265: Verstappen steals Qin Miao (6K, plus 10/16)

On the track, everyone watched in amazement as everything that happened on the track.

No one expected the two drivers to collide in this place.

"Qin Miao! Qin Miao and Verstappen collided on the track! After seeing this scene, Fei Ge immediately felt a heart-wrenching feeling.

"The track is full of debris! Qin Miao's right front tire also seems to have a problem, is it a puncture? Brother Bing also nervously stared at the picture broadcast in his broadcast studio: "Qin Miao's car rushed into the gravel field, is it okay?" Can it come out? ”

"This collision is so undeserved, why did Verstappen just hit it?" Zhou Haoran directly began to pull the bias frame.

……

Because of Verstappen's late brake, when he entered T12, Verstappen's car was in front and Qin Miao's car was behind.

So in this collision, Verstappen's left rear wheel smashed through Qin Miao's racing side box, scraped off part of the edge of Qin Miao's racing car bottom plate edge, and at the same time, Qin Miao's racing car side box also broke a big hole.

These injuries will definitely cause a loss of speed to Qin Miao, but the loss will not be particularly large, and Qin Miao's car is still competitive.

At the same time, because of the collision with Verstappen, the carbon fiber fragments that popped out of the side of the Verstappen car scratched the right front wheel of Qin Miao's car, and the right front wheel of Qin Miao's car burst on the spot.

But compared to the losses suffered by Verstappen in this collision, Qin Miao was the least damaged of the two.

In this collision, Verstappen suffered the same damage as he did at the Hungaroring missile base, and the end plate of Verstappen's car was knocked off.

The last time Verstappen was knocked off the right front end plate, this time Verstappen was hit with the left front end plate, and the whole structure disappeared directly, only a few carbon fiber ballast still hanging on the car.

The good news was that neither car was fast going through the corner, so neither man had lost control.

Although Qin Miao's car was too close to the center of the T12 and collided with Verstappen, Qin Miao's car was knocked into the sandy buffer zone on the left side of the T12.

When Qin Miao, who had a flat tire, ran there, many Qin Miao's fans were worried that Qin Miao's car would be stuck in the sand and gravel and couldn't get out.

But slow speed does not mean that there is no speed, Qin Miao still relied on the inertia of his own racing car and his perverted control of the vehicle to bring the car out of the sand and gravel.

Verstappen and Qin Miao were both at the touch of a touch, and they quickly opened up the distance between the two cars.

In the end, the collision ended with Qin Miao exploding a right front wheel, damage to the bottom plate, and a palm-sized hole in the right side box, and neither of them had a loss of control on the track.

What made Qin Miao feel fortunate was that although his right front wheel was punctured in this collision, the suspension was not damaged, and he did not fall into the gravel.

And this collision caused a lot of carbon fiber fragments to appear on the track, some of which were Qin Miao's, but most of them fell from Verstappen's car.

In order to prevent other drivers from getting a puncture when they hit carbon fiber chips while passing through this corner, the race quickly converted the yellow flag from the second time segment into a safety car.

In this way, it was convenient for Qin Miao to enter the pit stop to change tires.

And because Gasly behind him was more than a minute away from Qin Miao and Verstappen at this time, Qin Miao even had more than 40 seconds to use to urgently repair the burrs on the floor of Qin Miao's car and the holes in the car after Qin Miao pitted.

Because the location where the two collided was the entrance to the pit area after a corner, plus the help of the safety car, the loss to Qin Miao from this puncture was very small.

However, Hamilton on the other side was more unlucky, because when Qin Miao and Verstappen collided, he just got out of T14 and began to accelerate on the big straight.

By the time the yellow flag was deployed and it was possible to convert it into a safety car, the track engineers on the team's side had no time to notify Hamilton of the pit stop.

Because Hamilton happened to be passing by the pit entrance.

Even if Hamilton crossed the white line directly at this time, it would be too late to force a pit stop again.

After this collision, Qin Miao naturally fell behind Verstappen because of the relationship that he wanted to come out of the sand and gravel ground.

Under the prompting of the safety car, Qin Miao slowly brought his car back to the pit area, because Zandford's T13 and T14 are two long curves with angles, and Qin Miao's main thing on the way back is a spark with lightning all the way.

The outer rim was in close contact with the surface of the track, and it made a splash.

After passing T14, Qin Miao drove the broken car into the pit lane.

Before that, Verstappen also went into the pit lane once.

With 10 laps to go, Verstappen didn't have a brand new soft tyre to work with, but he still had a set of soft tyres that had only run one qualifying flight lap.

