How did I become an F1 driver?

Soon, the race came to the fifth lap.

At this time, the race meeting had already turned on DRS, and Qin Miao had been charging the battery that was almost exhausted after the start in the previous laps.

After the fifth lap, Qin Miao finally caught up 0.5 seconds behind Russell, and the battery power had reached 70%.

Then it's hunting time.

In the three corners T16, 17, and 18, Qin Miao stuck to the back of Russell's car, trying not to be pulled away by the opponent.

After exiting T18 and passing the DRS detection point, Qin Miao was 0.6 seconds away from Russell in front of him.

Then came T19.

T19 Russell is on the defensive line.

It can be seen that although there is no point conflict between Russell and Qin Miao, and there is a clear gap in racing performance between the two, Russell is very interested in defending Qin Miao.

The reason is naturally not difficult to guess.

Now that he had seen Russell taking the defensive line, Qin Miao naturally did not launch an attack rashly.

But take the normal route.

Because of this, Qin Miao's speed was obviously faster than Russell's after entering T19.

After T20, Russell once again took the defensive line, but the braking time was very early.

This was obviously an attempt to exit the corner side by side with Qin Miao, and to use his own line rights to squeeze Qin Miao off the track after exiting the corner.

There are sausage shoulders and grass outside the T20 corner. If Qin Miao is really squeezed through, Qin Miao's speed will definitely suffer a great loss.

A bad move may even cause damage to the car, or a mistake may lead to a direct collision with the wall and retirement from the race.

As for why Qin Miao knows so well?
For a driver who is good at defense, Qin Miao knows exactly what defensive methods the opponent uses when defending him, how to do it, and what are the prerequisites and actions for these methods.

The offense and defense in the racing industry also pay attention to the analogy.

So when he saw Russell braking before the braking point, Qin Miao roughly guessed what Xiao Jiujiu was thinking about.

Qin Miao still had some self-control, so even though he saw a large space in front of him, he did not take advantage of it. Instead, he widened his exit angle in T20 and walked to an angle. Very exaggerated crosshatching.

Seeing Qin Miao's actions, Russell's heart felt cold.

It’s over, the cross lines can’t be defended.

Although he was still angry that Qin Miao fell from the sky and took away his driver's seat in the Mercedes-Benz team.

But there is one thing to say. After this attack and defense, Russell had to admire Qin Miao's terrifying racing IQ and sense of smell.

When defending Qin Miao, basically all his attempts and struggles were useless. Russell felt that he was directly seen through by Qin Miao.

After T20, even without DRS, the acceleration of Qin Miao's car will be faster than Russell's.

Although both of them use new engines, and both are Mercedes-Benz engines.

But as a factory team, it’s normal for Mercedes to have an engine with 5 more horsepower than the customer team’s engine, right?
In addition, Qin Miao still took the intersection line, accelerating earlier than Russell, and had longer time to accelerate.

And not long after exiting the corner, there is another DRS area.

So not surprisingly, Qin Miao had already surpassed Russell before finishing the third timing section of the fifth lap.

At this time, Russell can actually still struggle, that is, turn to the left and avoid Qin Miao.

But these actions were in vain in the current situation. Looking at the Mercedes No. 66 racing car in the distance, Russell chose to accept the reality.

After surpassing Russell, Qin Miao's position moved up one place to No. 12.

The two drivers in front of him were Alfa Romeo drivers, Giovinazzi and Kimi.

Originally, the time gap between Russell and them was kept within 2 seconds, but because of the need to defend Qin Miao's attack, by the time Qin Miao caught up, the time gap between Qin Miao and Kimi had already reached 3 seconds. .

Of course, this time gap is not too long for Qin Miao.

If necessary, Qin Miao could catch up in two laps. However, considering the durability of the tires, Qin Miao still maintained his own pace to chase the driver in front of him, and did not care as much as he did in qualifying. Punch and punch.

On the seventh lap, Qin Miao caught up to the position 0.6 seconds behind Kimi.

This time Qin Miao completed the overtaking in the DRS area between T11 and T12.

Unlike Russell, when Qin Miao approached, including when he passed Kimi, Kimi did not make any defensive moves, which was equivalent to directly letting Qin Miao pass.

