represents the highest technology of the automotive industry. The Formula 1 Grand Prix officially came to an end after the Abu Dhabi station last night. Kimi Raikkonen failed to drive Ferrari to complete the final mileage, and the head brother failed to get his "1801 points". Hamilton, who broke free from Will Smith's kidnapped, became the final winner. The last three world champions released the last momentum on the straight, allowing the thick smoke generated at 3,000 horsepower to put a rest for this season.
The plot of this season is ups and downs, with youth storms, veterans who have not died, life after disaster, parting, and return. This is an annual hit drama about Fast and Furious. It is a performance by a group of people who love racing and speed to present to the world this year. Here we will take a look at the reds and blacks of this season.
2018 annual red list
In 2018, they may not be the most perfect people, but they are by no means those who have been disappointed by time. In this year, they have completed their mission and left their highlight moments with absolute strength in this annual drama. Many years later, when we look back on the ups and downs of this year, we will praise their spirit of struggle, praise their hard work, and praise their legendary stories. They deserve it.
2018 annual red list No.5 Raikkonen
Even the most crazy Ferrari black fans could not have imagined that eleven years have passed, and Ferrari's last world champion was won by Raikkonen in 2007. What's even more unexpected is that Ferrari will exil this meritorious service for the second time in eleven years. But for Iceman , all this seems to be less important. Iceman, who was known for his indifference when he debuted, added a little warmth to his usual indifference at the end of his career, and even more Buddhist.
First father Raikkonen seemed very calm when facing the differential treatment of the team's desire to cover up and the aggressive invasion of his teammates. It seemed that none of these were important. But when the 39-year-old "old" ice man won the sub-station championship again after five and a half years, the roar made us see the passion of the Finns. When the Finnish flag was raised, we clearly saw the young man who almost took off the horse when he debuted. The blood of speed will always flow into the Finnish body, which is why he can create glory even after returning after years of leaving the paddock.
This is his first sub-station championship to return to Ferrari team and the last one. His last championship was the Australian station in 2013. However, it is worth remembering that Raikkonen has surpassed Mika Hakkonen with 21 sub-station championships to become the Finnish driver with the most championships. 2018 was not the most glorious year for Raikkonen, but it was definitely not a year of failure. He took Ferrari's last driver, the world champion, the last sub-station champion, and the last pole position to leave, and return to the Sauber team in 2019. That is where the racing dream begins.
He is a driver, he is the dad, he is the ice man, he is the last driver champion of Ferrari, he returns again after leaving, and leaves again after returning. He is the darling of the car fans and the abandoned child of the team. He is chased by the car fans and exiled by the team. He won respect in his exile, and he won more respect after his return. Goodbye in 2018, Maranello has no ice man anymore.
2018 annual red list No.4 Kubica
He is not a regular visitor in the 2018 paddock. We can only see him sitting in the cockpit of the F1 racing car again in some test drives, but he still deserves a place on the 2018 red list, because the inspirational story of a person who truly loves racing breaks through many obstacles and returns to the paddock is worthy of our praise. This is a pure speed victory in the environment of Jinyuan racing.
The driver seats in 2018 have been decided in the overall situation of drivers and team championships in 2018 have become the biggest hottest. Whether Ferrari abandons meritorious drivers and starts a newcomer, or Monopoly spends a lot of money to buy a team to give his son a seat, or the paddock joke player is also the best driver, Alonso, will not say goodbye to Kubica's return, and fanatical fans even decompile the team's official website to find clues about Kubica's return. There is nothing else, people who love racing will certainly love such a driver who has the purest love for racing. He drives racing just because of his love. Before the nightmare accident in 2011, Kubica was a very talented and powerful driver. She even won the first and only F1 point championship in the team's history for the weak Sauber team. How difficult it is to be in the Jinyuan Racing era controlled by the big team. Even the founder of the team, Mr. Sauber, who has been in the paddock for many years, could not hide his tears of excitement.
