As soon as Zhang Guan got off the plane, he was blocked by He Yiming. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Brother He, why did you come to Singapore?" Zhang Guan asked with some surprise.

"The competition in Europe is a bit far away, I can't go there, Singapore is so close, of course I have to come and see your game in person!" He Yiming smiled and pulled Zhang Guan aside, but then his voice suddenly became solemn.

"Did you kid offend someone again?" He Yiming asked.

"Offending someone? Nope! How can I offend someone like me! Zhang Guan thought about it carefully, and then said: "In addition to the 500 million dollars that the Mariya family owes me, there is also Sebastian's guy who was messed up by me, by the way, and Honda was cheated by me, and no one else resents me!" ”

"Is this called not offending anyone?" He Yiming shook his head helplessly, and then said, "Someone wants to fight with you." ”

"Fight? What do you mean? Boxing? Who is it? Zhang Guan asked several questions in succession.

"Ruslan Chagaev, nicknamed 'White Tyson', have you heard of it?" He Yiming asked.

"I've heard that an Uzbek heavyweight champion, a WBA gold winner, is known as Tyson's successor. So people nicknamed him 'White Tyson'. Then again, I don't know him at all, I shouldn't have offended him, why did he fight me? Zhang Guan said.

"Then it seems that what Chagaev said may be true." He Yiming continued: "The reason Chagaev gave was that he wanted to see your butterfly step, so he wanted to play a friendly match with you, and he knew that you were competing in F1, so he said that he could wait, and you could decide the time and place." He also said you can bring protective gear. Listening to this posture, it seems that I really want to play a friendly match with you. ”

"Let's think about it, we have to find out if this Chagaev has other intentions. And even if you do want to play, you have to wait until the end of the F1 season. Singapore is a night battle, and I haven't run a night battle yet! Zhang Guan said.

……

The Singapore Grand Prix, which started last year, was the first of its kind in Formula 1 night racing, and before the Singapore Grand Prix, racing had never been held at night.

With the area of the racetrack, it is obviously a very financially expensive thing to completely cover a racetrack with lights, and with the utilization rate of the racetrack, it is a thing that outweighs the loss by pressing the street lights for the racetrack. Located in Marina Bay, the southernmost point that surrounds Singapore, the venue is also the busiest place in Singapore at night, even at night, when it is surrounded by lights. In order to accommodate the Formula 1 races, Singapore has laid a special lighting cable and installed more than 1,600 flood lights, which can be four times brighter than the average stadium.

Since it is a street race, it naturally has the characteristics of a street race, and the track is narrow and curved, and it is not easy to overtake. In fact, there are a total of 23 corners at the Singapore circuit, and one of them is a one-block corner, which is rare in Formula 1. At the level of an F1 driver, second gear is already very slow, and drivers don't drive in first gear at all, except for the start, and Singapore's Turn 13 has to lower gears to first gear for the vast majority of drivers to get around.

With this kind of multi-curved track, the downforce of the car has become a very important factor in the race, and it is clear that the Haicang race has become a battle between China Power and Red Bull Racing. The Chinese power has the most perfect double-layer diffuser that allows the car to gain more downforce to gain an advantage in the corners, while the Red Bull car has the most perfect aerodynamics, which is also a huge advantage on this kind of track.

Ferrari, who had been impressive on the high-speed track in the first two races, lost their competitiveness when they arrived in Singapore, and at least in practice, the two Ferrari drivers were very mediocre, and even Schumacher, the champion, did not show the same dominance as in the first two races.

It was the first time for Zhang Guan to race at night, but when he got on the track, he found that it was no different from the daytime race, at least the line of sight was not affected, and even better than that of Yuzhan, the only difference was that the sky was white during the day, while the sky was dark at night.

"No wonder they all say that the night battle in Singapore is just a gimmick!" Zhang Guan thought to himself.

For a racer, the night race is no different from the day race, and even the roadside road signs become more visible due to the reflection, and all that remains in Singapore is the "night fight" gimmick.

