How did I become an F1 driver?

And what about Qin Miao?His speed was the same as his last flying lap in Q2, and he was able to maintain his ranking, but it was a bit far behind the first two drivers.

1:26:634, ranking third.

It can be said that whether it is the audience, Hamilton, Red Bull or Mercedes, everyone thinks that Q3 is the stage for Hamilton and Verstappen, and has nothing to do with other drivers.

And under such circumstances, when Qin Miao stopped in the P room of the team to rest, refuel and change tires, he silently opened his system and called up his own attribute interface in the system.

Qin Miao took another look at his backpack.

[Free attribute points: 4]

Qin Miao took a deep breath. It took him so long to obtain the system, but he had only accumulated 4 free attribute points in total. All of them were added to his ranking ability at once. To be honest, Qin Miao was really reluctant to part with it, but thinking about the rewards given by the system, And the sincere teachings of the British audience at the scene.

Qin Miao's eyes narrowed.

All of his free attribute points were added to his ranking ability.

I can't do it!

If Qin Miao had improved so much in the past, the flow of knowledge fed to him by the system would have made him cry out in pain on the spot.

But it's different now. Qin Miao's physical fitness has been greatly improved, so after adding this point, Qin Miao's mind just has some more details and skills that he didn't know much about before.

After Qin Miao simply digested it for a while, he was sure that these extra skills could definitely increase his qualifying lap speed by about 0.3 seconds.

In this way, the gap between Qin Miao and Hamilton in qualifying is basically gone.

As for the gap between Qin Miao and Hamilton of more than 0.5 seconds, even if the 0.3 seconds are subtracted, wouldn't there still be 0.2 seconds?Why is it just gone?
But what if Qin Miao deliberately slowed down these 0.3 seconds?

Just like all previous qualifying races, when did Qin Miao really exert his strength until the last lap of Q3?
So according to Qin Miao's own estimation, his final flying lap speed in Q3 will not be slower than Hamilton.

But whether they can surpass their teammates and get first place in qualifying depends on the performance of the two drivers on the track.

Reyes confirmed the track conditions, and at Qin Miao's request, Qin Miao, who had put on new soft tires, was released with 3 minutes left in the countdown to the end of Q3.

During this period, Qin Miao was the first to come out and run the last flight lap of Q1.

In fact, it is a bit dangerous to come out at this time, because there is a high probability that you will encounter a slow car. If you are blocked, Qin Miao's result in the last flying lap of Q3 will be ruined.

But Qin Miao is a driver after all, and he has independent decision-making power to a certain extent.

After Qin Miao went out, Toto frowned and kept looking at all the data of Qin Miao's game today. He always felt that something was wrong with Qin Miao, but Qin Miao's performance was different from his previous qualifying games. There was no difference, but Toto just felt something was wrong.

On the track, after driving out, Qin Miao tried his best to protect his tires while warming up his tires. Finally, he passed the finish line one and a half minutes before the Q3 stoppage of the race and started his last flight lap. of speeding.

At this time, other drivers had also run out of the pit area and started their warm-up laps on the track.

However, because Qin Miao was the only car running the flying lap on the track at this time, the drivers who could enter Q3 were basically paying attention to Qin Miao's movements, so there was no car on the track blocking Qin Miao's final run. A bad situation in a flying circle.

After entering T16, Qin Miao entered the qualifying state.

Qin Miao did a good job exiting T17 and T18. When exiting the corner, his speed was at least 3 kilometers per hour faster than his last flying lap in Q5.

Then the car crossed the finish line with full throttle and officially started the last flight lap of Q3.

T1 is at full throttle, but because Silverstone is a high-speed track, a slight disturbance of the steering wheel may affect the speed of the car at the limit.

So even though T1 is a full-throttle corner, the steering wheel steering when entering and exiting the corner needs to be as soft as possible. This can help the car maintain its own speed and prevent too much tire grip from being wasted. The steering is separated, which can give the car more advantages in acceleration.

It is worth mentioning that this place may look ordinary, but the lateral G force can reach 4G when cornering.

T2 also uses the same cornering method as T1, and then comes to T3.

After exiting T2, he went to the far left side of T3 with full throttle. At this time, the outside of Qin Miao's rear wheel was basically pressing on the white line on the left side of the track.

When entering the road shoulder, start braking, drop to fourth gear and enter the corner at high speed, because this corner is relatively long.