After that disaster, Kubika not only lost the seat of the F1 driver, but even lost his body as a healthy person. Today, Kubika's right arm still lacks enough strength. At the same corner, it takes longer than other drivers to make a smooth corner. It is only after 8 years that he has recovered to be able to enter the F1 car again with the help of top medical care. It is hard for us to imagine how difficult Kubika faces after injury. We are very happy that he has overcome those difficulties. In the past eight years, he has been in various medical institutions and has also constantly challenged various events such as WRC, GT3, Le Mans, etc. With his pursuit of speed, he successfully won his F1 racing seat in the end of 2018. We respect this bowl of chicken soup first.
2018 Red List No.3 Hamilton
2018 is an absolute harvest for Hamilton. In this year, he became the five-champion champion and ranked the podium for the five-champion champion with legendary driver Van Gio, second only to the car king Schumacher. From now on, he has set a new level with his contemporary drivers, including the four-champion champion Vettel behind him. Those who once disdained Hamilton because of his youthful recklessness when he was just starting out were mostly convinced, just like the Portuguese who conquered Europe, they were forbearing and determined, and never admit defeat even when facing a powerful opponent. The seemingly insurmountable gap was eventually smoothed out and even surpassed.
This year he encountered unprecedented difficulties. After years of loss, Ferrari finally regained his speed and once became the fastest car on the track. He started a bad start and failed to stop the British from moving forward on the road to defending the champion. He quickly adjusted his state from falling behind his opponents for more than ten points to overtaking to winning the championship early. This year's plot is perfect enough for Hamilton. The era of the five-time champion is coming.
2018 Annual Red List No.2 Halo Protection System (Flip-flops)
Halo is a protective device used in open racing that is installed above the driving position to prevent the driver from being injured in a collision accident. The concept of Halo was first proposed in 2015. In the 2018 season, the FIA mandated that in the first and second-class racing cars, the car must be equipped with Halo devices to ensure the safety of the drivers.
Because the appearance of the Halo system resembles flip-flops, it has also been famous for flip-flops. In the history of F1 for more than half a century, this can be regarded as a revolutionary reform. It broke the racing appearance that has been used for many years. It was once disgusted by car fans and some drivers, believing that it destroyed the beauty of the racing car and even hindered the driver from escaping when an accident was encountered.
However, after several serious car accidents this year, the Halo system showed his value. He effectively avoided the occurrence of many vicious accidents. The most famous one was the protection of young driver Leclerc at the Belgium Grand Prix. The pictures and the imprints on Halo clearly demonstrated the importance of Halo to driver safety. Remember that this is a major reform that young driver Bianqi exchanged for his life. It is not an exaggeration to pay attention to safety. The greatest innovation in 2018 deserves his position on the red list.
2018 Red List No.1 Mercedes-Benz team
2018's biggest winner is Mercedes AMG team. They have dominated the paddock for five consecutive years and tied the record of Ferrari's five consecutive championships. This is a truly modern team, and they see the shadow of Ferrari back then. Compared to Ferrari's hesitant pretending to treat fairly but backfires, the two drivers performed their duties under the strict discipline of the Germans, the team tactics were implemented to the greatest extent, and the interests of the team and the drivers were satisfied, which was nowhere higher than the Italians.
Today's Mercedes AMG team has the best drivers of the first and second drivers in the paddock, and at the same time, it indirectly realizes the talent reserve of the youth team as an engine manufacturer. At the same time, not only is Ferrari an equal footing in annual dividends, but it has also become the first echelon in the field in terms of sponsors. It can be self-sufficient without a large investment from Mercedes-Benz. With all talents, money and technology, a virtuous cycle of dynasty has been established. The racing dreams of Honda, Toyota , BMW and other disruptors were not expected to be realized by Mercedes-Benz in the end. The top spot in the 2018 annual red list is well deserved.
2018 annual blacklist
annual inventory has joys and sorrows. Some people not only met our expectations and even exceeded expectations, but also some people failed our hopes in vain. They clearly hold a good hand but have made a lot of tricks to ruin a bright future. They still make trouble for us in this difficult period. It is really unforgivable. See us on the blacklist list.
