Within a few laps, Liu Hongyu was within three seconds of Hamilton.

“Slow down. There was an accident on the track, and there was a virtual safety car. ”

Liu Hongyu had just passed the checkpoint to start his 26th lap when Marcus motioned for him to slow down on Team Radio. At the same time, Matthew, who was on the sidelines, also began waving the yellow flag.

Liu Hongyu asks in TR, "What happend?" ”

"It's Magnussen and Sainz. Sainz wasn't the first to go in with us, and he was like Leclerc in the back of the lap time. Leclerc was okay, just changed the tires and went into the slow lineup, but Sainz came out and fought there to grab the position with Magnussen, and as a result, he skidded where he had no grip. Well... The race will come out of the physical safety car. ”

The sign "VSC" on the sidelines has also been changed to "SC". Other words... This accident may not be so easy to clean up in a few minutes.

When Liu Hongyu's car drove past the accident site of Sainz and Magnussen, it was found that the tail wing of the red prancing horse belonging to Sainz had left the car and appeared in the buffer zone of the track.

On lap 31, the safety roof lights went out and the race was ready to restart.

After the press, Hamilton shook off Liu Hongyu behind him like an arrow from the string. Liu Hongyu did not immediately speed up to chase in order to protect the fetus. Verstappen at the back wasn't much faster than he was fighting Russell for position, so he was able to run at his own pace in the early stages.

On lap 39, as the sky cleared up, there was less and less rain on the course. Pagani's strategy team was also considering a pit stop after reporting the current lap times and weather conditions to the two drivers.

The camera moves to Kimi in the background.

After a period of pursuit, Kimi, who was in the clean air, overtook in succession and then began to accelerate to chase Pérez.

On the starting straight, Kimi relied on the DRS advantage to gradually bite behind Pérez. At the end of the straight, Kimi cut to the outside and tried to make his move, but the trail was a little lacking, so he had to follow and wait for his chance.

After passing a few corners and ferrule the ridiculously slow Latifi, Kimi opted to take the inside line before entering the hairpin corner, and Pérez naturally didn't let it go.

But... They ignored the man.

Before entering the corner, the two directly had a wheel-to-wheel relationship, and the tires came into contact with each other while spinning at high speed, causing the two to spin directly. Latifi, who was paying attention to Stroll's driving line in the rearview mirror, did not notice that there was a collision between the two cars on the spot, and directly crashed into it, directly leading to a series of accidents.

“No... Speed down, speed down. Kimi collided with Pérez and retired from the race. Track accidents. Marcus said as he looked at Kimi's No. 6 car on the screen (there will be a pit in the back, not that I am mistaken)

Looking at the weather forecast, the strategy team decided to call Liu Hongyu to enter the station, after all, there is still a safety car, and it can earn some time if you go in.

"Why is this strategy exactly the same as him today..."

Looking at the Silver Wing racing car belonging to Hamilton that was changing the channel in room P, Liu Hongyu was a little curious about how Hamilton's strategy was synchronized today.

Tire selection is subtle at this point. It's no more, no less, just 30 laps to go. And the medium and soft tires will definitely not be able to hold up. All you have to do is use either of these two, which means you're sure to choose two stops after the rain in this game.

You can also choose to end the race with a long stint on hard tyres, but your lap times will drop dramatically in the final stages of the race. At this time, the driver who stops after the rain can eat you raw with the updated tires, unless the safety car is out in the final stage and the safety car is directly finished the race.

After a brief discussion, the team decided to let Liu Hongyu use two new sets of soft tyres to ensure that he could finish the race at the fastest speed. They were the same as Hamilton in this regard (most of the drivers had three extra sets of soft tyres at the end of qualifying, some like Leclerc, Russell and Verstappen)

Since Liu Hongyu and Hamilton had already missed the pit lane entrance at the time of the accident, they both came out of the pit line behind Verstappen on medium tyres, with Russell on new soft tyres in fourth.

