297: Orange Torpedo (5K, not 6K does not count as a change)

After all, his teammate Norris was finally sent to the back of the team, and Ricciardo didn't want to miss such an opportunity.

Since the beginning of this season, Ricciardo has really been beaten by his teammate Norris in all directions, which makes Ricciardo, who was invited by McLaren to be the No. 1 driver, more or less hanging.

When encountering such a thing, Ricardo was also anxious, so he could not miss the opportunity to show himself like this in front of him.

If you don't steam steamed buns to fight for breath, at least you can't let your data be too ugly at the end of the season.

But as the saying goes: whoever drowns knows how to water.

Such a fast speed, not a clean track, plus the impact of the dirty side.

The most immediate consequence was that Ricciardo locked his right front wheel when he braked.

The white smoke produced by the tires rubbing against the track rises instantly.

The lock-up of the right front wheel had disastrous consequences for Ricciardo, who was already at his limit.

His car went straight out of control and missed the brake point.

Pérez, who is playing at home, knows that he can get off to a successful start rather than finish and finish is more important to his hometown folks.

So in the initial stage, he really just saw six ways and listened to all directions.

I can't wait to open a third-person perspective to see all the information in the arena and avoid all accidents as much as possible.

When Ricciardo was alongside Pérez on the inside, Pérez had already focused most of his attention on Ricardo.

As a result, as soon as the front right wheel of Ricardo braked on the white smoke, Pérez turned to the left to avoid the danger that might come.

But don't say it, he really dodged it.

Pérez completed the danger avoidance with his eyes and ears in all directions, but Qin Miao in front of him did not have such a good opportunity.

At that time, Qin Miao didn't notice his back at all, because Qin Miao's outside were Hamilton and Verstappen, and they both had to enter the corner faster than Qin Miao, so Qin Miao was not ready to compete with these two people for the right to the corner.

Therefore, Qin Miao's braking point was relatively early.

Then Qin Miao was a little surprised to see that Verstappen braked at the limit on the outside, and directly surpassed himself and Hamilton on the outside.

Verstappen relied on the brakes that were later than Qin Miao and Hamilton, and directly overtook the two Mercedes from the outside.

Don't look at this as just a sentence, but Verstappen's difficulty in braking late this time is almost like driving an excavator without piercing the film inside the egg shell, peeling off the entire egg shell.

With an excavator!

Because the extreme braking was too difficult this time, the effect was extremely outstanding, and it looked like Qin Miao and Hamilton slowed down one after another to let Verstappen pass.

It was also because of Verstappen's operation against the sky that most of Qin Miao's attention was so much that he didn't notice the orange torpedo that suddenly came from behind him.

After Verstappen entered the corner, Hamilton also began to enter the corner, while Qin Miao was stopped on the outside line because of the position of the track, and he could only cut the shoulder from the inside line into the corner.

And just when Qin Miao's right front wheel pressed on the shoulder of the inner line of the track, he suddenly felt that his car was shocked.

And then there's the familiar "kala" sound of carbon fiber breaking.

It was the starting stage, and all the cars were at their limit at this stage, after all, no one wanted to lose their position at the start.

Therefore, when Qin Miao entered the corner, he directly pushed his car to the limit, and even a slight disturbance of the steering wheel of the car in this state could cause the car to lose control, not to mention that there was a car directly behind him.

Therefore, this collision directly broke the balance of Qin Miao's racing car in the limit state, and the grip of the rear wheel of the car was lost on the spot, and the car spun out of control on the spot.

The only good news is that T1 at the Rodriguez circuit is a slow corner, so neither Qin Miao nor Ricardo behind him are too fast.

Qin Miao's car was just turned 180 degrees on the spot, and the front of the car was aimed in the direction of the pit lane.

And the initiator of all this, Ricciardo, did not lose control of the car, but the collision knocked his front nose wing off.

Although because of Verstappen's god-level brakes, the three commentators of Five Star Sports have focused most of their attention on Verstappen.

But after all, Qin Miao has a special status for domestic fans, so the three commentators still have a certain amount of energy to focus on Qin Miao's car.

And the first time Qin Miao's car collided with Ricardo, Brother Bing exclaimed: "Qin Miao! It's over, he's been hit by a McLaren! ”

"Oops! Qin Miao's car seems to be parked on the track! Fei Ge vaguely saw a Mei Ben being pushed around in the middle of the traffic, and then stopped on the track with his back to the direction of the track.

The hearts of the three commentators who saw this scene were half cold.

"Ricardo! It was Ricardo who hit Qin Miao by braking mistake! Although Zhou Haoran also paid attention to the brakes of Hamilton and Verstappen, and did not pay much attention to the drivers behind Qin Miao, the iconic orange was still captured by his afterglow, and he also remembered that the only driver in the front row was Ricciardo, a McLaren.

"Oh my God! Qin Miao's car stopped directly on the track! ”

"What are you doing, Ricardo!"

"Qin Miao has no problem racing, right? Can you still move? ”

After the surprise and consternation, the three commentators, like all the viewers who were watching the live broadcast of the game at this time, felt their hearts pound.

