How did I become an F1 driver?

Chapter 203 201: The Current Situation of an Old Friend

The three commentators suddenly changed their style in the middle of the commentary, because the position where Leclerc crashed was the traffic lane, and the watch had stopped at this time, and the other drivers who had not completed their last flying lap were all behind Leclerc .

So even though Leclerc crashed on his final lap, he retained pole position.

Soon, the yellow flag turned into a red flag. After all, Leclerc's parking position was really impossible to deal with.

The impact of Leclerc's crash is more than that. First of all, no one except Qin Miao made an effective flying circle in the last period of Q3.

That is to say, at this time, except for Qin Miao, everyone's results are in the bottom circle of running out at the beginning of Q3.

And everyone’s lap times are not fast.

Q3 of qualifying ended immediately after the red flag came out.

The final standings for qualifying are as follows:

P1: Leclerc

P2: Qin Miao

P3: Verstappen

P4: Sainz
P5: Norris
P6: Gasly
P7: Hamilton

P8: Vettel
P9: Perez
P10: Giovinazzi
P11: Aokang

P12: Ricardo
P13: Stroll

P14: Kimi
P15: Russell
P16: Tsunoda

P17: Alonso
P18: Latifi
P19: Ma Zeping
P20: Mick

And because of the penalty, Qin Miao will eventually start at No.12, behind Ricardo and in front of Stroll.

But regardless of these things, Qin Miao still needs to be interviewed after the qualifying round. Apart from anything else, he did get second place in the qualifying stage of this game.

We all know that there will be a period of free time before the post-race interview, and during this free time at the Monte Carlo track, the director usually likes to insert some high-speed camera footage of how close the drivers' tires are to the guardrail when passing T15. .

And Qin Miao's picture was the first to be released.

In the picture, the right front panel of Qin Miao’s racing car was completely brushing against the guardrail. Through the slow-motion playback, it can be clearly seen that the right front panel of Qin Miao’s car vibrated obviously after passing the guardrail. Performance.

Naturally, the three commentators did not hesitate to give their compliments. There was no way around it. The only top driver in the country was Qin Miao. If he didn't praise him, there would be no one else to praise him.

And if you look at the notebook next to it, they can't even blow horn fields if they want to, so they can only say Qin Miao on the Internet that the car is better.

After the screen of Qin Miao was finished, the director turned the screen to the side of Qin Miao's racing car parked at the entrance of the maintenance area, and the camera was aimed at the right front panel of Qin Miao's racing car.

You can clearly see a scratch on the outside of the wind-breaking wing of Qin Miao's right front panel, which shows how extreme Qin Miao's turn into the corner was.

If Qin Miao's turn-in angle had been 0.1° more, he would have ended up with Leclerc.

Of course, the consequence of Qin Miao's extreme performance was that the front nose was completely scrapped, and the team had to replace it with a new one during the race.

After the post-match interview and the interview, the post-match press conference has nothing to repeat.

The drivers are to explain their thoughts and practices on the track, what the team has done, and their preparations for tomorrow's race.

The only thing that is a topic is that this is Qin Miao's first start in the midstream group since entering F1. Everyone is very curious about how Qin Miao will perform on such a track that is so difficult to overtake.

In the afternoon, the press conference ended, and Qin Miao returned to the hotel to rest.

However, Qin Miao, knowing that he will have a tough challenge tomorrow, still opened the highlights of overtaking in the Monaco race in recent years. These are all prepared by the team for Qin Miao.

Qin Miao fell asleep after watching it for more than two hours.

Early the next morning, Qin Miao got up, did a little exercise to wake up her body nerves, and then went to the track early.

There is no shortage of pre-match activities and fan meetings. After all, this Monaco Grand Prix has allowed 40% of the audience to come in, so there will be no shortage of normal procedures.

However, after the pre-race activities were over, Qin Miao went to the entrance of the track at Qiu Meng's request.

An F2 race is taking place at this time. Normally, outsiders are not allowed to enter the pit area at this time, but Qin Miao is an F1 driver after all, so he does not need any proof. Qin Miao can enter the paddock by simply swiping his face.

Qiu Meng was blowing on the air conditioner in the VIP area above the Mercedes team and watching the live broadcast, while Qin Miao was on the phone with Qiu Meng while walking towards the podium.

