Almighty Athlete Chapter 258: Come fast, go fast (Twenty/Twenty)

32 The command center of China Power Convoy.

"Rosberg, who has just finished second, has also passed the timing point, and we now have an advantage of 18,133 seconds." The engineer said.

Ross Brown nodded silently and said, "Looking at the speed of their next lap, I need to know how slow it is to close Rosberg in the Zhang Guan lap. The advantage of 18133 seconds, I don’t know how many laps I can hold, I hope it can last until the end of the heavy rain! If the heavy rain ends earlier, change the dry tires as soon as possible, maybe you can overtake the results."

Like other people, Rose Brown believes that Zhang Guan is not good at rain combat. A new driver with little racing experience, even if he has demonstrated extremely high driving skills, does not mean that he has a strong ability to fight rain.

Rain battle and dry land are two completely different modes of competition. Drivers have different control methods on straights and corners. During the rain battle, there will be different braking points when entering a curve in a straight road, and there will be different angles of entry and exit, and sometimes the gears even connected are different. It may agree to a place where four gears are required on dry ground, and only three gears are enough when it rains.

More important is the Formula 1 race. The track at each stop is different. Each track has its own characteristics. Even the track will be changed every year. In this case, it is especially important for the experience to become a rain battle. Sometimes, when you slide out a certain corner more often, you will naturally know how to make a turn.

Zhang Guan has no racing experience, this is what Ross Brown knows, so Rose Brown is already mentally prepared. After changing to a rain tire, Zhang Guan will be overtaken by other drivers.

After more than a minute, Zhang Guan and Rosberg ran past the finish time.

"How is it? How much time is lost in a lap?" Brown asked.

"About 09 seconds." The engineer answered a time.

"Ross Brown frowned and calculated: "One lap was slower by 09 seconds, and we calculated it according to 1 second. If you go down like this, the 18-second gap can last for 18 laps, which can almost last until the next time. Pit stop.

"If it's raining then, it looks like we have to think of some tactics for the pit stop strategy." Rose Brown said to himself.

The engineer next to him seemed to hear Rose Brown’s words. He coughed and reminded him: “Mr. Brown, I’m very sorry. I didn’t make it clear. I mean Zhang Guan is better than No. 2 Rosber Grid is 09 seconds faster than Rosberg is 09 seconds faster than Zhang Guan!"

"What do you say? Zhang Guan will be faster than Rosberg? And still 09 seconds?" Rose Brown opened his eyes in surprise.

"Rosberg slowed us by 18133 seconds before, and when he passed the end time point just now, Rosberg slowed us by 19041 seconds!" The engineer paused, then said: "And if there is no accident, Zhang Guan The last lap may be the fastest of all drivers."

Ross Brown’s head was a little short-circuited. Everything in front of him was completely different from what he expected. Zhang Guan was not slower than others, but faster than others. It can be said that he gave Brown a big surprise again. .

"This is not common sense, Zhang Guan has no experience in driving cars, and others may have doubts about this, but I can confirm it completely. He cannot be proficient in rain combat!" Rose Brown frowned inexplicably. Then he said: "Tune me to the live video of the live game."

After a few minutes, the Ross tribe was shocked again.

"Beautiful choice, the timing of braking is just right, it can keep the speed of entering the corner, and there is the direction control. He still uses the understeer of the car, but it can just guarantee the speed of the corner!"

"Mr. Brown, the lap just now seems to be the fastest Zhang Guan." The engineer next to him said, staring at the screen.

"The Zhang Guan is the fastest again! This is the fifth consecutive lap! This kind of rain fighting strength can be said to rule the game! Since Schumacher retired, there are still people who can be in the rain fighting. It’s incredible to show such a strong dominance! It’s incredible!” Rose Brown took a long breath and put a satisfied smile on his face.

"It looks like we will really get two consecutive championships!"

In the command center of the Ferrari team, Schumacher looked at the Zhang Guan on the screen, and there was another burst of loss.

"Schumi, Schumi?" Team leader Domenechali called several times before Schumacher recovered.

"What's wrong? Schumi, is it uncomfortable? Is it a cold?" Domenechali asked.

"No, I just think that the driving style of Zhang Guan is somewhat familiar. Looking at this game picture is like watching my game video playback," Schumacher replied.

"Hehehe, it seems that the humid weather in Malaysia has really affected you, and it all made you illusion." Domenechali said while smiling, pointing at the Zhang Guan on the screen: "You and him The only thing they have in common is that you are all red cars."

"Oh, it really looks like this, maybe it's too stuffy," Schumacher said.

"Shumi, I suggest you to have an iced drink. There is also ice cream from Europe in the freezer at the back of our fleet. The vanilla and strawberry flavors are very good. I suggest you try it." Domenicali pointed to the garage behind him.

"Okay, I'll try it later." Schumacher nodded and glanced outside.

"Huh? The rain seems to be getting smaller." Schumacher looked up at the sky, and the dark cloud was thinner.

Heavy rain in Malaysia is coming fast and going fast. It began to rain on the 20th lap, and on the 27th lap, the heavy rain has basically stopped.

As a Formula 1 race track, the drainage system is definitely the world's top, and there is basically little water on the race surface. And the rain tire also has a strong drainage performance, the pattern above can bring water to the outside.

The cars on the track are basically running along a track. Nearly 20 cars pass by in a lap. The heat energy generated by the friction between the tire and the ground is enough to quickly evaporate the water, so on the 28th lap, I can clearly see two traces of dryness on the wet road.

The road is dry, and the rain tires have become cumbersome. Compared with the soft tires, there is a gap of nearly two seconds in a lap. This loss is unacceptable to the team. So some teams chose to pit and refuel, they replaced the rain tires and replaced the hard tires.

Although a tire change will almost lose 11 or 12 seconds, but after changing to a dry tire, a lap can be as fast as two seconds, only need to run six or seven laps, the time lost by the tire change can be recovered~ IndoMTL.com~ Now there are 28 laps left until the end of the race. With the performance of hard tires, you can definitely stick to the end of the race, so this tire change is equivalent to preparing to run to the end in one breath.

This is obviously also a very reasonable choice. For drivers, they will have to get in and change this set of rain tires sooner or later. Instead of getting in late, it is better to get in early to change tires, but to use dry tires instead. Run a little less time.

The leading Zhang Guan has ran to lap 29. At this time, behind him, all the cars have chosen to change their tires, and the voice of the team’s strategic engineer has sounded in the Zhang Guan headset.

"The rain has stopped. The heavy rain in Malaysia is really coming fast and going fast! You are ready to get in and change your tires! We put on a set of hard tires and then we are ready to run to the end of the game in one breath." Strategy The engineer said to the intercom.

"Pit in? How many laps are you?" Zhang Guan asked.

"29 laps, you are on the 30th lap after you leave the station." The strategy engineer replied.

Zhang Guan immediately frowned.

"No, I shouldn't stop!" To be continued.
