After passing T27, Qin Miao came to the position 0.9 seconds behind Hamilton after coming out of the corner, and just got Hamilton's DRS when he passed the DRS detection point.

It's just that the price is heavier, when the T24 comes out, the power of Qin Miao's racing battery is 91%, and after T27, the power of Qin Miao's racing car is only 29%.

Two false corners, one turning back and running down, Qin Miao directly burned 62% of his battery, and the distance was less than 1.3 kilometers in total.

At the same time, Qin Miao knew that once he used this mode, the battery life would be reduced by at least three hours.

Don't look at three hours is not a long time, but you should know that the overall service life of the power unit components of F1 is basically about 200 hours.

Three hours is not a short time.

Converted to this, it is equivalent to a person who can live to be 70 years old.

However, in exchange for the effect, Qin Miao was more satisfied.

After coming out of the corner, Qin Miao also took advantage of the situation to open the DRS and began to get close to Hamilton and Verstappen.

However, because Hamilton in front of Qin Miao also had Verstappen's DRS at this time, Qin Miao's proximity to Hamilton at this time was not high.

Verstappen saw that Hamilton had DRS before T27 and knew that in the next big straight, Hamilton also ate his own DRS and sucked his wake by the way.

So after the big straight on the grid, Verstappen kept running on the dirty side.

On the one hand, because of the tire rubber and dust on the ground, the speed of the rear car is not so fast.

On the other hand, it is to stand on the inside line in advance, so that Hamilton can catch up with him and then want to overtake, if he wants to take the outside line.

After crossing the white line at the finish line, it was on lap 37 that Hamilton also took advantage of the outside line.

And Qin Miao, because of his position and speed, has been following Hamilton behind him after the corner, slowly shortening the time gap between himself and Hamilton.

After Hamilton took the lead on the outside line, Qin Miao also followed Hamilton's rhythm to the outside line of the track.

Although both Hamilton and Verstappen can eat wake behind them, after all, the track on Hamilton's side is much cleaner, and if he chooses this side, Qin Miao's acceleration ability is faster than Verstappen's.

Hamilton took the lead and used his car's speed advantage to sit side by side with Verstappen at the braking point in T1.

At this time, Qin Miao was still 0.5 seconds away from the two drivers in front of him, and almost a body distance from Hamilton in front of Qin Miao.

It's a delicate distance that doesn't pose much of a threat to the positions of the two people in front of them.

But if the two of them fought too fiercely this time, or even rushed out of the track directly because of the struggle, Qin Miao would have a chance this time.

Then Qin Miao saw Verstappen's signature late brake on the inside line.

Verstappen braked late into the corner, allowing his car to enter the corner earlier than Hamilton's.

Naturally, Verstappen had the right to the line.

Then Verstappen stepped on the brakes a little too late and even lost the grip of his own car on the rear wheel.

So Verstappen drifted and squeezed Hamilton out of the track.

Qin Miao took a look: Good opportunity! Dude has been following Hamilton for so long, this is the moment he has been waiting for!

When Hamilton and Verstappen rushed out of the track and cut the corner, Qin Miao took a normal line.

After Hamilton was squeezed out by Verstappen, he was going to go straight back to the track and start again.

After all, with so many years of experience in the ring, Verstappen's way of entering the corner will definitely be punished.

Even if the FIA tournament officers have clearly tended to help Red Bull secretly and in some rules in the last few games, but this is set in the rules of the FIA, and they have to punish even if they don't want to.

But after seeing Qin Miao behind him, Hamilton knew that if he returned to the track at this time, he would definitely be overtaken by Qin Miao behind him with a better angle and speed into the corner.

So after a very short period of thought, Hamilton gave up on the idea of getting back on the track, and instead made the appearance that it was too late to turn back on the track, and finally had to reluctantly cut back to the track from the inside of the buffer zone to Verstappen's rhythm.

As a result, Hamilton's attack did not translate into positional advantage.

And this opportunity in front of Qin Miao also disappeared, because after all, he didn't have any interference, and he couldn't cut the outside of that corner like Hamilton Verstappen, and then cross the shoulder and return to the track.

And the most direct consequence of cutting through T2 is that Qin Miao ran at least 50 meters more low-speed track than the two of them.

Even because of this, after Qin Miao came out of T2, he who had already caught up in the DRS area behind Hamilton was instead reopened by Hamilton to 1.3 seconds.

