By lap 22, Sainz had chosen to pit for tyres, as he was not as fast as Leclerc.

However, due to the same performance of the two cars, Leclerc was stuck 0.5 seconds behind Sainz.

If he continues to run like this, the time gap between Leclerc and Qin Miao may be shortened to the DRS zone before the first pit stop window.

But Sainz did well this week, and Ferrari didn't want to put too much pressure on Sainz.

I don't want to let him give up his position to Leclerc directly through the team's instructions.

So he called Sainz straight into the pits.

Sometimes Ferrari is so twisted that it is clear that Sainz can just give up his position, and it is very normal to hand over his position to a teammate who is faster than you.

Ferrari, however, chose a different path.

After switching to hard tyres in the pits, Sainz naturally settled into fourth.

At this time, there were still 30 laps left before the end of the race, and it was probably to get Sainz to finish with a set of tires.

On the 24th lap, Qin Miao had already chased to the DRS area behind Leclerc, but Leclerc did not defend Qin Miao.

Because at this time, Leclerc's soft tires have begun to fail rapidly, while the speed of the set of neutral tires on Qin Miao's racing tires is still very stable.

As a result, Leclerc directly opted for a pit stop for tyres.

Some people should be curious at this time, obviously Leclerc's side can block Qin Miao on the track and help Sainz create more time advantage.

Not much else, Leclerc should not be a big problem for Leclerc to help Sainz block Qin Miao for two seconds, right?

The big deal is that after Qin Miao surpassed Leclerc, Leclerc made a pit stop.

Hey, Ferrari just didn't do it, and just called Leclerc into the pit stop.

Because of this, Qin Miao ran and found out: Hey? Why did you suddenly come to the first place?

Looking in the rearview mirror, Hamilton's lap time was also steady, following him for 1.4 seconds.

There was no chance to attack, but there was no way to get him off of his own.

Qin Miao doesn't care about this, anyway, as time goes by, Hamilton's soft tires will definitely start to fail.

However, I have to say that after returning to this familiar position, Qin Miao still felt quite comfortable.

While running the race, Qin Miao also asked about the lap speed of Sainz and Leclerc after the pit stop in the team TR.

After changing to hard tyres, the Ferrari was not slower than Qin Miao, and the lap speed was basically the same as Qin Miao's.

Qin Miao was a little nervous, but she still regained her calm under the comfort of the convoy.

Anyway, the next Stint will switch to soft tyres, and his lap time will be at least 0.5 seconds faster than the two Ferraris on hard tyres.

And their tires will be newer than them, even if they are faster than themselves now, it doesn't matter, Silverstone's straight is so long, I can always find a chance to overtake it.

On lap 33, Hamilton, who had been thrown away by Qin Miao for 2.4 seconds, chose to make a pit stop.

Like Qin Miao, Hamilton also ran a 33-lap long-distance stint on a set of soft tyres, and the overall lap time was very good.

Although there were still 18 laps before the end of the race at this time, Hamilton did not have Qin Miao's courage to change to soft tires, and after entering, he changed to hard tires.

While Hamilton's hard tyres may not have much of an advantage over the two Ferraris in front of him, at least from now until the end of the race, Hamilton will have no more tyre anxiety and will only need to pay attention to the temperature of his tyres and start to run the long distance at full strength.

However, to the pain of Mercedes fans, Hamilton would have fallen 1.5 seconds behind Sainz after pitting, and Hamilton would be able to attack the two Ferraris in front of him when the temperature of his tires was raised.

But Hamilton's tyre changer gave him a bit of intensity when it came to changing tyres, and after a 4.6-second tyre change got Hamilton out, he fell 3.4 seconds behind Sainz.

With this time gap, Hamilton was essentially out of the podium at his home Grand Prix.

Unless the Mercedes team stumbled Qin Miao in order to get Hamilton on the podium at his home Grand Prix, and let him experience a half-minute tire change.

At the same time, Pérez, who had made a pit stop at the start of the race due to damage to his car, had already relied on a long stint to move up to sixth.

That is, behind Norris.

I have to say that Red Bull's racing car is still strong, and Pérez's ability to keep tires is also terrifying.

Of course, Pérez is only in a good position at the moment, and despite finishing in sixth, Norris in front of him is a full 20 seconds away from Hamilton in front of him.

If there is no safety car, Pérez, who has overtaken Norris, would have had to finish fifth.

