Almighty Athlete Chapter 249: The taste of champagne
Zhang Guan's heart (qingqíng) is also very happy. After a round of running-in, the super soft tire (set tào) he just put on has slowly begun to play a role. Although this (set tào) super soft tire is not anti-wear, but the grip is still very good, so Zhang Guan is also more at ease in the corners, he even started chatting with the team.
"How is Barrichello? What is he now?" Zhang Guan asked.
"Barrichello has just surpassed Rosberg of Williams. He is now in the fourth position, as long as he exceeds the BMW Sauber in front of him, he can be on the podium." The team replied.
"There are 10 more laps, does Barrichello have a chance to reach third place?" Zhang Guan then asked.
“There should be a chance. Vettel’s speed in these laps has slowly slowed down, it should be protecting the tires, and Kubica, the third place, has begun to approach Vettel. Both of them have the speed. Unpleasant, Barrichello should be able to catch up in the last few laps." The team's strategy engineer paused, and then said: "In addition to tell you a message, Ferrari Massa just drove the car back to the maintenance area, he Retired."
"Retired? Why? Is it an accident? There is no yellow light on my steering wheel, is there no yellow flag?" Zhang Guan then asked.
"It should be the problem of the racing engine, which cannot be added." The strategy engineer continued: "But Mr. Brown thinks it is a problem of the kinetic energy recovery system. The kinetic energy recovery system is obviously not yet mature, even for Ferrari. "
In this race, Ferrari’s kinetic energy recovery system did not help them, but instead caused problems with their engines. The kinetic energy recovery systems of other teams are similar, and some simply break down halfway through the race.
At this time of the race, the last pit stop refueling has been completed, and this strategic engineer of China Power seems to be bored. He simply chatted with Zhang Guan.
On lap 53, Kubica in third place finally bite Vettel in second place, and Kubica then attacked Vettel.
Vettel’s tire wear is obviously greater, but he still uses good driving skills to defend, until lap 55, Kubica surpassed Vettel from the outside, Vettel stopped the inside. Willing to give in, the two went side by side into the right turn.
Kupica’s driving style is also offensive. He once crashed at a speed of more than 300 kilometers per hour in the Canadian race. At that time, the car turned over several times in the air, and the whole car crashed. Only the cockpit is left. This is also the most serious accident in Formula One in recent years, and thanks to the fact that Hyundai's F1 protects the drivers in place, if it is placed ten years ago, he will definitely die in the same accident.
Kubica dares to kill, but Vettel also does not counsel. This is a right turn, and Vettel occupies the inner lane, so it goes without saying that Kubica should give Vettel a car. Vettel thought so too, so he didn't slow down, but what he didn't expect was that Kubica didn't give up at all. The BMW Sauber car hit the Red Bull's front suspension directly, and Vettel could no longer continue the race. Kubica was not much better. After the crash, he lost control of the car and directly hit the wall. In a battle, both sides lost both sides.
Both the second and third places were out. (Body Shēn) was full of joy for Barrichello, who was in fourth place, and he rose to second place. McLaren's Hamilton also became third because of Ferrari's retirement and this accident.
The safety car once again walked out of the repair station, and at this time, the appearance of the safety car means that the final race result is locked. Because the safety car is not allowed to overtake after the track in the preliminary race, it is calculated at the minimum lap speed. The safety car takes out one lap of time, leading the driver to take another lap of time and returning to the repair station. It takes another lap of time, that is, a safety car has to be ran for at least three laps, and now the race has reached the 55th lap, and 58 laps from the end of the game are just the last three laps, which is equivalent to let the race The safety car is over.
In fact, even if there are a few more laps, the result will not change. The first place is Zhang Guan, and the second place is Barrichello. Barrichello will certainly not be so eye-opening and surpass himself at the end of the game. Boss. So by this time the big picture is set, the only thing left is for the drivers to pass the finish line under the leadership of the safety car.
......
Under the guidance of the safety car, the first two red cars are particularly conspicuous.
"The top two are Chinese forces, and they will finish the race according to this order. I think before the race, no one will think of this result! A new team is actually in the opener. It took the top two, and this was the first game they participated in."
"In the big team, the Ferrari particles failed, and McLaren, who was ranked 18th, started on the podium. McLaren’s strategy is still very successful. But compared to The new team from China Power has shocked us. The 18 starters on the podium are really not worth mentioning."
"Cross the finish line and finish the race! Zhang Guan won the first place! Another Formula One race was born with another champion. And this is the first game of Zhang Guan, and it is his first time to participate. In the racing competition, the first Formula One race won the championship, and Zhang Guan made another history. Prior to this, the best result obtained by the driver for the first time in the Formula One race was the runner-up runner-up. That was set by Lewis-Hamilton years ago. Today, Zhang Guan broke this result! The first race in the sub-station is already the best result, and no one can do better in the future!"
"Zhang Guan is worthy of being the best athlete in the world. He was born for the championship. He has challenged the limits of the human body (shēn) countless times. He is the fastest person in the world, Today, he once again challenged the limits of the car, he won the first championship in this fastest sport on land!"
"China Power not only won the driver's championship in this battle~IndoMTL.com~ but also won the team championship. An independent team took the top two in a race, and it has not been like this for many years (( Love qíng). Is the era of Ferrari's dominance of Formula One coming to an end? Maybe this year's Formula One competition will usher in a new shuffle!"
......
The Zhang Guan stood at the center of the awards platform. He took off his hat and heard the sound of the national anthem in his ears.
Afterwards, he turned on the champagne. He sprayed the champagne to his teammate Barrichello, to Ross Brown who was on stage to receive the award, and to the audience below.
The bubbles in the champagne bottle finally disappeared, and a large bottle of champagne has been sprayed out for more than half.
Zhang Guan raised the bottle and took a few sips.
"How does champagne taste?" Ross Brown's voice rang from the side.
"Not tasted." Zhang Guan raised the champagne bottle, waved at the audience, and then said: "I think it should be sweet! At least my heart is sweet." (~^~)
