"The 2009 F1 Malaysian Grand Prix entered the competition for the official race on Sunday. Due to heavy rain, the race was suspended after 1 hour and 18 minutes and only 33 laps were completed. In the end, Zhang Guan of the Force China Team won the championship after the Australian Grand Prix..."

“The 2009 Formula One Malaysian Grand Prix lasted only 1 hour and 15 minutes before it was terminated due to heavy rain. Due to the failure to complete 75% of the total race schedule, the points earned by all drivers were halved. Currently, in terms of driver points, Zhang Crown ranks first with a total score of 15 points, and his teammate Barrichello ranks second with a total score of 12 points... In terms of team points, Force China is far ahead with 27 points!"

“The just-concluded Malaysian Grand Prix was a series of surprises. The drivers experienced a series of complicated processes from sunny days to rainy days to sunny days to raining again. In the end, the race had to be terminated early due to heavy rain. Zhang Guan of Force China Team also Winning the championship again, his teammate Barrichello won the runner-up. After the Australian Grand Prix, the China Force team once again took the top two places. It has to be said that for a new team, it took the top two places for two consecutive races. , is indeed a miracle, and what is even more surprising is that Zhang Guan won two consecutive championships! As a person who has never had any racing experience, he can do this, which can be said to be unprecedented and unprecedented. No one is coming!”

"I can confidently say that Zhang Guan's transformation has been successful again. Winning two championships in two consecutive races, Zhang Guan not only showed top driving skills in the Australian Grand Prix, but also showed impressive performance in the Malaysian Grand Prix. The shocking strength of the rain battle forced us to admit that Zhang Guan is a real genius. The next stop is the Chinese Grand Prix, which is Zhang Guan’s home field and the home field of Force China. We hope that Zhang Guan can win To win three consecutive championships, I also look forward to the Chinese force completing a 'hat trick'!"

The sound suddenly stopped, and the TV screen went black. Omi held the remote control, and the expression on his face was not only anger, but also jealousy.

"Hat trick? Fart!" Omi roared, like a seriously injured beast, but at the same time he also knew that Zhang Guan had a great chance of winning three consecutive championships.

From the current point of view, China Force's racing cars are indeed too competitive, and Zhang Guan's technology is also among the best in the world. First-class racing car and first-class technology, if it is at home, I am afraid it will be unrivaled!

"How did we go about reporting the double-layer diffuser? They have already run two races with the double-layer diffuser. Why hasn't the FIA made a ruling yet?" Omi asked the assistant beside him.

The assistant immediately said: "I just received the news that the FIA court will hold an appeal hearing on the diffuser on the 14th."

"The 14th? It's almost here! So many teams support our report. Once the double-layer diffuser is judged to be illegal, the entire aerodynamics of the car will have to be adjusted. Then I will see how you can win three consecutive championships! "Omi became excited again.

Since the beginning of the new season, diffusers have been a controversial topic. According to the rules, modifying the diffuser is somewhere between a violation and a non-violation. It can be said that someone took advantage of a loophole in the rules.

There are currently three teams using new diffusers, namely Force China, Toyota and Williams. In terms of the results of the first two races, these three teams are indeed much better than other teams. Among them, Force China's diffuser effect is obviously the best. They have won the top two places in two consecutive races.

The Force India team reported the diffuser issue to the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile, which was followed by a series of hearings, evidence, and hearings again... It was a complete process of wrangling each other.

In the Australian Grand Prix, cars with double-layer diffusers were allowed to compete, which made double-layer diffusers considered legal. This was also the first time that double-layer diffusers were used in an official race, so Force India did not hesitate to take the issue of the double diffuser to the International Automobile Federation's Court of Appeal.

The International Automobile Federation obviously did not want to continue wrangling. They did not have so much time to accompany each team to have fun, so they simply announced that a final appeal hearing would be held on April 14, and the result would be announced on April 15. .

The International Automobile Federation is headquartered in Zurich, Switzerland, so the time they are talking about is of course Swiss time. Taking into account the time difference, when they announce the results, the contestants and cars must have arrived in China and started preparing for the Formula One China Grand Prix. The game is over.

The Shanghai Station is the third stop of this year's Formula One race, and it is also a very special stop for Zhang Guan and the China Force Racing Team.

Before this, China had never had a Formula One team or a Formula One racing driver. The emergence of Zhang Guan filled this gap and made many domestic car fans really excited.

But it was just excitement. The real change came after the end of Australia, when Zhang Guan won the championship. Since then, it has not only been exciting for car fans, but also many sports fans from other sports, and even some people who do not understand racing at all, have begun to pay attention to this event. They learn about this sport from the news, the media, and the Internet, and look for information about this sport.

No matter what the competition is, achieving good results will always attract more attention, and winning the championship is obviously the most convenient way to cultivate fans.

The domestic ratings of the subsequent Malaysian Grand Prix have doubled, and when Zhang Guan won two consecutive championships, it attracted crazy reports from all the media. All of this was a warm-up for the next Chinese Grand Prix. .

For a Chinese driver and a Chinese team to win the championship in China, this is absolutely a perfect script, and it is also a script that the home audience is looking forward to. Even without any hype, the Chinese Grand Prix has become the focus of national attention, and its attention has even exceeded that of the NBA Finals.

All the tickets for the Chinese Grand Prix were sold out within two hours of going on sale. Immediately afterwards, the qualifying tickets were sold out, the Saturday practice tickets were sold out, the Friday practice tickets were sold out, and the ticketing system was paralyzed... Although scalpers are responsible for this, It also shows the enthusiasm of domestic car fans. You must know that the Shanghai International Circuit can accommodate a full 200,000 people. Even so, it is still difficult to get a ticket.

In the hands of scalpers, the tickets for the main grandstand have been sold to sky-high prices, and many entertainment stars have also joined in. Even people who don’t know anything about racing want to be able to show up at the scene on the day of the game, and it is best to get into the car. room, and then "inadvertently" caught on camera. And those celebrities who are already in love with racing hope to have close contact with the Power of China racing car.

Various media outlets are publishing news about the Chinese Grand Prix every day. They cannot interview the drivers and teams participating in the Formula One race, so they rush to the competition venue, and some even drive civilian cars on it. A few laps, and then use it to make some news like "test drive experience".

The topic has been hyped up and naturally it cannot be stopped. It can be said that since the end of the Olympic Games, no event has been able to attract such a sensation as the Chinese Grand Prix.

With much anticipation, various teams have arrived in Shanghai one after another, and the Chinese Grand Prix is about to unveil its mysterious veil...
