How did I become an F1 driver?

Qin Miao complained once about the sound insulation of the lounge. After that, the team installed sound insulation cotton in the driver's lounge, so Qin Miao could not hear the sound outside the door after closing the door.

What Qin Miao didn't know was that just when Qiu Meng was taking her mother-in-law to the rest area above the team's P room to have something to eat and look at the scenery, Toto came back from outside after finishing FOM's interview with the team leader.

Toto naturally knew Qiu Meng, but this was really the first time he and Qin Miao's mother met.

After the two parties met, they briefly introduced each other and then chatted happily.

"Mrs. Qin, thank you very much for cultivating such an excellent racing driver as Qin Miao. Your son is now very important to the Mercedes team. Now he has become an indispensable part of the Mercedes team. Without him, this season would have been impossible." It’s really not that easy for us to win the constructors’ championship.”

Qin Miao's mother was actually able to answer Toto's question in English, and she didn't have much of an accent when she answered: "You are too polite. In fact, it is us who should say thank you. If you hadn't given Qin Miao Even if he has no chance, he will not be able to reach this level now. There is a high probability that he will run in Le Mans or other events at this time, and it is impossible to enter F1."

"Mrs. Qin, you underestimate your son too much. Qin Miao's talent is not only visible to me, but also to all the team leaders in the paddock.

If Qin Miao showed the intention to switch to other teams at that time, then I think all the mid-to-lower teams would extend an olive branch to Qin Miao. "

……

The two naturally chatted happily, and Qiu Meng, who was on the sidelines, was not surprised to hear Qin Miao's mother speaking fluent English.

But Toto is the leader of an F1 team after all. Drivers like Qin Miao have to make heavy pre-race preparations on Sunday. As a team leader, his pre-race work is no less than Qin Miao.

So after chatting for two or three minutes, Toto said goodbye to Qin Miao's mother, citing the heavy workload.

“Have a great time in the paddock and see you soon.”

"Goodbye."

In the following time, Qin Miao was immersed in the pre-match preparation activities. He did not eat too much and followed the pre-match preparation principle of eating less and more meals.

Soon, the time came to the preparation stage before the game.

After receiving Barber's notification, Qin Miao closed the screen of his laptop, put on the racing suit that he had prepared long ago and went out to the track.

Because it is the last race, Qin Miao and all the F1 drivers need to go to the track to take a group photo before the race starts.

This can be regarded as a traditional program of F1. It is a process that must be gone through before the beginning and end of each season. It is even impossible to refuse, and the drivers are also willing to participate in such activities.

Soon, Qin Miao came to the track.

At this time, FOM staff had placed six chairs at the finish line of the track, with a row of iron shelves behind the chairs.

Placed in front of the chair is a sign for this game and an explanation of the F12021 season.

These six chairs correspond to the six drivers of the top three teams in the current F12021 season.

The Mercedes team that Qin Miao and Hamilton belong to is the team champion this season, so they naturally sit on the two chairs in the middle. Then Qin Miao and the others are on the right hand are the two drivers from the Red Bull Racing Team, and on the left are the two drivers from Ferrari. driver.

As for the drivers of other teams, they took their current team rankings and stood on the high platform behind Qin Miao and the others from left to right.

Soon, a group photo of all the drivers for the 2021 season was taken at the Yas Marina Circuit in Abu Dhabi.

It is worth mentioning that there is one person missing from this photo.

The man missing was Haas's Nikita Mazepin.

Before the start of this game, Mazeping was diagnosed positive for the new crown.

Therefore, he was naturally unable to participate in this photo session. At the same time, he was also absent from the main event of today's game.

But because the substitute driver of the Haas team did not participate in qualifying for the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix on Saturday, even though a driver's position was vacant, Haas was unable to let the substitute driver come on to replace Mazepin. Participate in the competition.

Therefore, only 19 drivers participated in today's race, and there were only 19 people in this group photo before the race.

It didn’t take long to take a photo, it was over quickly.

