Verstappen can't help it.

originally thought that this attack was just a battle for position between himself and Qin Miao, a fair 1V1.

But I didn't expect Mei Ben's gang to be unable to afford to play, and they actually played two to one on the track.

Stinky and shameless!

Of course, although Verstappen scolded in his heart and was angry in his heart, but being compared to Qin Miao's knife in his throat, Verstappen didn't dare to take too much risk and try to forcibly squeeze out between Qin Miao and Hamilton.

After all, Verstappen had learned Qin Miao's defensive hardness, and he dared to squeeze himself, he really dared to stand up to himself.

Verstappen, meanwhile, did not dare to press Hamilton from the outside to the turf to overtake Hamilton.

After hitting the grass on the outside, Verstappen could not guarantee that he would be able to control the car 100% of the time.

If one is not good, it may be withdrawn on the spot.

After all, the Dutch Grand Prix is Verstappen's home turf, and if he retires here, Verstappen himself will feel a little sorry for the Dutch crowd at the scene.

However, Verstappen's desire to surpass Qin Miao did not give up, because the next T2 was a 180-degree turn to the right.

If you suppress Qin Miao's exit line a little bit on the outside line, it is very likely that you will rely on a wider exit line to get a faster exit speed on the outside line of this curve, so as to surpass Qin Miao.

However, Qin Miao, as the driver who is recognized as the most defensive in the entire F1 paddock at present, can naturally see clearly what Verstappen is still playing side by side with him at this time.

Qin Miao came directly to the brake point of T2 with a kick of late brake, the kind that directly missed the brake point.

The effect was that Qin Miao jumped in front of Verstappen directly when he entered the corner.

Although Qin Miao's late braking this time seemed to be reckless, Qin Miao didn't say it when he was defending.

Instead of overtaking Verstappen exactly in front of the braking point, he aimed his left rear wheel at Verstappen's right front wheel, keeping Verstappen on his perimeter and leaving Verstappen with no good line to cross.

When entering T2, because he had missed the center of the bend, Qin Miao's line in and out of the bend was very large.

But that's the case, Verstappen, who was on Qin Miao's outside line, either slowed down to avoid Qin Miao and went to the crossing line at this time, or he continued to stay on Qin Miao's outside line.

However, no matter how Verstappen chooses, Qin Miao at this time has completely disrupted Verstappen's rhythm of cornering.

After all, what Verstappen was thinking about before was to forcibly surpass Qin Miao on the outside, and all the preparations he made were also in the service of this tactic.

Seeing this, Verstappen could only stubbornly continue his original tactics and prepare to surpass Qin Miao on the outside.

It's just that after Verstappen came to the outside, he encountered a very classic line power struggle.

After exiting the corner, Qin Miao exhausted the width of the track and prepared to eat the shoulder.

Verstappen really wanted to hit Qin Miao on the left and back on the right at this time, and directly flew this sixth person out.

But Qin Miao controlled the position of his car very well, and it happened that the left rear wheel was aimed at Verstappen's right front wheel.

Verstappen couldn't hit Qin Miao even if he wanted to hit him at this time, at most, the wheel arches of the two racing tires collided with each other.

So Qin Miao still held his position.

After Verstappen's attack ended, there was naturally a sigh of loss in the Dutch crowd at the scene.

The reason is naturally because Verstappen failed to surpass Qin Miao in one fell swoop.

However, the domestic commentators are really happy, and they all don't hesitate to praise Qin Miao.

"Qin Miao is well defended, and now there are 10 laps left before the end of the game." Frankie praised Qin Miao and also told Qin Miao how long it would take for the game to end.

Although Qin Miao heard it, he didn't give any answer to it.

He was more focused on Hamilton in front of him.

Although he had just blocked a very threatening attack by Verstappen, because when defending Verstappen, Qin Miao's entry and exit lines were not the best lines, so although Qin Miao blocked Verstappen's attack at this time, the time gap between Qin Miao and Hamilton was still widened to 1.2 seconds.

Kicked out of the DRS zone by Hamilton.

And Verstappen was only 0.8 seconds behind Qin Miao at this time.

He was just threatened by Qin Miao to squeeze out of the track, and he was not really squeezed out of the track by Qin Miao, so the speed loss was not too big.

Although Verstappen is likely to be thrown out of the DRS zone by Qin Miao, the F1 car can eat the wake of the car in front of it in less than 1 second.

Coupled with the speed of the Red Bull car on the straight, Qin Miao felt that it would not take long for Verstappen to catch up again.

So Qin Miao still didn't let his guard down.

In Qin Miao's estimation, if he wants to finish in front of Verstappen in today's game, then he needs to withstand Verstappen's attacks at least 2-3 times.

