"This is really a race without urination. The two people Schumacher and Zhang Guan struggled from the beginning of the game to the end of the game. The two people contributed a wonderful offensive and defensive battle. In the end, the car king still failed to surpass Zhang Guan. Zhang Guan crossed the finish line with a lead of 1.8 seconds. 1.8 seconds is not even a gap on other circuits, but on the high-speed circuit of Spa, it is really difficult to draw a big distance between drivers. But in the post-match press conference, Zhang Guan did not consider himself a winner, and car king Schumacher praised Zhang Guan's performance in the race."-"Racing" magazine.
At the press conference after the Belgian Grand Prix, three people in red racing suits sat on the podium. At first glance, they even thought they were all from the same team.
"Zhang Guan, congratulations on your victory in the Belgian Grand Prix. This is your ninth championship in this year's race, and you beat the car king Schumacher in today's race. What special feelings do you have to share For everyone?" a local reporter asked first.
"I am honored to be able to compete with Schumacher, but I think this game, I did not win. At best, Schumacher and I only played a tie. I am in a defensive position in the game, everyone should know that defensive should It's easier than offense. If it's my offense and Schumacher defends, maybe I've already been far off by him." Zhang Guan replied with a smile.
Schumacher fans are obviously very satisfied with the answer given by Zhang Guan. The sport of racing is different from other sports. In the eyes of many people, the driver is more gentleman than the athletes of other events. After the competition, toasting each other seems to have become the unspoken rule of the sport. Sometimes two people Even if there is hatred, they will not blame each other. This is different from boxing. In boxing, whether before or after the game, the fighters are always opposed to each other, just like pouring gunpowder.
...
With the end of the Belgian Grand Prix, Zhang Guan stood steadily at the top of the standings with 103 points, and compared with the points of other drivers, the media have played the banner that Zhang Guan has already won this year's championship in advance.
This year's f1 race has the last five races remaining, which means the driver can earn up to 50 points. At present, Zhang Guan's teammate Barrichello has 58 points, and he is the only driver who is theoretically likely to surpass Zhang Guan in total points. However, as the second driver of China Power Team, Barricho Even if Luo forcibly retires, he will not go beyond Zhang Guan.
The third-place Vettel currently has 51 points. Even if Vettel won the championship in the last five games, Vettel's points can only reach 101 points. Zhang Guan even won one point in the last five games, still Will be two more points than Vettel. So Vettel is no longer able to surpass Zhang Guan in the total points.
Vettel in the third place is unlikely to exceed Zhang Guan, of course the driver behind is even more impossible, so Zhang Guan has actually won the championship of this year's f1 five races in advance.
The championship has lost its suspense, but the attention of Formula One has greatly increased. Schumacher’s comeback is one reason, and the contest between Schumacher and Zhang Guan is another reason, especially the large Chinese audience. It brings unlimited business opportunities to Formula One.
...
On September 11, a special day, the United States held a variety of commemorative events, and on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean, the Italian Monza circuit, the f1 Italian Grand Prix also began Friday's practice.
The Monza circuit is the highest speed of the f1 circuit. This high-speed circuit is also a very dangerous circuit. It is not because the car accidents are more frequent, but because the accidents will be very dangerous. There may be casualties.
For example, the bad weather in Sepang, Malaysia, there are accidents in almost every year of the race, but it is unlikely to kill people, so that kind of track is not dangerous. The new track after the 21st century is in The first consideration at the beginning of the design is safety. Only those veteran circuits in Europe, almost every one will bear the life of the driver.
The safety requirements of the f1 race are getting higher and higher. After the unfortunateness of the car Senna, no f1 driver died because of a racing accident. The worst thing is the Paralympic champion introduced earlier. He lost the double leg. Around 2000, Schumacher's broken leg was considered a very serious accident. But in Monza, even in the 21st century, some people are still killed by accidents. In 2000, a series of five cars collided, causing a track worker to be hit by fragments of the car and unfortunately die.
As an Italian brand, the Monza circuit is obviously the home of Ferrari. Ferrari has occupied 40% of the previous championships at the Monza circuit. Since it is the home of Ferrari, of course, it is also the home of Schumacher. Schumacher drives a red Ferrari and has won five championships here. It can be said that the king of this track is still Schumacher.
