How did I become an F1 driver?

Immediately afterwards there was a burst of ecstasy, because now is the starting stage, and basically all the cars are crowded together. If Qin Miao rushes out at this time, there is a high possibility that Qin Miao will fall to the back.

By then, no matter how terrifying Qin Miao's ability to protect the fetus is, Qin Miao will not be able to put any pressure on himself in this match.

But just when Sainz was overjoyed and constantly dreaming about the wonderful track conditions he was about to face next, a scene that shocked him appeared.

Qin Miao, who braked late on the inside line, actually successfully stopped his car. The car did not lose any control, and the tires did not even lock up.

Then Qin Miao entered the corner in front of his car, and after exiting the corner, he was squeezed out of the track.

Although Sainz is surprised by Qin Miao's unscientific braking, the key is that Sainz has not heard that Mercedes has recently upgraded the brakes of the car.

The most important thing is that Qin Miao's braking position is still on the inside line of Sainz, which is not the driving lane. The grip and cleanliness of the track are not as good as Sainz's outside line, and the angle at which Qin Miao brakes is also not very good. right.

Even if you are using soft tires, it is impossible to apply such an outrageous brake.

In short, no matter Sainz wanted to break his head, Qin Miao's braking position could not successfully stop his Mercedes.

But Qin Miao did the unthinkable thing.

Of course, even though Qin Miao squeezed him into the escape tunnel on the outside of the track, Sainz did not let go of the accelerator.

The straight-line acceleration of the Ferrari car this season is the fastest in the paddock. Therefore, although Sainz returned to the track again, he was already half a car behind Qin Miao, but at least at this time he and Qin Miao Still in a side-by-side state.

It is still possible for him to get his position back before T1.

Then a Mercedes and a Ferrari rushed side by side towards T3 amidst the orange smoke set off by the Austrian audience at the scene.

It's just that Sainz underestimated the upgrades brought by Mercedes in the British Grand Prix and the set of soft tires on Qin Miao's car. After optimizing the air intake structure of the floor and the airflow management inside the floor, the W13 as a whole at this time was The resistance generated by the bottom plate is much smaller.

Although it was a left turn in T3, Qin Miao's position that was slightly beyond Sainz became side by side with Sainz, and even Sainz's late acceleration ability became faster and faster.

But at least before the braking point of T3, Sainz still did not completely surpass Qin Miao. Qin Miao was still side by side with Sainz on the outside.

In fact, after arriving here, Sainz had an extremely ominous premonition.

And soon, Sainz's premonition came true.

Qin Miao braked late again with an inside kick. Sainz even applied the brake after he had reached his limit braking point, but Qin Miao's braking position was still in front of Sainz.

Sainz didn't understand. Although the two corners T1 and T2 could provide a little warmth for the tires, the distance could not be improved much. How on earth did Qin Miao, the B-man, manage to push the tires at such an extreme distance? Did you brake your car?
Why!

In fact, Qin Miao really relied on his own actions to stop the situation.

It's just that Qin Miao's operation is quite extreme. After all, the two corners T1 and T3 are heavy braking areas.

Qin Miao adjusted his braking weight to the front wheels.

Someone is going to say that braking like this is very likely to cause the front wheel of the car to lock up.

Therefore, Qin Miao dynamically adjusts the brake weight ratio to the rear wheels during the braking process.

In other words, the front wheel is only responsible for the most important section of braking. During this process, the heat radiation of the brake disc can also heat up the tires.

Moreover, Qin Miao adjusted the brake weight backwards at the moment before the tire was about to lock, so the front wheels were efficiently involved in braking the tires during the entire process.

At the same time, the rear wheels of Qin Miao's racing car have been providing braking force to the racing car.

Minimizes the braking distance of the car.

Of course, the most critical reason is that Qin Miao uses soft tires. The braking distance of soft tires is definitely shorter than that of medium tires.

At the same time, after the car reaches the apex of the bend, Qin Miao's front wheels no longer have such strong braking force and can enter the bend more easily.

This operation is also known to some riders.

It can even be said that this operation is the best operation method during the cornering stage.

The only drawback is the complexity, because F1 cars do not have electronic control systems, so during this process, the changes in the car's weight must be manually controlled throughout the process.

You need to use your hands to turn the brake specific gravity knob on the steering wheel.

You know, when braking, the instantaneous pressure on the driver's neck may reach 4G.

During this process, not only do you need to keep your mind clear, but your hands also need to perform such delicate operations, so the error rate for this type of operation is terrifyingly high.

