Of course, this is not the most unfortunate thing that Qin Miao encountered in today's game.

Hamilton pitted and had a tyre change time of 3.1 seconds.

It's a bit slow, but it's acceptable, but after Qin Miao made a pit stop, the tire changer changed Qin Miao for 5.2 seconds.

Qin Miao, who was sitting in the racing car, was stupid after seeing this scene.

But he held back, after all, even if he wanted to curse something, he couldn't hear the tire changer now.

The two tire changes more or less made the tire changers of the Meiben team a little hurried, so when Qin Miao was changing the tire, the team staff responsible for changing the right rear wheel of Qin Miao did not insert Qin Miao's tires steadily, and the bolts were not locked at the first time.

Take it out a second time and reinsert it before locking the bolt.

This made Qin Miao, who was not in a good position, directly cut by Perez in the pit area.

Looking at Pérez, who had changed into hard tires and left early, Qin Miao finally couldn't help but spit fragrant in his helmet.

It is difficult for anyone to be calm in the face of such a situation, and Qin Miao just scolded a few words in the helmet to vent, and did not open the convoy TR.

Moreover, there are always some risks to be taken when two cars enter the station, and Qin Miao can only helplessly express his understanding of this.

And this is not all Qin Miao today, after finally changing the tires and putting Qin Miao down, both Qin Miao and the staff in charge of releasing the car must hope that Qin Miao can leave the maintenance area as soon as possible.

So when he released the car, he didn't pay attention to the car coming from the rear at all, and when Qin Miao was released, he directly forced Zhou Guanyu, who was about to enter the pit stop to change tires.

Zhou Guanyu was happy to enter the pit stop, but when he ran to the door of the P room of the Meiben team, suddenly a Meiben came out in front of him, and he directly blocked his way.

Zhou Guanyu subconsciously stepped on the brakes for the first time, and then waited for Qin Miao to drive into the pit lane before crossing the line and accelerating.

But in this process, Zhou Guanyu was just about to scold, but after discovering that the person in front of him was Qin Miao, he forcibly held back.

It's just a little unhappy to complain in the team TR: "How did Mei Ben release people in this race?" ”

Qin Miao's release has already involved danger, and if Luo appeals, Qin Miao will be given at least a five-second penalty on his back.

Of course, the FIA has not yet given a final penalty notice.

When Qin Miao came out of the maintenance area, he returned to the fifth place he was familiar with.

Not only did Pérez cut Qin Miao in the pit lane, but even Alonso behind him rose a position because of this.

It is undeniable that Qin Miao in this game is indeed very unlucky, but compared with his friend Leclerc, Qin Miao's bad luck is actually quite good, at least he did not withdraw directly because of that mysterious luck.

After the drivers of the other teams had made a pit stop to change their tires, the live director gave a replay of Leclerc's accident.

The place where Leclerc had an accident was T11, a 180° turn.

During the replay, Leclerc's car showed obvious head-pushing symptoms as it entered T11.

And before entering T12, the right turn was too wide, and the grip of the rear wheel of the car was lost, first at the rear of the car, then over the entire car, then on the track, and finally into the tire wall at the entrance of Matthew.

The Ferrari and Mercedes fans in the stands showed two very different states.

One was smiling and almost couldn't control his expression, and the other was full of helplessness, taking off his Ferrari hat and pounding the wall in front of him.

It didn't take long for the tournament to also give the TR of the team after Leclerc's crash.

"Are you okay?"

Originally, he should report his physical condition to the team as soon as he had an accident, so that the other party could start dealing with the car accident with confidence, but Leclerc at the scene replied in a very angry tone: "I have encountered a problem like Austria again!! ”

In the last few laps of the Austrian Grand Prix, Leclerc's car could not retract its throttle, and even if the accelerator pedal had been released, the car would have maintained about 20% of the throttle output.

From Leclerc's words, it is not difficult to hear that Leclerc in this game encountered the same problems as in the previous game.

The difference is that the Red Bull Ring is a high-speed track, with no heavy braking zones except for T1 and T3, and most of the corners are medium-to-high-speed corners.

But Paul Ricard was different, there were too many low-speed corners, and in such a situation Leclerc couldn't hold on to the track despite the car problems as he did in the last race.

And with Leclerc's explanation, it makes sense that all this happened.

After all, Leclerc is an experienced F1 driver, and with no other drivers behind him in the process, there is no reason for Leclerc to make such a low-level mistake in such a situation.

And it turns out that the failure of the car really has nothing to do with Leclerc himself.

