"The weather forecast says that there will be rain tomorrow, and you have to be prepared for a rain battle." Ross Brown looked at the satellite cloud image on his computer, frowning, apparently considering the pit stop strategy for tomorrow's game.

"It’s Malaysia after all. It’s weird not to rain. The key is when it starts to rain. If it happens to be raining at the beginning of the race, then it’s okay to start with a rain tire. It doesn’t matter. The annoying thing is that it rains in the middle of the race. This is for us. The strategy is very influential. The most terrifying thing is that it rains twice during a race period, and drivers have to pit in frequently to change tires." Barrichello said.

Aside from Zhang Guan's silence, he has fallen into memories.

For this Malaysian Grand Prix, Zhang Guan was impressed, because this time the race only ran halfway because the heavy rain was forced to be interrupted. This is rare in the Formula One race, and often only when it rains heavily This will happen.

Normal light rain or moderate rain does not affect the car participating in the race. Sometimes heavy rain can barely run. Unless the rain is really heavy, the driver's sight is completely blocked, which will interrupt the race. And this kind of situation may not happen once every one or two years, so once it appears, it will inevitably make people remember.

And let Zhang Guan remember that this Malaysian Grand Prix is ​​not only about the interruption of the game due to heavy rain, but also the strange situation of 0.5 points.

According to the Formula 1 rules, if the race is stopped halfway, the driver has not run 75% of the full race, and the points will be calculated according to the ranking of the two laps before the termination of the race, but the points will be halved; if it exceeds the full race 75%, you will get all points.

Take the Malaysian station as an example. A total of 56 laps are required. 75% of the schedule is 42 laps. If the driver does not reach the 42nd lap when the race is stopped, then the points earned by all drivers will be halved. The first place has 10 points and 5 points, the second place has 8 points and 4 points, and the third place has 6 points and 3 points. But in the fourth place, 5 points became 2.5 points; in the sixth place, 3 points became 1.5 points; in the eighth place, 1 point became 0.5 points. So this is a wonderful score of 0.5 points.

If the game is forced to be suspended, it will happen once every two or three years, then the situation of 0.5 points may not happen every ten years. It is precisely because of this, Zhang Guan will have an impression of this Malaysian match.

"I remember this race was suspended due to heavy rain, and there was also a situation of 0.5 points. It looks like tomorrow's game, there will really be a rain battle."

Toyota team.

"Because Vettel and Barrichello are both fined, we will start in the second and third places tomorrow! But the Japanese head office has just called, and they hope that we will not be satisfied with this and compete for the championship!" Technical Director Gascoigne said.

"Mr. Director, I'm afraid it's difficult to compete for the first. We are indeed inferior to the China Force team in terms of speed. We have the diffuser, and the China Force has the diffuser. Although we are not too disadvantaged in the high-speed corner, but on the straight, Our engine is not as good as China's power. Mercedes-Benz's engine responds to high-speed circuits and does not lose to Ferrari." Driver Trulli said.

"I understand what you said, the overall performance of our car is indeed not as good as China Power, but don’t forget, here is Malaysia, and I have received the latest weather forecast, there will be rain tomorrow, you know what it means ?" Gascoigne asked.

"Rain battle?" Trulli replied.

"Yes, rain battle!" Gascoigne looked excited: "I don't deny that Zhang Guan has first-class racing driving skills, but he is only a new driver after all, he must not be good at rain battle! And this is our opportunity . We just have to follow Zhang Guan, waiting for the rain, waiting for him to make mistakes, so that we have a chance to get the first!"

The Formula 1 rain battle and the dry land can be said to be completely different types of competition. If Formula 1 racing is a game for the brave, then the Formula 1 rain battle is a test of the wisdom and experience of a group of brave men.

In the rain battle, drivers need better driving skills, more accurate on-the-spot judgment, and even more incomparable rich experience. These are indispensable. For a new driver, driving skills can be compensated by talents, and judgment on the spot can also rely on luck. The only experience is the accumulation of time.

For this reason, it is an indisputable fact that new drivers are not good at rain. Zhang Guan, as a new driver who has just started to participate in racing, is of course considered to be not good at rain.

In Red Bull Racing, Vettel was also given high hopes.

"If it rains, I will definitely be able to get on the podium and even win the championship! I'm a little worried now that it won't rain tomorrow!" Vettel's confident expression.

Vettel is known to be good at rain battles. He won the first Formula 1 championship in his life. As a result, he is extremely confident in the battle of rain.

Some of the teams and drivers who started late are expecting that it will rain tomorrow. Their starting position is already relatively late. If they run normally, there is no chance of it, so they will expect the rain to bring a transfer .

On the afternoon of April 5, the 2009 Formula One Malaysian Grand Prix entered the competition for Sunday's official competition.

The weather forecast says that there will be rain today, and in fact it is the same. At around 10 am local time, a heavy rain fell around the Sepang circuit.

The game started at two o'clock in the afternoon and four hours had passed since the heavy rain not long ago. With the temperature in Malaysia, four hours is enough to allow the water on the track to evaporate a lot, but at this time there are still sections of the track that are very slippery.

"I have good news and bad news, which one do you listen to first?" An engineer asked Zhang Guan.

"Then talk about the good news first!" Zhang Guan said.

"The good news is that it rained a few hours ago and the room temperature is now 30 degrees Celsius, which is already very comfortable for the Malaysian Grand Prix. I remember when the Malaysian station was held in the summer a few years ago, in the afternoon Two points can often reach a high temperature of 40 degrees." The engineer said.

"What about the bad news?" Zhang Guan then asked.

"The bad news is that the news was just released at the game, and it will rain in half an hour." The engineer said.

Zhang Guan looked at the horizon. In the distance, it was already dark clouds. The rain seemed to be inevitable, and it seemed that the rain was not small. It was just to see when the rain would start.

"The tire warmers are about to start. Good luck!" The engineer patted Zhang Guan's shoulder and stepped aside. (To be continued.)
