How did I become an F1 driver?

Chapter 138 Chapter 136: Friends Gathering (6K, plus 1423)

Qin Miao started today with hard tires. Due to the characteristics of the track, many drivers are planning to implement a one-stop strategy in the sprint race, so some drivers can be seen wearing red soft tires in the sprint grid.

Soon, the race started amidst the hum of the racing engines on standby.

The 22 cars drove out of their grid together and started the tire warm-up lap.

After the warm-up lap, the drivers all returned to their grid positions.

At the starting stage, Qin Miao did not achieve such dazzling results in the first two sprint races.

After all, they didn't use soft tires, so they didn't take much advantage at the start stage. Although they started relatively fast, they only killed Ma Zeping before entering T1.

Although Mick and Qin Miao also had a certain speed advantage in the initial stage, Mick had already entered T1 before turning the speed advantage into an overtaking advantage, because Qin Miao took the outside line when passing Ma Zeping, and the line entering the corner was directly passed by Mi Ke Feng died, Qin Miao had no choice but to give up this transcendence.

After Qin Miao completed the start, the team actually gave Qin Miao advice during the period when he was unable to overtake, that is to maintain his own rhythm and protect the tires.

Anyway, most drivers would choose to stop, and if Qin Miao didn't plan to make a pit stop, he could rely on this to win the race without bloodshed.

But Qin Miao didn't listen.

Because to a certain extent, Qin Miao's tire service life at this time is 5% longer than yesterday's race stage, and this 5% can allow Qin Miao to drive a little more aggressively on the track.

So in the follow-up race, under the gaze of the director camera, Qin Miao maintained a steady speed of surpassing the driver in front of him for three laps.

Two laps shorten the distance to the car in front, and one lap relies on the starting straight and DRS to overtake.

It seems that the F2 race in Qin Miao's eyes is a game with the AI ​​difficulty adjusted to the lowest level. As long as it is in the corner area, Qin Miao can visibly shorten the distance between him and the driver in front.

Qin Miao also found some fun in overtaking again and again, because the drivers who are about to be overtaken by him on the starting straight will always struggle in every possible way and do not want to be overtaken by him.

And their resistance seemed quite interesting to Qin Miao.

This feeling is like Vincent holding Delevingne in the Summoner's Canyon. Although no matter what hero it is, after being caught by Delevingne, it will be directly hacked to death with two axes, but there will always be some people who make Some unexpected movements for Vincent.

Just like a robbery, after being blocked in the spring, W flashed with one hand and Youmeng slipped out of the spring from under Vincent's nose, and then the sentence "garbage" posted outside made people feel quite interesting, and it was ridiculous .

No. 18 laps, at this time, some drivers have started to pit one after another. Although there are some drivers who want to run the whole sprint race with a set of hard tires like Qin Miao, but after the tires of these drivers show a large area of ​​wear , it's not hard to guess to what extent their car's grip will drop.

And after the No.20 lap, Qin Miao inexplicably found... where is the car in front of her?Why is it gone?I haven't overtaken my addiction yet...

From the perspective of the director and the audience, it is not difficult to find that the pit stop window is now open, and many drivers have gone to the pit stop to change tires.

However, there is one exception. Giotto, who started fifth, has been sticking to the track with a set of hard tires.

He also knew that he was not as fast as Qin Miao, so he had already set his goal beyond Qin Miao. Apart from Qin Miao at this time, the other drivers who came out of the maintenance area after changing tires were at least 23 miles away from him. Seconds, at this time there are still eight laps before the end of the race.

He still has the confidence to keep the 23 seconds for eight laps.

As for Qin Miao...

At that time, Qin Miao didn't even start to attack. After Qin Miao came behind him, he deliberately let Qin Miao go before the DRS detection point, and when Qin Miao passed, he was within one second of Qin Miao. , and took a sip of Qin Miao's wake on the departure straight and ate a wave of DRS.

Although he was thrown away by Qin Miao after entering T1, he still used this small operation to buy himself more than 0.7 seconds of time.

Now there is a common perception in the entire F2 paddock, that is, as long as Qin Miao wins the leading position, there is basically no suspense about the championship of this race.

So from now until the end of the race, Qin Miao started his lead again.

Now many F2 drivers are almost used to Qin Miao's existence, and basically have no idea about the championship of the main race and sprint race. Most of them now want to compete for the second place.

In the end, the race ended in the scramble of the drivers behind.

The follow-up races are quite interesting except for Qin Miao, because everyone is looking forward to whether Ilot, who has changed to soft tires in the next race, can catch up to 22 seconds in eight laps, and in the last few The lap lore beat Giotto who ran the entire sprint with a set of hard tires.

As for Qin Miao?What's so good about winter testing?

