Chapter 638 Come Fast, Go Fast (220)

The command center of the Chinese power convoy.

"Rosberg, who just finished second, also passed the timing point, and we now have an advantage of 18.133 seconds." The engineer said.

Ross Brown nodded silently, and said: "Pay attention to their lap times on the next lap. I need to know how much slower Zhang Guanyi closed Rosberg. With an advantage of 18.133 seconds, I don't know how many laps I can last. I hope Can last until the end of the heavy rain! If the heavy rain ends sooner, change to dry tires as soon as possible, maybe you can overtake the result."

Like others, Ross Brown also believes that Zhang Guan is not good at rain fighting. A new driver with almost no racing experience, even if he has shown extremely high driving skills, does not mean that he has a strong rain fighting ability.

Rain race and dry race are two completely different race modes, and drivers have different control methods on straight roads and corners. In the rainy battle, when the straight road enters the curve, there will be different braking points, different angles of entry and exit, and sometimes even the gears are different. It may be agreed that in one place, fourth gear should be engaged on dry land, but third gear is enough when it is raining.

What's more important is the Formula One competition. The track of each station is different, each track has its own characteristics, and even the track is changed every year. In this case, experience becomes a particularly important point in rain battles. Sometimes, if you slide out of a certain corner more times, you will naturally know how to corner.

Zhang Guan has no racing experience, this is something Ross Brown knows, so Ross Brown is already mentally prepared that after putting on rain tires, Zhang Guan will be overtaken by other drivers.

After more than a minute, Zhang Guan and Rosberg ran past the finish timing.

"How? How much time is the lap?" Brown asked.

"About 0.9 seconds." The engineer answered a time.

"Ross Brown frowned and calculated: "One lap is 0.9 seconds slower, and we will calculate it according to 1 second. According to this, the 18-second gap can last 18 laps, which can almost last until the next round. stand.

"If it's still raining by then, it looks like we'll have to think of some strategies for pit stops." Ross Brown said to himself.

The engineer next to him seemed to have heard Ross Brown's words. He coughed dryly and reminded: "Mr. Brown, I'm very sorry, I didn't make it clear just now. 0.9 seconds faster, not Rosberg 0.9 seconds faster than Zhang Guan!"

"What did you say? Zhang Guan will be faster than Rosberg? And it's still 0.9 seconds?" Ross Brown's eyes widened in surprise.

"Rosberg slowed us by 18.133 seconds before, but just now when we passed the finish timing again, Rosberg slowed us by 19.041 seconds!" Probably the fastest lap of any driver."

Ross Brown's head short-circuited. Everything in front of him was completely different from what he expected. Instead of being slower than others, Zhang Guan was faster than others. It can be said that he once again gave Brown a big surprise.

"This is not in line with common sense. Zhang Guan has no experience in driving a racing car. Others may have doubts about this, but I can confirm it. He can't be proficient in rain combat!" Ross Brown frowned inexplicably, and then He ordered: "Tune me the live video of the live game."

A few minutes later, Ross-horde was shocked again.

"Beautiful choice, the timing of the brakes is just right, just enough to maintain the speed of entering the corner, and the control of the direction, he still took advantage of the understeer of the car, but just enough to ensure the speed of exiting the corner!"

"Mr. Brown, Zhang Guan seemed to be the fastest again in the lap just now." The engineer next to him said, staring at the screen.

"Zhang Guan is the fastest again! This is already the fifth consecutive lap like this! This kind of strength in the rain fight can be said to have dominated the race! Since Schumacher retired, there are still people who can show in the rain fight Such a strong dominance is unbelievable! It’s unbelievable!" Ross Brown took a long breath and put a satisfied smile on his face.

"It looks like we will really win two consecutive championships!"

...

In the command center of the Ferrari team, Schumacher looked at Zhang Guan on the screen and lost his mind for a while.

"Schumi, Schumi?" Team leader Domenecali called several times before Schumacher came back to his senses.

"What's the matter? Shumi, are you feeling sick? Do you have a cold?" Domenecali asked.

"No, I just think Zhang Guan's driving style is a bit familiar. Watching this game screen is like watching my game replay..." Schumacher replied.

"Hehehe, it seems that the humid weather in Malaysia has really affected you, and it has given you an illusion." Domenecalli smiled, pointing to Zhang Guan who was fooled on the screen and said: "You and his common The only difference is that you are all red cars."

"Oh, it's really like this, it's probably too hot." Schumacher said.

"Schumi, I suggest you go for an iced drink. There are ice creams flown in from Europe in the freezer behind our convoy. The vanilla and strawberry flavors are very good. I suggest you try it." Domeneca Leigh pointed to the garage behind.

"Okay, I'll try it later." Schumacher nodded while looking outside.

"Huh? The rain seems to be getting smaller." Schumacher looked up at the sky, and the dark cloud had become much thinner.

...

The heavy rain in Malaysia came and went quickly. It started to rain on the 20th lap, and by the 27th lap, the heavy rain had basically stopped.

As the track of the Formula One race, the drainage system is absolutely top-notch in the world, and there is basically little water on the track. Moreover, rain tires also have strong drainage performance, and the patterns on them can bring water to the outside.

Cars basically run along a track on the track. Nearly 20 cars pass by in one lap. The heat generated by the friction between the tires and the ground is enough to evaporate the water quickly. So by the 28th lap, it is already clear. I saw two dry marks on the wet road.

The road surface was dry, and the rain tires became a burden instead. Compared with the soft tires, the gap of nearly two seconds per lap was unacceptable to the team. So some teams chose to stop for refueling. They changed the rain tires and put on hard tires.

Although a tire change will lose about 11 or 2 seconds, but after changing to dry tires, one lap can be faster by two seconds, and only need to run six or seven laps, and the time lost by changing tires can be made up. Now there are 28 laps left before the end of the race. With the performance of hard tires, they can definitely last until the end of the race. Therefore, this kind of tire change is tantamount to preparing to run to the end in one go.

This is obviously a very reasonable choice. For the drivers, sooner or later they have to stop to change the set of rain tires. Instead of stopping late, it is better to stop early and change tires. Instead, they will run more with dry tires. , can save a little time wasting.

Zhang Guan, who is the leader, has run to the 29th lap. Behind him, all the cars have chosen to pit to change tires, and the voice of the team's strategy engineer can also be heard in Zhang Guan's earphones.

"The rain has stopped. The heavy rain in Malaysia really comes and goes quickly! You are ready to stop and change tires! Let's put on a set of hard tires, and then prepare to run until the end of the race in one breath." The strategy engineer directed said the intercom.

"Stop? How many laps is it now?" Zhang Guan asked.

"Lap 29. After you leave the station, it will be the thirtieth lap." The strategy engineer replied.

Zhang Guan frowned suddenly.

"No, I shouldn't be in the pit!"
