Qin Miao believes that Leclerc, who has been in Ferrari for so long, is probably used to this feeling.

After all, Ferrari will operate against the sky a few times a season, and most of the time the victim is Leclerc.

It's as if the strategy group tire changers don't work all the time, and the game won't run.

Zhou Guanyu's performance in this race was also very good, because of his familiarity with the Silverstone track, coupled with the good performance of the car and his outstanding long-distance speed.

Zhou Guanyu finished seventh in this race.

Of course, what makes domestic fans the happiest is that Qin Miao in this race once again stood on the highest podium since Monaco.

……

"Let's congratulate Qin Miao again!" On the side of Five Star Sports, the three commentators who stayed up late to explain the game suddenly felt that their night was not in vain.

"It seems that the upgrade of Mercedes at home has been very effective, and the speed of the car has been fundamentally improved." Fei Ge said with a smile.

However, Brother Bing obviously has a different opinion: "In fact, in addition to the performance improvement brought by the upgrade of the Mercedes racing car, this race also relies more on Qin Miao's personal ability and the safety car.

If there is no safety car, although Qin Miao's podium position is guaranteed, it is really not so easy for Qin Miao to get the first place. ”

"That's true, Qin Miao's long-distance running in this race is really good, and once again showed the durability of hard tires with yellow tires." Zhou Haoran also praised Qin Miao with a smile.

On the field, after Qin Miao crossed the line, everyone in the Meiben team and all the team staff who hung on the parapet wall to celebrate Qin Miao cheered.

Toto, who sat in the team's P room and watched the race, smiled like a chrysanthemum, and in a season when everything was not going well, it was not a small surprise for Toto to be able to win the championship at home.

After crossing the line, Qin Miao let out a sigh of relief, and his heartbeat, which had been maintained at 140 beats per minute, began to slow down.

Franky's excited voice soon came from the TR of the team: "P1! Qin Miao: We are P1! Well done, nice run. ”

In fact, before the start of this game, Qin Miao didn't think that he could get this position in this game, and even when Qin Miao and Qiu Meng called, they said that they were trying to get the podium and go home with the trophy.

Qin Miao was also very happy about this unexpected joy: "Hahaha, everyone did a great job, the most important thing is that the upgrade brought by the team this time is very successful, and driving it is finally no longer like driving a car with your own ideas." ”

For Qin Miao's joke, Frankie and Toto just laughed at it, but Elliott, who was sitting in the factory of the Mercedes team and observing the data remotely, touched his chin and leaned on the seat with his hands on his chest, as if thinking about something.

After all, the W13 was the first race car he had designed since his promotion.

To be honest, he was really reluctant to use the concept of zero side boxes in one season to be thrown away.

After all, he studied the design concept of this car for a long time with many team staff, and it was really early and late at that time.

Originally, because of the poor performance of this season, and several team meetings in the middle of the season, he was already a little tempted to abandon the design, but the performance of the two Mercedes drivers on the track in this race made Elliott suddenly feel that the design concept of the W13 was not undesirable.

It's just that the pits left by the car when I designed the base plate myself were a little too big.

Is it possible to retain the concept of zero side box and redesign a base plate to solve all the problems found so far?

Such a thought inevitably crossed Elliott's mind.

However, the week after the British Grand Prix was the Austrian Grand Prix, Red Bull's home stadium, and the team was not crowded and there was no chance to meet.

It is estimated that the matter will not be brought up until after the Austrian Grand Prix.

But before that, I can talk to the team's two drivers and see what they think, after all, they are the key players in driving the car around the track.

Now, of course......

Looking at the team staff who had jumped up and hugged each other in celebration, in addition to the staff who had to keep an eye on the car stats, Elliott also had a smile on his face.

It's time to celebrate......

on the field.

Qin Miao and Hamilton paraded around the field together in two cars.

Qin Miao, the champion of the sub-station, also came to Hamilton's side and rubbed the cheers of the British audience at the scene.

Hamilton didn't mind, and the pair walked around the track side by side, enjoying the cheers of more than 140,000 spectators before slowly returning to the pit lane under the podium.

After parking the car under the podium at the pit entrance, the two Mercedes sandwiched a Ferrari in the middle.

The post-race car position for this race was not 213, but 123.

But it doesn't affect it.

After parking the car, Qin Miao got out of the car, and then stood on his racing car and waved to the audience.

After Qin Miao finished celebrating and got out of the car, Hamilton also walked over.

The two hugged each other.

