How did I become an F1 driver?

Chapter 340 Chapter 343: Teacher Qin Miao’s class has started (6K, plus update 716)

As for what exactly Hamilton would think, that's unclear.

But at least from the outside, Hamilton looked quite happy when he received the bonus from the team.

As one of the few F1 teams in the paddock that not only does not require capital injection from behind the team, but can even help shareholders make money, Mercedes is not stingy with its drivers, and it is also unambiguous with other staff in the team, large and small. .

Especially since the budget cap rule was officially launched this year, and the Mercedes team also won the team championship, the Mercedes team's profit this year has increased by more than 30%.

Then there’s nothing more to say, just throw a lot of money!

So counting the bonuses of the two drivers and the total bonuses received by everyone at this dinner, Mercedes-Benz paid out a total of more than 1800 million US dollars.

Of course, this money is paid by the board of directors, so it is not included in next season's budget cap.

The most enjoyable person here may be Qin Miao. Because he settled in Monaco, all of the 700 million US dollars went into Qin Miao's pocket, and he didn't have to pay a penny of tax.

After everyone got their bonuses this year, everyone in the Mercedes-Benz team returned home happily and had a carefree Christmas.

Toto originally wanted to invite Qin Miao to his home for Christmas.

After all, based on Toto's understanding of Qin Miao, he usually doesn't like these Western festivals, so he just brought Qin Miao to his home to experience the atmosphere of the Christmas festival, and at the same time, it can also increase the relationship between himself and Qin Miao. relationship, for the sake of Qin Miao's future contract.

But while chatting, I discovered that Qin Miao returned home directly after finishing the preparations here.

So Toto suppressed this idea in his heart, and there will be many opportunities in the future.

After the work was over, Qin Miao did return to Monaco immediately.

We didn't even have time to go find Leclerc for a meal. After arriving home, the family packed up their things a little and bought some gifts for the neighbors in their hometown with the help of their mother. After that, the group set off on their way back to China. journey.

Fortunately, Qin Miao had a private plane with enough space, otherwise it would be really difficult to transport these things out.

Because of the 650-kilometer range of the Gulfstream G13000, Qin Miao's return home this time was direct.

And because the environment on the plane was comfortable enough, Qin Miao didn't feel tired after the plane landed.

Different from the feeling when he returned home after just going abroad, Qin Miao didn't have such a strong feeling for the country after returning home this time.

Since there was nothing urgent to deal with this time, Qin Miao and the three of them went home and self-isolated for a week after the plane landed.

This week, Qin Miao has been playing crazy. Apart from physical training every morning, Qin Miao has not touched the simulator at home during the rest of the time. He is always playing computer games on live broadcasts.

It is worth mentioning that Qin Miao received more than 100,000 in gifts alone after one week of live broadcast.

This is because Qin Miao has never asked for gifts from the audience in his live broadcast room, nor has he ever thanked the audience for the gifts.

It can only be said that in this era, as long as you are a little famous, you can easily monetize your popularity and popularity no matter what you do.

As for the six-axis simulator at Qin Miao's home?

Qin Miao didn't feel it before, and even felt that this simulator was really awesome and had physical feedback.

But now that he is using the simulator he used to create again, Qin Miao can only describe it as slow.

Forget it, the key thing is that this simulator has a lot of feedback missing.

Not only would running a racing car on this device not bring any improvement to himself, it might even ruin his driving feel and intuition, so Qin Miao could only play games in the end.

After a comfortable week, Qin Miao followed Qiu Meng to Qiu Meng's home at the urging of her mother.

There was nothing I could do about not being able to visit Qiu Meng's parents, Qin Miao, as soon as the plane landed because they had to be quarantined. However, after the quarantine was over, it would be unreasonable not to visit because they didn't understand the etiquette.

Although this was not the first time he came to Qiu Meng's house, Qin Miao was still a little worried before meeting Qiu Meng's parents.

