All-round Athlete

Chapter 625

Zhang Guan originally started at the first place. In theory, as long as he does not make any mistakes at the start, he can secure the first position. Especially when running through the first corner smoothly, the first position is relatively stable.

Ross Brown breathed a sigh of relief. After all, it was the first time for Zhang Guan to participate in the race, so Ross Brown was very worried about Zhang Guan's start. Now it seems that Zhang Guan's start is smooth, and the route he is taking is also very good. He should hold the first place. There is no problem.

But Ross - Brown soon frowned again, because Barrichello's start error. He started very slowly, and when he entered the first corner, he was overtaken by Red Bull, BMW and Ferrari behind him one after another.

"The gears have obviously slowed down!" Ross Brown shook his head helplessly. Most of these mistakes were caused by inattention. It is a very low-level mistake for a driver.

This is the first race of this year, and even the first race of this new team. Even a veteran like Barrichello felt tremendous pressure and made mistakes that shouldn't have happened.

Ferrari's kinetic energy recovery system really gave them an advantage at the start. The two Ferraris, which were originally ranked seventh and ninth, rushed to the fourth and fifth positions respectively.

The first corner after the start is the most important corner. Most of the accidents at the start happen in this first corner. It is common for cars to collide in order to grab the first corner. Sometimes There was no accident at the first corner of the start, but it became a novelty.

And today, there was an accident at the first bend after the start. Australia's Red Bull Racing's Webber crashed the front splitter, BMW Sauber's Heyfeld stepped on debris and blew out the rear tire, and then hit Force India's Sutil, all of which will be sent back for repairs Station replacement parts. The worst was McLaren's Kovalainen, whose front keel structure was damaged, which made him withdraw directly from the race.

This is only the first corner, and one of the 20 racing cars was eliminated, and there are still a large number of cars in the maintenance station waiting to change the wing, the nose, and the tires...

As the leader, Zhang Guan felt the benefit of being in the first place. In front of him was an empty track without a car, so he could run at his own pace.

In motorsports, it is obviously the happiest thing for a driver to race at his own pace without having to chase the car in front or worry about being disturbed by other cars.

But behind Zhang Guan, there is a person who always wants to attack Zhang Guan, that is Vettel of Red Bull Racing.

Vettel is a German and is also Schumacher's hand-picked successor, and his resume is very similar to Schumacher's. He showed extraordinary racing talent when he was young, and won good results in low-level formula. Results are valued by Formula One teams. They started with small teams, and then entered the big teams through their excellent performance. Then set records one after another, such as the youngest driver to participate in the official race, the youngest driver to gain points, the youngest pole position winner, the youngest race champion, etc., the future Vettel is even more From 2010 to 2013, he won four consecutive championships in Formula One, which is second only to Schumacher's five consecutive championships.

Although Vettel in 2009 has not yet won the world championship, his technology is absolutely top-notch, and the Red Bull RB5 racing car he drives is also the masterpiece of design master Newey, although it does not have a double-layer diffuser or a kinetic energy recovery system , using Renault's engine, but purely relying on excellent aerodynamics, it can become an existence beyond Ferrari.

Now Vettel is behind Zhang Guan, and his goal is obviously to surpass Zhang Guan and be in the first position.

Vettel's driving style is very similar to Schumacher's. He has excellent skills, calmness, sophistication, and proper cornering skills. His overtaking is not the kind of domineering overtaking. He prefers to constantly put pressure on his opponent behind him. Force the opponent to make mistakes, then catch the opponent's mistakes and complete the overtake.

So Vettel at this time is like a wolf hiding in the dark, he has been staring behind Zhang Guan, staring at his prey, trying to deal a fatal blow to Zhang Guan.

"My task now is to constantly put pressure on Zhang Guan and force him to make mistakes. As long as I can catch one of his mistakes, I can surpass the past and get the first place! This is the first level-one competition that Zhang Guan participated in. Formula car race, oh no! It should be said that it is the first car race! He will be very nervous. I seem to be very nervous back then." Vettel couldn't help but think of his first time participating in Formula One That tense situation in a car race.

While Vettel was thinking, he followed closely behind Zhang Guan. At this time, they had entered the third lap, accelerated all the way through the second turn, turned around the third turn, and then passed the slightly larger arc No. 4 Bend, into the short straight again.

"Huh? The distance between us seems to be getting bigger?" Vettel was stunned, and the two cars passed the fifth turn one after another, and then passed the No. 1 speed measuring point.

The subtitles of the broadcast showed the seconds difference between the cars. There was a gap of 1.225 seconds between Zhang Guan and Vettel, which was considered a relatively normal figure on the third lap. With the speed of a Formula 1 car, 1.225 can be regarded as within the range of overtaking, and if the gap is within 1 second, it is considered a relatively good attack range for the rear car.

The three corners 6, 7, and 8 are all high-speed corners, and then the 9th and 10th turns are almost a 100-degree corner, and when you accelerate to the 11th turn, you will encounter the second speed measurement point.

The speed difference between the cars appeared again on the broadcast subtitles, and the gap between Zhang Guan and Vettel became 1.557 seconds.

The car started to accelerate. The four corners 13, 14, 15, and 16 are close to right-angled corners, but they are far away from each other. Basically, they decelerate immediately after a big foot of the accelerator, and then slow down again with a big foot of the accelerator. After passing Turn 16, you can cross the finish line with full throttle. And the end point is the third speed measurement point.

At this time, the gap between Zhang Guan and Vettel became 1.858 seconds.

"Why do I feel that the gap between me and Zhang Guan has widened a lot?" Vettel visually measured the distance from Zhang Guan in front, and he had already noticed this.

In a curve or a short straight, the drivers are less sensitive to the distance between the cars because the cars have to slow down when cornering. You can feel the difference more intuitively.

"Am I going to be much slower than Zhang Guan?" Vettel thought of this, pressed the radio button, and asked into the microphone: "How much slower was I than Zhang Guan in the last lap?"

In Red Bull's command center, Newey hesitated looking at the numbers on the screen, and finally said: "In the last lap, we were slower by more than 1.105 seconds..."

"What? One lap? I'm one second slower than Zhang Guan!" Vetter suddenly exclaimed.
