"The weather forecast says there will be rain tomorrow, so you have to be prepared for a rain war. www.biquge.infoRose-Brown looked at the satellite image on his computer, his brow furrowed, apparently considering a pit stop strategy for tomorrow's race.

"After all, it's Malaysia, it's strange that it doesn't rain, the key is when it starts to rain. If it's raining at the start of the race, it doesn't matter if you start on the wet tyres. The annoying thing was that it rained in the middle of the game, which had a big impact on our strategy. The scariest thing is that it rains twice in a race period, and the drivers have to make frequent pit stops to change tyres. Barrichello began.

Zhang Guan was silent on the side, he had fallen into memory.

Zhang Guan has an impression of the Malaysian Grand Prix, because this time the race was only halfway through the race and was forced to be interrupted due to heavy rain, which is rare in Formula 1 races, and often only happens when it rains heavily.

Generally, light or moderate rain does not affect the car's participation in the race, and sometimes heavy rain can barely run down, unless the rain is really heavy and the driver's view is completely blocked, which will interrupt the race. And this kind of situation may not occur once in a year or two, so once it does, it will inevitably make people's memories fresh.

What made Zhang Guan remember this Malaysian Grand Prix was not only that the race was interrupted due to heavy rain, but also that there was a strange situation of 0.5 points.

According to the rules of Formula 1, if the race is stopped in the middle of the race and the driver has not completed 75% of the race, the points will be calculated according to the position at the first two laps of the race, but the points will be halved; If you exceed 75% of the entire race, you will receive all the points.

In Malaysia, for example, there are 56 laps to run, 75% of the course is 42 laps, and if the drivers have not reached lap 42 by the time the race stops, all drivers will receive half the points. 10 points for 1st place becomes 5 points, 8 points for 2nd place becomes 4 points, and 6 points for 3rd place becomes 3 points. But in fourth place, 5 points become 2.5 points, in 6th place, 3 points become 1.5 points, and in eighth place 1 point becomes 0.5 points. So there's a weird 0.5 points.

If the game is forced to be suspended, it will happen once every two or three years, then the situation of 0.5 points may not occur once in ten years. It is precisely because of this that Zhang Guan will have an impression of this Malaysian competition.

"I remember the race was cancelled because of heavy rain and there was a 0.5 point situation. It looks like tomorrow's game is really going to rain in the rain. ”

Toyota Fleet.

"With Sebastian Vettel and Barrichello both penalized, we will start second and third tomorrow! But the head office in Japan just called, and they want us not to be satisfied with this and to compete for the championship! Technical Director Gascoigne began.

"Mr. Director, I'm afraid it's hard to compete for the first place. In terms of speed, we are indeed inferior to the Chinese Power team. We improved the diffuser, and the Chinese Power improved the diffuser, and although we didn't suffer too much in the high-speed corners, on the straights, our engine was inferior to the Chinese Power. Mercedes-Benz's engine is up to speed on the track, not inferior to Ferrari. Driver Trulli spoke.

"I understand what you said, it's true that the overall performance of our cars is not as good as China's, but don't forget, this is Malaysia, and I've received the latest weather forecast, there will be rain tomorrow, you know what that means?" Gascoigne asked.

"Rain fight?" Trulli replied.

"Yes, Rain War!" Gascoigne looked excited: "I don't deny that Zhang Guan has first-class racing skills, but after all, he is only a new driver, and he must not be good at rain fighting!" And that's our chance. We just have to follow Zhang Guan, wait for the rain, wait for him to make a mistake, so that we have a chance to get first! ”

If Formula 1 is a game for the brave, then the rain battle for Formula 1 is a test of the wisdom and experience of a group of brave men.

In the rain, drivers need better driving skills, more accurate on-the-spot judgments, and more incomparable racing experience, all of which are indispensable. For a new driver, driving skills can be compensated for by talent, on-the-spot judgment can also rely on luck, but competition experience requires the accumulation of time.

Because of this, it is an indisputable fact that new drivers are not good at rain fighting. As a new driver who has just started to participate in motor racing, Zhang Guan is of course also considered to be bad at rain fighting.

At Red Bull Racing, Sebastian Vettel was also given high hopes.

"If it rains, I'll be able to get on the podium and even win the championship! I'm a little worried that it won't rain tomorrow! Vettel had a confident expression.

Sebastian Vettel is well known for his ability to win in the rain, and his first Formula 1 race victory was won in the rain. Because of this, he is extremely confident in the rain battle.

Some of the teams and drivers who started later on the grid were expecting rain tomorrow, and they were already far back on the grid, so they would have expected the rain to turn around.

On the afternoon of April 5, the 2009 Formula 1 Malaysian Grand Prix entered the competition for Sunday's official race.

The weather forecast called for rain today, and in fact it was, with a heavy rain falling around the Sepang circuit around around 10am local time.

The game started at 2 p.m., four hours after the heavy rain not so long ago. Four hours is enough time for the water to evaporate from the track in Malaysia, but there are still parts of the track that are slippery.

"I have good news and bad news, which do you listen to first?" An engineer asked Zhang Guan.

"Let's talk about the good news first!" Zhang Guan said.

"The good news is that due to the rain a few hours ago, the room temperature is now 30 degrees Celsius, which is already a very comfortable temperature for the Malaysian Grand Prix. I remember a few years ago, when the Malaysian leg was still held in the summer, it was often possible to reach 40 degrees Celsius at 2 p.m. The engineer spoke.

"And what about the bad news?" Zhang Guan then asked.

"The bad news is that the news of the tournament was just released, and it rained half an hour later." The engineer spoke.

Zhang Guan looked at the sky, and it was already dark clouds in the distance, and rain seemed to be inevitable, and it seemed that the rain was not small, but it was just to see when the rain would fall.

"The warm-up ring is about to start, good luck!" The engineer patted Zhang Guan on the shoulder and stepped aside. (To be continued.) )
