In the position of the winner of the podium, Barrichello was already in tears of excitement.
He did not give up the car. In the last ten laps, he led all the way and crossed the finish line first. He won the European Grand Prix.
For Barrichello, all this seems to be a dream. He is already 37 years old. Before Schumacher came back, he was the oldest driver on the racing track. A group of multi-year-old boys could not compete in the fiercely f1 It is a blessing to have a firm foothold in the middle and he can still stay in f1 with a job.
Barrichello thinks this may be his last season in f1. This season, Barrichello is indeed very cautious. Although he has a fast car, he is naturally the second driver. With the consciousness of being the No. 2 driver, he won't even dare to think about the winner of the race.
If it was ten years ago, even five years ago, a champion of the sub-station would not make Barrichello so excited, but now it is different. In the last year of his career, he can still stand. In the middle of the podium, enjoying the glory of the championship, this is indeed the best reward for a veteran driver with more than ten years of F1 experience.
The champion of a sub-station is that although it will not have an immediate impact on the final outcome of the season, it at least proves that Barrichello is still in a good state. Although Lianpo still eats more than the average guy, a champion of the race, *.qulu. With Barrichello's skills and experience, it is enough to ensure that he will not lose his job next season.
"Thank you! Boss, thank you! You are the best boss!" Barrichello embraced Zhang Guan. He knew that if Zhang Guan was not actively proposed by Zhang Guan, the team would definitely give instructions to let the car. The champion of the substation was given to him by Zhang Guan.
Zhang Guan smiled and patted Barrichello on the shoulder, he could feel the veteran's joy.
"I'm not just your boss, don't forget that we are comrades!" Zhang Guan said.
"Comrade! It's a comrade!" Barrichello seemed incoherent.
Next to Hamilton, he was very depressed. He would have won at least a second place, but because of the engineer’s tire change mistake, he fell to the third place, and for two reasons, he lost two points. That said, one step further from the championship.
Zhang Guan won the runner-up in this race. At present, he has won a total of 93 points. Barrichello in the second place has 6 points. Zhang Guan still has an advantage of 37 points. Vettel, who ranked third in the overall score list, retired because of an engine explosion. The gap between him and Zhang Guan has widened to 47 points.
The fourth place is a name that Zhang Guan did not think of: Michael Schumacher.
Schumacher surpassed his teammate Raikkonen and reached fourth place when he was still three laps from the end of the game. Although it is still uncertain whether Schumacher’s strength in this overtaking book was still Raikkonen’s intention Car, but what is certain is that Schumacher has basically recovered his race status.
After returning to the stadium after three years, the first game won the championship. For Schumacher, it is already a perfect comeback, and the next stop is the Belgian Grand Prix, which is Schumacher’s first crown. Where people have more expectations for Schumacher.
......
The Force China team once again took the top two, and Barrichello, who won the championship, generously packed a restaurant. All the staff of the team are invited to have a big meal to thank them.
Zhang Guan sat in the corner, holding the dinner plate, but his face did not show too excited.
It all came from Schumacher.
Schumacher came back in the next season, but now appears on the field this season. And in the memory of Zhang Guan, Schumacher's comeback is not very satisfactory in terms of results. At least there is still a long way to go to compete for the championship. Many professionals also think that Schumacher's comeback is a failure. However, the result of the fourth place in the European station clearly shows that Schumacher's state is recovering very quickly, which is also a deviation from the perception of Zhang Guan.
"What are you worrying about? Are you worried about the championship?" I don't know when Ross Brown has arrived next to Zhang Guan. He went on to say: "You have now scored 93 points, which is still far from this season. There are six stations, and other drivers want to surpass the possibility that you have only theory left. Maybe two more stations, even the theory does not exist."
"I was thinking about Schumacher. He hasn't participated in the competition for three years. How can he run so fast?" Zhang Guan asked.
"That's normal, he's Schumacher! It's right to run fast." Ross Brown said with his hands spread out.
"But that's not his car, that car originally belonged to Massa." Zhang Guan went on: "I remember you told me that every driver's needs for the car are different, and the driver will follow Tuning the car for my own needs, such as me, if you drive the Barrichello car, you will definitely be very uncomfortable. Should Schumacher be an exception?"
"Of course, Schumacher is no exception. Any driver who drives a car that he is not familiar with is unlikely to achieve good results. But you have just said that Schumacher drove the previous car from Massa. So for Schumacher, it is not a car that he is not familiar with." Rose Brown explained.
"What do you mean?" Zhang Guan asked somewhat puzzled.
"Before Schumacher retired, Massa was Ferrari's second driver and Schumacher's partner. At that time, Massa replaced Barrichello and entered Ferrari. At that time, Massa was still very young. He was from Schumacher. I learned a lot from him. He even imitated Schumacher's driving style for a while, but he didn't have the amazing talent of Schumacher. It can be said that the current Massa is like a poor man's Shu in terms of technical characteristics. Mach, in many ways, Massa and Schumacher are in the same line." Ross Brown said.
"So Schumacher is very familiar with Massa's racing tuning. Massa's demand for racing has many similarities with Schumacher's demand for racing, does this mean?" Zhang Guan asked.
"You understand it right, but Schumacher can adapt to Massa's car so quickly, which is somewhat beyond my expectations, but think about it, he is Schumacher, the greatest car in the world. Hand, perhaps in the world of F1, there is nothing he can't do." Ross Brown said.
"But for us, the upcoming confrontation will be a strong opponent." Zhang Guan hurriedly followed: "One of the world's top racers, plus a world-class car given by Ferrari, More importantly, he also adapted to this car. In the next race, Schumacher may be my biggest competitor!"
