Chapter 257: Master of Rain Battle (1/20)
It's starting to rain. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info This also shows that Ferrari's strategy is correct.
The rain came very quickly, almost in the blink of an eye, the track was wet, and at this time, the cars running on the track had not had time to go back to change the rain tires, and the dry tires ran into the wet, and the cars began to skid incessantly. Even if he was as strong as Alonso, he almost slid off the track.
The pit was busy, changing tires, refueling, the first car had just left, the second car had come in, and the service technicians seemed to be in a hurry. So the cars were switched to heavy rain tires to meet the upcoming rain battle.
"It's raining, here's your chance!"
"Rain War! Zhang Guan must not be good at rain fighting! Just take advantage of this opportunity to catch up. ā
"This is Zhang Guan's first time running in the rain, maybe he will make a mistake!"
The riders behind were in a state of flux.
In second place was Williams' Rosberg, who had played well today, having been in second place since he had passed two Toyotas in quick succession. It's just that the gap between him and Zhang Guan is a bit big, reaching 18.1 seconds.
"How much is the difference between me and Zhang Guan?" Rosberg had just crossed the timing point at the finish line when he asked the team.
"You and Zhang Guan are 18 seconds apart! 18.133 seconds to be exact! "The sound of the convoy came over the radio.
"18 seconds? Well, I'm trying to catch him in fifteen laps! Rothberg began.
Rosberg was born into a racing family, and his father, Koko Rosberg, was a Formula 1 world champion in 1982. In Europe and the United States, many of the drivers from this racing family first learn to drive and then run, and Rosberg, who is only 23 years old this year, grew up on the racing track.
As a German driver, although not as brilliant as his compatriot Sebastian Vettel, Rosberg is definitely first-class in terms of driving skills, and since Schumacher, German drivers have been relatively good at rain battles, and Rosberg has fully inherited this.
Rosberg's Williams car, which also used an improved tail diffuser, was an eye-catcher in the race, which made Rosberg even more ambitious, and he even thought that he might be able to win his first Formula 1 race today.
Rosberg became extremely focused, all his attention was focused on the track, he did every detail carefully, every corner, he was careful, and he didn't dare to take it lightly.
On the big straight at the finish line, Rosberg stepped on the accelerator and relaxed a bit, he was very happy with his performance on the lap, he didn't make any mistakes, and there were a few corners that were perfect.
"I may have chased back two seconds from that lap just now! If you run like this, it won't take you fifteen laps, maybe ten, to catch up with Zhang Guan. Rosberg thought with some excitement, he pressed the radio button, pressed the opening and asked, "How far did I catch up in the last lap?" ā
"Uh......" There was no one answering on the other end of the radio transmission, but a hesitant voice was heard.
"Who's answering the radio on the other side, math is taught by the gym teacher! It takes so much time to count. Rosberg thought to himself, and said at the same time: "Tell me directly, how many seconds are there between me and Zhang Guan!" ā
"Well, just last timed point, the gap between you is 19.041 seconds." Such a reply came over the radio.
"What? How much? Rosberg asked, incredulously.
"19.041 seconds!" This data was repeated again on the radio.
"In the last lap, the gap between us was 18.133 seconds, but now it is 19.041 seconds, how can this be, the gap between me and Zhang Guan has not narrowed, but has widened by 0.9 seconds! How is this possible! Rosberg's heart was like a galloping horse, and the feeling of excitement just now was swept away.
"Could it be that Zhang Guan is a master of rain warfare?"
ā¦ā¦
There are many drivers in Formula 1 who are good at rain fighting, and there is one person, who is given the title of "rain god", is recognized as the strongest in rain fighting.
This person is, of course, Michael Schumacher!
In the 1992 Belgian Grand Prix, Schumacher defeated Senna in the rain to win his first F1 race, and since then, Schumacher has been the "rain god" legend.
Four years later, in Spain, Schumacher rode in the red Ferrari, the Ferrari F310 he was driving at the time was hailed as the worst Ferrari car, but Schumacher still won his first championship since arriving at Ferrari in the rain, and thus began his five-game winning streak.
Schumacher's rain battle can cite countless more classic examples. His career has also been accompanied by countless victories in the rain. For other drivers, the rain battle is a race, but for Schumacher, it is more like walking and dancing in the rain. It can be said that when it comes to the level and experience of rain warfare, no one can compare with Schumacher.
Zhang Guan studied Schumacher's experience book, which also gave him all the experience of the rain battle.
Rosberg is indeed a very good racing driver, and his Williams car is also very competitive in this race, if compared to the average driver, Rosberg has performed well enough on the lap, but compared to Zhang Guan, who has Schumacher's experience, it is really much worse.
The TV broadcaster gave a comparison of the data of the three laps, and Zhang Guan was 0.9 seconds, 1.1 seconds and 0.8 seconds faster than the second-place Rosberg in the last three laps, which can be said to be a crushing statistic. Of course, the speed of the cars in the rain is slower than on the dry ground, and the gap between them seems to be even bigger.
"Looks like Rosberg isn't good at rain fighting!"
"Yes, the three laps are nearly 3 seconds slower than Zhang Guan, and I think there are many cars behind me who are about to catch up!"
As people talked, the screen showed Rosberg and third-placed Barrichello lap by lap.
"0.2 seconds, minus 0.3 seconds, minus 0.1 seconds, Rosberg and Barrichello, the difference between the three laps is only 0.2 seconds, which seems to be a reasonable number!"
"Wait a minute, you look at Zhang Guanchao's slow car action, so skillful!"
"Yes, the slow car didn't have time to give way to the car, and was directly overtaken by Zhang Guan using continuous corners. It can also be so good out of corners in the rain. ā
"The braking point just now was controlled just right, and it only lost a small amount of speed when entering the corner, and the slow car was obviously worried about skidding after braking with a big foot, so the direction was too big, and as a result, it affected the speed of the corner."
The audience who knew how to race began to discuss it from a professional point of view again.
"Wait a minute, I remember someone told me that new riders aren't good at rain fighting!"
"Zhang Guan hasn't even driven a go-kart before, and this is just his second race."
"I met the rain battle in the second game, which is really unlucky!"
"Unlucky? Can't you see that on the whole track, there are a few crowns that are the most handy! He seems to be very comfortable with the rain fight, and he drives better than everyone else! ā
"What the hell is going on? How can a new driver be the strongest person in the rain battle on the track? (To be continued.) )
