How did I become an F1 driver?

Chapter 263 Chapter 266: Dutch Championship
The DRS area of ​​the second timing segment on lap 68.

Hamilton took advantage of DRS to overtake Verstappen in front of him in the DRS area between T10 and T11.

Maybe when DRS is not turned on, Verstappen can still rely on his defensive routines that he learns and sells now to limit Hamilton behind him.

But once DRS is turned on, Verstappen, whose own car is damaged, really has no way to do anything to Hamilton.

So amid the boos from the audience, Hamilton completed his overtake of Verstappen.

There were only 5 laps left before the end of the race.

Qin Miao was 5.9 seconds away from Hamilton at this time.

Thanks to Verstappen's restraint and the fighting between the two, Qin Miao was able to quickly open the gap between him and Hamilton behind him.

Although Verstappen collided with Qin Miao, he really repaid kindness with kindness in this game and helped Qin Miao gain almost 6 seconds on the track.

However, Verstappen was still very angry at this time. After all, he should have won a championship, not a third place.

The most important thing is that this is still at his home court.

what?
Verstappen, whose car was damaged, might not be able to prevent Gasly's attack?

He might not even be able to keep third place?
It doesn't exist, let's not talk about the relationship between Little Red Bull and Big Red Bull.

Gasly, who was behind Verstappen, was already exhausted due to tire failure and had no intention of overtaking Verstappen in front of him.

What's more, Gasly also needs to deal with Leclerc's attack behind him.

So at this time, all the highlights of this game fall on Qin Miao and Hamilton.

"Qin Miao! Come on! Faster, faster!" The commentators who were not supposed to explain the game with any emotions showed their clear stance at this time.

Even without realizing it, his palms were full.

After breaking free from Verstappen's restraints, Hamilton naturally began to push forward with all his strength, and Hamilton lived up to his reputation as Liu Yiyi.

On lap 69, Hamilton caught up with Qin Miao in 5.3 seconds, eliminating the 0.6 second gap with Qin Miao in one lap.

The damage to the car may be a key factor in Qin Miao losing the championship in this race.

Qin Miao naturally knew what happened next through French. Verstappen lost his position and Hamilton was now eyeing him.

There is not much Qin Miao can do at this time. The only thing Qin Miao can do now is to accelerate as hard as possible to ensure that he is not surpassed by Hamilton.

At this moment, Qin Miao really felt like being teased, but Qin Miao had nothing to do.

Because at this time, Qin Miao had pushed his car to the limit. Basically every lap, Qin Miao drove his car with the speed and attitude of running in qualifying.

Qin Miao has reached her limit.

If Qin Miao's car was not damaged at this time, people at Mercedes would find that Qin Miao was actually faster than Hamilton.

But unfortunately, there are no ifs on the field.

And despite Qin Miao's best efforts, Hamilton was still not thrown away by Qin Miao, and was still eroding the gap between himself and Qin Miao bit by bit.

On lap 70, the gap between the two was 4.8 seconds.

In this lap, Hamilton only lost 0.5 seconds of Qin Miao, which was smaller than the previous lap, but it was enough to kill the suspense of this game.

Brother Bing and others saw that the gap between Qin Miao and Hamilton was less than five seconds, and then turned on the mic in the Five Star Sports studio and sighed.

Of course, not only them, but domestic car fans also sighed with regret.

What a great opportunity, just gone...

And soon, Qin Miao received another piece of bad news.

And this bad news reached the ears of all the fans who were watching the game nervously with the operation of the director.

"Qin Miao, the tires are starting to overheat."

"Okay, okay, I saw it..." Qin Miao also knew that the championship he had worked hard for the whole game was about to leave him, and his mentality was a little impatient, so when he replied to Franky, his voice was very impatient.

Car fans can also tell from Qin Miao's voice that Qin Miao is not calm at this time.

On lap 71, the time gap between the two was 4.6 seconds.

Although the gap was only shortened by 0.2 seconds, the cumulative advantage of 0.4 seconds was enough to make Qin Miao completely despair.

At this point in the game, Qin Miao was ready to give up.

Forget it, destroy it, quickly.