Therefore, this method of cornering is not very popular, and even if you know it, you will not do it.

Because it is too difficult, and even if you successfully enter the corner using this method, the speed increase brought by a corner may only be 0.1-0.2 seconds.

But if you make a mistake during this process, the consequences will be to run off the track or the tires to lock up.

This kind of loss may be more than 1 second per mistake.

Therefore, this kind of operation is very cost-effective. Even someone as physically strong as Qin Miao only dares to do this in the five or six laps before the start of the game when he is very physically fit.

In the middle and late stages of the game, after Qin Miao's physical strength began to decline, Qin Miao would also play normally and honestly.

But in any case, due to Sainz's confusion, the two cars running side by side from T1 to T3 finally decided the winner.

While Sainz was puzzling, he was pushed off the track by Qin Miao in T3.

The road shoulder of T3 is much higher than that of T1.

Because of this, when Sainz rushed out of the track again, the wooden board of the floor and the yellow shoulder of the track were severely slashed, bringing up a cluster of sparks.

Sainz is not worried about damage to the floor of the car.

After entering the era of ground effects, the racing floors of all teams are much higher than they look.

Therefore, even if it hits a high road shoulder, the damage may only be to the wooden board under the floor of the car, and the floor will not be damaged.

Of course, the manhole covers that were sucked up due to the strong suction force of the racing floor are not included.

However, unlike T1, there is no escape route on the outside of T3.

When Sainz returned to the track, he did not have enough room to accelerate because the junction between the paint on the outside of T3 and the track was grass.

So when Sainz returned to the track, he fell behind Qin Miao.

"Qin Miao was very serious about Sainz's defense this time!" Five-Star Sports completed the overtake of Sainz and successfully stabilized his third position. After the second lap, Five-Star Sports The three commentators beside him breathed a sigh of relief.

"Indeed, Qin Miao's start was as good as ever today. In fact, I saw his start in sprint qualifying yesterday and his performance during the entire game was not outstanding. At that time, I thought Qin Miao was being beaten off the field because he was at Red Bull's home court. Factors affect one's mentality.

Looking back now, I was a little unfounded at the time. I have been in the paddock for so long, and I have never seen Qin Miao's condition affected by off-field factors.

Qin Miao might just be worried about something unexpected happening during the sprint qualifying stage, so he ran relatively steadily. Brother Xia said.

Brother Fei was unable to come to today's game because of something else, so Brother Xi was asked to take over. The other two commentators remained the same.

"However, Qin Miao's defense against Sainz was very risky these two times, and he squeezed Sainz out both times." Zhou Haoran said.

"How do you call this a risk?" Brother Bing explained: "Qin Miao had the right to the track line twice when he entered the corner. Sainz being squeezed out can only be said to be Sainz's own problem."

Zhou Haoran nodded: "According to the FIA ​​track rules, this is indeed the case. What I am talking about is that when Qin Miao and Sainz were fighting, the two were too close.

I noticed that Qin Miao squeezed Sainz off the track twice. The wheels of the two were very close to each other at the time. In this case, a small operating error may cause a serious accident on the track. "

……

This is the end of the commentators' talk about Qin Miao's overtaking.

On the field, after overtaking Sainz, Qin Miao quickly used his soft tire advantage to widen the time gap with Sainz.

Moreover, Qin Miao's momentum remained unabated after surpassing Sainz, and he actually began to shorten the time gap between himself and Leclerc ahead.

Although Sainz wanted to regain his position at this time, he was really powerless, and Perez behind him also began to have thoughts about Sainz.

The time gap between the two is 0.4 seconds. If you enter the DRS zone with this gap, it will not be too difficult for Perez to attack Sainz and surpass him in one fell swoop.

On the fourth lap, after DRS was turned on, Qin Miao finally caught up with Leclerc.

However, because Leclerc was not too slow in today's race, he just barely followed Leclerc into the DRS area behind him at this time.

Although Qin Miao reached this position easily, Leclerc in front of him had the help of Verstappen's DRS. Even if Qin Miao was using soft tires, it would be very difficult to overtake.

The most important thing is that Qin Miao uses soft tires. Although the durability of Qin Miao's soft tires can be compared to other drivers' medium tires, it is under light oil conditions.

The race has just started now, and the fuel tank of the car is almost full, so the durability of Qin Miao's set of soft tires will not last long.

According to estimates from the team's strategy team, Qin Miao's set of soft tires can only last about 12 laps on the track.

