216: Listen the other way around
Toto and Qin Miao have also worked together for a short time, and they are already used to the humility of the Chinese engraved in their bones.
After the two exchanged pleasantries, Toto also began to get down to business.
"According to the hints, there will only be two laps left in the race.
Still, there is a possibility that the final position will change, so hopefully you will be vigilant and try to bring the championship back. ”
Qin Miao naturally nodded and said seriously: "I have no reason to let the champion slip out of my hands. ”
"Okay." Toto looked at Hamilton's car with Perez across the road from Qin Miao, and then turned back to Qin Miao and said: "There is one more thing I need to tell you, we will not stop Hamilton from attacking you in the next two laps, of course, we will not let you give up your position to Hamilton, I hope you can be clear about this and understand our troubles." ”
Qin Miao naturally nodded, there is nothing to say, as the No. 2 driver, the team has not given you direct instructions, it can already be regarded as a very preferential treatment for you, the No. 2 driver, do you still expect the team to help you put pressure on the No. 1 driver?
After chatting for a few more words, Toto patted Qin Miao on the shoulder and then went to Hamilton's side.
After Toto left, Qin Miao withdrew his gaze from Toto's body, then lowered his head and turned on his phone, put on his headphones and started playing games.
Barber looked at Qin Miao's nonchalant appearance and obviously had something to say, but finally shut up.
In the following time, everyone was busy with their work in an orderly manner, and the director was a little bored at this time, so he looked at the faces of the drivers.
In today's race, there are many drivers who are eye-catching.
But among these riders, the most talked about is Qin Miao.
Regardless of the previous competitions, in the two street races of Monaco and Azerbaijan, Qin Miao started from a disadvantageous position, and then rushed before the end of the game, and came to a position that did not belong to him unexpectedly to everyone.
Therefore, Qin Miao received a lot of audience votes in this game.
At this time, the only one who could compete with Qin Miao was Vettel.
Qin Miao started seventh, and now he has risen to first.
Sebastian Vettel, on the other hand, is the eleventh step and is now fourth.
Qin Miao was in six positions, and Vettel was in seven positions.
Someone is about to say at this time, what kind of car did you Qin Miao drive? What kind of car does Vettel drive?
There is no comparison between the two men at all.
If Qin Miao was asked to drive Vettel's car, he would definitely not have such a good result!
But you must know that Qin Miao's opponent is also different from Vettel's opponent.
Qin Miao had to face Verstappen's defense, and the two of them were not less bayonet on the track.
But Vettel surpassed more people than Qin Miao.
So at this time, the audience didn't know which driver to vote for.
When the director was bored, he aimed the camera at Qin Miao.
Then they saw Qin Miao turning his mobile phone sideways on the track like an Internet addict teenager and playing games.
In fact, Qin Miao's behavior was somewhat inappropriate, after all, it was still working time, and Qin Miao did not shy away from playing the game.
But at this time, no one will say anything about Qin Miao.
After all, competitive sports, winning and losing.
Although Qin Miao's current first position was only obtained by picking up Verstappen's leak.
But why is it that among the nineteen drivers in a field, only Qin Miao picked up Verstappen's leak?
It's not because Qin Miao's own strength is strong enough.
The camera was given to Hamilton.
Hamilton's crew brought in a new nose wing, and FIA officials watched.
When the camera zoomed in, everyone saw that a small hole about 1.7 in diameter had been punched out of the front nose wing of Hamilton Racing for unknown reasons, and there was a long crack in the front of the hole, which ran through the upper and lower ends of the front nose.
It seems that Hamilton's crew must have asked the FIA officials to change the front nose wing of the car.
Soon after, though, the camera shifted from here to the other riders.
Like Norris, Russell, Sainz, Gasly.
It is worth mentioning that when they rested, they basically sat next to their cars and waited for the game to restart, most of them were in a daze, or drinking water, immersed in their own world, and only Qin Miao was alone at this time where to play games with his mobile phone.
