How did I become an F1 driver?

Although both Qin Miao and Hamilton fell behind Alonso after coming out of the pit area, facing Alonso who had run on medium tires for 20 laps, it was not a big deal for Qin Miao and Hamilton to try to take advantage of him. Something too difficult.

So on lap 25, Qin Miao and Hamilton once again surpassed Alonso and returned to their original positions.

Next, Qin Miao and Hamilton will have no more shots. Qin Miao's new set of hard tires can run the entire race, and there is even a lot of margin.

The same goes for Hamilton on the other side.

However, Qin Miao's cruising speed was obviously faster than Hamilton's, so by the time the race came to the 33rd lap, the time gap between Qin Miao and Hamilton had been widened to 5 seconds.

However, the time gap between Qin Miao and Sainz ahead is also 5 seconds, while the time gap between Sainz and Verstappen ahead is a terrifying 8 seconds.

It can only be said that in the absence of Leclerc, Ferrari's Sainz really can't shoulder much of the burden.

If Leclerc is here, he can put some pressure on Verstappen to a certain extent, but if there is only Sainz, Verstappen will just be cruising alone in front.

At the same time, Sainz's teammate Leclerc had reached the DRS area behind Alonso and began to attack Alonso.

However, Leclerc did not pit at this time, so his position is only temporary.

Moreover, Leclerc had a very hard time overtaking Alonso. He followed Alonso for 3 laps but could not find a good opportunity.

In the end, Leclerc reluctantly chose to pit for tire changes and fell behind.

On lap 49, another yellow flag appeared on the track, and the yellow flag was quickly converted into a safety car.

When the camera cuts away, you can see that Tsunoda's car was parked on the grass outside T2, and the front of the car was directly inserted into the barrier outside the track.

Coincidentally, lap 48 is the pit stop window for many teams.

So many drivers pitted before the safety car appeared.

This happened to be a bargain for Qin Miao and Hamilton, who were preparing to run the entire race.

Moreover, at this time, there was a time gap of more than 10 seconds between the two. Under this gap, there would be no interference between the two of them when they pitted for tire changes.

So Qin Miao immediately pitted and put on a new set of soft tires.

Hamilton is not as capable of tire protection as Qin Miao, and he has no habit of sparing tires, so after entering the pit area, he put on a set of hard tires that had been run for seven laps.

After all, he has no spare tire reserves, and this set of tires is the fastest overall among all his tires.

For Hamilton, the only good news is that after changing to this set of tires, he does not have to worry about tire margin in the next race and can run freely.

After Qin Miao and Hamilton had both changed tires, the on-site director also cut out the first-person perspective of Tsunoda's crash.

Then the commentators of Five Star Sports were a little surprised and a little happy to find that Tsunoda's car was too fast after coming out of the pit area, unable to brake, and understeered and rushed out.

For a moment, the three commentators really wanted to laugh out loud, but considering that because of Qin Miao, there were too many viewers watching the game at Five Star Sports.

Therefore, the three commentators also forcibly resisted the urge to laugh.

What follows is good news for Qin Miao.

The addition of the safety car directly shortened the time gap between him, Verstappen and Sainz.

Although the two people in front also put on new tires during the safety car period, like Hamilton, they no longer have new soft tires and medium tires.
They were replaced with hard tires.

You must know that on this track, the single lap speed of the soft tire is 0.6 seconds faster than that of the hard tire.

This also means that Qin Miao's single lap speed is now more than 0.2 seconds faster than Verstappen, and even faster than Sainz, at least 0.4 seconds per lap.

The safety car started on lap 49 and lasted until lap 54. There were still 16 laps left before the end of the race. Qin Miao's tires were just enough, so Qin Miao didn't need to run away.

The start of the race was relatively smooth. Although Verstappen pushed the car, due to the introduction of the rules, unless he was a driver with a particularly slow reaction speed, it was basically impossible to lose any position at this stage.

After entering T12, Verstappen began to accelerate, and Sainz and Qin Miao followed decisively.

However, Qin Miao was not in a hurry to take action at this time because it was not necessary.

Compared to the first two, my car has no advantage on the straights.

Rather than wasting the few remaining points on his soft tires in the battle in the corners, it is better to follow Sainz all the time and not put too much pressure on him, so that he will not be thrown away by Verstappen. too far.

After DRS is turned on, he can rely on DRS and soft tires to provide him with better grip and win Sainz in one fell swoop.

Only then will I have the chance to control Verstappen in front of me.

However, unlike the top three who followed each other closely after the start, Hamilton was immediately thrown away by Qin Miao after the start.

There is nothing you can do about it. It is almost inevitable that soft tires are faster than hard tires.

And looking at Qin Miao who was gradually moving away from him, Hamilton had never for a moment so hoped that he would have an extra set of soft tires in his tire inventory like Qin Miao did.

It's a pity that there is only one Qin Miao in this world, just like there is only one Hamilton.

However, the tail speed of Ferrari's powerful car is really fast. After DRS was turned on, Qin Miao always stayed 0.5 seconds behind Sainz.

Therefore, even if Qin Miao's DRS is turned on, he will not be able to overtake the car in front of him in the DRS area.

Qin Miao almost got alongside Sainz before the braking point every time.

And Sainz also takes a defensive line.

Although this routing method directly locked Qin Miao behind him, Sainz was gradually pushed away by Verstappen in front of him in the later stages of the race.

There was no place to cross the Villeneuve track, so Qin Miao couldn't find a good opportunity to attack Sainz.

Although the fight between Qin Miao and Sainz on the track basically attracted all the attention of the audience, and even the broadcasters' cameras were fixed on these two people, Qin Miao would rather not have these now. The gaze of the camera. When the race came to the 60th lap, Qin Miao's mental arithmetic was half cold, because at this time, Verstappen was 4 seconds behind Sainz.

