After a long illness, Qin Miao is a ruthless person with full defensive ability, so he naturally saw Verstappen's thoughts at the first time.

You don't want me to get into the corner, do you? Yes!

Qin Miao didn't hide either, what stood out was a barefoot person who wasn't afraid to wear shoes.

Straight into the corner with Verstappen wheelset wheels.

And Verstappen also braked early like Qin Miao overtook Leclerc and was ready to take the cross line.

As for Qin Miao, he directly braked and adjusted the balance backwards to ensure that the front wheels had enough steering power when braking, braked against Verstappen, and then leaned to the right like Verstappen's cornering rhythm to get a better cornering route.

During this process, the two cars kept wheels in the corner.

Verstappen, who was originally going to brake late and walk the crossing line, was stunned after discovering that Qin Miao had not surpassed him.

He just watched as his best bending route was directly blocked by Qin Miao.

Qin Miao can walk on the shoulder when exiting the corner, while Verstappen, who is on the inside of T3, can only eat the speed bump on the shoulder.

As for not letting out the best line, just crash out with Qin Miao?

In particular, Qin Miao is the No. 2 driver of Mercedes, Verstappen is the No. 1 driver of Red Bull no matter what, and Qin Miao is the No. 1 driver of Red Bull, and it is Verstappen and Red Bull who are exchanged for and lost, and what they earn is definitely Mercedes.

Although Verstappen does not seem to be smart on the field, and his defensive and offensive methods are very torpedoed, he still has a clear balance between profit and success and failure.

And with less than two seconds from braking into the corner to exiting the corner, there is basically no extra time for the drivers to think and weigh the pros and cons.

So after seeing that Qin Miao didn't leave space for himself, Verstappen, who knew that this game was very important to him, chose to avoid Qin Miao as soon as possible.

Because Verstappen pressed directly on the speed bump on the shoulder of the road when he entered the corner this time, the car was directly bounced up by the deceleration belt under the effect of suspension, and Verstappen's rhythm out of the corner was inevitably affected.

And Leclerc also picked up a wallet in the attack and defense between Qin Miao and Verstappen, and when Verstappen was still bouncing on the shoulder, Leclerc came behind Qin Miao and grabbed a second position.

By the time Verstappen returned to the track, he was surrounded by two Ferraris.

After Qin Miao completed this overtaking, I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, after the on-site director determined that there was no other overtaking picture on the track, he immediately gave the camera to the perspective of Toto Wolf, the leader of the Meiben team.

Although Hamilton fell out of the championship competition due to a mistake at this time, Qin Miao's sudden outburst reassured all the fans of the Meiben team.

When Toto saw this picture, he clenched his fist with his right hand and shouted, "Nice! ”

The audience could clearly see the bulging green tendons between Toto's neck.

Although the audience couldn't hear what Toto shouted specifically, it could be seen from his performance and movements that Qin Miao's performance just now made Toto very satisfied.

Of course, Qin Miao's overtaking in this controversial way naturally brought about the complaints of the Red Bull Racing staff at the race, the verbal criticism of Red Bull fans on Twitter, and the telegrams sent by Verstappen in TR.

Verstappen: "****! **********！ ********！ ”

But if you insist on saying it, Qin Miao's operation is really no problem.

Because Qin Miao braked late when he entered T2, although the two were wheel-to-wheel, Qin Miao's front of the car was more or less exceeded, so the front of his car was actually in front of Verstappen, and Qin Miao had the right to the line.

And Verstappen has squeezed his opponent off the track in this way a lot of times, so except for Red Bull fans who will be extremely angry after seeing Qin Miao's approach, most of the passers-by who know Verstappen will only sigh at Qin Miao's behavior: "Top defense!" ”

After hearing Verstappen's words, Verstappen's track engineers could only persuade Verstappen to calm down and keep racing.

As for Qin Miao and Mei Ben's fans, after seeing Qin Miao's operation:

"Hahahaha!"

