How did I become an F1 driver?

Chapter 142 140: Haze

After listening to Zhou Guanyu's words, Qin Miao frowned and leaned against the wall, he was really confused at the moment.

"I was just self-willed yesterday, and I didn't follow Ferrari's intentions to learn. How come this incident has become known all over the city in just one night."

Zhou Guanyu was also curious: "What happened?"

Qin Miao simply explained the matter, and then said helplessly, I now feel that these bastards are the work of Ferrari and those who wanted to get Sainz in.

"Then what is their intention in doing this?" Zhou Guanyu was puzzled.

Qin Miao is not sensitive to these things, and he didn't feel anything abnormal when he was inside the Ferrari.

If you asked him to analyze it, he couldn't figure out why, so when faced with Zhou Guanyu's question, he could only shake his head and spread his hands: "I don't know."

Zhou Guanyu clicked his tongue, and then asked: "Then what do you think? Do you want to stay at Ferrari or go to another team?"

Qin Miao thought for a while: "To be honest, I am a person who doesn't like to move around very much, and I don't really want to adapt to the new environment. At this stage, I still want to see the follow-up actions of Ferrari. According to Noto, they are currently only in contact with each other.

But if the other party really signs Sainz and has a definite result, then I will definitely switch to other teams without saying a word. "

When he said this, Qin Miao was obviously a little bit less interested. Qin Miao really wanted to stay away from these complicated games and internal political struggles, but he had no choice. Even if he didn't want to participate in the paddock, he could will be pulled in passively.

"Let's take one step at a time..."

Sunday.

Qin Miao's mood is obviously not high today, no matter what she does, she can't cheer up, and she even loses interest in her favorite racing car.

Obviously, the operation of those high-level executives at Ferrari has dealt a heavy blow to Qin Miao.

However, Qin Miao knew that he had a contract with the team, and the job of a racing driver was different from entering a factory to drive screws.

If you are not happy playing screw, you can just find a reason to ask for leave directly, and the driver basically gets to play in every game, because every game is related to the driver's own future career.

For rich people, it is not difficult to drive a car on a track.

But finding a group of people with the same level of driving skills as you, racing on the same track is very difficult.

So unless it is a serious illness that can't get out of bed, no driver will give up the opportunity to participate in the race.

Qin Miao basically has no possibility of asking for leave. No matter how bad his condition is today, no matter how depressed his mood is, he still has to bite the bullet and finish the whole sprint.

To be honest, when Qin Miao got up for a run in the morning, she was thinking about how to escape the sprint race she needed to participate in in the afternoon. At that time, Qin Miao really had the urge to drive her car directly into the sand and gravel, because the car got stuck. After entering the gravel field, you can go straight to work.

But as Qin Miao gradually became sober, the unrealistic idea in his mind was also thrown out of his mind.

Qin Miao can still tell which is more important, and this car was bought by Qin Miao himself, not the car of the team.

The car would be damaged if it rushed into the gravel. When the chassis was scratched by gravel or something, Qin Miao had to pay for repairs.

So Qin Miao could only force himself to come to the arena.

There is nothing to say about the preparation process, because yesterday's victory in the main race, the haze caused by that mistake in the team disappeared, and smiles can often be seen on the faces of the team staff.

Sure enough, the best way to ease conflicts is to win.

The impact of yesterday's mistake has basically completely disappeared.

But the team ran into another problem.

If it was said that the staff of the team were in poor condition yesterday, then today it was the drivers who were in poor condition.

Qin Miao was severely disturbed by some Ferrari executives, and she still hasn't recovered yet.

Looking at Qin Miao who was busy warming up next to his racing car, Rosin who was beside him folded his arms and chatted with Franky who was beside him.

"Seriously, boss, are you sure you don't want to talk to Qin Miao? He is in a bad state right now." Looking at Qin Miao, Franky asked Luo Xin who was beside him.

Luo Xin shook his head: "I don't think there's anything to say about this. It's just a routine political method of the Ferrari executives. Since he is in this circle, Qin Miao needs to get used to these dross in the dark."