Although when they met Qiu Meng's parents during the summer break, the two elders' attitude towards Qin Miao was not bad.

But in Qin Miao's view, after all, he took the other party's daughter abroad for so long without a word, and was unable to come back because of the epidemic. It was not until this year that the policy was slightly relaxed that he brought Qiu Meng back. Qin Miao I'm really worried that Qiu Meng's parents will complain about me.

However, after Qin Miao came to the door with gifts, the two elders were very kind to Qin Miao, and nothing happened that Qin Miao was worried about.

After receiving the gift prepared by Qin Miao, the two elders were also very happy.

Seeing this scene, Qin Miao was slightly relieved and had a meal at Qiu Meng's house. However, Qin Miao did not stay at Qiu Meng's house in the evening, but returned to his own home.

Qiu Meng also didn't go back with Qin Miao because she hadn't spent time with her family for a long time.

After Qin Miao woke up the next day, she packed a few clothes and went to Shanghai alone.

This is not Qin Miao going out to do bad things alone. The main reason why Qin Miao left at this time was because Yili wanted Qin Miao to hurry up and complete the contract.

Qin Miao also understands Yili. After all, when Qin Miao was just a very potential F1 driver, Qin Miao's side was actually the weak side. After all, Yili was the financial backer.

But now that Qin Miao has won the F1 world championship, Qin Miao's national support and popularity have been rising sharply, and Yili's sales have also soared. Now the tide is turning, and it is Yili's turn to worry about Qin Miao's disapproval. The three melons and two dates given by Yili no longer paid attention to the contents of Yili's contract.

At the same time, Zhou Guanyu has now returned to Shanghai. A few days ago, when Qin Miao was in isolation, Zhou Guanyu invited Qin Miao to his home.

There is also the operating company of the competition. Qin Miao, who was invited by Jiushi International Sports, went over to be interviewed. Then he walked around the competition and recorded a video for them.

The last thing is the CCTV interview.

In short, Qin Miao has a lot of work after returning to China.

As for why I didn’t bring Qiu Meng with me...

The main reason is that Qiu Meng has been away from home for too long during this period. Although Qiu Meng's parents have not said it, it can be seen that the elders really miss their daughter.

And Qin Miao couldn't take them around the country. It didn't matter if he was alone, and he wasn't afraid at all. But if Qiu Meng and the others were diagnosed, it would be very troublesome in the country.

It's definitely not that Qin Miao hasn't stayed up all night for a long time. Now he finally found an opportunity without Qiu Meng's supervision. He wanted to re-experience the feeling of playing games online all night in an Internet cafe.

Qin Miao set off in the morning and landed at Hongqiao Airport before noon.

When I walked out of the airport terminal, I saw a red Alfa Romeo parked at the entrance of the terminal. Zhou Guanyu in the driver's seat was playing with his mobile phone with his head down in boredom.

That's right, after arriving in Shanghai, Qin Miao didn't even need to call for a taxi. He was directly picked up by a driver.

Qin Miao even wanted to live at Zhou Guanyu's house.

However, based on the relationship between the two, living in the other person's home is basically the same as living in your own home.

It is worth mentioning that Qin Miao is more or less aware of his popularity in China. After returning to China, whether it is Weibo, Douyin, Bilibili, Kuaishou and other video platforms, Qin Miao can often view his own videos, and these Videos related to oneself are generally very popular.

Therefore, after Qin Miao returned to China, she never took off her mask and sunglasses whenever she went out.

Zhou Guanyu was playing with his cell phone with his head down when he suddenly heard someone knocking on his car window.

When he turned around and looked over, he saw a man wearing a mask, sunglasses and a cap standing next to his car.

Zhou Guanyu did not recognize the person's identity for the first time. After all, it was winter in Shanghai and Shanghai was a typical cold and humid area.

So Qin Miao wore a lot of clothes and his face was fully armed.

But Zhou Guanyu soon noticed Qin Miao's neck.