At this time, the F2 race was not over yet, so Qin Miao asked a little puzzled: "What's the matter, can't you explain it clearly on the phone?"

Qiu Meng's voice was a bit playful: "Oh, don't ask so many questions, just go to the entrance of the maintenance area and wait.

Hey hey hey, I see you. "

Qin Miao raised her head and waved to Mei Ben's VIP area, while Qiu Meng was looking at Qin Miao with a smile on her face.

"Okay, go and wait, I'm hanging up."

Qin Miao nodded and put away his phone, then walked towards the entrance of the maintenance area.

Then Qin Miao was stopped by Prema's old teammates on the road.

Luo Xin is still so fat and wears black-rimmed glasses.

Others haven't changed much this year.

After seeing Qin Miao, the people in Prema were happy to the naked eye. Although Qin Miao failed to play for Ferrari in the end, they felt a little pity, but Qin Miao contributed countless games to Prema. It may be boring for other audiences, but for Prema Fantastic game for the staff and fans.

Therefore, everyone at Prema is very grateful to Qin Miao.

At the same time, I am also happy that Qin Miao can gain a firm foothold in F1 and rise rapidly.

But after all, it was a special period, so the old friends did not hug each other after meeting, but only fist bumped with everyone.

"Hahaha, Qin Miao, I'm really glad to see you."

Qin Miao also nodded and said: "Me too, how is the team doing recently?"

Rossin shrugged: "Without you, the team will naturally lose its dominance over all other competitors, but fortunately, the team can operate normally and is ready to compete for the annual championship again."

Qin Miao didn't know what to say at this time, but Luo Xin began to comfort Qin Miao: "In F2, you also started from the mid-stream group in the sprint race. I believe in you, all of us I believe that even if the track in Monaco is difficult, you will have a way.”

Qin Miao smiled and couldn't help but think of the days when he and Luo Xin and others were studying the training settings and celebrating after the competition when he was still in F2. At that time, he was careless and in a completely open state. Spend your youth wantonly relying on the talents given by the system.

Although it was a bit wasteful, it is indeed quite beautiful in retrospect.

After chatting with Luo Xin for a few more words and saying hello to other people in Prema, Qin Miao separated from them.

The parking area of ​​the Prema team is not too far from the entrance of the track. After two steps, Qin Miao came to the podium of the track.At this time, the place has been surrounded, ready to welcome the three drivers who won the top three.

It wasn't until this time that Qin Miao noticed that the person who ranked first in the F2 broadcast was actually Zhou Guanyu.

Now Qin Miao knew why Qiu Meng had to come and wait by herself.

The appearance of Qin Miao will naturally attract the camera of the live director.

F2 races don't attract much attention, and there are only so many things that can be photographed at the Monaco track before the race is over.

F1 can contribute no more than 10 overtaking scenes in a race on this track, let alone F2 with a standard car.

Now that Qin Miao has appeared, it is natural that he was shown the screen by the live director for the first time.

And it took a long time.

Qin Miao didn't care either. He and the staff of Zhou Guanyu's team had also met, so they reserved a spot for Qin Miao while waiting for Zhou Guanyu to cross the line.

While waiting, Qin Miao took out her cell phone and started chatting with Qiu Meng on WeChat.

The main thing was that Qiu Meng was asking Qin Miao if the birthday present she had prepared for Zhou Guanyu was ready. After all, it was only a few days before the end of the month.

Qin Miao said confidently that he would definitely like the gift prepared for Zhou Guanyu

Three minutes later, the audience who were not too many at the scene set off wave after wave of cheers. When Qin Miao turned his head to look over, he saw that Zhou Guanyu had already crossed the line and won the championship of the Monaco F3 race.

To be honest, Qin Miao really envied Zhou Guanyu. After all, he had never seen what Monaco's championship trophy looked like, not even the runner-up trophy.

Because F20 has never raced in Monaco in 2 years.

In today's Monaco Grand Prix, he started 12th, so he couldn't count on himself to get on the podium. What the team is counting on now is whether Qin Miao can help the team get as many points as possible.

Speaking of which, everything went wrong for the Mercedes team in this game.

No. [-] driver Qin Miao missed the pole position by four thousandths of a second.

Forget it, Qin Miao was fined ten places back in the game because of illegal operations.

