However, as the race progressed, looking at the mist raised behind Qin Miao's racing buttocks, Leclerc couldn't help but curse in the team TR.

I used to know that Qin Miao's defensive ability was terrifying, but in the final analysis, Leclerc experienced Qin Miao's defense in "i Raising" or in the simulator, and in reality, this was the first time that Qin Miao was blocked behind him.

I have to say, this feels really aggrieved.

After experiencing it once, Leclerc never wanted to experience it a second time.

After all, Qin Miao was the first car to drive on this track with all his might after the red flag, and he brought up the most mist when he was driving at full speed.

In the next few laps, the time gap between Leclerc and Qin Miao was within 1 second, but Leclerc was locked behind him as if he had been immobilized by Qin Miao.

Leclerc tried many ways to attack Qin Miao.

But Qin Miao can always block Leclerc's route where Leclerc wants to attack, as if he has eyes in the back of his head.

The Monte Carlo track is not wide, and Qin Miao basically only needs to block the key route of Leclerc's attack, and his attack will be considered a failure.

In the face of such Qin Miao, Leclerc really had a feeling of punching the cotton, and there was nowhere to use it.

And Qin Miao in front of Leclerc didn't feel too much pressure to defend Leclerc, after all, there are only a few corners that can be overtaken on this track, even if there are some unconventional corners, you just need to pay attention to the line before entering the corner, and you can block the route of the rear car at any time if you go a little narrower.

Although this method will be slightly slower compared to a normal approach to corners.

This is also why when the two cars are attacking and defending, they will be quickly thrown away by the car in front.

But now Qin Miao is ranked first, it doesn't matter whether Qin Miao is slow or not.

Therefore, based on Qin Miao's defensive concept, there were more and more cars behind him, more and more.

So much so that by the time the race came to the 5th lap, there were already five cars blocked behind Qin Miao.

In fact, on the third lap, after the Little Red Bull found that the track conditions had improved, they had already made Gasly pit stop and changed to semi-wet tires.

After switching to semi-wet tires, Gasly's speed on the straight did improve significantly, but in the corners, Gasly's car frequently locked up and understeered, and even the overall speed was not as good as the full wet tyres.

However, it was no longer raining and the course conditions would get better as the race progressed, so it was only a matter of time before Gasly's pace picked up.

On the 7th lap, although there was no safety car in front of them, many spectators looked at the long queue of almost 10 cars, and still had a sense of being carried by the safety car.

And Qin Miao is the safety car.

Leclerc behind Qin Miao is like Verstappen, who was dissatisfied with the speed of the safety car being too slow.

On lap 9, the uphill area of the first timed segment was already visible in some places where the road surface had already dried up.

On lap 11, the lines were visible in most parts of the track, but no one was willing to change cars.

On the one hand, it is because of the characteristics of the Monte Carlo circuit, and the fact that the dry place on the track is only the driving lane.

If you look at the track and pit for a tire change, you may be faster than the car in front of you, or even much faster, but because the rain outside the lane is not dry, if you get ahead, your dry tires will inevitably press the rain on the track.

At that time, the tires will cool down quickly, granularity, brake points can not brake, and problems such as understeer in corners will emerge.

So even if you get a set of dry tyres that are five seconds faster than the car in front of you, as long as it's raining on the track, you won't be able to overtake the car in front of you on the Monte Carlo track.

There is another very important reason, that is, Qin Miao spent 11 laps to press all the drivers behind him together.

Among the drivers behind him, the largest time gap between the car in front of him was only 1.7 seconds.

Crucially, the drivers behind rarely swap positions with the drivers in front of them due to track conditions.

And in such a very rare state, after the pit stop tire change falls out, it is no longer as simple as three or four positions to fall.

For example, if the 10th place pits for a tire change, it will definitely fall to the last place when it comes out.

The only drivers with the better pit stop window were the bottom 10 drivers.

Because if they pit at this time and change to dry tyres, they basically don't have any cars in front of them.

You can run your lap pace as hard as you can.

When the driver in front of him enters and exits, he can use the time and speed he has gained to try to cut the car in front of him.

But despite this, no one dared to pit for a tire change during this time.

After all, no one knows what looks like a dry-land track, and what the effect will be when you put on dry-ground tires.

