"This is really a race without urinary points. Schumacher and Zhang Guan have been fighting from the beginning of the game to the end of the game. The two people contributed a wonderful offensive and defensive battle. In the end, the car king still failed to complete the Zhang Guan Beyond it, Zhang Guan crossed the finish line with a lead of 1.8 seconds. 1.8 seconds is not even a gap on other circuits, but on the high-speed circuit of Spa, it is really difficult to distance the drivers. But in the post-match press conference, Zhang Guan did not consider himself a winner, and car king Schumacher praised the performance of Zhang Guan in the race."-"Racing" magazine.
At the press conference after the Belgian Grand Prix, three people in red racing suits sat on the podium. At first glance, they even thought they were all from the same team.
"Zhang Guan, congratulations on your victory in the Belgian Grand Prix. This is your ninth race winner this year, and you beat the car king Schumacher in today’s race. What special feelings do you have, Would you like to share it with everyone?" a local reporter asked first.
"I am honored to be able to compete with Schumacher, but I think this game, I did not win. At best, Schumacher and I just tied. I am in a defensive position during the game, everyone should know It's easier to defend than to attack. If I were to attack and Schumacher defended, I might have been far off him." Zhang Guan replied with a smile.
Schumacher fans are clearly very satisfied with the answer given by Zhang Guan. The sport of racing is different from other sports. In the eyes of many people, racing drivers are more gentleman than athletes in other sports. After the competition, toasting each other seems to have become the unspoken rule of the sport. Sometimes two people Even if there is hatred, they will not blame each other. This is different from boxing. In boxing, whether before or after the game, the fighters are always opposed to each other, just like pouring gunpowder.
......
With the end of the Belgian Grand Prix, Zhang Guan stood firmly at the top of the standings with 103 points. Compared with the points of other drivers, the media have played the banner that Zhang Guan has won this year's championship in advance.
This year’s F1 race has the last five races remaining, which means the driver can earn up to 50 points. At present, the second place is Zhang Guan teammate Barrichello. He has 58 points, and he is the only driver who is theoretically likely to exceed Zhang Guan in total points. However, as the second driver of China Power Team, Barrichello even Is forced to retire, will not go beyond Zhang Guan.
The third-place Vettel currently has 51 points. Even if Vettel won the championship in the last five games, Vettel's points can only reach 101 points. Zhang Guan even won one point in the last five games. , Still two points more than Vettel. So Vettel is no longer able to surpass Zhang Guan in total points.
The third-place Vettel cannot exceed Zhang Guan, and of course the drivers behind are even more impossible, so Zhang Guan has actually won the F1 championship this year five races ahead of schedule.
The championship has lost its suspense, but the attention of Formula One has greatly increased. Schumacher’s comeback is one reason, and the contest between Schumacher and Zhang Guan is another reason, especially the huge China. The audience group has brought unlimited business opportunities to Formula One.
......
September 11, a special day, the United States held a variety of commemorative events, and on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean, the Monza circuit in Italy, the F1 Italian Grand Prix also began Friday practice.
The Monza circuit is the fastest track in F1. This high-speed circuit is also a very dangerous circuit. It is not because the car accidents are more frequent, but because the accident occurs. There will be a lot of casualties.
For example, the bad weather of the Sepang circuit in Malaysia, there will be accidents in almost every year of the race, but it is unlikely to kill people, so the circuit is not dangerous. It was built after the 21st century At the beginning of the design of the track, the first consideration is safety. Only those veteran circuits in Europe, almost every one will bear the life of the driver.
The safety requirements of the F1 race are getting higher and higher. After the sadness of the car **** Senna, no F1 driver died because of a racing accident. The worst thing is the Paralympic champion introduced earlier. Lost legs. Around 2000, Schumacher's broken leg was considered a very serious accident. But in Monza, even in the 21st century, some people still died due to accidents. In 2000, a series of five cars collided, causing a track worker to be hit by fragments of the car and unfortunately die.
Ferrari As an Italian brand, Monza Circuit is obviously the home of Ferrari. Ferrari has occupied 40% of the previous Monza Circuit championships. Since it is the home of Ferrari, of course, it is also the home of Schumacher. Schumacher drives a red Ferrari and has won five championships here. It can be said that the king of this track is still Schumacher.
