Saturday afternoon is the main time for the f1 European Grand Prix.
The Valencia circuit can accommodate more than 100,000 spectators, but today, the stands around the circuit are already full.
The vast majority of Spaniards are of course fans of Alonso, so there are a lot of Alonso supporters on the scene. They waved the Spanish flag and support their own compatriots. The foreign audience is almost all to witness Schumacher's comeback. It can be said that this stop, as Schumacher's comeback battle, has already touched the hearts of sports fans all over the world.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the green light in the maintenance area lights up, and the first qualifying session begins.
When Schumacher appeared on the track while driving the red Ferrari, it immediately attracted the attention of all the spectators. At this time, whether it is other drivers running on the track or drivers waiting in the maintenance area, they are all lost. For the support of Schumacher, the TV broadcast lens also follows the picture of Schumacher all the way, and follows the timing circle of Schumacher.
"Schumacher looks like a sword, although he is forty years old, but his speed is not behind those young people."
"After three years, I came back and thought that Schumacher had lost the feeling of racing, but now it seems that he has at least returned to the level of a normal driver."
On the track, Schumacher refreshed his fastest lap speed in one lap, from 1 minute 42 seconds, to 1 minute 41 seconds, to 1 minute 40 seconds, Schumacher has touched the second quarter row The threshold of the competition.
Finally, Schumacher ran out of Lu Yuge's 1 minute, 39 seconds and 082 scores. This result was at the Valenciwa track, which was enough for him to enter the second quarter qualifying. The car king was also very satisfied with this result. He did not Continue to hit better results, but chose to return to the maintenance area.
In the second quarter of qualifying, Schumacher's performance is still stable. He not only successfully ran within 1 minute and 39 seconds, but also ranked in the top ten, successfully entered the third quarter of qualifying, Schumacher before the game The first goal set for yourself has been achieved.
Ferrari cars are fairly competitive in Valencia, but not the strongest. At the Valencia circuit, the two strongest teams are China Power and McLaren. It is worth mentioning that both teams use Mercedes-Benz engines.
Mercedes-Benz's engine is very suitable for this track. Even in the third quarter of qualifying, the cars have been added with racing oil, and their cars can still run within 1 minute, 39 seconds and 5 minutes. For example, Barrichello, his score is exactly 1 minute 39 seconds 500. This lap speed is 0.289 seconds faster than the fifth-place Vettel.
However, Barrichello finally took the third place. The defending champion Hamilton surpassed Barrichello by 0.002 seconds. But Hamilton is close to 0.1 second from the first-placed Zhang Guan. Zhang Guan, who had not tasted the championship for two consecutive times, once again took pole position.
China Power and McLaren took the top four, with Vettel in fifth place, Ferrari's two cars ranked sixth and seventh respectively, followed by Renault's Alonso.
As a local Spanish player, Alonso is only ranked eighth in home combat. This is obviously not good for a world championship driver, but at the level of Renault Racing this year, he can get eighth. The name is pretty good.
As for the car king Schumacher, he gave everyone a big surprise. He ranked seventh. For a three-year veteran who has been away from the car world and is already 40 years old, he can drive a car. It is already not a small achievement to win a race that does not belong to him and defeat a group of young people who can be his son to enter the top eight points.
And tomorrow's Zheng Sai Li, Schumacher and Alonso both started in the same row, and the two old enemies would fight again after an interval of three years, which is enough to let the media speculate on a lot of topics.
...
On August 23, the main race of the f1 European Grand Prix kicked off.
Hamilton was sitting on the car with high spirits, and the second place in qualifying was his best result in qualifying this season. And this position also made him look forward to winning the championship.
After all, Hamilton was the world championship last season. Originally, he was confident that he wanted that two consecutive championships. However, the rise of Chinese power and Red Bull made him only ranked fifth in the standings. Now that half of the season has passed, Hamilton has missed the championship, but he very much hopes to get a sub-championship to prove that he is not a flash in the pan.
Benefiting from the Mercedes-Benz engine, McLaren team showed a strong competitiveness in this race, but the beneficiaries are not only McLaren, but also China Power, and Zhang Guan or Hamilton won The biggest competitor of the championship.
"I want to win. I have to win this stop. I finally got the chance to start in the front row. I have to fight once!" Hamilton couldn't help but cheer himself.
Five red lights went out, the game started, Hamilton started the first time, and the next Zhang Guan was not much more than that.
"The corner is mine!" Hamilton stubbornly grabbed the corner and he almost met Zhang Guan's car.
"Danger!" even the narrator could not help shouting.