Qin Miao's fans also sighed and leaned weakly on their sofas or stools.

"Hey, it's a pity. If there was no damage to the car, Qin Miao really might have won this race at Verstappen's home court." Brother Bing said with great regret.

"Yeah, it's such a pity. It's just a little bit worse. If Verstappen could stop Hamilton for one more lap, Qin Miao would have won this race." Fei Ge's face was also full of frustration.

"When the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman wins." Zhou Haoran said: "In this game, Qin Miao and Verstappen were married to Hamilton."

"But it doesn't matter. After all, you must know that this is only the first season of Qin Miao's career. We can't be more satisfied with such a performance. I believe that with the team Qin Miao leads and his talent, we can't be more satisfied." He said that he will win many more championships in the future.”

……

Five-Star Sports is ready to comfort the fans who are watching the live broadcast of Five-Star Sports.

And on the field.

On the 72nd lap, which was also the last lap, passing the end of the third timing section, the time gap between Qin Miao and Hamilton once again jumped to a new number.

Only this time, the number was fixed at 4.7 seconds.

The time gap between Qin Miao and Hamilton reached 4.7 seconds, which means that Qin Miao was 0.1 seconds faster than Hamilton in this lap!
But no one cared about this data when it first came out. After all, Hamilton's advantage in catching up in these few laps was too great.

And even if you notice that the time gap between Qin Miao and Hamilton is shortening, with less than one lap left, it is obviously unlikely that Qin Miao will take 0.3 seconds away from Hamilton.

So at this time, Hamilton's British fans were all cheering loudly, and some even opened champagne at their homes.

Qin Miao's fans and fans all seemed very silent.

However, just because the fans of the two groups behaved differently, everyone on the Mercedes team seemed a little silent.

This was not because the two Mercedes drivers were fighting on the field, but mainly because they discovered that Qin Miao and Hamilton's battle for the championship did not end here.

As more than ten laps passed, and Hamilton and Verstappen attacked and defended each other for several laps, Hamilton's tires began to fail earlier than Qin Miao. When the game came to the 72nd lap, although Hamilton's tires Didn't reach the cliff point, but not far behind.Although the condition of Qin Miao's tires is not very good now, Qin Miao's tire condition with the blessing of skills is obviously better than Hamilton's at this time.

Because there is still suspense in the game at this time, everyone at Mercedes-Benz is waiting silently for a final result.

Although everyone is from the same team, the two drivers in the team also have different crews. Therefore, except for the top management of the Mercedes-Benz team, most of the technicians hope that the driver of their own crew will win the final victory.

In the first timing period, Hamilton caught up by about 0.05 seconds, but before reaching the DRS monitoring point in the second timing period, a slow train appeared in front of Qin Miao within one second.

It is not difficult to guess who will appear in front of Qin Miao at this time, that is Haas driver Ma Zeping, who is expected to break the career lap record.

When Qin Miao came behind him, it happened to be the DRS monitoring point at the T10 corner entry position.

So in the next DRS area, Qin Miao has DRS to use.

Even out of T10, and when DRS was just turned on, Qin Miao ran for a while with Mazeping who was avoiding him, and took a deep breath of Mazeping's wake before returning to the normal driving route of the track.

So in the first DRS zone of the second timing period of the last lap, Qin Miao once again pulled Hamilton away by more than 5 seconds.

And this time is 5.2 seconds.

"Huh?" Fei Ge and others, who were still a little frustrated, were stunned for the first time when they saw the time gap at the bottom of the screen. Then they suddenly reacted: "Qin Miao! It's 5 seconds! The gap is now 5 seconds. !He did it!"

"It's Ma Zeping! Ma Zeping gave Qin Miao a mouthful of DRS!!" Zhou Haoran exclaimed loudly!

【Fuck? 】

[Is it really open? 】

[Have you really outrun the seven-time champion? 】

[Liu Yiquan?If you really want to see the long distance, it has to be Qin Miao]

【The tiger's mouth snatches food】

[Awesome, Qin Miao is really awesome]

[Is this old man really going to let these three people from Five Star Sports die alive? 】

……

The display on Hamilton's steering wheel, which was still on the track, showed the time gap between himself and Qin Miao.