In the end, Qin Miao crossed the line, and Giotto, who was behind him, won No.2 by relying on the excellent decision-making of the strategy team. Without Qin Miao, Giotto would definitely have won the first place.

But in the current environment, the joy of getting second is the same as when you usually get first.

It is worth mentioning that so far this season, F2 has run a total of three grands prix and six points races, of which three races and three sprint races.

Qin Miao won the championship in five races and one runner-up. So far, all the championships in F2 races have been won by Chinese drivers.

Parked the car, followed by a weighing interview to receive the award, nothing to say.

Carrying the wine bottle and his trophy, Qin Miao came down from the awards platform, and handed the champagne to Franky and the others directly, while Qin Miao carefully put away the hat and trophy.

Now Qin Miao has another hobby, which is collecting trophies after winning various competitions.

However, these trophies did not go directly to Qin Miao's hands after they were brought back. Because of Qin Miao's identity and contract, every time Qin Miao won the championship, Ferrari would take a copy of the trophy, and then put the replica in the In the showroom of the Ferrari Driver Academy.

Qin Miao has no objection to this, because this is a stipulation in the driver academy contract.

Moreover, Ferrari found out that Qin Miao's victory in F2 was as easy as eating and drinking, and specially found someone to build a showroom in Qin Miao's study, which was dedicated to displaying trophies for Qin Miao.

The standings and scores after the game are as follows:

Qin Miao+15
Giotto +12
Ilot +10
Mick Schumacher +8
Ma Zeping +6
Drey Traz +4
Daruwala +2
Zhou Guanyu+3
The reason why Zhou Guanyu scored three points was because he also chose to stop, and finally relied on the advantage of the new soft tires to take the fastest lap away from Qin Miao in the last few laps.

Also because of these three extra points, Zhou Guanyu temporarily came to the third place in the leaderboard with a total score of 39 points one point more than Long Jiade.

As for Qin Miao, the current leaderboard is far ahead, leading the pack with a score of 123 points.

After the race, Qin Miao was planning to return to the team for a routine meeting, and then go on vacation after dealing with some matters.

However, it is clear that some things are not so easy to achieve.

After the game, both Qin Miao and Mick were pulled away by Ferrari.

Have a holiday?fart!Watch the game and learn!
……

In the end, Mercedes brought back one and three in this F1 game, and Ferrari's Leclerc didn't even score.

It took Qin Miao an hour and a half to end the slightly tormented, but still unremarkable game.

After watching the race, Qin Miao returned to his team.

After all, the two drivers of the team were not there, so the meeting was postponed.

The meeting resumed after the two returned.

The content of these meetings is similar, basically it is to summarize the problems and situations encountered by the team during the Grand Prix.

And put forward a solution at the meeting, and discuss how to solve the same situation in the future.

After the meeting, Franky found Qin Miao and gave Qin Miao the data Qin Miao wanted.

The data shows that the overall loss of Qin Miao's car in this sprint race is less than before, and the average loss this time is [-]% less than that of Mick.

Through these data, Qin Miao knew that her skills really had the ability to link.

The meaning is almost that this skill of mine basically does not need to be taken off in this life...

After the meeting, the trip to Hungary is considered to be over, and there will be a rest period of one week, and the next grand prix will be the British Grand Prix two weeks later.

However, Qin Miao did not return to Maranello on the same day, but stayed in Hungary for an extra day.

Because Qin Miao promised to invite two people to eat hot pot.

After returning to the hotel in the afternoon, Qin Miao called Zhou Guanyu.

Considering that the drivers will compete in the next few days, even if Qiu Meng brought Zhou Guanyu's hot pot, Qin Miao didn't take the initiative to find Zhou Guanyu, just because he was afraid that talking about these things during this time would affect his performance.

Now that the competition is over and a long period of rest is about to enter, it is naturally time to unseal the hot pot!

"Hey?"

"The hot pot is already being prepared." Qin Miao said lightly.

Zhou Guanyu was shocked after hearing this: "I'll be there soon!"

Well, this is a smart person, who can see through a little bit, so there is no need to waste any more words.

Hanging up the phone, Qin Miao turned around and saw Qiumeng laying down the ingredients bought from a nearby supermarket one by one. Qin Miao hurriedly said, "Daughter-in-law, don't worry about it. Wait a minute for Zhou Guanyu and The two of Leclerc are coming over, just let them do the work."

Qiu Meng smiled angrily, rolled her cute eyes at Qin Miao, and continued to work.

You are friends and you can joke casually, but you must not understand the way of hospitality...

Afterwards, Qin Miao called Leclerc and sent her exact location, and the other party said that he would come before dinner.

About 15 minutes later, Zhou Guanyu arrived at the door of Qin Miao's hotel room.

Because she knew he would come over, Qin Miao didn't lock the door, and the dude just walked in with grinning teeth and foolish joy without knocking.

