How did I become an F1 driver?

Jay Chou didn't realize the seriousness of the situation at this time, and asked curiously: "How does it feel to drive this AMG GT?"

Qin Miao did not answer Jay Chou's question immediately, but said with a smile: "Get ready to go, hold on tight, fasten your seat belt, and you will know after we get on the track and feel it for yourself."

After hearing Qin Miao's words, Jay Chou nodded in agreement, then checked his equipment. After making sure it was OK, he nodded and said, "I'm ready."

Qin Miao smiled: "One last reminder, if you feel uncomfortable and want to vomit... don't vomit on me, otherwise you will be blacklisted."

After Qin Miao finished speaking, before Jay Chou could react, Qin Miao kicked the floor and the rear wheels of the car instantly broke through the limit of the car's grip and began to spin on the spot.

However, because we have run a few laps before, the two rear wheels of this AMG GT are still warm enough.

So half a second later, the rear wheels of the car regained grip, and instantly provided the car with huge thrust to start smoothly.

Before Jay Chou could realize the specific meaning of Qin Miao's words, he was pressed into the bucket seat of the racing car.

Qin Miao, who was sitting in the main driving position, seemed to be okay. He even adjusted the steering wheel to correct the car's thrust after starting.

However, as the speed of the car became faster and faster, the G force on Jay Chou's side became smaller and smaller. When he could speak, Qin Miao heard a vague: "Stay north!"

Qin Miao smiled slightly, and it was obvious that Qin Miao was enjoying it.

However, the AMG GT racing car has its limits. The places where Qin Miao can make Jay Chou feel the most exciting are only the two heavy braking points of T27 and T1, plus at most one long corner of T13.

Because Qin Miao was pushing forward with all his strength without any reservation, when he arrived at these places, Qin Miao could often see from the corner of his eye that Jay Chou subconsciously grasped the handrails of the racing car, and the masseter muscles on both sides of his cheeks bulged.

Different from Jay Chou's nervousness, after getting used to the speed of F1, and then driving such a mass-produced supercar, Qin Miao only felt like he was driving a health care car, even if the car had been pushed to the limit by Qin Miao.

Because Qin Miao didn't feel much pressure during the whole process. After all, the overall lateral G force of this car was only about 2.4 G at its highest.

This kind of G force is completely relaxing for Qin Miao, an F5 driver who is used to being able to pull 1G when cornering.

After being pulled by Qin Miao for two laps, Jay Chou's face began to turn pale visibly.

It is estimated that Jay Chou has reached the limit of his endurance.

However, Qin Miao was also measured. After discovering that Jay Chou was not in the right state, he slowed down a little and returned to the pit area on the third lap.

In fact, Jay Chou's endurance is really not bad. A singer who can hold concerts all over the world definitely has a big heart.

The reason why he started to look embarrassed after running a few laps was mainly because of Qin Miao's driving style.

Strictly speaking, the Jeddah Circuit is a street. There are basically no buffer zones on both sides of the track. The edge of the track is a protective wall.

Moreover, when sitting in a car, due to the limited viewing angle, both the driver and the passengers will feel a particularly strong sense of speed when looking outside. People who are not familiar with this feeling may even feel afraid of it.

In addition, before Jay Chou went on the track to experience it, Qin Miao said that he would lead him to sprint for two laps, so Qin Miao treated these laps as qualifying.

There is no need to test the limit of the car. Basically, after Qin Miao got into the car, he already understood everything about the car. Next, with Qin Miao's ability, what is the next step to push the car to the limit? A very simple thing.

Therefore, from the combination of the two factors, Jay Chou's perspective is that every time the car turns and exits the corner, it rubs against the guard wall. The feeling of being close to hitting the guard wall directly is extremely strong.

Under the dual physical and psychological torture, Jay Chou turned pale. Not vomiting it out in the car was Jay Chou's last act of stubbornness.

After Qin Miao parked the car in the maintenance area, Jay Chou, who was in shock, immediately got out of the car, as if he was trying to escape from Qin Miao's car.

Qin Miao also stopped the car at the prescribed position. After all, F1 driver's time is precious. After pulling Jay Chou, Qin Miao got off work.

