"The greatest miracle in the history of motorsport is born! -- In the Formula One World Championship Italian Grand Prix, which ended yesterday, Zhang Guan of the Chinese Power Racing Team won his tenth race of the season, and with 113 points on the drivers' table, and he has already surpassed the second-placed Barrichello by 49 points, given that there are still four races left in this year's Formula 1 race, Zhang Guan has already secured the championship of the season in advance. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoWe witnessed the birth of the greatest miracle in the world of motor racing, a first-time racing driver, to be more precise, a first-time motorsports participant, won the annual championship of Formula 1, which can really be said to be unprecedented and unprecedented, I believe that only Zhang Guan, a 'veteran miracle worker', can do it! Zhang's photo appeared on the front page of the New York Times again.

The International Automobile Federation congratulated Zhang Guan on winning the championship four races ahead of schedule, and decided to hold an overall championship award ceremony for Zhang Guan after the race in Japan. F1 President Bernie also said in an interview with reporters that he is very grateful to Zhang Guan for his contribution to the promotion of Formula 1 cars around the world, and he even called Zhang Guan a rare racing wizard in the millennium. "Racing Magazine.

"Zhang Guan topped the F1 World Championship, he became the first athlete in China to win the championship in the world's top racing events, from the beginning of the question, to one sub-race champion after another, and then to lock the world championship in four races in advance, Zhang Guan's journey is not dull, let us go back to me to review Zhang Guan's mental journey...... "This is an official newspaper in China, followed by a page of introduction, plus a page of praise.

Winning four races early is not uncommon in Formula 1, but it's just magical for a first-year Formula 1 driver. Never before in history has a racer been able to win the annual championship in his first season in F1, and before that, the best result in a driver's first year in F1 was a runner-up finish in Hamilton.

Hamilton's career started at McLaren, and there are very few people like Hamilton who started their F1 career in a big team, and the big teams need a mature and competitive racing history, and newcomers often start their racing careers in small teams, even if they show extraordinary talent, but lack a competitive car, there is no chance of winning the championship. Even Schumacher started his F1 career with Jordan, and after showing his talent, he was poached by Benetton and started his championship career.

In a way, Zhang Guan was also very lucky, if it weren't for the economic crisis, he wouldn't have had the opportunity to buy a team; If it weren't for Ross Brown, Zhang Guan wouldn't have been able to have a fast enough car. Without a fast enough car, even if Zhang Guan was a combination of Sena and Schumacher, it would not be possible to win the championship of the year.

……

F1 boss Bernie looked in good spirits, and Zhang Guan locked up the annual championship ahead of schedule, which was undoubtedly a boost for Bernie. Bernie has been working on the promotion of F1 for all these years, and he hopes to promote F1 to the world, but last year's economic crisis gave him a blow in the face, and even a big manufacturer team like Honda decided not to play, and F1 almost couldn't even make up ten teams.

Fortunately, Zhang Guan appeared, behind Zhang Guan represents a large market of more than one billion people, even if it can only attract one percent of people to watch Formula 1, it is millions of people, all of whom are on top of many countries in Europe.

Now that Zhang Guan won the championship in advance, it means that he can attract tens of millions of viewers for F1. Bernie even thinks that next year's F1 communication and advertising costs can be greatly increased.

Think about how many people criticized him at the beginning of the year when Bernie gave Zhang Guan a super driver's license, with the media, commentators, and retired racers accusing him of turning the noble F1 into a copper-smelling race. And now, the man who they said was getting the driver's qualification by spending money to go through the back door has become a world champion four races ahead of schedule.

"A few months ago, they all said that Zhang Guan went through the back door, and if he has the ability, let's talk about it now! If I can win the world championship through the back door, I would be willing to open this back door again! Bernie looked at the praise of Zhang Guan in the media, and he felt a sense of pride and puff.

