213: Thriller Verstappen (6K, plus 4/19)
And after a set of extreme operations, Qin Miao bought at least 0.1 seconds of time for himself.
Strictly speaking, as long as the current team ensures that its tire change time is within 2.1 seconds, Qin Miao is confident that he will be in front of Verstappen after he goes out.
At this time, Qin Miao's pit stop was also crucial, so the director also switched the camera to Qin Miao.
So I saw that Qin Miao parked his racing car firmly in the parking position.
Reyes and everyone moved instantly, and at the same time that the two jack technicians in front and behind lifted Qin Miao's car, the four engineers in charge of the air gun had already jammed the air gun nozzle on the four bolts on Qin Miao's racing tires.
As Qin Miao's car got off the ground, the four bolts were also removed.
At the same time, the soft tyres, which had worn out almost completely, were removed, and four new neutral tyres were brought up.
The airsoft gun is locked in alignment with the bolt position.
The front and rear jacks are lowered at the same time.
Qin Miao gently pressed the accelerator pedal after feeling the car falling, and then the car started steadily, it is worth mentioning that Qin Miao did not let his rear wheel spin when he started.
Although this can effectively increase the temperature of his rear wheels and have a stronger grip on the track, Qin Miao doesn't know how long he will defend Verstappen next, so this kind of operation that will greatly consume the tires can be a little less.
"Okay, change the tire in 2.1 seconds." After Fei Ge saw Qin Miao come out, he told Qin Miao about the speed of Qin Miao's tire change.
Brother Bing began to be a little nervous again: "Qin Miao, can you be ahead of Verstappen after you come out?" ”
If he follows Brother Ran's usual approach, he will definitely come to an unlikely sentence at this time, and he can't surpass it.
But as a fan of Qin Miao, he still chose to shut up at this time, looking forward to a good result.
And in the end, Qin Miao did not disappoint all the people who supported him.
When he came out, he was stuck right in front of Verstappen.
At this time, Verstappen had just come out of T1 and started to accelerate, and Qin Miao suddenly drove out from the inside.
Seriously, Verstappen had such a momentary pain after seeing Qin Miao appear in front of him, why are you again?
It was just a feeling before, but now Verstappen really feels that Qin Miao is a little disgusting in the arena.
You say he's behind him, this B person's sense of existence is very strong, and when he puts pressure on himself, he always has a momentum of being ready to die with himself.
You say that he is in front of him, Qin Miao's defensive ability is really terrifying, airtight, you can't put pressure on him to have much effect, the key is that he still has a lot of dirty routines thrown in your face when defending.
How much Verstappen is looking forward to his teammates being able to give some effect at this time, don't ask you for anything else, just help me resist the pressure given by Qin Miao.
After Qin Miao came out, the rankings on the field were as follows.
1: Sebastian Vettel
2: Qin Miao
3: Verstappen
4: Pérez
5: Hamilton
That's right, Vettel still didn't make a pit stop at this time.
It's a pity that Vettel is in the position 4.8 seconds in front of Qin Miao, and there is no way to provide Qin Miao with DRS and wake, otherwise it will be easier for Qin Miao to defend Verstappen.
However, Vettel is always going to make a pit stop to change tires, and his ranking is short-lived, so Qin Miao is the one in first place at this moment.
And Qin Miao's most important attention at this time is not Vettel, but Verstappen behind him.
Although at this time his tires are newer than Verstappen, and the grip is also better.
The temperature of Qin Miao's tires has not yet risen.
Counting it up, Qin Miao still has a certain disadvantage compared to Verstappen.
So this lap is crucial.
Verstappen naturally knew that this was the best time to surpass Qin Miao, and the ERS, who had been preparing for a long time, began to release it with all his might.
After surpassing Qin Miao in this lap, many follow-up problems will be solved, but if Qin Miao is not surpassed in this lap, then Verstappen can imagine the picture of Qin Miao defending himself to death.
So Qin Miao found that Verstappen's speed suddenly began to speed up.
T2 didn't do it himself, but after getting out of T2's DRS zone, Verstappen sucked his wake and DRS.
Qin Miao began to draw dragons as soon as possible.
Seeing this, Verstappen didn't make any unnecessary movements, and quietly ran on the normal rhythm of the driving line.
Not even halfway through the DRS zone, Verstappen had made a run on the outside.
Seeing this, Qin Miao also had no desire to resist, there was no way, with the blessing of DRS, Red Bull's absolute speed was too fast.
Moreover, Qin Miao's tires did not reach the right working temperature, so Qin Miao did not have any countermeasures against Verstappen's overtaking.
All Qin Miao could do at this time was to expect that Verstappen would not completely surpass him when he entered T3, and he would have the opportunity to force Verstappen to give up his position when he braked late.
