All five red lights went out and the Malaysian Grand Prix officially began. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Zhang Guan made no mistakes on the start and managed to hold on to his first position and enter Turn 1.

Turn 1 in Malaysia is a hairpin corner, and as long as you follow the route well, it is difficult to overtake at Turn 1. But Turn 1 is immediately followed by Turn 2, which is a reverse corner, which is a good overtaking spot on this track. If the route is too big at Turn 1, it is easy for your opponent to take advantage of the terrain at Turn 2 and overtake you. The short straights after Turn 2 will allow the overtakers to secure their edge.

Rosberg, who finished fourth, started very well, he overtook two Toyotas, came to Zhang Guan's side, and wanted to grab the inside line of Turn 2 to overtake Zhang Guan, but Zhang Guan's exit speed was faster than Rosberg, even if Rosberg grabbed the line, but lost in the speed of the corner, Zhang Guan took the lead in running out of Turn 2, and used the short straight in front of him to stabilize his position in first place.

Behind the scenes, Barrichello, Raikkonen and Alonso also had a good start, with them all catching up to varying degrees, while Toyota's Glock, who started third, did not start well and was squeezed into sixth place.

The first corner after the start is often bloody, not to mention that the Sepang circuit is still a continuous play, but fortunately, the Sepang circuit is wide enough, so there are no accidents on the first lap.

There were parts of the track that were dry and parts of the track that were slightly slippery, which was the last thing drivers wanted. Old drivers know that heavy rain is not terrible, the most terrible thing is that when the light rain first starts, the road is semi-dry, and it is particularly easy to skid, and the same is true on the track now.

There's no shortage of bad luck in Formula 1, and the first bad guy of the day was born on the first lap, when McLaren's Ivan Kovalenen was the first driver to retire after skidding sideways at a slippery corner. And he retired from two races in a row, which can be described as a leak for the troubled McLaren.

As the race progressed and the cars opened up to the distance, the advantages of the double-layer diffuser gradually became apparent, Zhang Guan firmly occupied the first place, and the gap with the second place became wider and wider, and Barrichello also surpassed the connecting world champion Alonso to move to the fourth position.

On lap 14, Red Bull Racing Sebastian Vettel took the lead to the first pit stop, which was the prelude to the drivers' first pit stop. Rothberg, who finished second, also opted for a pit stop to refuel, followed by two Toyota drivers.

As for Zhang Guan, the amount of fuel is relatively large, and the degree of tire wear is much lighter than expected before the race, so Zhang Guanhao was able to hold out for a few laps, and he began to take advantage of the lighter amount of oil to brush up the fastest lap.

The hot Sepang circuit has always been more tyreless, but this morning's rain left the track at just 36 degrees Celsius, which made the tyres much less granulated, and even the soft tyres were able to last three or four laps longer than usual.

The clouds in the sky are getting thicker, and those fans in the open-air audience have pulled out their umbrellas, ready to deal with the heavy rain. And the narrator keeps mentioning the rain, but so far not a drop of rain has fallen.

"The pre-race weather forecast said that it would start to rain half an hour after the race, and now it's half an hour, but it still hasn't rained!"

"I think it should be soon, you look at the sky, it's all like this, it's not raining before there are ghosts!"

"Look, Ferrari's Raikkonen has pitted, and he's on wet tyres!"

On lap 18, Ferrari driver Raikkonen pitted and switched to a set of all-wet tyres.

"It's not raining yet, why did Ferrari change to rain tyres?"

"Could it be that Ferrari already knows that the rain is coming soon?"

"Maybe Ferrari is simply betting that they are switching to full rain tyres instead of semi-wet tyres, which is obviously betting on the arrival of a heavy rain!"

The only difference between all-wet tires and semi-wet tires is the texture on the tire. There are more lines on the full rain tires, the ability of the tires to drain water is also stronger, and the car is less prone to skidding, of course, with the increase in friction and the reduction of downforce, which will seriously affect the speed of the car.

In general, if there is standing water on the track or there is not much rain, the driver will choose the semi-wet tyres, and only when the road conditions are very difficult and the rain is very heavy, the driver will choose the full wet tyres. Now Ferrari has opted for all-rain tyres, which is obviously like telling everyone that there will be a rainstorm.

Ferrari's change to full rain tires also surprised many teams, especially those who had just pitted for a tire change. You must know that this year's Formula 1 dry tires are all slick tires, that is, tires with no lines on the surface, with this kind of tires to run the rain battle, a little drizzle can still hold on a little, but if it really rains, the bald tires will definitely slip, and then they will have to pit again to change to rain tires, which is equivalent to one more stop, wasting more time.

Ross Brown picked up the walkie-talkie: "Zhang Guan, you have a nice pit stop window on the next lap. But I'll tell you that the Ferrari was on all-wet tyres when they pitted just now! ”

"It's not raining yet, so why is Ferrari in a hurry to change to full wet tyres?" Zhang Guan asked.

"Ferrari, unlike other fleets, rents their own weather satellites and employs dedicated climate analysts, who are supposed to predict that it will rain soon! They're now on wet tyres, and if it rains right away, they can take advantage of someone else's pit stop to get to the front. Ross Brown began.

"But it's not raining yet. Wet tires lose a lot of speed. Zhang Guan said.

"It's true that the road is still very dry, and the heavy rain tyres are more than a second off the lap compared to the soft tyres. If it doesn't rain for four or five laps, Ferrari's strategy is a losing one. Ross Brown began.

"Do you have any suggestions? What tires do we change? Zhang Guan asked.

"My advice is that you hold on for two more laps." Ross Brown continued: "You can slow down a bit, protect your tyres, we've gone to check out the latest weather forecast.

As soon as Ross Brown's words fell, a water droplet suddenly appeared at the position of the eyepiece of Zhang Guan's helmet, and then the water droplet quickly disappeared on the goggles with the speed of the car.

"I probably don't have to do two laps." Zhang Guan continued: "It's already raining! (To be continued.) )