"Hey, Qin Miao, brother and sister." Zhou Guanyu who came over empty-handed greeted the two of them with a smile.

Qin Miao rolled her eyes angrily: "What the hell did you ask you to come over for dinner, and you really only come here to eat alone? I don't know what to bring."

Zhou Guanyu waved his hand indifferently: "Brother JB, why are you being so polite?"

Qin Miao shook her head helplessly, brought Zhou Guanyu a bottle of mineral water, and then said, "You performed well this afternoon. I remember you started tenth, right? You chased two people and snatched my fastest lap."

"No, to be honest, taking the fastest lap from you is happier than I was on the podium at the Red Bull Ring last week." Zhou Guanyu laughed.

Qin Miao cut, and then said lightly: "I remember that someone has a total score of 39 points now? I think I have 123 points, let me do the math, oh, I was too tired to drive in the afternoon, and my mind couldn't turn around for a while, Lao Zhou Calculate for me how many 39 points my total score can be divided into?"

When Zhou Guanyu heard Qin Miao's words, he hid aside with disgust like he was hiding from stinky shit.

unlucky!

"Hahahaha!" Qin Miao laughed heartily.

Then the two quickly changed the subject and chatted about the recent CSGO game. Because of well-known reasons, the recent CSGO game was also held online, otherwise the two really wanted to go offline to participate in the game.

The two chatted for another seven or eight minutes. There was a knock on the door of Qin Miao's room. When she turned her head to look, she saw Leclerc's handsome face appearing at the door with a gift in his hand.

Qin Miao hurriedly got up to greet her.

"Oh, welcome, welcome, come as soon as you come, and bring any gifts." Qin Miao greeted Leclerc enthusiastically.

When talking about the word "gift", the emphasis is added, the intention is self-evident.

"For the first time, I didn't know what you like, so I brought you and Qiumeng a Richard Mille watch that I endorsed." Leclerc said with a smile after entering the door: "I specially picked it for you, lovers." payment."

"You are too polite." Although Qin Miao said so, she naturally took the bag sent by Leclerc.

It's not the owner who is so close to this. Since the other party sent Qin Miao, it is impossible to refuse.

At that time, Qiumeng will help Qin Miao write it down in a small notebook, and will return the gift when there is a chance, and the relationship will get better and better after coming and going.

After bringing Leclerc into the room, Qin Miao looked at Zhou Guanyu as if looking at something dirty: "Look at him."

Zhou Guanyu pretended not to hear.

Qin Miao was helpless: "A child who used to be pretty, civilized, and polite, how did he grow up like this now? It's useless~"

Leclerc also greeted Zhou Guanyu with a smile.

But this time the main body of the hot pot has been placed on the dining table, and hot water vapor is coming out from the top of the pot lid.

The three sat around the dining table.

After the three chatted briefly, there was another knock on the door.

Leclerc and Zhou Guanyu looked over and thought that Qin Miao had invited someone else.

But Qin Miao got up and walked over. After opening the door, there was a hotel worker wearing a mask and holding a plastic bag.

Qin Miao thanked her with a smile and gave the tip and the cost of shopping to the other party. The other party thanked politely and then closed the door and left.

After returning, Zhou Guanyu and the others discovered that Qin Miao had bought a lot of canned beer.

Zhou Guanyu asked curiously: "Don't you claim that you don't drink at all? Why buy this thing?"

Qin Miao didn't say anything, and put a can in front of the three of them.

As for Qiu Meng?This girl also drank, but Qin Miao had a machismo attack and put a bottle of yogurt in her place.

After seeing Leclerc, Zhou Guanyu also understood that this unlucky guy didn't score a point in today's race.

The wine that Qin Miao bought was for unlocking Leclerc.

Although alcohol is not a beneficial substance for the driver's body and reaction, who among the three present is not a talented master in the racing industry?It doesn't hurt a few people to waste a bit of talent on drinking.

Soon Qiumeng also got everything ready.

The three of them got up and went to the kitchen to take out the plates of food that had been cut.

After arranging these things, Qiu Meng lifted the lid of the boiling electromagnetic hot pot.

The red and white soup bases are clearly separated on both sides. The water is already boiling, and the spicy smell and the sweet smell of the white chicken soup drift out from the water vapor, making Qin Miao and Zhou Guanyu's mouths start to salivate unconsciously. .

Even Qiu Meng, the chef, swallowed silently.

Although it was the first time for Leclerc to eat hot pot, he swallowed unconsciously when he smelled the smell from the hot pot.

Qiu Meng took a beef ball out of the hot pot with chopsticks, took a bite under the gaze of the three of them, and after chewing for a while, said: "It's cooked, let's eat!"

Qin Miao helped Qiumeng open the stool next to her, and at the same time greeted Leclerc: "Put the food in the colander if you want to eat, then put the colander in the base material you want to eat, and wait until it is cooked You can take it out and eat."