It's a pity that Red Bull's DRS is too efficient after it is opened, and Verstappen has completed the surpassing of Qin Miao before the braking point of T3.
Qin Miao could only return to the normal driving line before the T3 braking point, and then honestly followed Verstappen and waited for his tire temperature to come up.
It is worth mentioning that Qin Miao returned to Verstappen again, and the lock of the skill was also lifted.
Only then did Qin Miao know that the skill had to be used to keep behind the driver in front of him.
But don't worry too much, because Qin Miao knows that his tires are faster than Verstappen in front, so Qin Miao can follow Verstappen.
And the skill CD is also turning, and Baku is not Monaco, so Qin Miao still has a chance to snatch his position back, and it is even possible to directly use his skills.
However, after Qin Miao's position was lost, the three commentators and Qin Miao's fans still felt a pity.
At the end of lap 18, Vettel finally made a pit stop.
However, this news has no impact on Qin Miao and the drivers of other top groups.
In addition to Vettel, Qin Miao had a good rhythm after the T16 corner on this lap, sticking to the position 0.5 seconds behind Verstappen, ready to start his first attack of the race against Verstappen.
After Verstappen sensed Qin Miao's intentions, he also began to draw dragons on the track.
However, Qin Miao at this time did not dare to be as relaxed as when Verstappen surpassed Qin Miao.
Qin Miao's engine output is a little insufficient, and Verstappen also changed the engine in this game, so Qin Miao has no advantage over Verstappen in the big straight, and even has some disadvantages.
If you want to surpass him, you can only rely on DRS and the wake effect.
Qin Miao's advantage is that the tire grip is stronger than Verstappen, but the tire grip advantage of Baku's track can be played in the second timing section, but there is no overtaking point in the second timing section.
Therefore, Qin Miao followed Verstappen to charge two laps of electricity, and only after the eighteenth lap was fully charged did he start to discharge quickly, chasing Verstappen in front, and finally had the current situation.
And at this time, Qin Miao's power was already in an emergency, if he hadn't sucked Verstappen's wake, this opportunity that Qin Miao had finally won for himself would have slipped out of his hands.
So the audience saw that Qin Miao followed Verstappen steadily and began to draw dragons together at his pace.
Seriously, with the synchronization rate of these two people's movements, they can really go to the Pacific Rim to drive mechas.
All the way to the DRS area, Qin Miao opened the DRS of his car as soon as he passed the DRS detection point.
After the DRS was turned on, Qin Miao's relative speed had an advantage for Verstappen, and the big wake just now also shortened the distance between Qin Miao and Verstappen to 0.3 seconds.
This time was enough in Qin Miao's feelings, and he surpassed Verstappen only by relying on DRS.
So he didn't follow Verstappen to draw the dragon together, and was ready to rely on the speed advantage directly on the outside.
And the fact is that Qin Miao's relative speed at this time is indeed sufficient.
However, Verstappen, an old man, suddenly turned on the ERS of his own car at this time.
Although Verstappen's ERS had been using it in the first few laps in order not to be chased too closely by Qin Miao, he had kept his ERS above 20% charge.
At this time, he gave Qin Miao a sudden cold arrow.
Qin Miao saw that there was still at least 7 kilometers per hour and the proximity rate began to decline, and he guessed that Verstappen might still be hiding something.
I didn't dare to stop eating the wake, so I honestly returned to Verstappen's back and continued to take a sip of wake.
But because of the delay just now, when Qin Miao caught up with Verstappen, the DRS area was already halfway through.
And Verstappen saw that Qin Miao's relative speed was fast enough, and there was no way to stop it, so he could only stick to the inside line while constantly determining the position of Qin Miao's car by quickly looking at the rearview mirror.
Seriously, Verstappen couldn't have imagined before the start of this season, after six Grand Prix races this season, although Hamilton fought fiercely with himself, the driver who caused the most trouble for himself was Qin Miao.
In fact, before the start of the season, Verstappen was quite happy when he learned that Mercedes' number two driver had been changed from Bottas to a newcomer with no F1 racing experience.
Although Verstappen was also surprised by Qin Miao's call for wind and rain in F2, everyone knows that F2 and F1 are two different dimensional events, you can control the thunder and lightning in F2, but after you arrive in F1, you are likely to be just a midstream group driver who is not known to everyone.
Even if you're really talented and you'll have to get used to racing in F1 for a while, at least the first few races aren't a threat to Verstappen and Red Bull.
You don't see that Pérez's first few games when he first joined Red Bull were not very good.
But the result? Qin Miao's first F1 Grand Prix almost gave Verstappen anti-vomiting.