In fact, in those old European circuits, Schumacher will always be in touch with the king of the track. In modern F1, Schumacher's achievements are indeed unmatched.
For Ferrari, they can give up any one race, but they must not give up Monza, even if their car is rotten, they will sacrifice everything to win a Monza podium. The fans here are also the craziest in Europe. When Schumacher won the championship here for the first time, the fans rushed into the track even before the race was over, celebrating Schumacher, and the final celebration After a riot, hundreds of fans were taken to the hospital, and hundreds of fans were taken to the police station. The performance of those fans is not much better than that of British football hooligans, and it can make fans crazy like fans, enough to see Ferrari's influence here. For car fans, there is no red figure on the podium.
Returning to Monza, Schumacher of course is determined to win the championship, Ferrari even hopes to get two positions on the podium, but their progress is not so smooth, there will always be strong Competitors and sudden spoilers block Ferrari's dream of winning the championship.
At the Monza circuit, McLaren is a traditional Ferrari competitor. McLaren’s cars are also very suitable for high-speed circuits. Half of the previous championships at the Monza circuit belong to Ferrari. Of the remaining half, two-thirds belong to McLaren.
The spoilers are different every year, and this year's spoilers are obviously Zhang Guan. The ability of China Power's racing high-speed circuit is not inferior to Ferrari. Zhang Guan is also inseparable in the face of Schumacher, which makes the game invisibly add a lot of gunpowder.
The results of the practice session seem to confirm this. On Friday morning, Ferrari’s traditional competitors took the lead and McLaren found a suitable car configuration. Their two drivers took the first two of the practice session. name.
In the afternoon, Ferrari finally found some feelings. Schumacher successfully won the first place in the practice session on Friday afternoon, but the Renault team suddenly appeared, and Schumacher’s old friend Alonso won the second place. .
The practice session on Saturday morning belongs to China Power. Zhang Guan successfully grabbed the top spot. The three teams of Ferrari, McLaren and China Force came to the Feng Shui in the practice round and each got a practice round. The first name.
The Monza circuit has only seven corners. Compared to the twists and turns of other circuits, Monza can almost be said to be circling, and the competition here is speed. As long as the speed is fast enough, it is relatively easy to overtake and the driver There will also not be a very large distance between them. In this kind of track, a good starting position is very important, but a suitable strategy is more important. The gap between the drivers who can hardly catch more than ten laps on the track , But can be easily achieved through the pitstop strategy. For this reason, the importance of Monza qualifying has been weakened a lot.
In qualifying, perhaps due to the hopeless influence of the champion, Vettel’s performance was not ideal, he ranked behind Alonso. In front of Alonso is Barrichello, in front of Barrichello is Ferrari's Raikkonen and McLaren's Hamilton.
It was Schumacher who won the first place. Under the public attention, Schumacher exerted his strong strength to get his first pole position after his comeback. Zhang Guan ranked second with only 0.066 seconds. Compared with the previous station, the departure order of these two people happened to be reversed. Previously Zhang Guan was in front of Schumacher, but now Schumacher was in front of Zhang Guan.
......
"The F1 Italian Grand Prix is about to start, and the drivers have started to enter the tire bead. In the last race, Schumacher was behind Zhang Guan, he tried to surpass Zhang Guan throughout the race, and Today, the two of them exchanged positions and exchanged offensive and defensive positions. I think Zhang Guan will continue to challenge Schumacher. The battle between Zhang Guan and Schumacher continued from Spa to Monza!"
The narrator looked at the track and then said: "The driver is ready. When the five red lights are off, it is the time to start!"
The audience held their breaths, including the commentator, and there was no sound. They looked at the red lights one by one. When the fifth red light came on, the next five, The red light goes out at the same time.
"Departure!" As the commentator shouted, a roaring engine sounded on the track.
The starting line at Monza is a long straight. The next turn, Tribune Turn, is also a high-speed turn. For drivers, the starting can step on the accelerator to increase the speed to nearly 300 kilometers. . And this moment is also a good opportunity to try to surpass the opponent.
