It is worth mentioning that when other drivers were parked on the grid, Arrow's Giovinazzi chose to pit and change to medium tires.
It can be known from TR that he is going to take a gamble by switching to medium tires.
Of course, there is nothing wrong with his approach, and the consequences he needs to bear are nothing more than a pit start.
For Arrow, who already has nothing, instead of waiting for death with a urinary catheter inserted, it is better to take a big gamble just like Giovinazzi is doing now!
It's just that all commentators feel that Giovinazzi's gamble is a bit too big.
"Today's game is a bit difficult for Qin Miao." On the eve of the game, three commentators from Five Star Sports chatted with their colleagues at their positions.
“Yes, overtaking at the Hungaroring is already difficult, and now it’s raining again. It’s even more difficult to overtake without DRS, and in front of Qin Miao are Verstappen and Perez.
I believe that Verstappen and Perez will strictly defend Qin Miao during the race. It will be too difficult for him to surpass these two people, so he can only rely on changing to dry tires during the period after the rain stops in the race. "
“I hope there won’t be any surprises at the start of the race and it will start steadily…”
Now Qin Miao is no longer the controversial unknown when he first entered F1. After half a season of training, Qin Miao's skills have matured a lot. At the same time, the audience and commentators in the paddock also understand Qin Miao better and better. The deeper they get, the more familiar they are with Qin Miao's driving style and characteristics and their weaknesses.
Therefore, the three commentators who were firmly on Qin Miao's side also began to worry about Qin Miao's performance on rainy days.
They are not the only ones who are worried about Qin Miao's performance on rainy days. There are also many fans who like Qin Miao, including Qin Miao himself.
Although what could only be considered a drizzle in the sky at this time, as time went by, more and more water accumulated on the track.
In addition, the tires of the racing cars began to cool down rapidly due to the rain. Although the semi-wet tires of the F1 racing cars do not have high requirements for the temperature of the track and tires, you will still have to skid when the temperature reaches a critical value.
So after the car stopped, Qin Miao was still silently praying for the drivers behind him to quickly park in their spots.
Despite this, Qin Miao still waited on the track for about half a minute before the cars behind him stopped one after another.
As the medical vehicle at the rear came to a stop, the green flag behind was waving in the drizzle, and the five red lights turned on one after another.
Qin Miao squinted his eyes, gently applied the gas, and kept the speed of the car at about 7,200 rpm. Starting in the rain is different from starting on dry ground. The grip is not that strong. Naturally, the speed cannot be too fast during the starting stage, otherwise the start will be difficult. Sometimes the rear wheels will slip.
For F1 drivers, if the rear wheel slips at the start, the starting position will basically drop by more than three points.
Although Qin Miao is not good at fighting in the rain, he still has a certain talent in starting, at least he will not make mistakes at the beginning.
As the fifth red light came on, Qin Miao's attention reached its limit, and his eyes were fixed on that red light.
The moment the red color disappeared, Qin Miao suddenly released the clutch button of his racing car.
The rear wheel started instantly, and the rear wheel spin problem that Qin Miao was most worried about did not appear, and he successfully completed an ejection start.
But Qin Miao forgot something when she was a little too irritated because of the rain. Reyes and the others would secretly heat up the ground temperature at the four tires of their starting position when it rained.
This is basically what the engineers of all teams do every time they start on a rainy day, so Reyes and the others thought Qin Miao should know this, so they didn't mention it in particular.
But Qin Miao was not in a good mood because the sky was overcast and rainy when she woke up in the morning. She was a little worried and forgot about it when the game started.
Therefore, the engine speed in his initial stage was not high, but low.
After starting, it was clear that Qin Miao was quickly being caught up by Norris behind him.
Verstappen in front of Qin Miao started well. Although not as fast as Hamilton, he was much faster than his teammate Perez. After starting, he found every opportunity to get behind Hamilton and in front of his teammate Perez.
On the other side, Qin Miao saw Verstappen giving himself a clean driving lane, and Norris behind him was coming menacingly.
In order to defend Norris' attack, Qin Miao decisively came to the center line of the track, leaving only a route on the dirty side of the track for Norris to take.
On the other side, the road in front of Perez was blocked by his teammate Verstappen. Qin Miao had the intention of squeezing over to seal himself behind Verstappen, so he started slightly faster than Qin Miao. After starting, he forced himself directly in front of Qin Miao.
Seeing Perez forcefully inserting himself in front of him, Qin Miao had no choice but to ease off the accelerator in order to avoid a collision.
And because of this kick of the accelerator, Norris, who was approaching and overtaking Qin Miao at a constant speed, directly passed Qin Miao from the outside and was approaching Perez.
Seeing this scene, Qin Miao's teeth were almost broken. After all, he started a little slow this time. Not only did he fail to keep his position and was attacked by Norris, but Perez also sat on his head and pooped. .
But this is competitive sports. If you make a mistake and your opponent doesn't, you have to bear the price.
But what Qin Miao didn't expect was that Norris's starting speed was ridiculously fast. Not only did he surpass Qin Miao before entering T1, he also overtook Perez.
Qin Miao suddenly thought about it after seeing this scene.
The poor grip on the dirty side of the dry road is mainly because the asphalt on the dirty side has some slight ridges and unevenness. When running on this kind of surface, the tire's grip cannot be fully exerted.
But it's different on rainy days. Because of the rain, this slight unevenness can increase the traction of the car.
During the race, no one took the dirty side simply because the speed advantage brought by the traction advantage of taking the dirty side could not offset the benefits of switching from the normal driving route to the dirty side and coming back again.
In the starting stage, Norris happened to be on the dirty side after starting, and his grip was a quarter better than Qin Miao's.
So the audience clearly saw that Qin Miao and Perez were eaten alive by Norris from the inside.
