How did I become an F1 driver?

Chapter 132 Chapter 130: Another Champion (8K words, plus 1122)

After the award is over.Qin Miao was naturally dragged to Ferrari's P room to watch the qualifying.

It is worth mentioning that after the turn of F1 qualifying, the rain on the track, which was slightly less, began to increase again.

So the official can only let the team's drivers and staff wait in the P room, and wait until the conditions on the track are better before releasing the car.

During this period of time, the director must not let the screen be idle, so the broadcast screen is basically in the team's P room, and the faces of the drivers are switched from one to another.

At this time, the director gave the picture to Ferrari's P room.

Coincidentally, Qin Miao was in Ferrari's P room, and unlike the VIP audience, Qin Miao sat directly next to Vettel.

Sitting in such a position that countless fans would envy, Qin Miao did not do what fans would do: chat with Vettel and ask for an autograph.

He is like a social animal fishing at work, with his head down, wearing noise-cancelling headphones, and he is listening to music and reading novels directly in Ferrari's P room.

When the director gave the camera to Qin Miao, he also thoughtfully gave Qin Miao's name and the information that Qin Miao is currently ranked first in the F2 standings at the bottom of the screen.

Although Qin Miao's approach is normal, after all, everyone is waiting for the restart of the game.

However, playing on mobile phones in an environment where everyone works in the Ferrari P room, Qin Miao did not give a good first impression to many viewers who did not know Qin Miao.

However, Qin Miao's shot only flashed by, at most five seconds.

Instead, the three commentators who were bored in the five-star sports discussed the messages in the paddock after seeing the picture of Qin Miao in the Ferrari P room.

In the paddock recently, rumors that Qin Miao was signed by Ferrari after his career debut have been rampant, and it has been passed down to a decent level, and now it is only a confirmation from an official.

But the discussion soon set the tone, with the trio agreeing that it was unlikely to happen.

Because Ferrari has never promoted drivers directly from its own youth training system to the first team.

Stronger than Leclerc also experienced Arrow for a year. After Arrow performed well and made sure that he is not a driver who can only drive F2, he was promoted from Arrow to Ferrari.

And he, Qin Miao, is indeed a bit dominant in F2, but no one is sure whether Qin Miao can only drive F2.

It is unlikely that such a conservative team as Ferrari will take the risk of directly promoting Qin Miao to the first team.

The audience listened to the analysis of the three commentators, and felt that what they said was very reasonable. According to Ferrari's pissing nature, no one in the upper management wanted to take responsibility, so everything was based on safety, and there were basically no radicals.

So in the end, it was concluded that it was impossible for Ferrari to sign Qin Miao in such a short period of time.

But Qin Miao's current performance in F2 is indeed obvious to all. Run for a while to see Qin Miao's strength and stability. After confirming that there is no problem, the audience will start to guess which F1 team Qin Miao is most likely to be in addition to Ferrari. The team is under the command of income.

Let's ignore the hustle and bustle outside the stadium.

After qualifying started, Qin Miao also put away his mobile phone and entered the normal state of observation. He was mainly watching how Vettel drove the F1 car in the rainstorm. Driving F1 in the rain What are the specific differences from driving F2 in rainy days? It also depends on Vettel's choice of braking points.

There is one thing to say, being able to watch the data while watching the drivers driving on the track in the team's P room can indeed bring a lot of inspiration to Qin Miao and learn a lot of new things.

He stayed in the Ferrari P room until the end of qualifying in the maintenance area. In the end, the old man got the pole position, Pan Zi was second, and McLaren's Sainz Jr. was third.

Ferrari's Leclerc was eliminated in Q2. Although Vettel entered Q3, he only ranked tenth.

However, seeing this result, Qin Miao did not have much psychological fluctuations. After all, at this time, the intersection between him and Ferrari is not too deep, and there is no way to form empathy for the poor performance of this game.

Qin Miao waited in room P until Vettel came back, greeted him and left.

After all, the atmosphere in the Ferrari P room is not very good at the moment, and Qin Miao also knows that it is not suitable for her to stay here for a long time.

