On lap 11, Verstappen was in T3 ready to attack Leclerc.

Relying on a one-handed crossing, Verstappen even managed to go wheel-to-wheel with Leclerc on the small straight between T3 and T4, and even went a little beyond the front of the car.

At this moment, all the staff in Scuderia Ferrari's P room subconsciously tensed their bodies.

Fortunately, Leclerc firmly guarded the inside line, relying on T4's advantage in the inside line to defend his line, so that Verstappen had no way to overtake him.

Even out of the corner, Leclerc slightly compressed the space for Verstappen, who was wheel-to-wheel with him.

Either you're going to be squeezed out of the white line by me, or you're going to honestly brake on the speed.

Verstappen chose the latter.

If you are squeezed out of the white line, the shoulder on the side of the road may injure the chassis of the car.

At that time, the speed loss caused by the damage to the chassis cannot be compensated for by the time of a few tenths of a second of a foot brake.

Because of Verstappen's foot on the brakes, he inevitably lost his rhythm and lost a lot of speed when he came out of the corner.

When the two cars enter the T5 together, the distance between the two cars is directly widened from 0.2 seconds to 0.7 seconds.

Even Vettel, who had been waiting behind Verstappen, seized this golden opportunity and launched an attack directly at Verstappen.

Unfortunately, the attack did not achieve much success.

Although Ferrari had a tail speed advantage, Verstappen ate the Leclerc DRS in front of him when he passed the DRS detection zone.

And Vettel does not have the bonus of DRS, so on this straight, Verstappen's top speed is faster than Vettel, and Vettel naturally has no way to surpass Verstappen.

But I have to say that under Vettel's attack, Verstappen also took the inside line to prevent Vettel from coming to a late brake to force the inside line, so Verstappen lost at least 0.2 seconds of speed in this corner, and Vettel's attack helped Leclerc relieve a lot of pressure.

And just when everyone was staring at Ferrari and Red Bull, Haas's two cars quietly retreated, and the director didn't even give them any shots.

On lap 14, Verstappen and Leclerc pitted at the same time.

Originally, Leclerc was in front and Verstappen was behind.

But in the process of changing the tire, Qin Miao was stunned to see the Ferrari's left front tire changer at the door of the P room jammed when he removed the tire, and Verstappen's tire change was almost perfect.

So when the two cars came out of the pits, Ferrari and Red Bull came in a wave of wheel-to-wheel wheels in the pits.

In such a situation, Ferrari's tyre changers are definitely on the back of the cauldron.

Due to Verstappen's position on the right, he even had a slight edge ahead of Leclerc.

There was a right-hand turn out of the pits, which was undoubtedly Verstappen's favour.

So Verstappen came out of the pit lane and finished fourth.

The reason for the fourth place was mainly because Vettel, who had been following the two all the time, did not pit for tyres.

After Qin Miao saw this scene, her blood pressure really rose in an instant.

However, as soon as he came out of the pits to T2, Verstappen made a big mistake because the tire temperature had not yet risen.

Leclerc seized the opportunity quickly and regained his position.

The crew made a mistake, and the driver paid for it.

After that, the two cars twirled with each other for five laps on the track.

However, Leclerc was so airtight that he didn't give Verstappen any chance to overtake him, and the exciting dogfight between the two cars also attracted most of the footage.

The attack and defence between the two men continued until lap 20, when Giovinaz, who was in ninth place, lost control of the car and crashed into the gravel at T18 after pressing on the shoulder.

And Giovinaz was directly trapped in the gravel ground this time, so the race club was very decisive in dispatching a physical safety car.

Verstappen, who had been following Leclerc, took advantage of the opportunity of this safety car to pit for white tyres and was ready to run straight to the end.

On Ferrari's side, Leclerc asked the team if they wanted to pit stops, but the team didn't let him pit for the first time.

When the team's strategy team calculated that there was still one pit stop, Leclerc had already missed the best time to make a pit stop, which led to Leclerc running a lap with the safety car before making a pit stop.

By the time he came out, he was already behind Verstappen.

