Almighty Athlete Chapter 259: Listen to the boss (three/twentieth)
In the memory of 29Zhang Guan, the Malaysian Grand Prix at this stop showed 05 points, which is a special case that does not necessarily occur once in ten years. The reason is because the Malaysian Grand Prix did not complete the full 75 due to heavy rain, so the driver's points were halved.
A total of 56 laps in Sepang, 75 is equal to 42 laps, which means that in this game, even 42 laps have not been completed.
Of course Zhang Guan can’t remember how many laps the game last ran, but what is certain is that the final number of laps is definitely less than 42 laps, so there will be only 05 points. And now it has reached the 30th lap, which means that in the next 12 laps, there will inevitably be a heavy rain.
In reality, it is impossible to stop the game as soon as it rains. At least one or two laps of buffering process is required. If you subtract two laps from 12 laps, it is 10 laps, so within 10 laps, it will inevitably rain .
"10 laps, this should be the largest number. The actual situation will definitely be less than 10 laps, maybe seven or eight laps? Five or six laps? Even three or four laps? If it is heavy rain after seven or eight laps The time it takes to change a dry tire is basically the same as the time that the rain tire continues to run, but if it rains after three or four laps, it is a waste of time to enter the station and change the tire! That is to say, the most tire change The good situation is just not to lose money, not to change tires. If you continue to run with this set of rain tires, you will definitely make a profit without losing money!"
Zhang Guan thought of this and said to the radio: "I will not change the tires first. I see there are many dark clouds in the sky. Maybe it will rain."
"But the road surface is already dry now. Do you want to run down with this set of rain tires? In this way, you will lose nearly two seconds of time in one lap. We have calculated that if you change to a set of dry tires, just run Seven or eight laps, there is no loss. If it rains again, you can come back and change to a rain tire." This time it was Rose Brown who heard Zhang Guan saying no tire change and immediately picked up the intercom.
"Give me a few more laps, there are still many places on the track that are still slippery. And I still have a lot of oil, and I will have to refuel when I enter the station." Zhang Guan said.
"Okay! You are the boss, you are the one to say!" Ross Brown said angrily. His tone was full of complaints. Obviously he did not like Zhang Guan's gestures towards the team.
In fact, Rose Brown is a very strong person. The person who can achieve this achievement is certainly not a docile Newfoundland dog. If it wasn't for Zhang Guan to give Rose Brown enough surprises through performance, and now Zhang Guan's lead is also big enough, Rose Brown may be soaring on the spot.
"Then I will let Rubens Barrichello come in and change the tires!" Ross Brown said casually.
"What time is Barrichello now?" Zhang Guan asked immediately.
"Second, just behind you, there is a gap of more than twenty seconds between you. He was originally ranked fourth, but Rosberg in second and Trulli in third They all pitted and changed their tires, so Rubens is now second." Rose Brown said.
"If Barrichello enters the station to change tires, what number will he be out of again?" Zhang Guan then asked.
"Let me take a look at En, it is the fifth! He will also be behind Rosberg and Trulli, and BMW’s Heidfeld is also using rain tires, so it will also be in front of Rubens. , But I think Hayfield will also pit in and change the tires." Rose Brown said.
"Then I suggest that Barrichello wait a little bit before changing the tire." Zhang Guan said immediately.
"What? You don’t have to change the tire, and you don’t want Rubens to change the tire? Do you want to keep running with this rain tire?" Ross Brown thought carefully, and immediately understood the reason, he said Said: "I understand what you mean, are you gonna rain immediately?"
"Yes." Zhang Guan went on to say: "If I change the tires at the pit stop, my lead is large enough. Even if I come out of the repair station, it is still the first, but Barrichello will be transferred to the fifth, we It’s better to gamble, if it’s really raining, we will enter the station one less time, which is the first and second place! Both consecutive stations will take the top two!”
"Your ideas are bold enough. Are track and field athletes all gamblers?" Rose Brown took a deep breath, he thought for two seconds, and then said: "I will pass on your suggestions Rubens, let him choose for himself!"
Barrichello is running alone on the track.
He is more than 20 seconds away from Zhang Guan. Such a long distance is obviously not visible to the shadow of Zhang Guan, and the driver behind him is entering or just leaving the station, and the tires are not hot. stand up. What Barrichello could see at this time was the few local trains in the distance ahead that were about to be lapped by him.
"Rubens." Rose Brown's voice came from the radio call.
"Did you inform me to get in for a dry tire?" Barrich Rome asked.
"Originally, but now you need to make your own decision. I just talked to Zhang Guan. He is not ready to pit in now. He thinks we should bet." Rose Brown said.
"Gamble? What do you mean?" Barrichello asked.
"Betting that it will rain again soon. So be prepared to use this set of rain tires for a while, and he also advises you to do so." Rose Brown said.
Barrichello instantly understood the intention of Zhang Guan. After all, he is a veteran driver with 16 years of Formula One racing experience, and he is also well aware of various pitstop strategies.
"If I enter the station, where will I fall?" Barrich Rome asked~IndoMTL.com~ according to the current situation, it is the fifth place. "Ross Brown said immediately.
Barrichello immediately began weighing the pros and cons.
"Pit tire change will fall to the fifth place, if not, although it is the second place. If it does not rain, the lead will soon be overtaken by other cars, the second place can not be guaranteed. But If it rains, my set of rain tires will last for a period of time, which saves one pit stop, maybe I can really finish the race in second place. How do I choose?" Barrichello looked up and looked away The sky is everywhere, but he is not a professional meteorologist, and he cannot see whether it will rain, and even a professional meteorologist cannot accurately forecast the weather in a place like Malaysia that says it will rain.
"It may be a mistake not to change tires in the station. This is indeed a bet that God will rain. But this is the idea of Zhang Guan, he is the boss! Well, do it according to the boss’s intention, even if it is a crime I made a mistake, and the boss came to me. I wouldn’t blame it on me. Besides, I’m already 37 years old. Maybe there is no team asking me next year. I want to mix another one or two pension contracts. Well, let's do what the boss wants!"
Barrichello thought of this and said, "I'll wait a second!" To be continued.
