It is worth mentioning that because of Latifi's collision, Norris was directly knocked to the thirteenth, and finally missed Q3.

And when someone comes down, someone will naturally go up, and Giovinaz picked up the wallet dropped by Norris and successfully advanced to Q3.

Q2 also drew a comma in the collision between the two Williams drivers.

Qin Miao also completed his first effective flight lap before Russell blew the horn of the crash, and Qin Miao still ran on the old soft tires used in Q1 at that time, so after Q2 stopped watching, Qin Miao was the eighth thrilling advance.

However, because of this, Qin Miao's tire reserve has become a new tire reserve of one white, one yellow and two red, and a set of soft tires that have run two out laps, but have not run over the flight lap.

There weren't so many accidents on the track in Q3, and because there were nearly half fewer cars on the track, the team was a lot more casual when they released the cars.

And throughout Q3, Qin Miao's performance is very stable, but this is Verstappen's home after all, Verstappen is obviously more familiar with the track, and the number of exercises and time are far more than Qin Miao's, Qin Miao's speed is still a lot slower than his speed, but the speed gap between Qin Miao and Hamilton is not big.

At the end of the first flight lap in Q3, Qin Miao was in third place, with a gap of only 0.1 seconds with Hamilton.

And after the last flight lap of Q3, Qin Miao was still in third.

The final Q3 standings are as follows:

Pole position: Verstappen

2: Hamilton

3: Qin Miao

4: Gasly

5: Leclerc

6: Sainz

7: Giovinaz

8: Ocon

9: Alonso

10: Ricardo

……

"It's too fast, I can't catch up, I really can't catch up." Qin Miao's voice sounded in the TR of the Meiben team, somewhat helpless.

Without waiting for Frankie to speak, Toto comforted Qin Miao and said, "Don't be depressed Qin Miao, this is Verstappen's home field, and your victory over him on his home field is a surprise." ”

Of course, Toto didn't tell Qin Miao that Verstappen's fastest lap didn't even run out of DRS.

The post-race interview session was naturally Verstappen's happiest moment, with cheers and whistles all over the floor, and orange smoke rising from the trackside stands.

This is a unique way of celebration for Dutch fans and Verstappen fans, Qin Miao has already seen such a scene when he was at the Red Bull Ring, and it is true, orange smoke can drift down the wind to the track.

So when Verstappen's interview ended, Qin Miao looked at the smoke wafting on the track as if she were looking at the scenery.

Soon Verstappen's interview ended, and it was Hamilton's turn to be second.

After Hamilton's turn, the audience was not so polite, although the host waited for Hamilton to be interviewed and clearly said to the audience not to boo Hamilton, they need to give the seven-time champion due respect, but when Hamilton was interviewed, the scene was still full of boos and noise.

For a while, Hamilton couldn't hear the questions asked by the host, and the host couldn't hear what Hamilton said.

But after all, Hamilton has been in this industry for so long, and he knows very well what the fans at the scene are, so when Hamilton was interviewed, he was also full of desire to survive, and his words were full of praise for the Dutch fans and Zanderford on the track.

It was also because of Hamilton's words that his follow-up interviews were able to proceed normally, and the audience at the scene of the last two questions was still very face-saving and did not continue to shout.

Hamilton also reciprocated, and did not forget to wave to the audience when he left, so when Hamilton finished the interview and left, the audience also gave him applause and cheers.

And when Hamilton left the interview position, and Qin Miao went to be interviewed, Hamilton also patted Qin Miao's arm.

When Qin Miao looked over, Hamilton also gave Qin Miao a look.

Qin Miao nodded knowingly.

Hamilton's meaning is obvious: Little brother, the eldest brother has already set you a good example, if you want to be interviewed at the opponent's home stadium without being made unable to get off the stage by the audience, then learn from what the old brother just did, first praise the fans on the scene, praise anything casually, and then accept the interview normally.

After all, you don't wear a sycophant.

Qin Miao really understood.

