How did I become an F1 driver?

Chapter 136 134: The Hungarian Fried Fish Competition
Seeing this, Qin Miao could only smile helplessly.

Throwing her luggage into Zhou Guanyu's arms, Qin Miao said like an old man, "Since you want to eat, you have to be upright. You will take my bag."

Zhou Guanyu was not angry either, and even directly opened Qin Miao's bag, looking inside, and asked curiously, "Where's the hot pot base? Did you bring it here?"

Qin Miao didn't care either: "I didn't bring it here."

Hearing Qin Miao's words, Zhou Guanyu, who was still smiling flatteringly, froze, and then his eyes turned cold.

He didn't carry the bag for Qin Miao, threw it into Qin Miao's arms, turned around and was about to leave.

"It's a dog face..." Qin Miao rubbed her chest, which was hurt by the laptop in her bag, and complained, and then said slowly: "But Qiumeng will come over tomorrow, and then he will take the pot and Bring all the hot pot ingredients.”

"Hehehe, brother Shuizi, I was joking with you just now, don't worry about it, you guys are JB!" Zhou Guanyu rushed over after hearing this, with an indescribably flattering smile on his face.

Qin Miao shook her head helplessly.

But in the final analysis, Qin Miao is not authentic. After all, he has long said that he will invite Zhou Guanyu and Leclerc to eat hot pot on Thursday, but Qin Miao did not bring the hot pot to him on Thursday. Qin Miao released the pigeons of the two at once. , he is not too embarrassed.

But the main reason is that at that time Qin Miao didn't realize that the hot pot seasoning sent by her mother was in Vicenza, and she forgot it recently because of work and meetings.

So after Leclerc came over, the three of them found a hot pot restaurant on Google Maps and prepared to make do with it.

There are indeed two Chinese people who opened the shop, and they speak an authentic broad spectrum.

But after ordering and eating, the taste did not meet the expectations of the two of them. On the contrary, Leclerc, a foreigner, ate with relish.

The same kind of food tastes very different when grown on domestic land and when grown on foreign land.

So you can't blame the restaurateur for his poor craftsmanship.

But after a hot pot meal, at least it suppressed the glutton in Zhou Guanyu's body, and also satisfied Leclerc's curiosity.

In the evening, the three of them left separately. After returning to the hotel, they got together to play two games and then went offline to sleep.

On the second day, F2 practiced in the morning and qualified in the afternoon, and F1 practiced in the morning and practiced in the afternoon.

As for Qin Miao, today's weather is just as malicious to him as last week.

Although the climate at this time is comfortable, the body temperature is only 27 degrees, and it is enough to wear a long sleeve to go out, but the whole sky is gray, and there is a drizzle.

In fact, the Hungaroring Circuit is a track that rarely rains. Since the F1986 Grand Prix was held in 1, it has only rained once during the main race.

It is this dry and cool place, and it just rained again today.

Qin Miao was also convinced, and began to think that God was putting eye drops on her because she didn't like her eyes.

Sighing, Qin Miao went out.

Come to the paddock.

There is nothing to talk about during the practice session. The rain was not too heavy in the morning, just some light rain, and there were no puddles on the track. After the F2 cars put on rain tires and ran a few laps on the track, the ground was almost full. dry.

After Qin Miao went up, the main purpose was to verify some of the little tricks he discovered while walking the track yesterday, and which road shoulders would have an impact on his car, and then to find a set of tuning settings that he was more comfortable to use.

But to be honest, as a low-speed track with many corners and inconvenient overtaking, the mainstream tuning of the car is high downforce.

Because she was looking for her own comfortable driving rhythm and a driving style to adapt to the wet and slippery conditions of the track, Qin Miao didn't do lap times either.

Although I finally got a set of tuning that was almost suitable at the end of the practice session, it was definitely not the most suitable for this track.

At noon, Qiumeng came over, carrying big and small bags.

But she didn't disturb Qin Miao's work, and went back to the hotel after asking Qin Miao for the hotel room card.

The team knew that Qin Miao's girlfriend was his manager, and the two often stayed together, so for the big brother of his team, the accommodation arranged by Prema was naturally top-notch.

Although what was arranged for Qin Miao was not a near-luxury room like the presidential suite.

But it's not bad at all. It's a family hotel room with one bedroom, two living rooms, one bathroom and one balcony.

