How did I become an F1 driver?

Qin Miao was also a little surprised. After all, Verstappen had reduced the time gap between the opponent and himself so small without saying a word.

The other party also hid a lot of things.

Later in the race, there was light rain in some places on the track.

However, the light rain never happened and did not leave more rain on the track. Naturally, it was unable to interfere with Qin Miao's driving.

Although Verstappen prayed to God for rain in his heart countless times, the only answer he received was getting darker and darker. The rain kept falling, but it never really rained heavily.

On lap 64, Hamilton passed Sainz in front of him and came to third.

After Hamilton completed his overtaking of Sainz, the top three rankings in this game were already determined.

The Mercedes team brought back one or three. It can be said that Mercedes won this game with a complete victory.

At the same time, the on-site director also very wisely showed the live broadcast footage to Toto in the P room of the Mercedes team.

At this time, Toto had a very satisfied smile on his face, but the game was not over yet, so Toto still tightened his expression and did not smile too presumptuously.

After all, the sky on the track is getting darker and darker at this time. From the monitoring of the weather cloud map, it is not difficult to see that a large rain cloud is moving towards the track. There is a possibility of rain on the track at any time.

Toto, who knew that Qin Miao was weak because of the rain, was still a little worried that Qin Miao would lose his championship due to the rain.

Although the head of the weather department clearly told Toto that it was unlikely to rain on the track before the end of the race.

At the end of the race, the top management of all the teams were staring at the weather cloud map, waiting for the last rain, or praying that it would never rain.

However, neither of these situations occurred on the track. Instead, on lap 68, Bottas' car stopped on the track due to a power unit failure.

And because the problem with Bottas' car was at the junction of the second and third timing sections where the low-speed corners were relatively congested, Bottas' car itself didn't have much inertia, enough for him to move the car to Matthew's entrance.

The place where he parked his car was also a bit far from the Matthew intersection.

Therefore, in order to avoid secondary accidents, the competition will provide a virtual safety car for problems that can be solved by a yellow flag.

However, there are only two laps left before the end of the game, so if nothing else happens, the final ranking of this game is already determined.

The final result is naturally the ranking of the current drivers.

In fact, the race restarted on lap 69.

And the rain on the track also started to increase.

But there was no change in the position of the drivers between the driver who finally crossed the finish line and the virtual safety car.

In the end, Qin Miao started from pole position and took home the championship, completing his fifth Pole to win in his career.

After the game is over, the driver rankings and scores are as follows:

P1: Qin Miao +25
P2: Verstappen +18
P3: Hamilton +15 (fastest lap)
P4: Sainz +12
P5: Perez +10
P6: Leclerc +8
P7: Norris +6
P8: Alonso +4
P9: O'Connell +2
P10: Vettel +1
Needless to say, Qin Miao's championship was a reflection of his absolute tire management ability and long-distance speed stability.

It's stable and fast, and once again takes Mercedes racing to a level it doesn't belong to.

Hamilton scored a point for the fastest lap because the soft tires he put on during his pit stop late in the race performed very well during the race.

Ocon, who defended Alonso like a lion throughout the game, failed to hold his position as he wished. When he finally crossed the line, he could only score two points in ninth behind Alonso.

And Zhou Guanyu was not as strong as before in today's game.

Not only Zhou Guanyu, but also Bottas in this race was not very fast, and both Arrow drivers failed to enter the points area in the end.

Ordinary viewers may be a little confused, but those who often watch F1 will know that this is because Arrow Racing's bonus has expired.

The upgrades of other teams' cars gradually had an effect, but the upgrades of the Arrow team were mediocre and could not cover the speed of other teams after the upgrade. Therefore, Arrow's cars lost their competitiveness.

At the same time, the overall driver standings after this race is as follows:

1: Qin Miao.224
2: Verstappen.199
3: Leclerc.164
4: Perez.160
5: Sainz.117
6: Hamilton.110
7: Norris.64
8: O'Connell.56
9: Bottas.38
10: Alonso.27
11: Magnussen.19
12: Zhou Guanyu.19
13: Gasly.15
14: Vettel.15
15: Ricardo.14
16: Tsunoda.9
17: Mick.6
18: Stroll.2
19: Albon.1
The team standings are as follows:
1: Red Bull: 379
2: Mercedes: 377
3: Ferrari: 304
4: Alpine: 95
5: McLaren: 78
6: Alfa Romeo: 64
7: Haas: 25
8: Little Red Bull: 24
9: Aston Martin: 18
10: Williams: 1
After this game, the points gap between Mercedes and Red Bull was only 2 points.

Entering the summer break with such a points gap, I believe the team engineers of Red Bull Racing will probably not be able to sleep.

I believe that Red Bull's top brass, such as Horner and Newey, will be anxious about this matter throughout the summer break.

Of course, these things are not what Qin Miao and the Mercedes team need to consider now.

After crossing the finish line under the waving of the checkered flag, Qin Miao, who had been soaring with adrenaline throughout the race, finally had time to take a deep breath.