And the next period of time is the time for Ferrari's internal meeting. Although Qin Miao is now a member of Ferrari, Qin Miao doesn't really want to participate in this kind of meeting.

After returning to the team, Qin Miao still had work.

After returning to Prema, Qin Miao had a routine meeting with other team members.

The main topic is the performance of the two drivers on the track and the focus of the team's work in the future.

Although Qin Miao's performance in the race this time is definitely not bad, but Luo Xin asked Qin Miao to go to his office after the meeting. Qin Miao, who was already going back to the hotel to rest, naturally had no choice but to go to the appointment. After all, Rosin was his immediate boss.

Rosin's office is located in the place where Red Bull Ring officially parks the RV for the F2 team, and Rosin's office is a truck container, but the interior decoration is much better than those container houses.

After arriving, Qin Miao knocked on the door of Luo Xin's office, and waited for the sound to come from inside before Qin Miao opened the door and went in.

At this time, Luo Xin was not working, but was sitting on the reception sofa in his office drinking coffee. There was also a cup of undrinked coffee on the table. If there is no accident, this cup should be prepared for Qin Miao. of.

Seeing Qin Miao coming in, Luo Xin pointed to the place where the coffee was placed and said, "Sit down."

Qin Miao sat down as she said, but Qin Miao felt a little unusual from Luo Xin's attitude today. Today, Luo Xin lost the amiability when talking to him in the past, and there was a touch of it that Qin Miao didn't feel before. Been serious.

"Okay." After replying, Qin Miao sat down obediently, even because she realized that the atmosphere was not right, she subconsciously didn't dare to sit on her buttocks, and only dropped half of her buttocks on the sofa.

Luo Xin didn't notice Qin Miao's actions, and after Qin Miao sat down, he said directly, "I think you can guess the reason why I came to you, so I won't keep it to myself."

"Did you let the water go in the last few laps of the race?" Luo Xin had a very serious expression when he said this, with a sense of asking for guilt.

After thinking for a while, Qin Miao did not choose to hide it, but said frankly: "That's right, it was indeed leaking water."

After getting the answer he wanted, Luo Xin scratched his hair, with helplessness written all over his face.

The stern expression he deliberately put on to put pressure on Qin Miao couldn't hold back at all. Originally, he just wanted Qin Miao to admit that he had let go.

Normal drivers on the field, no matter how good the relationship with the drivers in front of them is, they usually should attack and overtake if they want to overtake, but Qin Miao is lucky, he actually deliberately put people in trouble during the race.

You said that it would make sense for Qin Miao to slander the players of the same team as himself, but the key target of shaming is the driver of the opponent team, and the reason is only because he has a better personal relationship with Qin Miao.

Although Qin Miao alone now has more points than the two drivers of their entire team combined, the opponent is an opponent after all.

Qin Miao's way of giving water to the opponent's driver is considered an enemy, and he would be pulled out and shot in wartime.

"Although the relationship between Zhou Guanyu and you is very good, you must know that this is the racing field and the drivers' war. Even if you have obtained the Ferrari driver contract now, if your performance in F2 is not good enough, Ferrari's The higher-ups feel that you are not suitable for the position of the official driver. There are countless team drivers in the paddock who want to drive for Ferrari instead, and your one-year contract is completely painless for Ferrari. There is no guarantee, after finding out that you are not good enough, they can put you aside as a reserve driver, and then find another driver who is better than you to take your place." Luo Xin saw Qin Miao's nonchalant expression However, he still couldn't help but open his mouth to persuade him.

Qin Miao didn't care about this at all. Just kidding, my buddy has a system, top-notch tire protection ability, and such a good driving skill. There is no possibility of poor performance in the subsequent competitions.

As soon as Luo Xin saw Qin Miao's performance, he knew that the other party didn't listen to his teachings.

He has seen many talented drivers, and some of them are even more proud than Qin Miao, but their pride will be beaten to pieces by reality after hitting a wall.

But Qin Miao is different, because Qin Miao is more talented than any genius Luo Xin has seen in the past few years. He seems to have been born just to eat the rice of racing.

This is no longer a matter of God appreciating the food or God chasing the food. In Luo Xin's view, Qin Miao is the god of the racing industry, and he is God on the field.

