Blistering

轮胎起泡

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.

轮胎或部分轮胎过热的后果，过多的热量会导致橡胶变软，并从轮胎上大块地脱落。起泡可能是由于选择了不合适的轮胎配方(例如，对于赛道条件太软的轮胎)，过高的轮胎压力或不正确赛车调教造成的。

Blue Flag

蓝旗

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，蓝旗是一种标志，用来警示被套全车手，他们将要被领先车手追赶超越。这个标志告诉后场车手要让领先车手通过，以免干扰到比赛中的领先车手。

车体

以上为F1官网给出的说法，但是个人认为brake balance更多的时候单纯的表示制动平衡本身

Braking Point

制动点

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，制动点是指车手在进入弯道前所选择的减速点，这是他们开始制动的位置。准确选择和掌握合适的制动点对于成功通过弯道和赛车操控至关重要。
