Almighty Athlete Chapter 272: It’s another rain battle (16/20)

Former Formula One Shanghai races will be held in October, and this year is the first time to move to April. The reason for moving to April is also because of the economic crisis.

As the world’s most money-burning sport, Formula One racing is obviously the most severely affected by the economic crisis. In response to the economic crisis, some teams have begun to reduce personnel and reduce costs. Like Honda, they sell the team directly. Withdrew from the Formula One game.

After the China Grand Prix last year, the F1 Racing Association (fom) asked the organizers about the possibility of moving the 2009 race to April. In this way, it is possible to gather several adjacent events together and save the team's expenses. As a result, the order of the first three stations of this year's Formula One race is Australia, Malaysia and China. From the south to the north, the plane brought the car and personnel over, and the team saved a lot of expenses.

And advance the game to April, you can also avoid the Shanghai Tennis Masters in October, which can avoid the diversion of spectators. It should be known that since the Shanghai Tennis Masters Tournament, tickets for the f1 competition have been worse than one year, 200,000 spectator seats are simply dissatisfied, and the organizer is also losing money every year.

In this year's competition, because of the existence of Zhang Guan, the Chinese Grand Prix has become one of the best-selling tickets. The Formula One race has also changed from the decline of many years and fought over.

It’s just that the gods don’t make beauty. The first time China’s race was changed to April, it encountered heavy rain.

In the qualifying session yesterday, the sun was still shining brightly, but today’s race is a heavy rain, and the dark clouds in the sky obviously don’t mean to stop. The weather forecast issued by the game This also confirms that there will be continuous rainfall today.

The audience is still enthusiastic. Every grandstand is full of people. They came in the rain and watched the Zhang Guan game.

The main grandstand has a canopy, and the situation will be better. The two grandstands in the east and the west also have huge round umbrellas, which can also have some effects. You can only wear a raincoat or an umbrella and sit on a wet chair to cheer for the drivers you support.

Red Bull Racing’s Newey looked up at the sky, letting the rain hit his thin cheeks, his deep eyes radiating a worried color.

Newey is not worried about the Red Bull Racing or the driver. He is still very confident in the car he designed, and the two drivers in the team are very good. What Newey is worried about is Zhang Guan.

"It's raining. I didn't expect that after the Malaysian station, another rain battle was ushered in. Two consecutive rain battles. Will this be a variable of this game?" Newey thought while looking up In the distance, the garage of Chinese forces in the distance.

In the last match in Malaysia, Zhang Guan's rain fighting strength led Newey to shock. Regardless of the choice of the braking point or the angle of the corner, Zhang Guan showed super first-class strength. Although the game only took more than thirty laps, and the real raining period was about ten laps, but Newey looked back at the video At the time, I could feel that the strength of Zhang Guan's rain battle is definitely above Vettel, and it can even be said to surpass the two-time world champion Alonso.

Newey knows that there are too many variables in the rain battle. Maybe a skid will bury a whole game, and the most stable weapon in the rain battle is the technology. The better the technology, the more the driver It is easy to minimize the variables in the rain battle.

In addition to Red Bull, Ferrari, McLaren, Renault, BMW Sauber and other teams are not afraid to underestimate the strength of Zhang Guan's rain battle.

Maybe the only one who is happy is Omi of Force India. At this time, Omi was still immersed in the joy of yesterday. The Zhang Guan started in the last place, which brought Omi a continued good mood, because the two cars of Force India are in the 18th and 19th places, which happens to be Ranked in front of Zhang Guan.

So Omi set a new goal for the two drivers of his team, that is to block Zhang Guan.

"We only got the last two in qualifying. In this race, our car is obviously not too competitive, so I don’t require the two to earn points, but I hope the two of you can block Zhang Guan!" Omi said, extending a finger, and then said: "One round of ten thousand dollars! If you can block one round of Zhang Guan, I will reward you ten thousand dollars and two rounds It’s $20,000, and so on. If you can successfully block Zhang Guan56 laps, there will be an additional 560,000 bonuses."

As soon as they heard that there was money, the two Force India drivers suddenly felt full of momentum.

At present, the two drivers of Force India are Fisichella and Sudir.

Fisichella is a veteran. He is only one year younger than Barrichello. He is already 36 years old this year, so he is the oldest driver in the Formula One this year after Barrichello. Fisichella's pinnacle was mainly spent in Renault, and assisted Alonso won two consecutive championships, and now he also hopes to mix a pension contract. So he joined a new team like Force India. Force India also needs this kind of driver. Although it is older, it is still a young sword. The salary is not high. More than ten years of racing experience can also help the team quickly integrate into the Formula One sport. in.

For drivers such as Fischera, the ranking and ease are no longer important. Money is what he needs most, so when he heard a 10,000 US dollars bonus, Fisichella could not help Both eyes shine.

And Sudir of Force India is a driver with sponsors~IndoMTL.com~ Sudir is a German and has some strength, but compared to his compatriots Vettel and Rosberg, The difference is not a little bit, but Sudir’s sponsors are very powerful, since Sudir has generously sponsored Sudir since the f3 era. Until he joined f1, he also came with a sponsor contract.

Many fans have more memories of Sutil than the bar fight in 2011. When Sutil and Hamilton were in the bar, they clashed with the Renault team boss and stabbed with a broken wine bottle. The owner of the Renault team. From this point of view, this Sudir is not a good baby.

......

Ross Brown stared blankly at the rain outside, wondering what he was thinking.

Beside, an engineer hurried over and said, "The news was just announced at the race. Because of the heavy rain, the race will be started under the guidance of the safety car."

"The car started under the lead of the safety car!" Ross Brown raised his head and looked at the car that had just been launched in the garage.

"This is good news for us, maybe Zhang Guan can really bet on winning!" (To be continued.)