After getting off the car, Qin Miao went to Jay Chou to observe his condition: "Are you okay?"

Jay Chou took a few sips of the mineral water handed over by his assistant Dani, then waved to Qin Miao and said, "No...it's okay, it's just a bit too exciting, I'm not used to this feeling."

After calming down for a while, Jay Chou said: "But after experiencing it, I really admire you guys. You can control the car at such a fast speed and even maintain a high level of driving without making mistakes."

Qin Miao smiled and said: "After all, it is a rice bowl. If we don't go beyond the normal level, we won't be able to hold this bowl of rice, right?"

Qin Miao was not an impolite person. Seeing Jay Chou looking a little embarrassed now, he simply stopped disturbing him.

"If it's okay, I still have some work to hand over here. Please wait for me for a while. After I've taken care of the things at hand, I'll take you around the paddock and get to know the drivers from other teams?"

Hearing what Qin Miao said, Dani's eyes suddenly lit up.

Although he also admires Qin Miao's achievements in the F1 arena, she still likes Leclerc more than Qin Miao.

There is no other reason than that Leclerc is the most handsome of all the drivers.

But Jay Chou waved his hand: "No, no, I know you F1 drivers are very busy. After you finish your work, you should leave us alone. I will go and cheer you on during the Saturday and Sunday races."

Seeing this, Qin Miao didn't force it. After exchanging contact information with Jay Chou, he ended his work for the day.

After returning to the hotel, Qin Miao talked about what happened this afternoon while eating the apple Qiu Meng cut for herself.

Qin Miao originally thought that although Qiu Meng would be a little surprised that Jay Chou was still in the Middle East, she would not be too excited. After all, this girl had met Jay Chou last week.

But what Qin Miao didn't expect was that the girl turned to look at Qin Miao, and then scratched her head and screamed: "Ahhhhhhhh~ Why am I not there every time you can see Jay Chou!!" !”

Qin Miao's face was full of confusion: "I remember that you went to see Jay Chou last week?"

Qiu Meng raised her head and looked at Qin Miao pitifully: "I couldn't find it..., I searched the whole game..."

Qin Miao was happy, but looking at Qiu Meng's aggrieved face, she felt a little distressed.

Reaching out and touching Qiu Meng's head, Qin Miao asked in confusion: "Then why didn't you tell me?"

"You are competing..."

Looking at the sensible yet pitiful Qiu Meng, Qin Miao smiled helplessly, then took out his mobile phone and handed it to Qiu Meng and said, "Here, I exchanged phone numbers with Jay Chou before I came back." Looking at Qin Miao Qiu Meng pushed the mobile phone that was handed over to her helplessly: "It's useless to give it to me at this time. I can't call the other party so recklessly if I have the contact information, right? It will definitely cause trouble for the other party. It can even leave a bad first impression.”

Qin Miao also finished eating the apple at this time, got up from the sofa and said: "Then we can only wait for Saturday and Sunday. Jay Chou said that he will appear in the paddock on Saturday and Sunday. I will help you keep an eye on it then. .”

"Uh-huh."

……

Friday is the day when the first and second practices start.

Like last week's Bahrain, this week's Saudi Arabian Grand Prix still had many spectators coming to watch the race during the practice session.

There were more spectators than ever before at this time.

Qin Miao can always see domestic fans supporting him in a corner of the track.

The next process was the same as in previous grands prix, two practice sessions, looking for training data to test the tires, and I was very busy.

The team brought a few upgrades to the car this week, but they were minor.

One is to add an air knife to the left and right sides of the racing cockpit.

The specific function of these two air knives is to break up the airflow above the racing car and guide the airflow to flow more into the radiator opening of the side box.

The other is the redesign of the hood, which can help the air flow through the rear of the car and direct more airflow to the rear wing of the car, increasing the rear downforce of the car.

The last upgrade is an upgrade that is not visible from the outside. It mainly reduces the installation position of the radiator inside the car, which can better help the heat dissipation efficiency when the airflow passes through the radiator.

