256: The world is yellow and white, and it rains and does not run the Grand Prix
Hamilton, on the other side, directly unplugged the water diversion pipe and came out of his car to go to the toilet.
After that, all the drivers and team staff waited for the rain to stop.
And this wait, I waited for almost 20 minutes.
Although the rain was still heavy, the race knew that it could not continue to keep all the cars waiting on the track.
So the race will have all the staff withdrawn and let the safety car take all the cars for two laps to see how it goes.
If the rain is too heavy for a normal race, the safety car will take all the drivers into the pit lane and wait for the race to restart.
Once the drivers were led out of their grid with a safety car, spectators were able to see that the drivers were all on all-wet tyres.
After all, with the current track conditions, the semi-wet tires can't provide any grip for the car.
It is worth mentioning that when Qin Miao followed his teammate Hamilton out of T1, because there was too much water on the ground, the grip of the rear wheel when Qin Miao came out of the corner was not even as good as the rear inertia when he entered the corner.
Fortunately, Qin Miao chose to fight back as soon as she found that her body posture was wrong, and gave a little oil very lightly.
If it were a normal use of slick tires, the F1 car would not be able to drift on the track anyway, but Qin Miao is now using all-rain tires, and there is still water on the track, coupled with Qin Miao's exquisite racing control ability.
So Qin Miao's T1 slid through a standard drift corner.
One thing to say, Qin Miao's posture when she turned the corner was quite beautiful.
The audience sitting in T1 was still a little bored, because the stands of T1 were windward, not to mention the cold, and there was rain pouring into their faces.
But it was such a position that they saw T1 Qin Miao's drifting corner, so after Qin Miao's car passed this corner, the scene was a little quiet, and then violent cheers broke out.
Not to mention anything else, just Qin Miao's drift through this corner in this corner has already made all the spectators at the T1 corner worth the ticket price.
Although in the eyes of F1 drivers, drifting corners may only be useful in WRC events that are mainly unpaved.
But on the track of a Formula 1 car, drifting through corners is actually very slow, and even the wear and tear of the racing tires is a big challenge.
But drifting through corners is really handsome, okay!
And the director quickly gave Qin Miao a picture of Qin Miao's car when she just drifted around the corner.
"Wow, be careful, is Qin Miao slippery?" Fei Ge was a little surprised at first, but as Qin Miao drifted all the way around the corner, Fei Ge's tone changed: "Beautiful! Qin Miao's ability is still there, this way of saving the car is too handsome. ”
"It's a tail flick that throws the car out of the corner." Brother Bing said.
Zhou Haoran also said: "It is very difficult for F1 cars to drift, and it may be that there are pictures of drivers drifting on corners in track conditions like this. ”
And when Qin Miao was drifting, he was just caught by Hamilton's afterglow, and when he came out of the corner, he saw Qin Miao's car with his own eyes, and the whole car was sideways on the track.
Although Qin Miao still rescued his car in the end, Hamilton still asked in the team TR with some worry: "What's wrong with Qin Miao?" ”
……
And what about Qin Miao? Although the corner just now was indeed very handsome, the loss of grip on the rear wheel that time really scared Qin Miao into a cold sweat.
So much so that the rescue was successful, and he had returned to the car formation, he felt a chill behind his back, and his hands and feet were still a little cold.
"I'm fine, I just lost grip on the rear wheel." Before Frankie could ask in the TR of the team, Qin Miao said something in the TR.
Frankie couldn't say anything, Qin Miao knew more about racing cars than him, and so did some rules and taboos, so after making sure that Qin Miao didn't drift because of something wrong with the car, he instructed in the TR: "It's slippery in the rain, drive carefully." ”
"Okay, I'll take care of it." After replying, Qin Miao's driving after that was a lot more intimidating.
And the person who was also scared out of a cold sweat like Qin Miao was Toto Wolfe.
The monitor in front of him was always a live stream of the two drivers racing on the track.
He has been looking at these two screens since the start of the game, and Qin Miao's car has a large deflection when he enters the corner, and Toto naturally saw it for the first time.
And Qin Miao's picture made him involuntarily think of Norris yesterday and Pérez in today's car testing stage.
Both drivers were forced to retire by crashing into a wall due to heavy rain, which caused the car to spiral out of control.
Fortunately, Qin Miao finally stabilized his car and staged a beautiful drift for the audience.
However, after reading it, Toto still adjusted his sitting posture with some trepidation.
After this little episode, the game continued.
For a while after that, all the drivers on the track basically reported one thing to the team, and that was that the rain and fog on the track were so bad that everyone except Verstappen couldn't see the road ahead.
You must know that this is the water mist that appears when the safety car is leading, and if you really run, the rain and fog will be greater.
When the time comes, let alone look at the road ahead, the rain and fog may be so heavy that the rear car can't even find the reference objects on both sides of the field of vision.
I ran three laps under the guidance of the safety car, but the track situation did not improve after these three laps.
It was futile to keep running, so the FIA finally suspended the starting routine after three laps and let all the drivers go back to the pits.
Red flags were also shown.
And when he returned to the circle, Qin Miao was a little stunned to find that there was water seeping inside his helmet.
Qin Miao's eyes clearly felt a moist feeling.
Fortunately, after returning to the maintenance area, he followed the process of red flags, so Qin Miao could also get off.
After getting out of the car, Qin Miao hurriedly took off the helmet and sweat-absorbing hood.
Because Qin Miao and Hamilton are both in the front position, the distance back to room P is still relatively far.
However, Qin Miao and Barber still walked back to the P room of their team.
Mainly because there is no place for Qin Miao to hide from the rain on the track at this time, it is impossible for Qin Miao to sit directly in the car to hide from the rain during this time, although the inside of the racing monocoque is made according to the player's body data, but after all, it is a closed space, and the driver's body will become stiff if he is inactive for a long time.
