The racers in the middle of the line hung in neutral and pressed the accelerator slightly.

Qin Miao didn't know how the others started, but he kept his engine speed at about 6,000 rpm, staring at the five red lights above, and then pressing the clutch button after the five red lights went out.

In the roar of the twenty-one F2 engines, the five red lights went out, Qin Miao also pressed the clutch button at the same time, the clutch gear was coupled with the engine, and the rear wheel of the red Prema car was instantly activated, driving the car to the starting grid.

Qin Miao had a perfect start this time, much better than Zhou Guanyu, and his reaction was at least 0.2 seconds faster.

0.2 seconds may feel like a split second, but it's definitely a big advantage in the millisecond race of racing.

So before the traffic entered T1, Qin Miao had already surpassed Zhou Guanyu and came to the first position by relying on his excellent starting ability.

After making sure that he had rushed to the first position and that Zhou Guanyu had no threat to him, Qin Miao glanced at the car behind him.

Because after he surpassed Zhou Guanyu, he didn't make too many moves, just guarded his outside line, and wanted to use a wider track width or faster exit speed after the corner.

Zhou Guanyu didn't do this to attack Qin Miao, and with his understanding of Qin Miao, it was really too difficult to overtake Qin Miao after being overtaken by Qin Miao, Qin Miao's defensive ability was extremely terrifying, and Zhou Guanyu really didn't have the confidence to surpass Qin Miao.

So all of his moves were to defend his teammates, that is, another driver who started on a par with Qin Miao: Callum Ilot.

Although this car is red, this is actually a driver from the same team as Zhou Guanyu, but this person and Qin Miao are from the same academy team, and they are both Ferrari.

Because the start was good enough, after Qin Miao surpassed Zhou Guanyu, Ilote also relied on his speed to surpass Zhou Guanyu on the inside.

So just one start, Zhou Guanyu dropped two positions, from first to third.

"Five red lights go out, game begins!"

"Qin Miao's start is very good, and he surpassed Zhou Guanyu directly before entering T1!"

"Zhou Guanyu's teammate Ilot's start was equally impressive, and he started second in two positions just by starting fourth!"

"However, Zhou Guanyu firmly stood on the outside line, and even if Ilot surpassed Zhou Guanyu in the initial stage, he had to take the inside line when he entered T1."

As Brother Bing said, although Zhou Guanyu dropped two positions at the start, he held the outside line when T1 came out of the corner, so he had a higher speed out of the corner than Ilot, who took the inside line, and Zhou Guanyu had a clear speed advantage in the big straight between T1 and T3 behind.

So after entering the straight, Zhou Guanyu began to chase after Ilott at a speed visible to the naked eye.

hasn't even reached T2, which has a low sense of existence, and Zhou Guanyu is tapping on the outside.

also because Zhou Guanyu took the outside line before entering T2, so when he turned right at T2, Zhou Guanyu directly surpassed Ilot's body by half of the body.

But next was a low-speed right turn, and Ilot, who was walking on the inside line, could squeeze into the inside line by relying on the late brakes to overtake Zhou Guanyu.

Even when he came out of the corner from T1, Ilot's holding on to the inside line was this kind of thought.

And at this critical moment, Zhou Guanyu's good brother, Qin Miao, made a move.

He has always been in the lead, in fact, T1 and T2 two corners can open up at least two body distances from the rear car.

But at the initial stage, he noticed that Zhou Guanyu was not doing well, and he was still a little worried about his good child, and found Zhou Guanyu in T2 and began to fight with Ilot.

So when T3 entered the corner, he slowed down a little bit, and when he turned, he didn't take a wider line, but cut the shoulder.

Qin Miao was faster than the two of them, and when the front of his car was aligned with the center of the bend, it was just when Zhou Guanyu and Irot came to the back of Qin Miao's car.

At this time, Qin Miao's body just blocked Ilot's line, and gave way to Zhou Guanyu's line on the outside line.

Although Qin Miao risked being pouted by Ilot, Qin Miao also knew that Ilot, a player who had a chance to win the podium in the first race of 2020, could not be so careless.

So he was relieved to boldly block his line.

And the truth is just as Qin Miao thought.

Facing Qin Miao's body almost across in front of him, Ilotte reluctantly chose to slow down, while Zhou Guanyu on the side happened to see the stitches, got rid of the entanglement with Ilot, passed T3 smoothly, and won the second position with Qin Miao's push.

"Zhou Guanyu! Relying on T1's outside speed advantage, he managed to catch up with Ilott on the back straight! ”

"Wheels side by side! T2 leans on the outside line! Is there a chance of overtaking in T3? ”

Zhou Haoran said: "It is estimated that it is impossible, Ilotte can block Zhou Guanyu's line with just one foot of late braking here." ”

As soon as Zhou Haoran's voice fell, there was a situation on the screen that Qin Miao blocked Ilote because of a line problem, and gave up Zhou Guanyu's position.

