Chapter 278: Dry Tire Running Rain Battle (22/20)

In the Ferrari command room, Schumacher's brow furrowed more and more. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"It's been 46 laps, why hasn't Zhang Guan made a pit stop yet, his set of rain tires is almost smoothed, what is he still holding onto? Now it's still raining heavily, and his tires will only run slower and slower, maybe a poorly controlled side slip will cause a fatal accident, why does he run again? Is this a deliberate strategy? ”

Schumacher thought of his old friend Ross Brown.

Ross Brown is known as the master of strategy in Formula 1, and he has worked with Schumacher for many years, and many of Schumacher's classic victories are backed by Ross Brown's precise strategy, so seeing this scene in front of him, Schumacher immediately thought that this would be Ross Brown's special strategy.

"Are you going to pit on the last lap and cross the finish line in the pits?" Schumacher then thought.

Pits and finish straights are often parallel, and the distance in the pit lane is calculated for laps, and passing through a pit lane is equivalent to passing a finish timer, so there is a situation where the pit lane crosses the final finish line, of course, the premise of this must be that the team's pit stop is before the finish line. This is actually a loophole, and Schumacher happened to use this tactic of crossing the finish line in the pit lane back then, and it was naturally Ross Brown who commanded him to do so.

"No, there is a speed limit in the pits, the running is already slow, and with the time to change the tyres, it is simply too late, and Vettel will still cross the finish line first." Schumacher shook his head.

However, the next moment, Schumacher realized that it was a rain war!

"Isn't Zhang Guan going to make a pit stop at all!" Schumacher jerked his head up, and he thought of the possibility.

"You have to use two types of tyres in the race, except in the rain! Because this is a rain battle, I simply don't change the tires and run all the way to the end! This is a loophole in the rules! This is typical Ross Brown style. Schumacher's face was full of shock when he thought of this, but the next second, he immediately shook his head.

"No way, this tactic can't be successful, the tires can't hold it! A set of all-rain tires can last 40 laps, but the remaining 16 laps can't run at all! Ross Brown wouldn't make such a low-level mistake. Now Zhang Guan's tires are about to be ground into bald tires, and he uses bald tires to run in the rain? Hehe, even when I was at the peak of the year, I could barely hold on for a few laps! Schumacher thought to himself.

……

Lap 47.

Turn 16, the last corner of the circuit, is where the pit entrance is located. In this corner, the left turn enters the big straight before the finish line, and the left turn after going straight enters the pits.

"It's Turn 16 ahead, it's time for Zhang Guan to make a pit stop! Haha, number one, I'm coming! Vettel smiled happily under the helmet.

However, instead of going straight, the red car in front of him chose to turn left.

"What? Zhang Guan has to run one more lap? I know you're playing at home, but it's good to be last on the grid and the home crowd will cheer you on even if you pit now. Vettel thought silently.

……

On lap 48, we reached Turn 16 again.

"It's time for Zhang Guan to enter the station! His tires are almost smooth! Vettel looked ahead, then watched as the red car turned left and onto the final big straight.

"Don't you pit yet? Last lap, I was already faster than you, what are you still holding onto? ”

……

On lap 49, it was still Turn 16.

Zhang Guan still chose to turn left into the Grand Straight.

At this time, Vettel was already a little angry.

"You don't pit yet, my patience is limited!"

……

On lap 50, there were only six laps left until the end of the race.

"Haven't made a pit stop yet? No, something is wrong! ”

By this time, Zhang Guan had not even chosen to make a pit stop, and Vettel had already realized that something was wrong.

……

The command room of the Chinese power.

Ross Brown looked at the screen with a tangled expression, his heart was almost hanging in his throat, and every turn of Zhang Guan made him feel extremely nervous.

"Zhang Guan's tires are almost out of place, and he has to be very careful in cornering now, otherwise there will inevitably be a side slip, and this situation will get worse and worse. Now that Vettel has begun to approach, if Vettel realizes that Zhang Guan will not pit at all, he will definitely attack, and with Zhang Guan's set of tires, I am afraid that he will not be able to hold on for a lap! What to do? Now we can only hope that Red Bull will not guess our strategic choice. ”

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed through Ross Brown's mind, and he seemed to think of something.

The next moment, Ross Brown said violently: "Quick, let the maintenance man go out with the tires, by the way, take the dry tires, don't take the rain tires, and don't open the insulation cover of the tires, now, quickly!" ”

"Do you want Zhang Guan to enter the pit stop to change tires?" The engineer next to him asked, wondering why Ross Brown would change his strategy at this time.

"Don't change the tire, let Zhang Guan continue to run! But the mechanic has to go out with the tires. Ross Brown continued.

"If you don't change the tire, what are you going to do with the maintenance technician?" The engineer asked, a little brainlessly.

"Nonsense, of course, it's telling other people that Zhang Guan is going to enter the pit stop, and we're going to change tires!" Ross Brown spoke.

……

Zhang Guan has not yet entered the station, which also surprised everyone at the scene.

When entering the continuous hairpin corner, Zhang Guan's tires had some slight locks, and this situation was captured by the camera, and people can clearly see that Zhang Guan's tires have been completely smoothed out and become a set of bald tires. In other words, the current Zhang Guan is running in the rain with bald tires.

"Oh my God, the pattern on Zhang Guan's tires has been completely smoothed, and he is running in the rain with such a set of tires! It's the equivalent of a dry tire! ”

"How can a flattened rain tire have dry tire performance! Now Zhang Guan's set of tires must be far worse than dry tires in terms of performance! But he's still running, how did he do it! ”

"Bald tires run in the rain, there are people in this world who can do this, unimaginable! If you don't see it with your own eyes, you really can't imagine it! ”

"Look, it's slippery! Fortunately, it was saved! A bald tire really can't run! This time the sideslip lost a second, so let's go in and change the tires! ”

At this time, the director switched the picture to the garage of the China Power Fleet, and saw the maintenance technician holding the tire, holding an electric screwdriver, and carrying the fuel pipe.

"The Chinese power has moved, the maintenance engineer came out with the tire, and Zhang Guan is going to make a pit stop!" (To be continued.) )
