191:Golden Skill Effect (6K, 7/20)
When the camera cuts over, Yuki Tsunoda's Little Red Bull car is parked at the junction of T11 and T12 on the track.
Because some Japanese media have praised Tsunoda's performance in the first race to get points in the media.
As for Qin Miao, who won the runner-up in the first game, he was directly ignored, what kind of car did you Qin Miao drive? Mars rover! Mercedes Benz, W12.
And what kind of car does I drive in Tsunoda? Little Red Bull, the car of the geocentric group, the two are not comparable at all.
Is it as difficult for you to get points as I am Tsunoda-kun?
You're not a good person, you're just a good car, and if you let Tsunoda drive the Mercedes, he can even challenge Hamilton's position in the Mercedes team.
As for Qin Miao's victory in Imola, and Qin Miao's dominance of the whole season in F2, of course, it was directly ignored.
This double-standard face saw that the three commentators and many domestic car fans were angry.
So after seeing Tsunoda's retirement, the three commentators shouted directly in the studio: "Oh, Tsunoda, the Japanese driver who has high hopes." And the driver who was thought to be a potential future world champion just quit the race, haha....... ”
The commentators who followed just laughed and gloated, which was meaningful.
Because Tsunoda's racing engine was stalled, the car came to a stop on the outside of the corner.
It took another half minute to make sure Tsunoda could no longer start his car before the safety car was deployed.
Mercedes actually began to consider whether to let Qin Miao pit stop after Tsunoda introduced the safety car, and with Qin Miao's tire protection ability, he might be able to run the whole race directly with a set of neutral tires.
But there are risks associated with doing so.
Because when Qin Miao was conducting a long-distance test in the practice session, the cliff point of the neutral tire was about 50 laps, but now there are still 57 laps before the end.
In other words, if Qin Miao chooses to pit and change tires at this time, then he will run extremely struggling in the last seven laps of the race.
Toto's heart is still more inclined to let Qin Miao continue to be outside, and he only retired due to a car failure in the last game, and this game is a little too risky.
However, he still asked Qin Miao: "Qin Miao, the safety car is out, but our plan remains the same, we can change you to neutral tires, what do you think?" ”
It may seem to outsiders that Toto's words are a little incomprehensible.
But Qin Miao, as a member of Mei Ben, can understand Toto's words.
What Toto means is pretty much the same one-stop plan, and we can put you on medium tyres and run the whole race.
As for why not choose hard tyres.
This is mainly due to the fact that the hard tyres are so slow, one second slower per lap than the medium tyres and more than two seconds slower than the soft tyres, and there is no value for money at all.
Suddenly receiving Toto's TR, Qin Miao looked at Verstappen and Hamilton in front of him, and then glanced at Leclerc behind him.
A slight calculation in my heart:
If the race had been on soft tyres until the 24-lap pit stop window and then pit for tyres according to the team's original plan, he would not have been able to run the whole race less than Hamilton in any case, and would probably not even be able to overtake Verstappen.
So instead of continuing to eat ash behind the first two dead perverted butts, it's better to take a gamble.
What if? What if you get good grades? What if there is another safety car on the track after the pit stop window opens?
"Okay, BOX." Qin Miao was ruthless in her heart.
After all, he was young, and for these overly risky plans, Qin Miao nodded and agreed without thinking too much.
Qin Miao's sudden consent only made the Meiben strategy team who proposed this plan start to have a headache, because they had to start paying attention to Qin Miao's tire status after making a pit stop.
So the audience and commentators were a little stunned to see that the Meiben car driven by Qin Miao drove directly into the pit lane.
And with the help of the team staff, a set of medium tyres was put on, and the total time was 2.1 seconds.
It doesn't matter how many seconds it takes to change a tire during the safety car, what the audience is really stunned about is why Qin Miao chose to pit at this point in time to change the tire.
And after the director gave Qin Miao a picture of the pit stop to change tires, he also released the call record of the communication between the team and Qin Miao just now.
Fei Ge and several commentators suddenly realized: "This is what Qin Miao thinks by himself?" ”
Zhou Haoran analyzed: "If you enter the pit stop at this time, Qin Miao should want to stop twice." ”
Brother Bing suddenly interjected with some curiosity: "Do you think it is possible to run a set of yellow tires directly?" ”
"How is this possible?" Feige was the first to stand up and object: "There are still fifty-seven laps left, and it is impossible for the yellow tires to run the whole race anyway." ”
Zhou Haoran also echoed: "Indeed, it should be two stops, and the yellow tires can't run the whole game." ”
……
In addition to Qin Miao during the safety car, Arrow's Giovinaz also chose to pit stop, and then Williams' Russell and Latifi also chose to pit on lap 10.