On lap 43, the safety roof lights went out and the race resumed.

After the press, Verstappen kicked the throttle and began to accelerate on the grid. But bar...

Before entering Turn One, a black shadow scurried past him.

Liu Hongyu chose to increase the power output after the acceleration of the race, and at the same time pressed the button on the left side of the steering wheel of the car to turn on his "plug-in", and used the faster tail speed and the advantage of the tire's braking point to complete the limit of one through two with a late brake before the first corner.

"Dare to try! It reminds us of the Spanish Grand Prix a few weeks ago! And now! Louis Lau, the wonder boy from China, managed to lead the race as a dark horse! ”

At Turn 2, Hamilton had gradually overtaken and the pair came out of the corner side by side. However, Hamilton, who was on the outside, was quicker in the corners, so Verstappen dropped to third, and he had to keep an eye out for Russell on soft tyres behind him.

Mercedes' overall performance is still far superior to Pagani's.

Two laps later, Hamilton took advantage of the DRS turn on and decided to get the engine running at full power. And now, the silver beast that swept the paddock has returned.

After using DRS to refresh the fastest lap in a row, Hamilton had caught up with Liu Hongyu within 0.2 seconds.

On the big straight, Hamilton did not panic at all, and followed closely behind Liu Hongyu to wait for an opportunity. And the more Hamilton is like this, the more nervous Liu Hongyu's heart becomes. He knew that once Hamilton decided to get his hands dirty and managed to get past it, the victory would be for the Silver Arrow behind him.

On the 50th lap, Hamilton cut to the outside line after refreshing the fastest lap to make a move, and Liu Hongyu hurriedly drew a dragon to the outside line to block Hamilton.

“No！ No！ Nooooo！ ”

Looking at the silver arrow that suddenly appeared on his left side, all that was left in Liu Hongyu's heart was unwillingness.

Hamilton cut to the inside again, and at the same time directly used up the power, and overtook Liu Hongyu with a late brake.

"Alas... This kid's offensive ability is one of the best in the paddock, but this defensive ability is still a bit insufficient to meet a top driver at the world championship level like Lewis..."

Looking at the No. 15 car belonging to Liu Hongyu on the screen, Mercedes-Benz team principal Toto Wolf controlled his voice and said to a team executive next to him who knew the inside story of Liu Hongyu's yin-yang contract.

Hearing this, the man smiled and said, "Isn't this normal, young people, you always need to be experienced." Don't be too demanding of an 18-year-old, that's pretty strong at his age. It's a big deal to ask Lewis to teach him more experience. But... Since Abu Dhabi's eight-time title, Lewis has changed a lot about his position in the team. Maybe... At the start of next season, it's time to consider changing his position as a number two driver. ”

After chasing for a few laps, Liu Hongyu could only maintain the gap between him and Hamilton as much as possible by about a second. He could only finish the last 20 laps in parallel and quietly.

“With the celebration for Mercedes！ Lewis Hamilton，wins the Canadian Grand Prix!”

When the silver arrow crossed the finish line and was the first to wave the checkered flag, the high-spirited boy seemed to be back.

Looking at Hamilton and the staff celebrating passionately, all Liu Hongyu could do was applaud his childhood idol and celebrate his first title of the season.

"Great game, fastest lap, Driver Of The Day."

After boxing with Hamilton, Liu said.

"What do you think of your car today?"

In the lounge, George Russell, who finished third, asked.

Liu Hongyu said to him: "A little regretful. The speed of the race was not bad, but unfortunately he still couldn't stop Lewis. Anyway, it doesn't affect me in the game, and it's over. ”

"Well, indeed. Anyway, it doesn't affect me to overtake you in the main match in the future. ”

Russell also knew that Liu Hongyu was joking, so he said this to him. (The two people are close in age and both come out of the Mercedes system, so it's normal to be friends)

"Come on, you old boy, take a sub-station championship first, and then come and talk to me like this."
