In any case, the FIA's decision has already been made, and it is based on the rules of F1, so there will be no objection to the penalties imposed by the two drivers.

So tomorrow's main stage, the starting order is:

1: Hamilton

2: Gasly

3: Alonso

4: Norris

5: Sainz

6: Qin Miao

7: Verstappen

8: Tsunoda

9: Ocon

10: Sebastian Vettel

……

On the other hand, when Hamilton knew that Qin Miao and Verstappen had been punished, the corners of his mouth at that time were more difficult to suppress than AK.

If it weren't for the fact that there were other people around him at the time, Hamilton might have laughed right away.

But fortunately, in the end, he held back.

However, after Hamilton got the news, his whole body was obviously relaxed, and his mood was obviously much better.

The kind that walks with the wind, and has a smile on his face when he sees his black powder in the paddock.

After all the pre-match activities are over, the game will begin.

Under the sunset in Qatar, Qin Miao and Barber walked on the brightly lit track together, and then came to the front of their own car.

Putting on his equipment, Qin Miao entered the racing car.

After some adjustments, the staff withdrew.

The warm-up lap starts homeopathically.

In this process, Qin Miao naturally heated up his tires excessively as usual, but it was not as high as when the front row started.

Soon, the warm-up lap was over, and as Hamilton finally came to a halt in his position, the riders behind him were also in position.

It is worth mentioning that before Qin Miao parked his car, he put his car at an angle to the side of the track lane.

Qin Miao also knew that the grip of the dirty side of the track would be insufficient, so if she wanted to start, she would move directly to the driving line and walk on a cleaner track.

However, getting closer to the lane after a normal start will inevitably result in a loss of tire traction during the steering process.

Therefore, Qin Miao set the angle in advance in the preparation stage, so that Qin Miao did not need to waste too much traction on the steering when he started.

With Mazeping once again finally parking his car.

Five red lights come on and go out.

It's game on!

Amid the roar of the F1 engine, Hamilton took the lead and got off to a great start.

After this start, Hamilton quickly opened up the distance between the riders behind him.

Gasly, who started in second place, was a little slow to react, while Alonso behind Hamilton got off to an equally impressive start.

Hamilton and Alonso started almost at the same time.

As a result, Alonso, who was faster after the start, was ready to make a move on Gasly.

It's just that Gasly, who fell behind Hamilton, did not give up the inside line to Alonso.

Although Alonso had an advantage, this advantage was not enough for him to chase him directly from third to second, so after coming to T1, in order to avoid accidents, Alonso still loosened the throttle a little and gave up the position to Gasly.

After the start and past T1, there was no change in the position between the top three drivers.

On the other hand, Qin Miao is here.

Verstappen and Qin Miao's start can be described as extremely bright, and they are on par with Hamilton.

Compared to the two of them, Sainz, who was fifth, started as if he was half a beat slower.

It's just that after the start, Verstappen encountered a somewhat awkward situation.

His starting speed is about the same as Qin Miao's, but both of them have to race Ens fast, and Qin Miao walked directly towards the lane after starting, so Verstappen started and found himself racing Ens fast, and what he saw after Sainz's outside line tap was not a gap, but Qin Miao's ass of the car.

Helplessly, Verstappen could only abandon the middle of the track with a relatively good track environment, take a sip of the wake provided by Qin Miao's racing car, and then go to the outside line.

And in the middle of this process, an orange McLaren slowly appeared on Qin Miao's right side.

Obviously, at the beginning stage, Norris was worse than Enns, and was directly caught up by Qin Miao and Sainz.

Then add Verstappen outside the track, and T1 of the first F1 Grand Prix at Lusail International Circuit showed four cars entering the corner side by side.

In the cornering stage, Sainz, who was at the outermost part of the track, was sure to suffer a big loss.

followed by Qin Miao, and then Norris and Verstappen.

When the four of them came out of the corner, they were still in a side by side, but after the exit began to accelerate, Qin Miao squeezed Sainz out of the corner, and Norris squeezed Qin Miao's exit line.