"Well done, I was really under a lot of pressure when I attacked me, and I almost missed a couple of times." Hamilton smiled and said, "How? My defense against you is decent in the eyes of your master defender, right? ”

Qin Miao wanted to touch her nose, but because the helmet was still buckled on her brain, Qin Miao took the opportunity to convert her movements into the goggles that lifted the helmet.

But there is one thing to say, Hamilton's words, Qin Miao really doesn't know how to take them.

If you want to say that Hamilton's defense is very good, and he is sweating profusely, then Qin Miao's conscience is not happy, after all, Hamilton's defense of himself can only be said to be decent.

Qin Miao basically didn't feel too much pressure, but at this time, if she told the truth, it was easy to hurt people.

So after thinking about it, and considering his relationship with Hamilton at this time, Qin Miao said in a joking tone: "Hmm...... After the game, you can come to my lounge and I can teach you some tricks. ”

"fuck up......" Hamilton pushed Qin Miao angrily.

Then the two drivers of Mercedes smiled at each other and naturally took over the topic.

Then the two Meiben drivers naturally came to the crowd of Meiben team staff who had already come to Wuyang.

Qin Miao also came to a standard high jump backward posture and threw herself into the crowd.

After celebrating fiercely amid the laughter of her colleagues, Qin Miao came out of the crowd.

Then I said hello to Sainz, who was second, went to weigh himself, unloaded his equipment, took a break with saliva, sorted out his grooming and went to the post-game interview.

Qin Miao took a little more time to celebrate, so by the time Qin Miao came, Sainz, who was second, had already finished his post-race interview, and Hamilton walked up to the host for an interview amid the tsunami-like cheers of British fans at the scene.

After two questions, Hamilton ended his interview amid cheers, and it was Qin Miao's turn.

When Qin Miao came to the camera, the scene also broke out in fierce cheers.

Although many Hamilton fans were still a little dissatisfied with Qin Miao because Qin Miao had pressed Hamilton in the Meiben team at this time.

But the easing of the relationship between Hamilton and Qin Miao is also a well-known thing, and for the strong and the champions of the sub-competition, these people also know that they should maintain the most basic respect.

Because of this, Qin Miao was able to enjoy cheering, but her voice was obviously not as loud as Hamilton's.

However, Qin Miao didn't care much about this.

"Congratulations, Qin Miao, a great performance, a weighty race win, and after this race, you are leading the drivers' standings again as you did last season."

"Thank you, in fact, the most important thing is to thank the fans of the team, without their encouragement and support, the team would not have been able to develop such a perfect car." Hamilton more or less learned some knowledge about defense from Qin Miao, and in terms of the post-game interview, Qin Miao also learned Hamilton.

The two can only be said to promote each other's progress.

"Then it's all the staff of the team, and this race win is not just mine, it's theirs, and it's been a great upgrade this week."

Qin Miao's answer avoided the important and trivial, and Qin Miao did not mention the topic of the drivers' standings directly.

Mainly because it is not necessary to bring up this topic at this time.

Fans don't know that Qin Miao, a driver, knows Meiben's plans for this season.

This position may only last a few days, but with Red Bull's home game next week, Verstappen will certainly be able to regain the drivers' championship lead.

Isn't talking about this topic now to imply to the fans of the Mercedes team that it is possible for the Mercedes team to return to the top of the team this season?

Impossible thing, Qin Miao didn't want to give fans hope, and then ruined this hope.

So let's not talk about it directly.

The questions in the last two interviews are more decent, talk about the qualifying situation, and talk about the team's planning for the next step.

I won't go into too much detail about the award ceremony after the game, Qin Miao has long been familiar with the road.

However, when Qin Miao got off the stage soaking wet, he saw a spectator on the track happily holding a white DRS sign on the track to show off.

The corners of her mouth twitched looking at this scene, Qin Miao couldn't help but sigh in her heart: "This is the birthplace of racing culture." ”

The folk customs are really TM and simple.

……

At the same time, the director also gave the unlucky guy of this race, Leclerc, who was supposed to win the sub-race, a picture.

It's just that this screen looks a bit like a replay.

At this time, Leclerc's hair was still wet and he was carrying a helmet in his hand.

Binotto grabbed Leclerc as if to say something to him.

Then, as if to emphasize his tone, Binotto pointed his finger at Leclerc and said something.

It's just that at this time, Leclerc's face was full of exhaustion and boredom, and he responded to Binotto very perfunctorily.