Both both, like Giovinaz, switched from soft to medium tyres.
And after they came out of the corner, they naturally fell at the back of the line.
Qin Miao went in because the safety car just came out, so she didn't fall too far after coming out, and just fell seventh.
Behind O'Connell, in front of Sainz.
After determining the position he was in, Qin Miao adjusted the settings of his racing car, and the ERS began to save money, and the wiring began to go straight forward, only pursuing the protection of tires.
Qin Miao naturally knew that he would not be able to run a complete race on neutral tires under normal driving, so he had to protect the tires from now on.
In order to protect the tires, Qin Miao didn't grind the tires much during the time he followed the safety car.
By the middle of lap 10, Tsunoda's car had been removed from the track, and the safety car's roof lights were extinguished.
On lap 10 of T15, Hamilton pressed the car a little and then got off to a sharp start.
Because Qin Miao couldn't see Hamilton's car, naturally Hamilton didn't give Qin Miao a code, so he started on his own and opened the gap between himself and Verstappen as much as possible.
Qin Miao's starting reaction speed was faster than that of Aokang in front of him, but because the temperature of Qin Miao's racing tires was too low, the grip was not enough for the power output provided by his engine.
And after the start, there are two combination corners of the track, T14 and T15, and Qin Miao can't overtake here.
So after the start, Qin Miao's position remained the same.
However, Qin Miao was not in a hurry because he fell behind Aokang, waiting, after the DRS was opened, it was not too difficult for a Mercedes with DRS to overtake an Alpine.
In fact, Qin Miao still felt a little emotional in her heart after seeing Aokang in front of her, because the first F1 driver Qin Miao saw in reality was Aokang.
I still remember that it was in Shanghai, and Qin Miao took advantage of Boss Zhou's light to participate in an event.
At that time, Qin Miao could only look at Aokang in the distance from the perspective of a passerby.
There is really a feeling: "I was eighteen years old, and I stood like a minion".
Touching the scene, Qin Miao easily threw his skill [Flood Beast] on Ao Kang.
After all, Qin Miao's tires are very tight now, and Qin Miao has to carefully calculate his tire wear when he overtakes every rider in front of him.
To Qin Miao's surprise, when he used this skill on Verstappen, the initial pressure on Verstappen increased from 0%.
And after using it on O'Con, his initial pressure was as high as 26%.
Qin Miao didn't understand, but he was shocked.
Why is Ocon so stressed?
I didn't do anything.
In fact, the French found that Qin Miao fell behind him after standing up, and the pressure brought by the Meiben Mars rover came to his face.
Although the French knew in their hearts that they were not in competition with Qin Miao at all, their natural competitiveness made the French not want to give up their position so easily.
So he put a certain amount of pressure on himself, you Qin Miao can surpass me, but when you surpass me, you have to pay a price no matter what.
But what Aokang didn't expect was that when Qin Miao came behind him within 1.5 seconds, Qin Miao's sense of presence in the car suddenly increased, and Qin Miao's red helmet, which was not suitable for Meiben's black body at all, had a particularly strong presence in Aokang's retina, and every time he looked in the rearview mirror in the overtaking area, Aokang would subconsciously look at the red helmet.
Then Qin Miao found that the closer he got to Aokang's car, the faster his pressure increased.
After all, Meiben's car was faster than Alpine, and even if Qin Miao took the route of keeping the tires, he also stuck to 0.4 seconds behind Ao Kang on lap 12.
Then Qin Miao saw that Aokang's pressure level increased by 1% per corner.
Before the race could reopen DRS, on lap 12 at T7 and T8, when the pressure level reached 40%, Ocon made a mistake and went too big out of the corner, pressing the right rear wheel against the sausage shoulder in the T8 corner.
The rear wheels of the AuCom car were directly bounced off the shoulder, and although the car finally fell back to the track, and AuCom pulled the car back to the track through his superb skills, but Aucon's cornering speed was greatly affected.
Because of this, Qin Miao didn't even take the overtaking line when he overtook Aokang, and easily surpassed Aokang by relying on the normal line.
After surpassing Aokang, Qin Miao's ranking came to sixth.
Three seconds ahead is Pérez.
Although it has only been two laps since the restart of the race, Ao Kang has not done the lap speed seriously in these two laps, and he is all thinking about how to defend Qin Miao like a lion, and the speed will naturally not be fast.
However, Aokang behind him was already left behind by Qin Miao when he was overtaken by Qin Miao, and his mistake directly threw him out of Qin Miao's DRS area.
However, O'Con didn't actually lose anything, because he was already in seventh place, and now he is just back to where he should be.