Finally, after crossing the finish line, Qin Miao set a new fastest lap of the whole course while tapping Verstappen on the outside, and was side by side with Verstappen before the braking point in T1 and had a certain excess.
But the outside line, you know everything, Qin Miao is out of it, and this distance is the same as no advantage in front of Verstappen.
At the same time, Perez behind Qin Miao was also pulled away a little during this time, because Qin Miao's teammate Hamilton also made a move on Pérez.
For a while, the director had a happy trouble, Qin Miao attacked Verstappen in the front, and Hamilton attacked Perez in the back.
T1, Verstappen's signature late brake blocked Qin Miao's best approach to the corner.
Although this corner was not suitable, Qin Miao still chose the crossing line, after all, there was really no way to do it if this position was blocked by Verstappen, who braked late.
It's just that because of the angle limitation of the corner, Qin Miao didn't gain anything from this attack, and taking the cross line out of the corner only made Qin Miao and Verstappen follow a little tighter.
Moreover, Verstappen had just run out of ERS power in the DRS zone, and the T1's heavy brakes could provide him with limited power.
When the T1 accelerates, it basically uses up all this power.
And what about Qin Miao? Originally, his power was 90% on the eighteenth lap, and the 2.2-kilometer straight released a wave, but it was not all used up, and a wave of power was replenished at T1, and a little bit was added when he passed T2 behind Verstappen, so when he came to the DRS area of the first time section after T2, Qin Miao's power was still 30%.
This time, Qin Miao is relatively hard, directly inside the tap, and at the same time, DRS and ERS, the oil-rich mode is fully open.
Verstappen also knew that Qin Miao must not be allowed to stand on the inside line at this time, so when Qin Miao was about to take the inside line, he changed lanes to compress Qin Miao's position, wanting to seal all the space for Qin Miao's inside line tap before Qin Miao's inside line tap.
The T2 to T3 straight is not too wide.
Verstappen's change of line directly blocked all the lines of Qin Miao's inner line tap.
Qin Miao naturally knew that Verstappen would be so defensive of himself, so he had been on guard against Verstappen's line change, and as soon as he changed, he made a gesture to go to the outside line.
And Verstappen naturally walked a little outside after seeing this picture.
Although the asphalt of the Baku circuit is often driven by, the asphalt grip on the track is slightly better than the asphalt on the non-track.
And Verstappen's angle into the corner is not very good, if he forces his way into the corner from this position, his speed will drop a lot.
It is even possible that because the speed is too slow, it will be overtaken by Qin Miao by crossing the line with one hand.
But when Verstappen just started to turn his steering wheel slightly outwards and looked at the right rearview mirror, he suddenly found that Qin Miao's car did not appear on the right rearview mirror of his car.
At this moment, Verstappen had a terrifying feeling of the pores all over his body suddenly constricting.
When Verstappen looked back at his left rearview mirror, he saw that the left tire of Qin Miao's car was almost squeezed against the parapet into the gap between himself and the parapet that barely enough for a car to enter, and he didn't know if he was wrong, Verstappen also saw some white and green things flying out behind Qin Miao's car.
But despite these fragments flying out, which were obviously Rolex foam billboards, Qin Miao's car was not affected in any way, and its speed did not decrease, but continued to accelerate.
At this moment, Verstappen reacted, and Qin Miao deceived himself with a set of feints.
Verstappen is such an experienced and talented driver, naturally he is also prepared to be shot by the opponent, and the space on the left side after his right turn is not very large at the first time, and that space can only be stuffed into another F1 car at most, and after stuffing into a car, the gap that can be left will definitely not exceed three centimeters.
At this distance, drivers who are generally not confident in their driving skills are discouraged, after all, any touch in such an environment is a major accident.
The drivers had to face the problem of repairing their cars after the race.
Even experienced drivers would not risk such a big gap unless it was a crucial moment in the race.
But what about Qin Miao? He inserted it directly, and judging from the depth of Qin Miao's entry, he basically didn't hesitate to come in directly after seeing the gap.
Seeing this, Verstappen could only sigh helplessly, this son was terrifying, and then silently moved the car to the outside line, leaving more space for Qin Miao.
Verstappen had learned Qin Miao's defensive ability, and he knew that Qin Miao, who had DRS, would definitely overtake himself when T3 entered the corner, and then Qin Miao would be powerless when he braked late.
So at this time, Verstappen could only return to the outside line, and did his best to ensure that his rhythm would not be deviated by Qin Miao, put pressure on Qin Miao while charging his car, and looking for an opportunity to surpass Qin Miao to snatch back the position.
And all this happened in a short three seconds.
The three commentators of Five Star Sports saw Qin Miao's overtaking operation and stood up directly from their positions excitedly.