Hamilton's such a tough grabbing way also surprised Zhang Guan. He knew that Hamilton was a dangerous convict of driving. This black kid didn't want to die. He really dared to fight both sides, but Zhang hasn't tasted the champion's taste in two stations. The crown obviously didn't want to be knocked out at the beginning of the game, and he chose to give Hamilton the corner.
"I succeeded! Entered the corner first and grabbed the first!" Hamilton felt a ecstasy in his heart. He felt that his first championship this year had already started beckoning to him.
However, Hamilton's happiness did not last long, because the next second he found Zhang Guan had already posted and began to try to surpass.
"Want to overtake? I won't let you overtake it." Hamilton immediately began to recall Zhang Guan's overtaking technical characteristics, and then prepared to make a targeted defense, but at this time he discovered that his technical characteristics of Zhang Guan overtaking Know nothing.
...
Each driver has a different driving style and different technical characteristics when overtaking. Some drivers like to grab the line, some drivers like to brake late, and some drivers like to use tactical shaking to confuse opponents. If you know that the other party is good at overtaking, you can carry out targeted defense, which can reduce the disadvantage of defenders in offense and defense.
Of the eight f1 championships Zhang Guan has won so far, except Malaysia, which used a set of tires to run the rain, the others are all leading the race, which is the first start, and then lead all the way to the finish . As for the champion in Malaysia, the main advantage is to rely on not getting into the station to change tires, which is a strategic surpass.
It can be said that Zhang Guan showed an excellent leading level, but in terms of overtaking, he did not show much. Therefore, there is no technical feature of Zhang Guan in overtaking in Hamilton's memory.
"Zhang Guan's guy has always been the frontrunner. Even overtaking is also a slow train that is trapped. Damn, F1 has been in the past half of the season. I don't even know how the top driver is overtaking! "A ridiculous feeling rose in Hamilton's heart.
Zhang Guan began to put pressure on Hamilton, waiting for the opponent to make mistakes, which is something that experienced veteran drivers often do. Hamilton knew this well, but he was helpless because he didn't know Zhang Guan's technical characteristics when overtaking, so he couldn't judge when Zhang Guan would overtake. He could only guard against it all the time.
The so-called not afraid of being stolen by thieves is afraid of being remembered by thieves, especially if you know that you are remembered by thieves, you will always think about how to prevent thieves. The same is true of Hamilton now. Although he is the front runner, he cannot play at his own pace. Zhang Guan always hangs behind him, making him have to devote a lot of energy to defend.
In the f1 race, it is easy for the front runner to shake off the driver behind him. Because there is no other car in front of the front runner, he can run at his own pace without worrying about being suppressed by other cars. While the second-ranked person is subject to the front leader, he will also be attacked by the third behind. The second defensive third will consume some energy, which will slow down the speed and be thrown away by the front runner.
However, Barrichello is third in the rankings today. Barrichello is obviously impossible to surpass his boss, and he also has to help the boss to block behind the car as much as possible, so Zhang Guan does not have to worry about the surpassing behind, he can concentrate on himself Against Hamilton.
Behind Barrichello is Kovalainen. The young teenager is very aggressive, but his experience is much worse than that of Barrichello, who has more than ten years of Formula 1 experience. Experience can play a double role in defense. Kovalainen can hardly surpass Barrichello without a big gap between the two cars.
The car running in the front is fighting, and the car in the back naturally catches up. It is like driving on the road. The speed limit is 50 kilometers. The front car must run according to 30 kilometers. Pressing is inevitable. In the race, pressing the car means the opportunity to surpass, means more chase, means more struggle.
...
Everywhere on the track is a tussle between racing cars. You are superior to me, and I am superior to you. Almost every car is in fierce competition. This makes the audience dazzled, and the broadcaster's guide does not know what to do. Who can aim the lens, can only insert one slow motion after another.
On the track, the drivers are also full of passion. The most appealing aspect of motorsport is not speed, but the stimulating feeling when overtaking. This is true for spectators and drivers. Any racing driver has a heart that surpasses the previous car, otherwise he cannot be a racing driver. And now the distance between the cars is very close, so that the drivers have found a space to play, each of them staring at the front of the eye, trying to surpass.
Only Hamilton did not feel the passion brought by speed. Others are trying to surpass the front car, but he is always guarding against the crown behind.
Hamilton looked at the rearview mirror and estimated the distance between him and Zhang Guan. There was some irritability in his heart.
"The two laps just now, I took the limit of the route, but I still didn't distance myself from Zhang Guan, it seems that I can't get rid of him! No, I have to run more extreme, I must get rid of it he!"
Hamilton was originally a driver who likes to use the shoulder, which means that his route will go to the limit, so his speed is very fast, but then he sacrificed his own tires, and his running style is also Tires are consumed.