So when Qin Miao was interviewed, she also praised the audience according to Hamilton's advice, saying that the audience was enthusiastic, the atmosphere of the track was very strong, and the track was very fun.

So when Qin Miao was interviewed, the audience was like Hamilton when he was interviewed, basically they didn't make too much noise for Qin Miao, and after Qin Miao's interview was over, they also gave Qin Miao a round of applause.

Naturally, the cheers and applause that Qin Miao and Hamilton received after the interview was not half as big as Verstappen's cheers alone.

After returning to the backstage and sorting out the equipment on her body a little, Qin Miao went to the post-game interview area with Hamilton and participated in the post-game press conference.

In this regard, Qin Miao and Hamilton have long been familiar with the road.

However, the local media in the Netherlands still focused more on Verstappen, and Qin Miao and Hamilton were also happy to be idle.

After that, Qin Miao didn't have any work, went back to the hotel to sleep, and then saw what the audience on the Internet said about Qin Miao's performance on the field now.

It is worth mentioning that Qin Miao has really nourished the appetite of domestic car fans, and now she is playing normally in the qualifying race, and she finally won the third place, and the domestic fans are not very satisfied.

[Why is it the third?] 】

[The gap between qualifying and Hamilton is only 0.15 seconds, and if you really pass a corner a little better, you may be second]

【Playing Genshin Impact】

[Didn't Qin Miao's mobile phone be confiscated by Toto? 】

[Doesn't Qin Miao still have a Switch? ] 】

[It seems to have been confiscated by Toto]

[It's miserable]

[I remembered my mobile phone that was confiscated by my teacher when I was studying]

[Why is the building crooked again? ] Now it's time to discuss Qin Miao's poor results in qualifying]

[Don't be so harsh on Qin Miao, after all, it's only the first grade, and it's already very powerful to drive the same Hamilton car without being pulled too far, okay]

[That is, your tastes have been nourished by Qin Miao, why didn't you say these things when there were no Chinese drivers before]

……

After being happy for a while, Qin Miao put away her mobile phone and went to sleep.

The next day, Qin Miao got up early, and when she came to the paddock, she found that there were more audiences at the scene, and none of the audience who arrived at the scene wore masks on their faces, as if the new crown did not exist, but it was an indisputable fact that Kimi was absent because of the diagnosis of the new crown.

can only be said to be worthy of being a foreigner, and he has always been running wild on the road of death.

It is worth mentioning that there were 360,000 spectators at this week's Grand Prix, and at least half of them were wearing orange vests.

I won't go into too much detail about the pre-race preparations, but this week's race Mercedes arranged different tactics for the two drivers.

Hamilton's side is preparing to use red, yellow and yellow stops, while Qin Miao's tactics are different, and the team's side is preparing for him to use yellow-red stops.

According to the team's simulation, this tactic will not affect Qin Miao's overall lap time, but also help Hamilton block Verstappen.

If Qin Miao's long-distance speed in this race is really fast enough, with Qin Miao's overtaking ability, he can finally compete for the championship podium in this race.

Although the team did determine the responsibilities and positions of the two drivers on the surface, Hamilton No. 1 and Qin Miao No. 2.

But Mei Ben's side still reserved the possibility for Qin Miao to challenge Hamilton.

So in the pre-race preparation before the start of the race, almost everyone was analysing what the different tyre choices of Hamilton and Qin Miao meant for this race, and what kind of problems they would cause to Verstappen.

In the drivers' parade stage before the race, the host asked Qin Miao bluntly in front of the audience: "Does Mercedes have any tactical preparations specifically for Red Bull in this race?" ”

Faced with this kind of problem, Qin Miao could only start playing Tai Chi.

And when Qin Miao, like all the other drivers, came to the track and completed the steps of listening to the Dutch national anthem before the start of the race, and returned to his car to wait for the start of the race, everything would gradually become clear.

After 10 minutes, all team crews withdrew from the track, and as the Rolex time came to the time directly above the track, all the drivers pulled out of their parking positions and began the warm-up lap in the Netherlands.

