Soon, the warm-up laps of the sprint race began.

Qin Miao used brand-new soft tires in this game.

Today's track temperature of 40°, combined with the characteristics of the Monza circuit, will be a serious drain on the tyres of the race.

However, Mei Ben has full confidence in the durability of Qin Miao's soft tires.

And Qin Miao is not the only driver who chose soft tires, such as Norris, Alonso, Aokang, these drivers and Qin Miao all chose soft tires to start.

Before the start of this race, almost all the teams told their drivers that the position was not important, just bring the car back safely.

The riders also know that tomorrow's race is obviously more important than today's sprint qualifying.

So most of the drivers had already thought about the race before the start of the race, and the race would be conservative.

You can get no grades, but you can't make mistakes.

Soon, the warm-up laps were over and all the riders were back in their positions.

Five red lights go out and the game begins.

At the beginning of the game, Hamilton did not start very well, and was directly overtaken by Verstappen behind him.

Qin Miao's starting speed is also faster than Hamilton's, and even Qin Miao's starting speed is faster than Verstappen's.

But because of the initial stage, Hamilton was in front of Qin Miao.

In order to avoid Hamilton Qin Miao, who made a starting mistake in front of him, most of the grip of the racing tires after starting was used on steering avoidance.

Therefore, when Qin Miao, who was originally a little faster than Verstappen, came to Monza's T1 heavy braking area, he only came to Hamilton in front of him, and he could not pose any threat to Verstappen in front of him.

After coming out of the corner, Qin Miao came to second and Verstappen first.

After getting out of T2, Qin Miao had time to take a look at his rearview mirror.

To Qin Miao's surprise, it was not Hamilton that appeared in his rearview mirror, but a McLaren.

The starting error caused Hamilton no small amount of trouble.

With no rhythm at all, Hamilton dropped to sixth with a straight start, which was in front of the two Ferraris.

It was also thanks to Gasly, who had been performing well in the previous games, that the right front wing collided slightly with Ricciardo's right rear wheel as he entered T1.

As a result, the front nose cone of the car fell off and he rushed off the track to retire, and Hamilton moved up a position, otherwise Hamilton's starting mistake would have caused him more damage.

On Gasly's side, the left side of the nose cone connecting to the front nose was completely broken.

The entire left wing of the nose was directly on the ground and began to rub wildly against the ground.

The key is that because of the height of the cockpit of the F1 car, the driver cannot see the state of his nose in front of the car.

So with the front wing dragging on the ground, Gasly still drove his car to accelerate, driving forward for more than 500 meters.

It wasn't until the speed of the car reached 270 km/h that the front nose wing of the Gasly car finally could not withstand the increasing friction on the ground and completely detached from the front nose wing of the car.

As a result, the entire nose wing of the Gasly car was swept into the chassis of the Gasly car, which directly bounced the little Red Bull.

At this point, it was T3, a long right turn, and the Gasly car took off directly because it lost traction on the ground, so the car plunged headlong into the buffer zone.

But because Gasly was too fast, he could control the body's stance by swinging the steering wheel in the buffer zone.

However, due to the high speed and the lack of grip in the buffer zone, Gasly swinging the steering wheel can only change the attitude of the body, but cannot pull the car back from the loss of control.

So in order to reduce the loss, Gasly hurriedly returned to his steering wheel posture.

In the end, Gasly's car was hit by the front left suspension against the parapet.

Fortunately, after Gasly's adjustments, the impact was not serious, but the scrapping of the left suspension was doomed.

Therefore, Gasly's retirement after this impact has become a sure thing.

A yellow flag appeared on the track, which was then transformed into a safety car.

In addition to Gasly's accident, Kubika and Yuki Tsunoda, who were at the end of the team, also collided.

Yuki Tsunoda gave Kubica a standard American-style interception.

Thankfully, there were no problems with either driver's car, and Kubica struggled out of the gravel despite being stuck in the gravel.

After that, the safety car took a total of three laps.

After three laps of the safety car, the overhead lights went off to signal that the race was continuing.

Although this race is a bit chicken for the drivers, in Verstappen's opinion, it is a point to be able to chase Qin Miao one more point, so Verstappen also tried his best to press the car in the initial stage.

Soon, as the safety car departed, Verstappen pressed the car for a while and then started to take off violently.

Qin Miao naturally kept up with Verstappen's rhythm for the first time, and it can be said that Qin Miao is still quite competitive in the field of starting.

After all, he was young, and compared to those older drivers, Qin Miao's reaction speed was naturally much faster.

However, although Verstappen was only pulled out of the body position after the start, due to the nature of the Monza circuit, the rear wing angle of all the team cars is very small.

As a result, the effect of the wake effect provided by the front car to the driver behind is limited, in short, even if there is a wake from the car in front to eat, the proximity between the driver and the driver is still low in the state of the big straight.

At the same time, the DRS efficiency of the Monza circuit is also very low, after all, the rear wing angle of the car itself is very small, and even if the DRS is turned on, the drag can be reduced.

So although Qin Miao was not pulled away by Verstappen after the start, and Qin Miao followed Verstappen after the corner, but all the way to Monza's T1, Qin Miao did not complete the overtaking of Verstappen.

Not even the outside line was tapped, just stuck to half a distance behind Verstappen before entering the braking point.

After all, for everyone, this race is just a sprint qualifying race.

So in the follow-up of the game, Qin Miao did not attack Verstappen.

And although Ricciardo behind Qin Miao wanted to go to the next level, in the face of Mercedes's car, McLaren Racing could only sigh.

When the race came to the 5th lap, Qin Miao threw off Ricardo behind him for 2.5 seconds.

Everyone has a clear priority, and that is to bring the car back safely.

If this race, like Gasly, who has already retired, crashed and retired from the race instead of getting the position, it will be more than worth the loss.

This is an unacceptable loss for both the driver and the team.

After all, even if Gasly's car was repaired after the crash, the parts that were reinstalled on the car could not have been installed in the same way as his previous car parts.

Because it was different before, the feedback that the car brought to the driver at high speed was also different.

Fake delay, Gasly's car tuning after the crash is considered useless.

Tomorrow, even if Gasly still has excellent performances in the last few races, he will not be able to play his due strength due to the disorder of car tuning.

And in addition to that, Little Red Bull also has to pay a repair fee for this.

Despite being named Red Bull, the budget of the Little Red Bull Racing Team is not comparable to that of the Big Red Bull, and life is also tight.

So after the race, everyone didn't fight too hard with the other drivers.

Even if you are overtaking, you are overtaking when conditions allow.

Everyone wants to bring their cars back to the garage in peace.

The race is almost over here, and at least the first few drivers won't change much if they don't fight to the death.

Eventually, the sprint qualifying session at Monza ended.

Verstappen started second and took home the championship with three points.

Qin Miao was second, with two points.

Ricardo was third, earning a point.

The next rankings are:

4: Norris

5: Hamilton

6: Leclerc

7: Sainz

8: Giovinaz

9: Pérez

10: Stroll

Ps. went for a tooth extraction, sorry there are only so many today.