Qin Miao took a lot of kerbs at the apex of the bend, almost to the point where the red sausage kerb would hit Qin Miao and bounce him up.

It becomes more difficult to handle after exiting T3, because the car is on the left side of the track after exiting, but T4 is a left-hand corner, so if you want to gain speed, the car must be as close to the right side of the track as possible when entering the turn, but The straight section between T3 and T4 is very short, and there is simply not enough space for Qin Miao to pull his car to the right immediately.

And there is a long straight after T4. If T4 does not perform well, the speed of the car in the following long straight will be very slow, which will also have a great impact on the lap time.

Therefore, it is difficult to choose the turning point before entering T4.

After exiting the turn, Qin Miao turned right and was about two meters away from the shoulder on the right side of the track. He started to slow down and enter the turn four-fifths of the way to the right side of the track.

A normal driver's tire temperature is already very high when he gets here, because the first two high-speed corners with full throttle, a heavy braking area and then a long slow turn will heat up the tires quickly, so when a normal driver gets here, the tire temperature Almost 140°.

Therefore, the steering transition when the T4 brakes and enters the corner and the understeer when the accelerator is applied to exit the corner will be very serious.

But Qin Miao did not have this problem. At this time, the sensor showed that Qin Miao's tire temperature was only slightly higher than the operating temperature by 3°. Although it was somewhat higher than the specified operating temperature, it was not much higher. The performance of Qin Miao's tires was still the same. Excellent.

Naturally, Qin Miao's entry into the high-angle corner T4 was still very fierce, and the curb was full. Qin Miao even ate a little sausage shoulder because of his slow speed.

After exiting the corner, Qin Miao started accelerating at full throttle before the car was fully aligned, but the control of the steering wheel was still gentle.

After passing T5, turn on DRS when passing the DRS monitoring point and sprint with all your strength.

Qin Miao finished his first timing segment in the middle of the DRS area.

And his first time period went straight to purple, 0.211 seconds faster than his teammate Hamilton.

After seeing this result, Toto's eyelids twitched, and he suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

Everyone's joys and sorrows are not the same. Totuo frowned and realized that things were not simple. At the same time, the three commentators on Five Star Sports saw Qin Miao paint purple in the first time period and jumped directly from their own eyes in excitement. He stood up in his position.

Could it be that?
Although Qin Miao's steering wheel also showed that his first timing segment was painted purple, Qin Miao did not even focus on the purple color on the steering wheel, but was observing the track wholeheartedly.

Qin Miao's tire temperature was also a bit high in T6. After all, there was another high-speed curve just after exiting the corner, and now there was another heavy braking curve in front of him.

However, Qin Miao, who has run through the simulation of qualifying and the three flying laps in qualifying, clearly knows how to deal with this.

The braking ratio is adjusted backward to reduce the load on the front wheels and increase the load on the rear wheels, which can effectively deal with understeer when entering corners.

Then start the differential, which can make Qin Miao's cornering smoother.

Brake all the way to the 50-meter road sign and start turning. The curve is very long, so it is usually very late when you arrive at the apex. Therefore, when you first enter the turn, stay farther away from the inside of the track. The purpose is to be able to cut to the left. The true center of bend.

Then cut the shoulder and you can eat a lot of it.

When Qin Miao was cutting the apex, the outside of the rear wheel even slightly ate the sausage shoulder, but fortunately it was not much and did not bounce Qin Miao's car up.

After exiting the corner, quickly pull the car back to the left and start entering T7.

This is another long bend, and there are so many long bends like these at Silverstone.

When cornering here, it feels a bit like putting a triangular roof on a round ball.

First cut the apex a little bit and then come to an invisible APEX point in the bend, and then cut the apex a little to exit the bend.

After exiting the corner, in order to achieve sufficient speed, one cannot eat too much of the road shoulder. When Qin Miao exited the corner, she did not even eat the road shoulder. She went straight out of the corner with full throttle and headed straight for T8.

The next two corners, T8 and T9, are full-throttle corners.

Also pay attention to the softness of the steering wheel when cornering, and you don't need to pay too much attention to other things.

However, T9 is a challenge for all drivers' necks, because when passing this corner, Qin Miao's neck will receive a lateral G force of 5.2 G.

Counting the weight of his head and helmet, Qin Miao's neck was pressed down with nearly [-] pounds of pressure.

My body also felt as if hundreds of kilograms of weight were pressed down on me.

