But no matter what, the race still has to run.

So when the other drivers were all parked on their grids, Arrow took off the warm-up blanket from Kimi's car and let Kimi out.

Soon, with the rear medical vehicle in place and the green flag waving, the race of the Brazilian Grand Prix was about to begin.

Five red lights come on and go out.

At the moment when the five red lights went out, Qin Miao started smoothly without any accidents.

And this start can only be said to be decent for Qin Miao.

It's not fast, but it's not slow, after the red light goes out, Qin Miao starts to accelerate after 0.2 seconds, which is the average level of Qin Miao's daily training.

What can be different from Qin Miao's regularity is that Verstappen on the other side started a little faster than Qin Miao.

And in addition to the starting advantage, Verstappen also has the advantage of tire temperature, the advantage of the inside line.

So after the start, you can see that Verstappen, who was originally behind Qin Miao, is quickly and firmly narrowing the gap between himself and Qin Miao after the start.

Seeing this, Qin Miao also knew that Verstappen's starting speed was a bit fast, and he might not be able to prevent it.

But after all, the place in the race is about your position in the standings and the team's overall points.

Therefore, although Qin Miao saw Verstappen's speed, he was already prepared in his heart.

But in the T1 corner, Qin Miao braked late and tried to squeeze Verstappen off the track.

It's just that at this time, Verstappen was in a wheel-to-wheel state with Qin Miao in the center of the bend due to various advantages, so he had no reason to give up his line rights.

Seeing Qin Miao squeezing towards him, Verstappen didn't panic at all, and didn't let him go at all.

Then there was a slight collision between the outer walls of the tires of the two.

It's just that the impact was not serious, it could even be said to be minor, and neither of them had any parts dropped off the car.

This is mainly because Qin Miao found out that Verstappen didn't let him go back to the right direction a little.

Compared with Verstappen, Qin Miao, who is leading in the overall standings, has become the one who wears shoes.

It's no longer like at the beginning of the season, and you dare to say at every turn: "Lao Tzu exploded with you!" "And then what stands out is a recklessness.

But because of this, Qin Miao completely lost the opportunity to start from pole position.

When entering the center of the T2 bend, Verstappen directly surpassed Qin Miao's body by half of the body.

At this time, facing the car squeezed by Verstappen, Qin Miao could only helplessly drive the car to the safety zone outside the track.

After all, Verstappen was in front of him at this time, and the track line was his, so he would be responsible for any collision with Verstappen.

The good news is that Qin Miao's position did not drop significantly when she returned to the track, and she only fell to second.

After that, all the way out of T3.

It is worth mentioning that after getting out of T3, Pérez seized on Qin Miao's shortcomings that he returned to the track after T2 rushed out of the track and accelerated slower than normal driving, and sucked Qin Miao's wake on this straight between T3 and T4.

At this time, it is not difficult to guess what Perez's idea is, it is nothing more than wanting to take advantage of your illness to kill you.

After taking a breath of wake on the big straight at the start, the inside line tap overtook Qin Miao and rose one position.

And old drivers are old drivers, and I have to say that Pérez took this opportunity very well.

It's a pity that the person he needs to surpass is Qin Miao, and Alonso has to praise his defensive ability against the sky.

After Pérez caught up, Qin Miao changed lanes to defend inside as soon as possible.

Then brake late 10 meters after the braking point.

Just when Pérez saw Qin Miao's braking point and felt that Qin Miao would definitely rush off the track......

Qin Miao stopped.

Not only did he brake, but he also entered the corner faster than Pérez, and he exited the corner faster, so he relied on a late brake to lightly defuse Pérez's attack.

Even Qin Miao hadn't been pulled too far away by Verstappen in front of him because of defending Pérez.

This is completely a reflection of the driver's personal strength, Qin Miao's foot brake on the inside line has the charm of last week's Verstappen's start stage.

Everything is so extreme.

And looking at Qin Miao, who regained his position and quickly stabilized his car into the rhythm of the race, Pérez was already very calm in his heart.

It's not even strange about it.

At the beginning of this season, looking at Qin Miao's performance on the field, Perez would still have a feeling of looking at a monster, feeling that he was not old.

