18　　 The command center of the China Force convoy.
"Rosberg, who has just finished second, has also passed the timing point, and we now have an advantage of 18.133 seconds," the engineer said.
Ross Brown nodded silently and said, "Looking at the speed of their next lap, I need to know how slow it is for Zhang Guan to close Rosberg. The advantage of 18.133 seconds, I don't know if I can hold a few laps, I hope Let’s stay until the end of the heavy rain! If the heavy rain ends earlier, replace the dry tires as soon as possible, maybe you can overtake the results."
Like others, Ross Brown believes that Zhang Guan is not good at rain combat. A new driver with little racing experience, even if he has demonstrated extremely high driving skills, does not mean that he has strong rain combat capabilities.
Rain battle and dry land are two completely different modes of competition. Drivers have different control methods in straight and corners. During the rain battle, there will be different braking points for straight road entering the curve, different angles of entering and exiting, and sometimes the gears even connected are different. It may agree to a place where four gears are required on dry ground, and only three gears are enough when it rains.
More importantly, in the Formula One race, the track at each stop is different, each track has its own characteristics, and even the track will be changed every year. In this case, experience becomes a particularly important point for rain battles. Sometimes, when you slide out of a curve more often, you will naturally know how to make a turn.
Zhang Guan has no racing experience. This is what Ross Brown knows, so Ross Brown is already mentally prepared. After changing to the rain tire, Zhang Guan will be overtaken by other drivers.
More than a minute later, Zhang Guan and Rosberg ran past the end timing point.
"How is it? How long is the lap?" Brown asked.
"About 0.9 seconds." The engineer answered a time. "Ross-Brown frowned and calculated: "It was 0.9 seconds slower in one lap, and we calculated it according to 1 second. According to this, the gap of 18 seconds can still hold 18 laps, which is almost able to support the next entry. station.
"If the rain is still raining by then, it looks like we have to think of some ways in the pit stop strategy." Ross Brown said to himself.
The engineer next to him seemed to hear Ross Brown's words. He coughed and reminded him: "Mr. Brown, I'm very sorry. I didn't make it clear just now. I mean Zhang Guanbi than Rosberg in second place. It was 0.9 seconds faster than Rosberg was 0.9 seconds faster than Zhang Guan!"
"What are you talking about? Zhang Guan will be faster than Rosberg? And still 0.9 seconds?" Ross Brown opened his eyes in surprise.
"Rosberg slowed us by 18.133 seconds before, and when he passed the end time point just now, Rosberg slowed us by 19.041 seconds!" The engineer paused, then said: "And if there is no accident, Zhang Guanyi The lap may be the fastest of all drivers."
Ross Brown's head is a little short-circuited. Everything in front of him is completely different from what he expected. Zhang Guanfei is not slower than others, but faster than others. It can be said that he gave Brown a big surprise again.
"This is not common sense, Zhang Guan has no experience in driving cars, and others may still have doubts about this, but I can fully confirm. He cannot be proficient in rain combat!" Ross Brown frowned inexplicably, then Commanded: "Tune me to the live video of the live game."
After a few minutes, the Ross-Horde was shocked again.
"Beautiful choice, the timing of braking is just right, it can keep the speed of entering the corner, and there is the control of the direction. He still uses the understeer of the car, but it can just guarantee the speed of the corner!"
"Mr. Brown, it seemed that Zhang Guan was the fastest in the previous circle." The engineer next to him said, staring at the screen.
"Zhang Guan is the fastest again! This is the fifth consecutive lap! This kind of rain fighting strength can be said to rule the game! Since Schumacher retired, there are still people who can show in the rain fighting. Such a strong dominance is incredible! It's incredible!" Ross Brown took a long breath, a satisfied smile on his face.
"It seems that we will really get two consecutive championships!"
...
At the command center of the Ferrari team, Schumacher looked at the crown on the screen, and there was another burst of loss.
"Schumi, Schumi?" Team leader Domenicali called several times before Schumacher recovered.
"What's wrong? Schumi, is it uncomfortable? Is it a cold?" Domene Kali asked.
"No, I just think that Zhang Guan's driving style is somewhat familiar. Looking at this game picture is like watching my game video playback..." Schumacher replied.
"Hehehe, it seems that the humid weather in Malaysia has really affected you, and it all made you have an illusion." Domenechali said while smiling, pointing at the Zhang Guan on the screen: "You and his common There is only one thing, that is, you are all red cars."
"Oh, it's really like this, maybe it's too hot," Schumacher said.
"Schumi, I suggest you to have a cold drink. There is ice cream from Europe in the freezer at the back of our fleet. Vanilla and strawberry flavors are very good. I suggest you try it." Domeneca Lee pointed to the garage behind.
"Okay, I'll try it later." Schumacher nodded and glanced outside.
"Huh? The rain seems to be getting smaller." Schumacher looked up at the sky, and the dark cloud was thinner.
...
Heavy rain in Malaysia is coming fast and going fast. It began to rain on the 20th lap, and on the 27th lap, the heavy rain had basically stopped.
As a Formula One race track, the drainage system is definitely the world's top, and there is basically little water on the race surface. And the rain tire also has a strong drainage performance, the pattern above can bring water to the outside.
The cars are basically running along a track on the track. Nearly 20 cars pass in a lap. The heat energy generated by the friction between the tires and the ground is enough to quickly evaporate the water. So on the 28th lap, it is already clear I saw two traces of dryness on the wet road.
The road was dry, and the rain tires became cumbersome. Compared with the soft tires, there was a gap of nearly two seconds in a lap. This loss was unacceptable to the team. So some teams chose to pit and refuel, they replaced the rain tires and replaced the hard tires.
Although a tire change will almost lose 11 or 12 seconds, but after changing to a dry tire, a lap can be two seconds faster, only need to run six or seven laps, the time lost by the tire change can make up for it. There are still 28 laps left until the end of the race. With the performance of hard tires, you can definitely stick to the end of the race, so this type of tire change is equivalent to preparing to run to the end in one breath.
This is obviously also a very reasonable choice. For drivers, they will have to get in and change this set of rain tires sooner or later. Instead of getting in late, it is better to get in early and change tires, but instead run with dry tires. , You can waste a little less time.
Leading Zhang Guan has ran to lap 29. At this time, behind him, all the cars have chosen to change their tires, and Zhang Guan's headset also sounded the voice of the team's strategic engineer.
"The rain has stopped. The heavy rain in Malaysia is really coming fast and going fast! You are ready to get in and change your tires! We put on a set of hard tires and then we are ready to run to the end of the game in one breath." The strategy engineer rushed Intercom said.
"Pit in? How many laps are there now?" Zhang Guan asked.
"Lap 29, you are on the 30th lap after you leave the station." The strategy engineer replied.
Zhang Guan immediately frowned.
"No, I shouldn't be in the station!" (~^~)
