Zhang Guan was also in a happy mood. After a lap of running-in, the set of super-soft tires he had just put on had begun to slowly show its effect. Although this set of super-soft tires is not wear-resistant, it still has very good grip, so Zhang Guan seemed to be more comfortable in corners. He even started chatting with the team.
"How is Barrichello? Where is he now?" Zhang Guan asked.
"Barrichello has just overtaken Rosberg of the Williams team. He is now in fourth place. As long as he overtakes the BMW Sauber in front, he can get on the podium." The team replied .
"With 10 laps to go, does Barrichello have a chance to reach third place?" Zhang Guan asked next.
"There should be a chance. Vettel's speed has slowly slowed down in the past few laps, probably to protect the tires, and Kubica, who is third, has begun to close to Vettel. Neither of them is fast. Barry Chiello should be able to catch up in the last few laps." The team's strategy engineer paused and then said: "In addition, I want to tell you another news. Ferrari's Massa just drove the car back to the pit area and he retired. .”
"Retired from the race? Why? Was there an accident? There is no yellow light on my steering wheel. Is there no yellow flag?" Zhang Guan then asked.
"It should be a problem with the racing engine, which can't be stopped." The strategic engineer continued: "But Mr. Brown thinks it is a problem with the kinetic energy recovery system. The kinetic energy recovery system is obviously not mature yet, even for Ferrari."
In this race, Ferrari's kinetic energy recovery system did not help them. Instead, it caused their engines to have problems one after another. The kinetic energy recovery systems of other teams were similar, and some even broke down halfway through the race.
At this point in the race, the last pit stop for refueling and tire changes had been completed. The strategy engineer from Force China seemed bored and simply chatted with Zhang Guan.
On lap 53, Kubica, who was third, finally bit Vettel, who was second, and then Kubica launched an attack on Vettel.
Vettel's tires were obviously more worn, but he still relied on his excellent driving skills to defend. Until lap 55, Kubica overtook Vettel from the outside, while Vettel stayed on the inside and refused to give in. The two of them entered the right turn side by side.
Kubica's driving style is also aggressive. He once crashed into a car at a speed of more than 300 kilometers per hour in the Canadian Grand Prix. At that time, the car flipped several times in the air, and only the cockpit was left in the car. This is also the most serious accident in Formula One in recent years. Thanks to modern F1's relatively good protection for drivers, if it were placed ten years ago, he would definitely have died in the same accident.
Kubica dared to risk his life, but Vettel was not afraid either. This is a right-hand corner, and Vettel occupies the inner lane, so it stands to reason that Kubica should give way to Vettel. Vettel thought so too, so he didn't slow down, but what he didn't expect was that Kubica didn't give in at all. The BMW Sauber car directly hit the Red Bull's front suspension, and Vettel could no longer continue the race. And Kubica was not much better. After the crash, he lost control of the car and hit the wall directly. A fight broke out, and both sides ended up injured.
Both the second and third place players were eliminated. Barrichello, who was in fourth place, was filled with joy. He rose to the second place. McLaren's Hamilton also became third due to Ferrari's previous retirement and this accident.
The safety car once again walked out of the pits, and the appearance of the safety car at this time meant that the final result of the race was locked. Because overtaking is not allowed after the safety car preliminary race on the track, based on the minimum lap time, the safety car takes up one lap of time, leading the driver takes another lap, and returning to the pits takes another lap time, that is, a safety car is dispatched, which requires at least three laps. Now the race has reached the 55th lap, and there are exactly three laps left before the end of the 58th lap. This is equivalent to letting the race lead under the safety car. The next is over.
In fact, even if there are a few more laps, the result will probably not change. The first place is Zhang Guan, and the second place is Barrichello. Barrichello will definitely not be so blind and surpass his boss at the end of the game. . So at this point the situation was decided and the only thing left was for the drivers to get through the finish line under the safety car.
…
Under the guidance of the safety car, the first two red cars were particularly conspicuous.
"The top two cars are both China Force cars, and they will also finish the race in this order. I think before the race, no one would have thought of this result! A new team actually took the top spot in the opening race. Two, and this is their first game.”
"Among the big teams, Ferrari had no results, and McLaren's Hamilton, who started in 18th place, also made it to the podium. I have to say that McLaren's strategy was very successful. But compared to the Chinese power, The shock that a new team brings to us, and the 18th place on the grid to get on the podium, is really not worth mentioning."
"Crossed the finish line and finished the race! Zhang Guan won the first place! Another race champion was born in the Formula One race. Moreover, this was Zhang Guan's first race, and it was also his first time participating in a racing car. Competition, Zhang Guan won the race championship in the first Formula One race, and Zhang Guan created another history. Prior to this, the best result achieved by a driver in his first Formula One race was the third place in the race. That was set by Lewis Hamilton several years ago. Today, Zhang Guan has broken this result! First place in the race is already the best result, and it is impossible for anyone to do better in the future!"
"Zhang Guan is indeed the best athlete in the world. He was born to be a champion. He has challenged the limits of the human body countless times. He is the fastest man in the world, and today, he is Once again challenging the limits of racing, he won his first championship in the fastest sport on land!"
"Force China not only won the drivers' championship in this battle, but also won the constructors' championship. An independent team won the top two in a race. This has not happened for many years. Is it possible that the giant Ferrari Is the era of dominating Formula One coming to an end? Maybe this year’s Formula One race will usher in a new reshuffle!”
…
On the podium, Zhang Guan stood in the center. He took off his hat and the national anthem sounded in his ears.
Then he opened the champagne and sprayed it on his teammate Barrichello, on Ross Brown who was also on stage to receive the award, and on the audience below.
The bubbles in the champagne bottle finally disappeared, and more than half of the large bottle of champagne had been sprayed out.
Zhang Guan raised the bottle and took a few big gulps.
"How does the champagne taste?" Ross Brown's voice sounded from the side.
"I didn't taste it." Zhang Guan raised the champagne bottle, waved to the audience, and continued: "I think it's sweet! At least it's sweet in my heart."