"The economic situation should be much better next year, and it is time for Formula 1 to expand. Perhaps now is a good time to 'make gods'. Thinking of this, Bernie picked up the phone and dialed a number.

……

For any sport to be promoted, "god-making" is indispensable. For example, David Stern created a Michael Jordan, which promoted the NBA to the world, and later Kobe, James, Durant, Curry and other superstars also became the "gods" created in the NBA promotion. People focus on the NBA, starting with a few stars, then then they turn to the teams that the stars are on, and then they focus on the NBA as a whole. Many people can't even name the 30 teams in the NBA, but they definitely know which big names they are. And as long as the NBA can continue to create superstars, it will never decline.

The same is true of football, the football kings Pele and Maradona in the last century, Ronaldo and Beckham at the turn of the century, and then Ronaldo and Messi later, one superstar after another alternately passed the banner of "God" and drove people to pay attention to this sport.

After all, football and basketball are the most widely watched sports in the world, and some slightly smaller sports, the creation of gods is even more important, Federer made many people obsessed with tennis, O'Sullivan made many people start to pay attention to billiards, before Bolt appeared, many people may not have even seen the 100-meter dash, if there is no Liu Feiren, there must be many people in China who do not know the 110-meter hurdles project.

F1 races have been god-making many times, and the body Senna was once the focus of countless media attention, but unfortunately died young; And it's through Schumacher that more people realize the joy of Formula 1. Since Schumacher's retirement, it is an indisputable fact that F1 has greatly decreased in popularity, so Bernie needs a new god early on to attract more attention and better promote F1.

Bernie originally selected defending champion Hamilton, who hoped to make Hamilton another Schumacher, but Hamilton's self was not competitive, and many people, including the drivers, questioned Hamilton's character, and people with questionable character were obviously not suitable for being used to create gods.

With Zhang Guan out of nowhere, Bernie has clearly found another great target. In comparison, Zhang Guan's popularity is higher, his image is better, and his story of winning the championship is more magical, making Zhang Guan a "new god" long ago, which is obviously more beneficial to the promotion of F1.

Under Bernie's promotion, in the next few days, Zhang Guan's name continued to appear in major European media.

……

At the same time that Zhang Guan won the annual championship, the China Power Team had already locked in the annual team championship in advance.

The annual championship of Formula 1 has always been monopolized by the big teams, if not the manufacturer team like Ferrari, it is also a team that has been mixed in F1 for many years, and the new team may need to go through a year or two of experience before it can reach the podium, and it will take years or even more than ten years of accumulation to have a chance to get the chance to win the annual constructors' championship.

There is no doubt that the victory of Power China has created another miracle, as a new team has won the Constructors' Championship in its first year in Formula 1, which is unique in the history of Formula 1.

Last year's Honda team was a weak chicken in F1, Honda and Indian Power did not score a point, and Honda was worse than Indian Power, because Indian Power also participated in the 2009 season, and Honda team directly couldn't play.

No one could have predicted that the weakest team in F1 last year would become the strongest team in one fell swoop after being bought by Zhang Guan and changing its name, a result that surprised many people, and many people laughed at Honda's decision, saying that they let go of a hen that laid eggs.

And some people began to analyze in a boring way, and in the course of a year, the weak chicken Honda team became the strongest Chinese power, what happened during the period. When Zhang Guan bought the Honda team, he left behind the original team of the European headquarters, and the designers, engineers and technicians did not change, the only thing that changed was that the driver changed from Button to Zhang Guan. But just look at Barrichello's world No. 2 result to see that even without a change of drivers, the Chinese power will still be the top team.

However, the Chinese power team uses Mercedes-Benz engines. Prior to this, the Honda team was a manufacturer team that used Honda's own racing engines. The same set of people, after changing the engine, became stronger, so some analysts after analysis believe that the Honda engine is much worse than the Mercedes-Benz engine.

