Very soon, the reason why Qin Miao wasn't worried beca clear.
On the track, even though Qin Miao hadn't activated DRS, his speed on the straight was no slower than O'Kang's behind him. In fact, it seed like Qin Miao was even slightly faster than O'Kang.
O'Kang was bewildered to see that Qin Miao, without slipstream or DRS, was just using ERS to speed up faster than himself, and was constantly increasing the ti gap between them.
O'Kang slowly typed out a question mark: ?
It was not until the middle of this DRS section that O'Kang started to slowly shorten the distance between himself and Qin Miao due to tail speed.
But by this ti, the remaining track length in the DRS zone was already insufficient for O'Kang to catch up with Qin Miao.
At this point, O'Kang realized that even with DRS, he couldn't defend against Qin Miao.
The position was lost...
Actually, if O'Kang had taken a normal line when entering the corner, Qin Miao really wouldn't have had any way to deal with him.
Because Qin Miao was aiming for victory in this race, if O'Kang's defensive moves were tougher, even if they violated the rules, it wouldn't matter; Qin Miao wouldn't dare make any aggressive maneuvers, nor dare to play tough against O'Kang.
Therefore, if O'Kang forced a squeeze, Qin Miao would most likely let O'Kang pass and find another opportunity.
It can only be said that O'Kang's slightly selfish personality limited his perspective at critical monts, preventing him from considering the offense and defense of this race from another angle.
And after overtaking O'Kang, everyone at the Red Bull team held their heads in frustration and disappointnt.
They lost the chance to compete for the team championship early in the season at Brazil, but they still had hope at that ti because Verstappen's performance this season was no less than Hamilton and Qin Miao, the two rcedes drivers.
But in the last few races, Qin Miao used his terrifying consistency to secure his position on the standings, coupled with the brilliant performance in the last Saudi race, he directly won a vital championship.
At that ti, the Red Bull team was already sowhat desperate, but with Qin Miao dismantling the DRS train ahead of him and taking eighth, it was a painful blow for everyone at Red Bull.
In contrast to Red Bull's despair, the rcedes team saw Qin Miao's overtaking, and everyone started clapping enthusiastically.
Having taken down Verstappen, what Qin Miao now needed to do was to catch up with Perez and take third place.
It's believed that with Qin Miao's skill, plus having reached eighth place without any points conflict with Red Bull, Perez's willingness to defend wouldn't be too strong.
It can be said that after surpassing this DRS train, Qin Miao was like a light boat sailing through thousands of mountains.
However, among the cheering crowd at the rcedes P room, apart from Hamilton's team mbers, there were two people who didn't cheer.
Those two were Qin Miao's mom and wife.
They weren't unhappy seeing Qin Miao complete the overtaking; rather, it was due to being overly tense, and upon suddenly relaxing, they felt a bit drained.
"Mom, I never understood why Sanshui liked watching ga competitions so much before. Now, seeing this race and knowing how important it is to Sanshui, I understand the reason after putting myself in Sanshui's perspective."
Mom reached out to pat Qing's arm, nodding: "Yeah, watching Sanshui's gas at ho never felt like this, but being here in person, the feeling is over-stimulating."
...
In the racing car, luckily, Qin Miao finally completed his task.
And at Five-Star Sports, the three comntators were worried at first when they saw Qin Miao trapped in the DRS train, but after Qin Miao seized a rare opportunity and overtook O'Kang, the cheering from them was no less loud than that of the rcedes team mbers.
"Beautiful crossover! Just like that!"
"The tail speed of the rcedes car, coupled with Qin Miao's incredible car control and exit speed that required almost no correction, even O'Kang with DRS couldn't catch Qin Miao."
"This is Qin Miao! Our strongest Chinese F1 driver!"
...
Not feeling a bit sad about O'Kang losing his position.
Next to be overtaken was Yuki Tsunoda.
During the sa lap in T16.
Qin Miao had already caught up to Lord.
Despite the straight at the start not being long, and Qin Miao not having DRS to use, his tire grip was better than Yuki Tsunoda's.
So the spectators saw on the track that Qin Miao directly completed the overtake of Yuki Tsunoda on the starting straight.
It was purely an engine performance crush.
Just past the starting straight's finish line, Qin Miao completed the side-by-side with Tsunoda on the inside line, finally overtaking before the braking point.
All within one lap, Qin Miao dismantled the DRS train ahead of him and improved his position to seventh.
"Great overtake, the next driver is Leclerc, he's 4 seconds ahead of you, keep pushing, waiting for good news." After completing two overtakes, Frankie finally sent congratulations to Qin Miao.
After dismantling this DRS train, Qin Miao also sighed in relief.
