I won't go into too much detail about the pre-game activities and interviews after that.

The only thing worth mentioning is that when Qin Miao was interviewed, Leclerc took advantage of Qin Miao's inattention, quietly touched Qin Miao's back, and then poked Qin Miao's ribs very hard.

Anyone who has been poked in the ribs by a friend knows that it is really sour, itchy and painful, and the body will even be a little soft because of this, and they can't help but want to laugh, and Qin Miao is no exception.

After being poked, Qin Miao's whole person softened.

After reacting that Leclerc did it, Qin Miao's interview did not continue, and turned around and chased after Leclerc.

Then under the gaze of the camera, Qin Miao's hand scratched Leclerc's armpit twice before letting him go.

……

The second practice, because I know that Silverstone is a track that eats tires, although Pirelli gave the three hardest tires of C3-C1 in this race, and the rear wheels have been specially strengthened, but on this track, the tires still wear out quickly.

So in the second training phase, the top 10 drivers in qualifying basically ran out of their soft tyres.

Because according to their tactics, they will not be able to use soft tyres in the sprint qualifying and the main race stage later.

The only exception is that Qin Miao's car crew reserved a set of soft tires for Qin Miao to use in the sprint qualifying race.

The reason why Qin Miao was given such a set of tires was not to sacrifice Qin Miao, but according to the tire wear data from the first and second exercises, with Qin Miao's tire protection ability, he could run the entire sprint qualifying race with a set of soft tires, and even as long as Qin Miao drove normally, the tires were unlikely to enter the cliff point after he ran 17 laps of the sprint qualifying race.

Qin Miao naturally had no objection to this.

And if you run this race with soft tires, as long as you protect the tires at the beginning stage and don't fall out of position, Qin Miao can press the car while protecting the tires in the subsequent games.

Because according to the group's calculations, the speed of Qin Miao's soft tires is about 0.2 laps faster than Hamilton's.

As long as Qin Miao protects his tyres, he can slow down the car formation in the sprint qualifying stage, so that Verstappen may attack Hamilton in the sprint qualifying stage.

Hamilton, who was attacked by Verstappen, naturally had no time to attack Qin Miao, this trick drove the tiger and devoured the wolf Qin Miao wanted to try it for a long time, but Qin Miao didn't have this strength before, and now he just had such an opportunity.

After the second practice, Qin Miao also decided on the car tuning settings for the sprint qualifying stage, and the tires were a set of soft tires.

In the period before the start of the sprint qualifying session, Qin Miao went to soak in the ice bucket with Hamilton in the lounge of the team's house for a while.

In the first half of the season, the air temperature was relatively low and the average temperature of the track was relatively low, so there was no need to soak in ice buckets.

But as the time gradually approached, the temperature on the track and in the cockpit of the car was very high.

Therefore, ice buckets are needed to cool the driver's body, tighten the driver's muscles, and relieve muscle soreness and strain after racing.

The sprint qualifying session began with a similar process to a normal race, with the team taking the driver's car to the track first.

Once the preparations were made, the team crew withdrew, and then the twenty cars began their own warm-up laps.

After the warm-up lap, he parked himself at his place and waited for the five red lights to go out.

Before the start of the sprint qualifying session, the three commentators on the side of Five Star Sports were still saying that Qin Miao's choice of soft tires for today's race should be to help Hamilton block Verstappen for a few more laps.

From their words, it is not difficult to judge that although Qin Miao defeated his teammate Hamilton in the qualifying stage yesterday, they still think that Qin Miao's speed is slower than Hamilton, and when the sprint qualifying session starts, Qin Miao may give up his position to Hamilton because of the team's instructions.

Of course, it's not that they didn't think that Qin Miao won the first place in the sprint qualifying race again, and the main race was also the first to bring back.

But no matter who it was at this time, no matter how well Qin Miao behaved, they would not think that Qin Miao could be the first to bring it back.

It's not that Qin Miao doesn't have the talent to do the above things, it can even be said that many people in the paddock feel that Qin Miao's talent is not inferior to Verstappen and Hamilton.