After 12 laps, Qin Miao's soft tire will also pass the cliff point and his speed will drop significantly.

So Qin Miao doesn't have enough time now.

So Qin Miao didn't care about his private friendship with Leclerc or anything else, and threw his skill directly at Leclerc's head.

While following closely behind Leclerc, he put pressure on Leclerc at all possible overtaking positions.

Leclerc knows Qin Miao quite well, but he also knows that after coming to the track, Qin Miao will not talk to you about personal friendship, whether the relationship is good or bad.

So now his stress level is also high. A full 29%.

You must know that now is the beginning of the game.

But just when Qin Miao was about to increase his efforts, Franky's routine report came over. : "Qin Miao, you are now in third place, 0.7 seconds behind Leclerc in front, 1.9 seconds behind Verstappen, and 2.1 seconds behind Sainz. You are running well, keep up the pace."

Sainz and Qin Miao didn't pay much attention to him behind him. It was an indisputable fact that his opponent's lap time was not on soft tires.

But Qin Miao's attention was attracted by Verstappen's position.

Doing the math, Leclerc is now 1.2 seconds behind Verstappen and has already left Verstappen's DRS zone.

But before that, Leclerc had been in the DRS zone behind Verstappen.

Qin Miao is preparing to see if he can win the championship in this game.

But after surpassing Leclerc, Qin Miao's skills will enter CD state.

At that time, the only way I can attack Verstappen is to use the speed of the car to overtake Verstappen from behind.

But this season the performance of Mercedes cars is obviously not as good as Ferrari and Red Bull.

The reason why Qin Miao can appear here is because of Qin Miao's incredible tire management ability.

So if you want to overtake Verstappen, the track is quite difficult and you can only rely on under cut.

After understanding this, Qin Miao took the initiative to cancel the skills he had attached to Leclerc, and slightly widened the time gap between himself and Leclerc, controlling the time gap within the range of 0.8-1.1 seconds. .

Just catch up behind Leclerc within 1 second before entering the DRS monitoring point.

Leclerc was already preparing to pay more attention to Qin Miao behind him, but for some reason, he suddenly felt the pressure on himself lighten, and Qin Miao behind him also pulled away from him a little. position gap.

Although he didn't know if Qin Miao encountered some problems with the car or something else, Leclerc still knew that Qin Miao didn't continue to put pressure on him for whatever reason.

But his current primary goal is to follow Verstappen ahead and try to grab that damn first place.

However, due to Qin Miao's early attack on Leclerc, it was already the 10th lap when Leclerc caught up with Verstappen and started to attack Verstappen.

Of course, although the two drivers in front of Qin Miao were already fighting, Qin Miao did not have the ability to pick up the slack when the two drivers were fighting.

Because Qin Miao's set of soft tires at this time failed faster than Qin Miao and the Mercedes team imagined.

At this time, even if the two cars in front were constantly attacking and defending, all Qin Miao could do was barely stay 1.3 seconds behind Leclerc to ensure that he would not be pulled away.

After persisting on the track for two more laps, Qin Miao finally pitted to change tires at the request of the team.

This time Qin Miao pitted to change tires and put on a brand new set of medium tires, and the team's tire changer also gave Qin Miao a little strength. The tire change took a total of 3.4 seconds.

The right rear tire operator was unable to remove the tire when changing the tire for the first time.

But fortunately, this was the only mistake in changing the tire, and the delay was not much, only 1 second.

The most important thing is that when the team called Qin Miao back, the window behind Qin Miao was very wide. After Qin Miao came out, he did not lose any more positions.

After coming out, Qin Miao fell to the eighth position, with Mick Schumacher and Magnussen in front, and Zhou Guanyu behind.

In today's game, Zhou Guanyu's performance was also extremely good.

Starting 12th, he started so fast that he didn't look like an Arrow car.

He overtook the two cars at the start, and then he caught Ricciardo's mistake in exiting the corner and went from 12th to 9th in one fell swoop.

Of course, in today's race, apart from Zhou Guanyu, who is eye-catching, there are two other drivers who are surprising.

They are Mick and Magruson, nicknamed the Haas duo.

The two drivers actually showed a speed that matches their current rankings at the Red Bull Ring.

Today's Haas is so fast that it's hard to believe that a Haas car can run this car.

After Qin Miao came out, one second behind him was Norris.

At the same time, Qin Miao had just come out of the pit area. The winner was suddenly decided between Ferrari and Red Bull, who were still fighting in front of him.