The engine is the heart of the car, and if a car manufacturer doesn't make a good engine, it should never expect to build a good car, so this has also caused consumers to question Honda cars.

Honda once again carried the black pot, in fact, the engine of the F1 car and the engine of the ordinary civilian car can be said to be two completely different things, compared to the ordinary civilian car, the F1 car is too high to attain. This is like comparing fried shredded potatoes with Buddha jumping over the wall, a chef will not do Buddha jumping over the wall, but he will definitely make shredded potatoes and shredded potatoes, and let a chef who does a good job of making Buddha jumping over the wall to fry shredded potatoes may not be better than takeout.

In fact, when it comes to F1 manufacturers, they are not very surprised at the manufacturing level, and high-tech is a thing that is more difficult to open up the gap when it reaches the top of the pyramid. Take one step and you'll catch up with him, and take two steps and you'll overtake him.

On the plane to Singapore, Ross Brown looked very happy with a report in his hand.

"What are you laughing at?" Zhang Guan asked.

"Zhang, you know what, we're making money!" Ross Brown spoke.

"Make money? I do not quite understand. Zhang Guan asked inexplicably.

"We won the Constructors' Championship this year, so there's an extra bonus." Ross Brown spoke.

"Bonus? Who gave it? Zhang Guan then asked.

"It's the salary that is responsible for running Formula 1, it seems that you don't know it yet, the teams that participate in F1 will get some bonuses every year, and this bonus is, of course, the higher the ranking, the higher the give, and the big teams have some other shares." Ross Brown explained.

"How many can there be? How much can we earn? Zhang Guan is still more concerned about the specific figures.

"I've done the math and I should get at least £60 million." Ross Brown said, pointing to the paper in his hand.

"£60 million? So much! That's more than the operating expenses of some small fleets. Zhang Guan said.

"Formula 1 cars make billions of dollars in revenue every year, and Bernie's old guy as president can get tens of millions of dollars a year. A portion of the revenue will be awarded to the team as a bonus. For many small teams, this bonus is actually the main source of their income, almost offsetting their operating expenses, and even making money if they do better. Ross Brown thought for a moment and continued: "For example, Honda's prize money last year was £20 million, which would have been ours, but Bernie's stingy guy said that because the Honda team had changed hands, he couldn't enjoy the £20 million. ”

"I remember Team Honda was last year, right? Can you get 20 million for the penultimate one? The company that runs F1 is really generous. Zhang Guan sighed, to be honest, he was taken aback by this number, because in Zhang Guan's cognition, it has always been the top few who have money, and he has never heard of a sport that is the first from the bottom and can get a huge bonus.

"Team Honda is a manufacturer's team, so as long as they compete, they will have a fixed manufacturer's team bonus." Ross Brown explained.

"Then we should take the most, right? We're not a manufacturer team, but we're number one. Zhang Guan then asked.

"I'm sorry, we didn't take the most money, Ferrari is the one with the most bonuses, and McLaren may have more than us." Ross Brown continued.

"Because they're a manufacturer team?" Zhang Guan asked.

"It's not just the manufacturer's team, as a veteran team in F1, they get a share of the F1 revenue, I remember Ferrari gets 5% of F1 revenue a year, McLaren is a little less than Ferrari. Combined with the constructors' prize money, Ferrari always makes more than $100 million a year from Formula 1. Another example is the Williams team, although it is not a manufacturer team, but because it is a veteran team, they will also enjoy an additional revenue share, which is obtained as long as they participate in the competition. Ross Brown began.

Zhang Guan nodded suddenly, the commercialization of the sports industry in China is nothing compared to F1, F1 is really everyone has meat to eat, and China is more like a pit sponsor. What naming rights sell for how many billions, how many billions a broadcast right sells, all are astronomical amounts, but in the end it is unknown whose pocket such a large sum of money fell into, anyway, when it comes to hiring a coach, this astronomical figure is all gone, and the club only hears such a number but does not see real money.
