Red Bull were also a little too anxious because of Ferrari's sudden pit stop, and they didn't have time to calculate where Pérez would be after his pit stop.

After Pérez came out of the pit lane with a tire change speed of 2.9 seconds, he fell to the position of 3 seconds behind Qin Miao.

The time gap is a small thing, the key is Qin Miao in front.

Do you think with the relationship between Qin Miao and Leclerc, coupled with Qin Miao's tire protection and defensive ability, will he try to defend you Pérez?

Although Qin Miao and Pérez have no competition at all now, even Mercedes and Red Bull were not a team at the same level at the beginning of this season.

But Qin Miao had nothing else to do at this time except cruising.

There is an old Chinese saying: "Hitting a child on a rainy day is also idle." ”

There is another sentence: "It's coming." ”

Now that you're behind Pérez, I'm going to have to come up with something dry to get the team's sponsors in the camera more, right?

Just when Qin Miao was rubbing his hands, at the end of the 16th lap.

As if possessed by a driver with the same last name, Russell made a mistake on the track and the car crashed into the parapet.

As mentioned earlier, as long as there is an accident on the street, then the accident cannot be small.

Unsurprisingly, safety cars were dispatched.

After that, Pérez's pit stop was for nothing.

The safety cars came out, and most of the drivers naturally chose to pit at this time.

However, from Hamilton's onwards, the drivers behind him did not choose to pit at this time because they were too far from the pit entrance.

When they pitted, the formation in front of them had already been compressed, and at this time, the pit stop was not to reduce the loss, but to expand the loss.

Although Qin Miao's soft tires can continue to run, and even the speed is faster than most riders who use neutral tires, Qin Miao still chose to pit stop.

is still the same sentence, the current Mei Ben is in a state where there is more than enough than the top, and whether or not he enters the pit stop will not have much impact on the final result of Qin Miao's game.

So if there is such a bargain in front of you, it is better to pick it up.

After Qin Miao came out of the pit stop to change tires, he naturally returned to Perez.

And Leclerc, as if God wanted to eat for food, picked up the biggest bargain of this game.

On top of that, Verstappen also moved up one position to second, followed by Sainz and Pérez.

It can be said that in Russell's crash, the only victim was Pérez.

The safety car was carried from lap 16 to lap 20 before Russell's car debris was cleaned up.

After that, of course, Leclerc began to compress the car formation and was ready to go.

Qin Miao actually has certain ideas here, such as seeing if he can find some opportunities from Perez in front of him after starting.

Then after Leclerc in front of him started, a T27 out of the corner, Qin Miao, who used neutral tires, was thrown away by Pérez with a time gap of 0.2 seconds.

Even on the follow-up big straight, Qin Miao took advantage of the grip of the engine and tires to catch up a little.

But after Perez saw that Qin Miao behind him had offensive intentions, he firmly stood on the inner line of the track, and Qin Miao's track began to dolphin jump at the end of the big straight, and basically couldn't raise any speed, so Qin Miao was closest to Pérez, that is, the front of the car was less than a meter close to the rear diffuser of Perez's car.

Then there was no then, and Pérez came to the brake point of T1.

Facing Pérez, who firmly occupied the inside line, Qin Miao couldn't find any offensive line even if he braked late, so he could only cry out in vain.

The rhythm of the next game entered the cruising state that Qin Miao was very familiar with.

Qin Miao was gradually pulled away by the leading group in front, and the two Alpines in the back could not pose any threat to Qin Miao.

What stands out is a boredom.

It is worth mentioning that because Hamilton did not pit for tyres when the safety car appeared, Hamilton appeared behind Magnussen at this time.

Of course, everyone knows that Hamilton's position is only temporary, and as he pits for tyres, he will inevitably fall back to the rear.

Before you know it, the race is on lap 36.

Just when Qin Miao was bored running, there was another accident on the track.

Alonso's car suddenly went wrong and the speed of the car began to drop significantly.

The gearbox just stuck in fourth gear, and it was useless to try to upshift or downshift.

Alonso even reported in the TR that his car had lost momentum.

Later, Alonso was seen trying to slide back to the pit lane with the kinetic energy of the car, but because it was a little too far from the pit entrance, Alonso's car just slid to the pit lane entrance and stopped.

On the other hand, Bottas, who was likely to score points in this race, also had no choice but to retire due to a car failure.

And that's not the end of it, Ricciardo has also retired.

Ricardo had a gearbox problem and couldn't move up after getting stuck in second gear.

Therefore, he had no choice but to withdraw from the competition.

In the space of three laps, all three cars retired together, which is one of the few big scenes in the sport of Formula 1.

And perhaps the most unlucky of all is Hamilton.

He didn't pit the first time the safety car appeared, and this time the virtual safety car was Hamilton's best chance to attack, but the team was too late as he passed the pit entrance.

As a result, he missed the best pit stop, and by the time he came back to the pit entrance on lap two, the pit entrance was already closed.

Because at this time, the horse correction on the track was pushing an Alpine and a McLaren towards the pits.

The virtual safety car lasted until lap 41, with 9 laps left before the end of the race, and Qin Miao did not speed up, but maintained a cruising speed on the track, slowly and leisurely preparing to finish the last 9 laps.

Then all the shots were on Leclerc in first place and Verstappen in second.

The two had a spectacular 9 laps on the track.

However, due to a collision between Albon and Stroll on the track on the last two laps, the yellow flag was lit for a long time in the first timed period, resulting in Leclerc, who was behind Verstappen, having no DRS to attack on the big straight.

When it came time to cross the line, Verstappen held on to his position and won Red Bull's first drivers' race of the new season.

