Monaco and Morocco are often confused by people. The former is in Europe and is a paradise for rich people, while the latter is in Africa, where many people are still struggling on the poverty line.
Monaco is the second smallest country in the world, second only to the Vatican, with a land area of only 1.98 square kilometers. It is also one of the countries with the highest per capita income in the world. This country mainly relies on gambling, tourism and banking industries, and is one of the few tax havens in Europe.
For many racing drivers, racing in Monaco is actually a return to home, because racing drivers mainly live in Monaco and Switzerland. Monaco has no personal income tax, so for drivers and celebrities who earn a lot of money, living in Monaco can save a lot of money. As for Switzerland, it is popular with racing drivers because there is no "racing driver" in Switzerland's professional registration. This is a profession, so even a person like Schumacher, who has a net worth of more than one billion, can only be registered as "unemployed" in Switzerland, which will also save a lot of tax.
Morocco is so small that drivers who have made their home here can walk to the racing track. After the game, they go home for a walk, and then have a nice meal with their wife and children. Therefore, this race is very pleasant for drivers who live locally.
The Monte Carlo circuit in Morocco, known as the "Crown Jewel", is the shortest track in F1 and the narrowest track. Before Singapore, Monte Carlo was the only all-street circuit. The entire track has as many as 19 turns and also passes through a tunnel. Because the track is narrow and has many curves, it is very difficult to overtake on this track. Also because the track is narrow and winding, this track has the highest downforce for racing cars among all the tracks.
Currently, the best downforce among all racing cars is obviously the Force China team. Force China has a perfect double-layer diffuser, which can provide more downforce for the car. Therefore, in the predictions of professionals before the game, Force China almost He has been designated as the champion of this game.
The media also unanimously began to hype Zhang Guan's sixth consecutive championship. For this kind of competition where overtaking is not easy, the organizers also hope to create more highlights and attract more spectators, so they also secretly Add fuel to the flames.
…
On the yacht on the beach, Omi leaned on the sofa and looked at the TV in front of him, which was broadcasting the meeting of the team live.
"Have everything been sent?" Omi asked.
"It has been sent to the media. They will probably receive it early tomorrow morning," the assistant said.
"Do it secretly, don't let others know that we did it." Omi then ordered.
"Don't worry, the letter was sent from the UK and contains false addresses," the assistant continued.
Omi nodded: "This is the best, let's just wait and see the good show!"
At this moment, Omi's cell phone rang. He looked down and saw that it was his father, Maria Lao, calling.
"Omi, I was watching the racing news recently, and they were all saying that Zhang Guanhui would win six consecutive championships? Is it true?" Old Maliya asked.
"How is this possible!" Omi said immediately: "It is absolutely impossible for Zhang Guan to win six consecutive championships. He will definitely lose this game."
"Omi, I hope you won't lie. Don't forget that you and Zhang Guan signed a bet worth 500 million US dollars. Now Zhang Guan leads the way in points and becomes the person most likely to win the world championship. Within the family Now you are even more critical of this bet, and your situation is very bad now." Old Maliya said.
There was a solemn expression on Omi's face, but he said quite confidently: "Father, don't worry, the Monte Carlo track is the beginning of Zhang Guan's failure! I already have a way to deal with him. , and it has started to be implemented. As long as you pay attention to the sports news tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, you will definitely see some happy things."
…
In the practice session on Friday morning, Zhang Guan's results were relatively average. After all, it was his first time driving on this track and he was still a little uncomfortable. If you want to run a lap on the Monte Carlo track, you need to change gears at least 54 times. If you run the entire race, you will need more than 4,000 gear changes. This requires a gradual familiarization process for new drivers.
Although Zhang Guan's results were average, Force China's car was still strong. His teammate Barrichello easily took the first place in the practice session, with a lead of as much as 0.3 seconds. Zhang Guan's biggest competitor, Red Bull Racing's Sebastian Vettel, had his car stall during practice. A gearbox failure caused him to quit practice early.
It is worth mentioning that in this race, Red Bull Racing also installed a new version of the double-layer diffuser. This can be regarded as the first appearance of the Red Bull version of the double-layer diffuser.
By Friday afternoon, another car had problems, BMW Sauber's Kubica, and it was also a gearbox problem.
The frequent gear changes on the Monte Carlo track are indeed a big challenge for the racing gearbox.
…
On Saturday morning, Zhang Guan came to the team early in the morning.
The two maintenance technicians were lowering their heads and talking softly. When they saw Zhang Guan, they hurriedly put away a newspaper on their hands, and then said: "Good morning, boss!"
"Good morning! The weather is very good today!" Zhang Guan smiled and walked forward without paying attention to the changes in the expressions of the two maintenance technicians.
The two maintenance technicians looked at me, and I looked at you, and they all showed puzzled expressions.
"The boss seems to be in a good mood! I thought he would be depressed today."
"Is the boss pretending to be like this on purpose? In fact, he is very uncomfortable in his heart..."
"I don't think it's pretending. The boss's expression is very natural. Do you think the boss doesn't know about this at all?"
"Would the boss not know? This is impossible!"
"How is it impossible? Didn't we just find out about it when we read the newspaper? What if the boss hasn't read the news today!"
"I remember that when the hotel provided breakfast, it should have provided this year's newspapers. Maybe the boss didn't read it carefully?"
"But don't forget, this is Monaco! The hotel only provides local Monaco newspapers for breakfast."
"so what?"
"The newspapers in Monaco are French newspapers, and English newspapers cannot be delivered until every afternoon. The boss does not understand French, so he will definitely not pay attention to French newspapers!
