"The greatest miracle in the history of racing is born!-In the Italian Grand Prix of Formula One World Championships that ended yesterday, Zhang Zhang of the China Force Team won his tenth sub-season championship of the season, with 113 rankings The driver's score table guards, and he has surpassed the second place Barrichello by 49 points. Given that there are four races left in this year's Formula One race, Zhang Guan has already locked the championship in advance. We have witnessed the car The birth of the greatest miracle in the world, a racer who participated in Formula One for the first time, to be precise, was the first person to participate in motorsports, and won the Formula One championship of the year, which can really be said that there is no one before , I believe only Zhang Guan, the'senior miracle creator' can do it!" Zhang Guan's photo appeared on the front page of the New York Times.
"The International Automobile Federation congratulated Zhang Guan on winning four races ahead of schedule, and decided to hold a championship ceremony for Zhang Guan after the race in Japan. F1 President Bernie also said in an interview with reporters that he is very grateful to Zhang Guan's contribution to the promotion of Formula One racing around the world, he even calls Zhang Guan the rare racing wizard of the millennium." "Racing" magazine.
"Zhang Guan reached the top of the f1 world championship. He became China's first athlete to win the championship in the world's top racing events. From the question at the beginning of the year, to the one-by-one sub-station championship, and then to the four-station competition to lock the world championship. Zhang Guan's journey is not trivial. Let's go back to review Zhang Guan's journey..."This is an official newspaper in China, followed by a page introduction and a page touted.
It is not a rare thing in Formula 1 to lock the championship four races ahead of time, but for a driver who participated in Formula One in the first year, it is too amazing. No driver in history has ever won the championship in the first season of f1. Prior to this, the best result of the driver in the first year of f1 was Hamilton's annual runner-up.
Hamilton’s career started in McLaren, and few people like Hamilton start their f1 career in a big team. The big teams need mature and competitive racing history. Newcomers are often in The small team started their racing career, even if they showed extraordinary talent, but lack of a competitive car, there is no chance to win the championship. Even Schumacher started his f1 career with Jordan. After showing his talent, he was poached by Benetton and started his championship career.
From a certain point of view, Zhang Guan is also very lucky. If it is not the economic crisis, he will not have the opportunity to buy a team; if it is not Ross Brown, Zhang Guan will not have a fast enough car. Without a fast enough car, even if Zhang Guan is a fit of Senaga Schumacher, it is impossible to win the championship of the year.
...
The head of F1, Bernie, looks radiant, and Zhang Guan locks the championship in advance, which is undoubtedly a stimulant for Bernie. Bernie has been devoted to the promotion of f1 all these years. He hopes to promote f1 to the world. However, last year’s economic crisis gave him a head start. Even Honda’s big manufacturer team decided not to play. F1 even has ten. The team almost couldn't fit together.
Fortunately, Zhang Guan appeared. Behind Zhang Guan represented a large market of more than one billion people. Even if only one percent of them could be attracted to watch Formula One games, that would be millions of people. All of them are on top of many European countries.
Now Zhang Guan wins the championship in advance, which means that he can attract millions of spectators for F1. Bernie even felt that next year's F1 communication and advertising fees could be greatly increased.
Think about it at the beginning of the year, Bernie Li issued the super driver’s license to Zhang Guan. At that time, he was criticized by many people. The media, commentators and retired racing drivers accused him of turning the noble f1 into a copper odor. the match of. Now, the man who got the driver's qualification by spending money on the back door and became the world champion four races ahead of schedule.
"A few months ago, I was talking about Zhang Guan walking through the back door. I have the ability to talk about it now! If I could get the world championship through the back door, I would be willing to open this back door!" Bernie looked at the media's praise for Zhang Guan. A feeling of raising one's eyebrows.
"The economic situation next year should be much better, and the Formula One race should also be expanded. Perhaps it is a good time to'make a god'." Bernie thought of this, picked up the phone, and dialed a number.
...
For any sport to be promoted, "creating gods" is essential. For example, David Stern created a Michael Jordan, which promoted nba to the whole world. Later superstars such as Kobe, James, Durant, Curry, etc., also became the nba promotion created " God". People pay attention to nba. At the beginning, they focused on the stars. Then they turned to the team where the star was, and then the whole nba game. Many people can't even call the names of the 30 teams of the NBA, but they definitely know which big names are stars. And as long as nba can continue to create a super star, it will never decline.
The same is true of football. In the last century, the kings Bailey and Maradona, Ronaldo and Beckham at the turn of the century, and then Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi, a giant star passed the flag of "God" alternately. Drive people's attention to this sport.
After all, football and basketball are the most widely watched sports in the world, and some of the smaller sports are more important for creating gods. Federer has made many people obsessed with tennis, and O'Sullivan has made many people pay attention to table tennis and gaming. Before the emergence of the Celtic, many people may not even have seen the 100-meter sprint. If there is no Liu Feiren, there must be many people in China who do not know about the 110-meter hurdle.
The f1 race has been the of creation many times, and the body Senna has been the focus of countless media attention, but unfortunately died young; and more people realized the fun of the f1 race through Schumacher. Since Schumacher retired, it is an indisputable fact that F1's attention has been greatly reduced, so Bernie needs a new to attract more attention and promote F1.
Bernie originally chose the defending champion Hamilton, he hopes to make Hamilton another Schumacher, but Hamilton's own is not content, many people including drivers question Hamilton's character, people who have problems with character are obviously not suitable. Used to create God.
Zhang Guan was born, and Bernie apparently found another excellent goal. In comparison, Zhang Guan's popularity is higher, his image is better, and his story of winning the championship is even more magical. Zhang Zhang has long become a "new god", which is obviously more beneficial to the promotion of f1.