After returning to room P, Qin Miao changed into a helmet as soon as possible, and then Barber prepared some food and water for Qin Miao.
What Barber prepared for Qin Miao was to eat some high-calorie food, such as chocolate and the like, and to drink normal water.
When Qin Miao was eating, a person holding a camera and carrying a microphone came to Qin Miao and started shooting at him.
Winking and smiling at the camera, Qin Miao didn't care about them and started eating by herself.
These are the people from Netflix, the same group of people who filmed "The Amazing Battlegrounds", and this week happened to be the time to shoot the Mercedes team, so they came.
At this time, Qin Miao was also completely desensitized to the lens, no matter what he saw was a mobile phone lens or any other lens, Qin Miao could directly ignore it and deal with it calmly.
After that, it began to enter a long waiting time, and the director of the scene put the camera on the audience at the scene for a while, and gave the heads of each team and the drivers chatting for a while, and gave Qin Miao's handsome drifting corners several times.
And after the picture of drifting over the corner is given, it will be given to Qin Miao, who is stuffing his cheeks with bulging faces.
Then give a video of an interview with other team staff.
When this process was gone through and Qin Miao was given again, Qin Miao was still eating, and there were more packaging bags of food on the table in front of him.
Fei Ge even exclaimed: "Huh? Why is Qin Miao still eating? ”
"The other riders eat to replenish energy, Qin Miao eats purely because of greed, right?"
"He eats so much, won't he lose his lap time because of the weight in a later race?"
……
In the midst of the boring chit-chat and farting of the commentators, time continued to pass.
Everyone is waiting for this rain to gradually become lighter, or even to stop.
And that wait, that's two hours.
That's right, this heavy rain has been raining for a total of two hours.
But fortunately, the competition finally waited for the time when the rain was a little lighter, and the competition sent a special water sweeper to sweep the water on the track.
After letting the safety car go out for a lap and making sure that there were certain driving conditions on the track at this point, all teams were notified that the race was about to restart in 10 minutes.
As soon as the news was issued, the originally dull atmosphere of the scene suddenly became lively, and the team staff and drivers quickly returned to their jobs.
Qin Miao walked quickly all the way, came to his racing car, and after putting on his equipment again, he lay down in the racing car.
And during this time, the drivers of other teams are also ready.
It is worth mentioning that Pérez, who crashed and retired during the test phase of the race, has all repaired the car at this time.
It's hard to imagine what the Red Bull Racing mechanics went through in those two hours.
Although Pérez's car was fixed, he couldn't get back to his original starting position like the other drivers when the race started, and he had to start from the pits like Kimi, who had a rear wing change after qualifying.
When the time was up, all the team staff withdrew from the pit lane.
At this point, only the safety car and the car behind the safety car are left in the pit lane.
Ten minutes later, the pit lane light turned green and the safety car pulled out, followed by the F1 cars behind him.
However, the drivers had just come out for a lap and returned to the pit lane at the request of the race, and the race went out again with a red flag, and the rain on the track was still a little too heavy to run.
And this wait, just wait until the end of the game.
……
Finally, three hours after the start of the game, the tournament announced that this game was over, and the subsequent games were not running.
Because an F1 race has a time limit, normally it is only four hours, and if the race is not finished after four hours, the race will be terminated.
Although the local circuit signed a contract with the FIA for F1 to come and race, the F1 broadcasters also had a time limit in terms of broadcasting, and other programs had to be broadcast after the time out.
So, this is the end of this rainy Belgian Grand Prix.
The team and drivers packed their belongings and prepared to make their way to the next stop, Verstappen's hometown, the Netherlands.
However, because all the drivers had run a few laps of the track, even though they were led by a safety car, it was a few laps.
So the top 10 drivers in this race will still have points in their accounts.
It's just that the top 10 drivers in this race will only receive half as many points as they would have since finished the race.
So the standings and scores after this game are as follows:
1: Verstappen +13
2: Russell +9
3: Hamilton +8
4: Qin Miao +6
5: Ricardo +5
6: Vettel +4
7: Gasly +3
8: Ocon +2
9: Leclerc +1
10: Latifi +1
If you want to say that the most unlucky person in this game is definitely Pérez.
After all, according to the original qualifying ranking, he ranked fifth, which means that if the race ended due to time constraints, he could get a minimum of 5 points, but he just had a problem in the preparation stage before the race, and hit the track wall and knocked himself out of the race.
Although Red Bull hurriedly repaired Pérez's car, it was impossible for him to come back.
So after this race, the overall drivers' standings are as follows:
1: Qin Miao 210
2: Hamilton 191
3: Verstappen 183
4: Norris 102
5: Pérez 94
6: Leclerc 89
7: Sainz 69
8: Ricardo 54
9: Gasly 44
10: Vettel 44
11: Alonso 33
12: Ocon 33
13: Stroll 16
14: Tsunoda 12
15: Russell 9
16: Latifi 3
17:Kimi1
Although Qin Miao was not as fast as his two competitors in this game, his ranking after the game was not high.
However, the number of points awarded to the drivers in this race was not many after all, so Qin Miao's position in the overall standings did not change after the Belgian Grand Prix.
All that has changed is the points gap between him and Hamilton and Verstappen.
At this time, there is a difference of 19 points between Qin Miao and Hamilton, and a difference of 27 points between Qin Miao and Hamilton.
On top of that, Williams' drivers and team celebrated the New Year, scoring two cars, and Russell finished second and finished on the final podium.
So after the end, both Williams drivers appeared in the drivers' standings, one fifteenth and one seventeenth.
The only drivers who didn't score points this season were Gio Vinaz and Haas.