After discovering that Qin Miao's car was not seriously damaged, and the other drivers drove past Qin Miao's side, Qin Miao moved again.

Seeing the commentary of this scene, the audience breathed a sigh of relief, and then began to regret it.

You must know that the overtaking difficulty of the Rodriguez Brothers track is not too difficult, and Qin Miao did not get up too impressively in this race, although he did not get up too impressive at the beginning, and even Verstappen's late brake directly went to two positions.

But in the eyes of the three commentators of Five Star Sports and the fans who support Qin Miao, Qin Miao has the ability to transform the impossible into possibility.

Therefore, before Qin Miao crashed, they were all full of confidence and felt that Qin Miao still had the possibility of winning the championship in this game.

But if you want Qin Miao to give full play to his strength, you have to give him a suitable environment.

But Ricardo's torpedo shattered everyone's hopes.

This can be regarded as Ricardo helping Qin Miao change the engine again for free.

As we said earlier, the most serious accident for a driver is not a car accident, but a mistake at the beginning that does not return to the track in a short period of time, such as spinning.

After all, if there is a car accident in which the car is completely unable to move, it is nothing more than leaving the race early for the driver.

Even because the car was completely broken, I didn't have much thought about the race, and I could leave work directly after attending the final post-race interview.

However, the mistakes in the initial stage are different.

At this moment, the driver has to experience a wave of dismay, remorse, and then watch his rival's car pass by on either side of him, and all the hard work of qualifying is in vain.

If you're lucky, you won't lose too much position this time, but Qin Miao is facing forward this time, and the whole car is parked on the track.

Qin Miao, who was in this state, could only watch the drivers behind him in the qualifying stage pass by on both sides of him one by one.

Before they completely overtook Qin Miao, Qin Miao couldn't move at all, because if Qin Miao restarted the car at this time and was about to turn around and return to the track, it would inevitably block the other drivers.

In this way, it is easy to have a second accident.

So at this time, Qin Miao could only sit in the car scolding, waiting for the other drivers to pass by him, and then put his foot on the floor oil, drew a circle on the spot, and then returned to his normal driving line.

"I'm *you* a**, what just happened, who hit me? I'm okay with my car, right? ”

After Qin Miao returned to the track, he had already fallen to the last place.

At this time, without the pressure given by other drivers behind him, Qin Miao can naturally drive full horsepower to output in the team TR.

"Wait a minute, let's take a look at the replay...... Frankie's voice sounded as soon as Qin Miao's complaint ended: "But I just looked at the various test data of the car, there is no problem with the car, the engine and gearbox are running well, you don't need to worry for the time being, if there is any abnormality in the stability of the car, we will notify you as soon as possible." ”

Qin Miao didn't answer, and now Qin Miao was angry and helpless.

At this time, he really wanted to scold his mother.

However, after a while, after seeing that Qin Miao didn't answer, Toto also began to worry that the young man couldn't control his emotions and did something irrational on the track.

Having worked with Qin Miao for almost a year, Toto has figured out the character of this talented Chinese driver.

After losing the position, Qin Miao will definitely want to go all out to regain his position, and in this case, Qin Miao will definitely take a more serious attitude than the last US Grand Prix to overtake the driver in front of him.

And when attacking, maintaining a more aggressive mentality, running a race is prone to track accidents.

There is an old Chinese saying that if you want to hurry, you can't reach it.

The more anxious you are, the more likely you are to not be able to do something.

In terms of Qin Miao's state at this time, the most likely thing that will appear is that there is an opportunity in front of Qin Miao, but this opportunity is not too good.

Qin Miao in a normal state will definitely choose to try, but if the opponent's defense is tough, Qin Miao will choose to slow down a little and wait for the next better opportunity to come and surpass in one fell swoop.

And at this time, Qin Miao in this state is very likely to just do nothing.

Even if you can't surpass it, you have to overtake it.

The consequence is likely to be to miss the braking point and rush out of the track, or collide with the driver defending Qin Miao.

In short, it's basically hard to please.

So Toto opened his mouth to dissuade: "Qin Miao, the matter has come to this, no matter how you vent your emotions, it's useless.

Calm down, keep playing, and try to minimize your points loss, and we all believe that with your ability, you can definitely minimize the damage caused by this accident. ”

After hearing Toto's words, Qin Miao pursed her lips.

Toto's words were light, but he fell directly to the back of the team and started, no matter how much he chased, running to the fourth was considered to be burning high incense.

Although the broken thoughts in his heart did not stop, after Toto said a word to Qin Miao, Qin Miao still collected his emotions, forcibly calmed himself down, and began to keep up with the rhythm of the rider in front of him.

However, at this time, there is still good news for Qin Miao, who has fallen into a trough.

That is, at this time, in addition to Qin Miao and Ricardo, there was also a track accident between the three drivers of Ocon, Mick Schumacher, and Tsunoda.

In fact, the main reason for this track accident is that there is an extra Meiben parked in the middle of the track on the track, so the position of the follow-up drivers is not enough when they cross the track.

