Chapter 282: The Last Fight (26/20)

In the last two laps, Zhang Guan can only rely on himself. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Vettel was like a mad bull, desperately chasing forward.

At this time, Vettel had already understood that he had been deceived, Zhang Guan had no intention of making a pit stop, as for the wrong tire just now, and the mechanic fight, it was just a scene to confuse himself.

Vettel felt more and more humiliated as he reflected on what had just happened. Mixed up dry and wet tires, and all four of them were confused, thinking about it is simply impossible, it is raining so hard outside, how can the team come out with a set of dry tires?

Maintenance technician fight? When to fight, but when Zhang Guan is about to arrive at the entrance of the maintenance station, you must know that the maintenance technicians are all members of a team, after years of training together, if there is a contradiction, it will be a long time ago. And no matter how much conflict there is, it's impossible to fight when it comes to changing the tires of the drivers.

All this, after careful analysis, seems so naïve, but Vettel believes it, and he even sympathizes with Zhang Guan for a while.

"Damn!" Thinking of this, Vettel felt more and more angry, people had deceived him, and he was still sympathetic to them, which made Vettel feel that his IQ had been completely insulted.

"I must overtake him!" Vettel stepped up his full power and quickly approached Zhang Guan.

The road was very slippery, Zhang Guan's tires could not make much movement, he was cautious in and out of the corner, which lost a lot of time, and Vettel used his advantage of the rain tires to quickly chase Zhang Guan's back.

Catching up does not mean being able to overtake, in Formula 1 races, sometimes the difference between the two cars is only a few tenths of a second, but the car behind may not be able to overtake the car in front for several laps, under the current rules, the front defense side has a great advantage, the speed of the two cars is about the same, the level is also about the same, a slight advantage is not enough to quickly complete the overtake.

Because of this, the reforms of Formula 1 in recent years have also been aimed at encouraging overtaking, such as slick tires, such as kinetic energy recovery systems, which have made overtaking easier and weakened the advantage of the defending side.

Sebastian Vettel caught up with Zhang Guan's, but in the corner, he didn't try to overtake, in terms of speed, the Chinese Power's cars did not suffer in the corner, after all, they were equipped with double-layer diffusers, and although Zhang Guan's tires were no longer good, he barely held on to the advantageous route, and did not let Vettel find a chance to overtake.

"It's the straight after Turn 13 in front, and when I get to the straight, I can use the car's wake to overtake him in one sentence!" Vettel thought to himself.

Formula 1 cars have wake, that is, a small vacuum will be formed behind the car running in front, and when the car behind is close to this vacuum area, the drag will be much smaller, which is equivalent to gaining additional power in disguise, which is very common in some other motorsports.

If it is in the straight, this kind of wake is advantageous to the rear car, and the rear car can rely on the wake of the front car to force the close range, and then complete the overtaking. However, in corners, the rear wing of the car in front will raise the airflow upwards, causing the front wing of the car behind to lose downforce, which in turn will reduce the speed of the car behind in cornering.

Red Bull's car is very aerodynamic, so Vettel subconsciously chose to overtake in the straights rather than in the corners.

Zhang Guan turned out of Turn 13 and then began to accelerate, and at the same time, Vettel also caught up with him, and the front nose wing of his car was almost attached to the rear of Zhang Guan's car.

Fourth, fifth, and sixth gears, the tail speed of this big straight can reach 330 kilometers per hour, and for Mercedes-Benz engines, it is this unreasonable straight-line acceleration that is best at.

Zhang Guan's speed is rapidly increasing, but behind Zhang Guan, Vettel's speed is also very fast, and he is taking advantage of Zhang Guan's wake, so to speak, he is gaining extra power.

"Good opportunity, now!" Sebastian turned the steering wheel sharply, deflecting off the right, and the next moment he took advantage of the speed advantage that the wake brought to him, and in an instant he was next to Zhang Guan, and the two cars were almost neck-to-neck.

But Sebastian Vettel wasn't satisfied with that, he had to grab the next corner.

Turn 14 is a super low-speed corner, and the car has to make an almost 180-degree U-turn in this corner, where the original speed of 330 km/h in sixth gear will be reduced to 80 km/h in second gear.

What's more, this is a right turn, as long as Vettel on the right side can smoothly enter the corner first, he can occupy a more powerful line, and with the current tire condition of the two people, once Vettel overtakes Zhang Guan, it will be difficult for Zhang Guan to overtake back.

Sebastian Vettel braked hard and prepared to enter the corner.

Countless water droplets splashed on the goggles of the Vittere helmet at this time, which was the splash of the car in front, and the car in front of it was undoubtedly Zhang Guan.

In this corner, Zhang Guan chose a very late braking point, so he ran in front of Vettel.

"Zhang Guan chooses such a late braking point, he will slide out!" Sebastian Vettel immediately opted for a more conservative approach angle, believing that with Zhang's current tyre condition, the car would inevitably slide off the track, and all he had to do was to avoid getting involved in the accident as much as possible.

Ahead, the red car slid almost sideways onto the track, and the water splashed, blocking Vettel's view in front of him for a moment, but faintly, Vettel could see a red bright spot flashing back and forth.

That's the tail light of the racing car!

Immediately after that, the bright spot gradually became smaller, indicating that the car in front of him had begun to accelerate and gradually moved away from Vettel.

"It was Zhang Guan, he didn't slide off the track, he controlled the car! How did he do it just now? My vision was completely blocked by the rain and I couldn't see clearly. There was a look of wonder in Vettel's eyes.

……

Ahead, Zhang Guan's breathing had become very rapid, and the moment he just turned the corner, almost exhausted all his energy.

"It's over, I'm glad it's over! If it hadn't been for the lack of steer, I would have skipped off the track just now. That's a bit of luck today! At this time, there is only one way to fight luck! Zhang Guan looked at the big straight in front of the main stand, and once again increased the throttle.

However, Vettel used the wake to get in again.

There is still the last lap left in the game, and the struggle between the two has also reached the most critical moment. (To be continued.) )