People like Qin Miao are basically unlikely to hit a wall on the road of racing, and it is impossible to use the bloody lessons given by reality to make Qin Miao restrain his aloof character.

And Luo Xin knew that in the process of getting along with others in the future, Qin Miao's popularity in the paddock and the public's reputation would definitely not be too good.

So Luo Xin wanted to persuade Qin Miao, taking advantage of his young age, his way of thinking has not yet solidified, although he also knew that the probability of people like Qin Miao listening to his advice was very small, but as Qin Miao's immediate boss, Luo Xin felt that I still have the obligation to give Qin Miao a hand when he is about to float away.

It's just obvious that I can't hold back...

After listening to Luo Xin's words, Qin Miao's expression was very serious: "Okay, I will pay attention to it in the future."

Rosin: ...

By betting 50, Qin Miao was perfunctory.

Seeing that the persuasion was useless, Rosin sighed and changed the topic again, this time mainly talking about the possibility of reconciliation between the two drivers of the Prema team.

But Luo Xin also knows that it is useless to solve the problems in this area. Qin Miao is honest with all the young drivers of the Ferrari Driver Academy.

I can't say I hate it, I can only say that Qin Miao ignored all the drivers of Ferrari's youth training equally, as if Qin Miao was not a member of the Ferrari Driver Academy.

On the contrary, Qin Miao has a good relationship with the drivers of Red Bull Youth Training and Renault Youth Training.

Lawson, Ferrari's youth training director, sometimes even wonders if Qin Miao is an undercover agent sent by another team...

After listening to Luo Xin's words, Qin Miao also seriously stated that she had realized her mistake and admitted her own shortcomings in this regard.

The attitude was very sincere, and Luo Xin couldn't find any faults, but Luo Xin didn't hear the guarantee from Qin Miao that he would correct it.

In short, the chat with Qin Miao this time ended with Qin Miao humbly accepting the criticism.

Luo Xin also knew that it was impossible for Qin Miao, who had been going smoothly all the way, to examine her own shortcomings before hitting a wall.

But the question now is, with Qin Miao's talent... when will he hit a wall?

……

On the way back to the hotel, Qin Miao met Mick Schumacher at the exit of the F2 parking area, and Mick even greeted Qin Miao on his own initiative.

"Hi, Qin Miao."

Mick even learned how to pronounce Chinese names, first reading the surname and then the first name.

But Qin Miao still ignored it directly, and plugged the earphones into his ears, but I didn't hear anything.

Only Mick Schumacher was left alone in embarrassment, but soon he returned to normal. After all, since Qin Miao entered the Ferrari youth training last year, not only Mick, but all the young drivers of Ferrari youth training knew that Qin Miao was what kind of person.

Although he is smiling and chatting with the staff on weekdays, his arrogance is deep in his bones, and he looks down on all the Ferrari youth training players equally.

Just like now, the members of Ferrari's youth training only pushed Qin Miao out once, and then Qin Miao ignored all Ferrari's youth training drivers from then on, and no one tried to persuade him.

Mick even heard that Lawson asked Binotto to talk to Qin Miao about this matter, but now it seems that the effect can't be said to be immediate, and it can be regarded as dispensable.

With a sigh, Mick also left.

I just don't know if the breath he let out is more remorse or something else.

……

Silent all night.

The next day Qin Miao still got up early, the weather finally cleared up today, and because the dry tires were not used much in the race, Qin Miao, who started from seventh today, still had a brand new set of soft tires for him to directly Run the whole race.

Of course, apart from the situation on the field, there is another piece of good news.

That is, a set of cosplay clothes that Qin Miao customized according to Qiumeng's figure in China last week arrived last night. The delivery address Qin Miao filled out at the time was the room where she stayed in the hotel. When she opened her phone today, she found that there was a hotel lobby manager in the text message. The message he sent to himself indicated that his courier had been collected by the front desk of the hotel, and he could pick it up at any time if he had time.

Thinking of Qiumeng wearing this suit and standing in front of her, Qin Miao couldn't help feeling hot inside.

Of course, Qin Miao would not forget about business, and after suppressing the throbbing in her heart, she began daily washing and training.