It is worth mentioning that Sainz has actually been following Qin Miao for 1.7 seconds, and like Leclerc, Sainz and Qin Miao have been following very hard, and the ERS power is only not coming in and out, and it looks like it is about to bottom out.
But despite this, all he could do was barely ensure that the gap between himself and Qin Miao would not continue to widen.
There is a saying that has been circulating in Ferrari lately.
This statement said: Qin Miao is more talented than Sainz, if Qin Miao does not leave but continues to stay in Ferrari, now Ferrari's points cannot be said to be stepping on Red Bull to punch Mercedes, but it can definitely surpass McLaren, and then compete with Red Bull.
And there are quite a few people who agree with this statement.
And this talk reached Sainz's ears.
Sainz must have been furious, and no one could stand his girlfriend saying that his ex-boyfriend was better than him.
Whether it is public opinion in the Ferrari team, or facing Qin Miao on the field.
Qin Miao, who was driving the Meiben racing car, was so fast on the field that Sainz couldn't even see the taillights, what to chase? How can you prove that you are no worse than Qin Miao?
Originally, Sainz could comfort himself by relying on Mercedes's car to be better than Ferrari's car, but just now, just now, Qin Miao was walking the tire protection line, while Sainz was taking the normal route, and he was even using the DRS of his own car at any cost, but despite this, Sainz still couldn't get close to Qin Miao, and the gap between the two was gradually widening.
Even Sainz had a feeling that after Qin Miao found out that the driver behind him was him, Qin Miao didn't even look back at himself.
A sense of frustration and powerlessness instantly enveloped Sainz.
But don't say that Sainz was right.
Qin Miao breathed a sigh of relief when she found out that there was Sainz behind her, and then she did directly ignore his existence.
After surpassing Aokang, Qin Miao began to pursue Perez.
Pérez only joined Red Bull this year, and the Red Bull car is completely tuned and developed according to Verstappen's driving habits.
So at this time, Master Pei's speed was not very fast, and he was caught up by Qin Miao after four laps.
At this time, Qin Miao had no skills, and Qin Miao also knew that this was not the time to protect the fetus, because of Pérez's identity, in order not to put pressure on Verstappen, Pérez would definitely do his best to defend himself.
And after a while, Qin Miao heard Frankie's notice: "Red Bull has given Perez a death order, and he will defend you with all his might." ”
Qin Miao was surprised, but still asked, "How is the state of my tires?" ”
The question probably means: "Will the tires I saved over the last few laps support me to attack Pérez in the rest of the race?" ”
Frankie was able to understand: "The tyres are in good shape, better than we expected, keep it up." ”
The approximate meaning of this sentence: "There's a margin, fuck it!" ”
Qin Miao glanced at the ERS battery reserve on her steering wheel again: 87%.
So what else is there to say,.
Although Qin Miao can't use his skills anymore on the follow-up track, it's not that he can't put pressure on people if he doesn't use skills.
Qin Miao is stuck in the range of 0.2 seconds ~ 0.5 seconds behind Perez, as long as it is an overtaking point, Qin Miao will slightly pull half of the body out.
This type of pressure is an effective way to put pressure on the car in front, but it does not lose speed because you are too aggressive.
However, when the cars of Red Bull and Mercedes are similar in performance, it takes a more suitable opportunity to overtake the car in front of them without losing too many tires.
And Qin Miao waited for this opportunity after the T15 on lap 19.
Qin Miao found that when Perez came out of the corner, the right tire shoulder was eaten too much, and it was slightly on the shoulder.
After Qin Miao discovered this, she immediately turned on the ERS when she came out of the corner.
At the same time, it also gives a kick to the limit of the violent throttle.
The driving style, which had been considered mild, suddenly changed, and began to accelerate violently.
Pérez also knew that he had made a mistake because of the pressure Qin Miao gave him, and after passing the T16, he began to draw dragons on the track to prevent Qin Miao from sucking his wake.
At this time, Qin Miao couldn't take care of the tires, no matter how big the amplitude of Perez's dragon painting was, Qin Miao could keep up with the rhythm of Perez's dragon painting.
After turning on the DRS on the starting straight, Qin Miao approached Verstappen faster, and Qin Miao was already side by side with Pérez halfway through the straight.
Pérez, who defended the inside, had nothing to do at this time, and he could only hope that he could use a late brake in T1 to make up for his mistake.
It's a pity that the speed loss caused by Perez's mistake was a little too great, coupled with Qin Miao's full effort, Qin Miao completed the overtaking of this Red Bull on the outside line before entering T1.
And looking at the Mercedes that had already arrived in front of him on the starting straight, all Pérez could do was sigh.
It's too fast, it's really too fast.
"Well done!" After witnessing Qin Miao's overtaking, Frankie said excitedly in TR.