To put it more bluntly, Qin Miao can be said to be the most talented driver among the younger generation, and there is no one.

But he still has a long way to go, he still needs to continue to grow and experience, this is only his first season in F1, although the starting point is very high, a season has not been more than half of the season to complete some of the middle and lower drivers may not be able to complete the whole career, but he still has a lot of room to grow this is an indisputable fact.

So no one doubted that Qin Miao could challenge Hamilton one day, but everyone didn't think it was today, and they didn't think it was the British Grand Prix at Hamilton's home stadium.

Maybe the people who believe that Qin Miao can challenge Hamilton at this time are not only Qin Miao's lover Qiu Meng, but also the neighbors who are sitting in the hometown community watching the game at this time and Qin Miao's mother.

On the track, Qin Miao constantly used the detection program on the car to detect the various states of the car.

The process is very fast, and it feels a bit like using a computer in the early days of comparing cards, and refreshing the desktop with F4 at every turn.

However, as the computer performance becomes stronger and stronger, and the CPU performance is getting better and better, Qin Miao basically hasn't pressed F4 when he plays the computer now, and he hasn't taken the initiative to right-click to refresh his computer desktop.

The main highlight of this is that one is idle.

Soon after, under the notice of the race officer, Reyes and the others withdrew, and the warm-up lap began.

When Qin Miao warmed up the tire circle, he just ran normally, and it could even be said that he ran a little slowly.

The main thing to heat up the tires is to accelerate and then brake, but the warm-up lap is about to run, and when Qin Miao wants to stop the car in his starting position, he comes to a very heavy brake, and the brake pads are directly dry to more than 600 degrees.

After the heavy braking, Qin Miao slowly stopped his car on the grid.

When parking, the front wheel is just a little bit closer, and the white parking line is pressed on about one centimeter.

After parking, Qin Miao began to wait for the official start of the sprint qualifying race.

After a minute or so, the follow-up cars stopped on their grid one after another.

And at this time, Qin Miao had already seen that his brakes were squeezing outward.

Because of the high temperature of the brakes, Qin Miao's tires are still maintained at a temperature of about 94° at this time, which is the best working temperature.

As the medical van at the back of the formation took place, the green flag waved and the five red lights lit up one by one.

Qin Miao took a deep breath, then held her breath halfway through her exhalation, her eyes staring at the five red lights above.

"Duh... Honk... Honk... Honk... Honk!! ”

"Boom!"

At the moment when the five red lights went out, Qin Miao violently stepped on half of the accelerator pedal, and as the speed of his car gradually accelerated, the depth of the accelerator pedal gradually increased, and finally when the speed of the car came to 110 kilometers per hour, Qin Miao completely stepped on the accelerator stroke of the car.

It was only at this time that Qin Miao was sure that there was nothing wrong with his start.

From this section after the start to the middle of T1, there is still a straight road, and when he crossed this straight road, Qin Miao also took the time to look at his rearview mirror, wanting to determine the specific location of Hamilton.

It's just that what Qin Miao didn't expect was that Hamilton didn't start well, and Verstappen started a lot faster than Hamilton.

So Qin Miao can see that Verstappen ate Hamilton on the outside before entering T1, and surpassed Hamilton before T1, sucking Qin Miao's wake into T1.

To be honest, Qin Miao at that time could actually help Hamilton block Verstappen, just need to go a little inside when entering Q1, and the acceleration of Verstappen T1 out of the corner will be affected by the wake of his car.

But Qin Miao didn't do this, he just entered and exited the bend normally.

The reason for doing this is that Qin Miao feels that Verstappen is easier to defend than Hamilton.

After all, Qin Miao has fought with Verstappen on the field, and he can't be said to know his offensive habits, but he knows the roots.

Knowing what attacking tactics he will use in which corners, and also knowing his cornering habits.

Therefore, if Verstappen is put in front, Qin Miao's defensive pressure will be much less.

Although there were some accidents on the field after the start, at least on the whole, it was in Qin Miao's interests.

