Lap 10 of the race was underway, and the third-placed Ferrari driver Massa had been pulled away by Barrichello for three seconds, but he was able to hold on to the Red Bull Racing behind him with ease, and the performance of the upgraded Ferrari proved to have undoubtedly improved significantly.

On lap 18, Barrichello took the lead in the pit stop, on lap 19, Zhang Guan also pitted, and on lap 20, Massa and Vettel pitted at the same time.

One was third and the other was fourth, so neither dared to use a long pit stop strategy to avoid falling behind, and it took 8.6 seconds for Massa to refuel compared to 8.7 seconds for Vettel. The double layer is still the original order of the holder, one in front and one in the other.

Under the leadership of Zhang Guan, the other drivers followed lap after lap, and the drivers were really familiar with this track, and there were few mistakes, so it became very difficult to overtake in corners. The best overtaking point becomes the end of the big straight, taking advantage of the wake of the car in front and the later braking point to overtake.

At this point, more drivers are actually waiting for a second pit stop, hoping to use a pit stop strategy to overtake their opponents.

The race came to lap 44 without a hitch, with Ferrari's Massa and Red Bull Racing's Sebastian Vettel entering the pits at the same time. This time the pit stop was the same as the last time, neither of them dared to use the long pit stop, and in the end Massa added 7.7 seconds of gas, while Vettel added 8.7 seconds, a difference of one second was enough for Massa to successfully hold on to the lead.

In the command room, this scene surprised the strategy teams of each team.

"With 66 laps to go, it's only the 44th lap and the last 22 laps, and Massa only has 7.7 seconds of gas, will he be able to make it to the end?"

"7.7 seconds, which is a very short pit stop, under normal circumstances, it can use sixteen or seventeen laps of fuel, could it be that there is still a lot of gasoline in Massa's mailbox?"

"I don't think there will be a lot of fuel in store, and if there is really a lot of oil, Ferrari will definitely choose to run a few more laps on the road, and it can also use the light car to open up the gap."

"Massa's driving style, although not very extreme, is not very fuel-efficient! Moreover, he drove a Ferrari, which has the highest fuel consumption of all racing engines. ”

"I don't understand, I can't understand Ferrari's strategy of making pit stops in a very short time."

Everyone discussed Ferrari's pit stop, and even the TV commentator began to speculate about Ferrari's intentions.

However, at this time, in Massa's radio headset, the team told him that due to the team's mistake, he had miscalculated the amount of fuel, so he had to use the fuel economy mode to continue driving if he wanted to finish the race.

The refueling time of an F1 race can be said to be calculated in 0.1 seconds, which is undoubtedly an extremely low-level mistake. For a giant like Ferrari, or for any F1 team, you shouldn't make such a mistake.

In fuel economy mode, the fuel consumption of the car will be greatly reduced, but whether it is in the corner or in the straight, the horsepower will not be as sufficient as the original, especially in some places where the throttle needs to be slammed, the power of the car will not be as good as before.

At this time, Massa felt extremely depressed in his heart, he had a good situation, he had a chance to get on the podium, but at this moment he was completely buried because of the team's mistakes, he had to insist on playing the last twenty laps under the fuel economy mode, and he also had to withstand the pursuit of Vettel behind him.

Sebastian Vettel apparently also knew Ferrari had made a mistake and quickly began to pursue Massa, and the two men became the focus of attention.

……

"The good news is that Ferrari made a mistake, they gave Massa less fuel, and in the next race, Massa can only use the fuel mode, so you can run with peace of mind." Ross Brown's voice rang out from the headphones, which was mainly addressed to Barrichello, who was now in second place and now he didn't have to worry about Massa chasing him at all.

At this stage of the race, Zhang Guan, who finished first, and Barrichello, who finished second, have completely stabilized their rankings, and as long as they run the last 20 laps normally, they can get the top two.

Massa and Vettel started a fight, fortunately this is the Catalan circuit, overtaking is not very easy, so that Massa can continue to defend Vettel's attack, if it is other tracks, Massa has long been unable to hold on.

Ferrari's kinetic energy recovery system helped Massa a lot in this moment, with 6.5 seconds and 20 hp to the maximum advantage on the big straights. The kinetic energy recovery system uses the energy in the battery instead of the gasoline in the car, so Massa does not have to worry about fuel consumption, so whenever Vettel uses a corner to close the distance, Massa will always use the big straight to open up some gaps.

However, Massa did not make it to the end, and on lap 63, Ferrari informed Massa that if he ran like this, his car would run out of fuel on lap 65. Massa had no choice but to give way to Vettel and slow down at the same time. As a result, on the final lap, Massa was overtaken by Alonso.

As for Sebastian Vettel, who finished third, it was impossible to catch up with Barrichello in front of him after overtaking Massa, so he also gave up the pursuit and finished third.

Zhang Guan won the championship again, Barrichello finished second, and the Chinese Power Team swept the top two for the third time after Australia and Malaysia.

……

"We congratulate Zhang Guan for winning five consecutive championships! At the same time, congratulations to the China Power Racing Team for winning the team's fifth consecutive championship. The victory at Circuit de Catalunya proved that the car of the Chinese power was indeed the best car of the season. In the current drivers' standings, Zhang Guan leads by 45 points, and in the constructors' standings, China Power Team is also in first place. ”

"The next stop, F1 will come to the 'crown jewel' Monte Carlo, with the characteristics of Chinese power racing, there is a great possibility of winning six consecutive championships! It's really hard to imagine that the six consecutive championships after the start of the season reminded me of the car king Schumacher! He had won 7 in a row in the 2004 season! And now, Zhang Guan only has the last two games left, and he can tie Schumacher's record of 7 consecutive wins! ”

……

The five consecutive championships after the start of the race made Zhang Guan's mood very good, and the follow-up investment of funds also made the team achieve certain results in the research and development of kinetic energy recovery system.

The next race is on May 24 at Monaco's Monte Carlo circuit. So for both the team and the drivers, there is a short break to adjust.

On the week of the race, there is usually a press conference between the drivers and the team on Thursday, so the drivers will arrive at the venue of the race by Wednesday at the latest, and the teams will arrive earlier, and for some small teams, the drivers will also arrive with the team in order to save money.

The race was due to take place over the weekend, but on Tuesday, Zhang Guan arrived in Monaco, where the sixth race will be held, with the team.

At the marina, Ommy stood at the bow of the boat, enjoying the sea breeze, red wine, roast chicken, delicate desserts accompanied him, and of course, as an Indian, he did not have the pleasure of enjoying the best steaks in Europe.

"Boss, we have found out the news, Zhang Guan arrived in Monaco today with the convoy." The assistant spoke.

"When is their convoy meeting?" Omi asked.

"It's three o'clock on Thursday afternoon, and it's them after Ferrari." The assistant spoke.

"Okay, let's arrange it, our plan will be implemented on Thursday morning! We can take Zhang Guan by surprise! Zhang Guan, you wait, this time, I will definitely let you experience the feeling of heartbreak! Omi had an eerie smile on his face. (To be continued.) )