"If I agree with you before today's game." Ross Brown smiled meaningfully: "But after today's game, I think you can remove the word "maybe", Schumacher It will definitely become your next biggest competitor."
"Because there is Belgium? Because there is Spa track?" Zhang Guan asked.
"Yes, there is Belgium, there is the Spa Circuit, and Schumacher is the king there!" Ross Brown continued: "Schumacher once won six championships here, so he is known as' King of Spa'! You are about to compete with the king of the circuit at Spa, do you feel very stressed?"
"No, I feel very excited now! I look forward to playing with him at Spa." Zhang Guan said.
Ross Brown nodded in satisfaction. He continued: "The Spa is the biggest drop among all the tracks. This track is built on the mountain, so it is very steep, and the lap length of the track is more than At seven kilometers, this track has steep slopes, smooth large-curve bends, narrow thin bends, and variable weather. More importantly, this is a high-speed track. This track is for everyone. It’s a challenge for drivers, and even many drivers think that Spa is the most difficult circuit in the world. Being able to win the championship on this circuit may not necessarily have the fastest car, but it definitely needs the best technology. .Do you know who was the last'King of Spar' before Schumacher?"
Zhang Guan shook his head, and Ross-Brown explained: "Before Schumacher, the'King of Spa' was Senna, the car **** Senna. He won five Spa Circuit championships, second only And Schumacher. In addition, Jim Clark won four Spas and Damon Hill won three Spas. Now do you understand that this track is Formula One Prepared by the King! To conquer Formula One, you must first conquer Spa!"
"Conquer Spa..." Zhang Guan repeated this sentence, and then nodded seriously: "I will!"
......
The f1 European Grand Prix and the Belgian Grand Prix are a back-to-back race, so after the European race, all teams rushed to Belgium non-stop to prepare for the Belgian Grand Prix that will begin on the weekend.
Spa is a semi-highway track. The so-called half-kilometer track refers to a part of the track that exists in the form of a road. Some civilian cars on the road can pass through at ordinary times, and the part of the track is closed. When there is a race, the road is sealed and the track is partially open, which can form a lap of the track.
This circuit has very high requirements on the driver's skills. Without excellent technology, it is impossible to run out of the limit speed on this track. Therefore, the champions of the Spa track also hit more, basically those familiar faces, even the village, or the village every other year. Of the drivers participating this year, only two have ever won the championship at Spa, one is Schumacher and the other is Raikkonen. If Schumacher does not return, only Räikkönen has won the championship here, and has won three consecutive championships.
Belgian spectators also have unusual feelings and special expectations for Schumacher. Seventeen years ago, it was on this track that the Belgian witnessed Schumacher’s first sub-championship and witnessed Shu Mach started his road to the king of cars, and today, the Belgians have begun to wait for the first coronation after the return of the king of cars.
As a high-speed track, cars using high-speed engines are definitely dominant. For the past ten years, the Belgian champions have been almost monopolized by Ferrari and McLaren because of the engines of Ferrari and Mercedes-Benz Both are high-speed engines. But now, the China Power Team, which also uses Mercedes-Benz engines, has become a spoiler between Ferrari and McLaren.
The pre-match press conference was full of gunpowder. Whether it is Ferrari or McLaren, they vowed to fight for the championship of Belgium, especially the Ferrari team, and they are full of confidence in Belgium. Their car was originally It is more suitable for this kind of circuit, and the two people who have won the championship in Belgium are also in the Ferrari team.
However, the practice session on Friday was not fair, the practice just started, and it was raining at the Spa. The drivers had to end the morning practice in the rain battle, and the rain came There were a few accidents that were not too big.
Belgium is a very livable country in Europe. The temperate maritime climate keeps Belgium warm in winter and cool in summer. The average temperature in summer is only around degrees, but the average temperature in winter is above zero degrees. It's just that for tires, this is not a perfect temperature, and the frequent sudden rainfall also increases the burden on drivers.
The weather on Friday afternoon suddenly became very different. The sky above the track was blue and white clouds. The warm sunshine had already dried the track. The unique aroma of the earth in the mountains, along with the water vapor, walked around, slowly Walking into everyone's nostrils, the only flaw is the occasional smell of gasoline.
The results of the practice match did not exceed everyone’s expectations. Ferrari, McLaren and China Power cars can easily enter the top ten. In addition to these three teams, Toyota and BMW Sauber are in Belgium. The performance is also very good, their car is also very suitable for this high-speed track.
At the qualifying session on Saturday afternoon, Toyota and BMW Sauber once again gave everyone a surprise. Trulli of Toyota team actually took pole position, while Hayfield of BMW Sauber team took second place. This result surprised many people. People thought that pole position would be born in the three teams of Ferrari, McLaren and China Power, but it was unexpected that the two unobtrusive teams of Toyota and BMW Sauber~IndoMTL.com~ got the first row. This can be regarded as a huge upset.
Another upset is that neither McLaren team's two cars have made it to the top ten. If it wasn't for China Power, it would definitely be a Mercedes-Benz engine problem.
Two of China Power’s two cars are in third and fifth, which prevents McLaren from throwing the black pot to the racing engine. Zhang Guan took third place, and Barrichello was in fifth place with a gap of .33 seconds.
......
"Zhang Guan, the fourth place is Schumacher, he will start in the same row with you!" The voice of Ross Brown sounded in the headphones.
Zhang Guan excitedly grabbed the steering wheel with some excitement. This news was so sudden that he didn't even anticipate that his head-to-head confrontation with Schumacher arrived so soon! (To be continued.)
