F1: I was born to be useful, and you are all destined for greatness.

#2022 F1 Miami Grand Prix Race Commentary (Five-Star Sports)#

"Is Turn 11 enough, Perez...?"

"Not enough, not enough, we'll definitely have to wait for the next Drs section."

"Through this DRS zone, both Sainz and Perez have narrowed the gap with the car in front to some extent. At the next DRS, both Sainz and Perez have a great chance to overtake."

"It all depends on whether Xiao Tang can gain a lead in the series of low-speed corners. The bigger the lead, the easier it will be for Xiao Tang to defend in the next DRSE zone."

"It's not easy to pull off! The AT03's stability in corners has definitely improved a lot after the upgrades in the last race, but it's still not as good as Ferrari and Red Bull... Ugh!!!!"

-----------------

Sainz made a mistake! Sainz made a mistake at Turns 14 and 15! He spun here in practice too! And he repeated the same mistake in the race!

Sainz pushed too hard! Sainz was too eager to gain a lead in the consecutive corners – if Sainz couldn't gain a sufficient lead, Perez could very well overtake Sainz again in the DRSE zone after Turn 16 with his superior straight-line performance.

Haste makes waste; Sainz ate too many curbs here, causing the Ferrari to bounce violently!

Fortunately, Sainz managed to save the car, and he didn't go off the track this time. However, this mistake cost both Sainz and Perez 0.3 seconds. Sainz's mistake definitely cost time, and even if Sainz made a mistake, there were no overtaking lines at turns 14 and 15, so Perez had to brake to avoid a collision.

Even with a 0.3-second deficit, Sainz and Perez are still within one second of Tanger.

This wave is a demonstration of the Mars rover's tolerance for errors.

Exiting Turn 16, past the Dr.S.R. testing line, Sainz has Dr.S.R.R., Perez has Dr.S.R.R., and Bottas has Dr.S.R.R.R.

Bottas?! When did he arrive?

Bottas: My Arro isn't fast, but he's not slow either, okay? Under normal circumstances, he can't catch up with the three of you, but aren't you three fighting hand-to-hand? You three are losing more than a second per lap, how could I not catch up with that? I'm a top driver!

After passing through the DRRS activation point, Sainz activates DRRS, Perez activates DRRS, and Bottas activates DRRS.

Congratulations to Dr. Tang, the helmsman of the DRS high-speed rail, on acquiring another new carriage!

Because of the time lost at turns 14 and 15, the Drs zone wasn't enough for Sainz and Perez to launch an attack on Tontatta.

Bottas was even worse off. Because of the time lost by Sainz and Perez, Bottas barely managed to catch up to Perez by 1 second before the DRS detection line. That gap wasn't enough for him to attack the car in front.

Having both DRS is the same as not having DRS. It's purely a straight-line performance contest. Who will reign supreme in straight-line performance?

RB18!

Perez is closing in on Sainz! Perez is pulling Bottas away!

Because of Sainz's mistakes at turns 14 and 15, his lead over Perez was already very small when he entered the DRSE zone.

This time, Perez can attack on the straightaway!

Should Perez attack? Yes, he should!

After several laps, it was clear that the opportunity for Perez to overtake two cars at once was very rare, so Perez ultimately decided to overtake one car at a time.

Although surpassing Sainz might mean facing a pincer attack from both Tontner and Sainz, as long as he can find an opportunity to surpass Tontner, the sky's the limit!

Finding an opportunity to overtake Tanger while being attacked from both sides is much easier than finding an opportunity to get past Sainz in a one-two pass from behind!

So Perez attacked!

But Sainz won't sit idly by!

Sainz changed lanes early, taking up the side of the line closer to the inside of Turn 17.

Perez had no choice but to move his head closer to the outside.

Can Perez overtake Sainz before Turn 17?

Just a little bit more!

Entering the corner...who can get the line...Perez was forced off the track by Sainz!

