How did I become an F1 driver?

Even Qin Miao, who was sitting in the racing car at this time, thought so. He felt that the four guys in front would not leave any chance for him to miss.

On lap 6, Hamilton also overtook Bottas in front of him and returned to sixth place when he started.

At the same time, after only one lap, Zhou Guanyu surpassed Yuki Tsunoda in front of him and came to twelfth place. It seems that Arrow's speed on this track is indeed very good.

Zhou Guanyu is very likely to regain points in this game.

Seeing Zhou Guanyu's pursuit speed, Brother Bing directly put his hands on his hands and laughed: "As long as the Arrow Racing Team no longer causes trouble for Zhou Guanyu, then with Zhou Guanyu's current speed, he can finish in the top eight in this race."

It took only 6 laps to catch up from 15th to 12th. This pursuit speed is indeed enough to make the commentators happy.

After all, strictly speaking, there is no DRS in the first three laps after the start of the race. Although it is not impossible to overtake during that period, it is still very difficult to overtake the car in front, so Zhou Guanyu counts it as three laps. Just passed three drivers.

The speed is not bad.

Qin Miao would be at about this level.

It's just that Brother Bing finished speaking less than three minutes ago.

In the driver rankings on the left side of the track, Zhou Guanyu began to decline rapidly from the twelfth position.

In half a lap, he dropped directly from twelfth to last place.

Three commentators from Five Star Sports:...? ? ?

By the time the live broadcast footage was shown to Zhou Guanyu, Zhou Guanyu had already returned to the door of the P room in the pit area. The staff of the Arrow Racing Team lifted Zhou Guanyu's bike up and then pushed it back to the pit area.

It is obvious that Zhou Guanyu is going to retire from this game.

Speaking of which, Zhou Guanyu seems to be really unlucky.

After a good flying lap in the Q1 qualifying session, we encountered a traffic jam at the third to last corner.

When the momentum in the race was good, the car broke down.

Even Qin Miao was a little shocked when he found out that Zhou Guanyu had retired from the race in the team TR.

"Is this guy... so unlucky?"

On the 9th lap of the start straight, Verstappen overtook Leclerc.

And quickly threw Leclerc out of the DRS zone.

It's hard to imagine that on this track, the Red Bull car's tail speed is actually faster than Ferrari's.

The Ferrari is faster in the corners.

The design ideas of these two teams have been completely reversed.

On Qin Miao's side, after he reached fifth place, he was gradually opened up by more than 7 seconds by Perez.

Hamilton behind him has been cruising 2 seconds behind Qin Miao.

Although Hamilton has the speed to catch up with Qin Miao and launch an attack, Hamilton does not want to attack Qin Miao at this time.

The main reason is because he knows that even if he does this, the possibility of surpassing Qin Miao is not very high, and the final result may be a lose-lose result.

Because Qin Miao was able to defend Perez for so long even when there was a performance gap in his car. Now there is basically no gap in the performance of the two people's cars. It is very likely that his attack on Qin Miao will be in vain, and it may even be possible. Threatened by Bottas behind him.

So Hamilton finally chose a way that made him more comfortable, just running normally behind Qin Miao.

On the other side, Leclerc made another mistake.

At the T12 position on lap 17, Leclerc, who had been chasing Verstappen 1.6 seconds behind him, made a mistake and missed the braking point.

So when he returned to the track, the time gap between him and Verstappen in front was 2.6 seconds.

A small mistake will result in a loss of 1 second.

Speaking of which, although Leclerc can be regarded as one of the talented drivers, compared with his good friend Qin Miao, Leclerc's stability is obviously much worse.

Some unforced errors often occur, especially when chasing the driver in front. This has happened twice this season alone, and both occurred when chasing Verstappen.

But on the contrary, Leclerc rarely made mistakes and was very stable when defending the driver behind him.

It can only be said that Leclerc's character is still a little impatient.

After the game progressed to this point, the two Mercedes drivers Qin Miao and Hamilton did not get much broadcast footage. The two world champions began their cruise on the track.

On lap 22, Qin Miao began to chase Perez in front of him at a speed of 0.3 seconds per lap.

It was obvious that the tires of the drivers in the leading group at the front had begun to wear out rapidly at this time, and Qin Miao used his tire protection ability to keep his tires in a good condition.

But most people noticed this change, and everyone thought it was nothing. The time advantage accumulated by Perez and the others in the early stage was too great, and after Perez and the others opened their pit stop window on the 26th lap, Qin Miao The tire advantage will be wiped out immediately.

