203: Overtaking show in Monaco

In fact, anyone who can become an F1 driver will not be too bad at driving skills, even if the talent in some aspects is mediocre, after training day after day, the familiarity of the track will gradually increase, after all, practice makes perfect.

Therefore, even if the drivers are running on the Monte Carlo circuit, they are not so prone to track accidents.

And the same is true for Giovinaz, his mistake this time is really not his own problem, but because Qin Miao has been following behind him, constantly pressing, as if Qin Miao's tire wear does not exist at all.

Maybe Qin Miao didn't realize that the pressure he put on the riders in front of him on the track was extremely huge.

Maybe those top drivers, such as Verstappen and Hamilton, can withstand the pressure, stabilize their mentality, and not make mistakes on the track when facing Qin Miao's attack.

But Giovinaz was obviously not one of these people, and in the face of Qin Miao's constant pressure and temptation, he invested too much attention on defending Qin Miao, which eventually led to the disorder of his rhythm out of the corner.

This time, Qin Miao's left front end board was basically rubbed against the billboard as extreme as in qualifying.

If you look closely, you can also find that the end plate of Qin Miao's racing car has left a black scratch on the white billboard.

Thanks to the extreme cornering angle, after getting out of the T19, Qin Miao was nearly 7 kilometers per hour faster than Giovenaz.

Although Qin Miao's Mercedes engine has run 4 Grand Prix races at this time, the durability of the engine is still good, and the overall stability and horsepower output capacity are still more powerful than Arrow's Ferrari engine.

And Giovinaz knew that he couldn't defend Qin Miao after he knew that his rhythm out of T19 was broken, so he didn't force to defend Qin Miao, but just guarded his inner line.

And Qin Miao was not used to Giovinaz, the outside line directly overtook it, and the whole car overtook before the braking point of T1.

After surpassing Giovinaz, Qin Miao moved up to eighth, up three places from the start, ahead of Red Bull's Perez.

Pérez is Red Bull's driver after all, and when Qin Miao comes behind him, he doesn't have to think about it, Red Bull will definitely show the team's instructions to let him defend Qin Miao with all his might.

Naturally, you can defend as long as you can.

Qin Miao also knew that Pérez in front of him would be much less difficult to defend himself on the track that was difficult to overtake in Monte Carlo.

So just after surpassing Giovinaz, when there was still a six-second gap from Perez, Qin Miao gave Perez a skill.

The next Qin Miao naturally pushed forward with all his might, and there was no sign of saving tires at all.

And this chase was 10 laps, and on the 15th lap, Qin Miao chased behind Perez.

This lap was 0.5 faster than Perez, and it made Red Bull's leader Horner frown, and Qin Miao's pursuit also gained a lot of director's shots.

Commentators at home and abroad are paying attention to the time gap between Qin Miao and Perez.

And when Qin Miao came behind Perez, Perez's pressure level came to 37%.

From this, it can be seen what a terrible experience it is to be pulled closer by Qin Miao at a speed that is visible to the naked eye.

As strong as Master Pei, he also felt a lot of pressure when he saw Qin Miao chasing after him.

Although no driver has said it publicly, the drivers inside and outside the paddock have recognized Qin Miao's strength at this time, and they all feel that he is Leclerc, the top driver of Hamilton's level, worthy of the position of Mercedes No. 2 driver, and even drivers like Leclerc, who have a good relationship with Qin Miao, think that Qin Miao's strength is stronger than Bottas.

So although it felt a lot of pressure to be chased by Qin Miao like this, he was not much surprised.

The reason why Qin Miao chased so fast was mainly because Qin Miao did not protect the tire, and he was running the race at a slightly slower pace than the rhythm of the qualifying race.

The rest of the people are on the tire, after all, the Monaco circuit is too difficult to overtake, and the later you pit stop, the greater the advantage.

But thanks to Qin Miao's skills and becoming more and more familiar with Qin Miao's racing car, even if he runs normally, the tire consumption is much slower than that of those drivers who deliberately protect the tires.

Coming behind Perez, Qin Miao also began to put pressure on the other party.

As long as the car in front of you doesn't make a mistake, the car behind you can't overtake unless the speed difference between the car in front and the car in front reaches more than two seconds per lap.

Therefore, what Qin Miao can do now is very limited, that is, constantly put pressure on Perez in front of him, and make mistakes after his pressure is full.

That's 7 laps.

On lap 23, when the T8 came out of the corner before entering the tunnel, Pérez was a little more anxious to refuel, and the rear wheel had a brief idling and lost traction for about 0.4 seconds.