But now, all that is left in Pérez's heart is peace, and people can't, at least they shouldn't compare anything with these monsters.

After defending Pérez's attack, Qin Miao followed Verstappen for two laps, and these two laps made Qin Miao deeply aware that his speed was about the same as Verstappen's in this race.

As a result, it was difficult to overtake Verstappen on the track after losing his position in this race.

Although he was a little reluctant to accept it, Qin Miao had to admit it.

Now if you want to surpass Verstappen, you can only wait until the late stage of the race, after Verstappen's tire grip drops, Qin Miao can use her stronger tire grip than Verstappen to try to attack Verstappen.

As a result, it didn't take long after the start to stabilize the time gap between the top three riders, and all three went into cruising mode.

Qin Miao had no intention of attacking Verstappen in the front, and Pérez in the rear was gradually pulled away by Qin Miao and Verstappen.

At this time, after the director found that there was no gunpowder between them, he decisively gave the camera to Hamilton.

Compared with Qin Miao and Verstappen, Hamilton's performance in this game is what the audience is looking forward to.

Hamilton didn't let the audience's expectations go to waste.

With just one start, Hamilton went from 10th to 8th.

One was Hamilton's Ocon, who took advantage of the racing engine to overtake him in T1 after the start, and the other was Norris, who had a bright start, but he collided with Sainz after the start, and the left rear wheel collided with Sainz's left front wheel and punctured the tire, falling to the back of the team.

And on the first lap of T8, Hamilton relied on the car's stronger mechanical grip on the outside line to force a strong overtake of Gasly in front of him on the outside line.

Crossing the line on the first lap to T1 on the second lap, Hamilton relied on the terrifying tail speed of the new internal combustion engine and used the trail speed to overtake Vettel at the end of the big straight.

At this time, DRS is not even turned on.

After surpassing Sebastian Vettel, Hamilton moved up to sixth.

A lap more than a short straight and Hamilton overtook four cars!

Four cars!

Should I say it deserves to be Hamilton?

Before the start of the match, everyone knew that this match was Hamilton's pursuit show, and sooner or later he would chase from tenth to Qin Miao and Verstappen.

However, as expected, Hamilton should be like a sprint race, with a maximum of one car in a lap.

No one could have imagined before the start of the race that Hamilton would overtake four cars in one lap.

Maybe that's the gold content of the Seven Crowns.

After overtaking Sebastian Vettel, Hamilton was ahead of the Ferrari duo.

Ferrari's Sainz didn't cause Hamilton any problems either, and after the T11 on lap 2, Hamilton began to chase Sainz quickly.

Heading into the full-throttle section, Hamilton used his terrifying pace to quickly get close to Sainz in front of him.

At the end of lap two, at the start of lap three, Hamilton comfortably passed Sainz in front of him without DRS.

The commentators were also full of praise for Hamilton's driving on these laps.

When the race came to the third lap and the situation on the field was a little clearer, the live director began to replay what had happened on the field in the early stages.

It is mainly the start of Qin Miao and Hamilton, and there is also a replay of Norris and Sainz colliding.

The three commentators on the side of Five Star Sports have not been sorry for Qin Miao's mistake in today's race for long, and as soon as the camera turned, the game had come to the fifth lap at this time, and the three commentators of Five Star Sports were a little stunned to see that Hamilton had unconsciously overtaken another Ferrari in front of him, and there was Perez in front of him.

Five laps, and in just five laps, Hamilton made it seven places to chase forward.

Qin Miao, who was running in front, inadvertently glanced at the rearview mirror, and when he wanted to determine the position of himself and Perez, he saw Hamilton behind him from a distance.

At that time, a big question mark popped up in Qin Miao's mind.

Did the other riders in the back have a collective engine explosion? It's only been five laps, so how did Hamilton get to that B place?

However, at this time, Hamilton's pressure on Qin Miao is not particularly great, although Qin Miao has been hanging in the position of 2 seconds behind Verstappen, but he and Verstappen have already thrown off Perez by 3 seconds in five laps, and Perez has thrown off Leclerc behind him by 3 seconds.

