It's a pity that there's only one Qin Miao in this world, just like there's only one Hamilton.

However, Ferrari's rear speed is really fast, and with DRS open, Qin Miao consistently kept within 0.5 seconds of Sainz.

As a result, even though Qin Miao's DRS was open, he couldn't overtake the car in front in the DRS zone.

Every time, Qin Miao was barely able to be side by side with Sainz before the braking point.

And Sainz was driving defensively all the way.

Although this driving line locked Qin Miao behind him directly, Sainz was gradually left behind by Verstappen in front of him in the later stages of the race.

Moreover, the Villeneuve track didn't have room for crossover lines, and Qin Miao couldn't find a good opportunity to attack Sainz for the time being.

Even though the battle between Qin Miao and Sainz on the track attracted all the attention, and the broadcast camera remained fixed on them, right now Qin Miao would rather not have these camera watchings.

By the time the race reached lap 60, Qin Miao was somewhat disappointed because Verstappen had a 4-second gap from Sainz.

Considering the speed of Verstappen's Red Bull, Qin Miao knew that the championship of today's race was out of reach for him.

Damn it, Sainz, I'll get you!

In lap 61, Qin Miao was driving at the limit through T8 and T9, with the right-side tires of Qin Miao's car almost touching the barrier on the right side of the track exiting T9.

This driving style was extremely prone to errors, and Qin Miao hadn't driven as aggressively in qualifying.

Because of Qin Miao's aggressive driving, he managed to stay close to Sainz between T9 and T10, and when they reached T10, Qin Miao was still tightly following Sainz.

Seeing Qin Miao's approach, Sainz thought about letting Qin Miao pass the DRS detection point first.

But Qin Miao couldn't let the opponent succeed; he kept following closely behind Sainz before the DRS detection point, with no intention of trying to overtake.

Later, after T10, Qin Miao was 0.3 seconds behind Sainz, which was definitely a position to launch an attack.

However, sometimes you have to admire the terrifying power output capability of the Ferrari engine. Before DRS was activated, Qin Miao already picked up Sainz's slipstream, but the gap between him and Sainz didn't really visibly shorten.

It was only when entering the DRS zone, when Qin Miao opened his car's DRS, did the gap between him and Sainz start visibly shrinking.

Finally, before T12, Qin Miao managed to overtake Sainz in front.

But to prevent Sainz from retaliating in the corner, Qin Miao took the inside line while braking into the corner.

Meanwhile, Sainz understood that as long as Qin Miao and he maintained the same speed, it would be as difficult for him to overtake Qin Miao as a three-year-old single-handedly defeating Tyson in a fight, and Tyson would have to be taken down with punches.

Therefore, after being overtaken by Qin Miao, Sainz could only sigh in his heart and accept that his second-place finish in this race was lost, even though there were still 10 laps left in the race.

That's the dominance Qin Miao has demonstrated on the track throughout the season and left as the first impression for everyone in the paddock.

What's more, Qin Miao, using soft tires, was clearly faster than Sainz.

Right after T12 and T13, two consecutive combined corners, the gap between Qin Miao and Sainz had already extended to 0.4 seconds.

Mind you, Qin Miao didn't take the best entry line entering T12; he took the inside line.

In the time following, despite Qin Miao's full pursuit of Verstappen in front, the 4 seconds gap was too big.

By the time the race reached lap 69, the gap between Qin Miao and Verstappen had only been reduced to 2 seconds.

In the end, after 70 laps, Verstappen, who almost never felt any pressure throughout the race, crossed the finish line first, followed closely by Qin Miao and Sainz.

The Canadian Grand Prix ended with the waving of the checkered flag.

The rankings and score results of this race are as follows:

P1: Verstappen+25

P2: Qin Miao+19 (Fastest lap)

P3: Sainz+14

P4: Hamilton+12

P5: Leclerc+10

P6: O'Kang+8

P7: Zhou Guanyu+6

P8: Alonso+4

P9: Bottas+2

P10: Stroll+1

Although Mercedes' competitiveness was not like before, domestic fans were still quite satisfied with watching this race.

On the one hand, because of the appearance of the safety car, Qin Miao staged a hard-fought comeback from the Ferrari's grip to take a good result of second place and also secured the fastest lap of the day in the later part of the race during the most tedious period.

Using soft tires to set the fastest lap during the later part of the race is almost inevitable.

Another reason for domestic fan's excitement was Zhou Guanyu. This was the first time in the main race phase, aside from Bottas retiring, that Zhou Guanyu defeated his teammate Bottas.

Meanwhile, he also staged a thrilling attack and defense battle with his idol Alonso in the later stages of the race.

Alonso's defensive skills are top-notch, and he had proved himself on Hamilton.

But in the end, due to Alpine's car tire degradation issues, Alonso was defeated by Zhou Guanyu's offensive, settling for eighth place.

And Zhou Guanyu achieved his career-best finish of seventh in the race.

After crossing the line, Qin Miao felt genuinely happy and relieved because, in any case, his original position should have been third, and by the end of the race, he had managed to defeat Ferrari's Sainz to secure second place, which is worth being happy about, no matter how you look at it.

Even, somewhat boastfully, if he hadn't left Ferrari and was driving a Ferrari this season, today's race victory could have been his.

"P2, well done, especially during the overtakes, really cool!" Frankie's voice came through.

"Haha, of course." Qin Miao responded with a smile.

...

After the race, Qin Miao naturally celebrated once again with his team's staff.

Everyone smiled and patted Qin Miao on the shoulder.

After Qin Miao finished celebrating with his team's staff, he noticed Sainz getting off his car and leaning against it with a somewhat exhausted and frustrated face.

After shaking hands and hugging with Verstappen, who was coming over to say hello, Qin Miao went over to Sainz.

After shaking hands with Sainz, Qin Miao patted his back and said: "Honestly, your defense put a lot of pressure on me. Without any emotions, you're probably the person who's defended against me the longest so far.

If it weren't for you, I might have challenged for the Grand Prix victory. Verstappen should really treat you to dinner."

Sainz, who was initially somewhat frustrated, instantly perked up after hearing this: "Looks like I need to give Verstappen a call after the race."

With mutual smiles, Sainz also went to celebrate with the Ferrari team staff.

After the conversation, it was time for the post-race interview.

No need to describe much here; they went through the procedures - stepping onto the podium, receiving the award, listening to the Dutch national anthem - and with one complete process, the celebration was done, and the Canadian Grand Prix was thoroughly over.