Normal people would definitely not be able to stand it here, but Qin Miao, like all other F1 drivers, has long been accustomed to this feeling.

After passing T9, all the way to T11 is a full-oil road. As long as you follow the normal route, there will be no problem.

However, because the subsequent turns are continuous turns, each turn must be prepared for the next turn, and the turn must be entered smoothly.

T10 false corner, you can take a little bit of the road shoulder when cornering, and then all the way to T11, you can also take a little bit of the road shoulder here, and still maintain full throttle after exiting the corner.

But there will be some deceleration in the next T12, so after exiting T11, you need to lean more to the right side of the track to have a larger angle of entry.

When turning this corner, if the downforce of the car is enough, you can slightly relax the accelerator, but if the downforce is adjusted to be relatively low, you have to apply a slight brake.Some drivers even step on the accelerator and brake when passing this corner.

When cornering, the car stays in eighth gear and fills up the road shoulder.

Exit the corner as far to the left as possible, then release the accelerator and apply the brakes in a very short time, and lower the car to 6th gear.

Use the braking force of the racing engine itself to assist in deceleration.

Then apply the accelerator in advance before the apex of T13.

During the acceleration process, tighten the cornering center and immediately apply the gas to start accelerating after finding the appropriate exit angle.

The next T14 is another false turn, but in order to have enough distance to accelerate when exiting the turn, after the position is set, you need to take the shortest route close to the left side and fill up the road shoulder as much as possible.

Because in this way, the exit from T13 to T14 will be a straight line.

Turn on DRS when exiting T14.

At the same time, the results of the second timing section of Q3's last flying lap were also released. However, Qin Miao's time was not as fast as Hamilton's Q3's first flying lap. The result was only green, but Qin Miao's overall score was Still faster than Hamilton.

Next is the longest straight on the Silverstone track. During this process, all Qin Miao needs to do is step on the accelerator into the fuel tank, and then stabilize the steering wheel of his car to avoid disturbance of the steering wheel as much as possible, which will affect the acceleration performance of the car. affect.

After that, the car approached the left side of the track and began to brake hard and slow down, and the car's balance was adjusted backwards, because this corner was a long one and it was necessary to slow down and negotiate the turn at the same time.

Downshift to sixth gear in the middle of the corner, and then apply the gas early before reaching the apex of the corner.

There is basically no reference for this corner, and the grass on the right is higher than the track, so it is basically a blind corner. The routing depends entirely on the driver's own memory and horoscopes. When exiting the corner, he can only rely on himself. Days of practice and a certain degree of praying to gods and Buddhas.

After exiting the corner, accelerate at full throttle in sixth gear.

In the not-too-long period between T15 and T16, Qin Miao adjusted the braking point of his car forward and locked the differential.

After crossing the white line, I braked hard at about 70 meters, downgraded to third gear, and entered the bend after passing the 50-meter road sign.

The next two corners are very important. After exiting T16, you have to consider T17, so don’t lean too far to the right side of the track after exiting the corner.

After all, the straight after T17 is long enough, and a good exit from this corner will have a greater impact on the overall lap speed.

At this time, drivers all know what to choose.

At T17, cut the inside shoulder, and then go out of the corner with full throttle. Use the left shoulder to the limit, almost eating up the sausage shoulder, but be careful that the right rear wheel cannot exceed the white line.

Qin Miao went to the extreme limit here, and the white line could be seen on the outside of the right front wheel. However, because the right rear wheel was wider than the front wheel, the car was stuck at that limit when passing through this corner.

After exiting the corner here, the race became simple. I ran at full throttle and finally cut through the shoulder of the false turn T18, and then crossed the line all the way.

After Qin Miao crossed the finish line, there were still more than 1 seconds before Q20 stopped the clock.

But at this time, no one paid attention to how long it was until the end of the game. Everyone focused on Qin Miao's lap time.

After Qin Miao crossed the line, Qin Miao's results successfully dropped to the first place.

The colors of Qin Miao’s three timing sections in qualifying Q3 are: purple, green and purple.

Time 1:25:891.

Qin Miao's result was a full 3 seconds faster than his teammate Hamilton's first flying lap in Q0.24.

The three commentators who had been waiting for a long time cheered in the studio after seeing Qin Miao's result.

"Pretty!"