Just when all the drivers behind Qin Miao were complaining, on the 14th lap, the situation on the track finally ushered in a turnaround.

Frankie told Qin Miao in the team TR: "Don't press the car too hard, release the car behind you a little, you need to pull out a suitable pit stop window for yourself." ”

After the team found that the track conditions had improved, they also began to consider the problems after Qin Miao made a pit stop.

Qin Miao, who was guarding Leclerc from chest tightness and shortness of breath, also slightly increased her lap speed after hearing Franky's words.

In fact, Qin Miao's current defensive ability is not as rebellious as in a normal dry state, and the reason why he can defend Leclerc behind him is mainly due to his starting position and the Monte Carlo track, the narrow track boundary.

However, during the time when Qin Miao decompressed the small train behind him, no one dared to enter the station.

Although it has begun to decompress, the distance between cars is still dense, and there are too many places to fall at this time.

It wasn't until lap 22 that the conditions on the track were fully open to the use of dry tyres, and the outside of the lane was gradually revealing the original colour of the track, and it was possible to overtake from other positions before the drivers attempted to make a pit stop for dry tyres.

This time, the tyre change was like a switch turned on, and the successive drivers all made a pit stop on one lap or the next.

Qin Miao and Leclerc behind him were no exception.

Mercedes is staring at Leclerc and Ferrari.

After Ferrari was ready to let Leclerc pit stop, Mercedes also called Qin Miao in as soon as possible, so the two entered the pit lane one after the other.

And at this time, Ferrari has no way to learn from Mei Ben to use telecom fraud, because there are no conditions for telecom fraud now, and the drivers in the rear have been replaced with dry tires, if you use telecom fraud at this time, Qin Miao is tricked in and Leclerc continues to run outside, it is definitely Leclerc who suffers.

Qin Miao changed to medium tires after making a pit stop, and except for him, most of the drivers used hard tires.

Obviously, these drivers wanted to run the next 55 laps straight on a set of hard tyres.

After all, it is too difficult to overtake at the Monte Carlo circuit, and although it can bring better tires to the driver and the performance speed will be faster, it is too difficult to overtake on this track, and the advantage gained after the pit stop and tire change may not necessarily translate into the driver's ability to attack.

So all the teams have a consensus at the Monte Carlo circuit that it's better not to pit if they don't pit yet.

For Qin Miao, the durability of neutral tires is basically about the same as that of hard tires, which is enough for him to finish the next races.

After Qin Miao entered the station, Toto also firmly fulfilled what he said to Qin Miao yesterday.

The team did not hold Qin Miao back, the time to pit and change tires was 2.2 seconds, and Qin Miao was still in first place after changing the tires.

And Ferrari's traditional performance was not brought into play in today's race.

Leclerc and Sainz had a lap between the pit stops, so there was no rush on the Ferrari side.

Then the race fell into a lull, because they had all been replaced with dry tyres, so there was basically no overtaking in the subsequent races.

Even if the dish looks like a local director in Monaco, you know that you should put the camera there at this time.

So the next continued until the 26th lap, and the audience at the scene watched Qin Miao defend Leclerc in a fancy way, and Leclerc tried to attack Qin Miao again and again at a position 0.5 seconds behind Qin Miao, but all of them were in vain.

Just when the fans of Ferrari and Leclerc gritted their teeth, and the fans of Mei Ben and Qin Miao cheered, but at the same time, they also sweated for Qin Miao.

On lap 26, there was another surprise on the track.

Mick made a mistake in T10 and slammed his butt into the wall with his butt, breaking his car in two.

This mistake really doesn't make sense, Qin Miao watched the replay after the game, and he couldn't understand how his old classmate drove this Haas into this B.

However, in any case, after the accident on the track, the race will dispatch the yellow flag as soon as possible.

Qin Miao, who had been defending Leclerc, also felt that the pressure behind him was much less.

In fact, after the safety car appeared, Qin Miao considered whether to take advantage of the safety car to enter the pit stop and change a set of tires, after all, if he insisted on insisting on a set of soft tires to run the next 55 laps, it was not impossible.

However, when Mick crashed, Qin Miao happened to pass by the entrance of the maintenance area, and Qin Miao had no choice at that time.

And when Qin Miao had a choice again, he had already seen the place where Mick had an accident in the car.

