Trailing by 4.9 seconds, is it difficult to catch up?

It's not difficult for the Mars rover to catch up at all.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Sainz will definitely be able to catch up to Tanger within one second in ten laps.

On lap 33, Mattia reported: "4.45 seconds ahead of Sainz."

On lap 34, Adami reported: "3.97 seconds ahead of Sainz."

……

On lap 36, Mattia reported: "3 seconds ahead of Sainz. It might rain in 8 minutes."

Dry-weather Thomson has a hard time defending against Sainz, but in the rain...

Alfa Romeo: Could it be...?

Let's wait until it actually rains! The accuracy of F1 weather forecasts... those who know, know.

……

On lap 41, Mattia reported: "Leading Sainz by 0.9 seconds. Sainz will take the DRS on the next DRS. Keep the risk-free battle going."

The Dr.S. section after Turn 8, Sainz has Dr.S.!

Sainz: Drs! Start...

"Virtual safety car!" Adami reminded Sainz in the TR, "Watch your speed, don't try to overtake."

Sainz: "*****!*****!"

What happened?

Gasly's car malfunctioned and lost power. Norris collided with Gasly while overtaking him. Norris's rear wheel went free on the spot, and McLaren's car spun onto the wall.

Norris also brought a special edition helmet in the style of a basketball for the Miami game. It is said that the helmet not only looks like a basketball, but also has the same surface texture as a basketball.

"Trying to wear a basketball on your head doesn't seem to be working well." — Soldier

Useless? Poke it! What's the point?

Norris has pitted, he's walking in. Should the other riders pit as well?

Racing legend Bill Russell: "Of course it'll go in!"

The emperor ran 40 laps on white tires without stopping, clearly gambling on a virtual safety car or a safety car, and he actually won!

Moreover, when the FIA ​​deployed the virtual safety car, the Emperor happened to be at the pit lane intersection, thus getting a perfect entry window for free. His luck couldn't be better.

After the emperor left the station, he only dropped two places, landing right behind the cupping king Hamilton.

On the other hand, Tang Che, who had already reached Turn 9, could only say, "I'll pit on the next lap."

Mattia: "copy."

Tang Che's visit to the station this time was very necessary.

This white tire set can indeed go all the way, but the AT03 tires wear out quickly! Regardless of whether Sainz and Perez pit, this white tire set will definitely be at a disadvantage at the back, and Tanger might not even be able to hold P4!

Once Tangche enters the pit, Sainz and Perez will most likely follow suit, meaning Tangche is unlikely to lose a position this time.

In summary, the expected return is positive, so we support joining the site.

What kind of tire should I change to when I go to the station? Partial rain tire?

Impossible! Absolutely impossible!

Eight minutes have passed! Not a single drop of rain has fallen!

Weather forecast? Fake news!

Tangche will pit next lap to change to yellow tires!

Looking back at Sainz... Sainz is currently battling with the Wofa strategy team.

Sainz: "Get ready for yellow tires, I'm pitting on the next lap."

The "Landlord Strategy Group": "Stay out!"

Sainz: "Why?"

Wofa Strategy Group: "Taunter will definitely go into the pit, you will automatically be promoted to P3, and you will have a huge lead over Taunter."

Sainz: "What if the virtual safety car is upgraded to a real safety car?"

Wofa Strategy Group: "No problem, your white tire is in its prime working window, it won't be slower than Taunter's new yellow tire."

Sainz: "Pit stops won't give me a positional advantage, but I'll have a huge tire advantage, and I'm sure I'll get position...in!in!in!in!"

The strategy team: "Preserve your position, help Charles secure P1! Stay out! Stay out! Stay out!"

Sainz: "..."

Upon reaching the maintenance area entrance, Townche entered the station, while Sainz... did not.

Just as Sainz passed the entrance to the pit lane, the virtual safety car was upgraded to a safety car.

Sainz laughed in exasperation: "Hopefully we won't regret our current decision."

Behind Sainz, Perez and Bottas also entered the pit.

Should the cupping king behind Bottas come in?

Mercedes strategy team: "If you want to pit, we have one more chance to pit."

Hamilton: "Don't ask me! Just tell me if I want to go to the station! I don't want to lose my seat!"

Mercedes strategy team: "Okay, stay out."

Hamilton: "Then I'll definitely fall behind George."

Mercedes strategy team: "Yeah."

Hamilton: "..."

Mercedes' strategy team is a master of playing dumb. They knew that Hamilton would fall behind Russell, who had already switched to brand new yellow tires, whether he pitted or not, but they didn't say it outright. They waited for Hamilton to say it himself.

The cupping expert ultimately decided not to go to the station.

Because Perez entered the pit, Tanger only lost one position this time.

Perez got stuck right behind Bottas after leaving the station, dropping a position.

The safety car compressed the car formation, and Tontatta, who had fallen far behind due to the pit stop, was right behind Sainz.

Seeing car number 49 in the rearview mirror, Sainz grew increasingly angry and couldn't help but complain in the radio: "Tom already caused us a lot of trouble, but because of your decisions, he's causing even more!"

Wofa Strategy Group: "We believe in you, Carlos."

Sainz has no f**k to say.

At the end of lap 46, the safety car left the track, and the race entered the dynamic start phase.

After turning 17, Verstappen, who was in the lead, began to accelerate!

When it comes to acceleration, the Red Bull car is far superior to the Ferrari. Even before the starting straight, Verstappen had already created a safe distance for Leclerc. Leclerc had no chance to attack at Turn 1.

But Tanger has it!

There are only two turns between Turn 17 and the starting straight. Ferrari's cornering advantage is not enough to offset the Red Bull car's acceleration advantage in those two turns!

Tang Che closely followed Sainz into the starting straight!

Thanks to his superior straightaway performance, Tangche even pulled ahead of Turn 1 to run alongside Sainz!

The braking zone is another test of courage!

This time, Sainz had enough courage! But he went too far!

Sainz braked too late! Sainz's brakes locked!

This cost Sainz 0.4 seconds!

Fortunately, Bottas and Perez both tried to cut inside at the end of the straight, and neither had a chance to exploit Sainz's opening.

Sainz immediately regrouped and pursued Tanger relentlessly.

After the safety car left the track, there were no DRS for the first two laps, so Sainz could only chase Tanger.

In the corners, Sainz could close the gap a little thanks to the Ferrari's superior cornering performance, but on the straights, he would fall further behind.

By the time DRS became available on lap 49, Sainz had already been left more than a second behind by Tontatta, and was still pulling away!

Even Perez caught up to Sainz within a second in those two laps, and as soon as the DRS ban was lifted, he immediately activated the DRS and chased after Sainz relentlessly.

It's clear that both Tangcher and Perez's lap times on yellow tires were faster than Benz's on white tires!

Sainz broke through the defenses: "****! Who said that lap times on white tires wouldn't be slower than on new yellow tires?****!"

The strategy team responded: "Copy, understood, we are checking the data."