What made Qin Miao feel most uncomfortable was that Ferrari called Leclerc to pit on lap 25 and put on hard tires.

After coming out, Leclerc happened to be stuck 3.4 seconds in front of Qin Miao.

Qin Miao doesn't like Leclerc at this time. What stands out is that he takes advantage of the fact that your Leclerc's tire temperature is not up yet.

But it turns out that Ferrari's car this season is really strong.

Although Qin Miao suddenly accelerated, catching up to the position 1.3 seconds behind Leclerc was the limit of what Qin Miao could do. Next, Qin Miao could only watch as Leclerc, whose tire temperature had already risen, gradually moved away from him. .

But I can't do anything...

Of course, Qin Miao's pit stop was later than everyone imagined.

By the 28th lap, the speed of Qin Miao's set of medium tires was still within the standard speed. Qin Miao's speed was even 0.2 seconds faster than Perez, who had already pitted and changed tires before him. .

But Red Bull is not in a hurry at this time. You, Qin Miao, have to make a pit stop anyway.

Just chase him. Even if you overtake Perez, you will fall behind after pitting.

However, by the 35th lap, Qin Miao's speed still dropped slightly. The original pursuit speed of 0.2 seconds per lap dropped to 0.1 seconds per lap.

But this speed of pursuit still surprised many people.

After all, Qin Miao's set of tires has been run for 35 laps now.

Horner and Marco were filled with questions when they saw this.

What the hell did you do, Pirelli? Did you put Michelin in Qin Miao's tires?

How can you still run?

And by the 35th lap, after Qin Miao came out of the pit area, the original 2-second time gap between Qin Miao and Perez had now become 1.1 seconds, and it didn't take long to enter the DRS area behind Perez.

Of course, Red Bull is still very calm at this time. After all, according to the rules of F1, you Qin Miao always have to pit once. No matter how good your tire protection ability is, the time between you and Perez after pitting The gap will be widened again.

Even on the side of the Qin Miao Racing Team, Franky asked with some concern: "Qin Miao, how is the condition of the tires now? Do you need to stop and change the tires?"

After hearing Franky's words, Qin Miao withdrew from the cruising state where people and cars were integrated.

In fact, what the team staff didn't know was that Qin Miao had just entered a state where people and cars became one.

After all, it was a cruise, and there was no pressure on Qin Miao, so he started to lose focus and rely on his own instinct to run the game.

After hearing Franky's words, Qin Miao came back to his senses from this state.

Then Qin Miao suddenly discovered that Perez had appeared in front of him at some point.

"Huh? Oh, the tires are in good condition. How is my lap time now?"

Frankie looked at Qin Miao and his lap speed was only 0.4 seconds slower at the beginning of the race: "Not bad, 0.2 seconds per lap faster than when you stop to change to hard tires."

After hearing Franky's words, Qin Miao suddenly asked in a nonchalant manner: "How many laps can I run on the soft tire with full power?"

"Ten laps."

"Then let's pit when there are ten laps left in the race."

"Huh?...Okay."

This TR was a bit too long. Although the broadcaster responsible for broadcasting this game wanted to release this TR, in the end they did not do so.

But the people in charge of the broadcast were all stunned and surprised after hearing Qin Miao's words.

However, the situation soon took a turn for the better. On the 36th lap, Qin Miao received another message: "It may rain in 8 minutes."

Qin Miao was stunned: "Then do I need to speed up a little?"

"No, let's keep things as they are, we now have a chance to overtake Perez in front and I think we can wait a little bit for the safety car."

"Ok."

Although Qin Miao doesn't think it's possible for a safety car or a virtual safety car to appear on the track with the current track condition, Qin Miao has nothing else to do anyway at this moment, right?

Although he has caught up to the DRS area behind Perez, the straight tail speed of Qin Miao's car really cannot catch up with the Red Bull. The main reason to catch up with Perez now depends on the speed in the corners.

Therefore, after Qin Miao was sure that he could not pose any threat to Perez, he gradually began to enter the state of man-car integration again.

The senior management of Red Bull couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief after seeing this scene.

However, this time the broadcaster did not miss this opportunity and released the first conversation between Qin Miao and Franky. After Brother Ran translated, the two elderly people, Brother Bing and Brother Fei, had question marks on their foreheads: "Ah? After Qin Miao has been running for so long, do the tires still have grip?"

However, Qin Miaoyu didn't wait, nor did he wait for the car's pit window, but he waited for the yellow flag on the track.

On lap 41, a collision occurred on the track.

