The previous year's Formula One Shanghai race 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.
Formula One is the world's most money-sporting sport, and it is obviously the most severely affected by the economic crisis. In order to cope with the economic crisis, some teams began to reduce personnel and reduce costs, and like Honda, they directly sold the team out of a 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 to save the team's expenses. Therefore, the order of the first three races of this year's Formula One race is Australia, Malaysia and China. From south to 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. You should know that since the Shanghai Tennis Masters Tournament, tickets to the f1 competition have been worse than a year, 200,000 spectator seats are simply unsatisfactory, 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 the best-selling ticket race. The Formula One race has also changed from the decline of many years and fought a turnaround.
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 match 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 match also confirmed At this point, there will be continuous rainfall today.
The audience was still enthusiastic, and each of the stands was full of people. They came in the rain and watched Zhang Guan's game.
The main grandstand has a canopy, and the situation will be better. The two east and west side grandstands also have large round umbrellas, which can also have some effects. However, the audience in the temporary grandstands are not so well treated, they can only wear them. Raincoats or umbrellas sit on wet chairs and 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 exuded a worried color.
Newey's concern is not the Red Bull Racing car 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 was worried about was Zhang Guan.
"It's raining. I didn't expect that after the Malaysian station, there was another rain battle. Two consecutive rain battles. Will this be a variable of this game?" Newey thought, looking away. The garage of China Power.
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, Newey looked back. When recording the video, I can feel that Zhang Guan's rain fighting strength must definitely be above Vettel, and it can even be said to exceed 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 technology. The better the technology, the easier it is for the driver Variables in the war are minimized.
In addition to Red Bull, Ferrari, McLaren, Renault, BMW Sauber and other teams also dare not underestimate Zhang Guan's rain fighting strength.
Perhaps the only one who is happy is Omi of Force India. At this time, Omi was still immersed in the joy of yesterday. Zhang Guan started in the last place, which brought Omi a continued good mood, because the two Force India cars were in 18th and 19th, respectively. Just in front of Zhang Guan.
So Omi set a new goal for the two drivers of his team, that is to stop 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 get points, but I hope the two You can block Zhang Guan!" Omi said, extending a finger, and then said: "One round of 10,000 US dollars! If you can block Zhang Guan, I will reward you 10,000 US dollars, two laps It’s $20,000, and so on. If you can successfully block Zhang Guan’s 56 laps, you will have an extra 560,000 bonus."
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 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 the Renault team, 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 they are older, they are still young, and their 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 Fisichella, 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 but look at it. Light.
The Force India Sudir is a driver with a sponsor. 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, from Sudir in the f3 era So generously sponsor Sudir. Until he joined f1, he also came with a sponsor contract.
Many fans remember Sudir more in the bar fight in 2011. Sudir and Hamilton clashed with the Renault team boss when they were making bars together and stabbed Renault team with broken wine bottles. The boss. From this point of view, this Sudir is not a good baby.

Rose Brown stared blankly at the rain outside, wondering what he was thinking.
Next to it, 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 safety car started under the lead!" Ross Brown raised his head and looked at the car that had just been pushed out of the garage.
"This is good news for us, maybe Zhang Guan can really bet on winning!" (To be continued.)