"Although I don't deny Qin Miao's ability and talent, it's also because of Qin Miao's talent that he thinks too highly of himself. A proper blow can help him recognize the real side of this society earlier."

But Franky said: "Qin Miao is too naive. It's the first time I've experienced these things. I'm worried that this blow will make him completely devastated."

Although Luo Xin also had such worries in his heart, he said firmly: "Although there is such a possibility, I choose to believe it."

Hearing Rosin's firm answer, Frankie shook his head and didn't continue the topic. This was the choice of his team leader. He was just a track engineer and had no room to dictate, so in the end he just sighed and said: "Ferrari is getting better and better. It's not like the old Ferrari anymore, I never imagined that they could do such a thing to Qin Miao for profit."

Luo Xin also shook his head and sighed after hearing this: "Money and power can easily corrupt some people, not to mention it has been so long."

……

Qin Miao didn't know that the two big bosses of her team had talked about herself in the paddock.

Qin Miao, who has entered the working state, basically puts all her body and mind into the work, and has no extra thoughts about other things.

After a period of preparation, the time came to the eve of the sprint race.

Qin Miao came to the track again.

Sitting on the racing car, looking at the prancing horse icon on his steering wheel, Qin Miao felt complicated and difficult to understand.

But soon the sprint race was about to start, and Qin Miao withdrew her chaotic thoughts, concentrated her attention, and began to devote all her energy to the racing car.

Soon the tire warm-up lap started, and Qin Miao, who started eighth, used hard tires today.

Although Qin Miao still wanted to run the entire race with a set of soft tires, on the high-speed track of Silverstone, even with Qin Miao's tire protection ability, he couldn't run the entire race with a set of soft tires.

So at this time, the track is no longer all hard tires, and many drivers using soft tires can be seen, and these are all preparing for a stop in the sprint race.

Although changing to hard tires has no tire advantage, but with Qin Miao's ability to protect the tire, he can not protect the tire throughout the sprint race, and the whole race is carried out in a fierce driving style.

But for some reason, after the tire warm-up lap ended and he returned to his eighth grid, Qin Miao felt uneasy.

And the originally sunny sky seemed to confirm the uneasiness in Qin Miao's heart, and clouds began to float over gradually.

It's just that Qin Miao's attention was all on the five red lights in the distance at this time, and he didn't notice the quietly changing weather.

Soon, the five red lights came on and went out, amidst the roar of the F2 engine, the sprint race of the British Grand Prix officially started.

Qin Miao's racing skills were not affected at all by the rumors in the paddock, and the start was still stable and fast.

Qin Miao killed his compatriot Zhou Guanyu in the initial stage alone.

And Zhou Guanyu is also very self-aware. When Qin Miao came over, he didn't have any resistance at all, and directly gave up his position to Qin Miao. After Qin Miao passed, Zhou Guanyu followed Qin Miao's like a thief. Behind him, he began to pick up the wallet Qin Miao had left behind when overtaking.

Because he was familiar with this track, Zhou Guanyu relied on DRS and Qin Miao's wake to keep up with Qin Miao's rhythm on this track.

In the No.17 lap of the race, Zhou Guanyu relied on this set of operations to follow Qin Miao's buttocks to the third place, while Qin Miao came to the second place by chopping melons and vegetables all the way.

It can be seen that Qin Miao is really out of shape today, because in the past, Qin Miao could basically take back the first position after more than ten laps, but today Qin Miao came in second after chasing the 13th lap.

Although the weather was gradually cloudy at this time, it did not rain.

Moreover, Qin Miao has tried her best to shield herself from the negative impact of the outside news, but it is obvious that Qin Miao's efforts have not played an ideal role.

And before one knew it, the entire sky darkened, and some scattered raindrops had already begun to slide down from the sky.

Qin Miao reacted belatedly after realizing that a raindrop had smashed into his helmet goggles. The sky had already darkened.

