320:Dawn of Victory (6K, plus 12/14)

Next, Verstappen was more focused on beating Hamilton, at least in second place.

Therefore, when Qin Miao looked at the rearview mirror, he found that the behavior of these two people in the rearview mirror was particularly strange.

And after Qin Miao entered T27, Verstappen found that Hamilton still hadn't overtaken him before the DRS monitoring point, and then he suddenly came to a heavy brake.

Verstappen knew that F1 drivers were quick to react, so Verstappen felt that after suddenly seeing his own heavy brakes, Hamilton would choose to steer and avoid even if he didn't want to overtake him before the DRS checkpoint.

At that time, as long as Hamilton's front of the car overtakes him, then Verstappen will be considered to have fulfilled the team's requirements for himself and let Hamilton go.

As for the time when he took advantage of Hamilton's accident, or scolded his mother in the cockpit of the car, he accelerated again to overtake Hamilton and take back the position, that is his own ability.

And about the controversy after doing this......

Formula 1 is a place where people will only hail the birth of a new world champion, but not pay attention to what the world champion has lacked in this season.

Even if someone keeps it in their heads, as long as the driver can keep winning, no one will talk about it everywhere.

On Hamilton's side, after discovering Verstappen's movements, Hamilton was still the same as before.

Although he was also very anxious after seeing Qin Miao running away, he also knew it.

If you pass through the DRS detection point of T27 faster than Verstappen at this time, then after leaving T27, the position that Verstappen handed back will have to be taken back by Verstappen.

In that way, he will be delayed by Verstappen even more.

So Hamilton, like the previous lap, had no choice but to slow down like Verstappen.

Naturally, Hamilton's side slowed down well, and Verstappen's sudden heavy brake really startled Hamilton.

But Hamilton didn't react as quickly as Verstappen had predicted.

After all, at this time, Hamilton still had a part of his mind on Qin Miao's car in front of him.

Because in this game, Hamilton knew that his speed was faster than Qin Miao, so even if there were not many laps left in the race at this time, Qin Miao was also in the lead, but Hamilton still felt that he could surpass Qin Miao in this game and regain the championship that should have belonged to him.

As a result, Hamilton was a little unresponsive to Verstappen's sudden braking, and when he played left, Hamilton's right nose wing end plate collided with Verstappen's left rear wheel.

Verstappen was also hit by this blow and lost the grip of the rear wheel of the car, but Verstappen was Verstappen after all, and soon a micro-maneuver counterattack stabilized the car that was about to lose control.

Fortunately, the collision was not serious, Hamilton only broke the left front plate, the front wing was still intact, and Verstappen's rear wheel was not cut by splinters due to this collision.

Verstappen felt the vibration of the car, heard the sound of the carbon fibre breaking, and knew he had collided with Hamilton, and Verstappen was in a state of flux.

It's not about worrying about your car getting out of control, it's about the FIA's penalties for you.

But Verstappen thought: crash and crash, no matter what, it can't be worse than it is now, at least Hamilton is now over ......

Thinking of this, Verstappen glanced in his left rearview mirror.

After Hamilton collided with himself, he actually stopped directly on the track, and he had no intention of crossing the DRS inspection point in advance.

Okay, okay, you're playing like this, aren't you?

Verstappen saw that Hamilton was unwilling to overtake him even if he collided with him, so he simply ignored Hamilton and ran out at an accelerated speed.

Seeing this, Hamilton also accelerated to keep up with Verstappen.

In fact, this collision was also unexpected by Hamilton.

So Hamilton's rhythm when he got back to the start wasn't particularly good, and he didn't catch Verstappen's wake when he crossed the DRS monitoring point.

Even by the time Hamilton regained his rhythm, the gap between him and Verstappen had widened to two seconds.

This collision can be regarded as another contradiction between Mercedes and Red Bull that has just been resolved because of the FIA's penalty decision.

After seeing this picture, Toto was so angry that he scolded several words starting with F in a row, and later he may have felt angry and smashed the headphones in his hand on the spot.

A few more laps, and on lap 42, in the same way, in the same position, Verstappen still didn't give up the line of the track.

His way of handing was just slowing down on the normal line and giving the inside line to Hamilton to overtake.

