Although this kind of scraping may only leave a trace in the slow state, it is in the high-speed corner at more than 300 kilometers per hour, the overall balance of the car has reached an extremely delicate state.

And in such a state, the slightest instability intervenes, and the consequence is that the car instantly loses control.

And that's what happened with Verstappen's cars.

The moment Hamilton hit it, the car lost control, the car as a whole turned in place, the right rear wheel of the collision fell off, the whole body quickly rushed through the concrete ground behind the T9 and rushed into the gravel buffer, and then continued to rotate by the centripetal force when entering the corner, and then the car was about to hit the tire wall and remained parallel to the tire wall.

Then, in a huge cloud of smoke, Verstappen slammed into the tire-made wall with terrifying kinetic energy.

Be quiet.

In the moments following Verstappen's crash, there was a moment of silence inside and outside the paddock.

Then there was a loud commotion.

On the command podium of Red Bull Racing, Horner has begun to have a cold sweat on his face, as a practitioner in the racing industry, Horner knows how much inertia this impact has.

And soon the data from the car's sensors also confirmed Horner's fears, Verstappen and his car suffered 51 G's impact from the impact just now.

Normal people are basically shattered directly when they receive such a big impact.

And even if the rider is wrapped in a monocoque and countless high-tech protective equipment, there is no guarantee that the rider inside the car is 100% safe.

After Verstappen's crash, his track engineer shouted in his TR with some forced composure: "Max, are you okay?" ”

"Max, can you hear me?"

At this time, Verstappen had not yet spoken, and seeing that Verstappen had not spoken, everyone on the Red Bull Racing side was half cold in their hearts.

A bad feeling crept into everyone's minds.

But just as they were all about to despair, Verstappen's groans of pain came through TR: "Uh...... Yes...... Drink......"

Although it can be heard from the sound that Verstappen will not be in good shape at this time, everyone on the Red Bull side is relieved after hearing Verstappen's voice, after all, the drivers' TR will generally not be turned on, and the team will only hear the driver's voice after the driver presses the TR button.

So hearing Verstappen's voice at this time means that he still has the strength to press the button, and his brain is also clear, which shows in disguise that Verstappen's state at this time should not be too bad.

At the same time, a yellow flag appeared on the track, and soon after, the yellow flag on the track was transformed into a red flag.

And in the process, Qin Miao didn't even know what was going on.

The picture is given to Verstappen, although the director did not give Verstappen a shot at this time, but when Matthew came to Verstappen's side, Verstappen's head could be seen still moving.

And as Matthew approached, the medical vehicle also came to Verstappen's side.

The reason why the medical vehicle came so quickly was that it followed the drivers at the start, and after the first lap of the start, the medical vehicle returned to the FIA garage on standby.

At this time, Qin Miao learned what happened on the track through the team TR.

To be honest, it was a real surprise.

Although these two people have not been fighting on the track once or twice, in Qin Miao's impression, these two people are the kind of drivers who are hard enough in their own skills, and it stands to reason that both of them should have a sense of proportion in their hearts when fighting cars, and they will not make the scene too ugly.

But how did this happen so well?

The good news is that Verstappen took the initiative to climb out of the car after a while in the car, and the doctor who rushed out of the medical car immediately began to inquire about Verstappen's status and made sure that he had no internal bleeding or other problems.

Although Verstappen said he was not injured, an ambulance was dispatched from the FIA's side.

Verstappen waved to the audience before entering the ambulance, reassuring them that he was fine.

The other drivers were back in the pits at this time.

At this time, the pit lane was crowded, and all the team staff came to their team's drivers' cars from their team's P room with support equipment.

After Qin Miao got out of the car, he found that the person behind him had changed from Hamilton to Leclerc.

It should be that after Hamilton and Verstappen collided, their rhythm was lost again, and Le Lao Si picked up a big leak to get this position, in terms of Ferrari's characteristics, they are indeed quite suitable for the Silverstone track, but after all, the research and development has been stopped, and the speed is naturally not comparable to Mercedes.

So Qin Miao knew that if he could, he would need to help Le Lao Si defend Hamilton after the game restarted later, and no matter how bad it was, he would consume a little more Hamilton's tires.

After having an idea in his heart, Qin Miao didn't pay too much attention to Le Laosi, the two of them were friends off the field, yes, but on the track, Le Laosi was just a tool man.

