不大 No, not big difference.
好的 Okay.
在转向上要轻松一些 It's less on the steers generally.
之后就要感受到其中妙处了 Then you're about to get feeling fantastic.
现在下压力增强了 Now I've got more down force.
新前翼在模拟器上带来的提升 The new front wing's improvement in the simulator
很明显 is clear.
结果对空气动力学部 It's a valuable positive
负责人杰森·萨默维尔很有价值 for head of Aerodynamics, Jason Somerville,
因此他进行了一次关乎成败的会面 as he sits down to a make-or-break meeting.
杰森必须说服高级管理层 Jason has to convince senior management
新设计的优点充分，可以生产 that the new design is good enough to be made.
我们在差不多整个地图上 And we see some quite interesting gains
都看到了不错的增益 pretty much across the map.
我觉得是这里6个左右的组合 I think a combination of about 6 or so around there.
一个小的连接变化 Got a simple juncture change
能让我们获得很不错的改良 and so give us quite a good improvement.
这个决定不容易做 It's a tough call.
新的前翼可能会提高赛车性能 The new front wing could improve performance,
不过这没法保证 but it's never guaranteed.
而且要投入时间 And it will take time,
金钱 money,
还有人力来进行制作 and man hours to produce.
下面是新的组件 There's new components underneath.
我知道这会 I know that does add
增加一些制作时间 a bit extra time to process.
对 Yep.
不过我认为这个改变有必要 But I think we do need that change.
问题很简单，时间够吗？ Do we have enough time? Simple.
我看没问题 Oh, I think so.
对 Yep.
好的 Okay.
新前翼的优点不容忽视 The positives are too strong to ignore.
杰森等到了许可 Jason gets the green light.

好能及时地做完所有零件 so that we get all the parts delivered at the right time.
（复合材料及热压部） 这是复合材料及热压部 Composites and Autoclave.
这是五轴自动磨床 The five axis automatic milling machine.
整个工序的开始 To start the process,
要在模板上面 the shape of the front wing
刻出前翼的形状 must be carved out on pattern board.
刻刀每次扫过都只会削去 The cutter only takes away a paper-thin layer
纸一样的薄薄一层 with each sweep.
保证最终的形状 Ensuring the final shape
完全精准 is totally accurate.
然后把模板 Pattern board is then taken
拿到碳纤维复合材料室 to the carbon fiber composite room.
他们在这里用模板制作一个模子 Here, they use the board to produce a mold.
模子就是部件最终形状 The mold is effectively a negative image
反过来的负像 of the final shape.
在复合材料部 In composites,
自动切割机从炭纤维布料上 an automatic cutter scores out a series of patterns
切下一系列形状 from a carbon fiber sheet.
这些是前翼中 This is the pattern pack
一个部分的形状的组合 for a section of the new front wing.
要做出零件 To create the part,
技术员要在模子里面 a technician lays the shape
把这一形状一个个 one on top of the other
叠加在一起 inside the mold.
每层布料都有图案 Each sheet has a grain.
技术员通过改变 By changing the angle
每一层的角度 sheet by sheet,
能够让零件更加坚固 the technician can make the part stronger.
这一步极其复杂精巧 It's a excruciatingly complex procedure
必须要全神贯注 that requires total concentration.
为了让碳纤维 The make the carbon fiber
紧贴模具成型 hug the mold and take the shape,
它们被放入一个真空袋 They are placed in a vacuum bag.
当把空气抽出时 When the air is removed,
碳纤维布料层就被吸到 the sheet layers are sucked flush
表面上来 onto the surface.
现在可以进行高温碳化了 It's ready to be cooked.
碳纤维需要进行缓慢的高温碳化 Carbon fiber is made into strong stiff parts
来形成结实的零件 by being slow cooked
碳化用的大型压力舱 in large pressure chambers
叫做热压舱 called autoclaves.
其钢质舱门 The steel doors
厚度达到十厘米 are ten centimeters thick.
前翼的所有部分 All the parts of the front wing
现已就绪 are now ready.
共有45个碳质部件 There are 45 separate carbon pieces.
好了，现在是安装干零件阶段 Okay, so now we've got to the dry fix stage.
赛车前翼 The front wing
就像是一个复杂的拼图 is like a complicated jigsaw puzzle.
要将各个不同部分拼接在一起 It's got different pieces slotted together.
现在前翼被压紧进行粘合 And the wing is now being compacted for bonding.
前翼必须被粘合 The wing has to be bonded,
晾干 allowed to dry,
清理并检查后 cleaned and checked
才能够出厂 before it can be released.
这是仍在生产的 It's one of several parts
几个零件之一 still in production.
要完成所有这些 Getting everything finished

整个赛车间的人员 The whole Race Bay team
一大早就都到了 are in at sunrise.
赛车要组装完成 The car has to be built up
然后装好进行空运 and then packed away for air freight.
