After the T6 and T7 corners, Pérez was thrown away by Hamilton at a speed that was visible to the naked eye.

Before the braking point of T9, Pérez slowed down and gave up his position to Verstappen, allowing Verstappen to chase Hamilton in front.

By the time Verstappen came behind Hamilton again, there was only 1.3 seconds left between Hamilton and Verstappen, and it was fair to say that the two drivers were back on the same line again.

On the same lap, Pérez, whose tires were already running out of gas, chose to make a pit stop for a tire change, and his task in this game was not limited to this, in addition to helping Verstappen defend Hamilton, he also had to go back to try to block Qin Miao's pursuit rhythm.

Although it is no longer meaningful to block Qin Miao at this time, you have to try, what if there is really a miracle, Qin Miao has an accident when defending Pérez?

The good news is that Qin Miao has not yet made a pit stop at this time, so if Pérez pits early at this time, he will have plenty of time to fully charge the battery of his car and wait for a chance for Qin Miao to fall behind him after pitting.

Qin Miao, on the other hand, continued to hold on to the track, at this time he was still 6 seconds away from Verstappen in front of him, and this time gap was constantly widening at a rate of 0.3 seconds per lap.

But Qin Miao was not in a hurry at all, because he was faster than Alonso Gasly behind him.

And his main goal in this game is not to win the championship, but to keep the top three.

Therefore, Qin Miao's side is ready to run his own rhythm normally, as long as he ensures that his overall speed is faster than Perez, then Qin Miao will not encounter any big threat in this game.

On the other hand, Verstappen on the field gradually lost the time advantage that Pérez had earned him.

Hamilton was moving 0.4 seconds per lap as he gradually shook off Verstappen behind him.

There is no way, the gap in the performance of the car is not something that can be easily bridged by the efforts of a No. 2 driver.

By lap 23, the time gap between Hamilton and Verstappen had reached 2.3 seconds.

Continuing to run in this stance, Hamilton could be able to stretch the gap between himself and Verstappen to around 10 seconds again.

At this time, the sky of the track has gradually darkened, and all the lights on the track are lit up, illuminating the track that should have been pitch black as day.

On the 25th lap, the set of soft tires on Qin Miao's car, which had been running for 27 laps, finally came to an end, and not long after Hamilton crossed the finish line of the 25th lap, Qin Miao entered the pit lane.

In fact, normally speaking, Qin Miao can change to a set of neutral tires to run the whole course at this time, but the team has taken into account the problem that the track temperature will get lower and lower as the race progresses during the main race stage.

In order to further avoid the risk of tires due to heating problems, the team still replaced Qin Miao with a set of hard tires.

The team's idea is very simple, it is still that word, Qin Miao in this game must use the word stability throughout.

Faced with the choice of the team, Qin Miao did not object, in this regard, Qin Miao still believed in the judgment of the team strategy group.

The normal pit stop tire change time is 2.4 seconds, which is a decent result for Mercedes.

After leaving the station, Qin Miao fell to the position 3 seconds behind Perez.

This is actually inevitable, because Perez was in front of Qin Miao before he pitted for a tire change, and it can even be said that Qin Miao's broken soft tires were still faster than Perez's new hard tires before ending its final mission, but not much faster.

Once the race was here, almost all the drivers made a pit stop.

It's almost time for the drivers to finish.

Qin Miao is temporarily ranked fourth, and there is only one Perez left before Hamilton's eight-crown dream is shattered.

Verstappen, on the other hand, was already lying flat, and the main thing he was thinking about at this time was: the last game, try to fight for the championship.

Of course, this is just a joke, Verstappen still has the possibility of a Jedi reversal at this time, such as Qin Miao's car accident, or a flat tire.

So Pérez had to defend Qin Miao fiercely for Verstappen no matter what, even if it was only for that 1% possibility.

Even if it would help Hamilton.

Red Bull can't afford to choke.

However, when Pérez defended Qin Miao this time, he did not give up almost all his time advantage like he did when he defended Hamilton, and slowed down to block the riders behind him.

Perez was running the race normally at this time, waiting for Qin Miao to gradually catch up with him.

On lap 27, Kimi, the legendary driver and Ferrari's last Drivers' Championship-winner, had an accident on the track, knocking off the front wing of his car, and the suspension and brakes on the right front wheel were also visibly damaged.

Thankfully, Kimi was still able to drive his own car.

However, after returning to the pits, the team mechanic found that Kimi's car suspension was broken, and there was no way to repair it during the race, so the last race of Kimi's career came to an end in this crash and retirement.

After seeing this scene, many old fans at the scene couldn't help but feel a trace of sourness and loneliness in their hearts.

Many fans who sat in front of the TV and sighed even more, and another familiar driver left the F1 field.

The twilight of the hero, the white-headed beauty, these are all things that make people feel extremely pity and lamentable after watching them.

After Kimi retired from the race, the crowd near the grid waited for Kimi to get off the grid, giving the legendary Ferrari legend a round of applause.

It's just that from Kimi's expressionless face at this time, the audience can't judge Kimi's inner feelings at this time, but in terms of Kimi's character, he should probably be happy at this time......

However, because they were in the game at this time, many viewers were still watching Qin Miao's game, and because of this, the applause given to Kimi on the spot was somewhat sparse.

Of course, with Kimi's temperament, he wouldn't care about this, and he might even be happier if he was able to leave work early and retire.

Regardless, we should indeed say goodbye to the legendary F1 driver from Finland: Kimi · Rikknen。

On lap 28, Qin Miao shortened the gap between herself and Pérez to 0.6 seconds.

The two drivers were about to battle it out in the DRS zone on lap 28 in the first stage.

Because of Pérez's wonderful performance in defending Hamilton, the audience at this time was expecting Pérez.

