255:Wet Start (Free 1/5)
Qin Miao moved a stool and sat down beside Toto, then scratched his head and replied: "The track conditions are very poor, the water mist is too big, and once the speed is raised, you can't see the driver in front of you clearly."
The track was too slippery, and the all-wet tyres I used were prone to oversteer even if they were very light when they were out of the corner, so seriously, the FIA should have postponed the race. ”
As soon as Qin Miao finished speaking, Hamilton also came to Qin Miao's side, and also heard what Qin Miao had just said.
After putting a hand on Qin Miao's shoulder, Hamilton said to Toto: "Yesterday, it was because the red flag was dispatched too late in the race that it caused Norris's crash, and now the race should extend the start time of the race in consideration of the lessons of the previous car." ”
Qin Miao glanced back at the old man and asked with some curiosity: "Lewis, how did your tuning set perform on the track today?" ”
Although Qin Miao used a set of high downforce rear wings in this game, the overall aerodynamic layout was still set at the level of medium and high downforce, and the downforce of the car was not full, but Hamilton was different, his aerodynamic tuning was more inclined to high downforce, so after seeing that Hamilton also came down, Qin Miao asked a little curiously.
Hamilton also shook his head: "It's not good to run, it's hard to drive a car, what about you?" It shouldn't be too good. ”
"Seriously, in the current situation of Spa Francorcorchamps, cats have to slip and fall on the track." Qin Miao complained.
Toto said to Ron McDows, who is in charge of contacting the FIA, "Ron, and James suggested that the race be postponed, the current track conditions are not suitable for the race. ”
Ron McDows nodded and then used the team's TR to contact the FIA's race officer, and Hamilton reached out and patted Qin Miao's shoulder after getting the result he wanted, and left.
Qin Miao saw that the game couldn't start in a short time, and after returning to her position, she also began to be in a daze.
What? You ask Qin Miao what about the Switch that she was still using yesterday?
Qin Miao was fined another 5,000 euros by the team, and Barber was also fined, and the Switch that Qin Miao brought to the paddock this week was also confiscated by Toto, and said that it would only be returned to Qin Miao after the game was over.
So during the time of waiting for the game to restart, all Qin Miao could do was to be in a daze.
Just when Qin Miao was waiting for the start of the race in a daze, other teams also went out to run tests during this time, including the Red Bull Racing Team.
At this time, a yellow flag suddenly appeared on the track, and when the camera cut over, the Red Bull car driven by Pérez was seen smothered against the parapet wall on the side of the track.
You must know that it is the testing stage, not the official start of the race, there is no requirement for speed, but in this case, Pérez actually drove his car into the parapet......
For a while, I didn't know whether to say that Red Bull's car was difficult to drive or that Pérez's driving skills were not good.
In short, Matthew on the track had been busy for a while, cleaning up the wreckage of Pérez's car.
There is good news for Qin Miao and Meiben, that is, after Pérez crashed, he directly smashed the right front suspension of his car.
In the period before the start of the race, it was impossible for Red Bull to repair the damage in such a short period of time, even if all the mechanics were incarnated as Tony Stark, so the management of the Red Bull Racing team decided to retire Pérez after discussing it for a while.
And withdrawing from the testing phase before the start of the competition is indeed a bit unacceptable.
Many people are also beginning to wonder if Pérez can now afford to be Toro Rosso No. 2.
After all, compared to the No. 2 driver who also joined the team in the first year of the Mercedes team, Pérez at this time basically couldn't give any help to Verstappen, the No. 1 driver of Red Bull.
But it's not incomprehensible, after all, Red Bull's cars are notoriously difficult to drive, and only a talented driver like Verstappen can drive them.
Ten minutes later, the wreckage of the Pérez car had been removed from the track, and the damaged parapet had been restored.
At the same time, the teams were told to move their cars and parts to the track, and when the rain had subsided, they were ready to start the race.
The starting order for the Belgian Circuit is as follows:
First row: Verstappen, Russell.
Second row: Hamilton, Qin Miao.
Third row: Ricciardo, Sebastian Vettel.
Fourth row: Gasly, Pérez (Retired due to crash, but the grid will not be postponed and this position will be vacated.) )
Fifth row: Ocon, Leclerc.
Sixth row: Latifi, Sainz.
Seventh row: Alonso, Giovinaz.
Eighth row: Norris, Yuki Tsunoda.
Ninth row: Mick Schumacher, Mazepin.
Tenth row: Stroll.
Norris made it to Q3 and it stands to reason that he should start at the bottom of 10th.
However, because of the crash, Norris's gearbox was damaged, and McLaren thought about it and decided to give Norris a new one, so he received a five-place penalty before starting.
Kimi, meanwhile, was sent to the pit lane for a new set of rear wings after qualifying.
So there were only 18 drivers on the track at this point.
During this time, Qin Miao and all the staff of his crew stayed on the track, waiting for the rain to lighten and wait for the FIA race officer to give a notice.
Barber stuck an umbrella in Qin Miao's cockpit, just enough to block all the rain, although everyone was wearing rainproof jackets, but the weather on the Spa track today was really not too good.
Anyone who has experienced winter knows that the cold outside in winter is not because of the temperature, but because of the wind.
Therefore, although the temperature of the track at this time is only about 12 degrees, the body temperature is only in the single digits, and even wearing a windproof jacket will feel cold.
But Qin Miao was different, sitting in the racing monocoque behind him, there was a steady stream of heat from the racing engine, to be honest, Qin Miao even felt a trace of heat in such an environment.
After three minutes on the track, the FIA gave a hint that the start of the race would be delayed by ten minutes.
At the same time, the on-site director also showed the pictures on the track, and I saw that there was basically a white expanse in the distance.
And the white fog that everyone sees is basically raindrops.
After receiving the FIA's prompt, the team quickly pulled up the canopy for the car, after all, the car stayed on the track for a long time, and being exposed to the rain was a chronic damage to the car itself.
