How did I become an F1 driver?

143 Chapter 141: A Mistake

So although Qin Miao endured the fact that he was forced by Drugovich to give up overtaking and was even kicked off the track.

But in Qin Miao's TR, Qin Miao's cordial greetings still sounded. Qin Miao basically greeted his family members one by one according to Drugovich's genealogy, showing the cultural heritage of China's state of etiquette.

Because Qin Miao uses English, there are no dirty words in the whole process.

Frankie in the TR heard Qin Miao's eccentricity and once thought there was something wrong with his TR.

The person on the other end of the radio didn't look like the proud Qin Miao he knew at all. Instead, he looked like a distraught child who was about to lose his beloved toy.

In this regard, it is true that there is aggrieved because there is no way to surpass Drugovich, but it is more because the raindrops on the track have gradually become denser at this time, and there is also water on the track, Qin Miao is a little anxious.

Finally, at the end of lap No.17.

The rain became heavier.

Qin Miao and Drugovich in front of them stopped at the same time to change tires under the order of the team.

The tire changers of the two drivers did not have any problems at work. When the two of them changed the tires and came out, their positions remained the same. Instead, Qin Miao got closer to the front with a sudden brake before entering the maintenance area. A little bit of Drugovich.

And just after the two came out of the maintenance area, Qin Miao seized the opportunity and stuck firmly behind Drugovich.

Even if the water mist raised by Drugovich's racing car wets the lens of Qin Miao's racing goggles, Qin Miao still judges his current position based on his familiarity with the track and the reference objects he sees from the corner of his eye.

Follow each other all the way to T7.

After this bend, there are two high-speed bends, T8 and T9.

As long as T7 exits the corner smoothly, Qin Miao can overtake in the next two corners by relying on the faster relative speed and the wake of the car in front.

But what surprised Qin Miao was that Drugovich, who had defended himself for nearly 6 laps without making any mistakes, lost the grip of the rear wheel when he exited the corner when he exited T4.

It took a counterattack to save him.

Seeing this scene, Qin Miao smiled inwardly: Heh, you are young, the temperature of the tires has not come up just after leaving the pit lane, and you are walking so big, it is strange that you do not skid.

Although the car was rescued, Drugovich also lost a lot of speed because of this, and was immediately chased by Qin Miao.

And Qin Miao just seized this opportunity, and completed a side-by-side wheel-to-wheel turn with Drugovich when entering T7.

You must know that Qin Miao is on the outside, and even Qin Miao still has a certain body advantage when entering the corner. If at this time, Drugovich does not leave enough space for Qin Miao to defend again like the previous few defenses If Qin Miao squeezes out, he will definitely be punished by the FIA.

So Qin Miao knew that he would definitely overtake this time, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

And just when Qin Miao relaxed a little, he suddenly felt his steering wheel lighten up, and the steering wheel, which required a lot of strength to stabilize, suddenly lost all feedback force.

What followed was an abrupt disappearance of the car's G-forces.

Almost instantly, Qin Miao realized what had happened, the rear wheel of her racing car had lost grip.

Qin Miao immediately turned back and refueled to save the car.

But because of the water on the ground, after Qin Miao's rear wheels lost grip, the front wheels also lost grip, and they didn't enter the pendulum. Qin Miao's entire car slid directly off the track.

Like Drugovich, Qin Miao's tires did not reach the proper working temperature.

Fortunately, Qin Miao's speed was not fast at this time, and she was slipping sideways, so Qin Miao's entire car just slid into the sand and gravel.

Before the car stopped in the sand and gravel, Qin Miao couldn't wait to lightly step on the accelerator, wanting to rescue his car from it before it completely sank into the gravel.

At this time, the race had only lasted [-] laps, and I had every chance to compete for the podium position.

It's just that no matter how hard Qin Miao tried, when he stepped on the accelerator, his car still didn't move at all, and it was directly stuck in the gravel.

After realizing what exactly happened, Qin Miao's heart skipped a beat: "It's over, my champion is gone..."

Before Qin Miao could take another step, the yellow flag on the side of the track began to wave, and Frankie's steady voice came from Qin Miao's TR: "Are you alright?"Are you hurt? '

Qin Miao felt very strange in her heart at this time. There was remorse when she made a low-level mistake that should not have been made, and there was also a kind of relief after the pressure on her body was suddenly relieved. The feeling was extremely complicated.