The audience felt that Perez would also adopt the same defensive method against Qin Miao, and the effect should be similar to Perez's defense of Hamilton, after all, in the subjective perspective of many people, although Qin Miao is an extremely talented racing genius, compared with his teammate Hamilton, Qin Miao still has a lot of room for growth.

But it really waited for Qin Miao to come behind Perez and enter the first DRS big straight on the track with Perez through T5.

The picture on the field is very different from what the audience expects.

Although Pérez began to draw dragons from the moment he entered the DRS area, Qin Miao still approached and surpassed Pérez from the outside at an unbelievable speed.

There is quite a charm of breaking ten thousand laws with one force.

Then the audience's gaze at Qin Miao began to become complicated, just now Pérez defended Hamilton for more than 7 seconds, that circle is not an exaggeration for Hamilton to call it hell.

How did you get to Qin Miao here, Qin Miao was directly broken into a DRS area?

Perez was also a little confused: Yes, I also want to know why I was directly given seconds by Qin Miao?

My ERS battery is full! I opened the ERS, why is he so fast?

In fact, Qin Miao filled the battery with electricity in the first few laps, and then turned on the DRS in the DRS area at the same time, and turned on the highest power mode of the racing battery, so there was such a terrifying speed that flew directly over.

But it's not without a price, a DRS big straight, Qin Miao's battery power burned 70%.

But Qin Miao is not worried about what will happen to the battery, on the one hand, this is a new battery, and the possibility of problems is very low, on the other hand, the season will be over after this game.

Qin Miao's W11 is unlikely to have other competitions to participate in other than the Pirelli tyre test after the end of the season.

After that, they were either pulled out of the exhibition or put in the storage room of the Mercedes team headquarters and put in the clothes.

Therefore, Qin Miao used this mode at this time to have no psychological burden at all.

After surpassing Perez lightly, Qin Miao's speed slowed down very significantly.

Because as Qin Miao surpassed Pérez, his ranking rose to third, although the time gap between Verstappen, who was second at this time, and Qin Miao had come to 25 seconds, but the time gap at this time seemed a little irrelevant.

Because no matter what, as long as Qin Miao finishes this race with his current position, 100% of the drivers' championship in the 2021 season will fall into Qin Miao's pocket.

Therefore, although Qin Miao's transcendence of Perez in the arena seemed a little dull and uneventful.

But when Qin Miao completed this transcendence, domestic fans and the live broadcast room that was broadcasting the game, or the studio of five-star sports and Tencent Sports broke out into extremely enthusiastic cheers.

Although many people had been mentally prepared before the start of today's race, they guessed that Qin Miao might break the history of Chinese racing and win the final drivers' championship.

But after Qin Miao came to this position, those fans and fans who were looking forward to Qin Miao bringing back a good news and making achievements on the field were so excited that they couldn't help themselves.

In the dormitory area of many universities, the originally quiet dormitory area did not know which one rushed to the balcony of the dormitory without fear of death, and roared angrily outside the dormitory: "Qin Miao is awesome!" ”

Suddenly, a stone stirred up a thousand waves, just like a monkey in the forest suddenly had a warning cry, and soon other monkeys would also start to warn, and then the whole forest would only have the roar of monkeys, and other cheers and strange cries also emerged from the dormitory of the campus one after another.

What? Disturbing other students' rest? At this time, they are too excited and excited, where can they take care of so much?

In addition to the overly explosive celebration of these college students, the vast majority of domestic car fans are young people who have already started a family and have their own jobs.

Many people took leave from the company, invited three or five friends, and came to a small bar near their home to watch F1 races, or buy some barbecue or something, drive to camping, and then stay up late to watch the game, while eating barbecue and chatting with friends.

And after seeing that Qin Miao came to the third, the movement of these people was no less than that of those young people.

The only group of fans who are relatively quiet are those who have families and have children, and stay up late at home to watch the races.

Although they also wanted to cheer, considering that tomorrow Monday, the wife will go to work and the children will go to school, so they finally resisted the urge to cheer.

But the excitement in my heart always has to find a way to vent it, so I saw this part of the fans dancing at home, as if they were holding some kind of mysterious religious ceremony, plus the light on the TV, how weird it looked.

……

On the P room side of the Meiben team, after Qin Miao overtook the driver in front of him, there were completely two different atmospheres in the P room of the team at this time.

Half of the Hamilton crew's staff, relatives and friends, were already gloomy at this time.

However, after Qin Miao surpassed Perez, they also gave Qin Miao a round of applause.

The other half is more "cheerful".

They immediately started high-fiveing each other in celebration.

Many people even hugged each other and jumped and jumped.

What? You say the game isn't over yet, it's too early to celebrate?

Qin Miao has not made any low-level mistakes after running for a season, so the staff of Qin Miao's crew believe in Qin Miao just like Qin Miao believes in them.

At this time, Toto and other senior executives of Mercedes were also smiling.

Although they also hope that Hamilton will break the all-time record in F1 and achieve an unprecedented eight crowns.

But if Qin Miao won the drivers' championship in the first season, they would also be happy to see it.

After all, Qin Miao is a talent discovered by Toto, Qin Miao will always have Toto's mark on his body, and the better he performs, the greater Toto's credit.

So from the team's point of view, whoever wins the final Drivers' Championship is acceptable for the team.

At this time, the Meiben team is serving water, and it is really a bowl of water, and the team will not favor anyone.

The same is true when it comes to celebrating.

After Qin Miao surpassed Perez, even if there were very violent mood swings, it would not affect his physical state Qin Miao felt that his hands had a tingling feeling due to excessive adrenaline secretion, Qin Miao couldn't remember the last time he felt this feeling, but one thing was certain, that is, this feeling was really refreshing.

After all, the position he couldn't have imagined two years ago was now under his feet.