Just after crossing the finish line, Hamilton found himself 0.1 seconds behind Qin Miao due to tire degradation, and then Hamilton had a bad feeling.

After learning through Team TR that a Haas appeared in front of Qin Miao in the DRS area on the last lap, Hamilton's heart went cold.

But now the final result is out, Qin Miao has eliminated all the results of his previous three or four laps by just relying on a DRS zone. At this time, Hamilton is really unwilling.

But the game is not over yet, he still has a chance.

So even though the tires at this time were showing signs of graining, and even the tires were bulging due to excessive temperature, Hamilton still started to accelerate recklessly in the final stage.

But because of this, the braking point of T11 and Hamilton's braking point selection were a bit too curved. When braking, Hamilton's two front wheels directly locked up.

Although Hamilton did not eventually rush into the gravel area at the center of the T12 corner, both of Hamilton's front wheels had been worn flat, and the lack of grip in the corner due to tire wear was even more serious. .

It can be said that this time the tire locked up completely ruined all possibilities of Hamilton catching up with Qin Miao later.

Hamilton's brake lock this time also made countless fans who were looking forward to his good performance in this game hold their heads in their hands and look frustrated.

Because they also know what it means when the tires of Hamilton's car lock up half a lap before the end of the race.

At this time, there is only one timing period left before the end of the game.

Verstappen behind Hamilton was 6 seconds behind Hamilton at this time.

With the car damaged, Verstappen really couldn't raise his speed.

But it also benefited from the fact that behind Verstappen was Gasly of Toro Rosso.

Although Verstappen's speed dropped obviously, Gasly did not attack Verstappen, but instead helped Verstappen defend Leclerc behind him.

If you say that Toro Rosso did not give Gasly team instructions, no one will believe it.

After all, it has now reached a critical moment in the later stages of the season when competing for the driver's championship. For the three drivers who may compete for the driver's championship, every point they get now is extremely precious.

Red Bull naturally knows this too.

Gasly had to obey the order even if he was unwilling to do so. After all, Gasly could clearly see the importance of a podium and a driver's contract.

In the last timing period, Qin Miao learned through TR that Hamilton behind him had locked up his tires while chasing him.

After receiving the news, Qin Miao couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

In the end, amid boos from the audience and fireworks on both sides of the track.

Qin Miao crossed the finish line in his W12 racing car.

Looking at Reyes and the others who were cheering for them on the parapet, Qin Miao, who had been holding back the entire race and carrying the pressure for almost twenty laps, couldn't help but cheer and yell in the team TR: "Wuhu ! Let’s fucking go!!!”

Five seconds after Qin Miao crossed the line, Hamilton also crossed the finish line, followed by Verstappen, Leclerc, and Gasly.

Gasly also helped Verstappen burn himself. Although he helped Verstappen, who had car damage, block Leclerc's attack, he failed to keep his fourth position in the end.

Of course, it is not ruled out that Leclerc has a natural affinity for the fourth position.

In the end, Mercedes scored one or two in this race. The two Mercedes drivers and Red Bull's Verstappen brought an absolutely exciting race to the audience at the scene and in front of the TV.

This game was also full of twists and turns for Qin Miao. After finally crossing the line and confirming that he had won the championship, Qin Miao was happier than ever.

But just after Qin Miao vented his emotions, Toto's voice rang out in Qin Miao's team TR: "Well done Qin Miao, this is a wonderful game, now enjoy your victory and be safe Bring the car back."

In fact, Franky usually congratulates Qin Miao at this time, but Toto considered that Qin Miao's collision with Verstappen at Verstappen's home stadium, the audience's attitude towards Qin Miao would not be the same. Great, in order to appease Qin Miao's emotions, and to prevent Qin Miao from doing or saying anything extreme due to the boos from the audience during the interview later.

So Toto came over personally to congratulate Qin Miao.

Qin Miao was somewhat flattered at this moment by being praised personally by the big boss who usually didn't speak much at this time.

Naturally, Qin Miao also thanked everyone at the Mercedes team in the TR of the team.

ps. Sorry, the condition is not good, only 4K...