The first twenty or so laps of defense were all in vain.

Once again, Scuderia Ferrari gave Leclerc a stab in the back.

On lap 24, the safety car withdrew from the track and the race resumed.

After that, there was a period of relative calm.

On lap 28, Gasly, ahead of Verstappen, received instructions from the team to relinquish fourth place to his team-mates and defend Leclerc in sixth.

On lap 36, Leclerc, who had been chasing Gasly for eight laps, finally found an opportunity in T3 on this lap and forced an outside line into the corner.

Relying on the advantage of tail speed, he took the outside line to block Gasly's line as he exited the corner, and the two wheels entered T4 together.

T4 is another right-hand corner, which is an advantage for Leclerc on the outside of T3.

In the end, Leclerc completed a clean and extremely beautiful overtake in T4.

It didn't take long for the main camera of the director to give Vettel in third place and Verstappen in fourth place.

Because the two cars are also going to start fighting.

And at this time, the three hosts in a live broadcast room were happily explaining the game.

Due to the early start of the game, Leclerc and Verstappen played against each other.

So the host Fei Ge said: "This round of offense and defense must be as exciting as Leclerc, otherwise it will be too disappointing." ”

The other two commentators also laughed and chimed in.

Then they didn't have to say anything, and on lap 38 at T15, Verstappen relied on DRS and wake to overtake Vettel on the outside before entering T15, the kind that relied on speed to eat raw.

Then a famous poisoned milk said, "Vettel has to fight back!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Vettel, who was following Verstappen, locked his front wheel after the braking point, and directly braked a puff of white smoke.

With the tyre locked up and losing his grip, Vettel's deceleration efficiency was also greatly reduced, and the shovel of Verstappen in front of him flew straight away.

For a while, on the track, in the P room, and in the studio, the commentators from all over the world were full of stunned.

Subsequently, because of the different positions, the performance of the people was also different.

There are those who gloat, those who hold their heads and find it difficult to accept, and those who pound the table and scold angrily, and so on.

Qin Miao now has a little more sense of identity with Ferrari because of his identity, so after seeing the picture of Vettel shoveling Verstappen, he also held his head in his hands, his face full of astonishment.

"This is Vettel's counterattack!"

……

Despite the chaos on the track, Vettel's torpedo behavior caused the crowd around the track to scream.

But the good news is that although both cars crashed into the gravel, neither of them got stuck in the gravel, and after a while of the wilderness, they were still able to drive into the track to continue the race, so there was no safety car in the race.

But Vettel's collision was a direct knock-on effect.

He and Verstappen's third and fourth places were not guaranteed, and it was inevitable that they would be surpassed by Leclerc and Gasly behind them.

Even though Vettel gave his place back to Verstappen, he ended up receiving a 10-second time penalty for the race.

This kind of punishment is considered a severe punishment in the game.

However, Vettel had a flat tire due to the locking of the front wheel, and the front nose wing was damaged, so he went straight back to the pits to replace the front nose wing, and when he came out, it was already a car with a ring.

So the 10-second penalty that the club added to him seemed somewhat insignificant.

There wasn't much to watch after that, except for the TR on lap 49 when Leclerc asked, "Where's Hamilton?" There was quite a bit of laughter.

The reason for this problem was that Leclerc found himself 5.6 seconds ahead of him with a Mercedes car, but all he could see was a Mercedes car.

So he thought there might be something wrong with Hamilton that caused the place to be gone, so he asked.

Then the team replied ruthlessly: "Hamilton is 26 seconds ahead of you." ”

It's a little ruthless.

Of course, this can only be regarded as a small episode, and nothing major happened in the second half of the race, except for the one with the Vettel torpedo.

In the end, the British Grand Prix ended with Haas withdrawing from the race, Arrow withdrawing from the race, a total of three cars withdrawing, and 17 cars finishing the race.

To the cheers of the crowd, it was Hamilton who won the race at home, his sixth consecutive British Grand Prix title in the UK.

The most outrageous thing is that he also used the white tires that ran 32 laps to brush the fastest lap of the whole race on the last lap and get a point.