Taking off the helmet and head covering, Qin Miao asked while taking the water handed over by Barber, "What's wrong?" ”

Barber explained: "Hamilton and Verstappen collided in the Copse corner and Verstappen hit the wall, and Hamilton's car wasn't a big problem, I couldn't explain the other details, you just went to the team podium and watched the replays. ”

Anyway, there was nothing to do, and after hearing Bobble's suggestion, Qin Miao simply handed over his equipment to Bobble, and took out a cooled ice vest from the multi-functional backpack that Bobble was carrying behind him and put it on himself, and then went to the command platform of the Meiben team.

After saying hello to Frankie, Frankie brought up the picture just now for Qin Miao.

After reading it, starting from the perspective of a driver, Qin Miao felt that both of them had problems in this wave.

Hamilton, who had no line rights, did not leave room for Verstappen and chose to squeeze hard inside in an attempt to push Verstappen outward.

Verstappen, on the other hand, was also a head iron, and he didn't pay attention to Hamilton behind him after the corner, and began to give oil after the corner.

In the end, the two did not give in to each other, which led to this serious track accident.

During this time, Red Bull engineers also came to Verstappen, paralyzed next to the car on the track, and began to assess the extent of the damage.

He is also responsible for the collection and confidentiality of the carcass

After determining the process of the crash and knowing that Verstappen was nothing serious, Qin Miao didn't care.

As dangerous as the crash was, Verstappen probably wouldn't have been able to get out of the car on his own as he had just done.

But to put it selfishly, the game has to go on, and Verstappen's withdrawal is still good news for Qin Miao.

patted Frankie on the shoulder, and said hello to the other Meiben staff who were also on the command platform, and Qin Miao went to the P room of the team.

Although there is a lot of data in the command platform, there is also a lot of data in the P room, and there is air conditioning, so there is no need to occupy the seats of other staff, and the most important thing is that his daughter-in-law is in the P room of the team.

When Qin Miao returned to the team's P room, she saw Qiu Meng sitting in the position where Qin Miao usually waited for the start of the game, with a team-specific noise-canceling headset on her head.

After seeing Qin Miao come back, Qiu Meng was not surprised by anything, but waited for Qin Miao to come to him before he asked with some curiosity: "Brother, with your understanding, how should the FIA punish this car accident?" ”

Although as the two of them, it is not too suitable to talk about this matter on the current occasion, Qiu Meng asked Qin Miao in Chinese, and it is also the dialect of the two people's hometown, so there is no need to worry about being listened to.

Even if there are many foreigners who can understand Chinese and can speak Chinese now, there are basically no people who can speak Chinese understand Chinese in the racing industry, not to mention that these two people still speak the Hunan dialect with different tones for ten miles.

"I don't know, but if I were the race officer, the accident on the first lap of the race would be a normal track accident, and I wouldn't be fined.

But from a driver's point of view, I would have given Hamilton a twenty-second penalty and had to get through the pits. Qin Miao leaned against the cabinet beside Qiu Meng.

Qiu Meng smiled helplessly: "I see you, you can't wait to directly punish Hamilton from the game." ”

Qin Miao didn't pretend to be anything, after Qiu Meng said this, Qin Miao nodded directly and admitted calmly: "That's right, I thought so too, but obviously this is unrealistic." ”

"Don't think about it so much, run at your own pace and try to get the championship back." Qiu Meng raised her small fist and encouraged.

Qin Miao nodded, and then asked curiously, "What about Toto?" ”

Qiu Meng said: "Hamilton and Verstappen went out as soon as they collided, and they should have gone to the officials of the FIA to operate, after all, there is still a lot of room for adjustment in the punishment of this matter." ”

Qin Miao nodded after hearing this, and then chatted with Qiu Meng while waiting for the game to restart.

It was about half an hour later that we were notified of the tournament and the game restarted at 3:45 p.m.

At this time, Toto also returned to the P room of the Mercedes team.

Toto first chatted with Hamilton to calm the other party's emotions, and then found Qin Miao.

Qin Miao originally thought that Toto was looking for himself to let himself let Hamilton a little during the race, and maybe even wanted to let himself block Leclerc, and then let Hamilton catch up, but Toto reached out and patted Qin Miao's arm and said: "Wait for a while, run your own rhythm, I don't want the two of you to have the same accident on the track." ”

Toto's words were somewhat meaningful, but Qin Miao didn't understand.