Everyone was a little surprised by Hamilton's performance at the start of today's game.

Qin Miao pushed a little bit in the first lap after the start, and Hamilton behind him was not idle, constantly putting pressure on Verstappen in the process of the game, trying to overtake the opponent, while Verstappen defended relatively deadly and did not leave any chance for the rear car.

In fact, in terms of high-speed corners, Red Bull is faster than Mercedes, so after blocking Hamilton's attack in the first time period, Verstappen threw Hamilton away in the combination of T10-T14 in the second time period.

After getting out of the T14, Verstappen directly pulled Hamilton behind him by 0.5 seconds, which shows the terrifying speed of Red Bull in high-speed corners.

But even so, Verstappen did not shorten the distance with Qin Miao.

Although Mei Ben is not as good as your Red Bull in the high-speed corners, Qin Miao's soft tires, and the first few corners of the first and second time periods fought so fiercely, Qin Miao had already pulled away for more than a second.

After running the first lap, the live director also gave the gap between the drivers and the drivers, Qin Miao has pulled Verstappen 1.2 seconds, Hamilton is 1.1 seconds behind Verstappen, and none of the top three drivers can eat anyone's DRS.

In fact, the performance of the first three drivers was not the brightest in the race, and the brightest person among the 20 drivers was actually the head of the race, Alonso.

He started from the eleventh position on soft tyres and went straight to fifth after the first lap, which stood out for an unbelievable and old man.

Kimi, who also started on soft tyres, also moved up four positions to 13th.

On the second lap, Qin Miao continued to widen the gap between herself and Verstappen behind her, coming to 1.6 seconds.

However, after the gap reached 1.6 seconds, Qin Miao began to slow down his pace.

That's about 1.6 seconds behind Verstappen to protect the tyres.

If Verstappen gets closer, Qin Miao will rely on his tire advantage to advance a little, and slow down the pace a little if he pulls away.

It feels like you're fishing.

After that, there was no change of place between the drivers in the group ahead.

Qin Miao was quietly protecting the tire in the front, and because Qin Miao was creating turbulence in front, Verstappen had no way to open the gap with Hamilton in the rear in a short time, so the two quickly fell into a struggle.

Although the picture at this time was a little different from what Qin Miao had expected at the beginning of the game, the result was the same.

This calm picture lasted until lap 6.

The Pérez T13, which lost two positions after the start, made a mistake when exiting the corner, and was a little more anxious when giving fuel, causing the rear wheel to lose its grip directly, and the whole car directly slid out of the broadcast screen.

Fortunately, there was no crash, and I stopped on the grass about two meters from the parapet before staggering back to the track.

However, his tires are scrapped, and so is this sprint qualifying.

But that's all there is to see in this sprint qualifying session, because there is basically nothing to see on the track other than that.

It's not that there aren't drivers overtaking and defending each other on the field.

But everyone has a clear score, it's just a sprint qualifying race, and you won't get any points except for the top three.

But if you retire in the middle of a race, tomorrow's race points and team sponsor exposure will be gone.

Therefore, everyone's attack and defense are very restrained, and there is no overtaking driver in the main race stage, and the overtaking driver is not giving an inch.

As long as you're faster than the car in front, have DRS, and have a strong desire to overtake, the driver in front will not defend very hard.

It's just standing on the inside line, and if you overtake the outside line, then he will admit it.

After all, only the top three drivers have points in this race, and everyone can choose their tires to start freely in the main race stage, and the ranking in the sprint qualifying stage is obviously not as important as a smooth start in the main race stage.

So apart from the first three drivers, no driver will risk retiring and crashing to overtake.

After 17 laps, Qin Miao, Verstappen and Hamilton crossed the line one after another.

This sprint qualifying race came to an end with a bit of a tiger.

In fact, after this point is normally said, the drivers normally go to participate in the post-race interview, and then receive a prize and it is over.

But the time for this sprint qualifying race was too short, not an hour.

So the FIA did a pre-race parade of floats after the race. (End of chapter)