After overtaking Kimi, Giovinazzi was 1.2 seconds ahead of Qin Miao.

In the third period of the eighth lap, Qin Miao passed Giovinazzi where he passed Russell.

Even the way he surpassed Giovinazzi was exactly the same as when Qin Miao surpassed Russell.

Obviously, Giovinazzi did not want to lose this hard-earned point, but in the face of the absolute gap in car performance and driver strength, his resistance seemed somewhat futile.

On the eighth lap, Qin Miao completed his overtaking of Giovinazzi and reached tenth.

He went from No. 17 to [-]th in eight laps, even though four of these positions were wallets picked up by Qin Miao during the chaos at the starting stage.

But being able to pick up the wallet, and after picking up the wallet, he can continue to advance to 4 positions, is enough to prove Qin Miao's strength.

After overtaking Giovinazzi, the driver in front of Qin Miao became Gasly, and in front of Gasly was Tsunoda.

The two Toro Rosso drivers just stood in front of Qin Miao.

Thinking of the teams of these two drivers, if nothing unexpected happens, these two drivers will risk their lives to block Qin Miao's attack in this game.

Soon, it turned out that Qin Miao's guess was correct.

Because as Qin Miao came behind Gasly, Tsunoda, who was still running his own pace two seconds ahead of Gasly, slowly dropped in speed.

Although Qin Miao was not the first witness, after discovering that Tsunoda and Gasly merged, Qin Miao roughly guessed what just happened.

Marco called Toroste, the team leader of Toro Rosso.

Then Tost openly asked Tsunoda to slow down in the TR of the team, providing Gasly with DRS and wake to prevent Qin Miao's attack.

Qin Miao, who has experienced the DRS train, naturally knows how disgusting the DRS train is.

After getting stuck, even if the driver was an Arrow, it would be difficult for Qin Miao to overtake the car in front of him.

But the deceleration was much faster than Qin Miao chasing Gasly in front of him.

So Qin Miao had just surpassed Giovinazzi and was preparing to release all the power reserves in his car without leaving any room.

Tsunoda Yuki has appeared in front of Gasly.

Little Red Bull’s DRS train has been completed,
Qin Miao: rnm’s little Japan.

good good.

That's how you play, right?
Qin Miao endured his temper and followed Gasly in the DRS area to charge his car for three laps.

After Qin Miao's battery was fully charged, the race had reached lap No. 13.

Many drivers who wanted to pit for two stops also chose to pit for tire changes at this time.In fact, Tsunoda was originally planning to stop twice, but because of Qin Miao's appearance, he could only continue to persist on the track.

Help Verstappen and the others suppress Qin Miao.

But Qin Miao definitely wouldn't just give up, so after the battery was fully charged, Qin Miao directly turned on the qualifying mode of his car.

Under this mode, Qin Miao's car will use up 100% of the power Qin Miao has reserved in one lap.

Qin Miao was completely desperate.

Unfortunately, there are not many places where you can overtake other than the DRS area at the Circuit of the Americas.

Qin Miao also tried to tap more than once, but because Gasly also had DRS, Qin Miao had to suffer double turbulence after tapping, and he could not pick up the speed at all.

Both times in the DRS zone, the performance fell short before the braking point.

In the end, Qin Miao's attempt ended in failure.

Qin Miao, who returned to the DRS area behind Gasly, was a little confused, so he asked in the team TR: "What should I do? Continue running on the track?"

You must know that Tsunoda's tires were severely worn at this time. Originally, he was running a two-stop tactic, so at the beginning of the race, Tsunoda did not sparing his set of soft tires at all. There was a serious decline in grip, and the speed also dropped wildly.

Qin Miao watched helplessly as the time gap between Tsunoda and Norris in front of him widened from 5 seconds to 8 seconds, and now he was running towards the 10-second gap.

That's really true, I see it in my eyes but feel anxious in my heart.

So Qin Miao sought foreign aid from the TR team.

The team had actually discovered Qin Miao's predicament long ago, and the strategy team immediately began discussing and formulating tactics.

In fact, the team already had a new tactic on the 12th lap, but they also saw that Qin Miao had been charging the battery of his car during these three laps, so they could naturally guess what Qin Miao wanted at this time. What to do.

