Chapter 651 Betting Big (1520)

Ross Brown didn't immediately understand what Zhang Guan meant by "filling up the gas". He thought that Zhang Guan was going to use a pit stop strategy, so he said: "In this race, the timing of a pit stop is probably at the first stop. About thirty-five laps, considering that this year's supersoft tires are not very wear-resistant, you can slightly delay the timing of the pit stop, and if you think you can last a few more laps, I can give you more fuel."

"How many laps of oil do you want?" Technical Director Gendel asked from the side.

"Fifty-six laps!" Zhang Guan replied.

"Okay, no problem." Gendel didn't realize the number "56" at first, and he took it as an order from his boss, so he agreed without thinking.

But Ross Brown next to him reacted, and he said: "Are you kidding, there are only fifty-six laps in this race! You have to refuel for fifty-six laps, aren't you going to pit?" ?”

"Yes, I don't want to stop and run all the way to the end." Zhang Guan answered.

"Impossible, that's a foul! We have to use two tires." Ross Brown shook his head and said.

There is no limit to the number of times a driver can pit in a Formula 1 race. If the driver is free, he can enter the pit stop once every lap.

But for each race, the tire provider Princeton will provide two types of dry tires for each team. In the Chinese station, they provide super soft tires and medium tires. The rules require that each car must use them in the race. These two tires. Under this rule, it is impossible to run the entire distance without pit stops, because in order to use two types of tires, the car must change tires once, so there must be at least one pit stop.

As for the capacity of the fuel tank, it is no problem to support the car to run the entire distance. The Formula One car does not look big, but the fuel tank is very large. In 2010, the International Automobile Federation even canceled the refueling during the race, that is, all the cars ran the whole course without refueling, which also shows that the capacity of the fuel tank is sufficient.

I only heard Zhang Guan continue to say: "The rules require that we must use two types of tires, but don't forget that there is another explanation in the rules, that is, except for rainy days."

"Except for rainy days? Are you going to bet on tomorrow's rain fight? You're taking advantage of the rules!" Ross Brown understood instantly.

Princeton provides a total of six types of tires this year, four types of dry tires and two types of rain tires. Each station will provide two different types of dry tires, and there are two fixed types of rain tires, namely full rain tires. tires and semi-wet tires. If it’s raining, for everyone’s safety, racing cars must use rain tires. Of course, those who make the rules will not be rigid enough to force drivers to use two different dry tires in rainy days, so F1’s rules also allow it. There is no need to use two kinds of dry tires in the case of rain.

As for the two kinds of rain tires, there is no rigid requirement to use them all. When the rain is light, use semi-rain tires, and when the rain is heavy, use full rain tires. Each team can choose to use them according to the actual situation and weather conditions. For that kind of rain tires, the rules cannot force the team to run with semi-wet tires even in heavy rain, and that is not safe.

So if it really rains in tomorrow's race, Zhang Guan can start with rain tires, and then run to the finish line without pit stops without worrying about changing tires. This is theoretically feasible, and it can be regarded as It was a loophole.

Ross Brown thought for a few seconds, and finally shook his head: "No, this is only theoretically possible, but it is impossible in practice. We assume that the game will be played in the rain, but if the rain stops halfway through the game, The road is dry and you still have to go back to the pits and put on dry tyres. We can't run dry with wet tyres, the loss of lap time is too great."

"So what I want to bet is that it will rain all the way tomorrow!" Zhang Guan said.

"It will rain throughout the game? This chance is even smaller than the chance of a rain battle. Although the meteorological team has determined that there will be 90% of the possibility of rain tomorrow, but a game lasts for two hours, and the consecutive What's the chance of it raining for two hours? It's too risky to gamble," Ross Brown said.

"I was originally the last one on the grid. Since I want to gamble, of course I have to go all in! If you are on a gambling table and you only have one chip, and you only have one chance, how do you choose?" Zhang Guan Before Ross Brown could speak, he replied self-consciously: "I will choose to bet on the place with the highest odds, even if it is the least likely!"

Ross Brown thought about it carefully, and felt that what Zhang Guan said was quite reasonable. Anyway, they were the last ones to start the grid. Could it be that they still hoped to compete for the first place? Seeking stability for the last place is a meaningless thing at all, it is better to gamble a big one!

But Ross Brown immediately thought of another problem, and he shook his head again: "Impossible, still impossible. Although there is no problem with the capacity of the fuel, the tires can't hold it. 56 laps of the race, the tires Absolutely can't stand it."

"How about we run with heavy rain tires? Heavy rain tires should be the most wear-resistant!" Zhang Guan said immediately.

"That won't last! The limit of heavy rain tires is forty-five laps. Let's assume you can last to fifty laps. What about the last six laps? It is estimated that by the time of fifty laps, the pattern of heavy rain tires will also It has been worn out for a long time, and you are equivalent to running on slick tires, running in the rain with at least six laps on slick tires, how is this possible!" Ross Brown said shaking his head.

"I want to give it a try. If the rain stops in the last six laps, I can just run down!" Zhang Guan said.

"Hehe, there are so many contingencies." Ross Brown felt that Zhang Guan seemed to be looking for a reason, and he comforted: "Zhang, you are already the number one driver, and we are also the number one team. You don’t have to put so much pressure on yourself, and you don’t have to be so persistent. There are still more than a dozen races to come, we still have a long way to go, and you have plenty of time to fight for the championship, including the final world championship!”

Zhang Guan let out a long sigh, and he shook his head slightly, with unshakable firmness in his eyes: "Mr. Brown, you know, this race has an extraordinary meaning to me. My home field, this is the first time for a Chinese driver to compete on the soil of his own country! All I want is the championship, I only want the championship! Except for the championship, other achievements mean failure to me!"

Looking at Zhang Guan's persistent appearance, Ross Brown could fully feel Zhang Guan's will. That is the desire for honor, and it is the oath of a strong man.

Unknowingly, a kind of emotion sprouted in Ross Brown's heart, and it was also an impulse. This impulse made him decide to help Zhang Guan achieve the goal of winning the championship in China.

"Okay, then I'll take a big bet with you!" Ross Brown said.
