"It was really a whole race without pee, Schumacher and Zhang Guan fought from the beginning of the race to the end of the race, the two contributed a wonderful offensive and defensive battle, and in the end the king of the car was still not able to complete the overtaking of Zhang Guan, Zhang Guan crossed the finish line with a lead of 1.8 seconds, 1.8 seconds is not even a gap in other tracks, but in the high-speed track of Spa Spa, it is really difficult to open up much distance between the drivers. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info but in the post-race press conference, Zhang Guan did not consider himself the winner, and the car king Schumacher praised Zhang Guan's performance in the race. - Racing Magazine.

At the press conference after the Belgian Grand Prix, three men in red racing suits sat on the podium, and at first glance it seemed that all three were from the same team.

"Zhang Guan, congratulations on your victory in the Belgian Grand Prix, this is your ninth race win this year, and you beat Schumacher in today's race, do you have any special thoughts that you would like to share with everyone?" A local reporter was the first to ask.

"It's an honour to fight Schumacher, but I don't think I won this fight, I was a draw with Schumacher at best. I was in a defensive position during the game, as you all know, it's easier to defend than to attack, and if it had been me attacking and Schumacher defending, I might have been far behind him. Zhang Guan replied with a smile.

Schumacher's fans were clearly very happy with the answer given by Zhang. Motorsport is different from other sports, in the eyes of many people, racing drivers are more gentlemanly than athletes in other sports, and it seems that it has become the unspoken rule of the sport to praise each other after the race, and sometimes two people will not blame each other even if they have a grudge. This is different from boxing, where the fighters are always fighting each other before and after the fight, as if they were poured gunpowder.

……

With the end of the Belgian Grand Prix, Zhang Guan stood firmly at the top of the standings with 103 points, and compared with the points of other drivers, the media have played the banner that Zhang Guan has won this year's championship in advance.

There are five races left in this year's Formula 1 race, which means drivers can earn up to 50 points. The current second place is Zhang Guan's teammate Barrichello, who has 58 points, and he is also the only driver who is theoretically possible to surpass Zhang Guan in the total points, but as the No. 2 driver of the China Power Team, Barrichello will not overtake Zhang Guan even if he forcibly retires.

Third-placed Vettel currently has 51 points, and even if Vettel wins all the last five games, Vettel's points will only reach 101 points, and even if Zhang Guan does not score a point in the last five games, he will still have two points more than Vettel. Therefore, it is impossible for Vettel to surpass Zhang Guan in the total points.

Sebastian Vettel in third place is unlikely to overtake Zhang, and the drivers behind him are certainly even more unlikely, so Zhang Guan has actually won this year's F1 championship five races ahead of schedule.

The championship has lost its suspense, but the attention of the Formula 1 race has greatly increased, Schumacher's comeback is one reason, and the contest between Schumacher and Zhang Guan is another reason, especially the huge Chinese audience, which brings unlimited business opportunities to Formula 1.

……

On September 11th, a special day, the United States held various commemorative events, and on the other side of the Atlantic, at the Monza circuit in Italy, the F1 Italian Grand Prix also began Friday's practice session.

Monza is one of the fastest tracks in F1, and this kind of high-speed track is also a very dangerous track, not because racing accidents will occur more often, but because once an accident occurs, there will be a high probability of casualties.

For example, the bad weather at the Sepang circuit in Malaysia, where accidents occur almost every year, but it is unlikely that there will be fatalities, so that kind of track is not considered dangerous, and the first thing to consider when designing a new track after the 21st century is safety. Only those old circuits in Europe, almost every one of them will carry the life of the driver.

Formula 1 races are becoming more and more safety-oriented, and after the misfortune of Senna, no F1 driver has been killed in a racing accident, and the worst one is the Paralympic champion mentioned earlier, who lost both legs. Around 2000, Schumacher's broken leg was considered a very serious accident. But in Monza, even in the 21st century, there are still people who die in accidents. In 2000, a five-car collision killed a track crew member who was hit by debris from a car.

Ferrari is an Italian brand, and the Circuit de Monza is clearly the home of Ferrari, with Ferrari accounting for 40% of the previous championships at the Circuit de Monza. And since it is the home of Ferrari, of course, it is also Schumacher's home field, Schumacher drives a red Ferrari and has won the championship here five times, it can be said that the king of this track is still Schumacher.