Well, the neck is as thick as the head, and it was Qin Miao's grandson who knocked on my car window at this time.

Zhou Guanyu rolled down the car window: "oi!"

Qin Miao didn't say anything. After confirming that it was Zhou Guanyu's car, he took two steps back and even walked around Zhou Guanyu's car.

"You haven't officially entered Aro yet, right? Is it now open?"

Zhou Guanyu also turned to look at the interior of his Alfa Romeo Stelvio, and said helplessly, "There is no way. After all, we have signed a contract with the Arrow Racing Team. The title sponsor requires that starting from the signing, all drivers' daily travels will If you want to drive, you have to drive Arrow’s car.”

After saying that, Zhou Guanyu also got out of the car, took the suitcase from Qin Miao's hand, and walked to the trunk of his car.

After Zhou Guanyu took the suitcase in his hand, Qin Miao didn't feel anything inappropriate, so he opened the car door and got in.

When Zhou Guanyu put Qin Miao's suitcase and returned to the driver's seat, Qin Miao asked curiously: "How is the driving experience of this car?"

But Zhou Guanyu did not answer Qin Miao's question immediately. Instead, he was stunned for a moment after hearing Qin Miao's question. He turned around and saw Qin Miao sitting in the back row. Then Zhou Guanyu said angrily: "Where are you going?" What are you doing? Sit in front."

"Tsk, you're out of town, aren't you?" Even though Qin Miao said so, he still returned to the front honestly.

The world champion belongs to the world champion, and you cannot take advantage of this.

After Qin Miao sat in the passenger seat, Zhou Guanyu said: "To be honest, I feel okay, but if you ask me to take the initiative to buy an Arrow, I will never buy it."

Qin Miao asked curiously: "Why?"

"For some reason, I can't appreciate the design aesthetics of this racing car, especially the front face."

"Okay, but just say this to me. Don't say this when other people are present, especially since you are Arrow's driver."

Zhou Guanyu curled his lips: "Do you really think I'm stupid?"

Then Qin Miao looked at Zhou Guanyu with the eyes of a child who has finally grown up: "Yeah, yes, it's my problem."

The more Zhou Guanyu listened, the more he felt that something was wrong with Qin Miao's words, but there was nothing he could do about it. He was driving now, and for F1 drivers, not driving on the track, everything was about safety, so he was not involved in this matter. Study in depth.

On the way to Zhou Guanyu's house, Qin Miao asked on a whim, perhaps out of boredom, "Are there any activities tonight? Let's take my friends to see the world." Zhou Guanyu glanced sideways at Qin Miao and sneered. Do you know what kind of person Qin Miao is?

Although you say so, if you really drag him to the places where rich people like to go, he will run faster than anyone else.

Moreover, Zhou Guanyu did not dare to take Qin Miao there because he was afraid that Qiu Meng would kill him if he found out.

"No, people like you should just stay at home and play games. It's useless to think so much."

……

Soon, Zhou Guanyu's house arrived.

In the elevator, Zhou Guanyu asked curiously: "How many days will you stay in Shanghai this time?"

"I don't know. There's a lot of work. I can leave when I finish."

"Tsk, that's great. I still have a job at this time, so I must have made a lot of money, right?"

"Hey, except for Yili's advertisements and variety shows, which are there to make money, the other working buddies are just working for free."

Zhou Guanyu raised his eyebrows: "Can you, Qin Miao, willingly work for others for free? I don't believe it."

"CCTV seemed to have another special interview and invited me, but it was too far to go to BJ, so I declined. There was also an exclusive interview with Jiushi Sports, and Shanghai TV also invited me by the way. Finally, That's Yili." Qin Miao counted his fingers one by one in front of Zhou Guanyu.

"Good guy, they are all state-owned enterprises." Zhou Guanyu said in surprise: "The key is that you are also awesome, you really dare to refuse."

"Why don't you dare?" Qin Miao shrugged: "I really don't have time."