Gasly's car, which had just collided with Alonso while defending, was damaged and suffered a serious loss of speed. It was probably due to a loose tire.

When Gasly was overtaken by Norris behind him, an unintentional collision occurred between the two. Norris's right rear wheel directly hit Gasly's left front wheel, so that Norris The right rear wheel of the car was hit and punctured on the spot, and the tire skin flew out, leaving only a wheel rim, which was left bare on the car.

After all, one tire was missing, and the car couldn't continue driving. But the good news was that Norris's car happened to be parked in front of Matthew's entrance, and it seemed that it would be easy to handle.

At the same time, the safety car was dispatched immediately, and Qin Miao got a huge advantage.

However, the Red Bull Racing Team also saw the threat that Qin Miao would bring when the safety car pitted this time, so when Qin Miao was called to pit by the team, Perez was also called to pit.

At this time, Red Bull was still feeling a little relieved that their strategy had contained Qin Miao's attack, when they suddenly discovered something was wrong.

What is Qin Miao's most conspicuous feature on the court?

The ability to protect the fetus!

So now, how many laps are left until the end of the race?

15 laps, and this number of laps...

It is known that Qin Miao started the race with medium tires, and there are still 15 laps to go before the end of the race. So the question is: Will Qin Miao use soft tires or hard tires for this pit stop?

This is completely a scoring question. Qin Miao will definitely switch to soft tires, because using hard tires at this time is not only not fast, but also wasteful.

And with Qin Miao's ability to protect tires, the soft tires were enough for him to finish the next 15 laps.

And this is indeed the case. After Qin Miao entered the maintenance area, the Mercedes team put Qin Miao on a set of soft tires.

And because Qin Miao's speed remained the same after other drivers' tires failed, a time gap of more than 11 seconds opened up between him and Hamilton.

And because of the safety car, after Qin Miao came out of the pit area, he was still in front of Hamilton.

After Perez came out of the pit area, because the Red Bull Racing team changed tires one second faster than Mercedes, Perez ranked 2 seconds ahead of Qin Miao.

I don’t know what happened to the staff of the Mercedes team this season. The tire changing speed is much slower than last season. The average tire changing time has soared from 2.7 seconds to 3.2 seconds.

The Mercedes team, which couldn't find the reason, could only attribute the problem to the increased size of the tires.

Perez put on a set of medium tires, and they were also a used set of medium tires.

Although Perez has the title of tire protection master, this set of medium tires was used during the practice session. At that time, Perez never thought of saving this set of tires.

So at this time, looking at Qin Miao appearing behind him through the rearview mirror of the car, Perez was literally sweating.

After all, Qin Miao is now using a brand new set of soft tires.

At the same time, there is good news for Qin Miao. Ferrari did not call the two drivers of its team back to the pit area.

In other words, if the car formation is compressed and Qin Miao really easily surpasses Perez in front of him, he still has a high possibility of reaching a podium position in this game.

After seeing the current state of the field, several commentators from Five-Star Sports were even more excited: "Qin Miao! Qin Miao's opportunity has come!"

"I originally thought that this was the end of Qin Miao's game, but I didn't expect that God would give him a chance. I hope Qin Miao can seize this opportunity."

It is worth mentioning that there was more debris on the track than expected. After all, Norris's car slid far away after the collision.

The Miami Grand Prix track is similar to a street race track. There are not many entrances to Matthew, and they are surrounded by protective walls, so cleaning it is troublesome and a waste of time.

Therefore, the safety car was brought from lap 41 to lap 47.

Qin Miao was happy when she saw this number.

I remember the team told themselves that the current set of tires on the car is enough for them to push for about 10 laps.

And now? There were just 10 laps left before the end of the race, and now my tires no longer needed to be warmed. After 6 laps, the tires had already reached the appropriate operating temperature.

At the same time, Qin Miao did not hesitate to throw his skills on Perez's head in front.

Looking closely, Perez's pressure value has reached 60% at this time.

It is not difficult to judge from this point that Perez is indeed a little nervous.

Can you not be nervous? Behind him is a talented driver with top-notch offensive and defensive abilities.

At this moment, Perez even recalled the scene when he was forcibly defended by Qin Miao for 15 laps.

So Perez knew that he could not let Qin Miao surpass him in this game no matter what.

Because he knew that after being surpassed by Qin Miao, he probably wouldn't be able to surpass him in this game.

This is why Perez's pressure level is so high at this moment.

"Let's see what you're capable of."