These three upgrades are very small, but without affecting the tuning window of the car, these upgrades can still bring a certain speed improvement to the car.

The real major upgrade on the Mercedes team's part will have to wait until the Australian Grand Prix half a month later, when the team will have a new rear diffuser.

But no one can guarantee the specific effect of this new rear diffuser.

Talking back to today's two practice sessions, it's still a common problem. Both Qin Miao and Hamilton reported that the bounce of the car has not improved at all.

Qin Miao actually doesn't have any opinions on this bouncing issue. After all, Qin Miao only feels a little pain in his back during the later stages of the main game. If he endures it for a while, the game will be almost over.

However, when Hamilton on the other side reflected this issue, his mood was obviously much "fuller" than Qin Miao's.

The team is also quite helpless. The factory has already started to deal with this problem, but only one week has passed from the time it was discovered to the time it was dealt with. Obviously, one week is not enough for the team to completely solve this problem. And eradicate.

But so far, apart from the slow speed and dolphin jumping when driving at high speed, the car has no unbearable problems. At least in terms of the consistency of the car and the tuning window, this car still allows Qin Miao and Hamilton to satisfied.

Therefore, Qin Miao found his most comfortable training window early in the second practice session on Friday, and spent the rest of the time helping the team run data.

Hamilton is slightly behind Qin Miao in this aspect. On Friday, he was still running data while looking for training.

In fact, this cannot be said to be because Hamilton is not good at it. It is mainly because Hamilton wants to find a setting that is not too slow and has a slightly smaller bounce range for the car.

As for Qin Miao, it didn't matter. He could bear it anyway, relying on his youth and good physical fitness to bear the impact of the dolphin jump with his body.

Although the Jeddah track is winding and twisty, it is a genuine super-high-speed track. Except for the first timing section, there are basically no corners that require braking in the second and third timing sections. Most of the corners are here in the racing cars of the ground effect era, and you can corner very easily if you relax the throttle a little.

This kind of track was extremely comfortable for the Mercedes car last season, but it won't work this season. Even if the Mercedes car's engine still has a horsepower advantage, it has aerodynamic disadvantages and the car's dolphin Jumping simply cannot allow the Mercedes-Benz engine to take advantage of its speed.

Even if the car is fast, it will bounce violently. The faster the car is, the more joyful it will be.

Time soon came to Saturday. During the daytime practice session, Qin Miao steadily and efficiently completed all the tasks assigned to him by the team.

This is also what Mercedes-Benz Racing Team likes about Qin Miao.

Because Qin Miao can complete all his duties without compromise, whether outside the paddock or inside the paddock, and even uses his subjective initiative to help the team develop new racing cars.

The lights were on at the Bahrain track on Saturday night.

Qin Miao appeared at the door of the team's home and accepted a pre-match interview.

After the interview, Qin Miao turned around and saw Barber, but Qiu Meng was missing.

"Where is Qiu Mengren? I remember she was still here when I was interviewed just now."

Barber said: "She said she saw a celebrity she liked very much in the P room of the team and asked for his autograph."

Qin Miao nodded clearly, probably seeing Jay Chou.

Last week, Qiu Meng found Jay Chou in the VIP area above the P room of the team. Although the place was not big, the staff turnover was high. Although it was a bit surprising that Jay Chou was not found, it was not incomprehensible.

However, this time Jay Chou appeared directly in the team's P room. The viewing area there was only that big. After the game started, the VIP spectators in the viewing area were not even allowed to move around at will.

So Qin Miao doesn't think Qiu Meng may miss Jay Chou again this time.

After nodding, Qin Miao took Barber to the P room of the motorcade.

Sure enough, when Qin Miao saw Qiu Meng, he was in the viewing area behind his car, with Jay Chou next to him.

The girl was looking at each other with admiration and joy in her eyes.

Although Qiu Meng's eyes were more tender and loving when she looked at Qin Miao, Qin Miao didn't know why, but she just felt a little sour. When this girl looked at her, she didn't seem to have the emotion of admiration, right?

No matter what, bro, they are all world champions! Isn't this worthy of your admiring look? (End of chapter)
