How did I become an F1 driver?

After seeing this scene, Qin Miao cursed angrily in her heart: "Damn chicken, how could he be so fast?"

Qin Miao, who was shaken by Verstappen and gave up his position, must be a little dissatisfied at the moment, but seeing Verstappen approaching quickly, he has no choice but to try to suppress Take Verstappen's route, but his speed is much faster than his own. Honda's engine is like a monster this season. Qin Miao's attempt can bring him very limited help.

In this way, the two cars came to the T2 position one after the other. At this moment, Verstappen had reached the side of Qin Miao with sufficient straight-line speed, and the two cars almost entered the curve side by side.

When entering T2, Verstappen did not choose to brake late to seal Qin Miao's line, because Perez was behind the two of them, and it was indeed possible to prevent Qin Miao by using late brake when Perez was behind him. Qin Miao, but won't Perez pass by then?

So Verstappen still braked late, but not to the limit. While leaving a certain line for Qin Miao, he also blocked his own inside line.

But when it came to the apex of T2, because Verstappen took the inside line and had the advantage of speed, the car body stood out to a certain extent compared with Qin Miao, and naturally he had the line right according to the rules of the track.

Qin Miao is really helpless at the moment, because she can't use her strength. If she doesn't want to be squeezed out of the track by Verstappen in T3, then she has to honestly give up the route.

As for the dangers of doing so?Pan Zi still cares about you?As long as it is within the scope allowed by the rules, he doesn't mind knocking you out directly.

And it was Qin Miao's own problem to be knocked out at this time. Will Saihui help Qin Miao get ahead? Even if there is a serious collision between the two, Saihui may directly punish Qin Miao.

When the time comes to carry a 5-second penalty, Qin Miao's podium may be gone.

So after Verstappen's car overtook him, Qin Miao's defense failed this time, and he had no choice but to let the opponent pass.

Verstappen surpassed Qin Miao in the three combined turns of T2T3T4.

"Oh, what a pity." Seeing that Qin Miao was overtaken by Verstappen, the three commentators of Five Star Sports really felt it was a pity.

"Qin Miao failed to hold her position, but to be honest, it is indeed difficult to hold her position in T2 after the inside line is taken."

"The main reason is that Qin Miao's start is not as fast as Verstappen's. If Qin Miao's start is a little better, then Qin Miao's position is not so easy to lose."

……

Verstappen's operation seemed to simply shake Qin Miao away after the restart of the game, and then stuck the inside line of the track all the way into T2 to complete the overtaking.

But there are many ways here, and Verstappen has carried out a lot of operations. First of all, he used the rain screen to reduce the visibility of his racing car in Qin Miao's eyes as much as possible, and then caught Qin Miao and looked at Timing in the rearview mirror. Turn on Qin Miao's attention, and when Qin Miao's attention leaves, seize the gap and tap from the left to overtake.

It can be said that the right time, place and people are indispensable, and Verstappen completed this seemingly simple and easy transcendence.

After surpassing Qin Miao, Verstappen cheered loudly in his helmet: "HOOO! Let's go!"

Qin Miao left a deep impression on Verstappen when he was in Bahrain. He knew that it was raining today, and when Qin Miao ranked ahead of him in qualifying, Verstappen really thought that today's game I have to follow Qin Miao's ass to eat ashes for a while.

After he broke free from Qin Miao's restraint, he had to spend a long time chasing Hamilton in front of him.

Whether he can finally catch up with Hamilton is still unknown.

Verstappen will naturally feel pressure in his heart, because if he entangles with Qin Miao for too long and the gap between himself and Hamilton widens too much, the championship competition in this game will have nothing to do with him.

So after just one start, he overtook Qin Miao, which gave Verstappen a sense of surprise after picking up the money, and a sense of refreshment after defeating a strong enemy.

And what about Qin Miao?After exiting the corner, he said in the TR with some annoyance: "I'm sorry, I couldn't defend Verstappen's attack, he is too fast."

It is impossible for Frankie and the others to tell Qin Miao whether his defense was right or wrong in the TR at this time. After hearing Qin Miao's words, they just comforted him: "It's okay, the game is still long, and a momentary mistake doesn't mean anything. Let's keep going!"

After exiting the corner, Qin Miao looked at Verstappen's speed. After a simple calculation, he knew that he would probably not be able to catch up. Then he looked at Perez behind him. This person was about 0.2 seconds away from him. Qin Miao has enough confidence to keep her position despite the distance, rain and no DRS.

On the seventh lap, after getting out of T18, Qin Miao started to accelerate and found that his speed was slightly faster than Perez, and the gap that should have been 0.2 seconds was pulled to 0.4 seconds.