And after seeing the car accident, Qin Miao immediately dispelled the idea of wanting to take advantage of this opportunity to enter the pit stop to change tires.

Because Qin Miao is so familiar with this track, not only does he come here to walk around when he has time, but he also walked here for a long time on Thursday, and he is also very familiar with and understands the place where Mick Schumacher's car had an accident.

There was a crane there, but it wasn't very spacious, and it could only be used to store the retired cars for the time being, and only one could be stored.

And because the place is 5 meters to the left of the sea, there is only a sidewalk around, and there is no road for construction vehicles to move.

So during the race, Matthew couldn't get the accident car away.

With the normal accident process, it's not a big deal to get the car there for a race.

But Mick Schumacher's car was smashed in two, and the fuel tank was already exposed, and there was a possibility that the fuel tank was leaking.

So for this reason, Mick's car can't be parked there, after all, it's responsible for Matthew working on the scene and the fans and spectators outside the field.

In the event that a car catches fire, it becomes very difficult to extinguish the fire.

Therefore, Qin Miao judged that there was a great possibility that the FIA would dispatch the red flag and then ask someone to transport the wreckage of Mick's racing car.

And the only place where Mick's wreckage can be transported is the track.

Indeed, after four laps under the safety car, the race came to lap 30 and the race was suspended with a red flag.

After returning to the pit area, Qin Miao actually wanted to change to a new set of tires like most other drivers.

But at this time, Qin Miao's garage only had a new set of hard tires and a new set of soft tires, and there were no new neutral tires.

In fact, Qin Miao has considered whether to change to a set of soft tires at this time.

However, after proposing this idea, it was quickly rejected by Reyes and Franky.

Although there are no new neutral tires for Qin Miao to use, the set of neutral tires on Qin Miao's current tires has not run a few laps in total, and most of the mileage has been run out of the safety car, and the consumption of tire life is almost none.

Therefore, there is no need to replace this set of tires at all, and the team has also simulated that in the next race, Qin Miao can run the whole race with this set of neutral tires.

As for the soft tyres...... With Qin Miao's ability to protect the tire, it is indeed possible to run the whole race with a little saving.

After all, if you finish this race on soft tires, the wear and tear of soft tires will be extremely huge, and there is even a risk of a puncture.

Therefore, the team thinks that Qin Miao has no need to take such a risk, and just finish this race safely.

In the end, Qin Miao was also persuaded by the team, and did not choose to change the tires, but chose to continue to use the old set of neutral tires and wait for the game to restart.

This time the red flag did not last long, only 20 minutes.

After all, it doesn't take much time to move Mick Schumacher's car away and fix the parapet on the track.

However, after the red flag ended, because the slow car needed to be untied, and the exit position of the maintenance area of the Monte Carlo circuit in Monaco was too narrow, Qin Miao had already blocked the entire exit as soon as he parked at the exit position

As a result, the FIA was unable to untie the slow car directly at the exit of the pit.

Therefore, after the end of the red flag, there was no static start, but the safety car led the way for two laps.

In the process, the slow train will be unpacked.

It wasn't until lap 53 that all the unwrapped cars were back at the back of the line, and the race resumed.

Because the rule that the rear car is not allowed to overtake the front car and the rear diffuser during the safety car period was introduced, Qin Miao after the restart of the race did not make any mistakes from the start to the T1 at the next corner.

However, from the 32nd lap to the 40th lap, Leclerc behind Qin Miao was trying his best to attack Qin Miao.

But seriously, Qin Miao's defensive ability coupled with the geographical advantage.

Leclerc's offense looked somewhat dying.

From lap 36, the race entered the final countdown.

Because there is a time limit for an F1 race, after a certain point has passed, the number of laps of the next race will not be completed, but will become a time limit.

And because there were two red flags in this game, this rule was activated.

After the 36th lap of the race, the next 41 laps were not run, but the 35-minute countdown was changed.

After the 35-minute countdown, the race ends straight to the lap.

Behind Qin Miao, Leclerc's attack on Qin Miao ended with 15 minutes left in the countdown.

Because Leclerc's tires are also grainy and overworn, in the midst of the continuous attack.

In fact, in this process, Leclerc used all the offensive moves he had learned on Qin Miao.

But they were all resolved by Qin Miao one by one, and even Leclerc tried to attack Qin Miao when he was slow to avoid in front.