Although this is not entirely new, it is still possible to run 10 laps in the race.

When will you not change the tires at this time?

And Qin Miao pit stop to change into a set of soft tires used in qualifying, but Qin Miao spent a lot more time changing tires than Verstappen.

After Qin Miao parked here, in addition to changing the tires, the team's technician violently tore off a piece of debris connected by carbon fiber silk thread on Qin Miao's side box, and then directly sealed the hole in Qin Miao's car with strong glue.

At the same time, the damaged position on Qin Miao's bottom plate was also sealed with a strong glue by the team technician.

The main thing is to reduce the negative impact of uneven gaps in the carbon fiber fracture on the overall aerodynamic effect of the car.

The whole process lasted about 20 seconds, and Qin Miao completed a simple car repair at the door of the team's P room.

Although it took so long, when Qin Miao returned to the track again, his position still hadn't changed, and he was still behind Verstappen and in front of Gasly.

The gap they had to run out of during the previous period was so big that even if they wasted 20 seconds in the pit lane to repair the car, it would not affect their position after they came out.

Even because there was a safety car on the track at this time, Qin Miao caught up with Verstappen and Hamilton in front of him again at the place where Verstappen collided.

Although Hamilton was not involved in the collision between Qin Miao and Verstappen, the person who lost the most from the collision between the two was actually Hamilton.

Leaving aside the time advantage he had managed to get out of front of him, Hamilton was discouraged by missing the pit stop window just after the safety car was deployed.

The most important thing was that if he had made a pit stop after a lap under the safety car, he would have fallen between two Ferrari drivers, Leclerc and Sainz.

But he couldn't do without pitting, because as the safety car continued to drive, the drivers who were then overtaken by them would return to the back of the lineup.

When the time comes, everyone will use new tires, and it is self-evident how miserable the scene will be when Hamilton uses the old tires alone.

Now in the game, the director has also released the car screen of Qin Miao and Verstappen when they collided just now, and what they said in the team TR when they collided.

"! You're blind! Can you drive, this can hit me? Qin Miao's side directly rushed out of Chinese.

"What the ***? Qin Miao blocked my line!" Verstappen began to talk about the rules.

Although it was Verstappen himself who took the initiative to hit Qin Miao, Verstappen felt that he had the right to the line, and you Qin Miao had to honestly give up the position for me!

In Qin Miao's point of view, he was driving normally, and then Verstappen forcibly came over and hit himself.

Although many people are complaining about Qin Miao, domestic fans are even louder and angry at Verstappen's dangerous driving.

But in terms of rules, Verstappen does have to enter T12 earlier than Qin Miao, he has the right to the line, and Qin Miao needs to give way to Verstappen when entering the corner.

So when the director played back the slow-motion replay of the two people who had just crashed, the game club pulled a prompt in the center of the broadcast screen, and the game club began to intervene to investigate the collision between the two just now.

"Ok, Qin Miao, according to what we just observed, Verstappen's car was more damaged than we thought, and the balance and speed of his car will be severely hit." Frankie's voice sounded as Qin Miao followed Verstappen and waited for the match to restart: "So our suggestion is to start pushing directly after the game starts, do your best to overtake Verstappen in front of you, and try to open the gap between you in a short time." ”

Mei Ben also knew that although Verstappen took the initiative to collide with him, Verstappen's operation was unethical, but it was indeed within the allowable range of the rules.

Therefore, according to the consistent urine nature of the competition, the final result after starting the investigation is most likely to be when Qin Miao is punished.

A minimum of 5 seconds and a maximum of 10 seconds.

If it is 5 seconds, Qin Miao still has a chance to compete for the final championship, but if he is punished for 10 seconds, Qin Miao may not even be able to keep the second.

On the other hand, Red Bull also began to tell Verstappen:

"Max, I know the next game will be difficult, but we need you to defend Qin Miao as much as possible, even if you are surpassed by Qin Miao, you must follow him as much as possible within five seconds, Horner is already doing his best to appeal to the FIA to put pressure, a minimum of 5 seconds of time and a maximum of 10 seconds.

But if you want to win this race, it's safe to be within 5 seconds of being behind him. ”

"Roger." Verstappen responded, glancing in his rearview mirror at the Mercedes behind him.

Under the influence of the adrenal glands, Verstappen was very dissatisfied and even a little angry.

Do you know how to drive?!

[Verstappen pressure value: 45%]

At this time, Hamilton had already made a pit stop to change his tyres, but what made Hamilton and his crew ecstatic.

