How did I become an F1 driver?

When the camera cuts over, Yuki Kakuda's Toro Rosso race car stops at the junction of T11 and T12 on the track.

Because some Japanese media praised Kakuta's performance in scoring points in the first game in the media.

As for Qin Miao, who won the runner-up in the first race, she was simply ignored. What kind of car did you Qin Miao drive?Mars rover!Mercedes Benz, W12.

And what car did Kakuda drive?Little Red Bull, the car of the earth center group, there is no comparison between the two.

Is it as difficult for you to earn points as it is for me, Tsukuda Jungao?
You are not good at technology, you are good at cars. If Kakuda is allowed to drive the Mercedes, he can even challenge Hamilton's position in the Mercedes team.

As for the fact that Qin Miao won the championship in Imola and Qin Miao dominated the whole season in F2, of course they were directly ignored.

Seeing this double-standard face, the three commentators and many domestic car fans were furious.

So after seeing Kakuda retired from the race, the three commentators yelled out in the studio: "Oh, Kakuda, the Japanese driver who has been placed with high hopes. And the driver who is considered to be a possible future world champion retired just like that ,Ha ha……."

The subsequent commentators just laughed and gloated, which meant a lot.

Because Kakuda's car engine stopped, the car stopped directly on the outside of the corner.

It took another half a minute before the safety car was deployed after Kakuta could no longer start his car.

In fact, Mercedes began to consider whether to let Qin Miao pit after Kakuta drew the safety car. With Qin Miao's tire protection ability, he might be able to run the entire next race directly with a set of medium tires.

But doing so also has risks.

Because when Qin Miao was conducting a long-distance test in the practice race, the cliff point of the medium tire was about 57 laps, but now there are [-] laps before the end.

That is to say, if Qin Miao chooses to stop and change tires at this time, then he will struggle extremely in the last seven laps of the race.

In Toto's heart, he still prefers to let Qin Miao continue to go outside. He retired because of a car failure in the last race. It is too risky to play tricks in this race.

But he still asked Qin Miao: "Qin Miao, the safety car is out, but our plan remains the same, we can replace you with medium tires, what do you think?"

It may seem to outsiders that Toto's remarks are a bit out of the question.

But Qin Miao, as a member of Meiben, can understand Toto's words.

What Toto means is basically that the one-stop plan remains unchanged, and we can put on medium tires for you to run the entire next race.

As for why not choose hard tires.

This is mainly because the speed of the hard tire is too slow, one second slower per lap than the medium tire, and more than two seconds slower than the soft tire per lap, there is no cost performance at all.

Suddenly receiving a TR from Toto, Qin Miao looked at Verstappen and Hamilton in front of him, and Leclerc behind him.

Thinking in my mind:

If this race follows the team's original plan, using soft tires to run to the pit stop window of 24 laps before pitting and changing tires, the total time of running the whole race by myself will not be less than Hamilton's anyway, and there is even a high probability that there will be no way Overtake Verstappen.

So instead of continuing to eat ashes behind the two dead perverted asses in front, it's better to take a gamble.

What if?What if you get good grades?What if there is another safety car on the track after the pit window opens?
"Okay, BOX." Qin Miao felt ruthless.

After all, being young, Qin Miao nodded and agreed to these too risky plans without thinking too much.

Qin Miao's sudden promise gave the Mercedes strategy team who proposed the plan a headache, because they had to pay attention to Qin Miao's tire status after entering the pit.

As a result, the audience and commentators were a little surprised to see that the Mercedes-Benz driven by Qin Miao drove directly into the maintenance area.

And with the help of the team staff, a set of medium tires was replaced, and the total time was 2.1 seconds.

It doesn't matter how many seconds it takes to change tires during the safety car. What the audience was really astonished was why Qin Miao chose to stop at this time to change tires.

After the director showed the scene of Qin Miao entering the station to change tires, he also released the call record of the team's communication with Qin Miao just now.

Only then did Brother Fei and the commentators suddenly realize, "Is this Qin Miao's own thought?"

Zhou Haoran analyzed: "If Qin Miao enters the station at this time, he should want to make two stops."

Brother Bing suddenly interjected curiously: "Do you think it is possible to run a set of yellow tires directly?"

"How is this possible?" Fei Ge was the first to stand up and object: "There are still 57 laps left, and the yellow tires will not be able to run the entire race no matter what."

Zhou Haoran also echoed: "Indeed, it should be two stops, the yellow tire can't run the whole game."

……

In addition to Qin Miao during the safety car period, Arrow's Giovinazzi also chose to pit, and then Williams' Russell and Latifi also chose to pit on the tenth lap.

Both, like Giovinazzi, switched from soft to medium tyres.

And after they came out of the corner, they all naturally fell at the back of the team.