But Qin Miao's experience and ability in defense are too strong, and he can easily dissolve all of Leclerc's offensive moves.

This last period also became a traditional repertoire at the Monte Carlo circuit in Monaco.

The latter part of the game didn't make any waves either.

In the end, Qin Miao relied on her terrifying defensive ability to snatch the Monaco Grand Prix championship from the hands of two Ferrari drivers.

At the same time, Leclerc also broke the curse that he would definitely retire at home, and even won the podium.

It's just that he didn't win the championship on his home turf, which is still a bit regrettable for Leclerc.

Of course, this is not Leclerc's own problem.

And after thinking that the person who won the championship of this race was Qin Miao, Leclerc was convinced although he felt very regretful.

After all, after qualifying, Leclerc took the time to watch the replay of Qin Miao's fastest flying lap in qualifying.

In addition to the fact that Hamilton took the initiative to help Qin Miao pull the wake that surprised Leclerc, the quality and boldness of Qin Miao's flying circle also made Leclerc feel a lot of emotion.

How dare he?

After all, Leclerc last season also ran the flying lap of the Monaco qualifying race like Qin Miao, and the consequence was that in the last flying lap of Q3, Leclerc directly broke the right front hanging of the car on the wall.

Then Maranello's bastards claimed that the car had been repaired, but there was still a problem with the car in the main race stage, and they withdrew from the race.

In short, Leclerc didn't think that he didn't take pole position at the Monaco Grand Prix because he was not good at it, but just bad luck.

Finally, under the gaze of all the fans in Monaco, Qin Miao's No. 66 car roared across the finish line and waved the checkered flag.

After crossing the line, Qin Miao also had mixed feelings in his heart.

It's been the seventh race of the season, and I've never been on the edge of the podium at best.

Today we finally managed to win the first place, the first race of the season.

However, after crossing the line, Qin Miao did not feel relieved, but felt a trace of melancholy.

Because Qin Miao knows that with the performance of the W13 given to him by the team on the track this season, he estimates that this season is the only one who can win the Monaco Grand Prix by relying on the unique conditions of the track.

The other one that is a little more likely is the Hengaroring Grand Prix, but if the qualifying results of that Grand Prix are not good enough, it is unlikely that they will hit the trophy of the race winner.

Of course, this is just a fleeting thought.

After winning the championship of the sub-station, Qin Miao was naturally quite happy, no matter how the team's cars were developed and what the results were in the following season, at least at this moment, he relied on defense and got a result that satisfied himself and everyone in the team.

"Awesome! Qin Miao! Awesome! I knew it! I knew you could do it! At the same time that Qin Miao crossed the finish line, Frankie's voice was a little excited from the team TR.

After all, everyone knows the state of Mercedes this season, and this race championship can be regarded as a shot in the arm for everyone in the team.

It doesn't matter if the car is almost, as long as it is on the right track, Qin Miao can always use his ability to bring the championship to the team.

Hearing Franky's somewhat overly excited words, Qin Miao smiled and made a joke with him: "Huh, Leclerc's attack lasted a little too short, and I haven't finished it yet." ”

After hearing Qin Miao's words, the already jubilant atmosphere of the Meiben team became even more enthusiastic, and many people laughed directly.

There were also quite a few people who whistled directly in the P room of the convoy.

After all, it was the champion, so Qin Miao's communication with the team TR was also released.

Originally, in the studio, the three commentators of Five Star Sports, who were sincerely excited about Qin Miao's victory in this game, also laughed together after hearing Qin Miao's words.

"I have a good relationship with Leclerc, and I didn't forget to mention him after the game." Libao laughed.

Brother Bing also smiled and agreed: "That should indeed be mentioned, after all, after defending him for so long, Leclerc's pressure on Qin Miao should not be small." ”

"But I have to say, no matter how many times you watch it, you think Qin Miao's defense can be called art, and in this game, in addition to those two red flags, Qin Miao and Leclerc's offense and defense are worth watching." Phineas said.

Due to the restrictions of the track, the first three drivers all parked their cars on the track after the race.

So at this time, on the track, I saw two Ferraris defending one Mercedes.

Everyone knows that this picture cannot last long, and even once a season, Mercedes' car can only appear here, so many reporters frantically press the shutter on this picture.

ps. Dads, take a day off tomorrow (end of this chapter)