While Qin Miao was teaching Leclerc how to eat hot pot, Zhou Guanyu had already started to put beef and enoki mushrooms in the spicy hot pot.

It looked like he really missed the smell.

Because the most convenient tool for eating hot pot is chopsticks, but chopsticks are such a difficult tool that a person who has never been in contact with them since childhood cannot learn them in a short time.

So Leclerc is still eating hot pot with a colander and a fork. Although it is a bit inconvenient, Leclerc is still full of praise for the taste of hot pot after eating it.

Judging from his constant actions of picking vegetables from the white soup, the act of saying that the hot pot is delicious just now should not be perfunctory.

Moreover, this is the first time he has experienced this way of eating at a Chinese table, which is somewhat novel.

After all, when they eat in Europe, they usually eat what is in front of them by themselves, but when they eat in China, it is a family or a group of friends who eat in the same bowl of food.

The collision between the two table cultures also gave Leclerc a different feeling.

After taking a few mouthfuls of the taste of the white chicken soup, Leclerc became overwhelmed with the red bottom of the pot where the three frequently stretched their chopsticks.

To be honest, Qin Miao did not expect that Zhou Guanyu could eat spicy food so well. The Mandarin Duck Hot Pot was brought in because Zhou Guanyu, a Shanghai native, and Leclerc, a foreigner, may not be able to eat spicy food.

After all, when they were together with Zhou Guanyu some time ago, they both ate the kind of healthy meals that drivers eat every day, and they basically never ate anything related to chili.

But these things are not important now, because at this time Qin Miao and Zhou Guanyu both laughed and watched Le Le, who carefully fished out a slice of red beef soaked in attractive color from the red soup pot with a colander. Claire.

I don't know why, but Leclerc knew that this piece of beef would be very spicy, but he had the urge to eat it in one bite, and his mouth began to saliva.

In the end, with anxiety and anticipation in his heart, Leclerc sent the slice of meat into his mouth with a fork.

In an instant, a special spicy taste filled Leclerc's mouth, and because of the spicy taste, the salivary glands in Leclerc's mouth began to secrete saliva continuously, trying to suppress this sudden taste.

Instead, the beef slices in Leclerc's mouth have a special sweetness, which makes the taste layer more distinct and tastes better.

But despite this, after chewing twice, Leclerc immediately took a sip of the beer in his hand, suppressing the spicy taste in his mouth.

"How is it?" Qin Miao asked expectantly.

Leclerc, who was sweating slightly, gave Qin Miao a thumbs up after hearing Qin Miao's question, the meaning was self-evident.

Although the ancestors said that they can eat without talking or sleeping without talking, except for Zhou Guanyu, Qin Miao and Qiu Meng are children who grew up in ordinary families, and the environment they grew up in did not have such strict requirements on this aspect. .

So everyone was chatting while eating.

After the four of them clinked cups once, Zhou Guanyu suddenly asked Qin Miao, "By the way, Sanshui, what troubles have you experienced with your racing car so far?"

Qin Miao didn't think much about it: "No, there hasn't been any failure so far."

Zhou Guanyu was surprised and asked: "No? No problem at all?"

Qin Miao nodded: "Yes."

Hearing Qin Miao's answer, not only Zhou Guanyu's face was full of surprise, but even Leclerc, who was taking a sip of red soup and a sip of white soup, looked at Qin Miao with a face full of surprise while breathing "shhasha".

"How did you do it?" Zhou Guanyu asked curiously: "Anyway, I have at least one mechanical failure in the three Grand Prix races, and I have never had any minor problems, such as overheating of the brakes, DRS failure, and tire graining faster than expected. Category."

Let's not talk about Leclerc, one day Ferrari won't make a fuss?

Qin Miao didn't hide it either, because he never carried other people behind his back when he added buffs to his car in Prema. If he wanted to ask, it was easy to know what Qin Miao would do before the game.

Even Qin Miao heard from Sui Wentao that Mick Schumacher also imitated Qin Miao and put buffs on his car before the start of the main race this week.

After telling the two of them what I would do before the start of every game, it is not difficult to see their suspicion from their expressions.

"It is pious, who is it pious to? How can it be considered pious?" Leclerc asked a very constructive question.

Qin Miao shrugged her shoulders: "I don't know, anyway, I will hold such a small ceremony before the start of each game. Whether it's comforting or feudal superstition, there is no loss anyway."

The two were speechless...

But he still silently wrote down Qin Miao's method in his heart.

Just like what Qin Miao said at the end, there is no loss after this set of rituals.

ps. The monthly ticket has reached 800, and there is always one more change. At present, there are 23 chapters owed and 14 chapters to be repaid.

This chapter is updated tomorrow, I pressed the wrong button... it was posted early...
