How did I become an F1 driver?

Chapter 125 Chapter 123: Chopping Melons and Vegetables (6000 words, plus 313 more)

This was Qin Miao's first time running a sprint race, and it was also the first time he started in traffic. A normal driver would feel a little nervous in the current situation.

But there seems to be a switch on Qin Miao's body, as soon as he enters the racing car, all the negative emotions on his body will disappear invisible.

So Qin Miao is not nervous at this time, but still eager to face the challenge.

The state of the whole person is also unspeakably good.

At this time, Qin Miao had already added a buff to his car. To be honest, after adding the buff, Qin Miao thought of Zhou Guanyu from yesterday.

For a moment, Qin Miao also wanted to try whether this buff of hers could be added to Zhou Guanyu's car, but it was obviously not possible today, because the race was about to start, but if there was a chance, she could definitely try it.

With the end of the warm-up lap, Qin Miao gradually got rid of the messy thoughts in his mind, and slowly parked his car in his own grid.

At this time, Qin Miao's front left is Ilott, and the front is Armstrong.

Behind them are Panasonic and Nice, but these two are not very important, because Qin Miao has a 90% possibility of throwing these two unlucky people away after starting
In the preparation stage, Qin Miao set a small goal for herself, and got two positions by starting.

Amidst the roar of the engine, five red lights lit up one by one.

And these five red lights are like the feet of the drivers stepping on the accelerator. The more they are lit, the more intense the roar of the engine will be.

The moment the red light came on, it went out, and all the cars started immediately.

Qin Miao became the one with the fastest start among the drivers again, and Qin Miao's soft tires were fully warmed up by the sufficient grinding of the tire warming lap.

In addition, everyone except Qin Miao used hard tires, so the grip of Qin Miao's set of soft tires can be said to be the best in the audience.

Naturally, it was stronger than Ilot and Armstrong in front of him.

A perfect start, plus a softer tire with more grip.

Qin Miao approached the two at a speed visible to the naked eye amidst the roar of the engine after the start phase was completed, and completed the tap on Ilott under the starting indicator light.

On the uphill before entering T1, Qin Miao completed the feat of one over two with a perfect start.

Because everyone knows that Qin Miao has potential and talent, and he is using a set of soft tires today, so even if the official F2 director knows that at this time, more shots should be given to those young drivers, but he still bears it. I couldn't help being curious about how many cars Qin Miao, who started with soft tires, could overtake in the initial stage, so the rebroadcast shot directly gave Qin Miao a close-up.

"Oh!! Qin Miao got off to a good start!" After the sprint race started, Brother Fei couldn't help but exclaimed when he saw Qin Miao's perfect start: "Tap! Got it!"

"First and second! Qin Miao is so beautiful!" Brother Bing couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Only Zhou Haoran analyzed rationally: "Qin Miao started perfectly and with a set of brand new red tires, it is not incomprehensible to finish one over two, but one thing to say, this overtaking is really beautiful."

And the two unlucky guys who were overtaken looked at the red Pirelli letters on Qin Miao's tires that turned into a red circle under the rapid rotation, and they didn't have any temper at all.

fight?What do you use to fight this pervert?Yesterday's game has fully proved that he and this pervert are not creatures of the same dimension at all.

And Qin Miao was a tester of the Ferrari simulator before participating in F2, and none of them, young drivers trained by Ferrari, wanted to get that position.

Because with that position you get a lot of time with Binotto and the Ferrari F1 team engineers, and being able to drive the F1 cars on the simulator.

Driving an F1 car on a simulator is secondary to the chance to get to know Binotto and the Ferrari F1 team's engineers.

But to obtain this position requires sufficient strength and understanding of racing.

They are naturally not qualified as youth players.

So before Qin Miao entered F2, they vaguely guessed that Qin Miao's strength might be beyond their imagination.

But at that time, they were just guessing, and no one had really competed with Qin Miao on the field.

Then a test within the Ferrari youth training was like a big slap that woke up all the Ferrari youth training drivers.

On that day, they realized that there are people beyond people, and there is a sky beyond the sky, which also gave them a concrete understanding of Qin Miao's strength.

The first time they were born and the second time they were familiar, they may still be a little unconvinced when they were beaten by Qin Miao for the first time, but after being crushed by Qin Miao in the main match in Austria for the second time, they basically had nothing to do with Qin Miao in their hearts. The idea of ​​continuing to fight.

So much so that now, the two of them didn't even take a symbolic defensive move, they let Qin Miao out directly, like a slow train giving way to a fast train.

After being overtaken, the two of them had no complaints at all, and ran at their own pace honestly.