The best thing is to do something you love with your girlfriend with the joy of victory.

……

The starting order of today's sprint race is the flashback of yesterday's top eight. The specific starting order is as follows.

Row 1: Tiktum, Armstrong.

Row 2: Longard, Ilot.

Row 3: Mick Schumacher, Yuki Kakuda.

Row 4: Qin Miao, Zhou Guanyu.

As always, the tires of all racing cars are yellow hard tires, and when the director gave Qin Miao the perspective of the car, Qin Miao's set of red tires was so conspicuous.

Although no one discussed it on purpose, before the race started, the six drivers ahead of Qin Miao would look at Qin Miao's racing car through their rearview mirror intentionally or unconsciously.

They all knew that Qin Miao used red soft tires in the sprint race today as he did last week, and wanted to start eighth in the sprint race to win the championship.

Everyone unanimously wanted to create some obstacles for Qin Miao on his way forward.

Not for anything else, just upset.

Why don't you just rule the race, let's save some soup for the sprint race...

Soon, the five red lights went out, the sprint countdown began, and all the cars drove out of the parking position and entered the warm-up lap.

And Qin Miao also put buffs on his car while waiting for the red lights to go out at five stops.

Because of the red flag yesterday, Qin Miao put the buff on his car early. During the main race yesterday, the two-hour time limit for his skills almost passed.

So this time out of insurance considerations, Qin Miao buffed his car when he was about to start the tire warm-up lap.

This can minimize the loss of your own buff duration.

Soon, the 22 cars completed their warm-up laps and returned to the grid.

One radish and one pit, everyone parked their cars, and then five red lights came on one by one.

After a second, the five red lights went out!

The second F2 sprint race at the Red Bull Ring has officially started!
As if to vent all the grievances of yesterday, Qin Miao reacted very quickly at the start this time, and with some knowledge about starting from Vettel yesterday, Qin Miao's start this time was perfect.

The time from the red light to Qin Miao pressing the clutch will not exceed 0.2 seconds at most. The racing tires and the ground are kept at the limit coupling state. If there is more time, the rear wheels will slip, and if the speed is less, the speed will slow down. It's so perfect.

The most intuitive effect is that after the red light went out, Qin Miao quickly approached Kakuda Yuyi, and before reaching the finish line of the lap, Kakuda Yuyi, who was not very good at the start, completed the overtake , and continue to approach the vehicle in front.

Zhou Guanyu is also a chicken thief. He knew that Qin Miao's start was better than his own, so he didn't think about relying on the start to get the ranking. He followed Qin Miao's car honestly. After Qin Miao passed Kakuda Yuyi, Zhou Guanyu followed Qin Miao's car and Kakuda Yuyi completed the wheel-to-wheel.

Zhou Guanyu knew that it was impossible for Qin Miao, who was caught in the car formation, to get rid of him quickly. As long as he stayed behind Qin Miao's car, he would have many opportunities to pick up his wallet.

Before entering T1, Qin Miao surpassed his teammate Mick Schumacher by relying on his excellent start. There is no way, this buddy started worse than Yuki Kakuda, and it was only a matter of time before Qin Miao surpassed him.

Even when entering T1, Qin Miao kicked the late brake of the inside line and directly squeezed into Yilot's inside line roughly.

After that, there was nothing to say. Qin Miao entered Yilot's inside line and left the corner for Yilot with about 0.9 car body space.

It is almost like that if Yilot wants to take the corner with Qin Miao, he must ride the yellow sausage shoulder of T1.

If Yilot's driving skills are good enough, he can ride the curb side by side with Qin Miao to exit the corner, and rely on the wider track width to gain a faster relative speed than Qin Miao, and take advantage of the next straight road .

But if Ilott's driving skills are not good enough and his grasp of the distance is not so precise, he will subconsciously leave more space to prevent himself from hitting Qin Miao or let Qin Miao hit himself. The consequence is that Ilott’s left tire will fall off the yellow sausage shoulder, and it’s okay to scrape the chassis and the shoulder. The real trouble is that this driving method will make Ilott lose a lot of speed, and it may appear If the power output of the rear wheels is unstable, it may seriously cause the vehicle to lose control on the spot.