Facing Franky's question, Qin Miao said, "I'm fine..."

Although he really wanted to suppress the sense of loss and remorse in his heart that he missed the championship, Qin Miao still couldn't hold back, and while hammering his steering wheel, he cursed: "Damn it..."

And Qin Miao's punch just hit the Ferrari Prancing Horse icon on his steering wheel.

……

Zhou Guanyu can be said to have witnessed the fight between Qin Miao and Drugovich throughout the whole process, and he also knew that it was not Drugovich's fault that Qin Miao lost his grip and rushed off the track this time, but Qin Miao himself. I was in a hurry, and Qin Miao did not rescue the car in time when the grip of the rear wheels was lost. When Qin Miao reacted and hit back, it was too late, and the grip of both tires was lost.

The car went straight into the gravel.

To be honest, Zhou Guanyu felt that mistakes of this level really shouldn't happen to a genius like Qin Miao.

Although Zhou Guanyu felt sorry for his friend's mistakes, he did not forget his own job, and fixed his eyes on Drugovich in front of him.

Damn it's because you kid made a mistake for Qin Miao, right?I respect you for being a man, but the champion of today's sprint race must once again fall on the head of the Chinese.

This season's F2 we Chinese dominate!It won't work for anyone, I, Zhou Guanyu, said so!

And because of Qin Miao's mistake, the car couldn't move, and the track was right next to the track. For safety reasons, a safety car was dispatched.

After the director replayed the scene of Qin Miao rushing out of the track a few times, the camera showed Qin Miao who had already got out of the car.

Qin Miao did not leave the track, but stayed in the rain with his racing car.

Because Qin Miao's helmet was not taken off, and the goggles of the helmet were also closed, even though there were photographers on the sidelines with cameras shooting at Qin Miao's head, they couldn't see Qin Miao's eyes at this time.

However, this picture of Qin Miao standing in the rain with a helmet on his hips and watching other F2 cars go away was recorded by a camera, and it became the favorite photo that many Qin Miao fans used when they came to find Qin Miao's autographs.

But these are later stories.

Qin Miao had been helping Matthew and the crane to tow his car away on the side of the track before leaving the track. During this period, Qin Miao also checked the chassis of his racing car.

Carbon fiber is indeed very light and strong enough, but after rushing directly into the sand and gravel, there are still many stones that left scratches and potholes on the chassis of Qin Miao's racing car.

There was even a crack in the floor.

Although these damages can be repaired, the aerodynamic effect and weight balance after repairing must be much weaker than before.

In addition, Qin Miao couldn't afford to pay for a new set of floor plates, so if nothing else happened, Qin Miao would ask the team's technicians to replace him with a new floor plate after returning home.

On the track, Qin Miao's car was pulled away after two laps with the safety car.

The game is also about to restart.

For Zhou Guanyu, the bad news is that the sprint race has gone through 4 laps at this time, and there is only one lap left before the end of the race. The good news is that he has already arrived behind Drugovich by relying on the safety car. The gap of more than [-] seconds between the two has been smoothed out. If you operate properly, you can complete the lore against Drugovich in the last lap.

At this time, Qin Miao had already found a small motorcycle at the exit of the paddock, and asked Matthew to drag him into the paddock.

Even the director didn't show the game on the paddock, but put a lot of shots on Qin Miao.

Qin Miao is also the only driver who has F2 treatment in the F1 paddock, mainly because Qin Miao's personal ability is really terrifying.

However, Qin Miao convinced the commentators in the paddock, opponents, and even the on-site director in a few games, but failed to impress Ferrari's top management.

However, the director only showed the audience the scene of Qin Miao going back in the car, and then put the camera on the field.

At this time, the safety car has been withdrawn, and Drugovich is suppressing the speed of the car formation.

On the other hand, Zhou Guanyu stared at the rear of Drugovich's car. Zhou Guanyu had never been so concentrated like this moment. He even felt that the whole world slowed down, and only the taillights of Drugovich's car in front of him were in his field of vision. .

Finally at the T17 exit position, Drugovich fueled up suddenly, and the speed of the vehicle soared.

And Zhou Guanyu's reaction speed was not slower than Drugovich's at all, and the time difference between the two stepping on the accelerator was only about 0.1 seconds.