Of course, Qin Miao at this time was also against the sky, because Qin Miao's speed was still about the same as the two Ferrari drivers behind him who used hard tires, and sometimes Qin Miao was even a little faster than the two of them.

It's hard to believe that Qin Miao is using a set of neutral tires that have run 33 laps.

On lap 37, Qin Miao's tires were also a little untenable, and the lap speed began to be about 0.2 seconds slower than the Ferrari behind him.

But the advantages accumulated in front are still there, so Qin Miao is not in a hurry to make a pit stop, but is ready to wait for Leclerc to come behind him after the pit stop and come out of the pit stop within two seconds before considering the problem of pit stops, and strive for a little more tire margin for his soft tires.

However, just when Qin Miao gritted his teeth and insisted, something suddenly happened on the track.

After overtaking Verstappen on lap 37, who had a malfunction in the car in front of him, Occon, who quickly led Verstappen for more than a second, suddenly lost power on lap 39.

Then he was overtaken all the way by Verstappen, Mick and Magnussen behind him.

And Ocon didn't slide into the pit lane by the inertia of the car, but stopped directly on the track.

The location of Aokang parking stands out from the front of the village, and there is no store behind it.

It's a long way from the Matthew entrance, so it's basically a location where you will definitely get out of the safety car.

That's definitely good news for Pérez, who is now fifth, with a 24-second gap to Hamilton in front of him, but not necessarily for Hamilton.

However, for Qin Miao, this news may not be bad.

He hasn't made a pit stop yet for this race, although the safety car now will nullify the time advantage between his previous struggles and the back of the race.

But at least it can be guaranteed that Qin Miao's leading position after the pit stop and tire change will not be lost.

Fortunately, when the yellow flag was given in the game, Qin Miao happened to be on the straight between T15 and T16, and after two more corners was the entrance to the pit area, which would not let him miss anything.

With 13 laps left before the end of the race, Occon's car was probably a bit of a problem to clear out of the track, and it would take two laps plus the lap when the safety car was withdrawn.

At the end of the safety car, there were 10 laps left before the end of the race.

In the team's test, Qin Miao ran normally, did not protect the tire, did not burn the tire, and was in a light oil state at the end of the race, Qin Miao's soft tire durability on the Silverstone track could run 14 laps

This was completely enough for Qin Miao.

And even though they didn't know so many details, the commentators of Five Star Sports were excited one by one after seeing the situation on the track in the studio.

"Safe car too! Qin Miao! Now it's time to pit for tire changes! The more Brother Bing talked, the more excited he became, and he almost stood up directly from his position.

After Brother Bing finished speaking, Qin Miao on the track naturally chose to pit stop.

"With my superficial understanding of Qin Miao, this pit stop should be changed to red tires." Fei Ge said with a smile on the side.

"The red tyres are definitely going to be changed to the red tyres, and the only question now is that the team just gave Hamilton a four-second tyre change, will there be any accidents this time." Zhou Haoran said.

And after Qin Miao stopped accurately at the position of changing the tire, the team did not give Qin Miao and the Meiben fans who were paying close attention to Qin Miao a whole job.

Brand new soft tyres with a change time of 2.4 seconds.

After changing, Qin Miao rushed out with one foot on the accelerator.

A puff of white smoke rose from the rear wheels.

After coming out, Qin Miao happened to follow behind the safety car.

However, what Qin Miao didn't understand was that Ferrari only called Sainz back to change tires in the pit stop window this time, and did not let Leclerc pit stop.

Qin Miao was full of question marks when she heard Frankie and herself report on the situation of Ferrari in the TR of the team.

What the hell are the Ferrari guys thinking? Why didn't Leclerc go in?

It's not about the loss of Sainz's place if there are two cars.

If Leclerc hadn't been pitted at this time, the latter part of the race would have been basically Leclerc's old hard tyres facing a bunch of riders on the new soft tyres.

The key is that this is a safety car, and the time gap between Leclerc after the start and Sainz behind him will not exceed 1 second.

And no matter how hard you can run, you can't outrun the new soft tires.

It is foreseeable that Leclerc, who is waiting for the meeting, will definitely be overtaken by those behind.

Normal teams have a clear view of the situation, even if Sainz, who is behind Leclerc, may drop a place behind Hamilton due to the two-car pit stop, but this is the driver's business.

The team has to think from the team's point of view about how to get as many points as possible for both drivers.