Qin Miao had no choice but to let Norris surpass him.

After all, the current Qin Miao has no line power.

Unlike the three riders on the left, who tried to attack and defend each other in an extremely dangerous position, Verstappen was not directly involved in the sharp-edged waltz.

He's always on the outside, and after braking, he's just a corner that sticks to the shoulder of the T1 inside line.

Because of the other riders, Verstappen took a route here that wasn't the best way out of the corner.

But it was such a course that Verstappen's loss of speed after exiting the corner was almost non-existent.

Even because he didn't have to worry about the position of the other drivers, Verstappen had plenty of room to accelerate when he came out of the corner.

So when it came time to get to T2, Verstappen was on a different route from other drivers, and he was quick to get out of corners, and he chased directly behind Alonso.

It's just that Verstappen didn't have the right to line at this time, so when Alonon wanted to go to the outside line to prepare to enter the corner, Verstappen had to let himself go outside the track in order not to collide with the other party.

As a result, Verstappen fell behind Alonso.

The point is, Alonso is third!

Verstappen, who had returned to the track, had already round-to-wheel with Norris, who had thrown off Qin Miao.

And when he came to T4, Verstappen overtook Norris who was next to him with him on the outside with a stronger car high-speed cornering performance.

And Qin Miao in the rear had just surpassed Sainz beside him at this moment.

After seeing this scene, Qin Miao could only sigh helplessly: Hold up the bold and starve to death.

If you change Qin Miao over, he really doesn't dare to forcibly grab a corner in such a blocked state.

If you can't dodge it, you will have to retire from the race on the spot if it is serious, and if you have a minor accident, the car may be damaged, the front nose will be broken, and you will need to make a pit stop to replace it.

In this most critical period of the competition for points, any loss is unacceptable.

And Verstappen dared to take the risk and did it.

Therefore, Qin Miao only surpassed Sainz in front of him after he started, but because Verstappen chased from seventh to fourth after starting, Qin Miao's position at this time was still fifth.

However, Qin Miao also saw that Norris's racing speed in this race was indeed much worse than his own Mercedes, so in the next second time period, Qin Miao stuck to the position of 0.5 seconds behind Norris until the last corner of the first lap.

After getting out of the big straight, Qin Miao began to suck Norris's wake and turn on the ERS to accelerate.

Because Norris was attached very tightly when he came out of the corner, Qin Miao was just halfway through the straight and pulled Norris's inside line.

Although Norris knew that he might not be able to guard against Qin Miao, he didn't want to give up his position like this, so after Qin Miao pulled his inside line, Norris took advantage of the situation to draw a dragon on the inside line, wanting to push Qin Miao towards the dirty side of the track.

Trying to use this method to make Qin Miao's tires press on the debris on the track, slowing down Qin Miao's acceleration.

It's just that Qin Miao's wake is still sucking well, and when the white line at the exit of the pit lane is in the area, he has already surpassed Norris by half of the body and got the line right of T1.

And the engine of the Mercedes car was also powerful enough to not let Norris's plan succeed.

After finding that he couldn't hold off Qin Miao's attack, Norris returned to his normal driving line.

So before the first timed segment of the second lap was finished, Qin Miao completed the overtaking of Norris and came to fifth, with Verstappen in front.

Because of that grappling with Norris, the time gap between Qin Miao and Verstappen widened to 1.5 seconds.

However, Qin Miao came behind Verstappen but did not rush to start attacking, but followed Verstappen for two laps and came to the 4th lap.

And after these two laps, Qin Miao clearly felt that his speed should be about the same as Verstappen, and it was even possible that he was slightly faster than Verstappen in this race, because in the past few laps behind Verstappen, Qin Miao had been protecting the tires and had not pushed forward with all his might, but the time gap between them had remained at 1.5 seconds, and there was no change.

It is important to know that with a time gap of 1.5 seconds, the turbulence of the vehicle in front will affect the aerodynamic efficiency of the vehicle behind.