"Awesome!"

"That's right! That's how to prevent Verstappen! ”

"Defend Verstappen with Verstappen-style defense!"

"Hard!"

……

After the corner, Qin Miao came to the leading position, and behind him was still Ferrari's Leclerc, behind Leclerc was Verstappen, behind Verstappen was Sainz, followed by Hamilton and Norris.

That's right, after Qin Miao passed Verstappen in T2, Hamilton also relied on a better starting speed than Norris to get a faster straight-line speed, and overtook Norris on the big straight before T2.

Norris also knew that his start was not too good, so he did not make any unnecessary moves in the face of Hamilton's attack, and directly let Hamilton go.

After all, he also has to watch out for the driver Riccardo behind Hamilton, if he gets into a fight with Hamilton at this time, Ricciardo behind him may pick up his advantage.

So after weighing the pros and cons, he didn't choose to defend Hamilton.

After Hamilton overtook Norris in front of him, both Mercedes drivers overtook their drivers in front of them in T2 at the start.

For the rest of the race, there was not much change in the top six positions, there were no good overtaking points for the next two time periods, and the course conditions improved so there were no mistakes after pressing into the wet.

On lap 48, after this lap, the race will turn on the DRS, but the DRS on this lap has nothing to do with the top 10 drivers, because they have already passed the DRS monitoring point after the DRS is turned on, and there is only one DRS monitoring point on the Imola track, so this lap is basically like this.

However, Leclerc still found something wrong, that is, Qin Miao in front of him has been running the race at a tire-friendly pace, and his ERS has been used for a short time.

According to Leclerc's game experience, he could tell at a glance that Qin Miao was charging his battery.

The most important thing is that his lap speed is still about 0.3 faster than Qin Miao, but he can't surpass the other party......

Qin Miao can always rely on some ways not to violate the rules when Leclerc has an idea, and get the car stuck on the key node of Leclerc's advancement, which makes Leclerc extremely uncomfortable, aggrieved and misses a great opportunity to overtake.

Leclerc couldn't figure it out, what was Qin Miao trying to do this?

Shouldn't the first time you have an advantage be to open up the distance between you and the car behind you? What are you doing here? Aren't you afraid that after I finish this lap, I will rely on DRS and ERS to eat you raw on the starting straight?

However, Leclerc soon ran out of such thoughts, as Verstappen attacked him behind him.

In the V-shaped turn of T7, Verstappen jammed Leclerc's inside line with a late brake, trying to replicate Qin Miao's operation to squeeze Leclerc out of the track when T7 came out of the corner.

Leclerc, of course, was not a soft persimmon, and immediately thought of a way to crack Verstappen's intentions.

Isn't it just a cross line, which driver hasn't used this way to defend against enemy attacks or overtake in this way?

Leclerc took advantage of the situation to let Verstappen go first, and he took a cross line, and after the corner, he relied on more speed to regain his position.

After a struggle, the gap between Qin Miao and Leclerc was directly pulled away from 0.6 seconds to 0.9 seconds, which shows how much speed will be lost if a corner does not take a normal line.

On lap 49, Verstappen behind Leclerc turned on his DRS, but Leclerc himself also had DRS, and like Verstappen, he had the wake of the driver in front of him, so although Verstappen's attack narrowed the distance between himself and Leclerc, he was unable to create an opportunity to surpass Leclerc.

The gap between Qin Miao and Leclerc has only shrunk from 0.9 to 0.3, and Leclerc has not been able to surpass Qin Miao, so the top three positions remain unchanged.

As in the front, in the first lap after the restart, except for the position gained after Qin Miao squeezed Verstappen out of the track, there was no change in the position of the first group.

As the game progressed, Leclerc gradually discovered that something was wrong, that is, Qin Miao's speed seemed to be a little slower.

However, he could not think too much about it, and behind him, Verstappen relied on his racing performance to attack again.