"the chicken, they cut the bend!" Seeing this, Qin Miao was naturally dissatisfied, and shouted in the team TR: "Isn't this a punishment?" There is no heavenly reason! ”

Hamilton's side also said: "Verstappen squeezed me off the track!" He's really crazy. ”

Verstappen, on the other hand, remained silent.

[Although Verstappen is a ruthless track machine, the ruthless track machine is only an adjective after all, Verstappen is also a human being, and he will also have major mistakes.

Right?

Besides, Verstappen was in front of Hamilton when he entered the corner, and he had the right to the line! 】

This can be regarded as Red Bull's excuse in the face of the FIA's questioning and Meiben's anger.

Of course, that's what to say, but Red Bull is also a little apprehensive, and they can only do their best for Verstappen to get the FIA to punish Verstappen's overtaking lightly.

But stance aside, from a purely bystander's point of view, Verstappen's defense did get a little dirty this time.

Soon, after Hamilton's attack failed, he was also 1.5 seconds behind Verstappen.

Now Mercedes is a two-pronged force, keeping Hamilton chasing after Verstappen and putting pressure on Red Bull on the FIA side.

And it is the same lap, that is, the big straight between T24 and T27 of 37 laps.

The FIA gave Verstappen the penalty for sprinting off the track in the T1 corner, and the FIA demanded that Verstappen return his position to Hamilton.

But the news was not conveyed directly to Verstappen by the FIA through the Team TR, but by the FIA to Red Bull Racing, who in turn communicated it to Verstappen through the Team TR.

And in the process, Red Bull Racing has a little bit of a problem with the way it communicates.

What Verstappen's track engineer said to Verstappen was: "Strategically hand back the position to Hamilton. ”

It's a blatant way of telling Verstappen that it's okay to give the position back, and you really have to give it back to Hamilton according to the rules.

But when he was still in the position, he was a little careful and gave Hamilton a little cover.

Verstappen knew what the team was thinking, so he deliberately slowed down after passing the T25, but didn't give Hamilton the lane.

According to the rules of the FIA, when returning position, you need to give way to the car behind you, just like a slow car gives way to a fast car.

But Verstappen didn't do that, he just drove on the lane normally and slowed down his car.

Hamilton then noticed that Verstappen's speed had dropped and he didn't rush to overtake him, but instead began to slow down.

Because the entry position of the T27 in front of it is the DRS monitoring point of the next departure straight.

What Verstappen was up to, Hamilton knew very well.

It was nothing more than wanting to return the position to Hamilton before the DRS monitoring point, and Hamilton wanted to overtake Verstappen after the DRS monitoring point.

And the friction between the two just now made both of them a little upset, and they both subconsciously ignored the other person.

Just when both of them slowed down, Qin Miao, who was out of T23, began to rely on the wake of Hamilton's car to gradually shorten the time gap between himself and Hamilton from 1.3 seconds to 1.1 seconds.

Then Qin Miao suddenly saw that the two cars in front of him suddenly began to slow down.

And at this time, Qin Miao's position is actually very particular.

He was behind Hamilton's left, while Verstappen was in Hamilton's right front.

Most of Hamilton's attention was on Verstappen, and although Verstappen was staring in the rearview mirror all the time, he was the only car in the rearview mirror.

Therefore, because of the sudden change in the DRS monitoring point, the two of them briefly ignored the existence of Qin Miao behind them.

Although it only took half a second for Verstappen to realize that there was a Qin Miao behind Hamilton after slowing down, his sudden slowdown was completely reaching out and handing his wallet to Qin Miao.

So Verstappen found out that Hamilton didn't overtake him and immediately began to accelerate.

Hamilton also realized in the next moment that there was a Qin Miao behind him.

But Qin Miao ran too honestly in this game, not only to Hamilton, but also to Verstappen with a sense of déjà vu that Qin Miao's competitiveness in this game was not as strong as the two of them.

So much so that after the two of them were a little entangled, they subconsciously ignored Qin Miao's existence.

Then after they reacted, they found out with some despair that because of that foot of the brake, Qin Miao directly overtook the two of them from the inside line of the two of them at a gallop.

And drove all the way to the braking point of the T27.

When Qin Miao came to the brake point position of T27, Verstappen really regretted it.

Fuck, am I a fool?! Why did you forget about this product!

And Hamilton was also extremely angry in his heart, Qin Miao was the dead sixth! Why did you ignore Qin Miao's existence just now?! It shouldn't be!