Hamilton also knew at this time that he couldn't continue to entangle with Verstappen, because the time gap between Qin Miao and Verstappen had reached 3.2 seconds at this time.

If he continues to entangle with Verstappen here, Hamilton will not want to touch that title again in this game.

So after noticing Verstappen slowing down, Hamilton finally chose to overtake Verstappen from the outside at a normal pace.

And Hamilton's operation just happened to be in the hands of Verstappen.

By the time Hamilton overtook Red Bull in the entirety, neither had reached the T27's braking point.

Then I saw that after Hamilton got back his position, he took the normal way of entering the corner from the outside.

And Verstappen kicked the iconic inside late brake.

With this late brake, Verstappen had to enter the corner faster than Hamilton and pass the DRS monitoring point later than Hamilton.

Even at the center, Verstappen squeezed Hamilton towards the outside, leaving Hamilton without the best way out of the corner.

I paid it back, but not completely.

So after getting out of T27 and getting to the big straight, Verstappen came to the front of Hamilton again, and even Verstappen turned on the DRS of his car after passing the DRS required start point.

After seeing Verstappen's actions, Zhou Haoran's face was even more incredible: "He can't do this, it's a foul!" ”

"Verstappen can't fight back right after handing over his position!"

Although domestic fans also know that Hamilton and Qin Miao are competing at this time, Hamilton is Qin Miao's teammate after all, so after seeing this scene, domestic audiences still feel more angry for Hamilton.

I think Verstappen is crazy, and he doesn't want to face for the championship.

Then the camera turned, and the broadcast screen of the scene came to the P room of the Meiben team.

The camera freezes on Toto Wolff.

Unlike the hysteria in the shot after the collision between Verstappen and Hamilton just now, Toto Wolf sat in his place with his hands on his chest at this time, and was directly laughed at by Verstappen's operation.

On the field, T3, who had just come to this lap, was punished by the FIA for Verstappen.

Verstappen was penalized for five seconds.

The five-second penalty was Verstappen's penalty for not returning his position to Hamilton after cutting through the corner.

But after seeing the result of this punishment, not only the commentary, but also the fans of Mercedes, Hamilton, and even some neutral fans couldn't stand it.

Compared to the ridiculous things Verstappen just did on the field, one thing to say, this punishment is indeed a bit too light.

At this time, Toto understood that the current FIA was no longer going to hide it, they just didn't want Hamilton to win that unprecedented eighth crown.

They don't want Hamilton to become the all-time No. 1 man in F1, even if the record will be broken sooner or later.

Even Toto felt that Qin Miao would not have such a big opinion when he won this year's drivers' championship.

But compared to Qin Miao, they obviously still hope that Verstappen can win the championship.

However, on the 43rd lap, it was still the T27 corner.

Hamilton used DRS to catch up with Verstappen in front of him and put the brakes inside ahead of T27 to overtake Verstappen.

Verstappen was trying to struggle a little more as he came out of the corner, trying to regain his position from Hamilton's hands.

But Hamilton wasn't ready to giggle with Verstappen, and when he entered the corner, he used his line advantage to squeeze Verstappen off the track.

After the corner, it was finally Verstappen.

Although Verstappen had DRS after the big straight, Verstappen's tires were no longer as good as they had been at the beginning, and after running for so long, Verstappen's medium tyres were not even as grippy as Hamilton's hard tyres.

So although Verstappen had DRS at this time, Verstappen was obviously not as fast as Hamilton in the corner, so in the end Hamilton held his position.

Ironically, this is not Verstappen who took the initiative to concede, but after Verstappen's tyre grip was insufficient, Hamilton relied on his own strong strength to surpass it.

By the time the race reached the second time segment on lap 44, the gap between Hamilton and Verstappen had widened to 1.4 seconds.

By lap 45, the gap between Hamilton and Verstappen had reached two seconds.

The 4.3-second gap between Qin Miao and Hamilton has now been shortened to 3.7 seconds.

Hamilton chased Qin Miao for 0.5 seconds in one lap, and judging from Hamilton's speed at this time, Hamilton's damaged front nose wing end plate did not have any impact on Hamilton's speed, he was still fast.

Next, everyone turned their attention away from Verstappen.