Qin Miao, who had been guarded by Perez, was originally quite uncomfortable, but now after seeing Perez's mistake, Qin Miao's eyes lit up, and the depression of being blocked in place and wanting to run but not being able to run fast was swept away, and then began to accelerate violently, and ERS began to release as if he didn't want money.

The 0.4 seconds lost by Pérez out of the corner was too fatal, although he also wanted to change the line to block Qin Miao a little, but it was too late, because by the time Pérez recovered the traction at the rear of the car and began to accelerate, Qin Miao's car had already come to his side and formed a side by side with it, and Pérez had no possibility of blocking Qin Miao.

After that, it was simple, before he got out of the tunnel, Qin Miao directly surpassed Perez and came to the seventh position.

After all, the other drivers in the whole field are now running at their own pace, and no one has the idea of overtaking the rider in front of him, even Hamilton can only follow Gasly in front of him for 1.5 seconds to keep the tyre, and it is impossible to overtake the opponent.

And Qin Miao has been following Perez for a long time, so he hasn't given other drivers a shot in the past few laps, just kept looking at Qin Miao and Perez to see when Qin Miao can surpass each other.

So the audience at the scene saw the whole process of overtaking.

Fei Ge pointed out bluntly: "Although Qin Miao's overtaking this time seems to have a certain element of luck in it, this is also the foreshadowing of Qin Miao's previous 17 laps, if it were not for the continuous pressure on Perez in the previous 17 laps, Perez would not have made this mistake at all." ”

Brother Bing also said: "Whether you can meet the opportunity is determined by God, but whether you can seize the opportunity depends on the individual driver." ”

……

"Super beautiful Qin Miao! It's so beautiful! Keep pushing. After Qin Miao surpassed Perez, Toto's voice actually sounded in the TR.

Normally, these words are spoken by Frankie, but at this time, Toto's voice appeared in the TR, which means that Toto is really happy to see Qin Miao surpass a Red Bull.

replied to Toto with a "received", and then Qin Miao began to chase after Vettel who was three seconds in front of him.

Sebastian Vettel is definitely an experienced and skilled driver, with a build-up capacity comparable to Pérez's, and will not make mistakes due to too much pressure like Giovinaz.

So although Qin Miao surpassed the Red Bull, which seemed to be faster than the Aston Martin, at the Monte Carlo circuit, the Aston Martin driven by Super Vettel was not at all easier than the Red Bull that was Super Pérez.

Qin Miao was already mentally prepared to run behind Vettel for 20 minutes, and then surpass Vettel after his skills were ready.

But sometimes, when luck comes, you really can't stop it.

Two laps later, on lap 25, a Haas appeared in front of Vettel.

The driver of this car is Russian driver Nikita Mazepin.

In fact, the gap between Ma Zeping and his teammate Mick in this race is not huge, and the difference between the two Haas is only 7 seconds after 25 laps.

Compared to the previous situation when Ma Zeping was just over halfway through the race, and the time gap between Ma Zeping and the rider in front of him was more than a minute, Ma Zeping definitely played at a super level in this game.

But the Monte Carlo track is still too short, although Ma Zeping's performance in today's race is not bad compared to his previous performance, but he was still completed by Verstappen on the 22nd lap, and on the 25th lap, he was caught up by Vettel and Qin Miao, who were in sixth and seventh place, and were about to complete the ring.

As for the ringing Ma Zeping, Qin Miao has a lot of experience in both F2 and now F1.

But coincidentally, the place where Vettel caught up with Ma Zeping was T19, and the DRS monitoring point at T17 Vettel was just 1.007 seconds away from Ma Zeping and did not eat the DRS zone.

In the T19 position, Vettel was blocked by Ma Zeping when he came out of the corner.

When Qin Miao got out of T19, Ma Zeping ran to the inside line of the big straight to start, and just gave Qin Miao the best exit route.

Under the advantages of the other, Qin Miao's exit speed was nearly 20 kilometers per hour faster than Vettel.

With such a big speed gap, and the blessing of DRS and ERS, Qin Miao came to the late brake in T1, and finally snatched the sixth position from the frantically struggling Vettel in the T1 position.

Qin Miao's overtaking naturally won the cheers of all the spectators at the scene, after all, everyone knows how difficult it is to overtake at the Monte Carlo circuit, and Qin Miao only took 25 laps to overtake five people.

At this time, Leclerc has already withdrawn from the race, and without the home driver in charge, the main focus of the audience is to watch the excitement.

Seeing this, the three commentators naturally praised Qin Miao for a while, and there were even more cheers in the P room.

After overtaking Vettel, the driver in front of Qin Miao became Qin Miao's teammate Hamilton.

Although there are teammates in front of him who take good care of him, Qin Miao has already overtaken in Monaco at this time, and he is just doing it.