After all, the new tactics still caused a lot of losses to Qin Miao's speed, so they also hoped that Qin Miao's attack would be successful.

Naturally, they did not tell Qin Miao immediately that they had a new tactic, but waited until Qin Miao's attempt failed before they were ready to tell him.

But what they didn't expect was that Qin Miao spoke before them.

"If you are sure that you cannot surpass Gasly and Tsunoda, we recommend using a two-stop tactic." French said.

Qin Miao thought about it for a moment. They had never considered the two-stop strategy before the game started, but now that the situation is like this, two stops is not impossible.

However, the consequence of the temporary change of tactics at this time is that Qin Miao, the driver, has no preparation for the new tactics. Qin Miao has no idea when to pit, and has to rely on the team to remind him.

But now Qin Miao has no better choice.

Looking at the two Red Bulls driving the train in front of him, Qin Miao finally chose to trust the judgment of the team's strategy team.

"Okay, two stops, when do I pull in?"

"Next lap."

"Copy."

After deciding on the new tactics, Qin Miao started charging again.

There was no way, under the current circumstances, all Qin Miao could do was charge his car.

On lap No. 14, Qin Miao chose to pit for tire changes.

Driving into the pit area and putting on white tires, the tire change time was 2.4 seconds, which was pretty good.

After coming out, he fell behind No. 14, Mick.

And at this time, the time gap between Qin Miao and Mick in front of him was only 3 seconds, and there was not much clean air in front of Qin Miao.

But it's better to be three seconds behind Mick than to be trapped in Toro Rosso's DRS train.

"Okay, Qin Miao, your appearance lap is very important. The Toro Rosso driver may also pit in the next lap, so use all your speed."

"it is good."

After answering, Qin Miao began to push forward with all his strength.

Although 3 seconds is not a long time, it is considered to be clean air.

And on lap No. 15, Tsunoda Yuki actually pitted.

However, the Toro Rosso technician gave Qin Miao a hand. Tsunoda changed the tire in 3.4 seconds, and the right rear wheel bolt was not removed immediately.

Therefore, when Tsunoda returned to the track, he was a little confused and found that he was behind Qin Miao.

Originally, there was Gasly between him and Qin Miao, but once he entered the station, he fucked him directly behind Qin Miao.

Aether-kun's character, at this time, was naturally furious among the team TR.

However, if you play out all the words Taijun said in the team TR, you will basically not hear any sound. All you hear in your ears is the muffled bibi sound.

At this point, Toro Rosso's little DRS train has crushed Mercedes to pieces this time.

In fact, if Qin Miao did not pit, Yuki Tsunoda's tires would not be able to hold up after two more laps.

But at that time, Little Toro Rosso had completed its mission.

The game continued, and Qin Miao began to pursue quickly again.

Not long after Tsunoda came out, Qin Miao surpassed Mick in front of him and came behind Stroll.

This time period is also the time for other drivers to pit, and the rankings on the field are constantly changing.

At this time, only the two Aston Martin drivers had not pitted.

In front of Qin Miao were two Aston Martin drivers.

On lap No. 17, Qin Miao overtook Stroll, whose tire grip in front of him was significantly reduced.

There is nothing to say about this overtaking. It was not even in the DRS area. It was just at the corner of T11. Qin Miao braked late and grabbed the inside line.

After Qin Miao overtook Stroll, he was trying to charge his car while chasing Vettel in front of him.

But on lap No. 18, Vettel chose to pit for tire changes.

Qin Miao's ranking reached eighth.

Qin Miao was finally back where he should be.

The driver who appeared in front of Qin Miao at this time was Norris, and the drivers in front of Norris were Sainz, Ricciardo, Leclerc, Perez, Verstappen, and Hamilton.

It took Qin Miao 38 laps to complete the simple mode of this game, and there are still [-] laps to go.

In Qin Miao's eyes, this 38-lap race will be switched to difficult mode.

But instead of feeling nervous, Qin Miao was actually a little excited.

It's a great feeling to have drivers of equal strength fighting wheel to wheel on the track, and to finally defeat the other driver. (End of chapter)
