However, Mick Schumacher's car was directly split into two, with the fuel tank already exposed, and there was a possibility of fuel leakage.

For this reason, Mick's car couldn't remain there, as responsibility had to be ensured for Matthew working on-site and the fans outside the track.

If the car caught fire by any chance, it would become extremely difficult to extinguish.

So Qin Miao judged that there was a high possibility that the FIA would deploy the red flag and have Mick's car wreck removed.

And the only place to remove Mick's wreckage from was the track itself.

This was indeed the case; after running four laps under the safety car, the race reached lap 30, and the race was suspended with a red flag.

After returning to the pit lane, Qin Miao actually wanted to change to a new set of tires like most of the other drivers.

But at this point, Qin Miao's garage only had one new set of hard tires and one new set of soft tires; there were no new medium tires.

Qin Miao did consider whether to switch to a set of soft tires at this time.

However, after he proposed this idea, it was quickly vetoed by Reyes and Frankie together.

Although there were no new medium tires available for Qin Miao to use, the set of medium tires on Qin Miao's car had only covered a few laps, mostly running behind the safety car, so the tire wear was almost negligible.

So, there was no need to replace these tires at all, and the team had also simulated that in the upcoming race, Qin Miao could complete the whole race on this set of medium tires.

As for the soft tires... with Qin Miao's ability to conserve tires, he could indeed complete the full race with a bit of care.

After all, if soft tires were used to finish this race, their wear would be extremely high, and there was even a risk of a blowout.

Therefore, the team believed that Qin Miao didn't need to take such a risk, and could simply and safely complete the race.

In the end, Qin Miao was also persuaded by the team and chose not to change tires, opting instead to continue using the old set of medium tires, waiting for the race to restart.

The red flag period wasn't long this time, lasting only 20 minutes.

After all, moving Mick Schumacher's car and repairing the barriers on the track didn't take much time.

However, after the red flag ended, as it was necessary to clear the slow cars, and the exit of the pit lane of the Monte Carlo circuit in Monaco was too narrow, Qin Miao's car sitting at the exit completely blocked it.

Therefore, the FIA couldn't directly clear the slow cars at the pit lane exit.

So after the red flag, there was no static start, as a safety car led them out to run two laps.

During this process, slow cars were untied.

When it reached lap 53, all untangled slow cars returned to the back of the pack, and the race restarted.

Due to the introduction of a rule during the safety car that the car behind wasn't allowed to overtake the diffuser of the car in front, Qin Miao made no mistakes from the start to the next corner, T1, after the race restarted.

However, from lap 32 until lap 40, Leclerc behind Qin Miao tried his best to attack Qin Miao.

But honestly, Qin Miao's defensive ability combined with the advantageous terrain.

Leclerc's attack seemed somewhat like a desperate struggle.

From lap 36, the race entered the final countdown.

Because an F1 race has a time limit; once the time exceeds a certain point, the remaining laps won't be completed but will become a time limit.

And because this race had two red flags, this rule was invoked.

When the race reached lap 36, the remaining 41 laps weren't run but were turned into a 35-minute countdown.

Once the 35-minute countdown ended, the race would directly finish at that lap.

Leclerc's attack on Qin Miao ended when there were 15 minutes left on the countdown.

Because Leclerc's tires developed graining and wore excessively due to his continuous attacks.

Actually, during this process, Leclerc used every attacking maneuver he had learned on Qin Miao.

But Qin Miao defused them one by one, and Leclerc even tried to attack Qin Miao when avoiding slow cars in front.

However, Qin Miao's experience and skills in defense were too strong, easily neutralizing all of Leclerc's attacking maneuvers.

The final segment of the race turned into a traditional feature of the Monte Carlo circuit in Monaco.

The later stages of the race didn't stir up any waves.

Ultimately, Qin Miao won the Monaco Grand Prix showdown title with his terrifying defensive ability, snatched from the Ferrari drivers.

Meanwhile, Leclerc also broke his home jinx of always retiring and even made it to the podium this race.

Just that not winning the championship at his home race was still somewhat regrettable for Leclerc.

Of course, it's not entirely Leclerc's fault.

Moreover, knowing that Qin Miao was the one who won the race meant that, despite feeling very regretful, Leclerc accepted it.

After the qualifying session, Leclerc watched Qin Miao's fastest flying lap replay.

Besides being surprised by Hamilton intentionally giving Qin Miao a tow, the quality and boldness of Qin Miao's flying lap left Leclerc in awe.
