And in this accident, the person who made the most profit was Qin Miao, because he directly rose 5 positions, from 11th to 6th.

In addition to Qin Miao and Magnussen, who made a profit in the front, the happiest person was Zhou Guanyu, who started last.

Although the number of his main competitors in front of him has not changed, at least the time gap between him and the driver in front of him from the pits has been eliminated because of the safety car and his position has risen two again.

Although Ricardo appeared behind Zhou Guanyu, Zhou Guanyu was not empty at all, and the defensive skills he learned from Qin Miao just lacked a suitable opponent to practice.

The safety car was carried from lap 1 to lap 4, and race was about to restart from lap 5.

After the restart of the race, there were no other changes to the drivers' positions.

After all, the driver's position before the start is now limited, so it is believed that this scene will be the mainstream in the future safety car period.

After the game restarted, Qin Miao stuck behind Magnussen.

However, as the game progressed, Qin Miao also found that when there was still water on the track, he basically couldn't attack Magnussen in front of him.

Although it was easier to follow the car this season than last season, the tail speed of the straight in the latter part of the Mercedes race was almost meaningless, and Haas didn't know what kind of medicine he was taking, and the speed was a little unreasonable.

It's also possible that Ferrari's engine has been a little too strong this season.

Things soon got better, though, as the lines on the track were run out of the way over time.

Qin Miao's speed also began to increase.

On lap 11, Qin Miao finally overtook the Ferrari-powered Haas in front of him with great difficulty at the end of the big straight, and moved up to 5th.

However, even if Qin Miao surpassed the Haas in front of him, he still had a time gap of 4 seconds from Norris in front of him.

It's only been six laps since the start of the race......

At the same time, when Qin Miao got rid of Magnussen's restraint and began to run his normal long-distance rhythm, he did not forget to deliberately press the puddle on the side of the road to cool down his racing tires.

Because the rain had stopped, and Qin Miao had been trying to attack Magnussen in front of him, Qin Miao's semi-rain tires were a little too hot.

In terms of long-distance speed in the main race, Qin Miao is actually faster than Norris, and can chase Norris for 0.2 seconds per lap.

But because of Magnussen's existence, the time gap between Qin Miao and Norris is a little too big, a full 4 seconds, and Qin Miao has to chase 20 laps to catch up if he runs normally.

With the speed of W13, even if he catches up with Norris in front of him, as long as Norris does not make obvious mistakes, it will be difficult for Qin Miao to overtake him.

When the time comes, you can only throw one skill on Norris's head, and then keep putting pressure on Norris to see when he can make forced mistakes.

On lap 17, Ricardo, who was in the last place, still did not overtake Zhou Guanyu in front of him, so Ricardo simply did not try.

Anyway, the driving line on the track was already more obvious at this time, and Ricciardo directly chose to pit for tire changes, and after coming out, Ricciardo changed to a set of neutral tires.

After all, the lane on the track had already run out, and it was possible that Ricciardo would be faster than the other drivers on dry tyres.

But the only problem now is that another rain is coming soon.

Just when the other teams were still struggling with whether to run on the semi-wet tyres until that rain came, or whether to make a pit stop to change the tyres while there was still a little time to do so.

On lap 18, Ricciardo was two seconds faster than Albon in front of him in the first time period.

That's right, it's a time interval.

And the lap time was only 0.2 seconds slower than Red Bull's Verstappen.

Don't look at the 0.2 seconds is not much, and Ricciardo, who switched to dry tyres, is still not as fast as Verstappen.

But the performance gap between McLaren and Red Bull is here, and to have such a result can only say that the track at this time is indeed suitable for dry tyres.

As a result, by lap 19, a large number of drivers had chosen to pit for dry tyres.

The speed advantage of two seconds in a timed period is too great, and basically no one will give up this opportunity.

And Qin Miao was no exception and was called into the maintenance area.

However, unlike other drivers, Qin Miao changed to soft tires.

On the one hand, considering that it will rain later, with soft tires, Qin Miao can push forward with all his strength and try to undercut Norris in front of him.

On the other hand, Qin Miao does not have the trouble of tire heating.

Although there are now obvious lines on the track, the temperature of the track does not reach the average level of a normal track so quickly.