So Qin Miao only understood the superficial meaning of Toto's words, that is, Toto didn't want to see himself and Hamilton retreat, or someone withdrawing because of the bucket car, so Qin Miao packed the ticket and said: "Don't worry, my defense is measured." ”

After hearing Qin Miao's words, Toto smiled and encouraged Qin Miao twice, and then the time was almost up, and Qin Miao returned to his racing car.

The tournament hasn't restarted yet, but it's not long before it starts.

The 5-minute countdown in the bottom right corner of the screen is already running.

After a long wait, the countdown went to zero.

The indicator light in front of Qin Miao turned green, and Qin Miao drove his car behind the safety car onto the track.

Following the safety car to simply run an opening lap and then a warm-up lap, Qin Miao slowly stopped at his starting position, which was already his pole position start in the second race stage today.

After parking, Qin Miao began to wait again.

There was no green flag after the restart, and after the last car was parked in its place, the five red lights began to light up one by one.

"Five red lights go out, the game is back!"

"Let's see how Qin Miao got off to a good start this time."

"Leclerc's start was very good, much faster than Qin Miao, and after the start, he began to prepare to suppress Qin Miao inside."

"Can Qin Miao's side hold his position at Turn 1?"

"Beautiful, Qin Miao has kept his position, and the rankings of the top three riders have not changed much since the start."

……

On the field, Qin Miao found that he didn't get up as well as Leclerc after starting, but Ferrari's car was still a little worse after all, so he quickly took back his position after falling behind for a short time at the start.

And Hamilton, who was behind him, probably considered that his lap time was faster than that of Leclerc and Qin Miao, and the dangerous picture just now was still in front of him, so Hamilton's start was quite smooth, and he didn't try to brake late to grab the position or anything when he got out of T1.

After all, with DRS, he has the confidence to surpass the previous two, and without Verstappen, there is no need to rush.

After that, in the first time session, there was no change in the position of the top three drivers.

Leclerc's car was not good enough to catch up with Qin Miao, while Hamilton chose to keep a low profile and endure the killing.

Seeing this, Qin Miao was ready to slightly keep the gap between himself and Leclerc at a little more than a second.

Dealing with Verstappen, Qin Miao didn't dare to control the gap so small, but against Ferrari, Qin Miao was confident that he would not let the other party surpass him while giving Ferrari DRS, and the other party would have to eat his own dirty air flow in the corner.

In fact, Qin Miao now has two choices, the first is to exert his speed at the beginning, and take advantage of the dirty air flow in front of him to push with all his might, regardless of the life or death of Leclerc behind him.

And after this choice, it is possible that Leclerc will be overtaken by Hamilton within five laps, and then the rest of the time will be spent chasing Qin Miao.

Of course, it is also possible that Leclerc does not have the dirty air flow created by Qin Miao in front of him, but it is much easier to defend Hamilton.

And the second option is the one Qin Miao is choosing now, pressing the speed, using the dirty airflow to control the speed of all the riders behind him.

Then relied on his terrifying fetal protection ability and defensive ability to defend against Leclerc and Hamilton.

As long as Leclerc defends Hamilton long enough, Hamilton's tires will be worn and degraded in a large area due to continuous attacking, so that Qin Miao's defense against Hamilton will be much easier.

And after these two options are laid out, it is self-evident which one to choose.

After all, the first option is uncontrollable, and the second option Qin Miao has a certain amount of room for maneuver, rather than believing in luck, Qin Miao is more willing to believe in his own ability, so he chose the second one.

On the fourth lap, there was no change in position between the top riders.

On lap five, after the top few drivers had passed T4, the race gave the penalty for the collision between Hamilton and Verstappen.

Hamilton was penalized for ten seconds and didn't even get through the pits.

Of course, the choice should be taken into account that this is the first lap of the race, and the collision between Hamilton and Verstappen can only be regarded as a normal track accident, but Verstappen has withdrawn, so he needs to give an explanation to Red Bull, so Hamilton was punished by 10 seconds.

Of course, Toto's operation also played a certain role in this process, but it is not known what Toto and the event director talked about in this process.

However, this was only a judgment made by Qin Miao, who was in the lead, after hearing Frankie's punishment notice about Hamilton and the premise that Toto had disappeared for a while.

Whether this is the case or not, Qin Miao is not sure.

After that, Qin Miao had been controlling his speed.

On the sixth lap, DRS opens.

