How did I become an F1 driver?

In the final stage of this game, apart from Qin Miao, the most surprising person was Albon.

Driving a Williams, Albon was able to score points.

It seems that after entering the ground effect era, the speed gap between teams has been significantly reduced.

The FIA's rule changes are indeed effective.

In terms of the overall driver standings, Qin Miao's position was knocked down by Verstappen and fell to third.

However, Qin Miao also knew that this would happen sooner or later, so after seeing his ranking drop, his performance was relatively calm.

There is ongoing turmoil within the team, and Qin Miao has no way of determining whether it is possible to salvage the car this season.

But Qin Miao knows that this season he may not be able to reach the highest podium, and can only go in and out of the podium.

So now Qin Miao is watching the championship battle between Leclerc and Verstappen with a lively attitude.

This feeling is quite strange. It is a new version of the ship that Qin Miao has never experienced before.

In terms of the overall team standings, because of Albon's performance, after the fifth race of this season started, all teams had their own points recorded, more or less.

After the Miami Grand Prix, two weeks later it will be the Spanish Grand Prix, home of Alonso and Sainz.

Therefore, Qin Miao and the team were not pressed for time, but Qin Miao did not take on as much social work as Hamilton did after the race.

After Qin Miao's game ended, he used this rare free time to take Qiu Meng to play in Miami for two days.

This shows that Qin Miao is at least a person who does what he says. He said what he said during the interview and did it the next day.

However, Qin Miao was fully armed throughout the process. After all, the Miami Grand Prix had just ended, and Qin Miao was the most popular driver in the Miami Grand Prix audience vote, so Qin Miao was not yet in the minds of the local people at this time. Desensitization, so Qin Miao would be easily recognized if she walked on the road like this.

Americans are not as restrained as those European gentlemen. It is estimated that after Qin Miao is recognized, the streets will soon be blocked.

Although it was uncomfortable and troublesome to wear a camouflage on his face all year round, Qin Miao also had a lot of fun during the past two days.

On the morning of the third day, Qin Miao called Zhou Guanyu:
"crooked?"

"Ok?"

"where?"

"Miami."

"Return?"

"Now?"

"night."

"address."

"I'll send it to you later."

"Bye."

Qin Miao put away her phone.

Qiu Meng, who was reading a book at the side, withdrew her attention from the book when she heard Qin Miao hung up the phone. She looked at Qin Miao and asked curiously: "Zhou Guanyu? When did your phone calls become encrypted?" Are you on the phone?"

Qin Miao thought for a while: "Actually, I wanted to talk nicely, but that guy Zhou Guanyu didn't want to say a word more when he answered me, so I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with him."

After Qiu Meng heard Qin Miao's words, she shook her head helplessly: "Man, you are so childish, you have to compare yourself to this."

With that said, Qin Miao also sent the address of his hotel to Zhou Guanyu, and was already thinking about how he should laugh at Zhou Guanyu when he arrived.

Yes, even though Zhou Guanyu encountered a traffic jam in qualifying last week and it seemed extremely miserable when he encountered a mechanical failure in the race, Qin Miao was still prepared to wait for Zhou Guanyu to come and take advantage of his pain points to make himself happy.

After all, that's what friends are, isn't it?
In the afternoon, Zhou Guanyu called Qin Miao.

Qin Miao didn't go down to pick him up. She sent him the door number of her room and asked him to come up by himself.

Soon, Zhou Guanyu arrived at the hotel room Qin Miao had booked.

After seeing Zhou Guanyu, Qiu Meng said hello to Zhou Guanyu, and then took her book back to the room.

Qiu Meng did this not to avoid suspicion or to disturb the two of them from talking about work.

Mainly because Qiu Meng is too familiar with these two people. It's still about six hours before Qin Miao's plane takes off. After chatting for a while, the two will definitely start playing games. By then, the room will be very noisy and there will be no noise at all. Find a way to calm down and read a book.

So it's better to stay away from these two people now.

"Okay, he seems to be in good spirits." Looking at Zhou Guanyu walking in, Qin Miao threw a bottle of mineral water to him.

