On May 10th, the sky was clear and the weather was pleasant, which was very suitable for the competition.
Formula One racing is indeed extremely popular in the European base camp. There are many spectators at the scene, but more spectators do not sit in the fixed stands. They prefer to find a lawn, visit casually, and eat by the way. Some of the food I brought was like a picnic.
For Europeans, watching an F1 race on the weekend is really like going out for a picnic. It is a leisure time with the family. Of course, you need to find a piece of grass to sit down lazily, enjoy the sunshine and breathe in the earth. Fragrance, instead of sitting in the crowded stands, unable to move like a sardine can.
The outdoor temperature is 25 degrees Celsius, but the track temperature has exceeded 40 degrees Celsius. The front row drivers all started with soft tires. This track temperature allows the soft tires to work quickly.
Barrichello, who started third on the grid, was behind Zhang Guan. He used Zhang Guan's wake to overtake Vettel and rush to second place. The unexpected Ferrari Massa, who was fourth, also overtook Vettel. Came to third.
Massa moved up two positions, while Ferrari's other car was even more exaggerated. Raikkonen rose from 16th to 10th.
"It's the kinetic energy recovery system!" Ross Brawn gasped while watching. Judging from Ferrari's starting performance, they have solved the problem of integrating the kinetic energy recovery system with the racing engine. The extra 20 horsepower gave their car the ability to surpass the car in front at the start.
The Circuit de Catalunya has almost the longest straight. Toyota's Trulli braked a little late at the end of the straight and rushed into the buffer zone. However, when he returned to the track, he and Force India's Sutil collided with each other, and at the same time, the two Toro Rosso cars behind him had no time to brake and collided with them. On the first lap of the race, a series of four cars collided. A safety car was deployed for the race.
A look of sadness suddenly appeared on Omi's face. The race had just entered the first corner when a Force India car was eliminated.
He looked at the front and saw that Zhang Guan was still ranked first. With the performance of the China Force racing car and the characteristics of the Catalunya circuit, the possibility of Zhang Guan winning the championship was already very high.
Omi thought of the $500 million bet, and felt extremely regretful. A few months ago, the reason why Na was so confident in proposing a $500 million bet was because he knew that in order to win the championship in F1, it was not enough to just rely on the driver's driving skills. He also needed to have a car that could win the championship. Racing, he decided that Zhang Guan could not own a racing car that was good enough to win the championship.
However, reality slapped Omi ruthlessly in the face. Zhang Guan bought a team that was about to go bankrupt. However, this team that was almost bankrupt swept the entire car world. Even giants like Ferrari McLaren, Nor is it their opponent.
"Zhang Guan has won four consecutive championships and scored a total of 35 points. If he wins this station, it will be 45 points. According to the situation in previous years, if he can get 100 points before the end of the season, he will basically get 100 points. The championship has been locked in. This is just the fifth race. There are still twelve races to come. To get 55 points in the twelve races, you just need to finish in the top five in every race! What should I do? That's 500 million U.S. dollars! If we really lose 500 million U.S. dollars, I'm afraid I won't have a foothold in the family!" Omi's expression became melancholy.
"No, I have to create some trouble for Zhang Guan and distract him! Only in this way can I have a chance to keep the US$500 million!" Omi lowered his head and began to think.
"Instigate a relationship between him and No. 2 driver Barrichello? Let them fight within the team!" This was the first thought that came to Omi's mind.
Two drivers on a team are both teammates and competitors. Especially in some big teams, when two drivers are of equal strength, it is common for their own families to fight. After all, there is only one champion, and falling out with your teammates in front of the champion is something that often happens.
In recent years, both Ferrari and McLaren have experienced internal fighting. Ferrari has Raikkonen and Felipe Massa, and McLaren has Alonso and Hamilton. These drivers are all capable of competing for the championship, and When they get a fast enough car, a fight is inevitable. Ferrari's internal struggle is relatively peaceful. When one driver has a large points lead, the other driver will take the initiative to give up the competition. However, McLaren's internal struggle is much more intense. In the end, Alonso, who was defeated, directly chose to leave the team.
Disrupting the enemy from within is indeed a good method, and this is also the method that Omi first thought of.
At this time, the safety car had run for five laps on the track, and the debris from the traffic jam had been cleared. When the safety car returned to the pit area, the race restarted. Barrichello, who was in second place, clearly knew what his task was. He slowed down his speed and began to block Massa, who was in third place behind him, allowing Zhang Guan to widen the gap as much as possible in front.
This is what the No. 2 driver should do, block other opponents and cover the No. 1 driver to get the best result. What's more, the person running in front is still his boss. There is no doubt that Barrichello will try his best to block the car behind him.
This scene on the track made Omi give up the idea of sowing discord. The method of sowing discord may work in other teams, but it will definitely not work in the Force China team, because Zhang Guan is not only a driver, but also the owner of the team. Even if he lends Barrichello some courage, he would not dare to fight with him. Zhang Guan competes for the championship.
A silver car suddenly slowed down and stopped on the side of the road. It was McLaren's Kovalainen. His opponent's car seemed to have suffered a mechanical failure. This was the third time he had retired from the race this season. .
The camera focused on McLaren's garage at the right time. The maintenance technicians shook their heads and looked very disappointed. At the edge of the camera, a woman's figure came into Omi's eyes. At this time, she was looking at Staring at the track with wide eyes.
"It's Nicole Scherzinger! Hamilton's girlfriend, she is also watching the game in the garage." Omi recognized the other party.
Nicole Scherzinger is Lewis Hamilton's girlfriend and the lead singer of the American group "Pussycat Dolls". She will appear in "Men in Black 3" in the future, playing the woman who robbed the prison at the beginning of the movie.
In F1 races, it is quite common for family members to watch the race in the garage. When the camera is in the garage, the family members of the spectators can often be photographed. Some of the family members have even become familiar faces in the eyes of the media and the audience, such as the horse racing team. Sa's father, Alonso's wife, and Hamilton's "little wildcat" girlfriend.
This is not the first time that Nicole Scherzinger has appeared on camera. She is already a star and many viewers are familiar with her, so when a fashionably dressed woman appears in the garage, even at the edge of the camera, Omi He also recognized her immediately.
"I heard that Scherzenegger is seven or eight years older than Hamilton. Hamilton likes this kind of royal sister style! By the way, many F1 drivers' girlfriends or wives are beauties. Even Zhang Guan's girlfriend is It's Sharapova... By the way, this is already the fifth tournament. How come there is no sign of Sharapova? Didn't the news break out last year that Zhang Guan proposed to Sharapova? It's been so long. I didn't hear anything else..." Omi thought of this, his eyes flashed, and he suddenly had a plan on his mind.
"The factors inside the arena may not be able to interfere with Zhang Guan, but outside the arena, it seems that they can create some trouble for Zhang Guan! Yes, just doing this will definitely distract Zhang Guan." Omi smiled proudly. stand up.