这东西早上六点时就得放在那里 This stuff has to lay there at 6 o'clock in the morning.
（保罗·辛格赫斯特） 这就是一级方程式的情况 This being Formula One and everything else.
（车队协调员） 每个人都得为最后期限忙活 Everyone works toward the deadlines.
如果我们要是有什么麻烦什么的 So if we have a problem of something or something like that,
直到六点都可能会在这里 we could be here to six.
要真是那样可就不太妙了 It's looking quite grim if that's gonna happen.
赛车进行构建 The cars can only be built
只能按特定的顺序 in a very specific order.
一步步地 Step by step,
从中心底座开始扩展 it grows out from the central chassis.
因为很多零件还在工厂各处 Because numerous parts are still being repaired
进行维修或是制造 or fabricated around the factory,
赛车间的工程师们 the engineers in Race Bay
经常被迫等待他们交货 are often forced to wait for delivery.
总是在等拼图上面的某个部分 You're always waiting for one more piece of the jigsaw,
这差不多就是等待的游戏 so it's a bit of a waiting game.
一个碳纤维吊式悬挂 A carbon fiber suspension wishbone
刚刚送到 has just come through,
准备要装到赛车上去 ready to be fitted to the car.
不过新的变档歧管 But the new gear-change manifold
还没做完 isn't ready yet.
它还需要经过极度的负荷测试 It still needs to go through extreme stress testing.
一级方程式赛车的动力 The power of a Formula One car
能暴露出哪怕显微级的缺陷 will expose even a microscopic weakness.
赛道上的一个小问题 And a failure on track
可能会毁了整个比赛 could ruin a entire race.
歧管被接到动力测试架上 The manifold is hooked up to a powered test rig.
该架能够产生和F1发动机 The rig produces the same output
同样的输出功率 as an F1 engine.
它能达到近290公里的时速 It hits nearly 290 kilometers per hour
并且进行突然变档 and slam through the gear changes,
模拟在赛道上全力开动的状态 mimicking a full throttle lap on track.
新制造出来的零件过关了 The newly fabricated part passes.
现在能把变速箱栓接到发动机上了 Now the team can bolt the gearbox to the engine.
一级方程式赛车上 In Formula One,
发动机和变速箱结构上是一个整体 the engine and gearbox are structurally integral pieces.
它们把后轮固定在底座上面 They hold the rear wheels to the chassis.
马力全开时 At full power,
F1的发动机每秒消耗450升空气 a F1 engine will use 450 liters of air a second.
一个车手一个赛季要用 A driver can go through eight of them
八台发动机 in a season.
方向盘已经制作好了 A steering wheel has been rebuilt.
F1车手的所有控制都差不多 Almost all an F1 driver's controls
被挤到上面去了 are squeezed onto the wheel.
换挡 The gears,
离合器 the clutch,
科思加力 the KERS boost.
甚至还有一个饮料瓶按钮 There's even a button for the drink's bottle.
当车手按下该按钮时 When the driver presses it,
水就通过头盔被泵入 water is piped into his mouth
车手口中 through his helmet.
随着白天渐渐到了下午 As the day passes into the afternoon,
赛车也开始真正成型 the cars are really taking shape.
不过还有个问题 But there is a problem
可能会所有计划前功尽弃 that threatens to derail the whole schedule.
我们在安装底板 We are wiring on floors.
只要我们有了底板 So once we get the floors,
我们就完工了 we'll be done.
但是… But...
一切就这样都停了下来 it seems to grounding to a halt in a minute.
但是这意味着车队要等待 But it means the team needs to wait
多个零件 for multiple parts
然后赛车才能被运走 before the car is ready to be shipped.
我们拿不到底板 Until we get out floor,
这部分就没法完成 that part can't be done.
这真是个等待的游戏 It's just a waiting game, really.
而我们在等底板 And we're waiting for floors.
要确定各个设备和零件 To make sure none of the equipment or parts
不会在运输中受损 are damaged in transit.
一切都要按照 Everything is packed
非常特定的顺序包装 in a very particular order.
要是有什么还没完成 If something isn't finished,
那么剩下的也不能被装起来 then nothing else can be packed away.
在他们要离家数周之前的最后夜晚 On their last night before they are away from home for weeks,
车队看来要很晚才能就绪 the team are looking at a very late finish.
有个部件刚好按时到达 One part has arrived just in time.
新的前翼 The new front wing.
它被送到了不干胶车间 It's coming to the sticker shop.
每个赞助商的标志 都必须被放置到合适位置 Every sponsor's badge has to be perfectly placed.
表面要非常光滑，这一点很重要 It's important that they are quite smooth,
因为这样才不会影响 汽车的空气动力学性能 so it doesn't effect the aerodynamics of the car.
为了减少重量 To save on weight,
不干胶都尽可能地做得很薄 the stickers are specially produced to be as thin as possible.
前翼终于完全做好了 The front wing is finally complete.