Leclerc also obviously saw Qin Miao's intentions, and when T4 took a wider exit line, he wanted to challenge Qin Miao's position with the next DRS.

After all, who hasn't lost his temper yet, familiar to familiar, you Qin Miao used me as a gun to attack your teammates, I definitely can't accept it.

It's a pity that Qin Miao's 100 defensive attributes have set up a wall of sighs in front of everyone who wants to attack Qin Miao, although Leclerc relies on the full release of ERS and the blessing of oil-rich mode and DRS, and his speed is extremely fast.

But the gap of about one second is not something that can be smoothed out by a DRS.

Through the first section of the DRS area on the track, Leclerc was only able to catch up to Qin Miao's position 0.4 seconds behind.

And in the next three combination corners of T6, T7 and T8, Qin Miao relied on the advantage of his car in the low-speed corners and slightly more tire consumption, and expanded the gap between himself and Leclerc to 0.7 seconds.

Although in the next section of the full-throttle area, Leclerc can eat Qin Miao's wake.

However, Mei Ben's acceleration and speed on the straight were much faster than Ferrari's, so Leclerc didn't even find a chance to pull pressure behind Qin Miao.

And because of the excessive power consumption of ERS, after coming out of T14, Leclerc was also pumped by Hamilton behind him.

But fortunately, T15 is a high-speed corner that doesn't slow down, and Leclerc isn't too difficult to defend.

After trying an attack and failing, Leclerc also dispelled the idea of continuing to attack Qin Miao.

No way, the speed gap between Mercedes and Ferrari is a little too big, and as Qin Miao's friend, Leclerc clearly knows how rebellious Qin Miao's defensive ability is.

When the two were playing on the simulator, unless Qin Miao released the water, Leclerc really never succeeded in surpassing Qin Miao.

And he also scored to defend Hamilton behind him, so the attack just now was the first and only time Leclerc was willful in this game.

However, Leclerc's attack can be regarded as a wake-up call for Qin Miao, although Ferrari is open this season, Leclerc is still a little threatened.

So on the eighth lap, Qin Miao controlled the gap between herself and Leclerc to about 1.5 seconds.

Under this gap, Leclerc will also be affected by the turbulence brought up by Qin Miao's car, but he can't absorb Qin Miao's wake, which is the safest way.

It's just that this gap is relatively large, and Leclerc will lose a little bit less speed because of turbulence.

On lap nine, Hamilton had enough power to overtake Leclerc on lap 1.

After all, he still has a 10-second penalty on his body, and if he keeps following Leclerc, Hamilton may even fall directly behind Stroll after the 10-second penalty comes out after the pit stop.

So now Hamilton needs to speed up.

It's just that Leclerc has confirmed that he no longer has any illusions about Qin Miao's position in this game, but has been guarding Hamilton behind him after trying his best to keep his current position.

Now that Leclerc saw that Hamilton had the idea of doing something to himself, ERS, who had been charging since the lap after trying to attack Qin Miao, also played a key role at this moment.

Hamilton couldn't catch up to the DRS zone behind Leclerc for a while.

Since then, the two have been entangled with each other, and they have been a little bored for a while, but the only highlight of this game has become Pérez.

With only 11 laps to go, Pérez went from 19th to 12th and was heading towards the points zone.

Spectators in other countries will be a little dissatisfied when they see this race, after all, apart from the scene when Verstappen rushed off the track just now, there is nothing to see and see on this track.

However, the domestic audience didn't think so, seeing Qin Miao leading from the beginning of the game, they were all as happy as if they were celebrating the New Year.

Of course, some viewers who don't know much about F1, or who are just getting started, are a little worried when they see that Qin Miao has never opened the gap with Leclerc, and the time has been kept at about 1.5 seconds.

And the old bird knew that Qin Miao was fighting cattle across the mountain, seemingly defending Leclerc with speed, but actually defending Hamilton.

In the second time session of lap 15, Leclerc suddenly reported that his car's engine had stopped for a moment, and although it was quickly repaired by himself, he lost a lot of speed.

The gap of two seconds between Hamilton and Hamilton was reduced to just over a second in a short period of time.

Qin Miao, who had experienced the feeling of healthy racing in F2 in front of him, suddenly found that he couldn't see the red in the rearview mirror after passing the T14, and after looking at the ranking data on the steering wheel, he knew that Leclerc had lost speed. (End of chapter)