The most terrible thing is that because Zhou Guanyu is too tight, Drugovich is also under a lot of pressure, so when entering T18 and exiting the corner, Drugovich gave more fuel.

Zhou Guanyu was facing a better environment than Qin Miao at this time, because there was a big straight behind him, and he had fully warmed up his tires.

Although he does not have DRS, he does not make any mistakes when exiting corners. Compared with Drugovich, he has a faster relative speed and wake.

So in the middle of the starting straight, Zhou Guanyu completed the wheel-to-wheel against Drugovich, and when entering T1, Zhou Guanyu completed the tap against Drugovich.

Zhou Guanyu, who had the right of way, was naturally the tough one at this time, so he didn't give Drugovic any room to bend.

Drugovich could clearly see that Zhou Guanyu had already tapped himself before entering the corner, so in the face of Zhou Guanyu's tough defense, Drugovich had no choice but to give up the lane on the track unwillingly.

In fact, Drugovich was also quite unlucky, nervously leading over 2/3 of the race under the pressure of Qin Miao.

The whole game was highly tense and mentally tense. Rather than saying that he was running the game, it would be better to say that he was playing "Escape".

Finally, in the process of defending under great pressure, when Qin Miao made a mistake, I thought I could breathe a sigh of relief and enjoy the joy of winning the championship. The safety car came out, and then Zhou Guanyu took the baton from Qin Miao's hand and started Put pressure on Drugovich.

Then it became what it is now. After defending for a long time, I still didn't keep my championship.

The tournament even stated that his several defenses against Qin Miao would be investigated, and he might face the danger of a penalty at any time, and in the end he might not even keep his position on the podium.

After one lap, Zhou Guanyu crossed the line in the rain.

Zhou Guanyu, who started from seventh, did not perform badly in this race. He followed Qin Miao all the way to the third place, and in the last lap, he beat Drugovich to take the first place.

Zhou Guanyu didn't feel sorry for Qin Miao's mistake. Anyway, Qin Miao had many champions, and he was not short of one or two.

Zhou Guanyu just wants to enjoy the joy after winning the championship.

While Zhou Guanyu was receiving the award, Qin Miao also returned to the team's P room, and his car would be sent directly to the temporary P room of the Prema team by Matthew, so there was no need to transport it back from the pit lane again.

Qin Miao's car is already in the process of loading if there is no accident. Even if the floor needs to be changed, it will be changed after returning to the team headquarters in Vicenza.

After all, the spare parts I bought are all there.

After returning to the maintenance area, Qin Miao doesn't need to weigh the car. The purpose of weighing is to ensure that the driver's weight meets the standard and the validity of the results.

And what about Qin Miao?He didn't even finish the race, so what else needs to be confirmed?
Qin Miao went straight back to the P room of her team.

After seeing Qin Miao's mistake, Luo Xin knew that he had to make a move. After calling Qin Miao to his side, Luo Xin began to explain the truth to Qin Miao and comfort Qin Miao.

After all, after working in the team leader position for so many years, Rossin still has his own understanding in terms of understanding young drivers.

On the other hand, after Zhou Guanyu received the award, the ranking and scoring of the game were also released.

Zhou Guanyu+15
Drugovich +12
Longard +10
Drey Traz +8
Daruwala +6
Ma Zeping +4
Tiktum +2
Panasonic +1
Because the fastest lap was in Qin Miao's hands, and he didn't finish the race, the two points for the fastest lap in this race were voided.

With this sprint champion, Zhou Guanyu has completely secured his F2 No.2 throne. At the same time, Qin Miao and himself have kept the record, that is, starting from the first race of this season, all the winners in the points race are The record of the Chinese driver also continued.

So far this season, only Zhou Guanyu and Qin Miao have stood on the highest podium in F2. This is the best opportunity for domestic car fans to boost their self-confidence.

Although the domestic people in this period have passed the level that they would be happy to take off on the spot after being praised casually by foreigners.

Most people can treat foreigners with a normal heart, and some people have even begun to dislike Brother Ni who appeared in China.

But seeing Zhou Guanyu and Qin Miao controlling Thunder in the F2 arena, the domestic car fans are quite proud.

After all, it has been many years, and there are finally talented drivers in the racing industry in China, and there are always two of them.

Also because of the influence of Qin Miao and Zhou Guanyu, F2's domestic audience even once caught up with F1.

There are more and more people in China who like racing cars. This may be the power of idols.