Qin Miao got in right after the safety car came out, so she didn't fall too much after getting out, and just landed in seventh.

Ocon's behind, Sainz's in front.

After confirming his position, Qin Miao adjusted the settings of his racing car. He began to use ERS sparingly, and the wiring began to go straight, only to protect the tires.

Qin Miao naturally also knew that the medium tires would not be able to complete the race under normal driving conditions, so from now on, she had to save the tires.

In order to protect the tires, Qin Miao didn't grind the tires much during the time he followed the safety car.

In the middle of the tenth lap, Yuki Kakuda's car had been removed from the track, and the dome lights of the safety car went out.

On the tenth lap of T15, Hamilton pressed the car slightly and then started abruptly.

Because Qin Miao couldn't see Hamilton's car, Hamilton naturally didn't give Qin Miao a signal, so he started on his own, trying to widen the gap between himself and Verstappen as much as possible.

Qin Miao's starting reaction speed is faster than that of Aokang in front of him, but because the temperature of Qin Miao's racing tires is too low, the grip is not enough for the power output provided by his engine.

And after the start, there are two combined turns of T14 and T15 on the track, and Qin Miao has no way to overtake here.

So Qin Miao's position remained unchanged after the start.

However, Qin Miao was not in a hurry because he fell behind Aokang. Wait, after the DRS is turned on, it is not too difficult for a Mercedes with DRS to overtake an Alpine.

In fact, Qin Miao felt a little emotional after seeing Aokang in front of her, because the first F1 driver Qin Miao saw in reality was Aokang.

I still remember that it was in Shanghai at that time, and Qin Miao went to an event with the help of Boss Zhou.

At that time, Qin Miao could only look at Aokang in the distance from the perspective of a passerby, like a star.

There is really a feeling of "I was eighteen that year, standing like a minion".

Touching the scene, Qin Miao threw his skill [Flood Beast] on Aokang without any hassle.

After all, Qin Miao's tires are very tight now, and when Qin Miao overtakes every driver in front of him, he has to carefully calculate his tire wear.

What surprised Qin Miao was that when he used this skill on Verstappen, the initial pressure on Verstappen increased from 0%.

After using Aokang, his initial pressure was as high as 26%.

Qin Miao didn't understand, but he was greatly shocked.

Why is Aokang under so much pressure?

I didn't do anything.

In fact, the French found that Qin Miao fell behind him after entering the station, and the pressure brought by the Mercedes rover came to his face.

Although the Frenchman knew in his heart that he and Qin Miao were not in a competitive relationship at all, but the natural competitive spirit prevented the Frenchman from giving up his position so easily.

So he put a certain amount of pressure on himself. You Qin Miao can surpass me, but when you surpass me, you have to pay a price no matter what.

But what Aokang didn't expect was that when Qin Miao came within 1.5 seconds behind him, the presence of Qin Miao's racing car suddenly increased, and Qin Miao's red helmet, which didn't match the black Mercedes body at all, was on Aokang's retina The sense of presence is particularly strong. Every time Aokang looks at the rearview mirror in the overtaking area, he will subconsciously look at the red helmet.

Then Qin Miao found that the closer he was to Aokang's car, the faster his pressure would increase.

After all, the Mercedes car is faster than the Alpine. Even if Qin Miao took the route of protecting the tire, he still stuck to the place 12 seconds behind Aokang on lap No. 0.4.

Then Qin Miao saw that Aokang's pressure level increased by 1% for each corner.

Before the start of the race, DRS was turned on again. At the T12 and T7 positions on the No.8 lap, the pressure level reached 40%, and Aokang made a mistake. He went too big when exiting the corner, and the right rear wheel pressed on the apex of T8. Sausage Curb.

The rear wheel of the Aokang car was directly bounced by the shoulder of the road. Although the car finally fell back on the track, Aokang also pulled the car back to the track through his superb technology, but Aokang's cornering speed was greatly affected. Influence.

Because of this, when Qin Miao passed Aokang, he didn't even take the overtaking route, and passed Aokang easily by relying on the normal route.

After surpassing Aokang, Qin Miao's ranking came to sixth.

Three seconds ahead is Perez.

Although only two laps had passed since the restart of the race, during these two laps, Leo Kang didn't take the lap time seriously. He was all thinking about how he should defend Qin Miao like a lion, so naturally he couldn't get up to speed.

However, Aokang behind him was already left behind by Qin Miao when he was overtaken by Qin Miao. His mistake even threw him out of Qin Miao's DRS area. Alpine's car did not have a Mei Benz. Quick, this time it is even more direct to play GG.

But Aokang actually didn't lose anything, because he was already in the seventh position, but now he just returned to the position he should be in.

