Chapter 1419: Chapter 533: Massive Profit_3

Why the hell can he see momentum from a race car?

Gasly had a strong feeling that when tangled with Qin Miao, the other was too composed, as if when you’re defending against him, he could see through all the mechanical parts of the car and directly into your heart, accurately predicting your next move.

He knew nothing about him.

What kind of monster are Hamilton and Verstappen facing?

Unlike Gasly’s amazement.

The commentators of Five-Star Sports started praising Qin Miao enthusiastically after he completed the overtake on Gasly.

"Beautiful! Threading the needle, weaving through, plus late braking, after a set of combination moves, Qin Miao climbed two positions right at the start to fifth place!"

"This start was excellent, and Qin Miao handled the details of this start very well, with hardly any errors, precise and perfect."

...

"Great overtake, now we’re in P5, keep it up." After completing the overtake on Gasly, Frankie sent timely encouragement.

Qin Miao’s mind was relatively calm. With the huge tire temperature advantage brought by Magelsen’s sudden deceleration and his usual starting skills, it would only have affected his mood if he hadn’t overtaken at this stage.

"Easy," faced with Frankie’s compliments, Qin Miao just replied with this.

Frankie wasn’t angry, in his view, Qin Miao still having the mood to joke was a good sign, much better than having his mindset affected by that red flag incident.

At this moment, what Qin Miao faced were Stroll and Brother Tou.

To be honest, when overtaking Hockenheim and Gasly, Qin Miao wasn’t really nervous.

But facing Stroll ahead, Qin Miao hesitated for a moment.

Undeniably, Stroll is indeed a competent F1 driver.

After all, he often scores at the F1 arena, considered among the mid-field drivers with considerable strength.

But compared to other drivers, he has a significant flaw: instability.

You never know when entangled with Stroll if he’ll suddenly pull a move that blacks you out.

So facing Stroll, even a two-time world champion can’t help but feel a bit nervous.

After all, the man is unpredictable.

Qin Miao was even considering whether to wait until the DRS opened before taking action.

But when Qin Miao really closed in at 0.4 seconds behind Stroll, a position to launch an attack, he saw Verstappen’s gap shrinking to 1.2 seconds, and Hamilton’s to 1.6 seconds.

Qin Miao knew the longer he was stuck in this position, the harder it would be to catch up with those beasts in the later stages of the race.

Thus, Qin Miao ultimately clenched his teeth and decided to take action on the 11th lap.

Without DRS available, Qin Miao knew after exiting T8, just 0.3 seconds behind Stroll, that he had a chance for an attack.

Then he controlled the car, maintaining a 0.3-second gap, continuously following Stroll’s car to the third sector.

After the T9 and T10 combination turns, Qin Miao narrowed his gap to Stroll to 0.2 seconds.

But Qin Miao did not relax his vigilance, as overtaking Stroll was a risky endeavor.

So the moment Qin Miao reached 0.2 seconds behind Stroll, he moved outside.

Qin Miao’s idea was simple; given Stroll’s temperament, he can’t not defend himself.

So Qin Miao planned to feign and draw Stroll outside, then seize the chance to switch inside.

But it was unclear whether Stroll didn’t intend to defend against Qin Miao, or he simply didn’t react to Qin Miao’s feint.

Stroll showed no defensive action against Qin Miao’s lane change.

Qin Miao was a bit surprised, but since Stroll didn’t take any defensive action, Qin Miao naturally went outside.

And relying on the car’s absolute straight-line speed, he overtook more than half of Stroll’s car before reaching the braking point.

Then, with better control over the car than Stroll, Qin Miao opted for a later braking point.

Also, Stroll showed no intention of competing with Qin Miao on late braking, allowing Qin Miao to comfortably overtake Stroll and advance to fourth.

After overtaking Stroll, Qin Miao heaved a sigh of relief. He didn’t expect the driver giving him the most pressure in today’s race to be Stroll.

But in the end, he passed this hurdle.