Of course it all depends on the driver's control over the car.

Although Ilott is not an F1 driver and does not have such terrifying adaptability and reaction ability, he is still considered the best among the F2 drivers.

After feeling that my position was not enough, I used the track directly and entered the escape route.

Originally, Qin Miao would have been fined for forcing people out of the track like this, but after Yilot left the track, everyone could see that the space left by Qin Miao was actually enough for a car to drive.

So after the tournament investigated, there was no movement.

And Yilot gave up the wheel-to-wheel with Qin Miao and entered the escape route, which naturally wasted a lot of time, and it was impossible to fight with Qin Miao again.

And all Qin Miao's operations were seen by Zhou Guanyu, who was closely behind Qin Miao. Seeing Qin Miao's operations, Zhou Guanyu couldn't help but secretly stunned: "Damn chicken, Qin Miao's control of the distance is really good!" God defying..."

Just like a replica of last week's sprint race, Qin Miao overtook three cars in a row with only one start, from seventh to fourth.

And because Zhou Guanyu had a clear understanding of his own and Qin Miao's strength, he honestly followed Qin Miao to pick up the wallet, and also rose three positions, from eighth to fifth.

However, there was an accident on the field at this time. Mick Schumacher's car rushed out of the track, and a yellow flag appeared at the T1 position.

According to the replay, the guy oversteered when the T1 corner was being fueled.

The reason for the skidding is obviously that the oil was rushed when exiting the corner, and the car was not rescued in time after the rear wheel spun, and it spun on the spot on the spot.

And after the gyro, Mick Schumacher's car stopped on the track and turned off, and he had no choice but to retire.

On the fourth lap, the competition opened the DRS limit, and Qin Miao also approached Armstrong in front of him.

'And Longard, who was originally on the third grid, surpassed his teammates and Tiktum very beautifully when the car formation entered the high-speed continuous corners of T5 and came to the first place.

It can be seen that he is in good condition today.

At the end of the fourth lap, Qin Miao took Armstrong lightly by relying on better corner exit and DRS after corner exit.

At that time, Armstrong was under a lot of pressure. When he saw that Qin Miao was out of the corner better than himself, he realized that he might be overtaken by Qin Miao in the straight. Choose to change the line defense.

It's just that he changed his line too early.

So when he turned right to defend, Qin Miao came to the outside line on the left.

No need to fight the brakes, relying on DRS and faster cornering speed, Qin Miao passed the whole car directly in the middle of the starting straight.

At this time, Zhou Guanyu also followed Qin Miao all the time. With DRS and wake, although he couldn't surpass Armstrong before entering the corner, Zhou Guanyu, who was on the outside line, fought hard on the brakes and exited the corner. Armstrong.

However, after Zhou Guanyu entered the long distance, it was already difficult to keep up with Qin Miao who was using soft tires. Now that he was delayed by Armstrong, Qin Miao simply threw Zhou Guanyu out of the DRS zone.

Afterwards, Tiktum and Longard were overtaken by Qin Miao on the starting straight of the sixth lap and the starting straight of the ninth lap respectively, relying on DRS.

Nine laps surpassed six people, and Qin Miao once again proved his terrifying strength on the field.

After Qin Miao surpassed Long Jiade and won the first place, Fei Ge, the commentator of Five Star Sports, commented: "I don't think I will ever get tired of watching Qin Miao's overtaking show on the F2 car. It's a pity that I can only sprint now." You can only see Qin Miao's overtaking during the race, and most of the time there are only seven cars for him to overtake..."

Brother Fei's speech really belonged to Versailles.

Qin Miao also got the fastest lap when chasing Long Jiade on the eighth lap.

After coming to the first place for a while, the game entered a rhythm familiar to domestic audiences. Qin Miao was alone in the front to protect the baby, and the director basically would not give Qin Miao any shots.

But at this time, the audience instead focused their attention on Zhou Guanyu, because there was really nothing interesting about Qin Miao.

However, Zhou Guanyu was indeed not as strong as Qin Miao. After reaching fourth with Qin Miao's wallet, he couldn't make any further progress, and remained in fourth for the entire race.