Ahhhh......h

And Qin Miao's overtaking this time can only be described as a thick accumulation.

Without forbearance before the start of the game, and the behavior of frantically reducing his sense of existence from the beginning of the game to just now, Qin Miao couldn't wait for such a good opportunity now.

Of course, thanks to Hamilton and Verstappen.

They really gave Qin Miao a chance.

They are all good people, Qin Miao thought silently in his heart after he came out of T27.

After seeing Qin Miao's movements, the atmosphere on Mei Ben's side was a little strange, more than half of the people were cheering for Qin Miao's overtaking, and the other half was terrifyingly quiet.

And Toto also smiled and applauded Qin Miao's successful sneak attack this time at this time.

Although Toto also hopes that Hamilton will achieve his eight-time feat at Mercedes, if Qin Miao wins the F1 Drivers' Championship in the first season of his career, Toto will not refuse.

After all, this shows that you have a good vision.

And the atmosphere is weirdly different from Meiben.

The three commentators on Five Star Sport's side were still talking about Verstappen's battle with Hamilton, and when the FIA would return Verstappen's position to Hamilton.

After all, in their eyes, Verstappen's defense did violate the rules.

Now I suddenly saw Qin Miao overtaking Verstappen and Hamilton when they were handing over positions.

Suddenly, the three commentators on the side of Five Star Sports felt that their whole person was transparent.

It's like taking a hot shower in the snowy winter, and entering the air-conditioned room at the hottest time in the summer, with a freshly opened popsicle in your hand.

"Qin Miao! More than gone! He caught Verstappen waiting for a full match when he was returning to Hamilton! He overtook the two riders in front of him in one go! Brother Bing stood up at this time.

"We just said that it is actually very difficult for Qin Miao to overtake in this race, and if she wants to get back to second place, she will either wait for the Verstappen medium tyres to start failing, or you can only wait for the top two drivers to make mistakes." Fei Ge said, "Looking at it now, Qin Miao's thoughts are the same as ours, and he has also done all the things we thought about for him before the game started. ”

"I have to sigh, Qin Miao, a young man who is only 20 years old, can stabilize his mentality at this time, and he has been following Hamilton for so long without any impatience, this is simply incredible, this overtaking will definitely become one of the most eye-catching overtaking highlights of the 21st season!" When Zhou Haoran said these words at this time, his words were also full of excitement and excitement.

"Although we said before the start of the race that Qin Miao in this race could win the championship of this race, we all felt that this possibility was not too high at the time, after all, Qin Miao's opponent was a talented driver of the same level as Qin Miao, Verstappen, and the other was Hamilton, a seven-time champion who was still active in the field." Brother Bing said again: "But in the face of such an opponent, Qin Miao can still maintain his rhythm steadily, and launch the most critical blow at the most critical moment!" ”

"So now, we can finally look forward to the final result of Qin Miao's race openly, I believe that with Qin Miao's defensive ability and the difficult overtaking characteristics of the Jeddah track, Qin Miao is likely to win another sub-race championship after Turkey!"

"That's right, and if Qin Miao wins the sub-race championship of this race, then in the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix a week later, Qin Miao only needs to finish in the top three places to win the 2021 Drivers' Championship!" It is not difficult to judge from the words blurted out by Zhou Haoran that he has been helping Qin Miao calculate his points in the drivers' standings this season a long time ago.

And what kind of position you get, and how many points you need to score in the next race to win the Drivers' Championship.

And it is true, if Qin Miao in this game converts this position into a champion, then Qin Miao's point lead over Hamilton in the standings will change from 6 points to 13 points.

At that time, even if Hamilton wins the championship, Qin Miao only needs to finish third to beat the seven-time champion to win the first drivers' championship of his career.

And in terms of Qin Miao's strength and achievements.

As long as there are no accidents and Qin Miao runs the race normally on the track, Qin Miao is guaranteed to finish the race in third place, and if he is lucky, he can get a second place or something.

It is worth mentioning that among the staff members who specially collect the data of drivers from other teams and make evaluations of Qin Miao, the most striking thing is not Qin Miao's defensive ability, nor his starting, overtaking, tire protection, or long-distance ability.

It's Qin Miao's stability on the field and his diligence, after all, in the entire paddock, no one has spent more time on the simulator of the team factory than Qin Miao this season.

Therefore, Qin Miao's kind of driver is what the R&D department of all teams hopes to meet, because their existence can really bring strong confidence to the staff of the R&D department.