2018 Black List No.5 Vestapan and Red Bull Team
Vestapan's emergence in that year was amazing. We were at the peak of our debut. We won the branch championship on the first day from Little Red Bull to Big Red Bull. This is the dream of many people for life. At that time, we thought we had witnessed history. Who would have thought it was the beginning, but we didn't expect it to end. The constant stupid car accidents gave Verstappen the nickname of "Tower Cannon". They either crashed into someone else or rushed out of the track. Verstappen was even more popular than him in the car. However, when he made mistakes, his opponents surpassed his broken car again and again, opening a gap in the standings. Maybe the young Verstappen has a very fast speed, but it does not have good stability. The last young man who was so popular and talented took 6 years to polish his mind after winning a championship to become the five-time champion today. Young man, please be careful.
Of course, behind every naughty child is one or several bear parents. That’s right, what I’m talking about is Red Bull. Verstappen's willfulness is largely related to the team's indulgence. For this talented driver he has trained since childhood, Red Bull can be said to be an indulgence. By directly swapping driver seats with Coviat in the season that year, you can get a glimpse of the whole Leopard. However, the reality is cruel. The beloved naughty child does not often realize his talent. Instead, the differently treated Australians won more trophys for Red Bull.
Australians who love to laugh often this year. The team's unfair treatment and resource tilt have caused Australians to keep falling into the quagmire of racing failures, and reached its peak after announcing their transfer to Renault next season. The decisive Australian chose to leave, and did not even tell the leader of his new contract. He didn't know what he was feeling when he learned about the transfer news of his driver when he was interviewed by a reporter about Renault. While shooting interesting short videos, should we also pay attention to interpersonal relationships? Always protecting a calf cannot really help the driver grow. His previous son is not doing well in Italy now. Is it really good to always favor one driver and isolate the other, and by the way, I can have such a stalemate with the engine supplier.
2018 Black List No.4 Williams/McLaren
Two old teams can now make racing headlines just where they are the drivers. They are either the jokes of the boss or Williams' rich second-generation drivers. It has to be said to be a kind of sadness.The three once powerful teams have not won the championship for a long time, and have not even reached the podium for a long time. The legendary team, which has 19 world champions and 18 world champions of the world champions of the race, has been so popular with the legendary drivers of the Senna, Prost , Villeneuve , and Williams and McLaren , who have been keen on the top podium, actually need to fight for points. When will we see them standing on the highest podium?
lack of funds is just a superficial phenomenon. The fundamental reason is that the two old teams have lost their enterprising spirit and lack the desire for championships. Red Bull, which also buys customer engines, can still make an impact on the podium. Moreover, McLaren and the best drivers in the paddock, can only work hard to enter the Q2 for the qualifying race. What a sadness. The former Ferrari was also in such a dilemma, but the symbol of F1 was ridiculed as "old and broken car", until the arrival of Montezemoro, until the arrival of Jean Todd, until the arrival of Ross Brown and Rory Byrne, until the arrival of Schumacher, the Red Dynasty made a comeback. McLaren and Williams still have a chance, but before that, you two can't escape the annual blacklist.
2018 Black List No.3 FIA
In recent years, the rest of the time FIA has spent in opposing the team and fans. The team worked hard to find a loophole to improve their results and just showed their results, the FIA banned it for various reasons, including but not limited to Halo rearview mirrors, shark fins, burning oil, etc. Car fans have also had enough of the ambiguous double standard punishment of FIA. The track accident that I just punished at the last stop was not considered a foul because I changed my individual. After each game, the FIA's punishment can make the topic area lively for a long time. Now F1 has fallen from the three hot world events that year to now not even a formal live broadcast, and the weak FIA around the world will take most of the blame. It is obviously a speed-based event, so I have to think about saving fuel. It is clearly an industry known for spending money like flowing water. It has to save money. It is clear that the refueling and different tire suppliers in the race can give the team more strategies to make the competition look better, but FIA is going to do the opposite. Come on, you will still be the one in the annual blacklist.