Driver No. [-] didn't finish the last flying lap and fell directly to seventh. Thanks to driver No. [-], he was able to start from sixth.

Toto was not very happy in this race. Yesterday, both Hamilton and Qin Miao failed to make the top three grids, so he almost had a brain hemorrhage.

Although I didn’t smash the headphones, I didn’t stop saying F**k, almost catching up with the English teacher Steiner.

At that time, Toto felt a little regretful. Why didn't he let the FIA ​​give him a lighter penalty when he negotiated with the FIA? Why the hell is the child so ignorant that he can't even sit and play?
Of course, no matter what, the matter has become an established fact now, and it is useless to fight for it. After all, the FIA ​​announcement has been issued.

You can't change the order overnight, right?

On the track side, Zhou Guanyu soon drove the car back.

After getting off the car, the guy stood in the car and celebrated for a while.

Then I saw Qin Miao standing on the sidelines with a happy father's face after watching his son get good results.

Zhou Guanyu didn't pay attention to the rude expression on Qin Miao's face. He jumped out of the car with a smile and came to Qin Miao.

Instead of celebrating with his crew members, he gave Qin Miao a hug.

"Awesome, Lao Zhou." Qin Miao patted Zhou Guanyu's helmet vigorously and praised: "You have the demeanor of me in F2 back then."

Perhaps in a literal sense, Qin Miao's words are suspected of being pretentious, but when you think about Qin Miao's performance in F2 and look at Qin Miao's words, his words can really be regarded as a compliment.

However, as a bad friend, Zhou Guanyu still punched Qin Miao angrily: "I just thought you were complimenting me."

After all, there were other team members who needed to celebrate together, so after a brief chat with Qin Miao, Zhou Guanyu went to find others to celebrate.

Qin Miao stayed under the podium until the F2 awards were over.

It feels pretty good to be able to listen to the national anthem being played on the F2 podium below.

At least it shows that Qin Miao was not without the company of friends when he took this road.

The second place in today's F2 race is Drugovich whom Qin Miao knew, and the No.2 is a rookie who joined this season.

Looking at Zhou Guanyu's teammate Drugovich, Qin Miao couldn't help but wonder, if he is standing on the podium now, listening to our country's national anthem, will he recall the fear of being dominated by himself last season.

However, Qin Miao's thoughts were quickly interrupted. As the award ceremony ended and champagne started to be sprayed, Qin Miao was slapped in the face by Zhou Guanyu.

Fortunately, there was a hat blocking it, so it didn't get into the eyes.

After all, it was impossible for Qin Miao to get along with Zhou Guanyu normally in front of the camera, throwing his shoe at Zhou Guanyu as soon as he dragged it off.

But Qin Miao couldn't help cursing after being slapped on his face.

All in all, Qin Miao was very happy to see Zhou Guanyu's outstanding performance in F2.

However, Qin Miao still had things to do. There was a driver parade before the start of the game. Now his clothes were wet again, so Qin Miao had to go back and change his clothes.

After Zhou Guanyu came down and greeted him, Qin Miao went back to change clothes.

Then came the riders parade.

To be honest, it was the first time for Qin Miao to experience a driver's parade, and it really felt like a public parade.

The specific process is that after the time is up, all the drivers will gather at the entrance of the track, and then there will be a truck waiting for the drivers there.

When the time is up, the drivers will board the truck and start parading through the streets.

During this process, the drivers will also be interviewed, but the main purpose is to allow the fans at the scene to see the drivers more clearly. The interviews can only be said to be incidental.

In other free time, drivers can chat with their friends and so on.

Qin Miao naturally joined Leclerc and Norris.

The relationship between Qin Miao and Hamilton is indeed good, but the two actually don't have much in common in their daily lives.

After all, there is such a big age difference between the two, and their growth environments are completely different, so it is normal for them to be different in these aspects.

Because the habits and values ​​of the two people in daily life are not the same, so when they are together, they talk more about racing.

But Leclerc and Norris are different. After all, everyone is considered the same age, and they can also play games together during the rest time when they are not playing. Naturally, there will be more topics at this time, and Leclerc is still playing at home. Following him can also get a lot of shots and the attention of fans on the scene.

The subsequent process will not be described in detail. (End of chapter)