"Zhang Guan, coming to Schumacher's side, he will surpass Schumacher!"
There was a cry of excitement at the scene. Many people did not expect Zhang Guan to initiate the first surpass at the beginning of the game, and everyone’s eyes were focused on the first turn, where they might tell everyone that Zhang Guan was attacking. result.
Experienced Schumacher kept his first position and took the lead into the narrow turn 1, but Zhang Guan’s overtaking did not end there, because after turn 1, it was a straight road, as long as there was an excellent exit Bending speed can still surpass Schumacher.
The exit speed of Zhang Guan remains very good, but Schumacher’s exit speed is also very good. After the two came out of the 1st turn, they were still walking side by side, Schumacher led by more than half Bodywork.
"Zhang Guan is very fierce!" The commentator clenched his fists, and the two of them had no difference in victory from the start to the speed of 300 kilometers.
"Do you want to overtake me with speed? The second turn in front is a left turn, and the position of Zhang Guan will be more favorable." Schumacher was keeping his teeth tight, but still did not slow down.
"Schumi should brake! Why don't you brake?" In the command center, Ferrari manager Domenicali had started a cold sweat. The data shows that Schumacher's speed has exceeded 330 kilometers at this time. If you don't brake, you may run out of the runway at turn 2.
I saw Schumacher’s big-foot brake, and the sudden locking of the tires caused the car to have a short translation. The shock on the shoulder caused the front suspension of the car to shake up and down, but Schumacher succeeded on this basis. Grabbed a better exit position.
"Beautiful defense!" Applause rang from the stands next to Turn 2.
Schumacher’s defense made Zhang Guan miss this opportunity. Before the turn 3, Zhang Guan must not slow down and let Schumacher pass first. Turn 3 is called Rogia Turn, and it is a very dangerous corner. It happened here when the five cars that killed the track staff were picked up.
The front is a big uphill, the uphill is only a big downhill, then uphill and downhill, these are not conducive to surpassing, this attack of Zhang Guan can only come to an end.
"Hoo!" Schumacher breathed a sigh of relief. The attack and defense just made him shocked by the cold sweat. If it was not his bold defense, it might really be overtaken by Zhang Guan.
"This overtaking is really fierce enough, and his car is fast enough to be replaced by other people, maybe it will really be overtaken by Zhang Guan. It seems that this game can not be taken lightly, otherwise it will really lose It's lost." Schumacher was thinking about it, but the team's voice sounded in the headset.
“In an accident, Webber of Red Bull Racing behind you was rear-ended, his car hit a protective wall, and the second stage showed a yellow flag.” The strategy engineer reminded.
Schumacher took a long breath and showed that the yellow flag stage is not allowed to overtake. In Monza, a high-speed circuit, the second stage with the most bends shows the yellow flag, basically It means that the possibility of technical overtaking is cut off. In the other two stages, if the speed is purely competed, Ferrari does not fall.
And it will take some time to clean up the car debris on the track, it may take four or five laps, that is, during this period, Schumacher will be in a safe state.
On the sixth lap, the track was finally cleaned up, but Zhang Guan hadn’t had time to start overtaking. On the ninth lap, BMW driver Kubica’s front fixed wing end plate fell off, and the yellow flag was shown for the second time.
It was another three laps. At this time, Zhang Guan evaluated the situation of its own tires~IndoMTL.com~ temporarily gave up to attack, and on the seventeenth lap, Zhang Guan took the lead in entering the repair area to refuel.
"Schumi, Zhang Guan has just entered the station, and now it is certain that he is the same as our strategy, both are two-stop strategies." The engineer said suddenly, and said quickly, "Schumi, run faster , For a pit stop window, you must also come back in the next lap, repeat it, and come back in the next lap."
"My fuel should be able to run three more laps, and I can hold up to nineteenth lap." Schumacher replied.
"Zhang Guan has a new set of soft tires. Once his soft tires are working, the speed will be greatly improved, so you have to come back, we have to change to new soft tires, and we need one more time. A short pit stop allows you to grab in front of him." The team engineer said.
"I understand!" Schumacher sighed softly: "It seems that the second game between us has just begun!" (To be continued.)