Then the Ferrari team TR reverberated with Leclerc's heavy gasps.

I don't know if it was because the long-term high-intensity race made Leclerc a little out of breath, or whether Leclerc was angry at this time by the unsolved problem of Ferrari's broken car, or both.

However, the team TR was not over at this time, and soon the voice of Leclerc engineer sounded in the team TR again: "Now there is no such problem, the output of the throttle is zero." ”

Leclerc: ......

The engine of the car is stalled! There must be no such problem! If he still keeps the fuel output, I'm going to abandon the car! What use do you want!

After hearing this, Leclerc's panting voice became heavier and heavier, and finally let out a heart-rending roar directly in the team TR: "NO!!!!! ”

……

Afterwards, Leclerc returned to Team P on Matthew's scooter while the race continued on the track.

During the Yellow Flag, the results of the game's punishment for Qin Miao also came out.

Qin Miao was fined five seconds for an unsafe release in the pit area.

This made Qin Miao a little uncomfortable, the only good news was that this was only a time penalty, and it did not allow Qin Miao to enter the maintenance area to be punished.

It was directly added to Qin Miao's final score.

On the track, at this time, Verstappen was first, Hamilton was second, Pérez was third, Alonso was fourth, and Qin Miao was fifth.

Eventually, on lap 20, the race resumed.

At this time, there are still 33 laps before the end of the race, and most of the drivers are on hard tyres, so Qin Miao now knows that he can't compete for the championship in this race, and now it depends on whether he can kill Alonso in front of him and then kill Pérez or Hamilton to get a podium.

On the field, although Alonso was very serious about Qin Miao's defense that came behind him.

However, the performance gap between the two drivers was a little too big, and on the first lap after the restart of the race, that is, on the 21st lap, Qin Miao sucked Alonso's wake and completed the overtaking of Alonso before T1.

Alonso actually wanted to see the quality of Qin Miao, a young man, but the gap in the car directly ignored the role of the driver.

After overtaking Alonso, Qin Miao began to pursue Pérez in front of him.

In the first few laps, Qin Miao really didn't have much of a close rate to Perez in front of him.

There are even times when a lap is pulled away by Pérez by about 0.1 seconds.

So during this time, Qin Miao has been following 2.7 seconds behind Perez.

Strictly calculated, Qin Miao's average lap speed at this time was about the same as Perez's.

And Pérez can't get close to Hamilton in front of him now, but Verstappen has been steadily closing the time gap with Hamilton behind him.

Finally, on lap 30, Qin Miao's speed began to increase significantly.

From basically the same lap speed as Pérez per lap, it has now become Qin Miao's lap start is about 0.1 seconds faster than Pérez, and it is a stable 0.1 second faster.

On lap 35, Qin Miao entered the DRS area behind Pérez.

Perez knew that today's temperature was very high, and the track temperature was ridiculously high, so he knew that he only needed to defend Qin Miao for 3 laps in this game without being overtaken by Qin Miao, and the high temperature could directly destroy Qin Miao's tires.

When the time comes, you can directly hand over Qin Miao behind him to Sainz, who has already come to fifth, and get a podium comfortably while happily doing lap times.

It's just that Pérez's idea is very good, but in fact, Qin Miao's side launched this attack after saving 100% of the battery power.

In addition, Qin Miao's hard tires are now in better condition than Perez, who has always been protecting the tires, so Qin Miao didn't have much effort when he surpassed Perez.

After the T6 on lap 36 came out of the corner, Qin Miao began to release the power of the car at full power, coupled with the wake and DRS provided by Pérez, Qin Miao grabbed the inside line in T8, and finally completed the overtaking of Pérez very easily.

After surpassing Pérez, Qin Miao still needed to cool down his car.

But Qin Miao was not only ready to cool down his car, because he still had a 5-second penalty on his back at this time.

Qin Miao knew that his speed was faster than Perez now, but what if Perez's speed came up again in the later stage?

So in order to avoid being stolen by Pérez behind him, Qin Miao used some small means.

Qin Miao kept her position in front of Pérez about 0.7 seconds ahead of her lap speed when her lap time was 0.3 seconds faster than Pérez.

And all the time he blows the hot air from his racing tail nozzle on the Sainz tires and the side box air intakes.

Qin Miao's idea is similar to Pérez's, using the high temperature of the track to consume Pérez's tires.

After all, on this track, it's very difficult to get the tires down when the temperature goes up.

By the time Pérez's tires were bothered by the heat, he could have easily shaken off Pérez's five-second time gap.