In fact, Qin Miao was still a little nervous when he surpassed Pérez, after all, this was a Red Bull, and he also knew that Pérez would try his best to defend himself at all costs.
But when everyone thought that the two would have a bayonet competition, Qin Miao just encountered a mistake by Perez.
In this case, surpassing Pérez brought Qin Miao a sense of surprise that was happier than receiving a gift from Zhou Guanyu on his birthday.
This wave of Qin Miao was purely a fluke to pick up a big bargain, if Perez didn't have that mistake, Qin Miao would still attack this time, but Super Perez was definitely not as easy as it is now.
After getting to fifth, Frankie said: "Then go into cruise mode. ”
Qin Miao looked at Ricardo in front of him with some pity, he was less than three seconds away from him, if his tires were enough, he could really kill him within three laps.
But it couldn't be helped, all the tyre margins that had been saved just so many laps were used up when they surpassed Pérez.
If you overtake Ricardo in front of you, Qin Miao's tires will really not be enough.
In the next few laps, Qin Miao started to do long distances with the rhythm of protecting the tires.
In order to protect the fetus, Qin Miao didn't use the power of the ERS to shake off Perez behind him.
And Master Pei is worthy of the name of the master, after being overtaken by Qin Miao, he was stunned to follow Qin Miao by relying on DRS, and was not pulled away by Qin Miao.
But there was only so much that Master Pei could do, and he couldn't surpass Qin Miao in a short period of time.
And as his soft tires began to fail, it was gradually becoming more difficult for him to keep up with Qin Miao.
On the twenty-second lap, the pit stop window opened, but Ricardo in front of Qin Miao had no intention of pit stopping.
And Qin Miao followed behind Ricardo at this time, and he didn't dare to make too many moves, just eating Ricardo's DRS to protect the tire, and charging the battery of his car by the way.
In a short period of time, Qin Miao was not ready to overtake Ricardo, and Qin Miao was waiting for Ricardo to enter the station.
Therefore, Ricardo, Qin Miao, and Perez formed a small DRS train.
However, on lap 23, Ricciardo also made a mistake in the same place as Pérez, but the mistake was different, Ricardo was T14 when he cut the APEX point cut early, and Pérez went out of the corner too wide.
Although Qin Miao wants to protect the fetus, if Qin Miao gives up in the face of such an opportunity, it will not be him.
So the operation that had just overtaken Pérez was repeated in the Circle
It is also strange to say that Qin Miao's overtaking does not rely on the performance of the car, nor on technology, but on the mistakes of the opponent, and this is the case for these three overtakings.
After surpassing Ricardo, Qin Miao came to fourth.
The three drivers in front of Qin Miao are Hamilton, Verstappen, and Leclerc.
The first and second places aside, thirteen laps stretched Leclerc a full nine seconds away.
And Leclerc pulled away from Ricciardo by 7 seconds, that is, Qin Miao is now 16 seconds away from the leading group in front of him.
It may seem that Qin Miao's 16 seconds for a pit stop is a bit of a loss, after all, the normal time for a pit stop at the Catalan circuit is only about 22 seconds.
But it should be taken into account that Qin Miao was blocked by three cars on the track, and if it were not blocked by these cars, Qin Miao could save at least 10 seconds by making a pit stop this time.
And as time went by, the tires of the three drivers in front of him had begun to fail, and Qin Miao, who was using medium tires, began to chase Verstappen at a distance of 0.6 seconds per lap even though he was running on the tires.
Until the game is really over, no one can tell whether their tactics are good or bad.
Twenty-four laps, Verstappen, who had been unable to overtake Hamilton, opted for an early pit stop in an attempt to cut Hamilton.
However, the left rear tyre changer dropped the chain during the pit stop to give Verstappen a 4.2-second tyre change.
This is not the worst for Red Bull, because according to the original calculation of the strategy group, Verstappen can fall in front of Qin Miao about 1 second after this pit stop.
Just don't have to face Qin Miao's wall of sighs.
But because of this 4.2-second pit stop, Verstappen fell behind his teammate Pérez and fell directly into the DRS train led by Qin Miao.
However, this time Toto didn't ask Qin Miao to give any team instructions, Qin Miao's tactics are very risky, tire wear is the most critical, if Verstappen wants to surpass Qin Miao, Qin Miao can only do is to let Verstappen pass, otherwise he will have to enter the station again.
Also because of Verstappen's pit stop, Qin Miao came to the third position and began to continue to chase Leclerc in front.
At this time, Qin Miao was still 6.7 seconds away from Leclerc.
Twenty-five laps, the difference between the two was 5.9 seconds.
Twenty-six laps, 4.1 seconds.
Twenty-seven laps, 3.3 seconds. (End of chapter)