After Hamilton overtook Verstappen, it was obvious that Verstappen could no longer keep up with Hamilton's rhythm, and in the last few laps, Verstappen's medium tyres were indeed unable to hold up.

And even if Verstappen didn't have a tyre problem, didn't he still carry a five-second time penalty on him?

So strictly speaking, this race has nothing to do with Verstappen, and the next thing the audience will mainly watch is whether Hamilton can catch up with Qin Miao, who doesn't seem to be too fast in front of him, in the next five laps.

On lap 46, Hamilton chased after Qin Miao 3 seconds behind.

In the 47th lap, Hamilton entered behind Qin Miao for 2.6 seconds, and at this time, Hamilton was affected by the turbulence discharged from the tail of Qin Miao's car, and the pursuit speed slowed down significantly.

48 laps, 2.3 seconds.

49 laps, 1.8 seconds.

By this time, Hamilton was already ruthless, but there were still two laps left before the end of the race.

Hamilton was confident that he would be able to enter the DRS zone behind Qin Miao before the end of the game, but he knew that he only had one chance to attack Qin Miao, and it was unlikely that this attack would succeed in one fell swoop.

But if he didn't try this one, he would really have to finish second in this race, and then he wanted to win the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix next week, and in addition to letting Qin Miao not finish third, he would have to snatch a championship from Verstappen.

But in that case, everything will be uncontrollable for Hamilton, and if he wants to win the final drivers' championship, it is no longer the strength of the driver, but who has better luck except for Qin Miao, which is not the final result he wants to see.

Therefore, gambling everything, at the last moment, Hamilton didn't want to lose, let alone lose to Qin Miao, a newcomer who had only entered F1 in his first year.

Even more than Qin Miao, Hamilton would rather lose to Verstappen, because at least he lost to Verstappen, and he could also imply to the outside world that this was the result of Red Bull's better racing performance than Mercedes.

But if he loses to Qin Miao, then everyone will feel that this is not the problem of Mercedes Racing, but the problem of Hamilton.

Qin Miao and Hamilton drove past the finish line of lap 50 one after the other, and when they came to the last lap, Hamilton had already come to the position of 0.8 seconds behind Qin Miao, until the braking point of T1, Hamilton shortened the time gap of 0.8 seconds to 0.5 seconds.

But this time gap is still not enough, and Hamilton launched an attack on Qin Miao in this position.

In the next 1st and 2nd time periods, from T13 to T17, Qin Miao, who is in the lead, has an advantage, and there is no corner where you can overtake.

When he arrived at the DRS monitoring point behind T17, the time gap between Qin Miao and Hamilton behind him came to 1.4 seconds.

So after this DRS monitoring point, Hamilton did not get the DRS of Qin Miao's racing.

But the next section is a big straight after all, and therefore, although Hamilton does not have DRS, he still has Qin Miao's wake.

So after running from T19 to T22 in the DRS zone, Hamilton reduced the time gap between the two from 1.4 seconds to 1.1 seconds.

The next three corners did not have any possibility of overtaking, and Qin Miao ran the race normally.

Then from T24 to T27, this is another section of the DRS zone.

At this time, Hamilton still did not have DRS.

But at this time, Hamilton used this big straight to catch up with Qin Miao 0.7 seconds behind.

After passing the DRS inspection point that made Hamilton and Verstappen quarrel on the field, Hamilton finally got the DRS of Qin Miao's car for the first time in this race.

After exiting the corner, Qin Miao was a little faster than Hamilton, and the time gap between Qin Miao and Hamilton came to 0.7 seconds before the DRS opening point after the corner.

But as he entered the DRS zone, Hamilton began to shorten the time gap with Qin Miao at a speed that was visible to the naked eye.

At this time, Qin Miao and Hamilton both saw the checkered flags waving at the edge of the track, as well as the staff of the Mercedes team who poked their heads out of the parapet wall on the side of the track to cheer at the two Mercedes drivers.

But the two drivers who saw this didn't get their attention out of them, and both of them were eager to put their gas pedals directly into the fuel tank of their cars.

Both were making their final sprints at this point.

At this time, some people are going to be confused.

Qin Miao's speed is obviously not much slower than Hamilton's, why can Hamilton force Qin Miao, who has such a big lead, to this point in five laps?

This has to mention Qin Miao's sudden sneak attack when Hamilton and Verstappen were fighting.