As for overtaking Hamilton, let the old man help him defend Verstappen for a while, and he took advantage of this time to open up the time gap with Verstappen......

This is indeed a method, and even a very good plan, which can increase the probability of Qin Miao winning the championship of the sub-station competition from 50% to 80%.

But Qin Miao didn't have the face to ask Hamilton to do this, and he wouldn't ask Hamilton to help him like this.

Qin Miao, as a world champion, still has to nod face.

At most, he is looking for an opportunity to directly overtake Hamilton, and then use Hamilton behind him to defend Verstappen, and he has been providing the opponent with wake in front of Hamilton, increasing the price and time that Verstappen needs to pay to surpass Hamilton.

But this is just Qin Miao's current idea, now Verstappen is putting a lot of pressure on Qin Miao, and the other party is also using soft tires, although the other party's tires are not as new as their own tires, but this week, the speed of Red Bull racing has always been faster than Mercedes.

On lap 65, T11 three laps later, the end of the second section of the DRS section of the Zandvoort circuit.

At this time, the time gap between Verstappen and Qin Miao was only 0.5 seconds.

Verstappen put a little pressure on Qin Miao with an inside tap before the braking point, but Qin Miao didn't feel any nervousness at all now.

Even Qin Miao was really looking forward to Verstappen forcibly inserting in when he braked late on his inside line, so that Qin Miao, who had been prepared for a long time, could directly take a cross line, enter T12 in front of Verstappen, and directly squeeze Verstappen out of the track.

However, he has been fighting with Qin Miao on the track for so long, and he has suffered a big loss in Qin Miao's hands countless times because of his impatience, so Verstappen also learned to be obedient this time, so he just gave Qin Miao a light up on his car and put a little pressure on Qin Miao, but he didn't make any further moves.

Qin Miao didn't feel pity for this, this was just an extra plan in Qin Miao's mind.

Soon, as the race progressed, Hamilton, Qin Miao, and Verstappen passed the DRS monitoring point after the T12 bend together.

At this time, Qin Miao was 0.6 seconds away from his teammate Hamilton, and Verstappen was 0.6 seconds away from Qin Miao.

The three of them kept almost the same distance, one after the other came to T13, and entered the DRS area to turn on DRS.

The Dutch fans at the scene were excited again, because the time gap between Verstappen and Qin Miao at this time was shorter than the last time Verstappen attacked Qin Miao, and this time Hamilton was more likely to surpass Qin Miao.

"Go inside and defend." Qin Miao said directly in the TR of the convoy.

And Qin Miao's words were naturally said to Hamilton.

Hamilton knew that if he and Qin Miao were not teammates, with this new set of soft tires on Qin Miao's car, Qin Miao would not be too easy to overtake himself in the DRS area.

Since he couldn't hold it, it simply wouldn't affect Qin Miao's acceleration.

So Hamilton didn't think too much about it, and then gave up his position, of course, it was also related to what Qin Miao took the initiative to say in the team TR.

Although the direct contact between Qin Miao and Hamilton had ended at this time, it was relatively easy for Frankie to convey Qin Miao's meaning.

What's more, Qin Miao said this before entering the DRS area.

It's just that to Hamilton's surprise, Qin Miao did surpass himself on the outside of the big straight, but he didn't completely surpass himself, but on the outside side by side with him.

His left front wheel was on Qin Miao's right rear wheel.

The two Mercedes stayed on the track, but instead left room for Verstappen to overtake on the outside.

After seeing this, Hamilton was full of puzzlement, but Verstappen frowned when he saw it, and he suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart.

Based on Verstappen's understanding of Qin Miao, Qin Miao is a traditional old coward.

Aside from being tough enough to stop you from overtaking him, the favorite thing is to set a trap and wait for you to get into it.

Like a sinister, cunning and sophisticated hunter.

At this time, Verstappen had such a strong premonition that the gap that appeared in front of him was a trap that Qin Miao had designed for himself.

Although Verstappen has a voice in his heart that tirelessly tells Verstappen that he must give up this opportunity to attack! Keep the time gap between yourself and Mercedes and wait for the next attacking opportunity.

But Verstappen felt that his speed was very fast at this time, and the width that Qin Miao had left for himself was enough to surpass it.

He wanted to try, and Verstappen did it.

But then, Verstappen realized that his acceleration seemed to be a little insufficient.

Wrong! It's not that your acceleration is not enough, it's that the length of the track is not enough!

Verstappen suddenly realized this when he found the T1 brake point that appeared not far in front of him, and he had reached a position that was about to be side by side with Qin Miao.

