The air temperature is 20 degrees Celsius, and the track temperature is 19 degrees Celsius, at which temperatures obviously require several laps of the tires to work properly, and all the drivers have been switched to heavy rain tires, because the rules require that all cars must be switched to full rain tires when starting under the guidance of safety cars. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

If the rainfall is just average, the race will definitely not be led by a safety car, and today's rain is really heavy, for the sake of safety, the race will only be driven by a safety car, and all the cars will follow the safety car in order, and the laps under the safety car will be counted in the whole race. This means that in the first few laps of the race, all the cars must follow the safety car at a low speed and circle around the track until the race meets the safety car and the safety car returns to the pits.

This situation is obviously extremely beneficial for Zhang Guan, because Zhang Guan is not ready to run the whole race in one go without entering the pits, so he uses the heaviest fuel load, and following behind the safety car can not only consume fuel, but also not lose lap time because the car is too heavy.

At the same time, under the leadership of the safety car, the speed is slower than usual, and the wear and tear of the tires is much lighter.

One, two, three, four...... It's already the fifth lap, and the safety car still has no intention of going back, and some teams can't bear it.

Some of the teams were light on fuel, and their original plan was to use a lighter tank and a set of ultra-soft tyres, and rush to the front at the beginning of the race, usually the light fuel would probably pit for laps 12 to 15, and the super-soft tyres would be able to last that long, but they didn't expect a heavy rain to completely disrupt their plans.

Even if it is a safety car to drive under the leadership of the fuel will be more fuel-efficient, but for those who only add eleven or two laps of fuel, they can't afford to consume, their original plan was to rush to the front at the beginning of the race, but now it is a slow circle with everyone, the advantage of light fuel is not reflected at all, but in vain fuel consumption.

Now that lap 5 has passed, the safety car is still outside, and if the safety car runs another ten or eight laps, the lightly loaded car will be the first to run out of gasoline. Running out of gasoline in such a low-speed loop is undoubtedly a very unwise choice, so some light-duty cars simply choose to pit for refueling at this time.

The first to stand was Williams' Rosberg and then Alonso, and the two cars were undoubtedly at the bottom of the pit line, but Zhang Guan was lucky to move forward two terms to eighteenth.

Finally, on lap seven, things were much better on the track, and it was announced that the safety car would return to the pits on lap eight.

On lap eight, the safety car returned to the pits and the race began.

If it is a stationary start, the first few corners will inevitably make the drivers fight fiercely, but the dynamic start does not have this problem, and the first few cars enter the corners relatively smoothly.

Pole-sitted Sebastian Vettel and team-mate Webb managed to hold on to the top two, with Barrichello on the back of them. McLaren's Hamilton eased past Ferrari's Raikkonen, who said his car engine was out of order.

Later, Zhang Guan also began to accelerate, and he was the first to face the Indian power driver Fisichella, and in front of Fisichella was the Indian power Sutir.

"Blocking a lap for 10,000 dollars, I don't know if the first few laps of the safety car are leading, can it be regarded as blocking Zhang Guan?" Fisichella thought to himself as he looked in the direction of Turn 1 ahead, but the splash from his team-mate Suthier's car made his vision a little blurred. However, the flashing red taillights of the Suthir racing car are unusually conspicuous.

"It's almost time to brake!" Sutil listened to the sound of the engine and chose to put a foot on the brakes.

Formula 1 cars don't have a dashboard, but as a professional driver, you can judge the speed of the car and the revs of the engine by feeling and the sound of the engine, and at the same time apply different braking forces.

The Shanghai International Circuit has a long starting straight, with a tail speed of up to 310 kilometers per hour at the end of the straight, and the car is in sixth gear at this time, and then the first turn needs to be quickly reduced to fourth gear, so a strong brake is required.

However, the moment Fisicel pulled the brakes, a red figure suddenly appeared beside him.

"It's Zhang Guan!" Fisichella instantly understood that Zhang Guan had taken advantage of a late braking point to catch up with him.

"Brake so late, you can't get into the corner!" Fisichella was also experienced, and he quickly adjusted the angle of the car into Turn 1, trying to press Zhang Guan behind him as he exited the corner.

But the red shadow in front of him flickered, and there was another taillight in front of Fisicella.

In the first corner, Zhang Guan passed Fisichella smoothly.

The Chinese Power car was fitted with a double diffuser, which already had an advantage in terms of downforce, so it could have better speed in the corners, and although Zhang Guan's braking point was later than Fisichella, he used a slight understeer to ensure his speed in and out of corners, so he easily overtook Fisichella.

It's not just the advantages of the car, it's the crushing of the technology.

At this time, under the helmet, Fisichella's expression has become very ugly, one second he was still dreaming of blocking Zhang Guan's lap to earn 10,000 yuan, and the next second he was directly surpassed by Zhang Guan.

However, Zhang Guan did not stop, and he rushed directly into Turn 2 to launch an attack on another car of Force India.

……

Turn 2, Turn 3 and Turn 4 are the first difficulty of this track, these three corners are connected into a continuous hairpin corner, and the highest point of the whole track is at the position of Turn 2, that is to say, this continuous hairpin turn is uphill into the corner, downhill out of the corner, the whole process of the car will be continuously reduced from the fourth gear to the second gear, and the speed of the car has to be quickly reduced from 200 kilometers to 100 kilometers.

The Shanghai International Circuit has a slope, and the lowest point of the track is 4.5 meters in absolute height, and the highest point of the track is the position of Turn 2, with an absolute height of 11.24 meters, and the difference between the lowest position and the highest position of the track is a full 6.74 meters, which is equal to the height of three big Yao. It's just that it is several square kilometers, and the drop of more than 6 meters is nothing.

But for the driver, running this kind of continuous hairpin bend with uphill and downhill on a rainy day also has a certain amount of handling pressure.

Now, Force India's Suthir is preparing to go through the continuous hairpin corners, but the pressure he faces is not only the corners, the slopes and the rain, but also the close Zhang Guan, who is already close behind, is the main source of his pressure.

It was raining, the roads were difficult, the curves were hard to turn, and there were pursuers behind them, which was indeed a very tragic situation.

"What does Fisichella eat! Let him block Zhang Guan, why didn't he even hold on to a corner! Suthir couldn't help but curse in his heart. (To be continued.) )