And in August in Spain, the weather is also very hot, just like today, the temperature reached 30 degrees, the track temperature is more than 40 degrees, although this is conducive to the racing tires quickly into working condition, but the same It also makes the tire wear much faster.
Sure enough, on lap 16, Hamilton’s headset sounded a reminder from the team’s strategy engineer.
"Lewis, your tires are declining very quickly. If you don't want to pit in too early, run conservatively!"
"Conservative? How could this be possible, Zhang Guan chased so tightly in the back, his car was fast." Hamilton retorted.
However, Hamilton's voice had just fallen, but he saw Zhang Guan throwing his head out.
"Does he want to surpass? Or is it a temptation?" Hamilton immediately made a defensive move, but his car did not go as expected.
"Oops! Has the grip of the tires starting to decay?" Hamilton only felt a red figure chasing beside him, and then surpassed it.
"Zhang Guan, more than gone, on lap 16, he surpassed Hamilton and regained the first!"
...
Barrichello in third place is in very good shape today, and because the car's fuel load is getting less and less, the car is getting lighter and lighter, and his speed is getting faster and faster. For two consecutive laps, he brushed The fastest lap.
About twenty laps, the light-oil car started its first pit stop, and there was not much change in the ranking, and the distance between the drivers was not pulled too much. The opponent can be thrown away on the high-speed track, but it is impossible to lead too much.
On lap 24, Vettel's car exploded. His engine was replaced at the German station in early July. After passing the German station and the Hungarian station to the European station, the high-speed circuit and the hot weather made the engine overwhelmed and Vettel had to withdraw. After the game, the gap between him and Zhang Guan will also increase.
On lap 37, Barrichello once again refreshed the fastest lap speed. On the same lap, Hamilton pitted, but the technician changed the tire, and Hamilton's tire change time reached 13.4 seconds, which was four times slower than the estimated time. Seconds, and Barrichello behind, use the light car to constantly refresh the fastest speed.
On lap 40, Barrichello pitted and refueled. When he walked out of the maintenance area, he was just ahead of Hamilton by four seconds, which means that McLaren technicians lost four seconds of tire change mistakes, allowing Barrichello to finish Hamilton. Beyond. Barrichello, after completing the surpass, was running faster and faster, slowly widening the gap with Hamilton.
Run like this, Zhang Guan first, and Barrichello second, Chinese forces will once again take the top two.
...
On lap 42, Zhang Guan also chose to refuel for the second pit stop, which took 10.3 seconds.
However, what Zhang Guan did not expect was that when he ran out of the maintenance area, a red car happened to pass by him.
"Red, Ferrari?" Zhang Guan took a closer look, but found that it was his teammate Barrichello.
"Good boy, did old Barrichello hit the chicken blood today? Running so fast, they all gave me over!" Zhang Guan secretly said.
"You are in front of Barrichello. I will make him slower and let you pass at the end of the next straight." Rose Brown's voice came from the headphones.
Team instructions are an indispensable part of motorsports. It is normal for the No. 2 driver to give the No. 1 driver the car, not to mention Zhang Guan or the team's owner, Barrichello will naturally give up the first place.
However, Zhang Guan said: "Let him run down with all his strength!"
"What?" Ross Brown asked inconceivably. He didn't know if he didn't hear what Zhang Guan said, or what Zhang Guan meant, or both.
"I mean let Barrichello run down with all his strength! He is also a member of the team, he has been working hard, has been paying for the team, he should taste the taste of a championship." Zhang Guan looked silently in front, face But on the involuntary smile appeared involuntarily.
...
Barrichello looked carefully in the rearview mirror and recognized that it was Zhang Guan who was running behind.
Barrichello subconsciously felt that he should give up the first position, so he said to the radio: "I will brake earlier at the end of the next straight to make the corner."
"No, you run with all your strength!" Ross Brown's voice sounded.
"What?" Barrichello also asked the same word inconceivably. I don't know if he didn't hear what Zhang Guan said, or what Zhang Guan meant, or both.
"I mean let you go all out to compete for the championship!" Ross Brown continued.
"Let me take the first place? Are you kidding me?" Barrichello said.
"This is not my decision, it's Zhang Guan's decision!" Ross Brown explained.
"Am I doing something wrong? Should I fire me!" Barrichello suddenly panicked.
"Zhang Guan said, you have been working hard and have been paying for the team, so you should taste the championship." Ross Brown added: "Well, this is his original word!"
"What does the boss mean?" Barrichello asked for a second before he even changed his title to Zhang Guan into "boss".
"What do you mean? Ha ha ha, it means that the champion of the European station is yours! You are regarded as the reward given by the boss!" Ross Brown said with a smile. (To be continued.)