So Hamilton's momentum for a sharp overtake needs to slow down and he has to run a long distance before he can continue to attack.

However, Qin Miao and Verstappen didn't continue to distance themselves from Hamilton before the safety car came out.

Although it was a little annoying to see the safety car, the time gap that I had managed to open was gone.

But neither Qin Miao nor Verstappen was surprised by this.

Because of the T1 position on the track, fragments of Tsunoda's car were left on the track, and Tsunoda's entire nose wing was hung on the T2 centerpiece.

And there are also quite a few carbon fiber fragments on the outside of the corners of the T1.

If a rider overtakes the outside line of T1 at this time, it is easy to overwhelm the debris.

The debris was left there for more than two laps, and it was a little too late to get out of the safety car at this time.

On the second lap of these fragments, Qin Miao began to wonder when the FIA's work efficiency was so slow.

The safety car was carried from lap 7 to lap 10.

Because the safety car was three laps long, almost all teams had two more laps of fuel in their cars, and their tyres wore at least two and a half laps less than a normal race.

So after this safety car, Frankie told Qin Miao as soon as possible that the team simulator department updated his pit stop time, which would be one lap later than the normal pit stop, and the benefit was that Qin Miao didn't need to worry about the wear and tear of the tires before entering the pit stop.

Even if Qin Miao knew after answering, Qin Miao began to follow Verstappen's rhythm.

After getting the team's prompt, Qin Miao felt that in the next period of time, he could try to put pressure on Verstappen.

At this point, the safety car had been withdrawn, just waiting for Verstappen to start.

Qin Miao believes that the Red Bull Racing side will definitely give Pérez an order to suppress Hamilton's rhythm a little after he starts.

So although Hamilton quickly came behind him with the safety car, Qin Miao didn't pay much attention to Hamilton at the initial stage.

On the one hand, it was because he knew that there was Perez behind him to block Hamilton for him, and on the other hand, for Qin Miao, it was more important not to be pulled away too much by Verstappen after the start.

So at the beginning stage, it was obvious that during the period when Verstappen was heating up his tires, Qin Miao was sticking to the back of Verstappen's car, without too much movement, staring at Verstappen in front of him, paying attention to his every move.

And Perez opened up a distance of more than a car from Qin Miao, and he was also drawing a dragon.

Verstappen pressed the car to the limit, at its slowest speed of only 30 km/h, and he pressed all the way to the last grid before he suddenly began to accelerate.

Verstappen's press was a bit of a surprise, but it wasn't incomprehensible, given both yesterday's sprint qualifying and Hamilton's performance after the start today.

This is a clear indication of the terrifying tail speed of Mercedes on this track.

A later start at this stage and a shorter straight to accelerate Mercedes can all be used to Verstappen's strengths.

Eventually, Verstappen was about to reach the final grid and started to accelerate sharply.

Thanks to Verstappen's extreme press, Hamilton didn't get too far behind from the start and began to get faster than Pérez in front of him in the later stages, but before he reached the braking point in T1, Hamilton couldn't get the first leg of Pérez's car.

Although it was a pity that he did not get up to the top in the start, Hamilton was already satisfied after the start.

At least this time the safety car has greatly shortened the time gap between himself and Pérez.

And after the start, Pérez began to accelerate.

He also knows that with his own ability, he can defend Hamilton, but he definitely can't defend it.

So he began to accelerate, preparing to suck Qin Miao's wake and eat Qin Miao's DRS at the same time.

It's kind of exchanging tire life for speed.

The only effect of this approach is to make it much more difficult for Hamilton to overtake him, and to increase the wear of Hamilton's tires behind him.

There is no doubt that it was Red Bull Racing that gave Pérez the team instructions.

It's just that Qin Miao didn't plan to give Perez a wake at all.

However, not long after the race resumed, Mick collided with Kimi again on lap 12.

Mick's nose was damaged, and his nose was hanging in front of the car before finally coming off the track after running the entire second time segment.

Mick's nose just stayed on the track.

For the second time, the competition did not use a physical safety car, but a virtual safety car.

This time the safety car was brought to lap 15.