Qin Miao, who found that the bad feeling in his heart came true, hurriedly asked in the team TR: "What's the situation? Is it going to rain?"

Franky had noticed the sudden change in the weather a long time ago, but Qin Miao generally didn't like being disturbed when driving, so Franky didn't remind Qin Miao immediately, but replied after Qin Miao asked: " Yes, but the rain will not increase in a short period of time, dry tires are still the best choice at present, we suggest that you can push to the limit now, so as to establish enough advantages before the rain.”

Qin Miao can actually judge what strategy he should choose based on the current situation, but with Frankie and others who have a higher perspective than himself and have received more information than himself to help him formulate strategies, Qin Miao feels that there is no need for him to What a waste of energy on strategy.

So after hearing the other party's answer, Qin Miao replied decisively: "Got it."

Then Qin Miao began to push the car towards the limit when his condition was not good, the car tuning was not comfortable, and the weather had gradually become gloomy.

Naturally, the speed has improved significantly, so that Zhou Guanyu, who had been struggling to keep up with Qin Miao, couldn't keep up with Qin Miao at all.

The driver ahead of Qin Miao is named Drugovich, and he is currently ranked ninth in the standings.

From the start of the game, Drugovich did not make any mistakes. After the start, he also relied on his positional advantage to steadily open the distance with the car behind.

But he didn't intend to get involved in the championship, after all, he had Qin Miao.

But before being surpassed by Qin Miao, Drugovich still didn't want to just get caught and hand over his position.

So he has been running very seriously during this time, trying to do his best to keep his current position.

However, as the sky became more and more gloomy, the number of falling raindrops increased, and the particles became larger and larger.

Drugovich, who knew Qin Miao's poor ability in rain fighting, was like a traveler lost in a dark forest who suddenly saw the light of a distant city.

Qin Miao is too strong, so strong that it casts a shadow over all the F2 drivers, making everyone lose any hope for this season's championship.

And this rain made Drugovich see hope, break through this shadow, see the light, and see the hope of the championship trophy.

Drugovich has a hunch that this may be his only chance to truly touch the F2 championship trophy this season.

Because of the rain from God.

So within two seconds of Qin Miao coming behind him, he started to lose his life just like Qin Miao, and his driving style gradually became aggressive.

I want to delay as long as possible, and wait for the rain to fall harder and harder.

Drugovic, who has watched the video of Qin Miao's rainy battle, knows that as long as it rains, the pressure on him to defend Qin Miao's offense will be much less.

So it was rare for the audience to see Qin Miao crazily chasing after another car, and the other car was also running wildly, not wanting Qin Miao to catch up.

However, due to Qin Miao's overall speed, he is at least 0.4 seconds faster than Drugovich per lap.

So after two laps, Qin Miao entered the wake zone behind Drugovich.

So on lap No.15, the two cars started fighting each other.

It is also rare for the audience to see the scene of Qin Miao fighting with other drivers.

It's just that the fight was somewhat fierce. Qin Miao was faster than Drugovich, but where Qin Miao was fast was in the curve area of ​​Silverstone. On the straight road, Qin Miao's advantage was very limited, and it was raining again , so the DRS was disabled in the race, so Qin Miao basically had no advantage on the straights, and couldn't overtake on the curves, so Qin Miao was blocked behind Drugovich.

However, when the opponent made a big mistake, Qin Miao inserted the inside line right at the time.

However, when the other party came out of the corner and leaned on him to enter the corner, the front of the car was further ahead than Qin Miao, so he didn't leave a place for Qin Miao, and squeezed Qin Miao out of the track.

And not just once or twice.

If Qin Miao didn't want to win the championship at this time, and then used his results to beat those Ferrari executives who were not optimistic about him, Qin Miao would not be spoiled by Drugovich at all.

If you dare to squeeze me, I will retire with you. Anyway, my buddy sits at the top of the standings with 150 points.

But Qin Miao can't do it now, because he really wants to prove himself at this time.