So Qin Miao's room is equipped to cook hot pot. Of course, it's limited to induction cooker hot pot.

Knowing that Zhou Guanyu wanted to eat hot pot, Qin Miao's mother also sent a lot of hot pot ingredients from China. Since he wanted to eat, Qiu Meng began to prepare.

In fact, food is not the most difficult thing to get, the most difficult thing to get is the pot for cooking hot pot, because you can't find the mandarin duck pot that Qiu Meng wants abroad.

Qiu Meng searched for a long time, and finally found the Mandarin Duck Hot Pot in a local Chinese restaurant in Vicenza.

It's not even on their menu, it's what they use for their own hotpot.

When Qiu Meng first asked them for it, they didn't plan to give it to them. After all, they only had one mouthful of this thing, so if they gave it out, it would be gone.

Qiu Meng finally said that she just borrowed it, and rented the pot from them after paying a deposit of [-] euros. After returning to Vicenza three days later, she had to return it to them.

It can be said that Qiumeng really worked hard to let Qin Miao and the three of them have a hot pot meal.

Let's not talk about Qiu Meng preparing dinner in the hotel for the time being, and focus on the qualifying match.

The rain in the afternoon was heavier than that in the morning. When Qin Miao walked the track, the data he got were all track data in a dry state. Now half of his notes were for nothing.

Also because of the rain, Qin Miao didn't know what kind of result he could get in this qualifying match.

Because he didn't know what to do, Qin Miao wanted to do a flying circle with basically no interference, so as to ensure that his basic results were guaranteed to a certain extent.

So Qin Miao seized the opportunity this time. The team had just pushed the car onto the track. Qin Miao didn't let Sui Wentao and the others conduct a final inspection of his car, and drove the car into the exit of the maintenance area in the rain. Positions start queuing.

Because Qin Miao's speed was so fast that he didn't even do the most basic inspection, so Qin Miao ranked first without any surprise.

After 10 minutes, under the signal of the race meeting, the start of qualifying entered the countdown.

Qin Miao also learned the news that the race was about to start through the team's TR.

As the green light of the pit lane turned on, Qin Miao took the lead to drive the car out of the pit lane.

……

With 25 minutes and 30 seconds left before the end of qualifying, Qin Miao completed his first flying lap. During this period, he did not make any mistakes, but Qin Miao did not push to the limit. The lap time was 1:57:495, temporarily ranking in the First.

After Qin Miao's lap was over, a Red Bull Youth Training car got stuck in the gravel.

Because I couldn't get out of trouble, and the position of the trapped car was a certain distance from the entrance of Matthew, and it was raining in the sky, the red flag was directly sent out for safety reasons.

The race continued after the car stuck in the gravel had been dealt with.

Qin Miao who set off again lost the good environment he had when he was doing the flying circle for the first time. Mick happened to be in front of Qin Miao. the road ahead.

The heavy rain really affected Qin Miao's state, just in Qin Miao's second flight lap, when he started to push his car to the limit.

T2 turned out at a low speed, Qin Miao fueled up a little, and the car flicked on the spot.

Fortunately, Qin Miao's control over the racing car was far beyond ordinary people. After losing the rear grip, Qin Miao immediately fought back and rescued the car from the limit state.

It is also because the suspension and weight of the formula car make it difficult for these cars to drift on the track, so after Qin Miao rescued the car, the body posture instantly returned to normal.

Naturally, after Qin Miao made this mistake, his flying circle result was also invalidated.

Fortunately, the short-term loss of downforce at the rear did not affect Qin Miao's tire condition. After running two warm-up laps, Qin Miao continued to fly laps.

Because I don't know what will happen on the track with continuous rain, Qin Miao can't make a good result in this qualifying race and leave work early. He can only stay on the track and continue to run until the track conditions improve. Then do another score that satisfies you.

Fortunately, rain tires are more wear-resistant than dry tires after all. A set of soft F2 tires may only run two to three flying laps on the track before the grip begins to decline, while rain tires can run at least five flying laps.

With 15 minutes before the end of the race, Qin Miao set a new pole position score in the rain again, squeezing Kakuda's score to 1:51:091.

At this time, Qin Miao's result was at least 0.5 seconds faster than Kakuda's, but it was a rainy environment after all, and no one could tell when the rain on the track would stop, and then there was an extremely exaggerated improvement in the result.