"Qin Miao was even 0.2 seconds faster than Hamilton!
You must know that this is Hamilton, who is known as Liu Yiyi, and it is also at Hamilton's home court! "

"Yes! That's it! Only by defeating his teammates on the field can Qin Miao's path in the F1 field be wider and wider."

"Hahaha, this is the F1 we ​​love to watch!"

……

After Toto saw this result, the corners of his eyes jumped even more. He finally knew why he was a little uneasy before the start of this game.

It turns out that this kid Qin Miao is planning to rebel!

But Toto can't say anything to Qin Miao about this matter. You can't allow others to be outstanding?
But this is the UK's home stadium. Although Hamilton is not a small-minded person, but if you beat him at his home stadium, he will definitely be a little unhappy in his heart.

Now Toto only hopes that Hamilton can defeat Qin Miao in the last flying lap of Q3.

Even if they don't win, they don't want to repeat the famous scene of Rosberg and Hamilton. They can just make a double retreat for themselves in the British Grand Prix.

Toto prayed silently in his heart.

On Hamilton's side, he had just finished his first timing segment. At this time, his first timing segment result was not as fast as Qin Miao's, just green, but it was not much slower, with a gap of only 0.1 seconds.

Just like Qin Miao will not suffer mental instability because he did not perform well in a timing period, Hamilton will not have any emotional fluctuations because he did not outrun his teammates in the first timing period and is still immersed in it. In the flight circle.

And Qin Miao was also waiting for the final result on the way back to the field.

Because he started running the flying lap relatively early, Qin Miao was overtaken by the subsequent drivers who came out for qualifying during the return lap.

While returning to the field, Qin Miao kept observing the changes in ranking displayed on the steering wheel of his racing car with his peripheral vision.

Although he was temporarily in first place at this time, Hamilton had not finished the last lap after all. As a seven-time champion, he may regain the first position at any time.

And it is worth mentioning that when Russell and Norris ran flying laps on the field, the atmosphere of the audience was really full.

Wherever the two men ran, the cheers from the audience rang out.

It's like they brought an extra stereo with them when they ran a race.

Soon, Hamilton came to the last three corners of the third timing section.

Just when everyone thought Hamilton was about to bring back the green, purple and purple, Hamilton's car had a very brief loss of rear wheel grip during the exit stage of T17.

When the car came out of the corner, there was an obvious tail spin, which meant that the rear wheel had insufficient grip.

The audience at the scene naturally exclaimed when they saw this.

Although Hamilton quickly stabilized his car, this mistake directly ruined Hamilton's last flying lap in Q3.

In the end, when Hamilton crossed the line, he was unable to refresh his fastest lap, let alone catch up with Qin Miao.

As for the Red Bull behind the two Mercedes, Verstappen also made a small mistake like Hamilton, but unlike Hamilton, Verstappen made the mistake in the second timing period.

Neither of them could set a new fastest time on the last flying lap of Q3.

At this time, the scene had stopped.

That is to say...

"Qin Miao! First! You won first place! The first pole position in your career!" After Hamilton and Verstappen crossed the line one after another, Frankie was a little excited, even incoherent. The voice appeared on Qin Miao's radio.

But in fact, the result of this qualifying race is not the pole position. This qualifying race only determines the starting order of tomorrow's sprint qualifying, and the first place in the sprint qualifying is the pole position.

However, Qin Miao didn't pay too much attention to these details at this moment. After hearing Franky's voice, Qin Miao let out a sigh of relief. Finally, nothing happened.

After letting go of this breath, Qin Miao realized belatedly that even if this was not the pole position, this was the first qualifying first in his career.

In an instant, a huge sense of accomplishment and pleasure came over me.

You know, this is the British Silverstone. Qin Miao can win the qualifying championship at the British home court. This feeling is a bit like showing off in front of someone you don't like.

"Hooooo~Yes!" Qin Miao shouted excitedly in TR.

At the same time, Hamilton's failure to take first place brought great frustration to the British audience.

For a moment, the audience in the paddock fell silent.

It was completely opposite to the treatment Russell Norris received when he ran the qualifying race. When the two of them ran the qualifying race, they were cheered wherever they went.

But now Qin Miao is quiet wherever he goes.

But after all, everyone is a loyal fan of Hamilton, so after accepting the fact that Hamilton did not win the pole position, although there was no cheering on Hamilton's return, no matter where Hamilton went, he could still hear the audience cheering for him. A round of applause.

This is an encouragement to Hamilton and an inspiration to Hamilton. (End of chapter)