Almost all the drivers chose to pit for tyres after discovering that the safety car had been deployed, so Hamilton was not caught between the two Ferrari drivers, and he only saw Gasly in front of him when he came out of the pits, still using his old tyres.

Gasly didn't opt for a pit stop.

Although Gasly has the option to go into the pit lane to change tyres, he will only finish fourth if he goes in and comes out, but if he doesn't go into the pit lane to change tyres and continues to stick on the track, then he could have a podium.

You know, the podium is a huge attraction that cannot be denied to all drivers who drive the Earth or the Center of the Earth.

So Gasly, after communicating with the team, finally chose to stay on the track and try to try to bring back third.

However, Hamilton did not have any nervousness about Gasly who appeared in front of him.

The little Toro Rosso team is ridiculous.

At this time, Hamilton didn't even think carefully about how he should surpass Gasly in front of him, and he had already begun to think about how he would surpass Qin Miao and Verstappen in front of him after surpassing Gasly.

Even because he knew that Qin Miao and Verstappen had car damage at this time, Hamilton still had a premonition that he could return to the first place.

At the end of lap 64, the race committee gave a penalty announcement, Qin Miao caused a collision because he did not give up his position on the track, but considering that Verstappen himself took the initiative to hit it, the race club finally gave Qin Miao a five-second penalty.

There was no penalty for Qin Miao to pass through the maintenance area or anything like that.

It's not heavy, but it's not light.

You Horner went to the FIA to put pressure on me, and I also had Toto to help explain, so it's not incomprehensible that the final penalty was only a five-second penalty.

But at this time, there are only 8 laps left before the end of the race, and whether Qin Miao can surpass Verstappen in front of him in these 8 laps, and pull away Verstappen and Hamilton by more than 5 seconds is a big problem.

And Verstappen's task at this time is also very simple, just like Qin Miao defended him, to limit Qin Miao behind him as much as possible, the longer the better.

On the same lap, the debris on the track was almost cleaned by Matthew, and the safety car's roof lights were turned off and the race was about to restart.

Verstappen and Qin Miao began to frantically draw dragon grinding tires and heating up the tires as soon as possible.

And Qin Miao suddenly gave Verstappen an outside tap from time to time at this time, although he quickly shrank back again, but Qin Miao could clearly see that Verstappen's pressure value had risen a little.

That's how I got to T14.

At this time, Verstappen still had no intention of accelerating, still compressing the positions of the other drivers behind him, and drawing a dragon from time to time to ensure the temperature of his track tires.

And Qin Miao didn't dare to continue to learn from Verstappen to keep the temperature of the tires, because the next step was a dynamic start, and Qin Miao needed to keep an eye on Verstappen's racing movements.

After all, in F2, when this happens, Qin Miao likes to press the car, and when the rear driver draws the dragon to warm up the tires, he accelerates violently and catches the driver behind off guard.

Under his own control, Qin Miao naturally didn't dare to be too careless in this link.

And if you want to surpass each other in a short period of time and quickly open up the gap, you can't let go of the slightest detail.

Finally, about 200 meters after leaving the T14 and entering the departure car, Verstappen made a routine move.

But after the end of this painting, it suddenly began to accelerate.

Qin Miao, who had been paying attention to Verstappen's movements, naturally kept up with Verstappen's rhythm for the first time.

And Gasly in the rear is not slow to react, but because of the gap in car performance, even if Gasly reacts in time, after starting, it is obvious that the gap between himself and Qin Miao is constantly being widened.

Hamilton's start in the rear can only be said to be decent, but Hamilton relied on the advantage of car performance, seized Gasly's inside line on the starting straight, and slowly approached Gasly, ready to attack Gasly directly on the inside of the big straight, ready to overtake Gasly in one fell swoop.

However, it is not so easy to overtake at the beginning stage, plus this is still a dynamic start, even if Hamilton has an engine advantage, he has to eat the turbulence discharged from the side of Qin Miao's car in front of him after tapping, and Qin Miao also has a wake for Gasly to eat.

But Hamilton is also worthy of the seven-time champion, despite a bunch of disadvantages, but when entering T1, he still took advantage of the advantage of the inside line to brake late, and the center of T1 held his own line, not giving Gasly the best cornering line, all the way to T2 Hamilton completed the overtaking of Gasly.

However, just one grappling, Qin Miao and Verstappen pulled Hamilton away for more than 1 second.