It is worth mentioning that Sainz has been following Qin Miao for 1.7 seconds. Like Leclerc, Sainz and Qin Miao have been following very hard. up.

But even so, all he could do was barely ensure that the gap between himself and Qin Miao would not continue to widen.

There has been a rumor circulating in Ferrari lately.

This kind of statement means: Qin Miao is more talented than Sainz. If Qin Miao does not leave but stays in Ferrari, the current Ferrari points cannot be said to have stepped on Red Bull and punched Mercedes, but it can definitely surpass Mercedes. Karen, then takes on the Red Bull.

And many people agree with this statement.

And this kind of discussion reached Sainz's ears.

Sainz must be very angry. No one can stand his girlfriend saying that his ex-boyfriend is better than himself.

Whether it's the public opinion in the Ferrari team or facing Qin Miao on the field.

Qin Miao, who was driving a Mercedes, was so fast that Sainz couldn't even see the taillights on the field, so why should he chase him?How can I prove that I am no worse than Qin Miao?
Originally, Sainz could comfort himself by relying on the fact that the Mercedes car is better than the Ferrari car, but just now, just now, Qin Miao took the tire protection route, while Sainz took the normal route, even regardless of the cost He was using the DRS of his racing car, but despite this, Sainz still couldn't get close to Qin Miao, and the gap between the two was gradually widening.

Sainz even had a feeling that after Qin Miao found out that the driver behind him was him, Qin Miao didn't even look back at him.

Frustration and powerlessness enveloped Sainz in an instant.

But don't say it yet, Sainz's feeling is right.

Qin Miao breathed a sigh of relief when he found Sainz behind him, and then indeed ignored his existence directly.

After surpassing Aokang, Qin Miao began to chase Perez.

Perez joined Red Bull only this year, and the Red Bull car was completely tuned and developed according to Verstappen's driving habits. Even though Perez has a whole body of skills, he can use weapons that don't fit his hand instantly. The strength is also very limited.

So at this time, Master Pei's speed was not too fast, and Qin Miao caught up to him after four laps.

At this time, Qin Miao has no skills to use. Qin Miao also knows that this is not the time to save the baby. Because of Perez's identity, in order not to let himself put pressure on Verstappen, Perez will definitely do his best. Do your best to defend yourself.

After a while, Qin Miao heard Franky's notification: "Red Bull gave Perez a death order, and he will defend you with all his strength."

Qin Miao understood, but still asked: "How is the condition of my tires?"

The meaning of asking this question is probably: "Can the tires I saved in these few laps support me to attack Perez in the next race?"

Frankie can understand it naturally: "The tires are in good condition, better than we expected, keep it up."

The general meaning of this sentence is: "If you have a margin, fuck it!"

Qin Miao glanced at the ERS battery power reserve on her steering wheel from the corner of her eye: 87%.

What else is there to say, do it.

Although Qin Miao could no longer use his skills on the subsequent track, it was not impossible to put pressure on people if he had no skills to use.

Qin Miao was stuck within the range of 0.2 to 0.5 seconds behind Perez. As long as it was a possible overtaking point, Qin Miao would pull half of the car out.

This way of applying pressure can effectively put pressure on the vehicle in front, but it will not lose speed because of too intense operation.

However, when the performance of the Red Bull and Mercedes cars is similar, if you want to overtake the car in front without wearing too much tires, you need a more suitable opportunity.

And Qin Miao waited for this opportunity after exiting the T19 corner on the 15th lap.

Qin Miao found that when Perez came out of the corner, he had eaten too much on the right tire shoulder, and went a little bit on the shoulder.

After Qin Miao discovered this, she immediately turned on ERS when exiting the corner.

At the same time, it also gave a kick to the limit of violent accelerator.

The originally mild driving style suddenly changed, and he began to accelerate violently.

Perez also knew that he made a mistake because Qin Miao put too much pressure on him. After passing T16, he began to draw dragons on the track to prevent Qin Miao from sucking his wake.

At this time, Qin Miao couldn't care about the tires anymore. No matter how great Perez's dragon drawing was, Qin Miao followed Perez's dragon drawing rhythm.

After turning on the DRS on the starting straight, Qin Miao approached Verstappen even faster. Halfway through the straight, Qin Miao was already side by side with Perez.

And Perez, who defended the inside line, has nothing to do at this time. He can only hope that he can use a late brake to recover his mistake in T1.

It's a pity that the speed loss caused by Perez's mistake was too great. Coupled with Qin Miao's full efforts, before entering T1, Qin Miao's entire car surpassed the Red Bull from the outside.

And looking at the Mercedes that had already come in front of him on the starting straight, all Perez could do was sigh.

Too fast, really too fast.