2018 Black List No.2 Vettel
This year was the best year for Ferrari and Vettel to win the world championship. In this year, Vettel had a Ferrari racing car that was enough to compete with Mercedes-Benz Mars rover. He defeated Mercedes-Benz in the first qualifying race and started with the first rank. However, the reality is cruel. Ferrari, like the Chinese men's football team, never disappointed people. As Ferrari's No. 1 driver, Vettel failed to take on the responsibility of driver No. 1. Not only could he not turn the tables in adversity, but now he can't even control the leading mode that he is best at. Vettel, who is fighting locally in Hoganheim, drove Ferrari, who was the best in the game, and directly allowed Hamilton to overtake 17 points from -8 points, and gave up the top spot in the standings.
Then at Ferrari's home Monza , he followed his elderly teammates to take the first-row start parking space, which once made many Tifosi on the scene ecstatic. However, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, he sang Jolin Tsai's "Dancer" in just the third turn of the departure, and could only watch the Germans humiliate the Italians in Apennine Peninsula again.
Then Vettel seemed to be completely fascinated by the fact that he was spinning around the same place. In the remaining schedule, he saw the Red No. 5 car constantly spinning on the track. At the end, the four-time champion with an unbalanced mentality even blamed his elderly teammates for not being able to give up his position in time, and even said bluntly, "I have to compete with three cars, including my teammates." Judging from the oppression of his teammates when he started later, he did this, but things went against his wishes. The old teammates not only surpassed themselves in the points in the second half of the season, but even shamelessly occupied the last sub-station champion and pole position of Ferrari. It seems that yesterday's story is reproduced. I don't know if V4 recalls the fear of being ruled by Ricardo. Perhaps one day the Germans will understand that Red Bull-style calf protection cannot truly grow.
Next year, the four-champion champion will usher in a young teammate. What will happen between Leclerc and Vettel, who are newborn calf and are not afraid of tigers? Will young drivers challenge power or will the four-champion champion eventually become great? 2019 is worth looking forward to, but I’m afraid Vettel can only continue to stay on the annual blacklist in 2018.
2018 Black List No.1 Ferrari
The first team of the yard, represented by red, has been dominated by the blacklist for consecutive years. I wonder what the new bosses of Ferrari have thought. The Red Devil, who once dominated the wings and was lonely and desperate to defeat, now has the shadow of Ferrari in the 1980s. Not only did he fall behind his opponents in racing hardware, but he also fully showed the characteristics of the Italians in team management. Further, he can be selected into the Italian joke collection with the Italian army in World War II.
Compared with the strict team discipline and clear No. 1 and 2 drivers in the Mercedes-Benz team, Ferrari, as the team commander and No. 1 and 2 drivers, became shy for some reason. In Germany, Raikkonen, who allowed the old tires to block the new tires, also repeatedly suffered from the Mercedes-Benz's position because of the stupid overtake of his drivers. Even when the No. 1 driver publicly complained that he had to face three opponents, it directly led to the two drivers' appearance and fighting each other in the second half of the season, losing the chance to turn the tables. I miss the saying "Fernando is faster than you."
In addition to the Italian chaos in team management, Ferrari's team strategy this year was also a disaster. In Bahrain, Vettel, who had soft tires, forced a stop, and after Monza allowed Raikkonen to make a stop, it was eventually surpassed by Hamilton and lost a good match. In Singapore, he used a softer formula but made Vettel, who forced him to stop. In Suzuka, a track known for its high load, he chose multiple sets of soft tires, and also a ridiculous oil-free farce in Belgium. All this is unimaginable in the era of the Big Three. We miss the Ferrari team that had four plunges and had 25 laps running and forced a plunge window. That is the real Red Devils' leap horse. Today, Ferrari can only rank first in the annual black list.