After the photo session ended, Qin Miao and the others walked onto the back of the pre-game parade truck not far away.

After all the riders were on board, the parade truck started to move slowly.

The first person to be interviewed on the truck was Verstappen. Although he was currently only third in the standings at this time, he started the race from pole position.

During Verstappen's interview, Qin Miao had been interacting with the audience. He said that there were so many Chinese fans who came to the scene today.

Along the way of the parade, Qin Miao saw many fans waving their own national flags.

Because there are relatively few spectator seats on this track, and most of the track is bare, the time Qin Miao and the others need to be open is not too long. Most of the time, Qin Miao spends most of the time with Norris Leclerc. They were chatting with each other.

Verstappen's interview ended quickly, followed by Hamilton.

After Hamilton's interview ended, it was not extended to Norris. The host directly found Qin Miao, who was arguing with Leclerc and Norris.

Norris didn't pay too much attention to this. After the Russian stand, the edges and corners of Norris's body were basically worn away. At this moment, he felt a bit salty.

The content of Qin Miao's interview before the driver's parade was similar to the interview after yesterday's race.

It's just that the explanations are different, so I won't go into details here.

After the pre-race parade was over, and after half an hour of preparation, and after completing the final pre-race inspection of his car, Qin Miao sat in his car and was pushed to the track by Frankie and the others.

In fact, you can let Qin Miao go out for a lap to test whether there are any problems with the performance of the car, and then let Qin Miao stop on the starting grid that belongs to him.

But Qin Miao used soft tires in this race, and the wear of soft tires is particularly important, so Qin Miao was not allowed to wear out the tires too much.

……

"Good evening, viewers, today is December 2021, 12, and it is also the final game of the 12 season."

“I think today is definitely the most exciting and anticipated day for our domestic fans, and many viewers believe that this year will also be the most exciting season.”       “At the beginning of the season, we got the good news that Qin Miao is about to join Mercedes-Benz. News, and Qin Miao brought his dominant talent in F2 to F1 as soon as he joined Mercedes-Benz.

But actually at the beginning, we still thought that Qin Miao could only achieve a good result this season.

But what makes all our domestic fans ecstatic is that Qin Miao's performance on the field has not only been getting better, but as Qin Miao gradually adapted to Mercedes' car, he has even led himself online this season. Teammate, seven-time champion Hamilton. "

On the Five Star Sports side, Fei Ge said a completely different opening speech than before.

Brother Bing quickly followed up what Brother Fei said: "Yes, and before this season, we never thought that the competition this season would be so fierce.

So much so that now in the final race, there is still suspense about who will win the driver championship. "

In the end, Zhou Haoran was responsible for finishing: "Although Qin Miao failed to deal with the battery failure of the car last week in this game, so that this week Qin Miao announced on Thursday that he would replace the entire set of battery components of the car. According to the rules, Qin Miao needs to be fined. Started 10 places back.

This is out-and-out bad news, but based on Qin Miao's overtaking performance on the field this season and his strong stability, we still believe in Qin Miao and believe that he can still achieve success under many unfavorable conditions. An honor we could never have imagined before. "

After finishing his opening remarks, Qin Miao happened to appear on the Five Star Sports broadcast screen.

At this time, Qin Miao raised his head slightly and leaned on the pillow of his racing car. However, due to the obstruction of the helmet, the three commentators could only see Qin Miao's eyes and nose. From these two organs, the commentators They couldn't tell what Qin Miao's condition was at this time.

But soon, the commentators' broadcast screen came to the pre-game introduction of the map and the starting order of this game.

As for Qin Miao, the team has already prepared all the work before the start of the race. Now Qin Miao and Reyes are waiting for the warm-up lap of this race to start.

At this time, Qin Miao was more or less bored. After all, he had nothing to do now, and Qin Miao didn't want to continue listening to the songs in TR that were worse than the sound quality of the speakers bought for five yuan on Taobao.

Because Qin Miao has been preparing for the game today, Qin Miao now has a little free time to think wildly.