"Nice job!" Franky said excitedly in TR after seeing Qin Miao complete an overtaking.

In fact, when Qin Miao surpassed Perez, he was still a little nervous. After all, this is the Red Bull, and he also knew that Perez would try his best to defend himself at all costs.

But just when everyone thought that the two would have a bayonet match, Qin Miao happened to encounter a mistake by Perez.

In this case, overtaking Perez brought Qin Miao a happier feeling of surprise than receiving a gift from Zhou Guanyu on his birthday.

This wave of Qin Miao was purely lucky to pick up a big deal. If Perez hadn't made that mistake, Qin Miao would still attack this time, but Super Perez would definitely not be as easy as it is now.

After coming to the fifth place, Franky said: "Then enter the cruising mode."

Qin Miao looked at Ricardo in front of him with some pity. He was less than three seconds away from him. If he had enough tires, he could really kill him within three laps.

But there was no way, the tire reserves saved from so many laps just now were all used up when they surpassed Perez.

If he overtakes Ricardo in front of him, Qin Miao's tires really won't be enough.

In the next few laps, Qin Miao started to do long distances with the rhythm of protecting the tire.

In order to save the miscarriage, Qin Miao did not use the power of the ERS to get rid of Perez behind her.

And Master Pei is worthy of the name of a master. After being overtaken by Qin Miao, he relied on DRS to follow behind Qin Miao and was not pulled away by Qin Miao.

But Master Pei can only do so much, he can't surpass Qin Miao in a short time.

And as his soft tires began to fail, it became more and more difficult for him to keep up with Qin Miao.

On the second lap of No.20, the pit window opened, but Ricardo in front of Qin Miao did not intend to pit.

And Qin Miao was following Ricardo at this time, and didn't dare to do too many actions, just eating Ricardo's DRS tire protection, and charging the battery of his racing car by the way.

Qin Miao is not ready to surpass Ricardo in a short time, Qin Miao is waiting for Ricardo to enter the station.

Therefore, Ricardo, Qin Miao, and Perez formed a small DRS train.

However, in the third lap of No.20, Ricardo and Perez also made a mistake in the same place, but the mistake was different. When Ricardo was in T14, the APEX point of the apex was cut early, and Perez It's going too far out of the bend.

Although Qin Miao wanted to keep the baby, but facing such an opportunity, if Qin Miao gave up, it would not be him.

So the operation that just overtook Perez was repeated on the field

Strange to say, Qin Miao's overtaking was not based on the performance of the car, nor the technology, but on the opponent's mistakes. This was the case for the three overtakings.

After overtaking Ricciardo, Qin Miao came to fourth place.

The three drivers ahead of Qin Miao are Hamilton, Verstappen and Leclerc.

Let’s not talk about the first and second two now, the time of thirteen laps has opened up the distance of Leclerc by a full 9 seconds.

And Leclerc opened the distance of Ricciardo by another 7 seconds, that is to say, Qin Miao is now 16 seconds away from the leading group ahead.

It may seem that Qin Miao's 16 seconds for a pit stop is a bit of a disadvantage. After all, the normal time for a pit stop at the Circuit de Catalunya is only about 22 seconds.

However, it should be considered that Qin Miao was blocked by three cars on the track. If there were no obstacles from these cars, Qin Miao could save at least 10 seconds in this pit stop.

And with the passage of time, the tires of the three drivers in front had begun to fail, and Qin Miao, who was using medium tires, began to chase Verstappen at a distance of 0.6 seconds per lap even though he was running with the tires on.

Before the game is really over, no one can determine whether their tactics are good or bad.

On lap 24, Verstappen, who had been unable to overtake Hamilton, chose to pit early in an attempt to under cut Hamilton.

However, during the pit stop to change the tire, the tire changer on the left rear wheel lost the chain, giving Verstappen a 4.2-second tire change.

For Red Bull, this is not the worst, because according to the original calculation of the strategy team, Verstappen can land about 1 second ahead of Qin Miao after this pit stop.

It happened that there was no need to face Qin Miao's wall of sighs.

But because of this 4.2-second pit stop, Verstappen fell behind his teammate Perez and fell directly into the DRS train headed by Qin Miao.

But this time Toto did not ask Qin Miao to give any team orders. Qin Miao's tactics are very risky, and tire wear is the most critical. If Verstappen wants to surpass Qin Miao, Qin Miao can only do it. Tappan over, or you have to make another stop.

Also because of Verstappen's pit stop, Qin Miao came to the third position and began to continue to chase Leclerc ahead.

At this time, Qin Miao was still 6.7 seconds behind Leclerc.

25 laps, the gap between the two was 5.9 seconds.

26 laps, 4.1 seconds.

27 laps, 3.3 seconds. (end of this chapter)