In fact, in those old European circuits, Schumacher has always been associated with the king of the track, and in modern F1, Schumacher's achievements are indeed unmatched.

For Ferrari, they can give up any race, but they must not give up on Monza, even if their car is bad, they will sacrifice everything to get a podium at Monza. And the fans here are also the craziest in the whole of Europe, when Schumacher won the first time here, the fans even rushed into the track excitedly before the race was over, and the final celebration turned out to be a riot, hundreds of fans were sent to the hospital, and hundreds of fans were sent to the police station. Those fans are not even much better than the football hooligans in the UK, and the fact that they can make fans go crazy like fans is enough to show the influence of Ferrari here. And for fans, the podium is incomplete without a red figure.

Back at Monza, Schumacher was of course aiming to win the title, Ferrari even hoped to secure two places on the podium, but their path forward was not so smooth, and there were always strong rivals and sudden spoilers at Monza to stand in the way of Ferrari's dream of winning the title.

At Monza, McLaren is Ferrari's traditional rival, and McLaren's cars are also very adapted to high-speed tracks, half of the previous victories at Monza have belonged to Ferrari, and the remaining half, two-thirds have belonged to McLaren.

The spoiler will be different every year, and this year's spoiler is obviously Zhang Guan. The ability of the Chinese power car to race at high speeds is not inferior to that of Ferrari, and Zhang Guan is also inseparable from Schumacher, which adds a lot of gunpowder to the race.

The results in practice seemed to bear this out, with Ferrari's traditional rivals taking the lead on Friday morning and McLaren finding the right car set-up, with their two drivers taking the top two spots in practice.

By the afternoon, Ferrari had finally found some sense and Schumacher managed to take first place in Friday afternoon's practice session, but Renault suddenly appeared and Schumacher's old nemesis Alonso finished second.

Saturday morning's practice session belonged to Power China, with Zhang Guan taking the top spot, while the three teams of Ferrari, McLaren and Power China took turns in practice and each took first place in a practice session.

There are only seven corners on the Monza circuit, compared to the twists and turns of other tracks, Monza can almost be said to be in circles, the competition here is speed, as long as the speed is fast enough, overtaking is relatively easy, and the drivers will not open a very large distance between them, in this kind of track, a good starting position is very important, but a suitable strategy is more important, the drivers are desperate for more than a dozen laps on the track to catch up with the gap, through the pit stop strategy can be easily achieved. Because of this, the importance of qualifying at Monza has been diminished a lot.

In qualifying, perhaps due to the lack of championship hopes, Vettel's performance was not ideal, and he finished behind Alonso. Alonso is ahead of Barrichello, who is ahead of Ferrari's Raikkonen and McLaren's Hamilton.

The first place on the grid was Schumacher, who showed great strength to take his first pole position after his comeback. Zhang Guan was only 0.066 seconds behind in second place. Compared to the previous stop, the starting order of the two men happened to be reversed, with Zhang Guan in front and Schumacher in the back, and now Schumacher in front and Zhang Guan in the back.

……

"The Formula 1 Italian Grand Prix is just around the corner and the drivers are starting to warm up the tyres. In the last race, Schumacher was behind Zhang Guan, he was trying to surpass Zhang Guan throughout the game, and today the two of them switched positions, attacking and defending each other, I think Zhang Guan will continue to challenge Schumacher, the battle between Zhang Guan and Schumacher, from Spa to Monza! ”

The narrator looked at the track and continued: "The drivers are ready, and when the five red lights go out, it's time to start!" ”

The audience held their breath, including the commentator, and did not make a sound, they looked at the red lights one by one, and when the fifth red light was lit up in the next second, the five red lights went out at the same time.

"Let's go!" While the commentator shouted, the roaring sound of engines rang out on the track.

The Monza circuit starts on a long straight, followed by Turn 1 and the Tribebone corner, which is also a high-speed corner, which allows the driver to step on the accelerator all the way down and increase the speed to almost 300 km/h. And this moment is also a good opportunity to try to surpass the opponent.