The optimal working temperature of soft tires is about 10° higher than that of neutral tires.

As a result, all the teams chose to switch their drivers to medium tyres at this time, as medium tyres are easier to achieve the right operating temperature in such track conditions than soft tyres, even though they know that it may rain soon.

Overall, it is still a neutral tire that is more cost-effective than a soft tire.

But there is no such trouble here in Qin Miao.

The team has found in many competitions that Qin Miao has his own unique skills in tire heating.

By lap 20, all the drivers had already completed their pit stops and switched to dry tires, and all the drivers invariably used neutral tires, and only Qin Miao used soft tires.

However, no one thinks there is anything surprising about this, after all, with Qin Miao's long-distance speed and the ability to protect the tires, there is no obvious difference in the durability of his soft tires and the durability of other drivers' medium tires.

And because all the drivers have entered the station once, Qin Miao's position has not changed.

However, the gratifying thing is that after changing into soft tires, Qin Miao's speed has increased very significantly.

Now Qin Miao's lap speed can catch up with Norris in front of him by 0.6 seconds.

Despite this, there are still some concerns on the team's side.

Because of the current track conditions, it is difficult to overtake on a non-racing line.

Even if Qin Miao chased behind Norris in front of him, it would be difficult for Qin Miao to overtake the other party.

So the audience can see that Qin Miao chased within a second behind Norris on lap 27.

Qin Miao was also within this time gap and tried to attack Norris for three laps.

But just like the team was worried, with obvious water accumulation on the track, Qin Miao could only step out of the racing line to try to attack Norris.

Qin Miao's racing tires will immediately begin to cool down quickly, the grip will decrease, and even skid.

Qin Miao also tried to run out of the outside line where he was ready to overtake before the braking point of T2.

So while chasing Norris in front of him, Qin Miao also deliberately drove past the outside of the track more than once.

I just want to run the outside track a little dry.

But Qin Miao, who has no last resort, also has a time when he has a leak, and the drainage performance of dry tires is far inferior to that of semi-rainy tires.

At this time, the driving line was run out of the 18 drivers on the field with their own semi-rain tires, and Qin Miao's dry tires could bring very limited improvement to the track conditions.

So Qin Miao was embarrassed behind Norris, although Qin Miao's speed was faster than Norris, but because of the restrictions of the track, Qin Miao couldn't surpass him.

Even Norris didn't have much defensive action against Qin Miao.

Of course, Qin Miao was not the only one in the arena who encountered such a situation.

Leclerc, who was also faster than the driver in front of him, was also blocked behind him by Pérez.

The two friends also gave up on lap 22.

Qin Miao was 1.4 seconds behind Norris to cruise to protect the tires, and the Leclerc in front was also similar to Qin Miao.

Fast forward to lap 34.

Surprisingly, the rain that was said to be going to fall soon before the start of the race has not fallen until now, and even the race has turned on DRS on this lap.

After Qin Miao, who had been protecting the fetus, got the news, he immediately began to visibly shorten the time gap between him and Norris in front of him.

Norris was shocked at first after seeing DRS open, and then quickly reacted, this is the 34th lap, no matter how Qin Miao's tire protection ability is against the sky, how fast can a set of soft tires that have run 15 laps still have?

Then on the 35th lap, the combination of T14 and T15, Qin Miao chased within 1 second behind Norris.

Norris saw the Meiben W13 that appeared in his rearview mirror, and cold sweat came down.

Special Qin Miao, are you really not a person? Pirelli is your father? How did you run on soft tires for so long and still have grip?

didn't let Norris wait long, in the first timed section of the 36th lap, Qin Miao used DRS to easily surpass Norris and came to fourth.

In this process, Qin Miao still took the route that he had deliberately run on the track.

It can be regarded as Qin Miao's preliminary preparations were not in vain.

However, after arriving here, Qin Miao thought that his game was over here, because after surpassing Norris, Qin Miao was 17 seconds away from Leclerc in front of him.

Although this time gap will not make Qin Miao be trapped in the process of the game, there is basically no possibility for Qin Miao to go further.