"Qin Miao?! Qin Miao blocked Ilot's inside line when he entered the corner! Phineas exclaimed.

Brother Bing couldn't help it: "Hahaha, in this way, Zhou Guanyu didn't lose too many positions, and the top two are all Chinese drivers." ”

And at this time, Zhou Haoran, who was also full of happiness and relief written on his face, asked coldly: "Qin Miao, could this be an opportunity deliberately created for Zhou Guanyu?" ”

Before the other two commentators answered, Zhou Haoran told the reason for his analysis: "I have watched the video of Qin Miao in the qualifying match, and he usually walks on the outside line when he is in T3, and he will not take the inside line to cut the shoulder of the road like he just did......"

The entire studio was silent, and then the three commentators analyzed the possibility of this incident.

On the field, after helping Zhou Guanyu clear the siege and making sure that he would not be attacked by Ilotte in a short time, Qin Miao began to run his own rhythm.

However, Qin Miao still gave Zhou Guanyu a hand, because Qin Miao did not follow the team's arrangement when running his rhythm, and first pushed forward with all his strength to open the distance of at least 2 seconds from the rear car.

After Qin Miao passed T3 and determined that Zhou Guanyu's position was kept, he began to protect the tire at his own pace.

If Zhou Guanyu can catch up with his rhythm, then Qin Miao doesn't mind letting Zhou Guanyu keep up with him, as for Zhou Guanyu's attack.

Just kidding, his 100 top-level defensive ability, plus he still drives a regulated car, if Zhou Guanyu can surpass Qin Miao in the game, Qin Miao will play games in the future and give him a P250.

However, after the game, Zhou Guanyu not only failed to surpass Qin Miao, but even if Qin Miao was running with the rhythm of tire protection, Zhou Guanyu in the back car had to push to the limit if he wanted to keep up with Qin Miao.

And Zhou Guanyu can barely keep up with Qin Miao when he can suck Qin Miao's wake flow, although Ilot, who lost his rhythm because of Qin Miao's dirty routine, is still ranked third, but because of that braking, he was pulled away by Qin Miao and Zhou Guanyu for at least 1.5 seconds.

And this gap is still gradually widening at a speed that is visible to the naked eye, and by the end of the first lap, the gap has reached 1.7 seconds, the second lap is 2.1 seconds, and the third lap is 2.9 seconds.

Basically, Qin Miao is at least 0.6 seconds faster than Ilote on every lap.

And Zhou Guanyu was also thrown 1 second away by Qin Miao before the game turned on DRS.

It's not that Zhou Guanyu doesn't want to chase it, it's mainly that he really can't catch up.

Even if he could barely suck Qin Miao's wake, the gap between the two was still widening by Qin Miao.

From Zhou Guanyu's point of view, Qin Miao's routing is as if it is controlled by a machine, whether it is braking, entering corners, cutting corners, or exiting corners, every step is done just right, and it is wonderful to the peak, pushing the car to the limit with as little tire wear as possible.

And Zhou Guanyu will have some flaws more or less when driving.

Compared with Qin Miao, it may just be a corner, braking one meter later or one meter earlier, and the angle of entering the corner is smaller or larger, which basically will not have much impact on the speed.

But the little things add up, and over time, Zhou Guanyu can't catch up with Qin Miao even if he pushes with all his might.

So after lap 3, Zhou Guanyu was also honest and started to run his own rhythm.

And then......

Qin Miao and Zhou Guanyu have no camera.

On the seventh lap, Qin Miao opened the distance of Zhou Guanyu by 2.5 seconds, and even pulled away from Ilote by 3.6 seconds.

Because it's an F2 race, the director prefers to give the camera to more F2 drivers.

When those curves with relatively large angles appeared in the broadcast screen, Qin Miao's car was basically not visible.

Because by the time F2's large force appeared in the camera, Qin Miao had already run through this bend and began to move towards the next bend.

On the eighth lap, Qin Miao refreshed her fastest lap time: 1:17:667.

On the ninth lap, Qin Miao completed the lap for the first time in F2 against other racers, and the unlucky person who was lapped was elementary school student Yuki Tsunoda.

This buddy seems to have encountered a mechanical failure and entered a station, and when he came out, he was not far in front of Qin Miao, Qin Miao caught up with him in two laps, and then easily completed the ring on him by relying on the blue flag.

On lap 11, Great Britain's Jack Aitken made his first pit stop and switched to hard tyres.

There were 29 laps left before the end of the race.

