He is easily the most ruthless and aggressive driver on the circuit.

Speed, Speed and More Speed

Michael Schumacher

Michael Schumacher has dominated Formula 1 for the last decade, to a degree that, some would argue, has taken the excitement out of the sport. He has a number of intrinsic strengths that make him so formidable. He is easily the most ruthless and aggressive driver on the circuit.

他毫不费力地就成为了环道上威猛强悍、气势凌人的车手。

加速,加速,再加速

迈克尔·舒马赫

在过去10年内,迈克尔·舒马赫统治了F1赛车领域,以至于有人认为这使该项运动变得毫无激情可言。他拥有许多与生俱来的优势,使别人难以望其项背。他毫不费力地就成为了环道上威猛强悍、气势凌人的车手。

There is no one who comes close to him in wetweather conditions. Apart from the fact that he is a great racing driver, he understands all the factors that go into a win. There is no one who understands a racecar better than him. His greatest strength is that he has the ability to motivate the entire team of Ferrari engineers and technicians to give him the fastest car possible. His record speaks for itself.

Fernando Alonso

Renault driver, Fernando is a pure product of the new generation. His driving style is very aggressive: he brakes later and harder, and makes big inputs with the steering.

He has huge talent, and an incredible ability to adapt to whatever the car is doing: he knows how to get 100% out of a car that isnt perfectly setup. Finally, Fernando tends to use the traction control a lot: on the exit of slow corners, he gets his foot flat on the floor as soon as possible!

在潮湿天气的赛况下,没有人能出其左右。他不但是一名伟大的赛车手,而且还知晓所有通向胜利的因素。没有人比他更了解赛车。他的最大优势在于,他能激励法拉力车队的全体工程和技工人员竭尽所能地为他提供最快的赛车。他的记录说明了一切。

费尔南多·阿隆索

雷诺车队车手费尔南多是新生代车手的代表性人物。他的驾驶风格闯劲十足:他会滞后急停、多次大幅转向。

他天赋极高,并具有一种令人难以置信的能力,即无论车况如何,他都可以适应:即使一辆车不是处在最佳状态,他也知道如何发挥它的最佳性能。最后,费尔南多还经常使用牵引控制技巧:在即将驶出慢速弯道时,他会在最短的时间内猛踩油门加足马力!

Jenson Button

Also a young gun, Button forced the world of Formula 1 to sit up and take notice when he made his debutdebut n.v.初次登场, 开张 in the 2000 season, finishing eight.

This season he made headlines for his acrimoniousacrimonious adj.严厉的, 辛辣的 departure from BAR. Like Alonso, it is believed that he has yet to reach his full potential and will be a big name for years to come.

简森·巴顿

巴顿也是一名闯劲十足的年轻选手,在2000赛季首次出战就取得了第八名的成绩,使整个F1赛车界为之震惊,引起了人们的注意。

本赛季,关于他与英美车队不和要离开该车队的消息成了头版新闻。与阿隆索一样,人们相信他还没有完全发挥出自己的潜力,并会在随后的几年内成长为一名巨星。

作为世界上难度最高、科技含量极强的一项运动,F1比赛挑战着人类的极限。作为他们当中的佼佼者,舒马赫、阿隆索、巴顿身上所具备的一些超常人的勇气、判断力、冷静等素质值得我们去学习。