While they were chatting, the elevator also arrived at Zhou Guanyu's home floor.

Looking at Zhou Guanyu who used his fingerprint to unlock the door of his house, Qin Miao asked curiously: "What's the password at home?"

"2048." Zhou Guanyu answered simply without thinking.

"Oh, I will steal your fruit next time I come to your house."

"Is this all you have to offer?"

Qin Miao touched his chin and thought, then asked tentatively: "Then next time I come to your house, I will scald all your green plants to death with boiling water?"

Zhou Guanyu was speechless. After opening the door, he said with great disgust: "Stop talking nonsense, do you look like a world champion now? Come in quickly.

I have asked the maid to prepare the bed and other things for you. The toiletries are also available in the room. You can just take them and use them. "

"Justice." Qin Miao cupped her hands.

Zhou Guanyu waved his hand and said, "It is only natural for a father to take care of his son."

"QNMD!"

The decoration style of Zhou Guanyu's house in Shanghai is similar to the one he had in the UK. It is also a large flat-floor house with very few decorations, making it relatively spacious.

Maybe he just likes this style of decoration.

But when Qin Miao put the things in the room prepared by Zhou Guanyu, Zhou Guanyu opened his racing simulator.

Seeing Qin Miao coming out, Zhou Guanyu immediately waved to Qin Miao: "World champion, help me look at the data I have run in recent times. Please give me some pointers if there are any deficiencies."

After hearing Zhou Guanyu's words and seeing his actions, Qin Miao's lips twitched: "Stay here and wait for me."

Although he complained, Qin Miao did not refuse Zhou Guanyu's invitation.

After taking a bottle of Coke from the refrigerator, Qin Miao walked to Zhou Guanyu's racing simulator, unscrewed the cap of the Coke bottle and asked, "Aro's simulator?"

"Yes, Arrow developed it himself."

"How do you feel?" Qin Miao took a sip of the Coke in his hand after asking, and then said "ha~".

"Not as good as the original god." Zhou Guanyu said.

Qin Miao glanced at Zhou Guanyu: "Stop playing tricks at this time."

"Oh, okay." Zhou Guanyu regained his seriousness and said: "It feels average. A lot of feedback has not been done. It is not on the same level as Mercedes' simulator, and it is not even comparable to Renault's."

Qin Miao nodded: "I'll try Arrow's simulator first, and then I'll help you look at the data."

"Row."

Soon, half an hour later, Qin Miao closed the simulator in front of him, and then began to retrieve the videos of Zhou Guanyu's recent run, as well as various telemetry data recorded by the simulator itself.

After watching it for more than ten minutes, Qin Miao complained: "It's almost there, but Arrow's simulator is really a bit rubbish. Many of the feedbacks are the same whether it's done or not, and the numerical values ​​are a bit far apart, but fortunately it's still usable.

Let me think about it, please remember..."

After Qin Miao finished speaking, Zhou Guanyu took out a recording pen and looked at Qin Miao.

Qin Miao didn't care, and directly started to help Zhou Guanyu analyze his driving flaws: "First of all, you turned a little late in the T1 of Silverstone, and it was also because you turned the direction and entered the corner late, so in order to pursue the accuracy of turning in, you When entering a corner, the steering wheel was turned very wide." Qin Miao paused the video and began to tell Zhou Guanyu about some of his shortcomings.

"You can't bring over those habits you had in F2. Although F1 and F2 are both called formula cars, you have to know that although they are similar, the difference between them is the difference between monkeys and humans. They are not the same species. .

The sensitivity of an F1 car is much higher than that of an F2 car, and any mistake you make will be reflected in your lap time.

The correct approach to this corner is to enter the corner earlier, and when entering the corner, be as gentle as possible... I will show you how. "

While talking, Qin Miao started another Silverstone qualifying simulation on Arrow's simulator. After starting a flying circle using the system's built-in cornering rhythm, Qin Miao personally demonstrated the T1's corner entry and exit. Exit the bend.