Pre-race predictions were that Singapore would be another battle between Power China and Red Bull Racing, but there was a spoiler in qualifying, McLaren's Hamilton. The recent media outpouring of praise for Zhang Guan has clearly irritated Hamilton, who won the race four races ahead of schedule, and Hamilton only got away with winning last year in the final race, and it was based on a mistake by the Scuderia Ferrari. At the same time, Zhang Guan's record of winning the championship in his first year of competition also broke Hamilton's record of winning the second place in his first year of competition. People can't help but compare Zhang Guan with Hamilton, and the final conclusion is that Zhang Guan wants to win Hamilton.

Hamilton was a strong man, he was the kind of driver who could fight with his teammates for his own victory, so he couldn't accept that he was not as good as Zhang Guan, so he ran hard in this race, and he wanted to prove himself with a Singapore championship.

Hamilton was really fast, and he ran to the limit, with a few corners and even clinging to the guardrail wall, you know, this is a street race, and in Singapore, where every inch of land is at a premium, there is no big buffer zone around the road, basically the edge of the track is next to the wall. On other tracks, if you accidentally go off the track, you will at most enter the buffer zone, and you will lose some time but you can still drive the car back, but in Singapore, running off the track means hitting a wall.

Hamilton's high-stakes approach has paid off enough that no one has dared to run as boldly, and he managed to finish first in qualifying and will start from pole position.

Second place was Zhang Guan, third place was Sebastian Vettel, fourth place was Williams Racing teenager Rosberg, fifth place was Red Bull Racing's Webb, Barrichello crashed in qualifying, but fortunately he had already run a bottom result, in sixth place, but the replacement of car parts had to be ten places back to the grid.

In the race the following day, Hamilton managed to hold on for first place at the start, while Zhang Guan was attacked by Sebastian Vettel at the start of the race. The car on the right side of the track has a bit more grip, so the driver who starts on the right side will have an advantage, and Vettel will take advantage of this to overtake Zhang Guan at the start.

Zhang's successful defense prevented Vettel from succeeding, and Hamilton, who was running at the front, was running at his own pace, but he couldn't shake off Zhang Guan.

This is the Singapore Grand Prix, with 23 corners in one lap and you have to brake before you can accelerate much, it is very difficult to get rid of your opponents, and you have to lap much later on this track than other circuits.

Similarly, overtaking is not easy at the Singapore circuit, the corners are too narrow for defenders to easily hold their course, and the distance from Turn 21 to the end of the Grand Straight is perhaps the only place on the track where there is a chance to overtake.

Zhang Guan also knows this, and with Hamilton's character, maybe he would rather fight for a lose-lose and both retire, and will forcibly hold his position, so Zhang Guan is not in a hurry to overtake, but is constantly like Hamilton pressure, especially when approaching Turn 21, he is trying to approach Hamilton, giving Hamilton an illusion that he wants to overtake.

Hamilton, of course, will not give Zhang Guan a chance to overtake, in order to stop Zhang Guan, he chooses the route very extreme every lap, and this is also the result that Zhang Guan wants. Hamilton's style of running is actually a very low-margin run, and he can't afford to make the slightest mistake.

People are not machines, of course there will be mistakes, and Zhang Guan is just waiting for Hamilton to make mistakes.

Hamilton was under a lot of pressure, but he was lucky, as an accident on the track on lap 21 sent the safety car out and the drivers took advantage of the opportunity to pit for tyre changes, and Hamilton took the opportunity to breathe a sigh of relief.

After four laps, the safety car was back and the race restarted, with Zhang continuing to put pressure on Hamilton. After lap 30, Zhang Guan always kept the gap between the two within 1 second, and such a short gap was almost as close to the car in front as the car behind in some corners.

Hamilton's defensive moves are getting bigger, and his tires are wearing out more and more because of his aggressive defense, and in the race, the more worn the tires mean that the grip is worse and the car is more difficult to control.