Traffic enters T1.

Since Qin Miao started from the inside, after overtaking, she naturally went on the inside lane.

In front of Qin Miao was Long Jiade. Due to the chaotic start, this person was also squeezed into the inside lane, and Long Jiade and Tiktum entered T1 wheel-to-wheel, so in T1, Qin Miao All overtaking lanes are blocked.

But Qin Miao is not in a hurry. There are 28 laps in the race, and this is just the beginning.

However, Qin Miao leaned to the left as much as possible before exiting the bend, and took a wider exit route.

Qin Miao's main reason for doing this is to gain a faster relative speed in the next big straight compared to Longard who was squeezed inside.

In addition, after exiting the corner, Qin Miao can absorb the wake of Longgarde to accelerate, so Qin Miao has a chance to attack Longgarde on the straight before entering T3.

Out of T1, Qin Miao gained a relative speed of nearly 10 kilometers per hour by relying on stronger tire grip and better cornering control than Longard.

However, because Qin Miao just entered the corner and took a wider line, Long Jiade opened up a gap of at least 0.3 seconds with Qin Miao at the exit stage.

Fortunately, Qin Miao's soft tires are indeed much better than Longard's hard tires in terms of grip and speed, and they have been rapidly narrowing the gap between the two. At the current speed, Qin Miao is entering Tapping can be done before T3.

But when he entered T2, Long Jiade, who knew that his speed was not as fast as Qin Miao, took the outside defense of T2.

Although taking the outside line of T2 will definitely allow Qin Miao to complete the tap early in the T2 stage, but after entering T3, he has an inside advantage and can rely on late braking to complete the defense.

However, he somewhat overestimated his ability to control the distance, and underestimated the grip of Qin Miao's soft tires and Qin Miao's ability to control the car.

The two entered the corner one after the other, and Qin Miao knew that the other party was going to brake late, so she didn't cut the corner directly, leaving the inside line to the other party, while she took the outside line again and used the wider line to accelerate.

When passing here, the operation is even a lot easier than T1.

Because at this time Qin Miao gained half a body advantage over Longard in T2, even though Longard stood on the inside line and braked late to block his optimal corner exit line, he even briefly overtook after exiting the corner Two-thirds of Qin Miao's body.

But in the following straight, Qin Miao took advantage of the soft tires and his faster relative speed to regain the advantage, and completed the overtaking on the straight before entering T4.

So far, the sprint race has only run three corners, and Qin Miao has already overtaken three cars and is currently ranked fifth.

And this crazy overtaking scene really shocked the three five-star sports commentators.

In addition to them, there are also spectators watching this F2 race through Five Star Sports.

In the past, they basically didn't pay much attention to the F2 race, because the news of Qin Miao's victory in the F2 race yesterday was on the hot searches of major social platforms, so there was a lot of interest in F2 in China for a while. audience.

In addition, the start time of this F2 sprint race is just before the start of the F1 race. Those spectators who were going to watch the F1 race in front of the TV conveniently regarded this race as an appetizer before F1.

It's just that for many domestic car fans, this appetizer is a bit tough, and Qin Miao's performance exceeded everyone's imagination and expectations.

[Fuck?Even if Qin Miao is fierce for a long distance, is his overtaking ability so fierce? 】

[I really like a sentence from a CSGO player: Huh? 】

[After only running three corners, I overtook three cars. Where did this monster come from? 】

【Is this a Chinese driver?I'm not dreaming, am I?]

【Qin Miao!I drop Superman! 】

[Xiao Qin, come on! 】

……

In addition to these compatriots who cared about Qin Miao, many people also paid close attention to Qin Miao's performance today.

If it is said that Qin Miao in the race stage yesterday only paid attention to Binotto who knew Qin Miao thoroughly, then after Qin Miao finished the game with that kind of dominant performance yesterday, Toto of Mercedes, Huo Tuo of Red Bull Na, the leaders of the two major teams also began to be interested in this young man who turned out to be born.

And took the time to watch the sprint.

Of course, because of Qin Miao's Ferrari youth training background, they still have the mentality of looking at the young talents cultivated by their competitors at this time.

On the field, Qin Miao also lost a lot of speed because of the fight with Long Jiade, and the four people in front also opened up some distance from Qin Miao.

However, this distance is not too far, the top two drivers are only 0.8 seconds away from Qin Miao, but Drugovich and the second ranked Dreetraz did not get into a fight. Among them, he has already run away.

Qin Miao was not very anxious about this.

After all, he knew that he could run faster than them even if he was in a safe state. As long as he surpassed the two people in front of him, he could start slowly chasing the first and second in front.