"Don't mention it, this Grand Prix weekend is really bad. There are a lot of social activities after the game." After Zhou Guanyu took it, he lay down directly on the sofa.

"Ha." Thinking of Zhou Guanyu's experience, Qin Miao couldn't help laughing.

Qin Miao knew that it was wrong to do this, but for some reason, Qin Miao couldn't help but want to gloat after thinking about Zhou Guanyu, and she didn't feel any guilt at all.

Zhou Guanyu rolled his eyes angrily, wanting to smash the bottle of water in his hand at Qin Miao's face.

"By the way, what happened to your car? I saw the live broadcast during the race. The speed of your car was always very good at the beginning, and it didn't look like there was a problem."

"What else can happen? Ferrari's broken engine problem, the engine coolant is leaking.

At first, the team wanted to see if it could be repaired remotely, so even though I knew there was something wrong with the engine, I still continued to run on the track.

However, as the team raced, they discovered that the coolant was leaking more and more, and the engine temperature increased significantly. They had no choice but to retire from the race. "

Hearing this, Qin Miao also sighed helplessly. There is really nothing that can be done, because if the coolant leaks too much, the car's engine will not be able to dissipate heat. At that time, the engine behind the driver will become a constantly heating and there is no way to do it. It's a time bomb that dissipates heat. It might explode at some point.

In severe cases, it may even directly ignite the fuel inside the engine, causing direct spontaneous combustion.

"Ferrari's engines this season are all replaced with service life." Zhou Guanyu complained: "The speed is fast, but the stability is also at a new level."

Qin Miao pulled away Zhou Guanyu's legs on the sofa, and after sitting down, he said helplessly: "Mercedes has gone the other way this season. The engine is very stable. It has run 5 grands prix now. The horsepower of my engine is It has only lost about 5 horses, and I estimate that it can run at least three more grands prix before the engine needs to be changed."

Zhou Guanyu immediately cast an envious look: "So good?"

"What a bastard! Why can't the engine speed up?"

"Hey~"

After taking a sip of water, Zhou Guanyu suddenly chatted about another topic: "Have you heard? Geely has made another move." "Huh?" Qin Miao was a little surprised, because since he met Mr. Wang last time, Qin Miao didn't pay much attention to Geely's affairs afterwards: "What action?"

"I'm not sure. I heard from my agent that Geely has started the second round of negotiations with the Aston Martin board of directors and is preparing to increase its shareholding from 17% to 37%." Zhou Guanyu said with interest. Said enthusiastically.

"And it shouldn't be. Doesn't Geely have shares in Mercedes-Benz? You should be able to receive the news."

"How did I know?" Qin Miao Xiaoxiong spread his hands.

But after a pause, Qin Miao suddenly said: "Just in time, I have Mr. Wang's phone number. Why don't you call him and ask him?"

"No, it's past three o'clock in the morning in China at this time. It seems a bit disrespectful for you to call someone at this time." Zhou Guanyu stopped him quickly.

Although Zhou Guanyu is not planning to change teams at present, and the speed of the Arrow Racing Team is also good, at the same time, apart from his bad luck, Zhou Guanyu's own strength is still good, at least it is more than enough to match the Arrow Racing Team.

Strictly speaking, Zhou Guanyu's current strength can occupy a place among the drivers in the mid-range group.

Therefore, Zhou Guanyu does not have to worry about his seat. Even if Arrow does not want him, he does not have to worry about losing his seat as an F1 driver.

However, Zhou Guanyu is also happy to see Geely preparing to enter. After all, if Geely does enter, Martin will become a Chinese team.

Although Martin may change to another name by then, such as Lotus or just call it Geely F1 Team.

Geely's entry is good news for him and Qin Miao, because even if most of the teams in the paddock no longer need him due to various reasons, he will have a way out.

"But I remember you said that there are no rumors in the paddock. If this news can be spread from a professional like him, then it is 80% true." Zhou Guanyu said: "If it is true, what do you say? I remember your contract with Mercedes-Benz expires at the end of next year, right? Has it been renewed?"

Qin Miao shook his head: "Not yet, and it's meaningless to say this at this time. The most important thing is that my contract hasn't expired yet."