Qin Miao did not run after exiting the corner. Instead, he paused the game and compared his exit speed with Zhou Guanyu's.

"You see, my cornering speed is the same as yours, but I entered the corner earlier. During this process, I walked very softly. After the T1 run, I was 0.04 seconds faster than you."

Although this time difference is not big, it is just a corner. A little adds up to a big difference. Running down two corners, the time gap between Qin Miao and Zhou Guanyu is likely to be 0.1 seconds. After one lap, It is very likely that the time difference is only 0.5 seconds.

This is the gap between ordinary F1 drivers and top F1 drivers in their understanding and feeling of racing.

"Also, why did you first practice for Silverstone instead of Bahrain, the opening game of this year?" Qin Miao asked curiously.

At this time, Zhou Guanyu moved a lazy sofa and placed it next to the simulator seat. After hearing Qin Miao's words, Zhou Guanyu stopped the recorder and explained: "I'm not considering my position after next season's schedule. In this race, is Silverstone the most familiar track? I’m going to make myself stronger.”

But Qin Miao said: "The key is that it's useless for you to do this."

Before Zhou Guanyu could ask with a puzzled expression, Qin Miao continued: "You don't need to practice Silverstone at this time. F1 is not F2, and you can't run F2 races with the same thinking as F1 before.

Although F1 also values ​​the speed of its drivers, in the final analysis, F1 is all about the research and development capabilities of each team's racing cars.

Therefore, in addition to helping the team collect data, the F1 driver running simulator is also more about getting familiar with the track.

Your proficiency in Silverstone is really high now. Don’t think about anything else at this time. Run more games in the opening game of next season. If you get points directly in the opening game, your father’s face will be bright, right? ? "

At the beginning, Zhou Guanyu was indeed listening very carefully to Qin Miao's analysis of these things for him.

After all, the one-on-one guidance of the F1 world champion is really not something that ordinary people can enjoy.

The most important thing is that you don't have to spend a dime, it's all for free.

But as he listened, Zhou Guanyu noticed something was wrong: "Why the hell are you taking advantage of me!"

Qin Miao said nothing, but gave Zhou Guanyu a faint look.

Zhou Guanyu immediately became honest: "You continue, you continue."

Qin Miao nodded with satisfaction, and then continued to analyze some of Zhou Guanyu's deficiencies in details.

In fact, Zhou Guanyu is also a very talented driver, with good long-distance ability and offensive ability.

But it's just a little slow to warm up.

Qin Miao looked at Zhou Guanyu's data and found that Zhou Guanyu needed a period of adaptation in the early stage before he could show a speed that matched his strength.

This is a big trouble for the team, because Zhou Guanyu was unable to show his full speed immediately during the practice session. The consequence was that the team would be suspended for at least half of the practice session, and this half of the practice session was It was left to Zhou Guanyu to get familiar with the track.

So after spending more than half an hour correcting some details of Zhou Guanyu's performance at Silverstone, Qin Miao said: "Actually, you still have a lot of room for improvement. My suggestion is to try more different trainings, and then under different trainings Push the speed of this adjustment to the limit in the shortest possible time.”

"Why is this? And when I watched your F1 races, except for those races where the track changed due to the environment and rain, your practice speed was never faster than your qualifying speed." Zhou Guanyu asked curiously.

Qin Miao glanced at Zhou Guanyu: "I did that because there was Verstappen behind me, and Hamilton was also my competitor.

If you use all your strength too early, the opponent will look at your speed.

Oh, that’s not right. Why is this guy so fast? Look at the video replay, oh! This place can still be run like this, I will try it in the next practice session.

What should I do if his qualifying speed is the same as yours, or even faster than yours? "

Zhou Guanyu was stunned for a moment, but when he thought about it carefully, he felt that Qin Miao's words seemed to make sense.

No wonder Hamilton can always take out a 3-second speed advantage from his crotch to get the final pole position every time he reaches Q0.3 in qualifying.