On the side of Five-Star Sports, Fei Ge was also very happy after seeing Qin Miao finish surpassing Norris, but in addition to being happy, he also said with some regret: "Mercedes' racing this season is really not very good, unless there is a mistake by a driver in front, otherwise Qin Miao can only finish in fourth after completing the overtaking of Norris." ”

Next, Qin Miao started his own cruise, and began to do his best to protect his tires.

And Norris, although he was a little stunned after being overtaken by Qin Miao, this set of soft tires still has grip after Qin Miao ran for so long.

But he wasn't in a hurry because his place had dropped.

At this time, there were still 27 laps before the end of the race, and Norris didn't believe that Qin Miao's soft tires on the car could still last for 27 laps.

Interestingly, on lap 40, Verstappen, who had already started to lap slowly, chased after Hamilton.

And the game also showed Hamilton the blue flag, and during the whole process, the director directly locked his camera on Hamilton and Verstappen.

Hamilton, who was inseparable from Verstappen last season, has fallen directly into this situation this season, which is also emotional and embarrassing.

At this time, Qin Miao still had speed, but because DRS was turned on, the distance between Qin Miao and Norris was only between 1.1 seconds and 0.7 seconds.

Anyway, Qin Miao can always throw Norris behind him out of the DRS area before the DRS monitoring point.

Norris is also convinced by this, Qin Miao has proved his terrifying defensive ability and defensive IQ again and again, as well as his ability to protect the fetus against the sky.

Lap 50.

Norris, who was a little confident at first, is now sweating profusely.

How can Qin Miao still have speed??

At the same time, Leclerc and Ferrari, who were faster than Pérez but could not find a chance to overtake each other, also chose to gamble at this time.

On lap 50, Ferrari called Leclerc into the pit.

In 2.4 seconds, a new set of soft tyres was replaced.

Ferrari's side actually calculated that after Leclerc came out, he would fall in front of Qin Miao about 0.5 seconds.

It's just that Leclerc also has pressure, after all, this pit stop time is a little too extreme, and there is some water at the exit of the pit lane, so Leclerc was a little anxious to fuel after coming out, and there was a brief slippage.

Although with Leclerc's reaction speed and driving instincts, he quickly corrected this point, but this also caused Leclerc to not be completely stuck in front of Qin Miao after he came out.

So much so that after coming out, Qin Miao just overtook Leclerc's side.

Leclerc just fell in the middle between Qin Miao and Norris.

Qin Miao naturally noticed this.

In fact, Qin Miao thought about defending Leclerc behind him.

But considering the overstretched tyre allowance, as well as the performance of the race, and the durability of Leclerc's tyres.

In the end, Qin Miao still didn't take any defensive moves against Leclerc, and the time gap between Qin Miao and Leclerc was 0.5 seconds at the DRS detection point position on lap 50.

After entering the DRS area, Qin Miao ran his normal rhythm on the driving line without any defensive movements, while Leclerc overtook Qin Miao from the outside.

In this way, Qin Miao switched back to his position without any loss of speed, and Leclerc did not delay too long on Qin Miao's body.

However, on the same lap 51, Pérez also opted for a pit stop to change tyres.

Originally, he was a lot faster than Leclerc, and after entering and exiting, he continued to lead Leclerc without pressure.

At the same time, the Meiben team saw that the speed of the soft tires after the two drivers pitted was not bad, so they also asked Qin Miao in the team TR: "Qin Miao, how are the tires?" Do you need to try a pit stop? ”

Qin Miao was stunned for a moment, he was indeed confident that he would finish the race with this set of soft tires, but it might be a little difficult in the later stage, and he would have to give full play to his imagination in defense at that time.

But if you really change to a new set of soft tires, the result may be very different, with your own tire protection ability, you basically don't have to worry about the consumption of tires in the later stage.

But despite this, Qin Miao still asked in the team TR: "If I pit stop, where will I fall after I come out?" ”

"One second before Sebastian Vettel, you have a 16-second window and 12 laps to go." Frankie's answer was quick and precise.

“…… BOX！ Qin Miao thought for a moment and gave the team an affirmative answer.

Finally, Qin Miao's soft tires, which have run 33 laps on the track, have ended its mission.

Qin Miao also desperately squeezed out all the residual value of this set of tires during this time.

It is worth mentioning that because of Qin Miao's sudden acceleration in the later stage, after he came out of the pit area, Qin Miao fell two seconds in front of Vettel.