Considering the speed of Verstappen's Red Bull car, Qin Miao knew that he had no chance of winning today's race.

Damn you, Sainz, I will kill you!
On lap 61, both T8 and T9 Qin Miao went to the extreme when exiting the corner. After the T9 exited the corner, the right tire of Qin Miao's car almost came out against the right wall of the track.

This kind of driving method is extremely prone to mistakes. Qin Miao never ran so aggressively in qualifying.

Also because of Qin Miao's aggressive driving, Qin Miao bit Sainz in front of him in the section between T9 and T10. When the two came to T10, Qin Miao was still following Sainz closely. Behind Si.

In fact, after seeing Qin Miao's closing rate, Sainz thought about letting Qin Miao pass the DRS monitoring point before himself.

But Qin Miao couldn't let the opponent succeed. He followed Sainz until the DRS monitoring point and had no intention of overtaking.

Then T10 came out. Qin Miao was 0.3 seconds behind Sainz. This was definitely a position where he could launch an attack.

But sometimes you have to admire the terrifying power output capability of the Ferrari engine. Before DRS was turned on, Qin Miao had already sucked into Sainz's wake, but the car basically did not significantly shorten the distance between himself and Sainz. the time gap between.

It wasn't until he entered the DRS area and turned on his car's DRS that Qin Miao began to visibly shorten the time gap between himself and Sainz.

Then before T12, Qin Miao finally surpassed Sainz in front of him.

However, in order to prevent Sainz from counterattacking in the corner, Qin Miao took the inside line when braking into the corner.

Sainz also knows that as long as Qin Miao is at the same speed as himself, it would be as difficult for him to overtake him on the track if he is in front of him as it would be for a three-year-old child to challenge Tyson, and he would have to beat Tyson. Killed directly with fists.

So after Qin Miao surpassed him, Sainz could only sigh in his heart, and then acquiesced that he had lost second place in this game, even though there were still 10 laps to go before the end of the game.

This is Qin Miao's dominance on the track over the past season and the first impression he made on everyone in the paddock.

What's more, Qin Miao, who was using soft tires, was obviously much faster than Sainz.

Just from the two consecutive combination corners of T12 and T13, the time gap between Qin Miao and Sainz was already 0.4 seconds after exiting.

You know, when Qin Miao entered T12, he was not taking the best route into the corner. He was taking the inside route.

In the following period, although Qin Miao was pursuing Verstappen in front of him with all his strength, the 4-second time gap was really too big.

When the race came to lap 69, the time gap between Qin Miao and Verstappen was only shortened to 2 seconds.

In the end, all 70 laps of the race were completed. Verstappen, who had hardly felt any pressure throughout the race, was the first to cross the line, followed closely by Qin Miao and Sainz.

The Canadian Grand Prix ended with the checkered flag.

The rankings and scores for this game are as follows:

P1: Verstappen +25
P2: Qin Miao +19 (fastest lap)
P3: Sainz +14
P4: Hamilton +12
P5: Leclerc +10
P6: O'Connell +8
P7: Zhou Guanyu +6
P8: Alonso +4
P9: Bottas +2
P10: Stroll +1
Although the competitiveness of the Mercedes team is different from the past, domestic fans are still quite satisfied with this game.

On the one hand, due to the appearance of the safety car, Qin Miao staged a desperate counterattack during the dullest period in the later stages of the game, and took the second place from Ferrari, and at the same time won the fastest time in today's game. Single lap.

Using soft tires to achieve the fastest lap later in the race is almost inevitable.

Another person who delighted domestic fans was Zhou Guanyu. This was the first time that Zhou Guanyu defeated his teammate Bottas in the race except for Bottas' retirement.

And at the same time, he and his idol Alonso also staged a very exciting offensive and defensive battle in the later stages of the game.

Alonso's defensive ability is also top-notch, and he proved himself against Hamilton.

But in the end, Alonso still lost to Zhou Guanyu's attack due to the degradation of the Alpine racing tires, and only finished eighth.

Zhou Guanyu also achieved his career-best seventh finish.

After crossing the line, Qin Miao also felt sincerely happy and relieved. After all, no matter what, his original position in this race should be third, but at the end of the race, he finally defeated Sion, who was driving a Ferrari. Si finished second, which is a happy thing anyway.

Even if I am not ashamed to say it, if I had not left Ferrari and drove a Ferrari car this season, I might have won the championship in this game.

"P2, good job, especially when overtaking, so cool!" Franky's voice came.

"Haha, of course." Qin Miao responded with a smile.

……

After the game, Qin Miao naturally celebrated once again with the staff of his team.

Everyone smiled and patted Qin Miao on the shoulder.

After Qin Miao and the staff of his team had finished celebrating, they saw Sainz sitting back on his car after getting out of the car with a tired and frustrated face.

After shaking hands and hugging Verstappen, who came over to greet him, Qin Miao walked next to Sainz.

After shaking hands with the opponent, Qin Miao patted him on the back and said: "To be honest, your defense put a lot of pressure on me. Without any emotion, you are the person who has defended me the longest. .

If it weren't for you, I really might have competed for the championship in this race. Verstappen really should have invited you out for a meal. "

Sainz, who was still a little frustrated, immediately became happy when he heard this: "It seems that I have to call Verstappen after the game."

After smiling at each other, Sainz also went to celebrate with the Ferrari team staff.

After the chat, it’s time for the post-game interview.

I won’t go into too much detail here, just get on the podium, receive the award, listen to the Dutch national anthem, celebrate after completing the process, and the Canadian Grand Prix has come to an end.