After getting the news, Qin Miao felt more at ease.

At this time, the team reminded Qin Miao in the TR: "The rain may gradually decrease after 20 minutes, and we will ask you to come back and change new tires."

After receiving this news, Qin Miao naturally knew that her tires were definitely enough, so Qin Miao drove a little more aggressively at this time.

It's just as if he found that Perez couldn't catch up with him. On the ninth lap, Qin Miao also found a little weakly that the distance between himself and Verstappen in front had been opened to more than 1 second, and this The gap is still widening.

And at this time, Verstappen has come behind Hamilton and is ready to start attacking Hamilton.

Qin Miao can only watch at the moment.

And I silently prayed in my heart that there would be an accident when the two were fighting, and it would be best for both cars to retire, then my first champion in the race would appear...

On the tenth lap, Perez, who was behind Qin Miao, was overtaken by Leclerc at T2 and came to the position 2 seconds behind Qin Miao.

And judging from the speed at which Leclerc ran out in fifth place, Leclerc's overall speed was faster than Qin Miao, so the team quickly reminded Qin Miao in the TR after finding out that Leclerc had passed Perez : "Qin Miao, Leclerc behind you is 0.3 seconds faster than you per lap."

Although reminding the driver that there are drivers behind you who are faster than you during the race is a matter that can easily affect the driver's mentality, sometimes the drivers are on the track with no cars in front and no cars behind. It is possible to get caught up in a state of focus on the car, where the drivers may even go faster, but it is also possible to ignore the traffic coming from behind.

Although Qin Miao is now in a position where there is no car in front and no car behind, and he only needs to take care of his own lap time, the team still reminded Qin Miao for insurance reasons.

After receiving the reminder from the team, Qin Miao naturally saw the red Ferrari behind her.

"receive."

After another three laps, when it came to lap No.13, Leclerc, who was behind Qin Miao, was 1.1 seconds behind Qin Miao.

With the blessing of Qin Miao's wake, Leclerc's close rate with Qin Miao has reached 0.4 seconds per lap.

Although Qin Miao has not yet started to take the defensive route, she has already started to intentionally charge the battery of her racing car.

On lap No.15, Leclerc finally caught up to 0.5 seconds behind Qin Miao, and he was ready to attack Qin Miao.

And Franky's voice came from Qin Miao's team TR: "Qin Miao, the rain will gradually decrease in about three laps."

Although this is the end of the story, both Qin Miao and the team technicians know that Qin Miao's rain fighting ability is average, and in Bahrain, the average speed of Qin Miao's Mercedes-Benz W12 is at least 0.3 seconds per lap faster than Leclerc. .

So both the team and Qin Miao knew that as long as the track was dry, Qin Miao would not have to worry about being caught up by Leclerc.

On Ferrari's side, Leclerc is also in high spirits at the moment.

Although I have a good personal relationship with Qin Miao, this is an arena after all, and an arena is like a battlefield, either you die or I live.

Moreover, Qin Miao's old club, Ferrari, has a problem with Qin Miao to a certain extent. Many people in Ferrari want to see Qin Miao be defeated by Leclerc on the field, because this can be a short-sightedness for Ferrari to a certain extent. Get back a little face.

On lap No.15 of the T18 exit, Qin Miao exited the corner very coherently without any problems. After exiting the corner, Qin Miao turned on his ERS and began to discharge regardless of the cost.

And Leclerc, who is also excellent at the corner, has come to the position 0.35 seconds behind Qin Miao. Relying on the wake flow, the horsepower advantage of the Ferrari engine and the same ERS discharge, Leclerc is quickly closing the distance between himself and Qin Miao. gap between.

In this game, Leclerc's first attack on Qin Miao officially started.

"Come on, can Qin Miao defend Leclerc's attack this time?"

When the two cars reached the middle of the starting straight, Leclerc was already 0.2 seconds behind Qin Miao, and had enough speed to tap.

Leclerc tapped the inside line, and immediately pressed onto the wet track on the dirty side, started to raise water mist, and the speed also dropped, but the relative speed was still faster than Qin Miao.

Although Leclerc at this time has the same speed advantage as Verstappen when he overtook Qin Miao, but Leclerc's advantage is not as great as Verstappen.

And Qin Miao did not change lanes to block Leclerc's tap at the first time, but Qin Miao changed lanes towards the inside lane after T1, reducing Leclerc's overtaking space.

Naturally, Leclerc could only turn left to avoid, and Qin Miao also left a certain space for Leclerc, and did not directly squeeze him out of the track.