Leclerc absorbed Verstappen's wake in the DRS area before T4, and when he reached the braking point of T4, Leclerc was already 0.2 seconds behind Verstappen.

Then Leclerc braked late and forced himself into Verstappen's inside line.

And the front of the car got stuck in front of Verstappen before the corner.

Although Leclerc's car briefly pushed due to the accelerator being a little anxious when exiting the corner, Leclerc quickly stabilized his car and did not let the car go out of control.

Leclerc naturally completed his overtake of Verstappen very beautifully.

In front of 60,000 Austrian fans, Verstappen was veiled in person.

However, after Qin Miao learned the news through Team TR, he curled his lips in dissatisfaction, because Qin Miao suddenly had some doubts that Leclerc might actually be able to directly surpass Verstappen, but considering that he had never been behind him, Take action.

I just waited until the durability of my soft tires was gone before I took action.

Of course, Qin Miao's this was just groundless speculation with no factual basis.

And in fact, Leclerc really didn't think so. He just overtook Verstappen in front of him at this time because he just waited for the opportunity at this time.

After passing Verstappen, Leclerc quickly opened up the time gap between himself and Verstappen, and soon the time gap came to 1.5 seconds.

It can be seen that Ferrari was obviously faster than Red Bull in this game.

Anyway, they were overtaken, so Verstappen pitted on lap 13 and put on a set of hard tires.

On the one hand, Verstappen defended Leclerc for so long, and his tires were no longer able to hold up. On the other hand, he also wanted to prevent being undercut by Qin Miao behind Verstappen.

But sometimes things always backfire, even though Qin Miao was put on a strong team by the team in this race, and there were also drivers blocking Qin Miao in front of him.

But Qin Miao was very fast on this track using the medium tires, and the battle between Verstappen and Leclerc took up a lot of Verstappen's time.

So after Verstappen came out, he fell directly behind Qin Miao.

And before Verstappen could attack Qin Miao.

In the DRS area of ​​the starting straight on the 13th lap, Qin Miao raised the tire temperature of his set of medium tires and directly passed Mick Schumacher in front of him.

Although Mick Schumacher at this time had the DRS provided by his front teammate Magruson, Mick Schumacher's car was after all a set of medium tires that had been run for 13 laps. Compared with Qin Miao's new set of medium tires, The difference in tire lap speed is about 0.3 seconds.

In addition, Qin Miao's car is inherently faster than Haas's car.

It is logical for Qin Miao to surpass Mick Schumacher.

Now if Verstappen wants to get his position back, he must first find a way to surpass Mick in front of him.

On the same lap, Leclerc passed Verstappen's position, and Qin Miao also used the same method and the same entry line to pass Magnussen in front of him.

At this time, there was only O'Connell left in front of Qin Miao.

As long as he overtakes O'Connell, there will be a full 7 seconds of clean air in front of him, allowing Qin Miao to run a single lap without any scruples.

Unlike the Haas duo, O'Connell still has a strong desire to resist Qin Miao.

Qin Miao was stunned and wasted a lap on him before overtaking the opponent before the braking point of T3.

Sometimes Qin Miao can't figure it out. There is no conflict in position or ranking between him and Aokang, so you can just let me go? Why are you blocking me here?
After running the race for so long, there is no pressure and you are bored?

You are totally harming others and not benefiting yourself!

After overtaking O'Connell, when T3 came out of the corner, Qin Miao did not run that fast. After the body was straightened, he started to apply fuel, and then slowly but firmly pushed O'Connell towards the outside of the track.

At this time, O'Connell had only two choices. The first was to slow down and give up his position to allow Qin Miao to exit the corner normally.

The other way is to not slow down, block Qin Miao's inner lane, and then be directly squeezed off the track by Qin Miao.

O'Connell is bad, but he is not stupid.

Even a fool can't drive an F1 car or be an F1 driver.

So after seeing Qin Miao's actions, O'Kang decisively gave up his position.

Brother, you are awesome, you go first.

Looking in the rearview mirror, O'Connell took the initiative to give up his seat.

Qin Miao smacked his mouth with some pity. He should have slowed down a bit, so that if O'Connell took the initiative to give in, he would lose more time.

But now that he has surpassed O'Connell, even if this incident has passed, there is no need for him to deliberately slow down his speed to disgust O'Connell just to vent his anger. He is not qualified yet.

After overtaking O'Connell, Qin Miao had more than 7 seconds of free space in front of him, and he could comfortably run long distances.

Opportunities like this are not often encountered in the main competition. (End of chapter)
