Standing on the podium champion's position, Barrichello had already burst into tears with 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 of this seemed like a dream. He was 37 years old. Before Schumacher's comeback, he was the oldest driver on the racing track. A group of 20-something boys could not stand in the fiercely competitive f1 It was a blessing to have a firm foot and he was able to stay in f1 with a job.
Barrichello thinks this may be his last season in F1. This season, Barrichello is indeed very trembling. Although he has a fast car, he is naturally the second driver. The driver's awakening, he won't dare to think about the champion of the race.
If it was ten years ago, even five years ago, the champion of a sub-station would not make Barrichello so excited, but now it is different. In the final year of his career, he can still stand to receive the award. At the center of the platform, 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, the champion of one race, combined with Barrichello's skills and experience, 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, if not Zhang Guan's initiative, the team would definitely give an order to let the car, he can say this The champion of the substation was given to him by Zhang Guan.
Zhang Guan smiled and patted Barrichello's 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 looked incoherent.
Beside, Hamilton was very depressed to get the third place. He was originally able to get at least a second place, but because of the engineer’s tire change error, he fell to the third place. Two points are missing for nothing. The champion is one step further.
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 56 points. Zhang Guan still has an advantage of 37 points. Vettel, who ranked third in the overall results 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 didn't think of: Michael Schumacher.
Schumacher surpassed his teammate Raikkonen and reached the fourth place when there were three laps from the end of the game. Although it is still uncertain whether this overtaking book Schumacher's own strength or Raikkonen deliberately let the car, but What is certain is that Schumacher has basically recovered the state of the game.
After returning to the stadium after three years, the first game won the championship. It was already a perfect comeback for Schumacher, and the next stop was the Belgian Grand Prix, where Schumacher was crowned for the first time. 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, and invited all the staff of the team to eat a big meal to thank them.
Zhang Guan sat in the corner, holding the dinner plate, but his face did not show too excited.
All this comes from Schumacher.
Schumacher originally came back in the next season, but now he appears on the field this season. Moreover, in Zhang Guan's memory, 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 believe 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 different from Zhang Guan's cognition.
"What are you worried about? Are you worried about the championship?" I don't know when Ross Brown has come to Zhang Guan. He then said: "You have scored 93 points now, which is six more than this season. At the station, 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 should be fast." Ross Brown said with his hands spread out.
"But that's not his car. The car originally belonged to Massa." Zhang Guan then said: "I remember you told me that every driver's needs for the car are different, and the driver will follow his own Need to adjust the car, such as me, if you drive the Barrichello car, it will definitely be very uncomfortable. Should Schumacher be an exception?"
"Schumacher is certainly no exception. Any driver driving a car that he is not familiar with can never achieve good results. But as you just said, Schumacher drove the previous car from Massa, so for Shu As far as Mach is concerned, 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 learned from Schumacher. Many things, 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 version of Schumacher in terms of technical characteristics. 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 is able to adapt to Massa's car so quickly, which is also somewhat unexpected, but think about it, he is Schumacher, the greatest racer in the world, maybe In the world of F1, there is nothing he cannot do." Ross Brown said.
"But for us, what we are about to face will be a strong opponent." Zhang Guan hurriedly added: "One of the world's top racers, plus a world-class car provided by Ferrari, more The key thing is that he is still 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 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 Spa track, Schumacher is the king there!" Ross Brown said: "Schumacher once won six championships here, so he is known as'Spa "Wang! You are about to compete with the king of the circuit at Spa, do you feel pressured?"
"No, I feel very excited now! I am looking forward to playing with him at Spa." Zhang Guan said.
Ross Brown nodded with 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. The lap length of the track is more than seven kilometers. This track has steep slopes, smooth large arc bends, narrow and thin bends, and variable weather. More importantly, this is a high-speed track. This track is for every driver. It’s a challenge. 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. You know Before Schumacher, who was the last'King of Spa'?"
Zhang Guan shook his head, and Rose Brown explained: "Before Schumacher, the'King of Spar' was Senna, the car Senna. He won five Spar championships, second only to Schumacher. In addition, Jim Clark won four Spas and Damon Hill won three Spas. Now do you understand that this track is for the Formula One 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 back-to-back races, 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 normally, and the part of the track is closed. When there is a race When the road is closed, the track is partially open, which can form a lap of the track.
This track has very high requirements on the driver's skills. Without excellent skills, it is impossible to run beyond the limit speed on this track. Therefore, the champions of Spa are also relatively hit. Basically, they are all those familiar faces. Of the drivers participating this year, only two have won the championship on the Spa circuit, 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 audiences also have unusual feelings and other expectations for Schumacher. Seventeen years ago, it was on this track that the Belgian witnessed Schumacher’s first sub-station championship and witnessed Schumacher’s opening. The road of his own car king, and today, the Belgians have begun to wait for the first coronation after the return of the car king.
As a high-speed track, cars using high-speed engines are definitely dominant. For the past ten years, the champions of Belgium have been almost monopolized by Ferrari and McLaren, because the engines of Ferrari and Mercedes-Benz are both high-speed. engine. 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 is more suitable for this. Race track, 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 on the Spa track. The drivers had to end the morning practice in the rain battle, and there were several times with the rain. Not too big an accident.
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 about 25 degrees, but the average temperature in winter is above zero. It's just that for tires, this is not a temperature that can play a perfect role, 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 sky and white clouds. The warm sunshine had already dried the track. The unique earthy fragrance of the mountains, accompanied by water vapor, walked around and slowly walked in. Among 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 also performed in Belgium. Very good, their car is also very suitable for this high-speed track.
In the qualifying session on Saturday afternoon, Toyota and BMW Sauber once again gave everyone a surprise. Trulli of Toyota team actually took the pole position, and Hayfield of BMW Sauber team won the second place. This The results surprised many people. Originally, 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 inconspicuous teams of Toyota and BMW Sauber got the first row, which can be regarded as a Big upset.
Another upset is that the two McLaren teams have not entered the top ten. If it is not the result of China Power, some people will definitely think it is a Mercedes-Benz engine problem.
Two of China Power’s two cars are in third and fifth places, which prevents McLaren from throwing the black pot to the racing engine. Zhang Guan won the third place and Barrichello was in fifth place with a gap of 0.033 seconds.
...
"Zhang Guan, the fourth place is Schumacher, he will start in the same row with you!" Ross Brown's voice sounded in the headphones.
Zhang Guan excitedly grabbed the steering wheel with some excitement. The news was so sudden that he didn't even anticipate that his head-to-head confrontation with Schumacher came so soon! (To be continued.)
