The race has come to lap 52, and there are still five laps left before the end of the race, in fact, at this time, there is basically no suspense about the ownership of the championship, because Schumacher at this time has been more than 10 seconds ahead of the second-place Hakkinen.

The stability of McLaren's car became the last straw on the road to Hakkinen's championship, coupled with Hakkinen's anxiety, and a series of operational errors gave Schumacher a great opportunity to extend his lead.

Normally, in the final period, the opponent is ahead by more than ten seconds, and unless the opponent makes a serious mistake, there is no suspense in the battle for the championship.

So at this time, Hakkinen has given up the championship competition, and has changed to an entanglement with his teammate Kuta, the drivers' championship is based on a season's total points, so even if he can't win the Australian race, Hakkinen has to try to get his name closer to second place.

Schumacher, who is far ahead, still does not dare to slack off, concentrates on driving the car, and wants to run the rest of the distance in the best condition, although Bridgestone tires can no longer let the car play the first half of the brave momentum at this time, but thanks to the good overall performance of the car, it can still make up for the defects caused by the tires.

It's close!

And the last two laps!

Schumacher's eyes also became hot, and in the last two minutes, he will be able to win the first championship of the year!

The audience at the scene also held their breath at this time, preparing to welcome the arrival of the "King of Cars" in Australia.

And one last lap!

Schumacher took a deep breath, his hands and feet moved at the same time, and the car let out another roar and rushed towards the final finish.

When Schumacher finally finished the 57th lap of the race, time seemed to freeze all of a sudden, and the orange-red TM2000 car cut a graceful arc on the track, and then came to a steady stop, Schumacher did not get out of the car immediately, he needed time to quietly enjoy the good time of the first finish.

"Schumacher!"

"Schumacher, the king of cars!"

"Schumacher is awesome!"

"This is the return of the king! Prove to those who question him with practical actions that he is not as weak as they say!"

…………

The audience at the scene was completely immersed in the carnival, and the atmosphere reached a climax at this moment.

Jonathan's tense nerves standing in the pit lane were finally relaxed after Schumacher crossed the finish line first, and the first sub-race championship of the Tianming team came!

Jonathan wiped the sweat from his forehead, and then rushed at the rest of the convoy like crazy, embracing them passionately and roaring indulgently.

1 hour 22 minutes 30 seconds 456!

This is the result that Schumacher left on the Albert Park circuit, which is unprecedented, setting the record for the shortest time to complete a race in Australia, and the later record can only be re-established by Schumacher himself.

When Hakkinen, Kuta and others crossed the finish line one after another, Schumacher, who was sitting in the car, finally stepped out, then took off his helmet and looked around the track, like a king, receiving the cheers of his subjects from all over the world.

Schumacher, who has been suppressed for so long, was also released at this time, from the transfer to the Tianming team to all the doubts he received before qualifying, Schumacher used his actual actions to fight back fiercely at this moment.

Schumacher wants to tell the media around the world at this moment that joining Tianming Racing Team is not a career regression, but a big improvement, and it is a win-win deal for himself and Tianming Racing Team!

Soon, the rest of the drivers also finished their own races, except for a few riders who had no choice but to retire due to accidents, the rest of the drivers persevered until the end of the race.

In the end, Schumacher took the lead and won the championship, while McLaren's two drivers, Hakkinen and Kuta, were in second and third place, and the seeded Ferrari's Barrichello, who had the potential to win the championship, only finished 10th due to an accident at the beginning of the race.

It is worth mentioning that Fei Xiaotian of Tianming Racing Team finally beat Fisichella of Benetton Racing Team and won the sixth place, earning a valuable point for Tianming Racing Team.

After the race, reporters who had been waiting on the side of the track for a long time also rushed over and began interviewing various drivers, and Schumacher, who won the championship, was naturally the most popular one among reporters.

"Mr. Schumacher, how do you feel about winning this title?"

"Amid the doubts, you won the Australian race again, can you share your feelings at this moment?"

…………

"First, I want to use this championship to tell everyone that Schumacher is still the same Schumacher as before, and it has never changed, second, this championship is just a good start to this year's season, and I will use more championships to repay the team and the chairman who supported me, and finally, I want to say that I will definitely win my third world championship this year, definitely!"

Schumacher replied word by word in front of all the reporters.

“…………”

After the interview, Schumacher was about to return to the pit lane of the Tianming team, but suddenly a voice called him from behind him, and when Schumacher turned around, it turned out to be his former teammate Barrichello.

"Congratulations!" Barrichello said with a smile as he stepped forward.

Schumacher was stunned, he didn't expect Barrichello to come over to congratulate him.

"Thank you, if you hadn't had an accident, I wouldn't have won the championship so easily. Schumacher replied with a smile.

"There are no ifs and ifs on the field. Barrichello smiled, "But I won't make such a mistake again in the next game, so you have to pay attention, if you want to win the championship again, it will not be so easy." ”

"It's the same for you, and hopefully you'll play better in the future. Schumacher stretched out his right hand, and the two men clasped their hands tightly.

"Then I'll go back first. After some pleasantries, Barrichello did not stay long and soon left.

Schumacher looked at Barrichello's departing figure, then turned and walked towards the pit lane of the Tianming team, where his teammates had been waiting for him for a long time.

"Good work. As soon as Schumacher walked back, Jonathan hugged him and said with a smile.

"Everybody's worked hard. Schumacher also responded with a smile that he was able to win this time because of the joint efforts of the whole team.

"In two weeks' time, there will be the next tough fight, and I hope you can continue to work hard and keep trying. After letting go, Jonathan continued.

Next up is Sao Paulo, Brazil, where the team continues this year's F1 journey.
