All-round Athlete

Chapter 615 First Show (fourth update)

The first practice session in the morning lasted for 90 minutes, mainly to adapt to the venue. In order not to over-wear the tires, the team often chooses to use a harder set of tires, so the driver's results are relatively average.

After a lapse of 141 days, the cars entered the field again, and all the cars chose to run a warm-up lap before returning to the pit stop. The drivers didn't even run a full timed lap, let alone a time. Obviously, this is to let the car adapt to the track first. After all, this is the first race of the new car, and there are too many aspects of the new car that need to be improved and adjusted.

Of course, some drivers did not come out immediately, such as Alonso, Raikkonen, and Zhang Guan.

At this time, the track appeared to be very clean, and the racing cars were parked in the maintenance room for debugging.

"The track is clean, I'm going to improve my lap time!" Zhang Guan said into the microphone.

"Okay, be safe." Ross Brown's voice came from the earphone.

The maintenance man pushed the car out of the garage, and Zhang Guan rushed out of the pit with an accelerator.

"Red! Power of China! No. 22 driver is Zhang Guan!" Everyone paid attention to him.

The car numbers of Formula 1 cars are sorted according to the ranking of the previous season. When sorting, the two teams of the team will be lined up together. The champion of last season was Lewis Hamilton, so he is the No. 1 driver. His teammate Cole Valainen became the No. 2 driver. Ferrari's Felipe Massa was the runner-up last season and was the No. 3 driver. His teammate Raikkonen is naturally the No. 4 driver, and so on.

Among them, due to the withdrawal of the Honda team, the No. 18 and No. 19 that originally belonged to the Honda team were deducted. That is to say, there are no No. 18 and No. 19 drivers this year.

The China Force team is a new team. Even though Barrichello had 11 points last season, according to the rules, the China Force team can only be ranked at the end of the number. The second driver is number 23.

Some people may have doubts, why do ten teams have an odd number of 23? Because the number "13" is taboo among Europeans, there is no number 13 for the driver, and the number 14 is after the 12th driver.

...

Zhang Guan is out!

Numerous shots were aimed at this red racing car.

"It's Zhang Guan's first time on the field, will he crash?" Someone asked.

"Probably not. The characteristic of the Albert Park circuit is that the buffer space is large enough. Look at the corner, there is such a large lawn, even if you rush out of the track, you will not crash. At most Just run on the lawn! And now he is the only car on the track, even if it crashes, he has no opponent!"

"Look, he rushed out of the maintenance area and reached the first turn!"

"I can definitely pass it. Turn 1 is not difficult, and he has just left the pit stop. There is a speed limit in the pit stop. I can pass this turn 1. The key is to look at Turn 3, which is a right-angle corner. He might run off the runway!"

"Turn 3 is also passed! Turn 4 is also very smooth! Turn 5 is also passed!"

"Hey, don't even mention it, it looks the same, there are some tricks, and it hasn't rushed out of the runway until now!"

"It must be fast. The first few corners are easy, and maybe the next corners will rush out of the track."

Everyone stared at Zhang Guan on the track and witnessed him running all the way down, Turn 12, Turn 13... Zhang Guan passed through Turn 16 smoothly, then sprinted with all his strength, and entered his first timing lap middle.

"Hehe, Zhang Guan is going to do the timing lap! I never thought that Zhang Guan would be the first to run the timing lap today!"

"It is estimated that the performance of the car is not good, I want to run in more!"

"I think it may be because I am afraid that there will be too many cars in a while and I will hit others, so let's run by myself first!"

"It seems that Zhang Guan is really a rookie. He dared to be the first to run the timing lap. Everyone knows that the track at the beginning is not clean, and it will be a big loss to run first!"

The so-called unclean track does not mean that there are large foreign objects on the track, but that there will be small sand particles and some moisture on the track, which will affect the speed of the car. After the car runs for a few laps, the rubber particles worn by the tires will adhere to the track and absorb the fine sand particles. At the same time, the heat generated by the tire friction will also evaporate the water on the track, and the driver will run more comfortably.

Many people looked at Zhang Guan on the track with eyes of jokes, and some even started to bet on when Zhang Guan would rush off the track. As for other teams, the racers who intended to go out were also stopped one after another.

"Don't go out yet, let Zhang Guan run for a while. He is a rookie, and he has never even run a kart, let alone participated in a car race. What if you go out now and get hit by Zhang Guan?" Ah Such a voice came from Long Suo's earphones.

"Lewis, wait a little longer, don't worry, maybe at the next corner, Zhang Guan will rush out of the track! We have to be patient, you have to know, the current track is very dangerous!" Hamilton's earphones said Said.

"What's the difference between a guy who hasn't raced a car and a road killer? I just saw that the safety car and the crane are ready and may be needed soon, Kimi. Let's wait until the others We're all out, let's go again..." Raikkonen received this instruction.

As a result, no one in the other teams flicked their hands, and everyone stayed in the maintenance room honestly, waiting for Zhang Guan, the "road killer", to have an accident.

"Swoosh!" The car flew past the stands, and Zhang Guan's results appeared in front of everyone.

1 minute 29 seconds 353, according to the standard of the first timing of the practice match, this is a fairly satisfactory result.

But Zhang Guan felt more and more. At the moment when he crossed the finish timer, he did not let go of the accelerator, but continued to do the next lap.

"Whoosh!" Zhang Guan completed a lap again, but the rushing off the track and putting on the guardrail that everyone expected did not happen.

"Swoosh!" Zhang Guan ran a time of 1:28.875, breaking the fastest lap time.

Ross Brown, the command center of the China Power Racing Team, looked at the data in front of him, nodded with satisfaction, and said: "The temperature of Zhang Guan's tires has risen, and now the tires can exert maximum grip. It will be even faster.”

"Whoosh!" The roar of the racing engine swept across the front of the maintenance area, and Zhang Guan once again increased his lap time by 0.2 seconds.

At this time, a strange picture appeared. In the maintenance area, all 19 cars were waiting there, and Zhang Guan was alone on the track, constantly refreshing his fastest lap time.

The Albert Park circuit took less than 1 minute and 30 seconds to complete a lap, and Zhang Guan completed more than a dozen laps without knowing it, and he drove faster and faster.

"Crash the car! It will crash sooner or later! It will definitely crash! Just wait and see!" Omi had a terrified expression, but as the circle went down, Omi's face became more dignified. Although he is not a driver, he can already see that Zhang Guan really knows how to drive a Formula One car.

And around, those reporters who were waiting to see the joke were completely silent...

"Can Zhang Guan really know how to drive F1?"

The fourth one is delivered, ask for a guaranteed monthly pass!