If it is normal for the overtaking of a racing car, Zandford's starting straight length is definitely enough, but today's Verstappen not only needs to surpass Hamilton, who has been overtaken by Qin Miao by more than half, but also needs to surpass Qin Miao's car.

It's the equivalent of him overtaking an extended F1 car at once.

Then Verstappen could barely reach a position side by side with Qin Miao just before the braking point of T1.

After seeing Verstappen in the trap, Qin Miao's face also showed a warm smile for the first time in a long time.

This time, when Qin Miao braked out of the corner, he didn't leave much space for Verstappen on the outside line, and directly compressed the position of the outside line.

On the other hand, Hamilton was completely overtaken by Qin Miao after Qin Miao braked at night, but he took the best exit route on the inside.

So Verstappen's rhythm of entering and exiting corners on the track was interrupted by Qin Miao again, but Verstappen did not give up and still wanted to overtake Qin Miao before Qin Miao completely closed the door, after all, Verstappen's speed is really fast now, but in the end, it turned out that Verstappen thought too much, and he was directly squeezed out of the track.

After that, he returned to his normal rhythm and was still in third place after the corner.

The Dutch audience at the scene let out a frustrated sigh in the same place again.

And Qin Miao's side not only completed the overtaking of Hamilton, but also held Verstappen's attack.

After surpassing Hamilton to the first, Qin Miao did not rush to accelerate to open the time gap with Hamilton, but still used the same rhythm as just now to cruise 0.8 seconds in front of Hamilton.

Qin Miao's purpose is not difficult to guess, he wants to provide Hamilton with DRS in front of Hamilton so that Hamilton can defend Verstappen behind him.

To be honest, Qin Miao's behavior surprised Hamilton, the person concerned, he originally thought that Qin Miao would definitely pat his ass after completing his transcendence and accelerate to get rid of himself with all his might.

Hamilton's idea didn't have much basis, but if he and Qin Miao's positions were reversed, Hamilton felt that he would definitely do it.

After all, Qin Miao's racing tires are equipped with new soft tires, and it is not too simple for him to pull away from using neutral tires.

But he never expected that Qin Miao would take the initiative to choose to stay.

After Verstappen's rhythm was lost this time, there was naturally a lot of swearing in the team's TR.

"Qin Miao! He didn't know how to drive at all and squeezed me out again! He deserves a time penalty! ”

However, in the eyes of the FIA, although Qin Miao's beating of Verstappen at Verstappen's home stadium somewhat affected the local ratings of F1 in the Netherlands, Qin Miao's operation was not too problematic, and they couldn't say anything.

On the other hand, while Verstappen was scolding Qin Miao in the team TR, the time gap between him and Hamilton was widened to 1.2 seconds.

Because this time he was really squeezed out of the track by Qin Miao, and the racing tires were directly pressed to the grass.

Although Verstappen used his terrifying track instincts to control his car without making any more mistakes, there was still a lot of time lost.

On lap 69, because Qin Miao's DRS blessing has always been there, Hamilton's speed in the later stage was also a lot faster, so that it was not until this time that Verstappen came to the position where Hamilton could attack within 0.5 seconds of the DRS zone behind Hamilton.

Verstappen's attack did not have Qin Miao's direct intervention and blocking, and Hamilton's speed was indeed a little insufficient, even if Verstappen attacked Hamilton, Hamilton held the inside line of T1, and the front of the outside line was also blocked by Qin Miao's deceleration.

But Hamilton closed late, and Verstappen directly accelerated through the not-so-big gap between Qin Miao and Hamilton.

And in T1, he held Hamilton's counterattack and stabilized his second place.

The Dutch crowd, who had been exclaiming in the middle of the race, could also breathe a sigh of relief and cheer for Verstappen's wonderful overtaking.

Qin Miao looked at Verstappen, who had surpassed his teammate Hamilton, and was also a little helpless, why can't he defend for a while, no matter how hard it is to buy me a second or two, why was he directly given a second by Verstappen?

In any case, Verstappen's overtaking of Hamilton also delayed a bit of time to deal with Hamilton's counter-attack.

By the time Verstappen freed up his hand and was ready to start attacking Qin Miao, the time gap between Qin Miao and Verstappen had already reached 1.7 seconds.

There were still 3 laps left before the end of the race.

After Verstappen completed the overtaking of Hamilton, Qin Miao began to unleash all the performance of the car without reservation.

Therefore, Qin Miao is confident that he will not give Verstappen a chance to attack him before the end of the game.

However, Qin Miao's worries actually seemed a little redundant in the last three laps.

What Qin Miao didn't know was that at this time, Verstappen's old soft tire grip was completely bad.