Perez angrily complained in TR, "This is definitely a violation!"

FIA: "Compliance defense, no investigation required."

Exiting Turn 17, past the Dr.S.R. testing line, Sainz has Dr.S.R.R., Perez has Dr.S.R.R., and Bottas also has Dr.S.R.R.R.

After passing through the DRRS activation point, Sainz activates DRRS, Perez activates DRRS, and Bottas activates DRRS.

This time, neither of them can catch up with the other.

Sainz and Perez's wheel-to-wheel shift at Turn 17 nearly caused Sainz to fall out of Taunter's Dresden zone and Perez to lose 0.4 seconds. One Dresden zone wasn't enough to erase their loss, let alone catch up with the car in front.

Bottas did benefit from the situation, just like Tontatta, but his car was the slowest. He was lucky if Perez didn't pull ahead of him, let alone dream of catching up with the car in front.

After Turn 8, the Dr.S. zone is still a stalemate; after Turn 16, the Dr.S. zone is still a stalemate...

After driving around the Drs high-speed rail for more than a lap, we returned to the Drs zone after Turn 16. This time, Sainz had an attacking opportunity, and Perez also had an attacking opportunity.

But Sainz did not attack.

After running two laps on the Drs high-speed rail, Sainz figured it out: as long as he overtook Toncher, Toncher would immediately let Perez go and fight him, which would be a case of the two fighting like the snipe and the clam, while Toncher would reap the benefits.

If things continue like this, it will likely turn into a vicious cycle of "Sainz overtakes Tontard - Tontard lets Perez pass - Sainz and Perez battle it out - Tontard reaps the benefits and overtakes Perez and then Sainz - Sainz overtakes Tontard"... What the hell is the point of that except for racking up overtaking counts?

Unless Perez overtakes Tontard first, even if Tontard lets Sainz pass, Sainz, whose car is at a disadvantage in performance, may not be able to keep up with Perez. Therefore, there will be no scenario where Perez and Sainz fight each other while Tontard benefits.

But is it possible? Not to mention that Tontatta will do everything in his power to prevent Perez from gaining a positional advantage, Sainz will not allow himself to be pulled away by Perez!

If Perez dares to attempt a one-two pass, Sainz will be willing to help defend Perez with Tontard!

Isn't this just another case of Sainz and Perez fighting over a clam while Tontatta benefits from the fisherman's catch?

Yes, but Sainz had no other options!

If Sainz surpasses Tontard, Tontard will let Perez pass and fight him, then reap the benefits; if Sainz doesn't surpass Tontard, Perez will try to get past both of them, and Sainz can't tolerate Perez getting past both of them, so they will inevitably fight again, and Tontard will still reap the benefits.

Since Taunter would benefit regardless of whether Sainz surpasses him or not, Sainz would rather not surpass him. That way, if Sainz loses in a fight with Perez, Taunter can still push Perez back. Even if he can't push Perez back, at least it will buy Sainz some time.

Furthermore, the Alfa Toli team, where Tontatta plays, is not a championship contender, so Tontatta's presence in front of Sainz does not affect the overall championship race, which Sainz can accept.

Perez did not attack from behind Sainz.

What Sainz can understand, Perez can also understand, so Perez will not take action unless he has absolute certainty of winning once or twice.

Clearly, racing is more than just racing; strategy is also extremely important!

A race car driver who doesn't use his brain will be a complete _____ his whole life.

Tanger, Sainz, and Perez were back in that bizarre situation from the start of the match.

Can't Bottas break the deadlock later?

It can't be broken! You don't have the ability to know that!

With Tontard, Sainz, and Perez not battling, Bottas was consistently pulled away, both in the DRS area and in the consecutive corners, and had no chance to advance.

This time, the deadlock may not be broken until the tires are changed.

According to the official pit stop strategy, the pit stop window for starting on yellow tires is between laps 12 and 19.