The overall drivers' standings after this race are as follows:

1: Qin Miao.154

2: Verstappen.134

3: Leclerc.131

4: Pérez.119

5: Sainz.88

6: Hamilton.65

7: Norris.50

8: Ocon.39

9: Bottas.38

10: Magnussen.16

11: Alonso.15

12: Gasly.15

13: Vettel.14

14: Ricardo.12

15: Zhou Guanyu.12

16: Tsunoda.9

17: Mick.2

18: Albon.1

19: Stroll.1

The constructors' standings are as follows:

1: Red Bull: 278

2: Mercedes: 262

3: Ferrari: 243

4：Alpine：66

5: McLaren: 62

6: Alfa Romeo: 58

7: Little Red Bull: 24

8: Haas: 18

9: Aston Martin: 16

10: Williams: 1

By the end of the race, Qin Miao was already ahead in the overall drivers' standings and 20 points ahead of second-placed Verstappen.

Of course, for domestic fans, today's British Grand Prix is simply a joy and joy.

Because in addition to Qin Miao, who took the lead in the drivers' standings after today's race, Zhou Guanyu, who finished seventh, also rose one place in the standings this race, came to fifteenth and pressed Tsunoda.

In the bones of the Chinese, you can lose competitive sports, but in the case of a small day, you have to press them anyway.

Of course, except for the national football team, which is a puddle of filth.

In addition, in terms of the constructors' standings, because of the outstanding performance of the Mercedes team, the points gap between Mercedes and Red Bull after this race is only 16 points.

After the post-race interview was completed, Qin Miao returned to the team lounge, but Qin Miao sorted out her things in the lounge, and after returning home from work, Hamilton did not come to look for her.

Even after Qin Miao came out of the lounge, there was no one in Hamilton's lounge.

Qin Miao didn't care either, and left the paddock in his AMG GT after leaving the paddock.

After returning home, Qiu Meng also prepared dinner at home, and Qin Miao gave him a big hug as soon as he came back.

After the two who hadn't seen each other for a long time got together and complained to each other, Qin Miao went to take a shower, and then turned on her mobile phone while eating dinner.

After the mobile phone is turned on, the communication software and mobile phone text messages are filled with various greetings and congratulatory text messages.

Qin Miao is also used to this, and even annoyed these text messages when she won the championship last season.

It's too much after all.

But this season, after the team's racing performance failed, Qin Miao suddenly felt that it was quite happy that someone congratulated him in this way after the race was over.

However, Qin Miao couldn't have so much time to reply one by one.

So after replying to those who had a good relationship with him with voice, Qin Miao threw the phone to Qiu Meng.

There was no surprise to this girl, after Qin Miao went to wash the dishes after eating, she took Qin Miao's mobile phone and replied to the blessings of her friends one by one.

However, after simply sleeping at home, Qin Miao didn't even have time to rest the next day, and began to get busy.

After all, the British Grand Prix is the home of Mercedes, and this race is also highly anticipated.

So there were a lot of Mercedes team executives, company executives, and even Daimler's senior management coming to this race.

Facing the bosses who paid their salaries, Qin Miao and Hamilton naturally needed to go out to eat with them and participate in various activities.

Normally, if they didn't get good grades, or if the grades were just okay, then Qin Miao and Hamilton wouldn't be so busy.

But the key is that the Mercedes team brought back one or three in this race, and in the drivers' standings, Qin Miao also overtook Verstappen.

This has to be celebrated, although there is a suspicion of champagne at half-time, but at least the team's top management still has an explanation on the side of the parent company's top management, right?

Because of this, Qin Miao and Hamilton did not have a day of rest after the game.

In the two days of Monday and Tuesday, Qin Miao and Hamilton were not idle, they were busy at various activities.

Qin Miao's life lasted until Wednesday.

In fact, there was still a dinner tonight, and it was even attended by local British government officials.

But Qin Miao directly said that he felt that there was still a lot of room for research on the Red Bull Ring Track, and he heard that it had cooled down there, and he was going to go over a day in advance to adapt to the local environment.

Then Qin Miao took the plane and left.

The team could only twitch the corners of their mouths and did not have any way, of course, there were also people who were more inclined to look at the weather, and then they were a little confused to find that the high temperature has continued in Spielburg, Austria in recent days.

But there is no way on the convoy side, Qin Miao's people are gone, and he can't fly to Austria to tie Qin Miao back, right?

Moreover, Qin Miao's contract did not contain a clause to let him fulfill these obligations, and the team had no way to use the contract to talk to Qin Miao.