After passing these two people, Norris was in a difficult position to enter the corner, but if he took the outside line, he could easily be choked to death by Perez's late braking from the inside line.
So after Norris passed Perez, he came directly in front of Perez's car. The distance between the two cars was less than 2 meters.
We all know that this season's cars are affected by turbulence. When following the driver in front, the car behind will even lose more than 60% of downforce due to the turbulence of the car in front.
It was raining today, the track surface was slippery, and the braking point of T1 was still downhill.
When Norris entered the braking point and began to brake and slow down, Perez behind him also chose to slow down at the same time.
But because there was a McLaren very close to him in front of him, and because of the influence of the car in front, the overall downforce of Perez's car was more than 50% lower than normal.
Although Perez was prepared and did not apply too much brake stroke when applying the brakes, and adjusted the brake balance very far back, Perez still found himself constantly getting closer to Norris in front, as if he was not Instead of applying the brakes, apply the accelerator.
Before Perez felt that he was about to hit Norris, he could only step on the brakes a little deeper, in an attempt to further slow down the closing rate between the two cars.
But this subconscious action completely caused the situation to get out of control.
The grip of Perez's racing tires, which originally didn't have much downforce, was at its limit. This was still a downhill slope. Although Perez had adjusted the braking weight to the rear wheels, the load on the car was basically all when decelerating. on the front wheel.
So after Perez braked a little deeper, he directly locked the right front wheel of his car.
The track was originally wet, and after Perez's right front wheel locked up, his left front wheel also locked up.
After both front wheels locked up, the rear wheels also locked up, and Perez lost control of his Red Bull car on the spot.
He directly bumped into the butt of Norris who was slowing down.
Norris was paying attention to Verstappen on his side and Hamilton in front of him at this time. Before entering the braking point, he glanced at the rearview mirror and noticed that Perez did not tap his inside line, so he ignored him. , not realizing that the danger was coming.
Then, Perez crashed directly into the back of Norris' car.
Immediately after the collision, Perez's left front wheel suspension was directly broken, while the rear diffuser of Norris's car was destroyed on the spot, and the car was directly shoveled into the air.
The good news is that Perez had a lot of braking force due to the friction between the left front floor of the car and the ground after the left front suspension broke, so Norris' car finally fell to the ground because the car behind him suddenly slowed down.
The bad news is that Norris' tires had no grip due to Perez's shove, and in front of him on the left was Red Bull's Verstappen.
So Norris, who had no grip, directly came into close contact with Verstappen. Although due to the angle, Norris's left front wheel hit the position behind Verstappen's right front wheel. , so both cars kept their suspension.
But this time the collision directly destroyed the wind-breaking wings on the sides of the two people, and Norris even destroyed his own front nose.
At the same time, Perez, the initiator of all this, lost traction and slid straight towards the buffer zone like Norris.
Originally, there was a car waiting on his way like Norris, but Gasly was different from Verstappen. He saw the collision between Perez and Norris, so he saw Perez. After coming towards him, he stopped turning and rushed straight into the buffer zone.
Although Gasly dodged the impact of Perez and avoided a collision, this was the beginning of the game.
He ran to the buffer zone to avoid danger, but rushed straight in. The consequence was that when Gasly returned to the track again, Giovinas who entered the pit area to make a gamble ran ahead of him. went.
He fell to the end of the line.
But the good news is that after such a big accident, the competition will have to deploy the safety car at least, so this loss can be recovered soon.
The bad news is that Gasly started fifth, and he has now fallen directly to the last place at the end of the team.
This gap is indeed a bit big.
Qin Miao acted as Kimi's war correspondent and witnessed all this happening. His racing camera also faithfully recorded everything that just happened.
After seeing all this, Qin Miao was even a little glad that she made some mistakes in the beginning, otherwise she would have been one of the people involved in the car accident just now.
But Qin Miao was just thankful that it didn't take long. When he was about to turn into a corner, he suddenly felt a crisp sound of carbon fiber breaking from behind his car: "Crack!"
Then a huge force came from behind the car, and the rear wheel of his car was shoveled off.
The first time Qin Miao realized that he lost control of his car, his heart skipped a beat.
So bad! I was also criticized.
But fortunately, there was a lesson learned from the past, and the car behind left a lot of margin when entering the corner. Qin Miao only got a slap on the butt, and then due to a sudden huge force from behind, Qin Miao's car also lost its grip. The grip during corners also entered the buffer zone outside the track like Perez.
When he lost control, Qin Miao took the time to look behind him. What appeared behind him was a red Ferrari.
Sainz was not even in the top ten during the qualifying phase of this game, so it was self-evident who was the person behind him at this time.
And Leclerc was a little helpless when he saw that he had pushed Qin Miao into the outside of the track. He didn't want to. In fact, when T1 entered the corner, he was pushed to the side by Stroll who lost control of the grass inside T1 and hit him. He also lost control and bumped into Qin Miao.
But fortunately, the force of this blow was not great. Visual inspection of Qin Miao's car showed no more damage except for the rear diffuser.
After the focus of this round of the world's first-class bumper car Grand Prix has passed, among the drivers in the front row, only Hamilton, who started from pole position, was not affected.
It's like it was destined.
It is worth mentioning that although many cars were affected by this accident, except for Perez, the suspension of other cars did not have any damage. At most, there was damage to the wing, floor, and front nose. However, these damages did not affect the normal driving of the car, so except for Perez's car, which was parked in the buffer zone of T1, the other drivers quickly drove away from here.
So even though the collision was very serious, only one Red Bull retired from the race immediately.
Of course, what we are talking about here is only the cars that retired from the race. In addition to the cars that retired from the race, the cars involved in this track accident also lost a lot of positions.