In fact, in those old European circuits, Schumacher will always be in touch with the king of the track. In the modern f1, Schumacher's achievements are indeed unmatched.
For Ferrari, they can give up any one-stop race, but they must not give up Monza, even if their car is rotten again, they will sacrifice everything to get a Monza podium. The fans here are also the craziest in Europe. When Schumacher won the championship here for the first time, the fans rushed into the track excitedly even before the race ended, celebrating Schumacher, and the final celebration was even After a riot, hundreds of fans were sent to the hospital, and hundreds of fans were sent to the police station. The performance of those fans is not much better than that of British football hooligans, and it can make fans crazy like fans, enough to see Ferrari's influence here. For car fans, there is no red figure on the podium.
Returning to Monza, Schumacher is of course determined to win the championship. Ferrari even hopes to get two positions on the podium, but their progress is not so smooth. There will always be strong competitors and The sudden spoiler blocked Ferrari's dream of winning the championship.
At the Monza circuit, McLaren is a traditional Ferrari competitor. McLaren's cars are also very suitable for running high-speed circuits. Half of the previous championships at the Monza circuit belong to Ferrari, and the rest In half, two thirds belong to McLaren.
The spoilers are different every year, and this year's spoilers are obviously Zhang Guan. The ability of China Power's high-speed racing track is not inferior to Ferrari. Zhang Guan is also inseparable from Schumacher, which adds a lot of gunpowder to the race invisible.
The practice results seem to confirm this. On Friday morning, Ferrari's traditional competitors took the lead and McLaren found a suitable car configuration. Their two drivers took the top two in the practice.
In the afternoon, Ferrari finally found some feelings. Schumacher successfully won the first practice session on Friday afternoon, but the Renault team suddenly appeared and Schumacher's old enemy Alonso won the second place.
The practice match on Saturday morning belonged to China Power. Zhang Guan successfully grabbed the first place. The three teams of Ferrari, McLaren and China Power came in a feng shui rotation in the practice match, and each won the first place in the practice match. .
The Monza circuit has only seven corners. Compared to the twists and turns of other circuits, Monza can almost be said to be circling. The competition here is speed. As long as the speed is fast enough, it is relatively easy to overtake, and the drivers are the same. It won't open a very large distance. In this kind of track, a good starting position is very important, but a suitable strategy is more important. The drivers can hardly catch more than ten laps on the track to catch the gap. Station strategy can be easily achieved. Because of this, the importance of Monza qualifying has been weakened a lot.
In qualifying, perhaps due to the hopeless influence of the champion, Vettel's performance was not ideal, he ranked behind Alonso. Alonso is in front of Barrichello, and Barrichello is in front of Ferrari's Raikkonen and McLaren's Hamilton.
It was Schumacher who won the first place. Schumacher exerted his strong strength to get his first pole position after his comeback. Zhang Guan ranked second with only 0.066 seconds. Compared with the previous stop, the starting sequence of these two people happened to be reversed. Previously, Zhang Guan was in front of Schumacher, but now Schumacher was in front of Zhang Guan.
...
"The f1 Italian Grand Prix is ​​about to start, and the drivers have started to enter the tire warmer. In the last race, Schumacher was behind Zhang Guan, he tried to surpass Zhang Guan throughout the race, and today The two of them exchanged positions and exchanged offensive and defensive positions. I think Zhang Guan will continue to challenge Schumacher. The battle between Zhang Guan and Schumacher continues from Spa to Monza!"
The narrator looked at the track and then said: "The driver is ready. When the five red lights are off, it is the time to start!"
The audience held their breaths, including the commentator, and there was no sound. They looked at the red lights one by one. When the fifth red light was on for the next second, the five red lights at the same time Extinguished.
"Departure!" As the commentator shouted, a roaring engine sounded on the track.
The start at Monza is a long straight. The next turn, Tribune, is also a high-speed turn. For the driver, the start can step on the accelerator to increase the speed to nearly 300 kilometers. And this moment is also a good opportunity to try to surpass the opponent.