After the camera gave some replays on the field, the camera was given to Yuki Tsunoda, who is currently ranked seventh.
After seeing Tsunoda, the three commentators also talked about Tsunoda.
"Actually, Tsunoda is one of the more talented young drivers." Phineas said.
Brother Bing nodded, but the tone of his words changed: "In fact, if there is no Qin Miao's existence, then Tsunoda is definitely the best choice for the best rookie this season."
After all, he beat his experienced teammate Gasly to score two points in his first game, although there were no more points in his account after that.
However, this time Tsunoda set a new career high and moved up to seventh place. ”
As Bing said, the seventh position in this race is indeed the highest ranking of Yuki Tsunoda's career.
"It's a pity that the supernova Tsunoda met a sun." Zhou Haoran interjected with a smile on the side.
After that, all three commentators laughed heartily.
I don't need to go into too much detail about who this sun is in their mouths.
In fact, Qin Miao was quite envious of him, because Tsunoda was not like Qin Miao, and he lost the opportunity to refresh his career's highest finish record in the second F1 Grand Prix of his career.
But in any case, with the existence of such a rookie as Qin Miao, they will receive very little attention like Tsunoda.
In fact, in private, they didn't slander Qin Miao.
It's just that in competitive sports, as long as you have enough strength, you can ignore a lot of rules and gossip.
Many voices that are dissatisfied with you will also be suppressed.
The current Qin Miao is almost in this state.
20 minutes later, Qin Miao, who had cleared all the daily tasks in Genshin Impact and went to brush up some materials by the way, received a reminder from Frankie: "Stop playing, the game is about to start." ”
After hearing this, Qin Miao obediently handed over the mobile phone and headphones to Barber, then stood up and moved his body, and began to put on his equipment after a brief warm-up.
After putting on the equipment, Qin Miao returned to his car, and then Frankie and the others helped Qin Miao restart the car.
At this time, there were still 7 minutes before the restart of the race, and Qin Miao routinely checked all the systems of his car.
It was at this point that Hamilton said in the team's TR: "You have to know that this season is a marathon, not a sprint, so we have to be measured. ”
After Hamilton's words, his track engineer and Toto Wolf stepped in to agree.
These words were addressed both to Hamilton himself and to Red Bull.
On the one hand, the purpose is to remind Red Bull that I don't have to be too extreme when I attack.
But anyone who knows Hamilton knows that many times he has to listen the other way around.
……
After a period of intense preparation, the countdown went to zero and the FIA released all the cars.
Because it was the last lap, all the riders were on the soft tyres, with or without a new reserve of soft tyres, and the soft tyres wore out a lot.
After getting out of the pit area, Qin Miao began to heat up his tires more aggressively.
The brake oil and the operation of the left and right tire grinding are used, after all, Qin Miao at this time does not need to consider the problem of tire wear.
At the same time, because he knew that he was the first to start, the drivers behind Qin Miao who stopped on the grid might even park into their grid after a minute, so when Qin Miao warmed up the tires, he was running to the temperature to be too high.
After the warm-up lap ended, he came to the big straight of the start, and after passing the monitoring point in the DRS area, Qin Miao also began to press the car.
This is because if the tires of an F1 car are not moving, the temperature of the tires will decrease very quickly.
Therefore, in order to ensure that the tires have enough temperature after starting, Qin Miao pressed the car to the limit before starting.
Basically, you compress your speed to 35 km/h and slowly move to your grid.
Because of this, about half a minute after Qin Miao parked, the other riders also parked in their positions.
Qin Miao started from pole position on the right side of the track, with Red Bull's Serene Pérez behind him on the left, teammate Hamilton behind him, and Sebastian Vettel behind Perez.
After everyone had parked in their places, the medical van in the rear was in place.
There was no green flag at the start after the red flag, and as the last car was in place, the five red lights began to light up one by one.
Soon, in the midst of a beep, all five red lights came on.
The red light went out at five stations.