P2 was won by Bottas, who also drove a Mercedes car.

Bottas didn't make any mistakes in this game, and the defense of Hamilton was also airtight at the start of the game.

It may be that the idea of the British people played a role, and he made a pit stop to change the tires and finally appeared in the safety car.

This is arguably the main reason why he lost the possibility of competing with Hamilton for the British Grand Prix.

The P3 finish was Leclerc, who was pit twice by the team.

To be honest, after watching this Grand Prix, Qin Miao felt that he was not afraid of wronging people by pulling everyone out of the Ferrari strategy team and shooting them.

Sprinkle rice on the command platform, and the chickens will make a strategy more than they will do.

In any case, although there were some twists and turns in the middle, Leclerc still relied on his excellent skills and a certain amount of luck to get the P3 position.

Hamilton then completed a slow ride at home, while the other two cars were back on the podium ahead of him.

It's interesting to say.

Qin Miao's friend Zhou Guanyu in F2 finished third in this place after the race.

And Qin Miao, who knew each other in F1, Leclerc, also won third in the race.

Thinking about this, Qin Miao touched his nose, isn't this his own reason?

In the post-race interview, Qin Miao didn't take Qiu Meng to join in the fun, after all, compared to the podium stage of F2, there are too many people around the podium stage of F1.

Rather than joining in the excitement as an audience, Qin Miao wants to be the person who is congratulated in the middle by the stars like the moon.

Qin Miao had a feeling that sooner or later, he would become one of the members standing on this podium.

The award process is still the same old-fashioned, and the video broadcast will be over when the award is over.

But in fact, F1 is indeed the main course of the British Grand Prix, but in a large banquet, it is impossible to have no dishes other than the main course, there will still be desserts, drinks and fruits and the like.

For these, Qin Miao and Qiu Meng didn't want to go, but after the race, the Ferrari team directly used a sightseeing car to pull all the VIP customers of their team over to participate in the event.

For example, after the race, the more than 20 VIPs who accompanied the group were taken by Ferrari to their large motorhome to watch the post-race summary of the Ferrari staff.

Although Leclerc ended up in P3, the person in charge of the post-race summary did not have a good face for his employees.

Then he watched the interviews with the drivers, and then obtained autographs from both drivers and a series of small gifts, which Ferrari was very kind to wrap in a bag.

This was followed by a dinner in the hotel where the VIPs were staying, in the presence of Ferrari's team manager Mr. Bi and both drivers.

Of course, this banquet is not like a traditional European high-end party, this banquet is very down-to-earth, there are no pianists to play, no suits and leather shoes, well-dressed waiters, it is more like a gathering of friends than a banquet, everyone sits together to eat, drink, and talk freely.

After the dinner, there was actually a concert prepared by Ferrari for VIPs.

But this thing was too elegant, and Qin Miao and Qiu Meng were not interested, so they went directly back to the hotel where they lived.

In the elevator, Qiu Meng leaned on Qin Miao's body a little tiredly.

"I also said that we would go back to China after the Grand Prix or something, but I didn't calculate that we still have to go to Italy." Qin Miao sighed helplessly.

Qiu Meng, who leaned her head on Qin Miao's shoulder, raised her head: "Dear." ”

Qin Miao lowered her head: "Huh? ”

"I checked just now, and our visa is a tourist visa, so there is no way to go directly to Maranello."

"It seems to be ......" Qin Miao scratched her head: "Then what should I do?" ”

Qiu Meng said: "It seems that you have to apply for a thing called a Schengen visa, and after applying for this visa, you can go to most EU countries, but it seems that you have to wait a week for a visa to get it after applying."

After getting up tomorrow, we will return the hotel, go to the city to book a new hotel, and then go to apply, I have checked the process almost, and then leave it to me. ”

Qin Miao sighed a little: "I feel like a waste without you by my side, and I won't be able to do anything." ”

Qiu Meng smiled and didn't speak.

I just have to raise you to be a waste who can only drive and play, and nothing else, and you won't be able to leave me when the time comes?

Hey, hey, hey......