Because before entering the braking point of T2, the front of Leclerc's car only came to the position of Qin Miao's monocoque, and did not surpass Qin Miao. Compared with Qin Miao, his advantage was only to stand on the inside line.

Leclerc obviously wanted to compete with Qin Miao for late braking.

And Qin Miao also figured this out. Qin Miao didn't rush to the outside to prepare for the turn. He still squeezed Leclerc into the inside and shifted his brakes to the rear. After Leclerc braked, Qin Miao returned to the race. While on the right side of the road, brake in the process.

Although Leclerc overtook Qin Miao with a late brake, due to Qin Miao's squeeze, Leclerc's corner entry angle was very awkward, and he entered the corner with late braking, and he had to take a big turn when exiting the corner to get back on the track.

And Qin Miao braked early at this moment, and when braking, he took a wider line for himself. After the speed was appropriate, a small crossing line easily took his position back.

The main reason here is that Ferrari's engine is not as strong as that of Honda. If Leclerc is driving a Red Bull, and he overtakes Qin Miao before entering the corner and wins the line of the track, then he still needs to brake late. Entering the corner normally, Qin Miao dared to insert the inside line and squeezed it out directly.

After Qin Miao exited the corner, the speed gap between the two cars was widened by another 0.5 seconds.

Under normal driving conditions, there is really no good overtaking point on the Imola track except T2, unless the car in front makes a mistake.

But Qin Miao has proved his stability on the track during his time in F2, so no one is worried that Qin Miao will lose his position in the second and third time periods of this lap.

In T15 on lap No. 16, Qin Miao gave Leclerc behind him an opening at this position. When entering T17, Qin Miao stepped on the brakes a little harder, causing his car to lock up slightly.

Because there was still rain on the track at this time, Qin Miao's deliberate lockup this time was artificial, and the lockup state was quickly released, and the car did not deviate from the lane.

Therefore, this lockup has no substantial impact on Qin Miao's tire condition, but the speed has dropped a lot, and Leclerc behind him has revealed a seemingly capable opportunity to surpass.

Originally, Leclerc followed Qin Miao very closely during this lap, but now seeing such a good opportunity, Leclerc of course would not let it go, and braked late to force Qin Miao's inside lane.

And this time naturally fell into Qin Miao's calculations. Leclerc's lane change and overtaking would definitely not be able to follow the normal lane, and his lane was even narrower. Qin Miao's short-term speed loss in exchange for the car was Wider exit line.

Under the ebb and flow, Qin Miao's speed after exiting the corner was much faster than Leclerc.

When the two cars came out of the T18, the original 0.4 second gap between the two cars was stretched to 0.8 seconds.

Qin Miao directly resolved the possibility of Leclerc attacking himself in T2 with a small loophole.

Defense doesn't have to be a trick, you can also lay out stumbling blocks in advance.

After Leclerc realized that Qin Miao's mistake was a trick for him, he felt a little bad.

In the daily relationship with Qin Miao, whether it is Leclerc or Zhou Guanyu, the evaluation of Qin Miao is: a pure person, pure heartless, salty fish.

But after he really came to the arena, although it can't be said that Qin Miao has completely changed himself, some dirty routines and scheming defensive operations can't be said to be easy to catch, but they can also be said to be as handy as they have played countless times.

This kind of contrast has brought a lot of mental shock to Leclerc, which is secondary. The main reason is that Qin Miao's defensive ability really makes Leclerc feel tricky.

Although the team recently gave Leclerc a lot of Qin Miao's recent race videos and data, Leclerc's impression of Qin Miao is still in the past, because he lost a lot of speed because of the unhandled corner of a track in Silverstone. And young people who ask themselves the truth.

But now?A forced squeeze defense, a defense that started three corners before.

For a moment, Leclerc really felt that it was not his friend who defended him, but an old fox with more racing experience.

Qin Miao's setback this time made his respite on the field longer, so Leclerc in the T16 position on lap No. 2 did not have enough distance to attack Qin Miao again.

At the end of lap No.16, Leclerc, who had suffered a loss once, cheered up. Even though Qin Miao had been charging his car all the time, the speed was a lot slower, and there were several corners where Leclerc had Leclerc didn't rush forward when he had the opportunity to overtake, but just followed Qin Miao for about 0.3 seconds, waiting for the No.17 lap T2 after this lap.

Leclerc had a feeling that the loopholes that Qin Miao leaked now were just like the one just now, and they were tricks for himself.

He didn't dare, and he didn't think it was necessary to try, because his speed was faster than Qin Miao's. When entering T2 this time, he just braked late to try to grab the line of the track, and then pushed Qin Miao out of T3. , don't have to think about so many twists and turns.