Qin Miao released the clutch as fast as he could, and the car started.
After a successful start, Qin Miao immediately looked at the left rearview mirror of the car
And Qin Miao clearly saw that Perez's start on his side was not ideal, while Hamilton's start was extremely good, even better than Qin Miao.
Qin Miao's start was decent, there were no bright spots, but there were no mistakes.
Soon, all the drivers were up to speed and made it to T1.
The starting point is only 180 meters away from the middle of the T1 braking point, so everyone's speed is not too fast at this time
At this time, Qin Miao still maintained the lead, while Pérez was side by side with Hamilton, and even because Hamilton's start was good enough, Hamilton on the outside even surpassed Pérez.
And just when everyone thought that Hamilton had a good chance of overtaking Pérez on the outside of T1 this time, there was an accident.
As he entered the brake point, Hamilton's finger accidentally touched the car's brake balance adjustment button.
It doesn't matter if the brake balance is adjusted backwards, because it is mainly to adjust the proportion of the tire load when braking to the front or rear wheels.
In a heavy braking area like the Baku T1, the consequence of shifting the proportional weight of the brakes to the rear wheels is at best that the braking distance is relatively long.
But as Hamilton adjusted, he shifted his brake center of gravity forward.
In other words, Hamilton's foot brake caused the front wheels to be more involved, and the consequences were not as simple as when the brake weight was adjusted to the rear wheels.
When Hamilton slammed on the brakes, his two front wheels were locked up.
The two locked tires pulled out two white smoke on the track, and lost all steering ability, rushing straight towards Qin Miao's car butt.
But fortunately, there is still some distance between the two, and before Hamilton's front of the car was about to hit Qin Miao's butt, Qin Miao had successfully entered the corner and narrowly avoided the impact.
Although Hamilton's start was better than Qin Miao's, there was at least one car between him and Qin Miao, and such a long distance could not be surpassed by a good start.
Qin Miao just started normally, and he didn't make a mistake at the start.
Therefore, after Hamilton found out that Perez made a mistake at the start, the first thing he thought about was only to surpass Perez, and he did not have any thoughts about Qin Miao, who had a normal start.
It's just that he was a little anxious when he overtook Pérez.
But that's understandable, after all, whoever came in and out for the first time was blocked by Pérez, and that block stopped him for almost half of the game.
Now that I finally have a chance to surpass him, whoever comes will be a little difficult to control.
It's just that the consequences of this uncontrollable impulse are more serious after being brought to the field.
And because of the car's inertia and the time it took Hamilton to adjust the car's settings back, by the time Hamilton returned to the track, he had already fallen to last place.
At this time, Qin Miao and Perez had already come to T4 and began to attack the last two laps.
There wasn't much to say about the last two laps.
After Qin Miao was without tire anxiety, it was not too easy to defend a Pérez.
And if you want to say who is the happiest person in this game, then Vettel deserves it.
Because he thought he was going to finish fourth in this race, but in the end, Hamilton sent him straight to the podium.
In contrast to the joy of the first three drivers, Gasly in fourth was in close hands with Leclerc in fifth, while Norris in sixth was eyeing Leclerc in the field.
Unfortunately, Gasly's defence was so resolute that Leclerc couldn't get back to his coveted fourth place in the final two laps.
Qin Miao was very relaxed when she ran the last lap, because Pérez also accepted his fate and did not show any offensive intent in the last lap.
So Qin Miao also had spare time to care about Hamilton.
When he was not nervous about cornering, Qin Miao asked, "Lewis is okay?" ”
Frankie's answer was a little unclear: "It feels okay, Hamilton doesn't have much mood swings." ”
Qin Miao raised his eyebrows in some surprise for this answer, but after making sure that Hamilton was fine, he didn't ask too much, after all, he still had a game to run.
On the other side, in the middle of Hamilton's convoy, Hamilton's voice rang out: "I'm so sorry guys."
It's just that because there is an engine in the background of Hamilton's voice, there is not much emotion in his words.