Even if you take a step back, Qin Miao's contract has such a clause.

He didn't want to participate in such an event, and the team couldn't do anything about him.

After all, the prince of Meiben is at least the guarantee of the competitiveness of the drivers of the Meiben team in the next five years, and the team does not dare to fight Qin Miao in these small things.

It was only the team that went to these people to apologize.

After Qin Miao arrived in Austria, it was naturally impossible for him to really go to the track, because of the system, he didn't know much about the track, which was just an excuse.

However, Qin Miao didn't dare to go out for a walk after arriving at the hotel.

After all, this is the home of the Red Bull Racing Team, and with Qin Miao's identity, it is really not a wise move to go out at this time.

And the degree of security in foreign countries mainly depends on your eight characters, if your eight characters are hard enough, then the public security will not be bad, and vice versa.

So on this day, in addition to exercising in the hotel gym, Qin Miao spent most of her time playing games in the hotel.

After a cool day, Qin Miao also knew that she had to return to the normal rhythm of the game.

From Thursday onwards, the daily routine and everything else returned to normal game status.

The Red Bull Ring at the Austrian Grand Prix is a high-speed track that all drivers enjoy, and Qin Miao is no exception.

It's basically the track with the most full-throttle sections of the entire season.

However, on a track dominated by high-speed corners, Mercedes is clearly not as competitive as Red Bull.

And in their own home games, Red Bull's side also brought upgrades.

In contrast, Mercedes did not bring any upgrades to the car this week.

At the same time, the difficulty of overtaking on the Red Bull Ring track is not too high, and the only thing the team can count on now is that Qin Miao in this race can play bravely.

I don't expect Qin Miao to win the championship in this game, as long as he can enter the top three, it will be considered a victory.

As for Hamilton......

The team didn't give Hamilton any tasks for this race, and the team knew that this season's car was not for Hamilton, so their expectation was to finish in the top five.

After Thursday's work came to an end.

Qin Miao originally wanted to go back to the hotel for dinner.

But just as he was about to pack up his things and leave the paddock, Hamilton found Qin Miao.

Looking at Hamilton, who knocked on the door and pushed open the door of his lounge, Qin Miao, who was carrying a backpack and preparing to leave the paddock, said with some surprise: "You haven't left yet?" ”

Hamilton smiled and said, "It's not a rush now, by the way, I have something to do with you, is it convenient for you now?" ”

Qin Miao thought about it for a while, the dinner service in the hotel lasted until 9 o'clock in the evening, and now there was enough time, so he nodded and said, "There is time." ”

"You didn't really come to me to learn defensive skills, did you?"

Hamilton rolled his eyes angrily: "Of course not, it's something else." ”

In fact, if you are honest, Hamilton is still somewhat envious of Qin Miao's defensive ability, and he also thinks that the current Qin Miao is the driver with the strongest defensive ability and tire protection ability in the entire paddock, and there is no one.

But thinking about it a little, Hamilton is a seven-time world champion no matter what he says, so it is naturally impossible to pull down his face and come to Qin Miao to humbly ask for something.

Where is the old face of the Seven Crowns that has been passed out?

"Let's go, let's go talk together, and have dinner by the way."

Qin Miao nodded: "Okay." ”

After responding, Qin Miao suddenly remembered that he was still carrying a bag, and then Qin Miao asked, "Are you coming back?" Should I leave my bag here? ”

"It's not far, it's in the paddock, just put the bag in the lounge, no one will take you."

Then Qin Miao and Hamilton found a restaurant in the paddock that was already open for business, but because the paddock was not open yet, there was no one at present.

In fact, after the waiter of this restaurant saw someone coming in, he wanted to persuade the two people who came in to leave, after all, strictly speaking, they have not opened yet.

However, after seeing that the people who came in were the two F1 drivers of Mei Ben, he immediately walked up with a smile.

After some communication, they ordered something to eat, and Qin Miao and Hamilton found an inconspicuous place to sit down and chat.

"How did you feel about the car at the British Grand Prix?" Hamilton was the first to pick up the conversation.

"It's not bad, the overall balance of the car is the strongest this season, but the overall drag is still a bit too big." Qin Miao replied after thinking about it.

"What about before and after the upgrade?"

"It's like two cars." Qin Miao told the truth.

"I think that way, too." Hamilton snapped his fingers: "Therefore, I feel that the design concept of the W13 still has merit, and this upgrade is the best proof of this." ”