After all, once you developed a new component yourself, you were immediately able to find a driver to help test it.

If you can get feedback at the first time, the R&D progress will naturally be faster.

Back to the point.

It is precisely because of these qualities of Qin Miao that the championship of this race can be said to determine the ownership of the drivers' championship this season.

Therefore, it is understandable that the three commentators are a little too excited at this time.

Frankie also praised Qin Miao fiercely after Qin Miao seized the opportunity to overtake the two: "Well done, it's too beautiful." ”

Although Frankie's praise for Qin Miao was a little plain, on the side of the team, Frankie almost stood on his chair and cheered while jumping.

He also knew the importance of the ranking at this time to Qin Miao.

However, as a track engineer, Frankie also knew that he was not an atmosphere group that only knew how to blindly praise Qin Miao, so he still reminded Qin Miao: "Verstappen still has your DRS, try to keep his current position." ”

Frankie was right, Verstappen did have the DRS of Qin Miao's racing car at this time.

After all, before Qin Miao crossed the line of the DRS monitoring point, Verstappen reacted that he ignored Qin Miao behind him and began to accelerate his car.

But because of that slowdown, after Qin Miao and Hamilton Verstappen came to the starting straight together, the time gap between Qin Miao and Verstappen behind was still quite large, a full 1.2 seconds.

In the next game, although Verstappen pursued Qin Miao with all his might, and the ERS power was released as much as possible, the time gap between the two was still a little too big, and Verstappen couldn't catch up with Qin Miao even with the blessing of DRS and ERS.

Before the braking point of T1, he could only catch up to 0.3 seconds behind Qin Miao.

Under this time gap, Qin Miao didn't even take the inside line to defend Verstappen, but took the normal corner line after braking late.

At this time, Verstappen had no chance to attack Qin Miao, but he still tried to put pressure on Qin Miao on the inside, although Verstappen also knew Qin Miao's terrifying defensive ability, and this pressure could not affect Qin Miao at all.

But as the saying goes, hitting a child on a rainy day is also idle.

It's just that Verstappen has overlooked a problem, and now he doesn't seem to have returned the position that belonged to Hamilton to Hamilton.

And Qin Miao originally thought that after he surpassed Hamilton and Verstappen, these two should put down the mustard, exchange positions and start chasing after him.

It's just that Qin Miao obviously underestimated the hostility of Hamilton and Verstappen.

Because when Qin Miao came to the T23 corner on lap 38, he found that Hamilton had obtained Verstappen's DRS again.

The original car was suspended due to Qin Miao's sudden appearance, so Verstappen still wanted to return the position that originally belonged to Hamilton to Hamilton this lap.

After all, if he didn't return his position, Verstappen would have a 5-second penalty on his back.

However, the strategy of the Red Bull side when they exchanged positions did not change because of Qin Miao's sudden distraction.

So I saw that it was the DRS monitoring point before T27 again, and Verstappen still didn't give up the lane after coming here, but simply began to slow down.

It can be seen that Verstappen still wants Hamilton to eat the DRS monitoring point before he does.

Although Qin Miao was right in front of the two of them, and after doing so, Qin Miao would definitely run farther.

But Verstappen did it anyway.

And Hamilton seems to be on top, and he doesn't want to eat that DRS monitoring point first, if you slow down, then I will slow down too.

Then Qin Miao was a little confused to find that when he arrived at the braking point of T27, he routinely glanced at the rearview mirror and was about to observe the specific position of the two people behind, and saw that they were still on the outside of the bend of T26 at this time.

Qin Miao's mind was full of question marks at this time.

How? They're not running away?

In fact, Verstappen's idea at this time was very simple.

He was now bottom of the three championship contenders, and he was on medium tyres.

Verstappen is not Qin Miao, although his tire protection ability is also the top group of people, but after being pushed by Hamilton for so long, Verstappen also knows that his tires are a little overconsumed.

In this race, he was sure to run all the way to the end with this set of medium tyres, but he couldn't guarantee the speed in the later stages.

Coupled with Qin Miao's ability to protect the tire and his set of hard tires, Verstappen really couldn't raise any desire to do anything to Qin Miao for a while.

Because he knew that even if he really had this idea, he wouldn't be able to catch up with Qin Miao.

At least for the remaining 11 laps, Verstappen didn't think he could find a chance to catch up with Qin Miao.