"I don't believe you haven't thought about this. Tell me, tell me everything." Zhou Guanyu crossed his arms and looked at Qin Miao.

Qin Miao thought for a while, but in the end he did not choose to hide it, and said truthfully: "If Geely really comes in, I probably won't consider them in the first few years before Geely Racing loses its competitiveness. After all, you know, with My strength is enough to compete for the world championship. There is no need and I cannot waste time on a new team.

Although it is quite interesting to be like Norris as a team grows, but I still want to win a few more world championships while I am young and motivated, and when I get older, I will be full of honors. It would be no problem to go to Geely and help them develop racing cars and train young drivers. "

"You mean you also want to drive in Geely?"

"After all, it's safe to stay in your own team, right?" At this point, Qin Miao changed his tone: "But I think you can wait for Geely to enter and join them directly. After all, you are not strong enough now. It’s considered to be a mid-range level, and it’s quite competitive, but it’s just a bit unlucky.”

At this point, Zhou Guanyu pointed his finger at Qin Miao and said, "I advise you to be careful in your words and deeds."

Qin Miao spread his hands indifferently and continued: "When the time comes, Geely will be equipped with an experienced driver, just like Arrow's Bottas and you now, with a high and low mix, and spend a few seasons upgrading the foundation of the team's factory. Facilities, recruiting more people, and an opportunity to accumulate experience may not necessarily eliminate the possibility of competing for the world championship.”

"Then you come to pick peaches again?" Zhou Guanyu said quietly.

Qin Miao rolled his eyes: "There's no chance that my brother is here to help the team!? Do you know what a championship puzzle is?"

Zhou Guanyu clicked his tongue: "Bad luck."

Qin Miao:? ? ?
"You boy!"

……

After chatting for a while, just as Qiu Meng guessed, he started playing PS5.

Two hours after the bloody battle between Qin Miao and Zhou Guanyu, the time came to 5 pm, and Qin Miao's cell phone suddenly rang.

And because Qin Miao's attention was distracted by her mobile phone, Qin Miao's Chunli was directly taken away by Zhou Guanyu's Ken combo.

"Damn it, you are so unlucky."

Qin Miao cursed, ignoring the proud Zhou Guanyu, and answered the phone emotionally.

Soon, Leclerc's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Qin Miao, have you left Miami?"

Qin Miao didn't even think about it: "I'm in England now."

After hearing Qin Miao's words, Leclerc was stunned, then turned to look at the Mercedes-Benz Maybach prepared for Qin Miao in the parking lot that Qin Miao drove during the Grand Prix weekend, and the corner of his mouth twitched.

"Stop talking nonsense, I saw your car in the parking lot, and you didn't leave at all."

Qin Miao said helplessly, "I'm not in the hotel."

"I just called Qiu Meng."

Qin Miao:......

"Your uncle's..."

After Qin Miao finished scolding, he reluctantly put Leclerc up.

After Zhou Guanyu happily opened the door for Leclerc, Leclerc began to shout: "Qin Miao, I brought you some good things, do you want to come and take a look."

Qin Miao stood up helplessly. Before Leclerc could open the bag he was carrying and show it to Qin Miao, Qin Miao grabbed the bag and went to the kitchen.

Now Qin Miao really regrets it.

Why can't I think of cooking for them during the Chinese New Year?

Now it's okay, these bastards will come over to eat for you whenever they get a chance.

After using the excuse that there was no food at home, these people came to the house and brought their own food.

Just act like their nanny.

Don’t you want the face of my world champion?

Of course, even though she was scolding her in her heart, Qin Miao was still deft in washing and picking vegetables.

A table of dinner was ready in less than an hour.

But Leclerc and the others came here to eat, and Qin Miao didn't take care of their tastes. He only cooked what Qiu Meng likes to eat, so there was more pepper.

Zhou Guanyu didn't care, he could eat spicy food quite well, but Leclerc could only drool and be afraid when he looked at the dishes on the table.

Qin Miao's food is delicious, but sometimes he doesn't know how to take care of his guests, and he doesn't know how to treat guests at all!

Instead, Qiu Meng touched her face worriedly after seeing the dishes on the table. She had been a little angry recently and had several pimples on her face.
