Chapter 263: Local Battle (7/20)
"The 2009 F1 Malaysian Grand Prix is in contention for Sunday's official race. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoDue to heavy rain interference, the race was stopped after 1 hour and 18 minutes, and only 33 laps were completed. In the end, Zhang Guan of the China Power Racing Team won the championship after the Australian race......"
"The 2009 Formula 1 Malaysia Grand Prix lasted only 1 hour and 15 minutes before it was terminated due to heavy rain. Failing to complete 75% of the total race schedule, all drivers receive half the number of points. In terms of drivers' points, Zhang Guan is currently in the first place with a total of 15 points, while his teammate Barrichello is second with a total of 12 points...... In terms of team points, the China Power Team is far ahead with 27 points! ”
"The Malaysian Grand Prix that has just ended is a series of accidents, the drivers experienced a series of complicated processes of sunny days, rains, sunny days, and rains, and finally the race had to be terminated early due to heavy rain, Zhang Guan of the Chinese Power Team also won the championship, his teammate Barrichello won the second place, and the China Power Team once again swept the top two after the Australian race. I have to say that for a new team, it is indeed a miracle to win the top two in two consecutive races, and what is even more surprising is that Zhang Guan won two consecutive championships! As someone who has never had any experience in motorsports, to be able to do this can really be called unprecedented, unprecedented! ”
"I can confidently say that Zhang Guan's transformation has been successful again. Winning two titles in two consecutive races, Zhang Guan not only showed top driving skills in Australia, but also showed shocking rain fighting strength in Malaysia, which makes us have to admit that Zhang Guan is a real talent. The next stop is the Chinese Grand Prix, which is the home of Zhang Guan and the home of Chinese Power, we look forward to Zhang Guan winning a triple championship, and also looking forward to Chinese Power completing a 'hat trick'! ”
The voice stopped abruptly, the TV screen went black, and Omi held the remote control, and his face was not only angry, but also jealous.
"A hat-trick? Fart! Omi roared, like a badly wounded beast, but at the same time he knew that Zhang Guan had a good chance of winning three consecutive championships.
At present, it seems that the racing car of China Power is indeed too competitive, and Zhang Guan's technology is also the best in the world. With first-class racing and first-class technology, if you are at home, you may be even more unbeatable!
"How's it going with our report on the double diffuser? They have all run two races with a double diffuser, why hasn't the FIA ruled yet! Omi asked his assistant.
The assistant immediately said: "I just received the news that the FIA court will hold an appeal hearing for the diffuser on the 14th. ”
"14th? Almost there! There are so many teams that support our report, and once the double diffuser is found to be illegal, the whole aerodynamics of the car will have to be adjusted, and then I will see how you can win three consecutive championships! Omi was excited again.
……
Diffusers have been a controversial topic since the start of the new season. In terms of rules, retrofitting the diffuser is between violating the rules and not violating the rules, and it can be said that someone has exploited the loopholes in the rules.
There are currently three teams using the new diffuser, namely China Power, Toyota and Williams, and in terms of the results of the first two races, these three teams are indeed much better than the others. The diffuser effect of the Chinese Power team is clearly the best, and they have already won the top two in two consecutive races.
The Force India team filed a complaint with the FIA about the diffuser, followed by a series of hearings, evidence and further hearings...... It's all a process of pulling each other's throats.
In Australia, cars with double-layer diffusers were allowed to race, which made double-layer diffusers considered to be regular, and this was the first time that double-layer diffusers were used in official competitions, so Force India did not hesitate to take the issue of double-layer diffusers to the International Automobile Federation's Court of Appeal.
The Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) apparently did not want to continue the argument and did not have as much time to amuse the teams, so they simply announced that a final appeal hearing would be held on April 14, and the results would be announced on April 15.
The FIA headquarters is in Zurich, Switzerland, so the time they are talking about is of course Swiss time, and when they announce the results, the competitors and cars must have arrived in China to start preparing for the Formula 1 Chinese Grand Prix.
……
Shanghai is the third round of this year's Formula 1 race, and it is also a very special stop for Zhang Guan and the China Power team.
Prior to this, China had never had a Formula 1 team, nor had there ever been a Formula 1 driver, and the appearance of Zhang Guan filled this gap and made many domestic fans really excited.
But it was only the excitement, and the real change came after the end of Australia, when Zhang Guan won the title. Since then, it's not just fans who are excited, but also sports fans in many other sports, and even some people who don't know how to race at all, have started to pay attention to the event. They learn about the sport from the news, from the media, from the internet, and find information about the sport.
No matter what the event, a good result will always attract more attention, and if you win the championship, it is obviously the easiest way to cultivate fans.
After the Malaysian Grand Prix, the domestic ratings have increased exponentially, and when Zhang Guan won two consecutive championships, it attracted crazy reports from all the media, all of which were in preparation for the next Chinese Grand Prix.
A Chinese driver, a Chinese team, winning the championship on Chinese soil, is definitely a perfect script, and it is the script that the home crowd is looking forward to. There is no even need for hype, the Chinese Grand Prix has become the focus of national attention, and its attention has even exceeded that of the NBA Finals.
Tickets for the Chinese Grand Prix were sold out within two hours of going on sale, followed by qualifying tickets, Saturday practice tickets, Friday practice tickets, and the ticketing system was paralyzed...... Although there is the credit of scalpers, it also shows the enthusiasm of domestic fans. You must know that the Shanghai International Circuit can accommodate a full 200,000 people, and even so, it is still difficult to get a ticket.
In the hands of scalpers, the tickets for the main stand have been hyped to sky-high prices, and many entertainment stars have also been involved, even people who don't know how to race at all, they also hope to be able to show their faces on the day of the race, and it is best to mix in the garage, and then be photographed by the camera "inadvertently". And those stars who have been fond of racing cars hope to have a close contact with the Chinese power car.
The media released news about the Chinese Grand Prix every day, and they couldn't interview the drivers and teams who participated in the Formula 1 race, so they rushed to the competition venue, and some simply drove a few laps on it in a civilian car, and then used it to make some news such as "test drive experience".
The topic has been hyped up, and naturally it can't be stopped, and it can be said that since the end of the Olympic Games, there has been no event that has attracted such a sensation as the Chinese Grand Prix.
In anticipation, the teams have also arrived in Shanghai, and the Chinese Grand Prix is about to kick off its mystery...... (To be continued.) )