"Zhang Guan, coming to Schumacher's side, he wants to surpass Schumacher!"
There was a cry of excitement at the scene, many people did not expect Zhang Guan to initiate the first surpass at the beginning of the game, and everyone's eyes focused on the first corner, where they might tell everyone the result of Zhang Guan's attack .
The experienced Schumacher kept his first position and took the lead into the narrow turn 1, but Zhang Guan's overtaking did not end there, because after the turn 1, it was a straight, as long as there was an excellent exit speed , Can still surpass Schumacher.
Zhang Guan’s cornering speed remained very good, but Schumacher’s cornering speed was also very good. After the two of them turned from corner 1, they were still walking side by side. Schumacher led the majority of the car body. .
"Zhang Guan grabbed it very fiercely!" The commentator clenched his fists, and the two had not achieved a victory from the start to the speed of 300 kilometers.
"Do you want to overtake me with speed? The second turn in front is a left turn, and the position of the crown will be more favorable." Schumacher was about to tighten his teeth, but still did not slow down.
"Schumi should brake! Why don't you brake?" In the command center, Ferrari manager Domenicali had started a cold sweat. The data showed that Schumacher's speed had exceeded 330 kilometers at this time, if he did not brake. , It is likely to rush out of the runway at turn 2.
I saw Schumacher's big-foot brake. The sudden locking of the tires caused a short translation of the car. The vibration on the shoulder caused the front suspension of the car to shake up and down, but Schumacher successfully grabbed it. Better exit position.
"Beautiful defense!" Applause rang from the stands next to Turn 2.
Schumacher's defense made Zhang Guan miss this opportunity. Before the turn 3, Zhang Guan could not slow down and let Schumacher pass first. Turn 3 is called Logia Turn. It is a very dangerous corner. It happened here when the five cars that killed the track staff were picked up.
There is a big uphill ahead, and there is only a big downhill, then uphill and downhill, which are not conducive to surpassing. Zhang Guan's attack can only come to an end.
"Huh!" Schumacher breathed a sigh of relief. The attack and defense just made him shocked by the cold sweat. If it wasn't for his bold defense, it might really be surpassed by Zhang Guan.
"This overtaking is really fierce enough, and his car is fast enough to be replaced by other people, maybe it will really be overtaken by Zhang Guan. It seems that this game can not be taken lightly, otherwise it will really lose. "" Schumacher was thinking, but the team's voice was heard in the headset.
"In an accident, Webber of Red Bull Racing behind you was rear-ended, his car hit the protective wall, and the yellow flag was shown in the second stage." The strategy engineer reminded.
Schumacher took a long breath and showed that the yellow flag stage was not allowed to overtake. In Monza, a high-speed circuit, the second stage with the most bends showed the yellow flag, which basically means severance In view of the possibility of technical overtaking, in the other two stages, if the pure competition speed, Ferrari does not fall.
And it will take some time to clean up the car debris on the track, it may take four or five laps, that is, during this period, Schumacher will be in a safe state.
On the sixth lap, the track was finally cleaned, but Zhang Guan hadn't had time to start overtaking. On the ninth lap, BMW driver Kubica's front fixed wing end plate fell off and the yellow flag was shown for the second time at the race.
It was another three laps. At this time, Zhang Guan evaluated the condition of his tires and temporarily gave up attacking. On the 17th lap, Zhang Guan first entered the maintenance area to refuel.
"Schumi, Zhang Guan has just entered the station, and now it is certain that he is the same as our strategy, which is a two-stop strategy." The engineer said suddenly, and immediately said quickly: "Schumi, run faster and strive for At a pit stop window, you must come back the next lap, repeat it, and come back the next lap."
"My fuel should be able to run three more laps, I can hold up to nineteenth lap." Schumacher replied.
"Zhang Guan changed a brand-new set of soft tires. Once his soft tires are working, the speed will be greatly improved, so you have to come back, we have to replace them with new soft tires, and we need a short pit stop, Let you get ahead of him." The team engineer said.
"I see!" Schumacher sighed softly: "It seems that the second game between us has just begun!" (Unfinished.)
