In terms of driving skills, Barrichello must admit that there is still a certain gap between himself and Schumacher's level, but if it is really as Teixeira said before, the performance of Schumacher's Tianming team car is far inferior to Ferrari's car, then why is Schumacher's score one second faster than himself in this qualifying race?

Qualifying was only one lap long, and Barrichello didn't feel that he would be so much worse than Schumacher when the car was superior.

So, the only explanation is that the Tianming team's car is nowhere near as bad as they thought!

Even, Schumacher was able to beat Hakkinen to get pole position in this situation, which just shows that the Tianming team's car is at least the same level as McLaren's car!

In this way, Barrichello was able to explain the drastic change in the qualifying position.

"It's not worse than our car, maybe even better than ours......" Teixeira muttered softly, then looked up at Barrichello, "but how is that possible?"

Hearing Teixeira's almost soul-like torture, Barrichello couldn't help but smile bitterly, "The Tianming Group behind the Tianming team may not be as simple as we imagined, their cars, in terms of acceleration and handling performance, should be better than our cars, which will be more vividly displayed in tomorrow's points race." ”

Tomorrow's points race, all the cars will appear on the track at the same time, more than 50 consecutive laps of the race, the importance of racing performance will be infinitely magnified at this time, all kinds of corner overtaking, straight line overtaking for the acceleration performance and handling performance of the car requirements will also be greatly improved.

The difference between Ferrari and Tianming Racing may not be huge, but the accumulation of 57 laps will have a fatal blow to the driver's final result!

"The Tianming Group, that's bigger than the Fiat Group behind our Ferrari. Thinking of this, Teixeira couldn't help but sigh, in the past two years, Tianming Group has been much higher than Fiat Group in terms of car sales.

"Perhaps, Schumacher went to the Tianming team, which is really a better choice. I don't know why, Barrichello suddenly let out such an emotion.

"The king of cars is back, Schumacher takes pole position in the Australian championship!"

"Use strength to make a name for yourself: Schumacher's counterattack!"

"The Australian Grand Prix points race is coming to light today at Albert Park!"

…………

The next day's newspaper was full of praise for Schumacher, and comparing the content of the previous two days, it was really ironic, and overnight, Schumacher once again became the king of everyone's praise.

Today's points race was scheduled to start at 2 p.m. local time in Melbourne, and unlike the practice race and qualifying, this time the points race, each driver will get the corresponding points according to the final standings, which is why the main race is also called the "points race".

The FIA has also made several changes to the points rules of the F1 Championship, and until the 2003 season, the champion driver in each sub-race will receive 10 points, the runner-up and third place will receive 6 and 4 points respectively, from the fourth to the sixth place will receive 3, 2 and 1 points respectively, and all positions from the sixth place down will not receive any points.

However, in 2004, the points rules were changed, except for the first place to get 10 points unchanged, the second and third places received points became 8 and 6 respectively, and the points from the fourth to eighth places were 5/4/3/2/1 points, that is, the FIA extended the number of points obtained to the eighth place.

In 2010, after six years of use, the FIA revised the points rules for F1 stations and still uses them today. Under the new rules, the winner of each race will receive 25 points, the runner-up will receive 18 points, and the third-place driver will receive 15 points.

In addition, from fourth place all the way up to tenth place, they will also receive corresponding points, and under such points rules, the top 10 drivers will have their own points credited, so as to avoid the embarrassment of many drivers with zero points at the end of a season.

In addition to these regular points rules, the FIA also announced in 2013 that each driver would double the number of points earned by each driver in the final race of each season, which would create a huge suspense for the final champion, so this kind of points rule has been criticized and criticized by the outside world since it was proposed.

In addition, from the 2019 season onwards, if a driver finishes in the top 10 and at the same time the driver also sets the fastest lap of the race, he will receive an additional point, a rule that was used between 1950 and 1959 and returned to F1 after 60 years in the 2019 season.

Every year in the F1 season, there will be a Drivers' Championship and a Constructors' Championship, both of which are produced by a cumulative points system, with the driver with the most points in the year winning the Drivers' Championship, and the Constructors' Championship being the addition of the points of the two drivers, and the team with the highest victory.

In addition, if the driver has not completed 2 laps of the race at the time of the calculation of points to determine the winner, the race officer has the right to request that the car be repaired or that a spare car (if allowed to be used in that year's rules) be used to restart.

If 75% of the race is cancelled and the race is not completed, the driver's points must be multiplied by 1/2 to determine the Drivers' and Constructors' World Champions.

If the two drivers end up with the same number of points, the number of wins, runners-up, and third places in each race are compared...... Until one side is more than the other. If it is still the same, the number of fastest laps and the number of pole positions in the race will be compared to determine the championship.

Of course, if all the honors of the last two people are the same, then the final way is to draw lots to determine the final winner. However, since the start of the F1 race, Zhou Jingming has never heard of the final champion being determined by drawing lots.

Before the official start of the points race, the organizing committee also arranged a half-hour warm-up race, at this time in Albert Park, it is a real crowd, the audience to watch the race, more than yesterday's qualifying, which is why the FIA will qualify and the main race time on Saturday and Sunday, itself is to increase ticket revenue.

After the warm-up races, the drivers of each team are already ready to go, and the real collision of speed and passion is about to start.