Just when Qin Miao ran another tire warm-up lap and was about to rush again before the end of the race, the race suddenly showed a yellow flag, and the driver of the Red Bull Youth Training, Daruwala, drove an F2 Red Bull car into the buffer again. area, and got stuck in it.

Well, after confirming that Daruwala couldn't drive the car out, the race will directly send out a red flag, and don't run for the last 4 minutes. With this amount of rainfall, 4 minutes is not enough time for the driver to keep the tires of the car running. raised to the right level.

And what about Qin Miao?Because he missed the last chance to make another flying lap, he missed the pole position again and only ranked third.

The first and second are Zhou Guanyu's teammates Ilot and Zhou Guanyu respectively.

Calculating carefully, this is already the second time Qin Miao has fallen at Zhou Guanyu's feet in qualifying...

There is nothing to say, God targeted Qin Miao in the qualifying stage, a heavy rain made it impossible for Qin Miao to display his personal abilities normally.

This made Qin Miao very depressed, and at the same time began to make the Ferrari executives have doubts.

Qin Miao is indeed very strong in normal competitions, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he has the ability to dominate F2.

But now Qin Miao has completely exposed her shortcomings in these few rains.

Although it was raining, Qin Miao still had a certain degree of competitiveness and was able to get the front row starting position in qualifying.

But you must know that the competitive pressure of F2 is not as great as that of F1. Qin Miao was able to keep her ranking in the rainy battle of F2 because the strength of these F2 drivers is not so strong, and they still have a long way to go. Walk.

If you compare Qin Miao's performance in the dry state with his performance in the rain fight, you can easily see Qin Miao's weakness in the rain fight.

Although such a driver will still be sought by downstream F1 teams, such a driver is not qualified for Ferrari, which is committed to the championship.

Ferrari allows the No. 2 driver in its team to have no obvious advantages, but it absolutely does not allow such distinctive shortcomings like Qin Miao.

Although the current Ferrari is weak, this does not affect their executives' desire for the F1 championship.

Because of this, after the qualifying session ended, the Ferrari executives who were still optimistic about Qin Miao began to murmur, and restarted their recruitment plan for other drivers.

Qin Miao didn't know about this. After the qualifying race, after the weighing, Qin Miao, who was not too emotional, returned to the team with regret.

After a brief team internal meeting, Qin Miao went home to rest.

The next day, Qin Miao's mood brightened like the weather.

Although there are still clouds floating in the sky, the weather map shows that the possibility of rain in the venue during the F2 race is very low.

That being the case, Qin Miao took out her classic red and yellow Yistop.

Qin Miao directly killed Zhou Guanyu and his teammates at the beginning stage, and then drove the car behind for at least 0.4 seconds every lap. Everyone after the first F2 race knows that as long as Qin Miao starts to lead the race, there is no point in guessing who will win the race.

One hour later, Qin Miao, who just stopped seven laps ago and changed to new hard tires, crossed the finish line with all his strength, broke his fastest lap and crossed the finish line to win the championship of the main race of the FIA ​​Formula Two Championship in Hungary.

For Qin Miao, as long as it does not rain, there will be no suspense about the champion of the competition.

No matter which platform it is, as long as it is commenting on this race, it will send its sincere blessings to Qin Miao, an amazingly talented young driver.

Soon, the director played the team TR after Qin Miao won the championship.

Franky's voice sounded first: "P1, Qin Miao, we are P1, congratulations on winning another championship!"

Anyone could hear the excitement in Frankie's voice.

And what about Qin Miao?

"receive……"

Gone.

Maintained Qin Miao's consistent style.

It doesn't matter whether you say that he is flattered or not, or you say that he loves to pretend.

In short, amidst everyone's dumbfounded, Qin Miao calmly accepted the fact that she won the championship.

He didn't even say a word of celebration, as if he wasn't the one who won the championship.

And the two commentators of Five Star Sports commented on Qin Miao's performance in this game: "The strength is crushed, there is really nothing to say."

"Others are running the race, but Qin Miao is running the winter test alone."

"I'm really worried, will Qin Miao fall asleep from boredom during the game..."

"Give Qin Miao a sunny and fine weather, and he can give you back the eighth-start champion."
