The air temperature is 2o degrees Celsius and the track temperature is 19 degrees Celsius. At this temperature, the tires obviously need to run several laps to work properly, and all drivers have changed to heavy rain tires. Because of the rules, the safety car leads the car. In all circumstances, all cars must be replaced with full rain tires.
If the amount of rain is just average, the race will definitely not be led by a safety car, and today the rain is really heavy. For safety reasons, the race can only be dispatched by the safety car, all the cars follow the safety car in order, and safety The number of laps led by the car will be counted throughout the race. That is to say, in the first few laps, all cars must follow the safety car with a relatively low degree around the track until the race confirms that the visibility can be normal and the safety car returns to the maintenance station.
This situation is obviously very advantageous for Zhang Guan, because Zhang Guan is not going to enter the repair station to run the entire journey in one breath, so he uses the heaviest fuel capacity, which can consume fuel behind the safety car. No laps will be lost because the vehicle is too heavy.
At the same time, under the leadership of the safety car, the car is slower than usual, and the wear of the tire is much lighter. Zhang Guan's set of full rain tires can also support a few more laps.
One lap, two laps, three laps, four laps... have reached the fifth lap, the safety car still does not mean to go back, and some teams have already been unable to bear.
Some teams are light-loaded oil. Their original plan was to use lighter-loaded oil and a set of soft tires. They rushed to the front at the beginning of the race. Under normal circumstances, light-loaded oil will probably be on the 12th lap to the first. Fifteen laps into the station, the soft tires can also support for almost that long time, but did not expect a heavy rain, completely disrupting their plans.
Even if it is safer to drive under the leadership of a safety car, for those cars that only added 11 or 2 laps of fuel, they can’t afford it. Their original plan was to rush to the front at the beginning of the race. It is now slowly circled with everyone, the advantages of light load oil can not be fully reflected, but the fuel consumption in vain.
It is now on the fifth lap, and the safety car is still outside. If the safety car runs ten more laps and eight laps, the light-loaded car will first consume its own gasoline. It is undoubtedly a very unwise choice to consume gasoline in such a low-circle state, so some light-loaded oil cars simply choose to pit at this time to refuel.
Leading the station is Rosberg of Williams team, then Alonso, and after these two cars out of the station, there is no doubt that they can only be ranked at the end, Zhang Guan is very lucky to move forward two terms, Came to the eighteenth.
Finally, on the seventh lap, the situation on the track was much better. The race announced that the safety car would return to the maintenance area on the eighth lap.
On the eighth lap, the safety car returned to the depot and the race officially began.
If it is a stationary car, the first few corners will inevitably make the drivers compete fiercely, but the dynamic car does not have this problem, and the first few cars are relatively smooth to enter the corner.
Vettel in pole position and teammate Webber successfully defended the first two, and behind them was Barrichello staring. Later, McLaren's Hamilton easily passed Ferrari's Raikkonen, and Raikkonen said that his racing engine had an abnormality.
Later, Zhang Guan also began to increase. He was the first to face the Force India driver Fisichella, and in front of Fisichella was the Force India Sudir.
"Block 10,000 dollars, don't know that the first few laps of the safety car are not blocking the crown?" Fisichella thought secretly, he looked in the direction of the first turn in front, but he The splash of his teammate Sudir’s car made his vision a little blurry. But the flashing red taillights of Sudir’s racing cars are exceptionally conspicuous.
"It's almost time to brake!" Sudir listened to the engine and chose a brake.
F1 cars do not have dashboards, but as a professional driver, they can judge the degree of the car and the rotation of the engine based on the sound of the feeling and motivation, and make different brakes.
The straight lane of the Shanghai International Circuit is very long. The end of the straight lane can reach 31o kilometers per hour. At this time, the car is in six gears, and then the first turn needs to be quickly reduced to fourth gear, so it needs a strong foot brake.
However, at the moment Fisichella braked, a red figure appeared suddenly beside him.
"It's Zhang Guan!" Fisichella instantly realized that Zhang Guan used a later brake point to catch up with himself.
"You can't make a bend so late!" Fisichella is also very experienced. He quickly adjusted the angle of the car and entered the first corner. He wanted to press Zhang Guan behind him when he came out of the corner.
But the red car shadow flickered in front of him, and there was an additional rear light in front of Fisichella.
In the first corner, Zhang Guan successfully crossed Fisichella.
The Chinese Force car is equipped with a double diffuser, which has an advantage in downforce, so it can have a better degree in the corner. Although Zhang Guan’s braking point is later than Fieszella, he uses a slight understeer To ensure that you enter and exit the curve, so easily over Fisichella.
This is not only the advantage of racing, but also the crushing of technology.
At this time, under the helmet, Fisichella's expression had become very ugly. In the first second, he was still looking forward to blocking Zhang Guan for a lap to earn 10,000 yuan, and then Zhang Guanyue was directly in the next second.
However, Zhang Guan did not stop. He rushed directly into the second turn and attacked another Force India car.
...
Turn 2, Turn 3 and Turn 4 are the first difficulties of this track. These three turns are connected into a continuous curve, and the highest point of the whole track is at the position of Turn 2. That is to say, this continuous curve turns uphill into the corner and downhill out of the corner. During the whole process, the car will be continuously reduced from the fourth gear to the second gear, and the car will also be quickly reduced from 2oo km to 1oo km.
The Shanghai International Circuit has a slope. If measured from the figures, the lowest point of the track is the absolute height of 4.5 meters, and the highest point of the track is the position of turn 2, the absolute height is 11.24 meters, the lowest position of the track and The highest position differs by a full distance of 6.74 meters, which is equal to the height of three Dayao. It is just a few square kilometers, and a drop of more than 6 meters is not a big deal.
But for the driver, there is also a certain amount of control pressure when running this continuous curve with uphill and downhill slopes on rainy days.
Now, Sudir of Force India is preparing to go through this continuous curve. However, the pressure he is facing is not only the bends, slopes and rain, but Zhang Guan, who is already close behind, is the main source of his pressure.
It was raining, the road was difficult, the curve was difficult to turn, and there were chasing soldiers behind. This is indeed a very tragic situation.
"What did Fisichella eat! Let him block Zhang Guan, why didn't he even hold a corner!" Sudir couldn't help but scolded. (To be continued.) 8