At the end of the first lap, Ma Zeping had to stop to replace the car's nose due to car damage. On the same lap, French driver Ales also had a damaged nose.

Coming to T1 again, Qin Miao handled T10 better than Tiktum. Coupled with the blessing of Qin Miao's soft tires, although he was still 0.4 seconds behind Tiktum after exiting the corner, but Qin Miao had already tapped the inside line when he ran the entire starting straight.

If this posture continues normally, Qin Miao can brake in the evening of T1 and rush into the corner in front of Tiktum to complete the pass.

The director also showed the camera to Qin Miao, the only one who participated in the competition with soft tires today.

"Qin Miao! Enter the inside line!" Brother Bing became inexplicably excited after seeing this scene.

"Got it?!"

Although Tiktum knew Qin Miaoqiang, he really didn't want to give up his position so easily.

So he made a change-of-line defense toward the inside.

It is allowed to change the defensive line during the game, but it is not allowed to draw dragons.

It means that there can only be one line change during the defense process, and no repeated line changes.

And when Tiktum changed lanes, Qin Miao had already pulled his head. There was no way to switch to the inside lane when the opponent changed to the outside lane, so Qin Miao could only be forced to go to the dirty side of the track.

The reason why it is called the dirty side is actually some places on the track where the cars don’t often pass by. Because there are few cars going to these places during the race, there will be a lot of fallen tire rubber accumulated.

The racing car will be a little bumpy when passing by, and such bumps will affect the smoothness of the engine's power output to a certain extent, which will naturally reduce the speed of the car and reduce the grip.

But it was only the second lap at the start of the race, and there was not much tire rubber on the dirty side, so Qin Miao's speed basically remained the same.

Fortunately, the opponent only forced Qin Miao to the outside line briefly, and did not really push Qin Miao out of the track.

The penalty in F2 is still relatively strict. If Qin Miao is really squeezed out, it is very likely that Tiktum will receive a five-second penalty.

And Qin Miao's tires are better than his, and the relative speed is faster than him, so before he can make any further moves, Qin Miao has already surpassed before entering T1.

However, because Qin Miao was forced to the outside line, the angle of entering T1 was not very good. In desperation, he had to brake early to enter the corner.

Although the overtaking was still completed, the three cars in front had already separated by at least 1 second.

But despite this, no one could fault Qin Miao's performance. In just one lap, he rushed from eighth to fourth, taking four positions in one lap.

This overtaking efficiency is quite similar to Qin Miao driving the Mercedes while everyone else is driving Arrow.

However, Qin Miao had just started chasing the three cars in front, and as soon as he entered T3, the race meeting showed a yellow flag, and then the yellow flag turned into a safety car.

When the camera turned around, there was a wave of white smoke at the corner exit of T1. Looking carefully, it was a pink Force India racing car. The back of the engine was already on fire. Although the engine had automatically extinguished the fire, the car obviously had no way to return to the entrance of Matthew. Yes, so the race will deploy the safety car.

The dispatch of the safety car is definitely good news for Qin Miao, because he doesn't have to continue chasing the three cars in front, and he can easily catch up with them in the safety car queue.

Moreover, the wear and tear on Qin Miao's soft tires will also be reduced after these few laps. At first, Qin Miao was worried that the degradation of the tires would exceed his expectations if he overtook those drivers, but now that the safety car came out, Qin Miao did not concerns about this.

From the second lap to the fourth lap, the safety roof light went out and was about to enter the station.

However, less than half a minute after the dome lights of the safety car went out, another yellow flag appeared on the track. Greer of the DAMS team rushed out of the track under the leadership of the safety car, and the director did not show him rushing out for a while. .

After Qin Miao found out that the dome light of the safety car had gone out, she was preparing to rush again, but the dome light on the front of the car turned on again after a while.

In desperation, Qin Miao followed the safety car for an extra lap.

At the end of the fifth lap, the dome lights on the safety car went out again, and the race was about to restart.

Drugovich, who ranked first, was not as strong and confident as Qin Miao, so he deliberately slowed down the speed after the safety car pulled out.

Then the big straight before entering T9 began to accelerate.

At this time, Qin Miao didn't do anything deliberately, just ran normally.

At this time, Qin Miao is equivalent to saving three tires. At this time, Qin Miao no longer has a sense of urgency.

Qin Miao knows that relying on his own strength and the set of soft tires on the racing car, it is no problem to chase from the eighth all the way to the first place, but after getting the first place, the wear of the tires may exceed his control.

No matter how much you keep the tires, there is a high possibility that the tires will not be enough in the last few laps.