"Qin Miao's performance in this game is really eye-catching, from the beginning of the game to now, there are five positions, you must know that this is in Monaco." Brother Ran said with some emotion.

"Now that you're chasing behind the old man, do you think Toto will directly order Hamilton to give Qin Miao a place because Qin Miao's momentum is too good at this time?"

Hearing Fei Ge's rebellious speech, the other two commentators shook their heads and denied Fei Ge's statement.

"How is it possible, no matter how you think about it."

"Yes, Hamilton didn't make any mistakes in this race, and there was no problem with the car, no matter how you think about it, it's impossible to give up this position to Qin Miao."

"And racing factors aside, Hamilton is a seven-time champion after all, and his place in the Mercedes team is there, unless the speed difference between the two drivers is too big, otherwise the team can't give Hamilton such team instructions." Brother Ran analyzed it at the end.

……

On the field, Qin Miao didn't think about letting Hamilton give him a place or anything at this time, after all, he was still chasing Hamilton, and the excessive wear of the tires made Qin Miao's speed begin to decline at this time.

On lap 28, Hamilton and Qin Miao completed the lap of Mick Schumacher one after another, and the gap between the two reached 2.9 seconds.

On lap 29, Qin Miao came 1.9 seconds behind Hamilton, and Hamilton received the team's instructions for the driver to pit on the next lap.

On lap 30, Hamilton pitted, switched to the hard tyres in 2.1 seconds, and came out in front of Giovynaz behind Pérez, who had a full 16-second gap in front of him, allowing him to run at his own pace with peace of mind.

And Hamilton's pit stop also gave Qin Miao a gap of 4.7 seconds, and Qin Miao could still do laps at his own pace.

There were no problems with the arrangement of the Mercedes team.

On lap 31, Norris and Gasly also made a pit stop, and naturally they didn't want to be undercut by Hamilton.

With the pit stop of these two, Qin Miao's ranking came directly to second, and he had more than 15 seconds of space in front of him to do lap times comfortably.

But Hamilton was miserable, first of all, he didn't succeed in cutting Gasly, and after Gasly came out, Hamilton still fell behind Gasly.

Seriously, it was originally for Hamilton's sake, let him stand first, and then Qin Miao went to put pressure on Gasly, so that Hamilton had enough free running rhythm.

didn't expect all of this to be a wedding dress for Qin Miao.

On lap 32, Vettel pitted, and the driver behind Qin Miao became Pérez.

Unfortunately, Sebastian Vettel got stuck in front of Gasly and Hamilton after exiting.

After receiving the news, Hamilton immediately began to complain to the team TR: "This pit stop is really stupid. ”

All Toto can do at this time is to hold his head in his hands and lean back tactically.

On lap 33, Sainz pitted, Qin Miao moved to second position, and Verstappen in front of him was 18 seconds away from him.

This gap made Qin Miao not have the slightest desire to catch up.

However, after coming to the second place, Frankie's voice sounded in the TR of the team: "Qin Miao, the tires are starting to deteriorate, but we feel that we can hold on for a while, there are no obstacles in front of you, so we need you to push forward as much as possible and find a suitable gap." ”

"Roger." Qin Miao replied.

The ERS, which had been saved for most of the game, began to be released unreservedly, and the line began to become aggressive.

The main reason why the Monte Carlo track is not fast is that there are people in front of him, and now that Qin Miao has an unobstructed view in front of him, his speed has naturally improved significantly.

On lap 34, Pérez, who had run 37 laps on soft tyres, made a pit stop.

And Verstappen is still holding on the track, because Red Bull knows that Qin Miao's defensive ability and tire protection ability are world-class, if Verstappen is allowed to pit at this time and fall behind Qin Miao after coming out, then the initiative will fall into the hands of Mei Ben.

So if you Qin Miao don't pit and I Verstappen don't pit stop, everyone is staying up outside to see who can't stand it first.

At this time, the most suitable person to pit stop is Pérez.

After Pérez pitted for hard tyres, he was four seconds behind Norris and fifth.

He didn't finish on the podium, but compared to his eighth start, it was a good place.

It's just that there is no harm if there is no comparison, and Qin Miao's existence proves to everyone how big the gap between geniuses and ordinary people is.

Twelfth start, currently second.

The on-site director's camera was aimed at a Mercedes and a Red Bull, and the Red Bull was still the Verstappen of the Red Bull, but the driver of the Mercedes was changed from Hamilton to Qin Miao.

ps. There is a paragraph at the back that is not satisfactory, deleted a lot, it's too late to make up, there are only so many today, sorry. (End of chapter)