However, Leclerc, who had already fallen into a battle of wits with Qin Miao, did not notice that the rain had stopped in most parts of the track at this time, and only the second time period still had raindrops falling from the sky. There are only certain water spots left on the road during the first and third timing periods, and these water spots are gradually decreasing due to the continuous driving of the car.

When T18 exited the corner, Leclerc found that the rear lights of Qin Miao’s racing car in front were not flashing. This usually means that Qin Miao had turned on the ERS of his car. Even with the wake and ERS blessings, she couldn't catch up with Qin Miao who was ahead.

After discovering this, Leclerc realized that the water stains on the track had begun to dry.

At the same time, at T2, Qin Miao saw a racing car.

It's not that Qin Miao's speed is fast enough to see Hamilton and Verstappen, who are almost out of their minds, but Ma Zeping in front of them.

In F2, Qin Miao lapped half of the drivers on the F2 field, but he was not lucky enough to lap Ma Zeping, the son of the Russian oligarch.

As for Bahrain... Ma Zeping crashed and retired from the game... surpassing Ma Zeping doesn't count.

What's more outrageous is that Ma Zeping is the slowest driver in the field at the moment. His teammate Mick Schumacher bumped into the pit and took more than 20 seconds to repair his front nose. More than 20 seconds ahead of him.

This guy is really here to experience life...

On lap No.17, there was still a gap of at least five seconds between Qin Miao and Ma Zeping. Although Qin Miao was about 1.2 seconds faster than Ma Zeping in each lap, he still could not catch up with him in a short time.

However, as the track gradually dries up at the moment, Qin Miao's dry-land training also began to play a role. Although Leclerc behind him still has a 0.2-second advantage over Qin Miao, this 0.2-second advantage is not enough. Let Leclerc break through Qin Miao's defense.

Qin Miao is confident that as long as the lap speed does not exceed his own by 0.7 seconds, Qin Miao can lock the opponent to death, and if it exceeds this value, as long as it is less than 2 seconds, Qin Miao can try to defend it. Of course, these data Depends on the track.

But Leclerc gave up after trying to overtake Qin Miao several times in the second and third time period, because on the premise that Qin Miao made no mistakes, he really had no way to attack Qin Miao effectively.

Looking at the car in front of him that he could catch up to but couldn't overtake, Leclerc couldn't help feeling a little aggrieved.

My speed is faster than Qin Miao. If it is on dry ground, the team can choose a suitable window at this time to call me back to change tires and try to under cut Qin Miao, but not now, because there are still water, but this water is in a state of gradually becoming dry.

If you change to dry tires, the tires will not provide enough grip in the short term, but if you change to wet tires, it is not necessary, because it is foreseeable that the track will dry out later.

So Leclerc could only follow Qin Miao's car aggrievedly to eat ashes at this time.

On lap No.19, the positions of the top four remained unchanged, and Hamilton still led, but Verstappen put pressure on him within 1 second behind Hamilton. As long as Hamilton made a small mistake, Verstappen would overtake him.

Leclerc, who is ranked fourth, is also eyeing Qin Miao's position at this time, but unlike Verstappen, he is firmly blocked by Qin Miao, and there is no way to overtake.

The time gap between the first group and the second group came to a terrifying 19 seconds.

This is mainly because Qin Miao and Leclerc are in a dogfight. If there is no interference from Leclerc, the time gap between Qin Miao and the group in front should be within 10 seconds.

Fortunately, Perez, who is ranked fifth, is still 7 seconds away from the two, and he will not be able to catch up in a short time.

In lap No.20, after knowing that his attack was not a threat to Qin Miao, Leclerc finally stopped trying, but started to save his miscarriage and frequently tapped his head to put pressure on Qin Miao at some innocuous moments.

No matter how good the off-field relationship is, it is also an off-field relationship. In the paddock, basically no one will show mercy.

In fact, there is another reason for not being able to catch up with Qin Miao. After driving for a long time, Leclerc's tires are a bit worn out, and the tire patterns on the semi-wet tires are almost worn out. The temperature of the tires is a bit high, and there are various problems such as certain granulation and insufficient grip.

And what about Qin Miao's tires?At this moment, the tread pattern is still clear. Although there is a certain degree of overheating, it is not serious and will not affect Qin Miao's driving.

However, in the second lap of No.20, someone finally felt that the track conditions were sufficient at this time and chose to pit for a tire change.

And the driver who knocked on the door to change tires first was Aston Martin's Vettel.

PS. The upgrade of the first place in Xiaozhou’s qualifying competition Q1 is over, and I will calculate the rewards and monthly pass upgrades for this month later... (End of this chapter)