And after seeing Qin Miao enter the station, Norris breathed a sigh of relief.

I don't know if he was relieved because he had no car in front of him, or because Qin Miao finally didn't continue to hold on to the track with his set of soft tires.

After coming out of the maintenance area, Qin Miao naturally began to push forward with all his might as soon as possible.

Although Qin Miao's lap speed can't be compared with Verstappen, Qin Miao's speed is still faster than Norris.

Basically, Qin Miao is 1.7-1.9 seconds faster than Norris every lap.

And just when Qin Miao came out of the maintenance area and began to chase Norris.

On the 54th lap, a surprising scene occurred.

Leclerc made a mistake when chasing Pérez.

When entering the T14, Leclerc may have been milking at the wheel, or was affected by some mysterious oriental force, and when entering the corner, Leclerc obviously ate too much.

And the T14's sausage shoulder is notoriously high, so Leclerc's entire car was directly bounced off by the sausage shoulder.

After landing on the ground, Leclerc's car bounced the car upwards on all four wheels due to the reaction force, and at the same time Leclerc tried to reverse to the right to save the car.

But it was all in vain, and the Ferrari lost control after landing, paddling out of the track and spinning in circles.

Eventually, the left side of the car crashed into the outer parapet.

Fortunately, the impact was not serious, and the Leclerc car's suspension did not go wrong and continued to return to the track.

But the problem was that Leclerc's front left nose wing was knocked off a large chunk.

With such an injury, Leclerc would have to go into the pits to replace the front wing.

Although the time for the Ferrari team to change the tyres and nose wing was only 8.8 seconds, when Leclerc came out of the pits, he fell directly behind Yuki Tsunoda and was in eighth place.

And on the 55th lap, Qin Miao caught up with Bottas.

In the face of Qin Miao, Bottas's defensive willingness is also quite strong.

But in the face of the tire advantage, Bottas's resistance seems a little redundant, and Bottas is indeed just a pure track speed player, and Bottas's ability at both offensive and defensive ends is obviously not as good as Qin Miao.

In the DRS area of lap 55, Qin Miao easily overtook Bottas and improved his ranking to fourth.

At this time, Qin Miao was only 7 seconds away from the time gap between Norris in front of him.

There were still 7 laps left until the end of the race.

With Qin Miao's current speed of 1.5 seconds per lap, it is only a matter of time before she catches up with Norris and overtakes.

Surprisingly, Mercedes-Benz was obviously a little stretched in qualifying for this race, but no one expected that despite the unsatisfactory performance, they actually had a chance to get another podium.

On lap 60, Qin Miao chased to the DRS area behind Norris.

As for Norris's resistance to Qin Miao, it is basically the same as a little Lori against a 200-pound strong man.

Better than nothing.

In the DRS area, relying on the terrifying acceleration provided by the soft tires, Qin Miao easily surpassed Norris in front of him, and raised his ranking to third.

And after this incident, the director of the P room of the Meiben team, who has not gotten the broadcast footage of the race for a long time, also gave a rare picture.

It can be seen that after Qin Miao completed the surpassing of Norris, everyone in the P room of the Meiben team cheered, and many people hugged and applauded each other.

Even Toto, who has been in a bad mood lately, has a smile on his face.

It's hard to imagine that this is a team that was still fighting for the championship last season, but now Qin Miao has only won a third place, and these people are happy to be like this.

It can only be said that feng shui takes turns.

In the end, there was no change in the position of the top three drivers, with Verstappen crossing the line first, followed by Pérez and Qin Miao.

Qin Miao was followed by Norris Bottas.

Leclerc, on the other hand, crossed the finish line in sixth place.

The final standings for this game are as follows:

P1: Verstappen +26 (fastest lap)

P2: Pérez +18

P3: Qin Miao +14

P4: Norris +12

P5: Bottas +10

P6: Leclerc +8

P7: Yuki Tsunoda +6

It is a pity that Zhou Guanyu in this race did not have a good starting position, and the team chose a wrong pit stop when changing tires.

So much so that after the other drivers pitted for tyres, he pitted for tyres on the next lap and missed the best pit stop for tyres.

So in this game, Zhou Guanyu was a pity that he couldn't get points.
