On the twenty-ninth lap, when Zhang Guan passed by the entrance of the pit area, he did not enter the pit, but drove directly over. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Zhang Guan did not make a pit stop to change tires, he chose to run an extra lap on the road. Now I'm on all-wet tires, so if I run an extra lap on the track, I'm afraid I'll be nearly two seconds behind. Switching to dry tires as soon as possible can always earn more time! The narrator spoke.

"The China Power Team should be ready to let Barrichello change tires first, and test the track environment first, after all, Barrichello is the No. 2 driver and has a lot of race flags. And Zhang Guan may pit the next time he passes through the pit lane. Kindness? The reaction of the Chinese power convoy seems to be a little slow! Their maintenance technician was still in the garage and didn't come out. ”

At this time, the broadcast camera of the TV set was aimed at the maintenance area, and I saw that in the garage of the Chinese power convoy, all the maintenance technicians were sitting there, and they had no intention of moving.

If you don't refuel in a Formula 1 car, it only takes two seconds to change the tyres once, and all this is of course recommended on adequate preparation. The car is still far from the pit entrance, and the team's mechanics will be ready to pick up the car with tools, and if they wait for the car to drive into the pit lane and then prepare to change the tyres and refuel, it is equivalent to pitting their teammates.

"Isn't Barrichello going to pit either?" As soon as the commentator's voice fell, the camera cut to Barrichello, only to see the red car "whoosh" past the entrance of the pit lane and run directly to the big straight in front of the main stand, with no intention of entering the pit stop at all.

"Really don't pit stop! Barrichello is also running on rain tires! Why? Why is that? You lose two seconds in a lap! If the road surface is completely dry, the temperature of the soft tires will increase a bit, and maybe even more time will be lost! I really don't understand what the Chinese power thinks again! The narrator sighed.

……

As the top two teams in the Chinese Power team, their strategic choice will of course be watched by the other teams, and by this time all the team's strategic engineers have noticed that two of the Chinese Power cars passed through the pit entrance without making a pit stop for a tyre.

Ferrari were the first to switch to wet tyres, which gave them a second-long advantage over the first few laps, and when the rain stopped, they were the first to switch to dry tyres, which they had already run two laps on the track.

"Raikkonen has already run two laps on dry tyres, so let's calculate the speed difference between him and Zhang." Ferrari principal Domenecali spoke.

A few seconds later, the crew said the number: "Raikkonen was 1.1 seconds faster than Zhang Guan on the first lap of the dry tyre, and 1.7 seconds faster than Zhang Guan on the last lap." ”

"It's the temperature of the tires that comes up and we can get better grip, so we're getting faster. It is estimated that the grip of the tires will be better on the next lap, and the speed gap will widen! Maybe two seconds. Domenecali nodded silently, he looked at the command area of the Chinese forces not far away, but there was a doubt in his eyes.

"What the hell are you thinking, you old fox, Ross Brown? Are you betting that it will rain? ”

……

On lap 30, Zhang Guan ignored the entrance to the pit pits, and he slammed the throttle onto the big straight, passed the finish timing point, and then made the race to lap 31.

Third on the track was Toyota's Trulli, who also switched to dry tyres early, while Rosberg lost third place due to a pit stop.

"I've been able to see Barrichello in front of me, how far am I from Barrichello?" Trulli asked.

"About 7 seconds! However, Barrichello is still on wet tyres, so he will definitely make a pit stop for tyres, so you don't have to worry about him. The team engineer spoke.

"Are you still using rain tires? That's going to be a lot slower. I tried to catch him within three laps. Trulli spoke.

"In addition, Zhang Guan, who is the first, is also running on rain tires." The fleet engineer continued.

"Zhang Guan is also using rain tires? How much gap is there between us? Trulli asked.

"32 seconds. In the last three laps, you've caught up with 5 seconds. And Zhang Guan will definitely pit again to change the rain tires, excluding the time consumed by the pit stop, the actual gap between you and Zhang Guan is fifteen seconds. The fleet engineer continued.

"Fifteen seconds? With twenty-six laps to go, I'm afraid it will be difficult to catch up. Trulli said with some deflatment.

"Don't be discouraged, we've been staring at the pit room of the China Power team, and their maintenance technicians are still sitting there chatting, and they don't have any intention of coming out to get ready for a tire change, so Zhang Guan will run a few laps on rain tires, and this is our chance. Your tires are almost at their optimum operating temperature, so you'll be faster! The team's engineer encouraged.

……

On lap 31, Zhang Guan passed the entrance of the pit station again, and he still did not make a pit stop, but this time, all the teams behaved as usual, because in the pit area, the technicians of China Force were still chatting and joking, and had no intention of coming out to work at all.

At this time, Ross Brown in the command area looked at the latest data and couldn't sit still.

"We were really two seconds slower than everyone else, and Barrichello was already on the verge of being caught up by Trulli, so it's not going to go on like this, we can't wait any longer." Ross Brown slammed to his feet and said, "Go get ready for the dry tyres, calculate the amount of fuel needed for the last twenty-five laps, tell Barrichello, pit for the next lap, and get ready to run all the way to the end." ”

Ross Brown had just finished speaking, but another voice fell into his ears.

"Smack!"

"Huh?" Ross Brown looked outside

"Dada......da countless raindrops fell from the sky and landed on the ground, as if they were machine-gun fire, making a crackling sound.

"It's raining! It's really raining! Rose-Brown exclaimed and ran out of the carport quickly, looking up at the sky, where the rain fell from a high place and hit him in the face, causing him some pain.

This time the rain was heavier and more rapid than before, and it came even more suddenly, and in just a few seconds, the ground was already completely soaked.

The command rooms of the surrounding teams were all in a hurry, and Ross Brown looked around and it wasn't just himself who came out to see the rain, Ferrari's Domenicali, McLaren's Whitmarsh, Red Bull's Neuvy, Honda's Gascoigne...... Almost all the leaders of the teams ran out of the command center and looked up at the sky.

"It's raining, it's raining again!"

"It's only been raining for five laps, why is it starting to fall again!"

"This time it's even heavier than just now, it's raining heavily!"

"The track was already soaking wet, and in these conditions, you couldn't run on dry tires! Damn, it's time to change the rain tires again. ”

There was a lot of scolding all around, but gradually it was drowned out by the pouring of rain, and Ross-Brown looked at the carport opposite, only to find that everything in front of him was beginning to blur.

Because the rain was so heavy! This can no longer be said to be heavy rain, but should be considered heavy rain!

Ross Brown returned to the command room, and he looked at the broadcast screen, which happened to show Zhang Guan speeding in front of the big straight, and the full rain tires rolled over the road, splashing more than a meter high, scattering to both sides.

"It's really raining, and it's raining so much! Zhang Guan was right. Ross Brown's hanging heart also calmed down.

"This can be bet on, Zhang Guan is really a person who is favored by God!" (To be continued.) )
