Chapter 1401: Chapter 526: Two Consecutive Championships

So, the usual method of overtaking on the track is in the DRS zone, which was even designed specifically for the trailing car to overtake.

And the existence of this muscle car from Mercedes happens to hit the soft spot of Aston Martin.

It annoys Alonso quite a bit.

However, Old Man is only regretful that he couldn’t contest for the race win today, but he has no complaints about today’s race and is actually quite satisfied.

Is it your damn "Hamilton Defense Overview" you wrote? Try defending against me again?

...

In summary, the latter part of the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix was relatively calm.

Qin Miao thus crossed the finish line with ease in such circumstances.

But a few seconds later, the fireworks blazing on both sides of the track added some fervor to Qin Miao’s heart.

Immediately after Qin Miao crossed the finish line, the broadcast director cut to the Mercedes team’s pit room.

As Toto, the biggest name besides the two drivers, was absent, the camera focused on the team’s technicians.

At that moment, Reyes and the others didn’t appear overly excited; they merely stood up, smiling, and applauded for Qin Miao’s race today.

Judging from their expressions, it’s clear these people have become accustomed to Qin Miao winning the race.

After crossing the finish line, Qin Miao remained very calm, only saying on the team radio: "Thank you all, you’ve provided me with a very balanced car, very comfortable to drive."

Frankie responded with a smile: "You also did great, now switch the engine mode to S and bring the car back."

...

"Let’s congratulate Qin Miao and the Mercedes team for winning another race!"

"Yes, after today’s race, the points gap between Qin Miao and Verstappen is now 13 points, which is an extremely good start for both Qin Miao and the Mercedes team."

"Furthermore, it’s easy to see from the post-race communication between Qin Miao and the team that today’s race was quite relaxed for Mercedes."

"Indeed, without us realizing, it’s now Qin Miao’s third year in the paddock. To be honest, when Qin Miao first entered F1 in his first year, my expectation was just to be a regular on the podium, after all, Qin Miao’s talent in F2 was quite good, I couldn’t underestimate him. But back then, I couldn’t have imagined, no matter how hard I thought, to see a Chinese driver speak such calm yet confident words to his team’s engineer after winning a championship one day."

These were the reflections of the three commentators from Five-Star Sports after the race today.

The final driver standings and point situations for this race are as follows:

P1: Qin Miao +25

P2: Verstappen +19 (fastest lap)

P3: Hamilton +15

P4: Alonso +12

P5: Perez +10

P6: Leclerc +8

P7: Sainz +6

P8: O’Kang +4

P9: Gasly +2

P10: Zhou Guanyu +1

Qin Miao’s performance in today’s race is unquestionably remarkable.

The eternal god of the main race.

Verstappen also did his best in today’s race.

If it weren’t for so many drivers obstructing him on the track, Verstappen might really have been able to catch up to Qin Miao in the latter stages of the race.

As for whether he could take the race win from Qin Miao after catching up...

That’s unimportant!

At least after catching up to Qin Miao, Verstappen still has a chance, doesn’t he?

Hamilton’s third place today is indeed a bit regrettable.

Old Man was held back by luck.

If Hamilton didn’t use hard tires at the start of today’s race, or if he had used soft tires at the start, he wouldn’t have been that passive even after the safety car appeared on the track.

However, as unfortunate as it is, this is F1, and there is no "if" on the track.