At the same time, Qin Miao once again broke her fastest lap record: 1:17:555.

On the twelfth lap, the pit window opened, and three cars pit for tire changes.

On lap 13, the time gap between Qin Miao and Zhou Guanyu came to 6.5 seconds, while the gap between Zhou Guanyu and his teammate Ilott widened slightly: 1.7 seconds.

Seeing the gap between Qin Miao and Zhou Guanyu, Bing Gerui commented: "This is completely F1 drivers delegating F2 to fry fish......"

On the eighteenth lap, Zhou Guanyu made a pit stop to change the tire, and the tire changer performed perfectly, with a total time of 6.2 seconds.

Zhou Guanyu came out of the pit stop and settled in sixth place, ahead of Russian rider Artem Makarov, who did not make a pit stop.

On lap 22, basically all the team drivers made a pit stop to change the hard tyres, and the reason why it is basically said is that Qin Miao was still running with that set of soft tyres at this time, and refreshed his fastest lap on this lap: 1:17:332.

Seeing this, Fei Ge couldn't help but exclaim: "Which crack in the stone did this Qin Miao pop out of?" Strong starting ability, defensive ability is just a glimpse, and now the ability to protect the tire is so terrifying, the soft tire that has run 22 laps can still refresh its fastest lap record? ”

I almost said that this son is so terrifying, and he will become a big weapon in the future.

At this time, the time gap between Qin Miao and Zhou Guanyu, who had already entered the station, came to 42.7 seconds.

But at this time, Qin Miao still had no intention of pitting, with the blessing of skills and his deliberate driving style of protecting tires, the average wear of Qin Miao's soft tires was only 31%, and even the cliff point of grip was not reached.

Cliff PointAs the name suggests, tire wear has a strong correlation with tire grip.

As the tires wear out, the grip of the tires will gradually decrease, and this downward trend in grip is very gentle.

When the tires wear out to a certain extent, the speed of the decline in grip will suddenly increase, and this place is the cliff point of the tires.

On lap 26, Zhou Guanyu's car couldn't hang up the gearbox after the T1 corner, although it didn't stop directly on the track, but because it couldn't hang up the higher gear, the speed dropped very seriously.

On the twenty-seventh lap, Zhou Guanyu entered the pit stop for maintenance, and when he came out again, he had already fallen off the tail of the team, just in front of Qin Miao.

Seeing Zhou Guanyu in front of him, Qin Miao was stunned for a while.

I wondered if I didn't pit for a tire change, why did Zhou Guanyu give me an under cut?

After asking in TR, I found out that there was something wrong with Zhou Guanyu's car.

Looking at the unlucky guy in front of him with some pity, Qin Miao replied to Frankie that he knew.

And on the side of Five-Star Sports, the three commentators all sighed after knowing Zhou Guanyu's car failure, after all, in the situation just now, it is a sure thing for Qin Miao to bring back the second starting championship, and with Zhou Guanyu's performance, the second round is also a handle.

But under the good situation, Zhou Guanyu's car pulled his crotch.

How can this not make the domestic audience who are watching this game feel sorry.

On lap 29, Qin Miao's persistence paid off when Force India's academy driver Artem Makarov's car suffered an engine failure on the big straight between T1 and T2 where Zhou Guanyu's car failed.

Unlike Zhou Guanyu, Zhou Guanyu can still drive the car back and repair it if he insists on it, while his car is a direct engine and can't be lit when it stalls.

As a result, the race team took the opportunity to convert the yellow flag into a safety car when the yellow flag was presented.

And Qin Miao, who has not made a pit stop for 29 laps, has just entered the cliff point at this time, and although the grip has begun to decline rapidly, it can still hold on for another lap or two.

However, now that there is a free pit stop opportunity for a safety car, Qin Miao naturally will not let it go, and he pit for white tires.

At the same time, after seeing Qin Miao entering the station, it was still the familiar conference room of Ferrari, Binotto put away his notebook and left here with Resta.

Sui Wentao and they have trained to change tires in private, so this tire change went smoothly.

And he knew that Qin Miao had a great speed advantage, even if they changed each tire for 5 seconds, Qin Miao was still in first place when he went out, so there was no psychological pressure when he changed tires.

Qin Miao still maintained his position when he came out, and behind him was Zhou Guanyu's teammate Ilot, and behind Ilott was Qin Miao's teammate Mick Schumacher.

It wasn't easy for this guy to finish sixth on the grid and chase all the way to third.

The rise of the Prema team was already predictable at this time.

Qin Miao, who fried fish in F2 as soon as he appeared, and Michael Schumacher, who chased all the way from sixth to third.

To say that Prema will not win the championship this year is intolerable.
