There would be only 10 laps left until the end of the race.
Qin Miao’s tire managent is sufficient for him to accelerate throughout the entire race.
"Alright, the race is about to restart, and I have lost count of how many tis I’ve marveled at Qin Miao’s talent for tire managent.
At the sa ti, I think we can already congratulate Qin Miao for winning his second race of the season on the ho ground of the rcedes team!" Zhou Haoran directly assud that Qin Miao would win this race.
However, upon hearing Zhou Haoran’s words, Bing and Fei quickly intervened: "Hey, hey, hey, Haoran, don’t speak too soon, the race isn’t over yet, anything can happen. Qin Miao just has a higher chance of winning right now."
Despite the fact that the three comntators of Five-Star Sports are unwilling to admit it, nor do they believe such mystical beliefs exist.
But as the Chinese saying goes, when concerned, you beco confused.
They’re hoping for a good performance from Qin Miao on the track, even boldly wishing for Qin Miao to lead the rcedes team towards revival.
However, in such crucial monts, they showcased the Chinese characteristic of believing in casting a wide net, whether or not it works.
Just in case it does work?
After the race resud, Qin Miao felt little pressure.
But the four drivers behind him were not so composed.
Hamilton, after the race restarted, had little interest in trying to catch up to Sainz in front of him, focusing entirely on Perez behind him.
Sainz, anwhile, started making moves on his teammate Leclerc, who was using old hard tires, ahead of him.
When the race reached lap 44, Qin Miao set the fastest lap of the race.
And the driver behind him changed from Leclerc to Sainz.
Perez also successfully capitalized on Hamilton’s mistake to overtake him.
The gap between Perez and the third-place Leclerc increased to 1.4 seconds.
This large gap mainly resulted from the battle between Hamilton and Perez, which significantly reduced their overall speed.
After Sainz overtook Leclerc, it only took him half a lap to extend the gap to 1.5 seconds, and he began to slowly but steadily reduce his gap with Qin Miao.
In the later stages of the race, Qin Miao mainly focused on defending against Sainz behind him.
Although defending against Sainz was not an easy task, Qin Miao never allowed Sainz to gain an advantageous position beside his car.
anwhile, Leclerc, due to tire issues, gradually got caught in the battle between Hamilton and Perez behind him.
In the exchange between Perez and Leclerc, Hamilton managed to seize the opportunity, creating a classic situation of reaping the rewards without contention.
After overtaking both of them, Hamilton ultimately held onto his podium position.
And Perez, after Hamilton beca more cautious, couldn’t find another chance to overtake.
Leclerc, due to tire issues, gradually lagged behind Hamilton and Perez.
Finally, Qin Miao secured his second race win of the season, utilizing an ultra-long stint to await the safety car, and after this race, he also climbed to the top of the driver standings.
Sainz, who attempted to attack Qin Miao for a full eight laps, ca in second.
Third was Hamilton, who stabilized his position after capitalizing on the situation.
The final driver rankings and points for this race are as follows:
P1: Qin Miao 26 (Fastest Lap)
P2: Sainz 18
P3: Hamilton 14
P4: Perez 12
P5: Leclerc 10
P6: Norris 8
P7: Zhou Guanyu 6
P8: Verstappen 4
P9: Mick 2
P10: Vettel 1
Leclerc, after being backstabbed by the team, couldn’t even hold onto his familiar fourth position.
The word ’miserable’ doesn’t suffice to describe his misfortune.