On lap 33, Hamilton had already been instructed to protect his tyres, but Hamilton's personality was obviously not one to follow the team's instructions seriously, and he had a history of violating the directives, so he naturally took the team's instructions to protect his tyres as a deaf ear.

On lap 35, Hamilton paid the price for his willfulness when he made a mistake in a corner, and when he saw that Zhang Guan was about to overtake, Hamilton was eager to correct it, but his overwhelmed tyres could not allow the car to do the technical manoeuvres he needed.

Hamilton didn't control his own line, his car came into close contact with the protective wall, the front nose wing and tires of the car rubbed directly against the protective wall, and the friction sparks scattered around the night sky, when Hamilton controlled the direction of the car, he paid the price of a front nose wing, a tire and a position in first place.

Hamilton didn't give up, he still insisted on the track, he wanted to run back to the pits to replace the parts, but the Singapore win was no longer relevant to him.

Zhang made his second pit stop, and a new set of supersoft tyres was enough to keep him running until the end of the race.

……

Zhang Guan won the Singapore Grand Prix, followed by the Japanese Grand Prix, which was a back-to-back race, with the team flying non-stop to Japan on Monday.

For Zhang Guan, the Japan Grand Prix will have a special significance, as the FIA will present Zhang Guan with the trophy of the annual championship.

In the past, the award ceremony was held in Europe, and the time was also at the end of the season, but this year for the first time, a drivers' championship from Asia was born, and even the constructors' championship has nothing to do with Europe, so the FIA is very interesting to bring the award ceremony forward and arrange it in Asia.

This year, Japan was chosen because of its proximity to China, and Chinese fans were able to witness this historic moment in person. Of course, Singapore is not far away, but Singapore is a night battle, and it is already late at night after the game, which is not conducive to the viewing habits of Chinese audiences. And the time difference between Japan and China is only one hour, and after the end of the Japanese Grand Prix, it is dinner time for Chinese audiences, and it is a weekend, so the ratings are guaranteed.

During the Golden Week, there was a flood of Chinese fans in the audience, and some travel agencies even launched special "racing tours", and tickets were already hard to find.

Japan is the only country in Asia with a racing history. First, the Japanese auto industry is very strong, with Toyota and Honda holding two world-class automakers; The second is that Japan's economy is developed, so it started motorsports earlier. Asia's only formula racing race is also held in Japan.

The Japanese Grand Prix used to be held at Fuji Speedway, which was owned by Toyota and was replaced by Suzuka Circuit due to unsafe conditions. And the owner of the Suzuka Circuit is none other than Honda.

However, this year's Japanese Grand Prix has an indescribable taste for Honda. Zhang Guan will be crowned here, and the Chinese power will also win the constructors' championship trophy here, but the Chinese power that won the double championship is precisely the burden that Honda threw out.

It is really ironic for Honda to have his own bad assets and become a double champion in the hands of others, and to be crowned on his own turf.

And Zhang Guan also seemed to deliberately make trouble for Honda, and he won the Japanese Grand Prix. Since the Belgian station, Zhang Guan has created another four consecutive championships.

The medal ceremony was like a one-man show for Zhang Guan, who first celebrated the Japanese Grand Prix with champagne and then went to another medal ceremony to hold the trophy, a symbol of the year's overall winner.

On October 19, the Brazilian Grand Prix, Barrichello, who was fighting at home, won the first place in qualifying, and his good form continued to the main race, but in the second half of the game, Barrichello took the initiative to give up the first position to Zhang Guan, and Zhang Guan successfully reached the top.

Barrichello is Brazilian, and his willingness to make such a sacrifice on his home turf is clearly purposeful. After winning in Brazil, Zhang Guan has now won 13 races this season, which equals the record set by Schumacher in 2004. There is still one last stop left in the F1 race, the final race of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, if Zhang Guanyou can win the championship, he will surpass Schumacher and complete the record of 14 wins in the season!