T15 out of the corner, Verstappen behind him is obviously faster than Leclerc, Leclerc found out that he was naturally the first time to defend his inner line, Verstappen's exit speed is faster than his own, it is impossible to stop the opponent from tapping, and now Leclerc can only do to jam the inside line when entering the corner, so as not to let Verstappen have a comfortable cornering angle.

It's best to go off the track at the center of the corner because Verstappen has a bad angle into the corner.

But the good news is that Qin Miao's entry into the corner this time was also slow, just blocking Leclerc's outside line, Verstappen's inner line was blocked by Leclerc, and Qin Miao's Mei Ben blocked the outside line, even if Verstappen and Leclerc were side by side, when they came out of the corner, the speed was not as fast as Qin Miao because of the poor angle of entering the corner.

So Verstappen's attack ended in nothing, and Leclerc held it without danger.

On the fiftieth lap, Qin Miao led the drivers all the way to the finish line, then crossed T1, and started a new round of fighting in T2.

Qin Miao had a grappling because the two cars behind him were in the T17 position, because of their dogfight, Qin Miao got another respite, so when he entered T2, Qin Miao still sat firmly on the Diaoyu Tai, pulling away Leclerc and Verstappen behind him into a body corner.

Verstappen lost a lot of rhythm because of the mistake of overtaking in T17 in the previous lap, although he was not overtaken by the car behind him, but in T2 on this lap, Verstappen was not able to find a chance to overtake Leclerc before T2 even if he had DRS.

However, Hamilton in the back gave the Mercedes team a reassurance, because he relied on DRS and ERS and wake in the T2 position, and killed Sainz in front of him directly on the straight.

Sainz struggled and tried to defend, compress Hamilton's approach to the corner or something.

It's a pity that in the face of a huge speed difference of 20 kilometers per hour, all Sainz's operations were in vain.

The standings changed again and with thirteen laps to go, Hamilton had moved up two positions on a new set of soft tyres to fourth, ahead of Verstappen, who was in close proximity to Leclerc.

To be honest, after Hamilton overtook Sainz, he really had an unreal feeling when he looked at the three cars 2 seconds ahead, Qin Miao was really so good at blocking it?

said to help himself block, just help himself block, the key is how he blocked to the first place?

And the lineup in front of you doesn't do lap times? Just fighting? The race has already started three laps and only opened up a two-second gap?

And Verstappen in front of him was also anxious, but he really couldn't help it.

After being squeezed out of the track by Qin Miao, fortunately, the car was not damaged, but the two attacks he tried were blocked by Leclerc.

After two failed attacks, Verstappen watched Hamilton catch up behind him, and the pressure gradually pressed on Verstappen's heart.

On the fifty-second lap, Qin Miao still maintained his rhythm, and although Leclerc behind him wanted to get rid of Verstappen's attack, Qin Miao blocked it in front of him, and he had to look at Qin Miao's face if he wanted to get rid of Verstappen's attack.

And on T2, the corner that is most likely to surpass Qin Miao, Verstappen behind him will always covet his position and attack himself, which makes Leclerc have to defend.

So after two more laps, Leclerc still didn't overturn Qin Miao, and the good news is that Verstappen didn't overtake Leclerc, but he still lost a lot of speed in the bucket with Leclerc and was still trapped in the third position.

The bad news was that Hamilton had already run two laps in the clean air and was in the DRS zone within a second of Verstappen.

T2 again.

Leclerc and Verstappen behind Qin Miao were still nervous, ready to have another wave of offense and defense in this circle.

Leclerc still held the inside line, but thinking of Qin Miao's defensive behavior of directly squeezing himself into the track line, Leclerc left a certain distance on the inside line at this time, which was only about 0.7 cars wide.

In this way, no matter how much Verstappen compresses his space, he will always have a certain angle of entry into the corner.

And Leclerc doesn't have much room to spare, and there is no possibility of letting the rear car take advantage of the loophole.