And these three drivers uniformly chose to exit the corner on the other side of Qin Miao's car.

With all three of them crammed together, the track position is naturally insufficient.

Because of this, Mick Schumacher and Yuki Tsunoda sandwiched O'Con's sandwich.

But Ocon, who was used as a sandwich in this accident, was nothing serious.

After finding himself caught in a sandwich and the track in front of him wasn't wide enough to enter the corner, Ocon slammed on the brakes.

Then Ocon's left front wheel hit Mick Schumacher's right rear wheel, and Mick Schumacher took off on the spot.

After gliding some distance in the air, Mick Schumacher fell heavily to the ground.

Compared with Mercedes, Haas is certainly incomparable in terms of the strength of the racing body.

So after Mick Schumacher hit the ground, the left rear suspension of the car broke on the spot.

Although Mick Schumacher's car was still running some distance after landing, Mick Schumacher's retirement was inevitable after the suspension of the right rear wheel broke.

Not even a moment of sadness over Mick Schumacher's retirement, it was Yuki Tsunoda who immediately arrived behind Ocon's left front wheel.

With the same maneuver, the same formula, Yuki Tsunoda's right rear wheel collided with O'Con's left front wheel from behind.

Both tires are forward, so naturally the one behind them takes off.

Just like Mick Schumacher, Yuki Tsunoda also took off.

Ocon double kills.

Yuki Tsunoda flew up and landed on the ground, and several carbon fiber parts of the rear diffuser also collapsed, and the right rear wheel also blew out because it was directly pressed on the crashing parts after landing.

Although he did not break the suspension of his right rear wheel like Mick Schumacher, the chassis of Tsunoda Yuyi's car was a little too badly damaged, and it seemed that it had also hit the gearbox, so the team asked Tsunoda Yuyi to turn off the engine of the car, and he had no choice but to retire.

After the car accident between the drivers behind him, coupled with the collision between Ricardo and Qin Miao, Ricardo's front nose wing was also left on the track.

That's pretty much all the chaos for this start.

There are many innocent drivers affected by this accident, but there is no doubt that the most loss-making and wronged driver is Qin Miao.

However, because of this accident, the two cars collapsed on the track, and it didn't take long for the race to convert the yellow flag into a safety car.

So although he fell to the bottom of the team, Qin Miao still caught up with Stroll in front of him when he was just over halfway through the first lap.

However, at this time, the team contacted Qin Miao through the team TR.

"Qin Miao, BOX, let's change to hard tires and run a particularly long long-distance stint, we believe in you." Frankie said.

There is nothing wrong with the team's choice at this time.

After all, Qin Miao has fallen to the back at this time, and at this time, if he runs the race on neutral tires, Qin Miao's advantage is only the advantage in racing performance.

At most, just like in the previous game, after surpassing the car of the Earth Group in front of him, Qin Miao will become struggling.

Instead of this, it is better to broaden your thinking, look for tire pain points, and seek differentiated play.

Directly let Qin Miao pit for hard tires.

And at this time, there was a safety car on the track, and Qin Miao basically didn't lose any time when he entered the pit stop this time.

After Qin Miao was hit, he also knew that if he continued, he might repeat the process of the previous game, and finally finish fifth.

Now that the team has more ideas, Qin Miao naturally chooses to listen to the team's opinions.

"Roger, but I still want to know what just happened."

This is the first time that Qin Miao has been emotionally stable since she was hit, and she said a word in the team TR.

"Okay...... Just now Ricciardo's tyre locked, the car lost control and slid forward for a while before his nose collided with your right rear wheel, so our car went out of control. After explaining, Frankie hurriedly added: "But don't worry, this collision didn't cause any damage to the car, and our race is not over yet." ”

"Okay, but I still want to say that Ricardo is such an idiot."

Frankie: "Agreed. ”

After finishing speaking, Qin Miao also drove his car into the maintenance area.

At the same time, Ricardo, who collided with Qin Miao, also chose to make a pit stop.

Because when he collided with Qin Miao, the front nose wing was completely knocked off, and he needed to make a pit stop to replace the front nose wing.

And McLaren's choice, like Mercedes, also chose to give Ricciardo a new set of hard tyres.

Therefore, although Qin Miao still pitted behind Ricardo, after Qin Miao came out of the pit lane, he was still in front of Ricardo.

After all, in addition to changing tires, Ricardo also needs to replace the front nose wing, which is a bit delayed.

"Qin Miao is making a pit stop and changing into hard tires." After seeing Qin Miao enter the station, Fei Ge said unexpectedly.

"Mei Ben should want Qin Miao to run a long stint and recover some positions as much as possible." Brother Bing analysis.

"In fact, strictly speaking, it will be less difficult for Qin Miao to chase the driver in front of him in this race than in the last US Grand Prix." Zhou Haoran added: "After all, Mexico's Rodriguez Brothers circuit has three DRS sections and a long straight, so in terms of the performance of the Mercedes car, Qin Miao will be particularly easy to overtake at the end of the straight as long as he catches the DRS and wake of the driver in front of him when he exits the corner." ”