Brother Bing raised his arms and shouted: "Qin Miao! This overtaking was so beautiful! ”
Fei Ge also applauded again and again: "Beautiful! That's it! Qin Miao is back to the first place! ”
Brother Ran couldn't hide the emotions in his heart, but he still explained to the audience the difficulty factor of Qin Miao's overtaking this time: "When Qin Miao was forced to the inside line by Verstappen, there was a fake action to prepare to go to the outside line, and this fake action shook Verstappen, and then Qin Miao directly inserted into the little space left by Verstappen.
These operations are not easy at all, but any mistake is a crash and retirement. ”
In the end, Fei Ge concluded: "Resolute, calm, bold and careful, excellent technology!"
Finally, looking forward to the stars and the moon, we finally have such a talented driver in China! ”
After Qin Miao's overtaking was completed, all the engineers who were nervously staring at the broadcast screen on the side of Meiben's P room all stood up from their positions and high-fived each other in celebration.
Toto had a smile on his face, but before anyone noticed, Toto took two pieces of paper from the drawer under his desk and wiped the sweat from his palms.
Qin Miao forcibly squeezed into Verstappen's inner line, and Toto was really scared out of a cold sweat when he saw it just now, especially when Qin Miao's right rear wheel brushed a Rolex billboard and raised the crumbs of the billboard, Toto was already ready for Qin Miao to make a mistake in the fight and retire, and to comfort Qin Miao after the game.
But he didn't expect Qin Miao's heart to be so big in the arena, and he really inserted it.
Fortunately, in the end, there were no accidents, although the car can afford to repair, but it looks like there is a lot of hope for points, and there is even a possibility that the driver who touches the championship will retire like this, no one will feel too good.
However, compared to these, Toto was more worried about Qin Miao's injury on the track.
Although there is still a Bottas to be a substitute, the relationship between Bottas and Bempen has fallen to a freezing point after Meben took him down, and Toto basically doesn't expect him to do anything for Hamilton.
Bottas came up with the idea of showing as much as he could so that he could find a better contract with the next team.
Qin Miao finally overtook Verstappen with a late brake in T3.
And after this wonderful attack and defense came to an end, the director switched the camera to the track just now.
I saw a lot of white foam on the track, and there were obvious scratches on the two Rolex billboards connected next to the track, and the ROLEX under the crown was directly scraped by the tires.
Although the billboard he put on the F1 field was scraped by Qin Miao, the Rolex people laughed on the spot after seeing this picture, this is not a damaged billboard, this is a top-notch advertisement!
Qin Miao came to the second time period after T3 overtook Verstappen and then T4, and there was no suitable overtaking point in this time period, so Qin Miao relaxed a little after determining that Verstappen had no way to overtake him.
And just when he was squeezing Verstappen's slit, Qin Miao also heard the sound of the rear wheel of his car colliding, so now that he was free, he asked in TR: "Is there anything wrong with my left rear wheel?" ”
After Frankie and the others were happy, they also knew that Qin Miao's tires had collided with the parapet, but he was more concerned about his racing state than Qin Miao, so before Qin Miao asked, they had already begun to check the sensor data from Qin Miao's racing tires.
Fortunately, Qin Miao's racing tires did not have any problems.
So Frankie replied relaxedly, "It's beautiful, don't worry, there's nothing wrong with the tires." ”
After hearing Frankie's words, Qin Miao also breathed a sigh of relief, and then began to plan how he would face Verstappen's attack in the next big straight.
And Verstappen's rhythm was also a little disordered after being overtaken by Qin Miao once, so he didn't directly attack Qin Miao at the beginning.
Verstappen had learned Qin Miao's defensive ability, so although he now had the ability to attack Qin Miao, he didn't do it, but kept following Qin Miao in the DRS area to recharge his car.
After fighting Qin Miao for so many rounds, Verstappen knew it clearly.
If you want to surpass Qin Miao comfortably, the best and safest way is to rely on the pure speed advantage to overtake Qin Miao before he enters the braking point of the next corner, just like he did when Qin Miao came out of the pit lane just now.
And with the end of the race still long before the end of the race, Verstappen had plenty of patience to wait for the opportunity to move.
And so on, I waited until the twenty-second lap.
Verstappen, who had been following Qin Miao for about 0.7 seconds, suddenly narrowed the distance between him and Qin Miao in the second time session.
And after the T15 of the second time period came out of the corner, he came to a place 0.5 seconds behind Qin Miao.
Out of T16 and into the third season, Verstappen began to unleash the performance of his car at full strength.
Seeing this, Qin Miao couldn't even have the slightest desire to defend Verstappen in his heart, because Verstappen's car was too fast in a state of wake and DRS.
