On lap 60, the race resumed.

And Qin Miao had an 11-second time gap with Leclerc behind him at this time.

At this time, Leclerc and Verstappen were on medium tyres that had run four laps.

Next, they need to catch up with Qin Miao in the remaining 11 laps of the race and complete the overtaking of Qin Miao.

But what makes Ferrari and Red Bull feel pain is that Qin Miao's soft tire grip has not decreased significantly, and Leclerc and Verstappen can't catch up with Qin Miao on the lap that just came out of the pit lane!

Qin Miao's lap speed was even 0.3 seconds faster than Leclerc.

Not to mention the lap time that is not as fast as Leclerc's Verstappen.

Of course, it's really a matter of tire temperature.

Leclerc and Verstappen had just come out of the pits, and although both drivers tried their best to keep their tyres as warm as possible under the virtual safety car, the lap times of the cars in the virtual safety car phase were not fast enough, so their medium tyres did not reach the optimum operating temperature.

And Qin Miao's soft tires have always been at a suitable temperature, so after the virtual safety car, he can continue to accelerate and decelerate to use the thermal radiation of the brake disc to maintain the temperature of the tires.

And in this way, the tires will not be excessively consumed.

Therefore, when he started, Qin Miao's tires had a stronger grip than the two.

However, when the race came to the 63rd lap, Qin Miao basically had no speed advantage over the two behind him.

At this time, Leclerc can chase Qin Miao for 0.3 seconds per lap.

However, at this time, the time gap between the two was still 12 seconds, and Qin Miao did not have to worry about his position in a short time.

"Qin Miao, at present, the wear state of our soft tires is still expected, continue to maintain, we can finish the race before Leclerc catches up."

"Roger."

Every next lap, Frankie would tell Qin Miao in the team TR how much time gap was left between him and Leclerc.

In fact, Qin Miao still hoped that Verstappen in the rear could try to attack Leclerc, at least then the pressure on himself would be much less at this time.

But the Ferrari was fast in the race, and Verstappen couldn't pose much of a threat to Leclerc on the track.

The time gap between the two has remained at 2.7 seconds, and nothing has changed.

On lap 65, Qin Miao got a not-so-good news through the team TR.

"Qin Miao, there seems to be a problem with the accelerator pedal of Leclerc's car, the throttle of his car can't be returned, and the throttle output has been maintained at about 20% for a long time, we estimate that it should be Ferrari's car that has encountered a mechanical failure, and we will notify you as soon as there is anything else."

Qin Miao was stunned for a moment, Ferrari started to work again?

After coming to the straight, Qin Miao asked, "How is his speed?" ”

Frankie paused for a moment, then said: "The pace has slowed down, but not enough, from 0.9 seconds per lap to 0.7 seconds per lap, but don't worry, at this pace of pursuit, Leclerc won't be able to catch up with you until the end of the race." ”

"Roger, keep keeping an eye on me."

……

On lap 69, there were still two laps left before the end of the race, and Leclerc at this time had already come to the position 4 seconds behind Qin Miao, and the proximity rate between him and Qin Miao had come to 1.1 seconds per lap because of the continuous consumption of Qin Miao's soft tires.

After arriving here, the hearts of many fans of Qin Miao and Mei Ben finally let go.

"In the last two laps, there is still a time gap of 4 seconds between Qin Miao and Leclerc, it seems that ......, Qin Miao still has to continue to persevere! Those who travel a hundred miles are half ninety, and Qin Miao must resist the last breath. "Here in Five Star Sports, Brother Bing, who was originally going to congratulate Qin Miao in advance on winning another sub-station championship, braked urgently, and the tone of conversation changed.

Zhou Haoran and Brother Shrimp on the side also looked at each other and smiled after hearing it.

In the past, Five Star Sports didn't care if they would directly milk a driver to death.

After all, there were no drivers in the paddock at that time, and even different commentators liked different drivers, so what stood out was an unscrupulous.

But now with Qin Miao and Zhou Guanyu, the commentator has learned restraint when this kind of driver is facing a kick.

They were afraid that if something really happened.

In the last two laps, Qin Miao's lap time was still good.

The reason why Qin Miao has so much pressure now is because Leclerc's neutral tires are much newer than Qin Miao's.

In the last lap, Qin Miao's side actually wanted to release it with all his might, but the team still said in the team TR: "Don't act rashly, just run this last lap steadily at a normal speed, Leclerc can't catch up." ”

Qin Miao, who was somewhat anxious in her heart, also forcibly suppressed her inner emotions and ran the last lap steadily.

In the end, in the dance of the checkered flag, Qin Miao crossed the finish line first.

All the staff of Toto and the Mercedes team breathed a sigh of relief at this moment, and then naturally there was a group of celebrations.

The commentators of Five Star Sports could finally breathe a sigh of relief, and said excitedly while applauding: "Let's congratulate Qin Miao!" After half a season of sluggishness, the team finally returned to the position where the team should be, relying on Qin Miao's tire management ability to win the Austrian Grand Prix, and most importantly, this is Qin Miao's first two-game winning streak in the 2022 season. ”

"It's not easy, Qin Miao in this game is almost the whole game with Leclerc and Verstappen."

"But fortunately, it was Qin Miao's terrifying ability to protect the fetus that had the last laugh in this game."

"Congratulations to Qin Miao! Congratulations to Mercedes! ”

After this match, Qin Miao widened the points gap between herself and Verstappen and Leclerc.

Hamilton, on the other hand, was given a number of points that he was both familiar and unfamiliar with.

At the same time, Zhou Guanyu also got a good total points ranking because of his good performance in the main stage.

Of course, the worst is Russell, who has played a total of 11 Grand Prix so far, and due to the limitations of Williams's racing performance, he is always hovering at the door of the points zone, never getting a chance to go in and find out.

