Ross Brown didn't immediately understand what Zhang Guan meant by "filling up the tank", he thought Zhang Guan was going to use a pit stop strategy, so he said: "In this race, the timing of a pit stop is about 35 laps, considering that this year's super soft tires are not very wearable, you can push the pit stop a little later, if you think you can hold up a few more laps, you can give you more oil."

"How many laps of oil are you going to want?" Technical Director Jander asked from the side.

"Fifty-six laps!" Zhang Guan replied.

"Okay, no problem." Jandel didn't react to the number "56" at first, he took this as the boss's order, so he agreed without even thinking about it.

Ross Brown, who was next to him, reacted and said, "What are you kidding, there are only 56 laps in this race!" You're going to fill up fifty-six laps of gas, aren't you ready to make a pit stop? ”

"yes, I don't want to pit and run all the way to the end." Zhang Guan replied.

"No way, that's a foul! We had to use two types of tires. Ross Brown said, shaking his head.

There is no limit to the number of pit stops a driver can make, and if a driver is idle, it is okay to pit once per lap.

But for each race, tyre provider Princestone will supply two dry tyres for each team, and in China they will offer super soft and medium tyres, which are required by the rules for every car to be used in the race. Under this rule, it is impossible to run the entire course without making a pit stop, because in order to use both types of tyres, the car must have a tyre change, so it must have at least one pit stop.

As for the capacity of the fuel tank, it is no problem to support the car to run the whole distance, Formula 1 looks small, but the fuel tank is large. In the future, in 2010, the FIA canceled the refueling in the race, that is, all the cars did not refuel to run the whole distance, which also showed that the capacity of the fuel tank was sufficient.

I only heard Zhang Guan continue: "The rules require that we must use two types of tires, but don't forget that there is another explanation on the rules, that is, except for rainy days." ”

"Except for rainy days? Are you betting on tomorrow's rain fight? You're taking advantage of the rules! Ross Brown understood instantly.

Princeton offers a total of six types of tires this year, four dry and two rain, with two different dry tires available at each stop, while wet tires are fixed two, which are full wet and semi-wet. If it's raining, for everyone's safety, of course, the car has to use rain tires, and the people who make the rules will certainly not force the driver to use two different dry tires on a rainy day, so the rules of F1 also allow that there is no need to use two kinds of dry tires in the case of rain.

As for the two kinds of rain tires, there is no hard requirement to use them all, when the rain is small, use half rain tires, when the rain is heavy, use all rain tires, the team can choose to use the kind of rain tires according to the actual situation and weather conditions, the rules can not be in the case of heavy rain to force the team to use half rain tires to run, and that is not safe.

So if it really rains in tomorrow's race, Zhang Guan can start with rain tires and then run all the way to the finish without pit stops, without worrying about changing tires, which is theoretically feasible, and can be seen as a loophole.

Ross Brown pondered for a few seconds, then finally shook his head: "No, it only works in theory, but in practice it is simply impossible. Let's assume the race is going on in the rain, but if it's halfway through the race and the rain stops and the road dries, you'll have to go back to the pits and get on dry tyres. We couldn't run dry on the wet tyres, the lap time was too much to lose. ”

"So I'm going to bet that it's going to rain all the way tomorrow!" Zhang Guan said.

"It's going to rain all the way around? This chance is even smaller than the chance of a rain battle. Although the weather team has determined that there is a 90% chance of rain tomorrow, what is the probability that a game will last for two hours and rain for two hours in a row? It's too risky to gamble like this. Ross Brown began.

"I was the last to start, and since I want to gamble, of course I have to put it all on the line! If it's at the table right now, you only have the only chips, and you only have one chance, how do you choose? Zhang Guan didn't wait for Ross Brown to speak, and replied to himself: "I will choose to put my chips in the place with the best odds, even if it is the least odds!" ”

Ross Brown thought about it carefully, and also felt that what Zhang Guan said made sense, anyway, he was the last to start, is it possible to hope to compete for the first place? The last place to seek stability, it is a meaningless thing at all, but it is better to gamble a big one!

But Ross Brown immediately thought of another question, and he shook his head again: "Impossible, still impossible." Although there is no problem with the capacity of the oil, the tires cannot hold it. In the 56-lap race, the tires absolutely couldn't hold up. ”

"What about us running on heavy rain tires? Heavy rain tires should be the most wear-resistant! Zhang Guan said immediately.

"That won't hold up! The limit of heavy rain tires is 45 laps, so even if we can make it to 50 laps, what about the last six laps? It is estimated that by the time it reaches fifty laps, the lines of the heavy rain tires have long been smoothed out, and you are equivalent to running with bald tires, and running at least six laps of rain with bald tires, how is this possible! Ross Brown said, shaking his head.

"I want to give it a try. In case the rain stops at the last six laps, I can just run down! Zhang Guan said.

"Hehe, how can there be so many just in case." Ross Brown felt that Zhang Guan seemed to be purely looking for a reason, and he opened his mouth to comfort: "Zhang, you are already the first driver now, and we are also the first in the team, you don't have to put so much pressure on yourself, you don't have to be so persistent." There are more than a dozen races ahead, we still have a long way to go, and you have time to fight for the championship, including the eventual world championship! ”

Zhang Guanchang sighed, he shook his head slightly, and his eyes revealed an unshakable firmness: "Mr. Brown, you know, this race has extraordinary significance for me, this is my home field, this is the first time that a Chinese driver has competed on the soil of his own country!" All I want to be a champion, I just want a champion! Except for the first prize, all other results meant defeat for me! ”

Looking at Zhang Guan's persistent appearance, Ross Brown could fully feel Zhang Guan's will. It is a desire for honor, and it is an oath of a strong man.

Unconsciously, Ross Brown felt a deep emotion, but also an impulse to help Zhang Guan achieve his goal of winning the championship in China.

"Okay, then I'll make a big bet with you!" Ross Brown spoke. (To be continued.) )