He is not Qin Miao after all, and he does not have such an anti-natural tire management ability.

Multiple offensive attempts have left his tires on the edge of a cliff.

Surpassing Hamilton is entirely due to the help of ERS, DRS and Hamilton's wake, and if Hamilton holds on to Verstappen's attack and closes the door in time, then the runner-up finish in this game will definitely fall into Hamilton's hands.

It's just a pity that there is no if.

In the end, in the stunned, disappointed, and helpless gaze of the Dutch audience at the scene, Qin Miao and Verstappen crossed the line one after another with a gap of 2.4 seconds.

In the cheers of the staff of Qin Miao's crew lying on the parapet, and in Qin Miao's right hand raised high in celebration, Brother Bing's excited voice sounded: "Let's congratulate the Chinese driver Qin Miao!" Champion! Another sub-race championship is in hand! This is already Qin Miao's 5th sub-station championship this season.

After this race, Qin Miao further consolidated her position at the top of the drivers' standings and took a step closer to the drivers' championship in the 2022 season! ”

Fei Ge said with some emotion: "It's not easy, it's really not easy for Qin Miao, the champion of this sub-station, to win." ”

Zhou Haoran also nodded and said: "It's really not easy, but Qin Miao has never let us down, and what I feel is the most eye-catching thing in today's game is that Qin Miao used Hamilton Car's card position to defend Verstappen twice in the late game, which are really textbook-level defensive operations."

I think there will be a lot of drivers who will take the footage of this race and study it again and again after this race. ”

Fei Ge nodded: "Indeed, this is Qin Miao, a recognized defensive master inside and outside the paddock, but it's a pity that the Meiben team couldn't bring it back one or two in this game." ”

Brother Bing said with a smile: "In fact, Toto should already be very satisfied with winning the championship in such a race, on the one hand, this is Verstappen's home stadium, and on the other hand, the performance of the two drivers of the Mercedes team in today's race is a good proof that the upgrade effect brought by this Grand Prix is very obvious." ”

After the commentators of Five Star Sports sighed, Qin Miao's familiar voice sounded in Qin Miao's team TR again: "P1! Qin Miao: We are P1! Good job! Nice defense, precise and elegant, like dancing.

Seriously, Qin Miao, I will never get tired of watching your defense on the field. ”

"Hahaha! Let's fucking go!” Qin Miao also made a rare burst of foul language in the team's TR.

It was quite cool for Qin Miao to win this game.

Especially with the affectionate "greetings" of the Dutch audience in the early stage, those foul words made this game taste particularly sweet in Qin Miao's eyes.

When he went back, Toto also praised Qin Miao in the team TR.

"Congratulations to you Qin Miao, a beautiful battle, an epic defensive performance, all of us are proud of you."

"Thank you Toto, but I feel like I have a share of Lewis in the title of this race, and I really wouldn't have been able to hold this position without his help, and the speed of MAX in this game is just too fast."

"Of course, we all saw the performance of the two of you on the track in today's race, it's been a hard three weeks for you, now bring the car back safely, and then it's time to enjoy the fruits of your victory."

……

The finishing standings and scores for today's race are as follows.

P1: Qin Miao +26 (fastest lap)

P2: Verstappen +18

P3: Hamilton +14

P4: Leclerc +12

P5: Sainz +10

P6: Pérez +8

P7: Alonso +6

P8: Norris +4

P9: Ocon +2

P10: Stroll +1

Qin Miao's performance in this game is nothing to say too much, consistently excellent starting speed and reaction, good long-distance rhythm, coupled with Qin Miao's unique anti-sky level defense and tire protection ability.

In the end, with a little bit of luck, Qin Miao won this hard-won championship in the sub-station.

Verstappen's pace in this race was indeed a pity, and Verstappen's pace did reach the championship level in the main event.

If Bottas' safety car didn't give Qin Miao a chance to breathe, no matter how rebellious Qin Miao's ability to protect tires was, Verstappen would probably win the championship in this race.

However, it was obvious that Verstappen's luck in the home game was slightly worse than Qin Miao's.

But at least compared to last year's Dutch Grand Prix, Verstappen moved from third to second.

It is worth mentioning that since Qin Miao joined F1, the Zandvoort Circuit in the Netherlands seems to have become Qin Miao's blessed land, as long as Qin Miao participates in the competition here, he will win the sub-race championship, which is already Qin Miao's second sub-race championship at the Zandvoort Circuit.

Of course, it may also be because it is only the second year that Qin Miao has entered F1, which can be used for reference, and there are too few seasons to investigate, so it seems that Qin Miao is particularly suitable for this track. (End of chapter)
