Chapter 628 Victory

The two cars of the Ferrari team are gearing up, hoping to use the start time to rush to the front. The extra 80 horsepower provided by their kinetic energy recovery system is very helpful for the start.

Vettel of the Red Bull Racing Team is also eyeing. He just put on a new set of tires, which makes him feel confident. He can continue to put pressure on Zhang Guan in the next few laps without tire wear. question.

Led by the safety car, he ran for four full laps. During these four laps, the car was in the fuel-saving mode, and the wear of the tires was also very light, so both the fuel volume and the tires had to be recalculated.

On lap 23, the dome lights of the safety car went out, which indicated that it would return to the pit lane on the next lap.

"The safety car is going back, and the opportunity is coming! As long as you can use the wake of the car in front in the straight, you may be able to complete the overtaking at the end of the straight." The drivers in the back circle are full of energy, waiting for the next safety car The moment of pit stop.

In the command center of the China Force motorcade, Ross Brown couldn't help showing a look of worry on his face. He was still worried about Zhang Guan.

"This time it's not a static start, but a dynamic start. I don't know if Zhang Guan can handle it. The gear control of a dynamic start is completely different from a static start."

24th lap. There is still a relatively long distance to the entrance of the maintenance station, but Zhang Guan deliberately slowed down the speed of the car, and put some distance between him and the safety car.

As long as the safety car has not returned to the pit lane, all cars on the track cannot overtake. Even if Zhang Guan slows down, some cars behind cannot overtake, and can only slow down accordingly.

There are two major advantages for Zhang Guan to do this. It increases the distance from the safety car, which means that he will have more room to accelerate, and it is easier to control the rhythm. Because Zhang Guan is the lead car, he can choose the acceleration point first when the safety car is about to go back, while the other cars can only wait for Zhang Guan to accelerate before choosing to follow up.

"Zhang Guan is controlling the rhythm, doing a good job!" Rose Brown let out a long breath.

The safety car is getting closer and closer to the pit entrance, but Zhang Guan is getting farther and farther away from the safety car.

Turning around Turn 16, the safety car was already approaching the entrance of the pit stop, but at this time Zhang Guan suddenly started to accelerate.

Zhang Guan was not worried that his acceleration would exceed the safety car. There was already a certain distance between him and the safety car. When he caught up to this distance, the safety car had already run into the pit stop.

Vettel, who was following the car behind, was not stupid. He knew that Zhang Guan would definitely choose the early acceleration strategy, but he could not predict when Zhang Guan would accelerate, and as long as the safety car was still on the track, he could not overtake. In a sense, he is in a passive position.

Vettel focused on Zhang Guan in front of him. When Zhang Guan accelerated, Vettel chose to accelerate immediately. The reaction of the racer was quite fast. On the surface, it seemed that the two were accelerating at the same time.

But Zhang Guan in front of him slowed down again, and at this time the safety car hadn't turned to the entrance of the pit lane.

Vettel had to slow down as well, he could not overtake, otherwise it would be a foul, even if he overtook, he would have to give up his position, and maybe he would have to be punished.

However, at this moment, Zhang Guan stepped on the accelerator again, and this time, Vettel did not react as quickly as before.

"Oops, I fell for it!" Vettel already understood at this time that Zhang Guan's first acceleration just now was just a trick to lure the enemy. Zhang Guan accelerated and then accelerated to force himself to slow down, but Zhang Guan took advantage of this gap Accelerate again.

Vettel's reaction was a second slower than just now, but in such a fast race as Formula One, one second is a big difference. Vettel was left behind by Zhang Guan again.

However, the two cars driven by Ferrari failed to catch up to the front. Whether it was Zhang Guan or Vettel, their speed was fast enough. The Mercedes engine used by the Chinese power team was not inferior to Ferrari on the straight. The excellent aerodynamic design of the Red Bull racing car also made Ferrari less than a little bit cheaper.

They all passed the first corner smoothly, but Renault's Piquet rushed out of the track at Zhangguan corner and fell headlong into the gravel buffer zone.

Temporarily calmed down on the track, the leading Zhang Guan once again opened the distance from the second Vettel, and then started to move forward according to his own rhythm.

...

"It's like this again!" Vettel looked at Zhang Guan in front of him. When he passed here on the last lap, there was not such a big gap between him and Zhang Guan. When he passed the same position again this lap, the distance between them The gap has widened a lot, which is the same as at the beginning of the game.

"You can't catch up, you can't catch up at all! The gap between us has been widened again!" The fire of hope in Vettel's heart was extinguished again. He thought that the appearance of the safety car could help him, but now it seems , the safety car has no effect. Zhang Guan still ran in front.

Vettel's original plan was to constantly put pressure on Zhang Guan during the race, forcing Zhang Guan to make mistakes, but to do this, he must first be able to catch up with Zhang Guan, but now, he once again fell behind in a lap. second situation.

Now it seems that the safety car is not a variable at all, it just slows down the pace of the race.

...

On the 32nd lap, Ferrari's Massa took the lead in the second pit stop to refuel. This pit stop was much slower than people imagined. His last pit stop was on lap 10, which is equivalent to another 22 laps on the track. If it weren't for the safety car leading everyone to run for four laps, it would be impossible for him to persist for so many laps.

Ferrari's pit stop also opened the prelude to the pit stop of a team, and other teams chose to pit one after another.

On the 46th lap, when Zhang Guan led the second place Vettel by nearly 20 seconds, he chose to pit for refueling, and Vettel also chose to pit for refueling on the same lap. At this time, there were 12 laps left before the end of the race, and the team did not hesitate to replace Zhang Guan with supersoft tires.

After Zhang Guan came out of the maintenance area, he still ranked first, but now he is still using supersoft tires, which means that his number one is unshakable.

...

"The first place has been secured." Ross Brown leaned back in his chair with a relieved expression on his face.

For a new team, the first race is really important, and Ross Brown felt extremely gratified to be able to receive the award in the first race, or even win the championship.

At this time, a new incident appeared on the track.

A red Ferrari slowly stopped on the side of the road.

The first chapter is delivered, ask for a guaranteed monthly pass.