In the final warm-up period before the restart of the race, Toto, who usually does not communicate much with the drivers during the race, rarely said this to Qin Miao in the team TR.

Coincidentally, everyone at the Mercedes-Benz Racing Team is looking forward to Qin Miao's amazing performance on the track.

"Then just watch carefully and don't blink." Qin Miao said confidently with a smile.

And this section of the team TR was also released.

"Here comes Qin Miao's performance moment. Although there is an absolute gap in racing performance between Qin Miao and Perez, we all believe in Qin Miao. After all, he is the only F1 world champion in China. Now, it depends on Qin Miao Can you give us a wonderful race on the track?”

Soon, the car formation arrived at T17.

Verstappen, who had been in the lead after passing Leclerc, accelerated sharply.

When Verstappen accelerated out, Qin Miao and Perez had just reached the apex of T17.

Then, just when Qin Miao was about to increase the intensity of Perez to increase his pressure value, the rear wheel of Perez in front of him spun very briefly when he was accelerating out of the corner.

After the rear wheel of the car spun briefly, the pressure on Perez's car that was originally [60%] instantly reached [70%].

Qin Miao also reacted immediately. Perez made a mistake when exiting the corner. He applied too much gas and the rear wheel slipped!

After a brief moment of surprise, Qin Miao was suddenly pleasantly surprised.

After Qin Miao threw his skills on Perez's head, Qin Miao knew that Perez would definitely make some forced errors on the track, but he didn't expect Perez's mistakes to come so early. .

The game had just restarted when he made a mistake.

Therefore, Qin Miao was closely behind the butt of Perez's car in the T18 and T19 corners.

After coming out of the corner and coming to the start straight, Qin Miao couldn't wait to step on the accelerator pedal into the rear diffuser of Perez's car, and the ERS of the car was released at full strength.

At the same time, Perez's pressure level soared even more. After leaving T19 and arriving on the straightaway, Perez's pressure level had reached [74%]

Although the starting straight is not long, Qin Miao still took advantage of the cornering speed of his tires and the wake absorbed by half of the starting straight to insert Perez's inside line in advance.

Looking at the Mercedes appearing in the right rearview mirror of his car, Perez's originally extremely nervous heart even relaxed for a moment.

But it was only for a moment. After that, Perez still felt more powerless and exhausted in his heart.

So far, I have been driving cars in the F1 arena for 11 years. Although I am not the top driver and my talent is not the best, I can still be regarded as one of the evergreen trees in the F1 paddock.

But looking at his teammate Verstappen, Mercedes' Qin Miao, and Ferrari's Leclerc.

At this moment, Perez realized deeply that the talent gap between people is sometimes greater than that between humans and dogs.

Qin Miao has already grabbed Perez's inside line. At this time, although Perez tried to squeeze Qin Miao towards the dirty side of the track, Qin Miao is not competing for the championship this season. He is the bright one now. feet.

Although Perez was also squeezed inside, Qin Miao was only squeezed to the edge of the track on the right side. After arriving here, Qin Miao refused to give in.

Then T1 braked late on the inside line, and Qin Miao skillfully and accurately blocked Perez's best exit route.

And after exiting T1, Qin Miao completed his overtaking of Perez amidst the overwhelming cheers of the audience.

"Nice!" In the P room of the Mercedes-Benz team, there were also cheers at this time.

After the Mercedes car lost its competitiveness, Toto, who had rarely had broadcast footage, now had a rare broadcast footage. At this time, Toto held his right fist hard and shouted "Nice".

When the camera is zoomed to a wide angle, you can see that all the staff in the team are cheering and celebrating Qin Miao's overtaking.

But the broadcasters of the United States Grand Prix will cause trouble.

After receiving the reactions of everyone in the P room of the Mercedes Racing Team, the camera turned and it was directly on the face of Horner sitting on the podium of the Red Bull Racing Team.

At this time, there was not much anger on Horner's face, but more of calm.

However, through this lens, it can be seen that Marco, who is sitting next to Horner and wearing a white shirt, has white hair that is constantly shaking. It is obvious that Marco is somewhat dissatisfied with Perez's mistake.

……

"Qin Miao! He did it! He caught Perez's rare mistake!" On the Five-Star Sports side, there was a delay of about 5 minutes with the scene, so it took 5 minutes for the three commentators to start the incident. See what's going on on the field.

However, this did not prevent them from jumping up from their positions with excitement after seeing Qin Miao surpass Perez.

They couldn't remember how many times they had watched Qin Miao compete and stood up from their seats with excitement, but it would definitely not be the last time. (End of chapter)