However, it is also because of the 5-second penalty on Qin Miao's body, although Qin Miao's lap speed is now faster than Hamilton, and the time gap between him and Hamilton is only 3 seconds, Qin Miao has no idea about Hamilton's position, and now he just wants to kill Perez behind him.

On lap 39, Pérez was overtaken by Sainz behind him.

As for the reason...... The tires are overheated and exhausted.

At the same time, after Pérez was overtaken by Sainz, Qin Miao's side also began to accelerate again.

Moreover, Qin Miao was not at all worried that Sainz behind him would pose a threat to his position at this time.

Mainly because Sainz is using neutral tires at this time, he is not Qin Miao, although it is not impossible for Sainz to insist on running the next race with this set of neutral tires, but in the later stages of the game, Sainz's speed will definitely drop significantly.

If you want to avoid this, you can only pit and change tires.

In either case, Sainz posed no threat to Qin Miao's position at this time.

Sure enough, on lap 43, Sainz pitted for another set of medium tyres, and after coming out of the pits, Sainz fell behind Ocon.

Now Sainz's only advantage is his new set of medium tyres.

Ferrari's side is probably expecting Sainz to have Qin Miao's terrifying offensive ability, and then let the other party rely on this ability to rise more rankings.

Of course, no matter how much he chased Alonso and Pérez in front of him, there was a time gap of 25 seconds, and there were only 10 laps left before the end of the race, no matter how strong Ferrari's car performance was, and no matter how bad Sainz's medium tyre grip was, he couldn't chase the driver in front of him for 2.5 seconds in one lap, not to mention that there were other drivers in front of him.

So ever since Scuderia Ferrari pitted Sainz, his position was already doomed to fifth.

In fact, with the current rate of depletion of Sainz's tires, he can only finish fifth if he does not make a pit stop.

Before the end of the race, there was also a hiccup on the track, with Zhou Guanyu, who was in tenth place, suffering a mechanical problem with his car on lap 49.

With 4 laps left to finish, he had no choice but to retire at the entrance of Matthew.

Zhou Guanyu in this game can actually score points steadily, but in the end, he got such a surprise result for Zhou Guanyu's fans.

Of course, Zhou Guanyu in the car said that he was emotionally stable.

After all, it's not once or twice this season that he's been confronted with something like this.

Of course, there are some things that make Zhou Guanyu feel comforted, that is, he is not the only one who is unlucky in today's game.

In addition to him, Leclerc Qin Miao and the two were unlucky.

Qin Miao's side was because he had a 5-second penalty on his back, and he could have won the second place in order to prevent Perez behind him from getting close to him within 5 seconds, so he directly destroyed Perez's tires with high-temperature exhaust fumes in front of Perez.

Because of this, Qin Miao missed the best time to attack his teammate Hamilton.

By the time Qin Miao freed his hand, even if he surpassed his teammate Hamilton, Hamilton was confident that he would finish the race with the time gap between himself and Qin Miao within 5 seconds.

So after realizing this, Qin Miao simply didn't attack his teammates, but honestly finished the game behind Hamilton.

Leclerc is much worse than Zhou Guanyu, and retired in the case of direct leadership, compared to Zhou Guanyu losing a little point, it is really nothing.

In the end, Verstappen led the race after Leclerc retired and eventually won the championship, while the two Mercedes drivers brought home two or three.

The scores of the other drivers and their rankings are as follows:

P1: Verstappen +25

P2: Hamilton +18

P3: Qin Miao +14

P4: Pérez +12

P5: Sainz +11 (fastest lap)

P6: Alonso +8

P7: Norris +6

P8: Ocon +4

P9: Ricciardo +2

P10: Stroll +1

Sainz's fastest lap of the race was not much to go into detail, as no one but him pitted for new tyres late in the race.

Getting the fastest lap late in the race with a new set of medium tyres was pretty much a no-brainer.

At the same time, Stroll really needs to give the mechanic of the Arrow team a knock in this game, and without the assist of the broken car of the Arrow team, it is estimated that he will have to be the goalkeeper of the points area for a game.

Meanwhile, after this race, the overall drivers' standings are as follows:

1: Qin Miao.199

2: Verstappen.181

3: Leclerc.156

4: Perez.150

5: Sainz.105

6: Hamilton.95

7: Norris.58

8: Ocon.54

9: Bottas.38

10: Alonso.23

11: Magnussen.19

12: Zhou Guanyu.19

13: Gasly.15

14: Vettel.14

15: Ricardo.14

16: Tsunoda.9

17: Mick.6

18: Stroll.2

19: Albon.1

The constructors' standings are as follows:

1: Red Bull: 351

2: Mercedes: 337

3: Ferrari: 284

4：Alpine：89

5: McLaren: 72

6: Alfa Romeo: 64

7: Haas: 25

8: Little Red Bull: 24

9: Aston Martin: 17

10: Williams: 1

After this race, the points gap between Mercedes and Red Bull was widened, after all, the 25 points of a championship is still quite high, plus the 12 points brought back by Pérez's victorious finish in this game.

