263:Zandford's Wall of Sighs (free 5/5)

After Verstappen, who had an advantage, saw Qin Miao's action, he felt that this was not a flaw that Qin Miao sold himself like in the first few corners, Qin Miao did this in order to make the next DRS straight not be surpassed by himself.

The opportunity is fleeting, it is very difficult to surpass Qin Miao, if you enter the inside line at this time, the possibility of surpassing Qin Miao after Verstappen is much greater.

Advantages are also a process of accumulation, so Verstappen decisively chose to drill into Qin Miao's inner line after seeing the opportunity.

Although Verstappen stood on the inside line when he came out of the corner and out of the corner, Verstappen didn't dare to blow up with Qin Miao when he came out of the corner.

When Verstappen was attacking and defending with Qin Miao, he didn't dare to give the choice of crashing or not to the opponent like before.

Verstappen used to be: I'll force you out of the corner, and the choice is yours to crash or not.

If you want to crash with me, then you won't let me, if you don't want to crash with me, you can honestly slow down and go outside.

Verstappen and Red Bull's team have analyzed the psychological portrait of Qin Miao, who is a person who likes to be tough within the rules.

If Verstappen gave the choice to Qin Miao at this time, let him choose one of the two.

Relying on his own wire rights, Qin Miao will most likely choose to collide directly with Verstappen to see if Mei Ben's gold suspension is worthy of its reputation or whether Red Bull's tires are hard enough.

And this is Verstappen's home stadium after all, and Verstappen doesn't want to retire so sloppily.

So when it came out of the corner, Verstappen didn't take the best way out of the corner.

As a result, although Verstappen was side by side with Qin Miao when he came out of the corner, Qin Miao briefly opened the gap between himself and Verstappen after coming out of the corner to the big straight.

This situation was not alleviated until Verstappen's DRS was opened, and as time went by, Verstappen gradually caught up with Qin Miao, and completed the tap for Qin Miao again at the end of the second time period, but before entering the braking point, Verstappen did not complete the complete overtaking of Qin Miao because the line was not particularly good, and the two entered the T11 side by side.

Because the T10 was out of the corner, Qin Miao took the outside line, relying on Qin Miao's ERS, which had saved more than 80% of the power reserves, Qin Miao was not overtaken by Verstappen in the DRS area.

And after arriving at T11, Qin Miao's position changed from the outside line to the inside line.

A signature late brake stuck Verstappen's exit line, and even because of Qin Miao's blockage and the failure to overtake, Verstappen's mentality was affected to a certain extent, and the time to fuel out of the corner was half a second slower.

So after this defense, Verstappen couldn't pose a threat to Qin Miao in the entire subsequent third time period.

Because after T11 and T12, the time gap between Verstappen and Qin Miao came to 0.9 seconds.

And Qin Miao deliberately kept the release of ERS when he came out of T12, so before passing the DRS detection point behind T12, the time gap between Qin Miao and Verstappen just came to 1 second.

Therefore, in the follow-up DRS big straight, Verstappen directly did not use DRS.

After this lap, in the next first time period, Verstappen regained his pace with Qin Miao and came to a threatening position 0.6 seconds behind Qin Miao.

By the end of the lap, Hamilton had come to Verstappen within a second and started the DRS train.

Now Verstappen is starting to have a big head, because Qin Miao is still constantly selling himself flaws in these few corners, but Verstappen has to be deflated as long as he dares to attack.

At the same time, Hamilton, who came behind Verstappen, also began to be dishonest, frequently putting pressure on Verstappen, and pulling inside and outside.

Although it had little effect like Verstappen's attack on Qin Miao, Hamilton's pressure on Verstappen in the rear relieved Qin Miao's pressure.

What stands out on Qin Miao's side is a person who responds to all changes with the same and hands it over to Red Bull to find a way to change the current situation, instead of thinking so much about himself, just keep his own rhythm of the game.

After all, the game continued, Qin Miao's tires were in a normal state of consumption, and Verstappen needed to consume more tires to follow Qin Miao, on the other hand, he had to guard against Hamilton who was about to move behind him, and at the same time, he had to try to attack Qin Miao, and the consumption rate of tires was very fast.

In short, there is a bit of a chicken-flying dog inside the whole Red Bull now.

And Qin Miao's defensive strategy has not changed, which is to freeze your Verstappen's offense at your home court.

In the end, it was Red Bull's side that was the first to move.

On lap 42, Verstappen, who had been sandwiched between two Mercedes, opted for a pit stop to change tyres.

His pit stop this time was 0.7 seconds behind Qin Miao, and he suddenly turned and pitted when he had been putting pressure on Qin Miao, and there was no warning before Verstappen pitted, and even the technician on the Red Bull side of the team honestly stayed in the P room without any action before Verstappen pitted.

But just as Verstappen was walking towards the pit lane after breaking away from Qin Miao, the technicians moved violently.

Red Bull's side should have been the news delivered to Verstappen through the signs last lap, and in order not to let Mercedes know Red Bull's thoughts in advance, Red Bull's tire changer did not even have any advance preparations before Verstappen made obvious moves.

But Red Bull is a Red Bull after all, even the technicians are top-notch, although Verstappen only started the action after the pit stop, but by the time Verstappen stopped, all the Red Bull technicians were already in their positions.

Qin Miao and Mei Ben were indeed shaken by Red Bull.

The tyre change time of 2.1 seconds is a good enough result even for Red Bull.

Now the problem is in the hands of Meben, because there are still 30 laps left before the end of the race.

According to Mei Ben's tactics, Qin Miao has to change to soft tires after entering the pit, Qin Miao's tire protection ability is indeed terrifying, he can't run the next 29 laps with soft tires, but if you want to run these 29 laps with soft tires, you have to participate in attack and defense at the same time, Rao is Qin Miao's pit stop strategy is also very difficult.

But it is a bit redundant to use the remaining set of new hard tires, even if Qin Miao has been burning tires since he entered and exited, he may not be able to use the wear of the tires to less than 30% before the end of the race.

Before that, the fuel in Qin Miao's fuel tank had to be reduced below the minimum limit required by the FIA, and it would be interesting for the FIA to directly cancel Qin Miao's results at that time.

So in the lap after Qin Miao, the team was quite helpless, and they didn't know how to choose.

However, Qin Miao still took the initiative to say: "I won't pit anymore, and I will pit again when there are 23 laps left according to the original plan." ”

After hearing Qin Miao's words, the convoy didn't ask questions such as are you sure you want to do this, but just replied: "Received." ”
