"This is Zhang Guan's home court. Now all the audience's attention is focused on Zhang Guan, and soon they will find that Zhang Guan is just a timid coward. He only deserves to be my supporting role. !" There was a hint of ferocity in Nakajima Kazuki's expression. Being able to block the champions of the first two races behind him made Nakajima Kazuki feel a sense of joy and relief in his heart.
Behind Nakajima Kazuki, Zhang Guan also clearly felt that Nakajima Kazuki's defensive line was becoming more and more exaggerated.
"At the next corner, we can launch an attack!" Zhang Guan thought of this and quickly turned the car to the inside.
The next corner is Turn 11, which is a low-speed corner. The car has to quickly drop from sixth gear to second gear to enter the turn, but then Turn 12 is a high-speed corner in the opposite direction, and it is also an uphill high-speed. Turn 13 is followed by a downhill high-speed turn. After turning 13, the driver will face the longest straight on the track, and the tail speed can reach 330 kilometers. This also requires that the driver must have a relatively good speed when exiting Turn 13, otherwise he will be overtaken by his opponent in the corner.
For the driver, this seems to be a series of technical moves, slowing down to enter Turn 11, accelerating into Turn 12, then accelerating into Turn 13, and then accelerating at full speed for a sprint on the straight. As long as one of the first few steps is If you don't do it well, the final exit speed will be too low, and you will be overtaken on the straight road.
Faced with this series of technical moves and on a rainy day, the driver must remain calm. But what Kazuki Nakajima lacks most now is calmness. He must fully express his "fearless bushido spirit." So when he saw Zhang Guan turning to the inside, he immediately moved closer to the inside to prevent Zhang Guan from entering the corner first.
Zhang Guan had no choice but to enter Turn 11 from the outside. Kazuki Nakajima successfully prevented Zhang Guan from occupying a favorable terrain, but the next Turn 12 was a reverse turn. Zhang Guan, who was originally on the outside, became inside. , while Kazuki Nakajima on the inside became outside.
Faced with this situation, Nakajima Kazuki turned the steering wheel violently. He wanted to block Zhang Guan's turning route, and he wanted to show his bravery.
"This coward Zhang Guan will definitely get out of the way. He doesn't dare to confront me head-on!" Nakajima Kazuki thought to himself.
But Kazuki Nakajima forgot that this was a high-speed corner, and it still had a downhill slope. The car was constantly accelerating in this corner. Turning the steering wheel hard at this time meant sideslip.
The next moment, Nakajima Kazuki felt this. He eagerly wanted to correct the direction, but during acceleration, the right front tire of his car quickly locked up. At this time, there was no point in correcting the direction. Not only did his car slide sideways, When we reached the buffer zone on one side, we made a 180-degree U-turn.
On the thirteenth lap, Zhang Guan surpassed Kazuki Nakajima and continued to chase forward.
On the fourteenth lap, there was a slight collision between BMW Sauber's Heidfeld and Toyota's Glock, which slowed down the two cars. Zhang Guan took this opportunity to close in on the two, and then only spent the third lap. After passing the two injured cars, Zhang Guan was already in the twelfth position, with 39 laps left before the end of the race.
It seemed like there was still a lot of time, but Vettel, who was in the lead, had already opened up a relatively large gap. When the second-placed Webber came into the pits, Barrichello came to second place, and the gap between him and Vettel was already close. At 20 seconds, the Red Bull Racing RB5 did have a very strong performance on this track.
At the same time, it became difficult for Zhang Guan to continue to overtake. In front of him were Kubica of the BMW Sauber team and Raikkonen of the Ferrari team. Both of them are very difficult guys, and both Or start the race with light oil.
The cars at the bottom generally use the heavy-fuel strategy, so it is relatively easy for Zhang Guan to overtake him. However, the cars at the top basically use the light-fuel strategy, and their cars are better than cars filled with gasoline for the entire journey. Zhang Guan is much lighter, so if Zhang Guan wants to repeat the transcendence just now, it will be impossible in a short time.
…
"The race has now reached the 17th lap. Zhang Guan has moved from 20th to 12th place, and some drivers with light fuel loads have begun to prepare for their first pit stop. Maybe Zhang Guan can take advantage of this There’s a chance to overtake a few more cars,” the commentator said.
"I think Zhang Guan is very good at being able to do this. Although this is the seventeenth lap, don't forget that the first eight laps were all conducted under the guidance of the safety car. Under the leadership of the safety car, the car was Overtaking is not allowed, which means Zhang Guan only has nine laps to complete these overtakings. In nine laps, from 20th to 12th, Zhang Guan was able to overtake eight people. This is almost equivalent to overtaking one person in one lap. !" Another commentator exclaimed in admiration.
The strategic engineers of other teams have also noticed this. Almost one-third of the race has gone on, and the first eight laps were conducted under the guidance of the safety car. Zhang Guan reached the twelfth position so quickly. It's surprising indeed.
"Zhang Guan's ranking has risen so quickly. This overtaking ability is comparable to McLaren's Hamilton." Someone said.
"Yeah, I really didn't expect that other than Hamilton, there would be someone with such a strong overtaking ability, basically overtaking one person in one lap!"
"I wonder who is better at overtaking between Zhang Guan and Hamilton?"
Among the current active racing drivers, Hamilton is definitely the best at overtaking. Hamilton has many times started at the bottom of the grid and ended up on the podium. Of course, this is mainly related to Hamilton's driving style. Hamilton has a relatively extreme driving style. He uses a lot of accelerator and brakes on straights, and takes up more road shoulders in corners. The result of this style is tire wear. Too fast.
In the Force India team, Omi curled his lips in disdain.
"Isn't it amazing to go from 20th to 12th? In fact, there were not many cars that really overtook them! I saw several people who made complete mistakes and ran off the track. It was just their luck!"
…
Force China Racing Team, Ross Brawn looked at the broadcast camera and couldn't help but talk to himself.
"It's like, it's so similar, it's really like it! This kind of overtaking is so much like Schumacher's overtaking! It's exactly the same. Constantly approaching the opponent, constantly putting pressure on the opponent, but not rushing to eat the opponent in one bite. The moment his opponent made a mistake, he launched a swift and fierce attack like a cheetah. This kind of overtaking not only surpassed the opponent's car, but also destroyed the opponent's confidence!"
Ross Brown looked at the latest rankings. This was almost a record of surpassing one person in one lap. It could be said that it couldn't be more perfect!
"Although Zhang Guan performed very well in these laps, he was still too far away from the car in front. Not to mention Vettel, who was in first place, he was still close to a minute behind the podium. There are 39 laps, and unless a miracle happens, it is impossible to catch up." There was a hint of disappointment in Ross Brown's eyes.
At this time, BMW Sauber Kubica's car lost control at Turn 16 and climbed directly onto the rear of Toyota Team Trulli. The high-speed impact caused the rear wing of the Toyota TF109 to be completely blown away, the car was completely damaged, and the debris was scattered on the ground.
"There was an accident, the race committee showed a yellow flag, and the safety car was about to come out!"
Ross Brown suddenly raised his head and looked at this scene with a surprised look on his face. He knew that once the safety car was deployed, the lagging car could close the gap with the leader, and everyone would return to the state they were in at the start of the race.
"God! A miracle really happened!"