But if Leclerc doesn't pit, he may not be able to get fourth, after all, Qin Miao, Hamilton, Pérez, and Sainz are all using soft tires at this time.

At the worst, Sainz can also get a fourth, but with Leclerc's speed, after he puts on new tires, he can attack Qin Miao in front.

Although the speed of the Mercedes car in this race is good, the overall speed of the Mercedes car is definitely not as fast as that of Ferrari, and the reason why Qin Miao can appear in the first place is more dependent on Qin Miao's tire management.

In short, after knowing Ferrari's pit stop strategy, Qin Miao's mind was full of doubts.

But that's okay, it's not surprising that Ferrari always makes some noise.

Corporate culture.

Eventually, the safety car was brought to lap 42, which means that from lap 43 onwards, the safety car was withdrawn and the race resumed.

There were only 10 laps left until the end of the race.

Qin Miao's tire margin was enough for him to accelerate the whole process.

"Okay, the game is about to restart, and I don't know how many times I have lamented Qin Miao's talent for tire management.

At the same time, I think we can also congratulate Qin Miao in advance on winning his second sub-race championship of the season at the home of the Mercedes Racing Team! Zhou Haoran's side directly acquiesced that Qin Miao won the championship of the sub-station competition in this game.

But after hearing Zhou Haoran's words, Brother Bing and Brother Fei hurriedly stopped: "Hey, Haoran, don't talk nonsense, the game is not over yet, everything is possible, and the current Qin Miao is just a little more likely to win the championship." ”

Although the three commentators of Five Star Sports are not willing to admit it, they do not believe that there is such a thing as metaphysics.

But there is a saying in China that cares is chaotic.

Looking forward to Qin Miao's good performance on the field, and even to put it bluntly, they hope that Qin Miao can lead the Meiben team to rejuvenation.

However, at this critical moment, they also play the characteristics of the Chinese, no matter what fairy monster you are useless or not, worship first.

What if it helps?

After the game restarted, Qin Miao basically didn't feel any pressure.

But the four riders behind him weren't so honest.

Hamilton's side didn't have the heart to try to chase Sainz in front of him after the game resumed, and all eyes were on Pérez behind him.

Sainz, on the other hand, also made a move on his teammate Leclerc, who was on old hard tyres in front of him.

When the race came to the 44th lap, Qin Miao set a new record for the fastest lap in the field.

And the driver in the rear changed from Leclerc to Sainz.

Pérez also managed to capitalize on Han Miaton's mistakes and overtake his opponent.

At the rear, the time gap between Pérez and third-placed Leclerc reached 1.4 seconds.

The reason why they were pulled away for so long after a lap was mainly because Hamilton and Pérez had a grappling fight, and the overall speed of the two lost a bit of a lot.

Sainz overtook Leclerc and threw Leclerc 1.5 seconds away in the second half lap, and the start was not too fast, but steadily shortened the time gap between himself and Qin Miao.

In the follow-up game, Qin Miao was mainly defending Sainz behind him.

Although it was not easy to defend Sainz, Qin Miao still never let Sainz take the lead next to his car.

And Leclerc in the back soon fell into the scuffle between Hamilton and Pérez in the rear because of the tires.

When Pérez and Leclerc were attacking and defending, they contributed to the famous scene of Hamilton Sandpiper and Clam competing for profit.

After overtaking the two, Hamilton eventually retained his podium.

Pérez, on the other hand, failed to find another chance to overtake after Hamilton raised his guard.

Leclerc in the back was gradually pulled away by Hamilton and Pérez because of tire problems.

In the end, Qin Miao won the championship for the second time this season, and waited for a safety car with an extra-long stint, and after this race, Qin Miao's ranking in the drivers' standings also came to the first.

The second is Sainz, who tried to attack Qin Miao for eight laps.

The third is Hamilton, who stabilized his position after picking up the bargain.

The final driver standings and points for this race are as follows:

P1: Qin Miao +26 (fastest lap)

P2: Sainz +18

P3: Hamilton +14

P4: Pérez +12

P5: Leclerc +10

P6: Norris +8

P7: Zhou Guanyu +6

P8: Verstappen +4

P9: Mick +2

P10: Vettel +1

After Leclerc was stabbed from behind by the team, he didn't even hold on to fourth place, which he is most familiar with.

Not a single tragic word is enough to describe his bad luck. (End of chapter)