Leclerc, on the other hand, had no choice but to bring it back with the second, the third was Sainz, who had a stable performance in this game, the fourth Perez, and the fifth Qin Miao.

It is worth mentioning that Hamilton, who was not very good in terms of starting position or caring, ended up finishing 10th, which was at least a point for himself.

On the return lap after the race, Qin Miao parked his car in the car inspection area and got out of the car, and when he said hello to other drivers who were familiar with him, he saw a dejected Zhou Guanyu walking past him.

At this time, Zhou Guanyu looked like his spirit had been drained away, and the whole person looked wooden.

However, Qin Miao still had work to deal with at this time, so even if he wanted to go up and ask what was going on, he couldn't spare time.

After completing the post-game weighing, Barber found Qin Miao, and when he saw Barber coming, Qin Miao asked with some curiosity: "How is Zhou Guanyu's results in this game?" ”

"Eleventh."

Qin Miao was even more puzzled, although after the end of the game, he only got an eleventh place, and it was really uncomfortable to be only one position away from scoring points, but it didn't seem like he had lost his soul, right?

However, Qin Miao soon suppressed the doubts in his heart and went to accept the post-game interview.

The interviewer who interviewed Qin Miao was the reporter that Qin Miao was very familiar with.

After the interview ended, Qin Miao returned to the home of the team and was interviewed by other media.

After completing all the media work, Qin Miao participated in a team meeting, and after the time came to eleven o'clock in the evening, Qin Miao's work was completely over.

After the Saudi Grand Prix, the next race is the Australian Grand Prix.

But that's two weeks later.

Qin Miao, who had been eating sand in the Middle East for two days, didn't want to stay in the Middle East anymore, and after the work was over, Qin Miao didn't even stay in the Middle East for one more day, and after packing up his things a little, he flew to France with Qiu Meng, Zhou Guanyu and the assistants of the two drivers.

……

On the plane, Qin Miao poured Zhou Guanyu a cup of coffee, and he was holding a bottle of Coke.

After sitting down, Qin Miao took a sip of Coke, and then reached out and patted the sullen Zhou Guanyu.

"What the hell is going on? It looked like a few hundred dollars had been stolen, listless. ”

Zhou Guanyu looked at Qin Miao suspiciously: "You don't know? ”

"I don't know, I've been busy since the game was over, interviews, meetings, and thanks from fans and sponsors, and I got on the plane right away, and I didn't even have time to catch my breath."

The corners of Zhou Guanyu's mouth twitched, is this the face of the world champion?

"It's not a big deal, I was cheated by the team during the race." Obviously, Zhou Guanyu didn't want to bother with this matter, and originally wanted to switch to another topic after a perfunctory sentence.

But Qin Miao doesn't care about you so much, hearing that there are melons to eat, Qin Miao suddenly became energetic.

"Oh? How to pit the method, talk about it in detail. ”

Zhou Guanyu rolled his eyes, looking at Qin Miao's excited face, he had already predicted how Qin Miao would behave after he told this matter, and he estimated that he would have to laugh at himself fiercely.

But despite this, Zhou Guanyu said: "During the race, I overtook Albon on the outside of the track because of a positional conflict with Albon.

Then I asked the team if they needed to give the place back. ”

Qin Miao nodded: "It's quite normal to get here." ”

"You still don't listen?"

Qin Miao hurriedly made a gesture of pulling her lips up, motioning for Zhou Guanyu to continue.

Zhou Guanyu continued: "It's true that there is still room for redemption here, just return the position, my speed is faster than Albon, and it is only a matter of time before I surpass him."

Unfortunately, the team said they didn't need to return the place to Albon. ”

"It's usually a five-second penalty." Qin Miao couldn't help but interject again.

Zhou Guanyu didn't care about Qin Miao, Xiao Xiong spread his hands and said, "Yes, the penalty is 5 seconds."

In fact, even if you get here, you can be punished for 5 seconds, after all, strictly speaking, I don't have a firm idea, and I take the initiative to return the position, and I also have a certain responsibility.

But here comes the annoyance, I went back to the pit lane to change the tires when I was yellow, and accepted the time penalty by the way. ”

Speaking of this, Zhou Guanyu paused, looked at Qin Miao and said, "You know the normal process of punishment. ”

Qin Miao took a sip of Coke and said: "You know, park the car, all the technicians are not allowed to touch the racing car, and they can only touch the racing car after the specified time is up." ”

"That's right! That's it! But after my car was parked, the insects directly cocked my car! And just made me wait for five seconds! Five seconds! That's it, but when the time for the penalty time comes, it's time to change the tire! This worm just put my car down! Drop it down! ”

Zhou Guanyu really got more and more excited the more he talked, and Qin Miao had a feeling that this guy might want to directly kill the team technician in charge of the front jack of the Arrow team.

However, there is one thing to say, if you put yourself into Zhou Guanyu's perspective, encountering such a situation will indeed make people angry.

"Naturally, I had to re-jack my car up and change the tires, and I wasted a total of 15 seconds to get the tires right, and after I went out for two laps, the team told me that the five-second penalty was not counted and that I had to be re-penalized...... I was sitting in the car and it was really Minos! ”

"Oh, don't swear!" Qin Miao hurriedly stopped Zhou Guanyu.

"Hey......

In the end, the eleventh finish, and if it hadn't been for this, I would have at least finished in front of Magnussen......

The most annoying thing is that I was deducted one point for my super driver's license. ”

Originally, Qin Miao still had some sympathy for Zhou Guanyu when he heard the front, after all, Zhou Guanyu's game was really miserable.

But after hearing the end, knowing that Zhou Guanyu's super driver's license had been deducted one point, Qin Miao didn't hold back.

"Poof......

"You're special!"