Driven by Bernie, Zhang Guan's name appeared in major media in Europe in the next few days.
...
While Zhang Guan won the championship of the year, the Force China team had already locked the team championship of the year ahead of schedule.
Formula One's annual champion has always been monopolized by large teams. Even if it is not a Ferrari-like manufacturer team, it is also a team that has been mixed in f1 for many years. The new team may need one or two years of experience to reach the podium. It will take a few years or even more than ten years of accumulation to be able to get involved in the team championship of the year.
The victory of Chinese power has undoubtedly created another miracle. A new team won the team championship in the first year of Formula One, which is unique in the history of F1.
Last year’s Honda team was a weak chicken in f1. Honda and Force India both scored nothing, and Honda is even worse than Force India, because Force India also participated in the 2009 season anyway, and Honda Team can’t play directly. .
No one can expect that the weakest team in F1 last year became the strongest team after being acquired by Zhang Guan and changed its name. This result surprised many people, and many people were in Mocking Honda's decision, saying that they let go of a laying hen.
And some people began to analyze without any boredom. Within a year, the weak chicken Honda team became the strongest Chinese force. What happened during the period. When Zhang Guan acquired the Honda team, he left the original team at the European headquarters. The designers, engineers and technicians have not changed. The only change is that the driver changed from Patton to Zhang Guan. But if you look at Barrichello's second place in the world, you can know that even without changing drivers, China Power will still be the top team.
However, the Power China team uses Mercedes-Benz engines. Before this, Honda team was a manufacturer team, they used Honda's own racing engine. The same set of people has become stronger after replacing the engine, so after analysis, some analysts believe that the engine of Honda is a lot worse than the engine of Mercedes-Benz.
The engine is the heart of the car. If a car manufacturer does not produce a good engine, it should never be expected to make a good car, so this has also caused consumers to question Honda.
Honda once again took the blame. In fact, the engine of the f1 car and the engine of the ordinary civilian car can be said to be two completely different things. Compared with the ordinary civilian car, the f1 car is really too unattainable. This is like comparing fried potato shreds to Buddha jumping walls. A cook wouldn’t be able to cook a shredded potato, but he would definitely make potato shreds and shreds. Let a good chef who cooks a chicken jump over the wall to fry the shredded potatoes. Is better.
In fact, manufacturers at the f1 level are not surprised at the manufacturing level. The more high-tech things reach the top of the pyramid, the harder it is to widen the gap. The so-called leader, sometimes It’s just a step away from you. In one step, you catch up with him, and in two steps, you surpass him.

On the plane flying to Singapore, Ross-Brown held a report in his hand and looked very happy.
"What are you laughing at?" Zhang Guan asked.
"Zhang, do you know, we made money!" Rose Brown said.
"Make money? I don't quite understand." Zhang Guan asked unclearly.
"We won this year's team championship, so there will be an additional bonus." Ross Brown said.
"Bonus? Who gave it?" Zhang Guan then asked.
"It's the salary for running Formula One. It seems that you don't know yet. Participating in the f1 team will get some bonuses every year. This bonus is of course the higher the ranking, the higher it is given. In addition, there are some other big teams "The split." Ross Brown explained.
"How much can we have? How much can we make?" Zhang Guan still cares more about specific numbers.
"I figured it out, I should be able to get at least 60 million pounds." Ross Brown pointed to the paper in his hand.
"60 million pounds? So much! More than the operating expenses of some small fleets." Zhang Guan said.
"Formula 1 will earn more than a billion dollars in revenue each year. Bernie’s old guy as president can also be divided into tens of millions every year. And part of the revenue will be awarded to the team as a bonus. For many For small teams, this bonus is actually the main source of their income, which can almost offset their operating expenses. If the results are better, they may even make money." Ross Brown thought for a while, then said : "For example, the Honda team's bonus last year was 20 million pounds. This money originally belonged to us, but the stingy Bernie said that because the Honda team changed ownership, it can not enjoy the 20 million pounds."
"I remember the Honda team was the last one last year? Can the last one take 20 million? The operating company of f1 is really generous." Zhang Guan sighed and said the truth, he was taken aback by this number. Because in Zhang Guan's cognition, the top few have always been rich, and I have never heard of which sport is the last to get a huge bonus.
"Honda team is a manufacturer team, so as long as they participate, there will be a fixed bonus for the manufacturer team." Ross Brown explained.
"Then we should get the most? We are not the manufacturer team, but we are the first." Zhang Guan then asked.
"Sorry, we don't get the most, Ferrari has the most bonuses, and McLaren may have more bonuses than us." Rose Brown continued.
"Because they are manufacturer teams?" Zhang Guan asked.
"It’s not just the manufacturer’s team. As the veteran team in F1, they can enjoy the share of F1 revenue. I remember that Ferrari can get 5% of F1’s annual revenue. McLaren is less than Ferrari. In addition to the team ranking bonus, Ferrari will always make more than hundreds of millions of dollars from F1 every year. In addition, like the Williams team, although it is not a manufacturer team, because they are a senior team, they will also Enjoy additional revenue share, this part of the money can be obtained as long as they participate in the game." Ross Brown said.
Zhang Guan nodded suddenly. The commercialization of the sports industry in China every day is not worth mentioning compared to f1. F1 is really everyone has meat, and the country is more like a pit sponsor. How many billions are sold for a naming rights and how many billions are sold for a broadcast right are all astronomical figures, but in the end it is not clear who such a large sum of money has fallen into the pocket of anyone. Anyway, when the coach is invited, the astronomical figures are all none. The shadow disappeared, and the club only heard such a number but could not see the real money. (To be continued.)