In the final race, under the leadership of Qin Miao, they crossed the line.

Qin Miao won the championship again. Behind him was Long Jiade who was pulled away by Qin Miao for 7 seconds, then Tiktum, and then Zhou Guanyu.

The top eight rankings and scores after the game are as follows:

1ts: Qin Miao: 17. (Sprint champion +15, fastest lap +2)

2ts: Longard: 12.

3ts: TikTum: 10
4ts: Zhou Guanyu: 8.

5ts: Ilot: 6.

6ts: Aitken: 4.

7ts: Gellar: 2.

8ts: Ma Zeping: 1.

Since then, the two F2 races at the Red Bull Ring have come to an end, and the next stop is Hungary next week.

After the two Red Bull Ring races, the F2 standings are as follows:

1ts: Qin Miao: 82.

2ts: Longard: 38.

3ts: Zhou Guanyu: 35.

4ts: Ilot: 34.

5ts: Tiktum: 32.

6ts: Armstrong: 21.

7ts: Drugovich: 16.

8ts: Drey Traz: 16.

9ts: Kakuda: 15.

10ts: Mick Schumacher: 14.

11ts: Alessi: 8.

12ts: Aitken: 7.

13ts: Panasonic: 6.

14ts: Gellar: 3.

15ts: Nice: 1.

16ts: Ma Zeping: 1.

Qin Miao has more points than Long Jiade and Zhou Guanyu combined.

Counting it, this is the fourth time Qin Miao has stood on the podium of the Red Bull Ring, three times champion and one runner-up.

Moreover, in all current F2 races, the championships are won by Chinese drivers.

Ruled belonged.

On the other side, everyone in the Prema team still excitedly came to the edge of the paddock and celebrated Qin Miao's victory by lying on the guardrail.

Everyone had satisfied smiles on their faces. Although Mick withdrew from the match, Qin Miao's performance was still so impressive.

Everyone was celebrating, but Rossin, the leader of the Prema team, had a somewhat sad look on his eyebrows while celebrating.

Could it be that the entire F2 really couldn't find anyone to fight against Qin Miao?

After that, things were simple. Qin Miao parked the car on the podium at the entrance of the maintenance area, cheered, hugged with the team staff, then accepted an interview, and finally received the award and played the national anthem.

Qin Miao is already familiar with this set of procedures.

After that, there is nothing to talk about. Today, Qin Miao did not continue to be dragged into the Ferrari P room. After all, there is still a race next week, and after the second Austrian Grand Prix, Qin Miao has to go back to the meeting to summarize, and In the following race, Ferrari will not have time to provide guidance to Qin Miao like a practice race.

Back in the team meeting room, Luo Xin naturally gave full affirmation to Qin Miao's performance in this competition. Everyone will praise Qin Miao's performance in the first grand prix race and the second sprint race.

As for Mick, he was still told a lesson, although the race went from No.12 to fourth all the way.

But Yu did not hide his flaws. In the sprint race T1, he oversteered and caused the gyro and further caused the car to stall. This incident was considered a very low-level mistake for the racer, and it was somewhat embarrassing.

After the meeting, Rosin arranged the rest time and assembly time for next week, and said when he would return to Vicenza and when he would go to Hungary.

After the meeting is over, everyone definitely doesn't want to stay in the hotel. They have lived here for almost half a month. Compared with the hotel here, Qin Miao misses her bed in Vicenza and Maranello more.

Although it is not as soft as the hotel's bed, you can sleep more comfortably.

Of course, Qin Miao didn't go back with the team members this time. Qin Miao went back by herself, and had dinner with Zhou Guanyu before going back.

After eating, Qin Miao hailed a car and took the two of them back to their home in Vicenza.

There is one thing to say, although the countries in Europe are small, the distance across a European country is at most three to four hundred kilometers, but they do not need a visa to cross the border. Crossing the border in Europe is like crossing the provincial border in China. .

There is no sense of reality.

Back at her long-lost home, even though Qin Miao drove in the morning and was on the road in the afternoon, she still opened the courier box with great interest and took out the cosplay suit.

Then he came to Qiumeng with a face full of anticipation: "Hey, daughter-in-law..."
