In Zhang's memory, there was a 0.5 point situation in the Malaysian Grand Prix at this stop, which is a special situation that does not necessarily occur once in ten years. The reason for www.biquge.info is that the Malaysian Grand Prix did not cover 75% of the course due to heavy rain, so the driver's points were halved.

There are a total of 56 laps on the Sepang circuit, 75% of which is equivalent to 42 laps, which means that this race did not even finish 42 laps.

Of course, Zhang Guan can't remember how many laps he ran at the end of this race, but it is certain that the final lap was definitely less than 42 laps, so there will be 0.5 points. And now it's the 30th lap, which means that in the next 12 laps, there will inevitably be a heavy rain.

In reality, it is impossible to stop the race as soon as it rains, it takes at least one or two laps of buffering, and if you subtract two laps from 12 laps, that is, 10 laps, so within 10 laps, it will inevitably rain.

"10 laps, that's probably the biggest number. Surely it will be less than 10 laps, maybe seven or eight? Five or six laps? Or even three or four laps? If it rains heavily after seven or eight laps, it takes about the same time to change dry tires as it does to continue running on wet tires, but if it rains after three or four laps, it is a waste of time to pit and change tires! In other words, the best situation for changing tires is not to lose money, and not to change tires, if you continue to run with this set of rain tires, you will definitely make a profit without losing money! ”

Thinking of this, Zhang Guan said into the radio: "I won't change the tire first, I see that there are still many dark clouds in the sky, maybe it will rain." ”

"But now that the road is dry, do you want to run down with this set of rain tires? This way you will lose nearly two seconds of time in one lap. We calculated that if we put on a set of dry tires, we would run seven or eight laps without losing money. If it rains again, you can come back and change into wet tires. This time it was Ross Brown who spoke, and when he heard Zhang Guan say that he would not change the tire, he immediately picked up the walkie-talkie.

"Give me a few laps more and there are still a lot of places on the track that are still slippery. And I still have a lot of fuel now, and if I enter the station, I will have to come out with heavy oil. Zhang Guan said.

"Oh well! You're the boss, you call it your way! Ross-Brown said with some annoyance, his tone full of complaints, apparently he didn't like Zhang's behavior of pointing fingers at the team.

In fact, Rose Brown is a very strong person, and the person who can achieve Rose Brown's achievement this time can't certainly be a docile Newfoundland dog. If it weren't for Zhang Guan's performance to bring enough surprises to Rose Brown, and now Zhang Guan's lead is big enough, Rose Brown might have gone crazy on the spot.

"Then I'll let Rubens (Barrichello) come in and change the tires first!" Ross Brown said casually.

"What time is Barrichello now?" Zhang Guan asked immediately.

"Second, right behind you, there's a ...... between you Belch...... A gap of more than twenty seconds. He was originally fourth, but Rosberg in second place and Trulli in third had just pitted for tyres, so Rubens is now second. Ross Brown began.

"If Barrichello pits for a tyre, how many will he be when he comes out?" Zhang Guan then asked.

"Let me see...... Well, it's the fifth! He'll be behind Rosberg and Trulli, and BMW's Hayfield will also be ahead of Rubens because he's been using wet tyres, but I think Hayfield will also pit for tyres. Ross Brown began.

"Then I suggest that Barrichello wait a little longer before changing the tire." Zhang Guan said immediately.

"What? If you don't change the tire, you don't want Rubens to change the tire? Do you want to run all the way with this set of rain tires? Ross Brown thought about it and immediately understood why, and he said, "I see what you mean, are you betting that it will rain heavily?" ”

"Yes." Zhang Guan continued: "If I pit and change tires, my lead is big enough, even if I come out of the pit pit, I will still be first, but Barrichello will be transferred to fifth, we might as well bet, if it really rains heavily, we will pit one less stop, it will be first and second!" Won the top two in two consecutive races! ”

"You're a bold idea. Are track and field athletes gamblers? Ross Brown took a deep breath, he thought for two seconds, and then said, "I'll pass on your suggestion to Rubens, or let him choose!" ”

……

At this time, Barrichello was running lonely on the track.

He was more than twenty seconds away from Zhang Guan, a distance that was obviously not even visible to him, and the drivers behind him were making or just exiting the pit stop, and the tires had not yet warmed up. At this time, all Barrichello could see was a few slow cars that were about to be circled by him in the distance ahead.

"Rubens." Ross Brown's voice came over the radio call.

"Did you tell me to pit for dry tires?" Bariciche Roma asked.

"Yes, but now it's up to you to decide. I just had a conversation with Zhang Guan and he wasn't going to pit now, he thought we should take a gamble. Ross Brown began.

"Take a gamble? What do you mean? Barrichello asked.

"Bet it will rain again soon. So be prepared to use the rain tires for a while, and he recommends that you do so. Ross Brown began.

Barrichello instantly understood Zhang's intentions, after all, he is a veteran driver with 16 years of experience in Formula 1 racing, and he is also familiar with various pit stop strategies.

"If I pit stop, how many places will I fall into?" Bariciche Roma asked.

"Based on the current situation, it is fifth." Ross Brown said right away.

Barrichello immediately began to weigh the pros and cons.

"If you pit and change tires, you will fall to fifth place, and if you don't pit it you will be second. If it doesn't rain, the lead will be quickly overtaken by other cars, and second place will definitely not be kept. But if it rains, I can hold on to the wet tires for a while, save a pit stop, and maybe finish in second place. How to choose? Barrichello looked up at the sky in the distance, but he was not a meteorologist and could not tell if it would rain, and even if he was a meteorologist, in a place like Malaysia where rain is said to rain, he could not accurately predict the weather.

"It may be a mistake not to pit for a tyre, it's a real bet on whether it will rain or not. But this is Zhang Guan's idea, he is the boss! Well, do what the boss wants, even if you make a mistake, the boss will take the blame, and you won't blame me. Besides, I'm 37 years old, maybe there won't be a team to ask me next year, and I want to mix up the pension contract for another year or two, well, let's do it according to the boss's wishes! ”

Barrichello thought of this and said, "Then I'll wait a little longer!" (To be continued.) )