So Qin Miao rushed so hard in the front lap because he wanted to quickly overtake the car in front, get the leading position as soon as possible, and start to save the tire.

Because the longer you stay behind, the more worn Qin Miao's tires will be.

But now it's different, once the safety car comes out, Qin Miao's tires can at least allow him to run 3 more laps on the track, and he doesn't have to worry that the tires will not be enough for the whole race.

So in the following period of time, Qin Miao was very calm, and silently waited for the safety car to return to the station and the DRS to turn on.

After the DRS is turned on, Qin Miao doesn't even need to push too hard. Under normal running conditions, he can rely on the acceleration advantages of DRS and soft tires to easily overtake the three people in front.

On the 6th and 7th laps, Qin Miao was on the verge of buddha, and did not attack Alessi in front of him, but just hanged behind Alessi's car with a gap of 0.4 seconds to put pressure on him.

At this time, Alessi really wanted to scold his mother, because he couldn't do lap time properly now.

Qin Miao proved to everyone in F2 with his dominant performance in the race yesterday that he has the ability to protect tires and the long-distance race.

Today, he proved his offensive ability to everyone with the amazing performance of two laps of super four cars.

This can be seen on the surface, but the ability that Qin Miao can't see secretly is not much worse than the first two.

That is the ability to exert pressure.

It may be difficult for you to quantify this ability, because you are not a driver on the field, and you have no way to feel that you can see Qin Miao’s car in the rearview mirror during the race. And it has always been 0.5 seconds gap, but if you make a little mistake, the 0.5 seconds gap will be shortened to 0.5, or 0.4 that kind of terrifying pressure.

Especially as long as the opponent surpasses you, you will lose the podium opportunity that you have finally obtained, and the pressure will increase exponentially.

This is how Alessi feels now. The pressure Qin Miao puts on him is infinite, and he knows that whenever he makes a mistake, Qin Miao will catch him and surpass him in an instant.

Alessi, who was in such a high-pressure state, naturally couldn't drive properly, and his speed dropped drastically. Most of his attention was not spent on the track, but on defending Qin Miao.

Seeing that the gap between the first and the second gradually widened, Qin Miao also knew that he could no longer tease the unlucky guy in front of him. If he continued to play, this guy might not be able to bear the pressure and cause a track accident. Miao is also happy to see it, but as a person with normal three views, Qin Miao still does not want his colleagues to have accidents on the field, so when passing T3, Qin Miao forced the inside line to complete the overtake.

Instead, he began to chase the first and second who were already 1.7 seconds away from him.

Seeing Qin Miao take away his position on the podium, Alessife did not feel any dissatisfaction, but heaved a long sigh of relief. This guy finally left.

And it wasn't until this time that he realized that Qin Miao was using soft tires in the sprint race.

He also understood why Qin Miao, who won the race championship and started from eighth, was able to chase all the way to third. Thinking of Qin Miao's red tires that ran 29 laps in the race, Alessi sighed and was convinced. .

After being overtaken by Qin Miao, Alessi tried to follow behind Qin Miao to see if he could use Qin Miao's wake and DRS to get closer to the two drivers in front.

Although Qin Miao surpassed him, he was convinced, but it was a bit regrettable and unhappy that Alessi was gone from the podium.

However, in the race, Qin Miao deliberately used the method of protecting the fetus to prepare for Zhou Guanyu's wake and DRS. At that time, Zhou Guanyu could not catch up with Qin Miao who was protecting the fetus, let alone weaker than Zhou Guanyu. Alessi is a little bit behind, not to mention that Qin Miao is in a state of normal lap speed, and Alessi can't keep up.

He could only watch desperately as Qin Miao opened up a little distance from him at every corner, and after three or four corners, Qin Miao was simply thrown out of the DRS area by Qin Miao.

"Beautiful! Qin Miao surpassed Alessi and came to the third place!" In the five-star sports, the three commentators explained that it was really a drill bit at this time--their eyes were wide open.

They had hoped that one day an official Chinese driver would appear in the F1 arena. Originally they were expecting Zhou Guanyu, and Zhou Guanyu did have the ability to become an official F1 driver.

Whether it's car skills or money,

And because of the domestic environment, their pursuit is only to have an official F1 Chinese driver appear on the F1 field. They never thought that one day, there would be a Chinese driver on the field, and they would dominate the field with their own strength. contemporary.

Overtaking in a field like F2, where everyone drives a standard car, is like finding something out of a bag, which is easy and comfortable.

And today they saw it, what can they say?

Just like Qin Miao received the money from the system for the first time, the fun is over!

ps. Special thanks: the rewards from the watermelon, grape and cantaloupe masters.

I owe more and more...