"Zhang Guan, come to Schumacher's side, he wants to surpass Schumacher!"

There was an exclamation from the scene, many people did not expect Zhang Guan to launch his first overtake at the beginning of the race, and everyone's eyes were focused on Turn 1, where everyone might be told the result of Zhang Guan's attack.

The experienced Schumacher held on to his first position and took the lead into the narrow Turn 1, but Zhang Guan's overtake did not end there, because after Turn 1 was a straight, as long as there was excellent cornering speed, he could still overtake Schumacher.

Zhang Guan's cornering speed was maintained very well, but Schumacher's cornering speed was also very good, and after the two turned out of Turn 1, they still walked side by side, one after the other, and Schumacher was ahead of most of the body.

"Zhang Guan robbed very fiercely!" The commentator clenched his fists, and the two of them still did not distinguish the winner from the start to the speed of 300 kilometers.

"Do you want to be faster than me? The second turn ahead is a left turn, and Zhang Guan's position will be more favorable. Schumacher clenched his teeth and didn't slow down.

"It's time for Shumi to brake! Why don't you brake yet? Inside the command centre, Ferrari manager Domenecali was already in a cold sweat, and the data showed that Schumacher was already driving at more than 330 kilometers per kilometer, and if he didn't brake, he would probably have rushed off the track at Turn 2.

Schumacher braked with a big foot, the tyre burst lock caused the car to have a brief translation, and the vibration of walking on the shoulder made the front suspension of the car shake up and down, and Schumacher successfully grabbed a better position out of the corner.

"Nice defense!" Applause rang out from the stands next to Turn 2.

Schumacher's defence allowed Zhang Guan to miss the opportunity, and before the third turn, Zhang Guan had to slow down to let Schumacher pass first. Turn 3, called Rogia, is a very dangerous corner, and it is here that the collision between five cars that killed the course staff took place.

There was a big uphill in front, and the uphill was only a big downhill, and then an uphill and a downhill, which were not conducive to overtaking, and Zhang Guan's attack could only come to an end.

"Whew!" Schumacher let out a sigh of relief, the attack and defense just now made him break out in a cold sweat, if it wasn't for his bold defense, maybe he would really be surpassed by Zhang Guan.

"This overtaking is really fierce enough, and his car is fast enough, if it were someone else, maybe he would really be overtaken by Zhang Guan." It looks like this game can't be taken lightly, otherwise it will really be lost. Schumacher was pondering when the sound of the convoy sounded in his headphones.

"There was an accident, Webber from Red Bull Racing behind you was rear-ended, his car crashed into the protective wall, and the yellow flag was shown on stage two." The strategy engineer reminded.

Schumacher breathed a sigh of relief, overtaking is not allowed on the stage where the yellow flag is shown, and on a circuit like Monza, where the yellow flag is shown on the second stage with the most corners, it basically means that the possibility of technical overtaking is cut off, and in the other two stages, Ferrari is not left behind when it comes to pure speed.

It will also take some time to clean up the debris from the track, which can take four or five laps, and that is when Schumacher will be in a safe position.

On lap six, the track was finally cleared, but Zhang Guan didn't have time to overtake, and on lap nine, BMW driver Kubica's front set wing end plate fell off, and the yellow flag was shown for the second time.

After another three laps, Zhang Guan assessed the situation of his tires and temporarily gave up the attack, and on the seventeenth lap, Zhang Guan took the lead in entering the pit lane to refuel and change tires.

"Shumi, Zhang Guan has just made a pit stop, and now it is certain that he has the same strategy as ours, which is a two-stop strategy." The engineer's voice was abrupt, and he immediately said quickly: "Shumi, run faster, fight for a pit stop window, you must come back for the next lap, repeat, come back for the next lap." ”

"I should have three more laps on my fuel and I can make it to lap 19." Schumacher replied.

"Zhang Guan has a new set of soft tyres, and once his soft tyres are working, the speed will be a big boost, so you have to come back, we have to get a new soft tyre, and we also need a short pit stop to get you ahead of him." The fleet engineer spoke.

"I see!" Schumacher sighed softly: "It looks like the second game between us has just begun!" (To be continued.) )