It is inevitable that the points gap will be widened.

After the game, Qin Miao was still a little frustrated, after all, his performance in today's game was strictly speaking, although because of the explosive breeding of his teammates in qualifying, he was not as good as Hamilton in the starting order, but in the late stage of the game, Qin Miao had the opportunity to take back the second position from Hamilton.

But Qin Miao's luck in this game was relatively poor.

When the team changed tires, it was okay to control themselves for 3 seconds, and when they released the car, they were punished for 5 seconds because of unsafe release, without those 5 seconds, Qin Miao would really be able to snatch the second place from Hamilton.

But at this point, there is no point in complaining, and no matter what, Qin Miao has now won a podium seat.

At least the car is much better now than it was at the beginning of the season.

After parking the car, Qin Miao was ready to participate in the post-race interview, and then in the post-game interview area, Qin Miao saw a smiling Hamilton.

Hamilton was really happy today, even happier than Verstappen, who won the race.

Because this is the first time that Hamilton has defeated Qin Miao in the main stage this season.

That's right, there have been 12 Grand Prix races in a season, and this is Hamilton's first victory over Qin Miao......

Although there is a lot of luck in it, strength is also part of luck.

After saying hello to Hamilton, Qin Miao, Verstappen and Hamilton began to go through the post-match process.

It is worth mentioning that after the race, when Qin Miao and Hamilton returned to the waiting area behind the podium, Hamilton picked up the water cup and took a sip, and then lay down directly on the ground.

Qin Miao looked at it with some surprise, and then remembered that the average temperature of the track in today's race was more than 60 degrees, and the cockpit of the car was about the same temperature as the track outside.

It's just a little sweaty, and then it's normal for Hamilton to be more or less unbearable......

The subsequent processes are all carried out normally, so I won't go into too much detail here.

Although the second and third of the Meiben team brought back in this race was a good result, but after Qin Miao walked into the team P room, the atmosphere in the team P room was still harmonious.

Everyone subconsciously looked at Qin Miao's face, worried that he would be furious when he came back because of something on the field, after all, today's race team did create a lot of obstacles for Qin Miao.

Qin Miao lost her temper when she came back at this time, and no one would find it strange.

It's just that what the team staff didn't expect was that Qin Miao's expression was very calm and nodded to the team staff with a smile, and then he entered his lounge to change clothes.

And next, Qin Miao was also happy with everyone, taking a photo of the P2 and P3 championship trophies.

Qin Miao was indeed quite angry, but the matter had come to this point, Qin Miao knew that no matter how much she lost her temper, it was useless.

Just look away.

At this point, the French Grand Prix is completely over, and the Hungarian Grand Prix is a week away.

After the Hungarian Grand Prix, it's time for all the F1 team staff and drivers to look forward to the summer break.

In fact, this summer break team and Qiu Meng arranged a lot of commercial activities for the birds, accounting for about half of Qin Miao's rest time.

In fact, strictly speaking, this kind of time allocation is very lenient for an F1 driver, and you like Hamilton, a driver with relatively high commercial value, may not have time to rest throughout the summer break.

It's just that Qin Miao directly refused, and I would rather stay at home and play games for the past two weeks.

Qiu Meng doesn't care about this, anyway, their family doesn't rely on Qin Miao's brokerage company to make money.

However, the department in charge of publicity on the side of the Meiben team has a headache.

They did arrange enough work for Qin Miao, but Qin Miao signed a contract with the team that made the publicity department of the Meiben team very painful now.

So now they can only reluctantly accept this fact.

After the game was over, Qin Miao did not return to the UK this week.

Although there should be an upgrade plan for the car at the team headquarters after this week's race, there may even be new upgrades in the design and development.

But next week's Hungarian Grand Prix, the team's upgrade will not be able to catch up in any way.

And compared to Qin Miao's new W13B, Hamilton is obviously more concerned.

That's right, the W13 has been upgraded and tweaked in both the floor and the cockpit, and the team has given the new car the W13B code name because many things are different from the W13.

It's another kind of reform. (End of chapter)