It's just that when Qin Miao's side hadn't figured out what to do next, Alonso in front of him overtook Gasly in front of him after the DRS was turned on.

And the next lap after Gasly was overtaken, Gasly had an accident at the exit of T16, and Gasly "accidentally" rushed off the track.

As a result, it was only natural for Verstappen to use DRS to overtake Gasly in front of him on the big straight.

And Qin Miao was too far away from Verstappen and didn't even enter the DRS area behind Verstappen, so he could only look at this opportunity to rise one position and regret missing it.

Then it didn't take long for Frankie's voice to reach Qin Miao's ears through TR:

"The team leader of Little Red Bull has just given Gasly a team order and they want Gasly to consume as many tires as possible."

"I'm starting to hate Red Bull a little bit!" Qin Miao read a sentence in pieces.

"Who's to say it isn't, well, concentrate on the game, I'm sure you'll be able to take out Gasly soon."

"Roger."

After silently complaining in his heart, Qin Miao began to continue to accelerate.

Gasly's performance in the second half of the season was indeed impressive, and he even suppressed the Red Bull's Sergio Pérez more than once.

But after all, he is only driving a Little Red Bull, and in the design of the aerodynamic kit, it is definitely not as good as the Mercedes.

Naturally, there was no way to open the time gap between him and Qin Miao in the places that were not easy to overtake from T2 to T16, but Qin Miao had been closely following Gasly for 0.4 seconds.

After getting out of T16, when Gasly saw the time gap between himself and Qin Miao after the corner, he didn't even have the desire to defend Qin Miao.

How can this be prevented?

The one-kilometer straight road, coupled with the terrifying engine of Mercedes, and DRS, can't be prevented at all.

And this is indeed the case, after the corner, Qin Miao quickly shortened the time gap between himself and Gasly, and by the time he came to the starting position, Qin Miao had already surpassed Gasly in the whole car.

Qin Miao came to the fourth.

In the same lap, Verstappen also used the same method as Qin Miao to surpass Alonso in front of him.

Alonso, like Gasly behind him, made no defensive moves and watched Verstappen leave.

Verstappen came to second.

At this point, the time gap between Hamilton and Verstappen reached 5.2 seconds.

Now it's up to Verstappen to be effective in closing the gap between him and Hamilton.

On the other hand, Qin Miao also used DRS to overtake Alonso on lap 8, and Qin Miao came to third after another ranking.

This time, he surpassed Qin Miao and didn't even open the ERS, just a DRS surpassed Alonso.

After coming to the third, Qin Miao and Verstappen all recovered their penalties.

It's just that because of Alonso's blocking, Qin Miao at this time also has a time gap of 3 seconds from Verstappen, and the time gap with his teammate Hamilton has come to more than 8 seconds.

"It's beautiful, keep it up." Frankie said after Qin Miao finished overtaking: "We are very fast now, and if this situation continues, it is expected that after five laps we will catch up with Verstappen in front." ”

Qin Miao was stunned for a moment: "5 laps? Am I faster than Verstappen in this race? ”

"Yes, with DRS turned on, you've already had two fastest laps."

After Qin Miao heard this, not only did she not have any joyful emotions, but she was a little painful, because she could brush the fastest lap, which meant that Hamilton in front of her should be protecting the tire at this time.

As soon as Frankie's words fell, on lap 10, Hamilton brushed away Qin Miao's fastest lap.

It should have been Hamilton's track engineer who reminded him that Qin Miao and Verstappen had come behind him.

With the fastest lap in place, the time gap between Hamilton and Verstappen behind him widened to five seconds.

And as the game progressed, the time gap between Hamilton and Verstappen continued to widen.

By lap 13, the time gap between the two of them had reached 6.5 seconds

During this time, Qin Miao shortened the time gap between himself and Verstappen to 1.5 seconds while charging.

A familiar location.

After charging for so long, it's time to put all of that power to Verstappen's.

So on lap 14, as Qin Miao began to release the power in his car, he entered the DRS area behind Verstappen. (End of chapter)