At this time, everyone is sparing no effort to release their ERS power, and Hamilton will naturally be pulled away quickly when he goes to the bucket car at this time.

However, Hamilton was not in a hurry, and there was still a long way to go before the end of the game, so Hamilton followed them all the time, waiting for them to make mistakes.

After the start, Qin Miao's speed was obviously not as fast as Verstappen's, but Qin Miao knew that Verstappen's car was very damaged.

So now the balance of Verstappen's car will not be too good, Qin Miao needs to do it very simply.

Just like a hunter, ready to strike a fatal blow at your prey.

Zandvoort is a track with many corners, and Qin Miao only needs to use his car's faster cornering speed than Verstappen in the corners to eat Verstappen raw in the corners.

The second time segment of lap 64 was again the familiar corner of T12.

Qin Miao had already stuck to the back of Verstappen's car before T11, and it wasn't until T12 that he officially launched an attack.

Qin Miao's attack was very unpretentious, even a little rough.

It was T11 who entered T12 after taking a cross line on the outside line, and when Verstappen stood on the inside line of T12, Qin Miao came first, and directly relied on the car's more powerful mechanical grip from the outside line to forcibly overtake Verstappen from the outside line.

Verstappen originally wanted to rely on his line power to squeeze Qin Miao again when Qin Miao came out of the corner, but he thought that Qin Miao was also iron-headed.

Unlike other drivers, Verstappen often backed down when he handed the choice to other drivers to choose whether to load or not.

After all, finishing the race is more important, and car damage is not something that ordinary teams are willing to bear.

But Qin Miao is different, whether it is through the profile of Qin Miao's personality, or Qin Miao's performance in the game just now.

Verstappen knew that as long as this choice was handed to Qin Miao, Qin Miao would definitely not hesitate to choose the option that was directly opposite to him.

So when he came out of the corner, Verstappen didn't squeeze Qin Miao too hard, and still left him a certain amount of space to get out of the corner.

But it was also because of Verstappen's hesitation that Qin Miao, who had a faster speed out of the corner, overtook Verstappen on the outside after the corner and returned to the first position.

β€œNice! Qin Miao overtook beautifully this time! Seeing that Qin Miao had finally completed his transcendence of Verstappen, Fei Ge and the others all applauded.

After the two corners of T12 and T14, Qin Miao began to quickly open the time gap between him and Verstappen.

After passing the end of the third timed period, there were seven laps left before the end of the race.

And Qin Miao wants to grab a 5-second advantage in these 7 laps.

Naturally, Qin Miao, who was burdened with a five-second penalty, began to advance rapidly regardless of tire loss.

When lap 65 passed the end of the third time period, Qin Miao once again refreshed his fastest lap.

In the third time period of lap 66, the time gap between Qin Miao and Verstappen behind him came to 1.5 seconds.

It can be said that Qin Miao is really running away with her life now.

At the same time, Hamilton behind Verstappen began to move.

Because of the damage to Verstappen's car, Gasly behind him was faster than Verstappen.

It's just that because of Hamilton's blocking, Gasly couldn't accelerate for a while.

On lap 67, because of Hamilton's containment behind him, the gap between Qin Miao and Verstappen widened to 4.8 seconds.

The reason why Qin Miao ran so far was because Verstappen's car was damaged, and the speed was not fast, coupled with Hamilton's attack behind him, every time Verstappen had to take the defensive line, the speed was naturally slower.

It is worth mentioning that despite the car damage, Verstappen actually withstood Hamilton's wave of attacks amid the cheers of the crowd at his home stadium.

And it is worth mentioning that Verstappen defends Hamilton's offense with Qin Miao's defensive routine of defending Verstappen.

deliberately sold a flaw to Hamilton, Hamilton had never seen Verstappen use this kind of defensive routine, coupled with the damage to Verstappen's car, Hamilton subconsciously felt that this was an uncontrollable mistake after Verstappen's car had problems.

As a result, Hamilton was fooled by Verstappen several times.

And Verstappen didn't have the slightest psychological burden on Hamilton with his trademark defensive moves.

Unlike Qin Miao, who is the head iron, Hamilton is not Qin Miao's kind of guy who has no honor.

Verstappen compresses Hamilton's exit line and Hamilton will honestly slow down.

The saying that the barefoot are not afraid to wear shoes does not apply to Hamilton.

Verstappen knew Hamilton too well.

However, Verstappen's approach only works when DRS is not turned on in the tournament.

Because with the opening of DRS, Verstappen's stalemate with Hamilton was immediately reversed. (End of chapter)