At that time, Qin Miao almost squeezed out the power in his racing car battery at one time.

But that wasn't the first time Qin Miao had used that mode in this game, in fact, Qin Miao had used it twice.

The first time was close to Hamilton, and the other time was when Verstappen was exchanging places with Hamilton, Qin Miao drove this mode to overtake the two from the inside.

After doing this, Qin Miao was a little sad to find that his racing engine seemed to have a problem.

Qin Miao was naturally the first to react with the team's engineers.

Even Qin Miao at that time was so anxious that she was sweating.

After a simple inspection and data analysis, the team later found that there was a problem with the battery of Qin Miao's racing car.

At this time, Qin Miao's racing battery can continue to discharge, but MGU-K and MGU-H can't continue to charge the battery.

Therefore, the battery of Qin Miao's racing car is scrapped in disguise.

It stands to reason that the most important thing to do at this time is to retire from the game as soon as possible.

But the position that he finally got was not willing to quit at all, and Frankie didn't want Qin Miao to withdraw hastily.

Therefore, after Qin Miao discovered the fault of the racing car, they began to analyze and detect the failure of the racing car as soon as possible.

The end result was mixed.

It should be that Qin Miao overused the battery of the racing car twice, and the interval between these two times was not long, and the two reasons were cumulative, so it caused problems with the charging line of the racing car.

But the good news is that the internal combustion engine can still be used, and if Qin Miao wants to, he can continue to run on the track, but the difference is that he lacks the power provided by the motor.

Since he would not retire due to engine failure, Qin Miao naturally had no reason to give up this championship.

Keep your eyes back on the field.

Although Hamilton's speed at this time was so fast that Qin Miao and all the people who supported Qin Miao were terrified, the section from the point where DRS started to the finish line was really too short.

If it was a very ordinary and normal lap, then Qin Miao would definitely be overtaken by Hamilton before the braking point of T1.

If, before the DRS detection point of T22, Hamilton eats Qin Miao's wake, then Hamilton also has a high probability of surpassing Qin Miao at this time.

Thankfully, none of this happened, and it was the last lap.

Although when he finally crossed the line, Hamilton had already taken the lead in Qin Miao's inner line.

But Qin Miao still crossed the finish line before him.

After crossing the finish line, Qin Miao was still a little apprehensive, after all, from his point of view, he couldn't see the specific position of Hamilton's car when it was behind him.

All he could see was the fireworks on both sides of the track after crossing the line.

At this moment, Qin Miao had a doubt in her heart, whether these fireworks were blooming for me or for Hamilton.

Soon, almost at the moment of crossing the line, Frankie's somewhat hysterical voice came to Qin Miao's ears through the team TR: "P1! Qin Miao! We are P1! You've done so well in this game, really good! We've got another championship! ”

After hearing Frankie's words, Qin Miao breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that this fireworks are going off for me.

In this game, Qin Miao was scheming, exhausted the mechanism, and even burned a battery, but fortunately, in the end, he did not work in vain, and got a result that made Qin Miao and the team satisfied.

And after breathing a sigh of relief, Qin Miao was slightly stunned, and then the ecstasy spread.

In the last few games, Qin Miao is really walking on thin ice, but if he doesn't run well in one game, then he can't keep his leading position in the standings.

But now, he finally found a suitable opportunity, and after four games, Qin Miao finally won another championship.

At the same time, this also means that in the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix next week, Qin Miao only needs to finish in the top three, then in the 2021 season, which is his first season in F1, he can win the drivers' championship!

However, after being happy for a while, Qin Miao forcibly calmed herself down again, because this season is not over, and everything can happen before the last race is finished.

After all, before the start of this race, no one expected Hamilton and Verstappen to see the red bayonets directly on the track, right?

Moreover, it is also obvious through these races that the FIA side is obviously deliberately suppressing the Mercedes team, they may feel that the Mercedes team has been dominating the paddock for too long, and they are helping Verstappen and Red Bull Racing both openly and secretly.

So in tomorrow's game, Qin Miao not only needs to face his teammate Hamilton, but also needs to face Red Bull and the FIA's deliberate targeting within the scope of the rules.

It can only be said that the revolution has not yet succeeded, and the comrades still have to work hard.