So after his mind was a little clearer, Qin Miao had other ideas.

Because Zhou Guanyu's F2 race has been completed today, Qin Miao wanted to ask Zhou Guanyu what the final result of this race was, and whether he won the driver's championship.

Although he had confidence in Zhou Guanyu, Qin Miao was still a little worried before the matter was completely settled.

But Qin Miao is not helpless. Anyway, the game has not started yet, and there should be more than ten minutes before the start of the game.

Without thinking much, Qin Miao got out of the car and found Barber. After asking, he felt more at ease.

Zhou Guanyu finally won the 2021 F2 driver championship without any surprises. Even in the last F2 race, Zhou Guanyu also won an F2 race championship.

This traitor has spent his last season in F2 perfectly this year. Although the driver's championship, three race championships and six sprint championships are not as good as Qin Miao's performance in F2020 in 2, they are still worthy of recognition. It is the most powerful one in the world, and it has defeated all the invincible opponents in F2.

At this moment, Zhou Guanyu seems to have taken the staff of the UNI-Virtuosi Racin team to find a place to celebrate.

After settling a matter on his mind, Qin Miao focused all his attention back on the car.

From now on, Qin Miao will only have racing in his mind.

Soon, with the notification from the FIA, all drivers were ready to compete.

The team staff and racing support personnel carrying the tires withdrew, and Qin Miao's racing car was also placed on the ground.

Before Reyes left, he still gave Qin Miao a few words of advice: "We haven't figured out the specific cause of the racing battery failure yet. We probably have to wait until we return to the factory after this season to figure it out.

But what is certain is that the battery of a racing car cannot be used in full power release mode twice in a short period of time. After using this mode once, you must give the battery at least 5 laps to cool down. "

"That means I can still use this mode in this game?" Qin Miao asked unexpectedly.

Reyes nodded: "Yes, but I suggest not to use it too many times in a short period of time, and the total number of uses in a game cannot exceed four times."

Qin Miao nodded: "I understand, is there anything else I need to pay attention to?"

Reyes thought about it carefully: "No, but everyone on our team wants to tell you, run well and don't put too much pressure on yourself. We believe you can do it."

After hearing this, Qin Miao made a little joke: "To be honest, since this week, I have heard this kind of encouragement no less than twenty times, and my ears are almost getting calluses."

Reyes smiled, reached out and patted Qin Miao's helmet and said, "This is everyone's strong expectation for you, so you must cherish it.

Okay, it’s almost time, we should retreat, happy hunting! "

"Trust me, I won't let you down." With a thumbs up to Reyes, Qin Miao returned all his attention to his car.

Soon all the staff on the track were evacuated.

At the signal from the race stewards, all the cars started and drove out of their own grid.

The tire warm-up lap begins.

During the warm-up lap, Pirelli gave the pit stop strategy for this game. Although the three tires Pirelli gave the drivers in this game were the three softest, Pirelli still gave the red and white tires. There are two one-stop pitstop strategies: one-stop and yellow-white one-stop.

After Pirelli's data was broadcast, it was followed by FOM's prediction of the final driver's championship given by the audience's vote.

Qin Miao's vote rate among the audience was 40%, while Hamilton's was 27%. Verstappen's conditions were too harsh, so his vote rate was only 10%, and the rest went to other drivers. .

In fact, Hamilton is very passive now. The reason why he has such a high audience vote rate is because of the remaining power of Hamilton's dominance in winning seven driver championships in the past few years.

And apart from this part of the audience, the only ones left with Hamilton are the British audience.

Almost the vast majority of British viewers firmly believe that Hamilton will eventually take home this year's driver's championship.

PS. I have finally paid off all the arrears of updates since the book was published, but I know that this month there are still rewards from the bosses and everyone’s monthly votes plus updates that have not been counted.

But I finally paid it off, so I took a day off. Today I only have 4000. I will continue to update tomorrow after including monthly tickets and bosses’ rewards.

Finally, I wish all readers and dads: good health, all the best, and thick hair! Never die! (End of chapter)