He is also the only driver this season who has not scored a point.

The Constructors' standings after this race are as follows:

1: Red Bull: 314

2: Mercedes: 305

10: Williams: 1

After the race, although the two drivers of Mercedes played well in today's race, in the overall championship of the team, Mercedes still did not surpass Red Bull, but the total points gap between the two teams is only 9 points.

On the other hand, because of Zhou Guanyu's brilliant performance in today's race, the total points of the Arrow team are already the same as McLaren, and if the next few races, Zhou Guanyu and Bottas can still show the performance at the beginning of the season.

Then Arrow Racing is expected to achieve the best result for the team in recent seasons, at least 5th in the Constructors' Championship.

And you must know that the total points gap between Alpine and Arrow at this time is only 13 points.

It is also worth mentioning that Zhou Guanyu has defeated his teammate Bottas in the qualifying and main stage in the last few games.

Sober's recent signal clearly praised Zhou Guanyu and expressed his willingness to give Zhou Guanyu a long-term contract.

After crossing the line, although Verstappen only finished third in today's race, the Austrian fans in attendance still set off the iconic orange smoke of the Red Bull Ring after crossing the line.

At least in any case, Verstappen finished on the podium in this race.

Of course, during the post-race parade, Qin Miao obviously felt that the cheers of the crowd were much smaller than when Verstappen won both home races last season, and even some places where there were not many local fans cheering.

"P1, Qin Miao, we are P1, this race is running as well as ever, congratulations to your child, enjoy everything that belongs to you." Among the team TRs, the first person to start communicating with Qin Miao was not Frankie, but Toto.

It can be seen that after the collapse of the season for the Mercedes team, the two consecutive wins in hand made Toto very happy for a while.

With the exception of Toto, everyone in the team was very excited, clapping their fists and high-fives in celebration.

"Last week's upgrade was remarkable, and the driving experience of the car has been greatly improved." Qin Miao also replied with a smile.

But to be honest, before the start of this race, Qin Miao didn't think that he could win the championship again, all he thought about was to enter the top three, mix a podium in his hands, and continue to refresh his resume of defeating his teammate Hamilton in the team.

This championship is also a windfall for Qin Miao.

Driving the car back to the maintenance area, Qin Miao parked his car in the C position.

After the car was parked, the broadcast camera of the on-site staff was fixed on Qin Miao's body.

Watch as he takes off the steering wheel of the racing car, then unfastens his headrest and climbs out of the racing car, standing on his racing flip-flops and holding his right hand aloft, making a one-to-one gesture.

At this moment, all the photographers and reporters on the scene used their camera tools to aim at the defending champion from China.

After standing on the flip-flops and celebrating for a while with his anti-heaven balance ability, Qin Miao jumped directly from the flip-flops, and then his back heel flew away Qin Miao did not reinstall the steering wheel on the car after taking it off.

"Hey, be careful." Brother Bing was taken aback when he saw this scene, for fear that Qin Miao would accidentally step on his steering wheel and fall when he jumped down.

Although Qin Miao's physical fitness of F1 drivers is better than most normal people, it is still the same sentence, the current Qin Miao is the tip of the hearts of domestic fans, and I really don't want him to have any accidents, and he can't compete in the race.

Qin Miao was also a little confused looking at the steering wheel that was stepped on by herself, and hurriedly ran over to pick it up.

The steering wheel of the F1 driver is actually very light, after all, except for the electronic components inside the steering wheel and the circuit board display, the rest of the steering wheel is made of carbon fiber, which is naturally not too heavy.

Of course, after being stepped on by Qin Miao, he rolled twice on the steering wheel and landed on the ground, leaving more or less scratches on it.

I picked it up and looked at it, except for some scratches, everything else was fine, saving at least $100,000 in steering wheel repair costs.

Qin Miao, who was relieved and had learned a long lesson, hurriedly turned around and went back to reinstall the steering wheel on the car.

Of course, a small accident and episode will not affect the celebration of Qin Miao and his team colleagues.

Even when Qin Miao rushed into the crowd, Frankie and the others laughed even louder.

hugged Reyes fiercely, and then Qin Miao greeted the staff of his car group one by one, and then arrived at Toto.

"Well done, but next time you have to pay attention to the fact that the steering wheel is not cheap." Toto said jokingly while slapping Qin Miao's back with a smile.

Qin Miao could only smile and spread his hands helplessly and said: "I will pay attention in the next game, or the team can invest more resources in the protection of the steering wheel, and strive to let me use the steering wheel as a dart to play." ”

"I'll think about it, and I'll make this proposal at the post-race meeting after I get back to team headquarters this week."

……

After joking with Toto for a while, Qin Miao was originally going to say hello to Le Lao Er, and then go to weigh in the post-game interview or something.

However, Qin Miao saw her mother on the edge of the crowd of the Meiben convoy.

When I first quit my job, my mother complained to herself and Qiu Meng that she was not used to this kind of life, and she was too idle every day.

But after getting used to it, my mother obviously began to enjoy it.

After spending a few months getting acquainted with the environment of a foreign country and practicing her spoken English to the point where she could communicate with people, she began to travel everywhere.

Of course, Qin Miao also knew that foreign countries were not as good as those at home, so she also hired a bodyguard, of course, it was a girl, I heard that it was the domestic armed police who retired from the army, and Qin Miao did not have this way to investigate.

However, Qin Miao had a hard time wrestling with the other party, although winning was winning, but it wasted a lot of Qin Miao's strength.

In the end, Qin Miao naturally agreed.

In short, at this point in time, my mother should be traveling, Qin Miao really didn't expect to see each other here.

PS. I've been a little busy lately, and I'm only 4K today, and I'll start to return to the normal rhythm of repayments tomorrow.