As soon as the warm-up circle began, orange smoke lit up in the stands of the spectators and Verstappen began to cheer for him.

But one thing to say, during the race, the smoke from the spectators is good for the drivers, because the drivers can determine the direction and force of the wind on the track at this time according to the direction of the smoke in the hands of the spectators.

It is worth mentioning that Pérez in this race was not in a good starting position, so he simply changed to a new set of engine parts and started from the pit lane on white tires.

The same driver as Pérez, even worse than Pérez, was Latifi, who crashed in qualifying and repaired the car with the help of the team's staff, but had to start from the team's P room in the race.

Soon, the warm-up lap was over, all 18 cars were parked on their grids, the medical car was in position behind them, and the five red lights began to light up one by one as the green flag waved.

……

"Five red lights go out, the game begins!" Feige's excited voice reached the ears of all domestic fans who were watching the game.

"Verstappen got off to a good start, and he opened up the gap with Hamilton at the beginning, what about Qin Miao?"

"Qin Miao's speed is very fast, he is already side by side with Hamilton! It's hard to believe that Qin Miao, who started on yellow tires, started faster than Hamilton and Verstappen, who started on red tires. ”

Although Qin Miao's starting speed was fast, even faster than Verstappen and Hamilton, Verstappen was blocking in front and Hamilton was blocking on the right.

There is grass on the right again, and Qin Miao is at risk of losing control if he goes to the right, so until he enters T1, Qin Miao can't improve his position, so he can only block behind Verstappen and enter T1 with Hamilton in turns.

After Verstappen entered T1, he took the defensive line, which happened to be in front of Hamilton, and Qin Miao just had a normal in-curve line in front of him.

It's just that because the starting speed is faster than Verstappen, and being blocked, Qin Miao slightly loosened the throttle at the beginning in order to prevent a crash, because of that foot of the throttle, Qin Miao's speed at this time was not enough, although Verstappen gave himself the offensive channel, but Qin Miao couldn't seize this opportunity.

However, in the turning of T1, Qin Miao took a large-angle intersection line, and Gasly behind Qin Miao also did not enter the corner as fast as Mei Ben, so he pulled out a certain gap for Qin Miao, and even the two Ferraris behind him were blocked by Gasly.

And this wave of Little Red Bull has a very obvious suspicion of collaborating with the enemy.

Of course, although Qin Miao had a sufficient speed advantage over Hamilton after the corner, T1 quickly took a large angle left bend after the corner, and Qin Miao completely lost the opportunity to overtake Hamilton at the starting stage.

"Oh, it's a pity, Qin Miao started very beautifully this time, but he was blocked by Verstappen and Hamilton together, so he could only slow down."

"If Qin Miao's qualifying speed is a little faster, starting from the second, relying on this excellent start, Qin Miao will definitely be able to get the first." Zhou Haoran also said regretfully: "After winning the first place, with Qin Miao's long-distance ability and tire protection ability, as well as defensive ability, Qin Miao is likely to bring back another championship for Mercedes at the Zandvoort Circuit in the Netherlands." ”

"Yes, it's a pity, but the game has just begun, and Qin Miao is still using yellow tires, I believe that the team has arranged different pit stop strategies for Qin Miao, let's continue to look forward to Qin Miao's performance in this game." Brother Bing concluded.

……

After T3, the first four drivers were already in place, but the Ferrari and Alpine team-mates behind were fighting for the starting position, and between the four drivers of the two teams, there was also a Arrow Giovinaz.

However, Arrow's car was still a little weak after all, after a few corners, the two Alpines that were still behind him had already overtaken him, and Giovinaz was overtaken by too many cars for a while, and there was no suitable lane for him to go, and his state was up and down.

There was even a collision with Alonso, but fortunately there was no damage to the car between the two, but the collision lost the rhythm of Giovinaz, and Ricciardo behind Giovinaz picked up a wallet.

Giovinaz's start was also miserable, starting seventh, losing three positions without finishing a lap and falling to tenth.
