As the race came to lap 35, it was getting closer and closer to the car's second pit stop, and all eyes were on Zhang Guan as they waited for him to retire. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

However, at this moment, McLaren's Kovalainen and Toro Rosso collided, and McLaren's rear diffuser and left rear wheel were damaged, while Toro Rosso car's front wing was broken and debris was scattered all over the ground. This time, both cars suffered damage to their main frame structures that could not be repaired in a short period of time, so they both had to retire.

And Zhang Guan, who should have retired dozens of laps ago, still persevered on the track, and ran very well.

As the driver's second pit stop approached, Red Bull second-placed Sebastian Vettel was a little anxious, asking about the gap between himself and Zhang Guan lap by lap, but the results he got on each lap were not satisfactory to him.

Sebastian originally thought that Zhang Guan only had five gears, and the speed would inevitably be reduced a lot, but after each lap, although Sebastian was faster, it was only a little faster.

Sebastian Vettel can be about 0.2 seconds to 0.3 seconds faster in one lap, and almost every four laps, he can catch up with Zhang Guan's time by one second, but this speed is obviously far from Vettel's requirements.

On the first pit stop, Zhang Guan was more than 10 seconds ahead of Vettel, and according to the four laps of one second, Vettel needed 40 laps to catch Zhang Guan.

"Didn't Zhang Guan mean that there was one fifth gear left? Why is his speed still so good? He only ran in a five-stop, and I chased it so hard! Looking ahead, Zhang Guan in the distance made a turn and disappeared from his sight again.

"He only has five gears to use, but I can't catch up with him!" Vettel was a little uneasy.

……

Scuderia Ferrari.

"It's already the 40th lap, Zhang Guan only used a fifth gear, and he lasted for 20 laps on the track, and it is not impossible to continue like this, and insist on running the last 12 laps. I don't know how he did it, but it was a surprise that the car didn't turn off so many times after a low-speed corner. Ferrari principal Domenecali spoke.

"It's the control of the throttle. Zhang Guan never completely released the throttle, he tried to keep the engine in a steady rev, even if it slowed down, but he stepped on the brake while not completely releasing the throttle, although his speed dropped, but the engine still maintained a certain high speed, so that when he accelerated again, the car was not easy to stall. Schumacher next to him said: "Zhang Guan's driving skills are worthy of his seven consecutive championships." I now feel that if anyone can surpass me, I am afraid it is really Zhang Guan. ”

"You have such a high opinion of Zhang Guan?" Domenecali looked a little surprised.

Schumacher nodded: "To be honest, when I see Zhang Guan racing, I have an urge to go back to the racing track!" ”

"Back in the ring?" Domenecali smiled and continued: "Raikkonen's contract is about to expire this year, and if you really want to come back, then I have to prepare a new contract for you." ”

"Hehe, I'm just joking, don't take it seriously." Schumacher laughed as well.

……

On lap 42, Ferrari's Raikkonen took the lead for his second pit stop, followed by his team-mate Massa, while Zhang Guan was preparing for his second pit stop.

"Zhang Guan is going to make a pit stop!" Seeing that the garage of China Power was busy, the maintenance technician ran out with tires, and everyone's eyes were focused on it.

"Zhang Guan's second pit stop, he was still stuck in fifth gear, which means that Zhang Guanyou is going to use fifth gear to start."

"When Zhang Guan made the first pit stop just now, I didn't see clearly how he started in fifth gear, and now I can watch it again."

"I don't know if Zhang Guan can succeed this time? If he fails to start and the car stalls, will he be able to start again? You know, his car is stuck in fifth gear. If you start the engine in five gears, it should stall at such a high speed, right? ”

"Even in fifth gear, you can start the engine by stepping on the clutch. The main function of the clutch in Formula 1 is to use it at the start, and it is not needed to be in gear at ordinary times. ”

Amid the chatter, Zhang Guan drove into the pit area for the second time.

The pit technicians were still fast, setting up the car, changing the tyres and refueling in a total of only 10 seconds.

"Zhang Guan is about to start!" All eyes were on the garage of Chinese power. In the pit area, the engineers and pits of the other teams all walked out of their rooms, looking at the side with their heads out, and the broadcast camera had already cut to this area.

A puff of green smoke came out of the car's exhaust pipe, and Zhang Guan's car looked struggling, and even had some slight slippage in place, but as it shook from side to side, the car still drove onto the track.

"It worked! Zhang Guan succeeded again, and started in five gears again! The narrator shouted.

This time, it was not only the engineers and repairmen of China Power who were breaking down, but even the spectators in the main stands on the opposite side of the track were applauding.

The main stand is often at the starting point, because the main stand will be relatively high, so the spectators in the main stand can not only see the big straight at the end, but also see the situation in the opposite pit lane, some people will be right in front of a certain team's garage, and the movement in the opposite garage can be seen clearly. This is also a perk for the main grandstand spectators, after all, the more money you spend on tickets, of course, you want to get the best viewing experience.

Sebastian Vettel, who was in second place, was also the first to receive the news.

Zhang Guan made a successful pit stop for the second time, and it was another five-gear start. However, his start took 1 second more than usual, after all, it was a five-gear start, and the pressure to control the throttle was very high. That said, we're catching up for another second! We still have a chance. The team's engineer told Vettel.

"Is there still a chance?" Sebastian Vettel asked incredulously: "There are still 10 laps left, and even if I can catch up with him in a short time, it will still be difficult to overtake him, right?" And now Zhang Guan has changed to soft tires, his racing car is already very suitable for soft tires, and he is fast! ”

The team's engineers did not answer, knowing that what Vettel said was the truth, in fact, from the moment Zhang Guan successfully completed the second pit stop, Vettel had no chance.

……

On the last lap, Vettel was already closing in on Zhang Guan, but it was useless, a few more corners were the end, and Vettel had run out of time.

In the distance, the checkered flag was waving, and Zhang Guan activated the kinetic energy recovery system for the last time, and the extra 20 horsepower allowed his car to speed up rapidly.

"Race the finish line! Zhang Guan won! In the case of a gearbox failure, Zhang Guan only used one fifth gear to complete the race, and also won the championship! Unbelievable, unbelievable, I don't think anyone could have imagined that Zhang Guan would win the British Grand Prix in this way! With eight consecutive wins in the season, Zhang Guan surpassed Schumacher's seven consecutive wins in the season, and he made history! After this stop, I can responsibly say that a new car king has been born! (To be continued.) )