"Well done Qin Miao, this is another Pole to win in your career. If I remember correctly, this should be your fifth Pole to win. Enjoy your moment of honor." Fran Qi's voice always sounds like BGM every time Qin Miao wins.

"Let's go!! Hahahaha! It's great!" Although I knew that I had a high probability of winning today's game, I felt completely different after the victory was secured.

Although Qin Miao is no stranger to this feeling, Qin Miao still can't help but feel happy every time he truly wins.

This may be the reason why so many people are tirelessly pursuing the F1 championship.

Toto also intervened in the conversation between Qin Miao and Franky at the right time: "What an incredible race. You did a great job today, Qin Miao. We are proud of you."

"Thank you, BOSS. Today's game was indeed perfect, hahaha. Also, thank Lewis for me."

……

After chatting with the team bosses, Qin Miao drove his own car and returned to the post-race car inspection area with Hamilton one after another.

At this time, it started to rain lightly on the track.

Qin Miao, who had always hated rain, had a smile on his face after seeing the rain. This rain was in line with Qin Miao's expectations. It didn't rain during the main game, and the raindrops fell from the sky only after the game was over.

Soon, Qin Miao's Mercedes car parked at the spot where the Hungarian Grand Prix champion car parked.

After Qin Miao's car stopped, the crowd of Mercedes-Benz team members who had been waiting for a long time burst into cheers. Everyone applauded and blessed Qin Miao's performance today. This time, Qin Miao installed his steering wheel firmly before getting out of the car to celebrate.

Then he celebrated in the car and turned around and entered the warm embrace of the team staff.

He happily hugged and shook hands with everyone. After having fun, Hamilton also got out of the car and walked to Qin Miao.

Qin Miao went over and hugged the old man.

Then Qin Miao's white helmet touched Hamilton's yellow helmet, and Qin Miao said loudly: "Thanks, brother.

Without your help, I might not have won this game so easily. "

Hamilton also replied loudly against Qin Miao's helmet: "Come on, stop pretending in front of me."

As he said that, Hamilton raised his head in the direction of Qin Miao's racing tires: "With the tires you have, you won't have any tire wear problems if you continue to run 10 laps on the track."

Qin Miao also looked at his tires. The treads were clean and free of debris. Although there were a lot of small tire rubber stuck to them, the overall condition of the tires was very good.

After only needing to use a special tire scraper to scrape off the tire rubber on the surface, Qin Miao's set of tires was more than enough for collecting data during practice sessions.

Qin Miao shrugged: "Well, you have discovered this. You were indeed a little pretentious when you helped me."

Hamilton wasn't angry either. He smiled and patted Qin Miao's helmet: "But no matter what, you owe me a meal."

Qin Miao raised his eyebrows and said dissatisfied: "Didn't you say that your help had no effect? ​​Why do I still owe you a meal?"

"Whether it worked is one thing, but whether I did it or not is another matter." Hamilton smiled and let go of Qin Miao and went to celebrate with the team staff.

Qin Miao spread her hands helplessly.

彳庍口巴.

Afterwards, Qin Miao greeted Verstappen who was weighing in and completed the post-race weigh-in.

Next comes the post-game interview.

This process was simply skipped. Qin Miao's post-game interview was nothing worth mentioning. After all, Qin Miao's victory in today's game was also a pure victory of Qin Miao's personal heroism.

Instead, it was in the preparation room after the game. When Qin Miao was wiping his sweat and preparing to put on his hat to go to the podium, the monitor in the room just showed a picture of Hamilton helping Qin Miao defend Verstappen.

One thing to say, judging from Qin Miao's professional level, Hamilton's defense actually has a lot of room for improvement.

If the positions of himself and Hamilton were switched, Qin Miao felt that he could defend Verstappen for at least 4 laps.

But it was hard to say after 4 laps, because Hamilton's tires were indeed unable to hold up at that time.

"How many seconds did your defense against me help Qin Miao buy?" Verstappen on the side turned his head and looked at Hamilton after seeing this.

"About 2 seconds, I didn't check with the team carefully."

Verstappen said helplessly: "If you hadn't helped Qin Miao defend, I might have threatened Qin Miao's championship in today's game."

Qin Miao on the side didn't say anything after hearing Verstappen's words, but just smiled.

Hamilton, on the other hand, glanced calmly at Qin Miao, who was smiling.

He said with an unmoved face: "It is indeed possible. Qin Miao's speed dropped significantly at the end."

Hamilton was complaining in his heart, what is wrong with young people today? One is as innocent as a fool who only knows how to drive a racing car, while the other appears to be gentle, courteous and thrifty, but is full of bad intentions once he gets to the track.

Take Qin Miao's set of medium tires that ran for 48 laps. With the margin of Qin Miao's set of medium tires, can you believe that he can run more than 10 laps?

I really don’t know how Qin Miao did it. Why can his set of tires last so much longer than the drivers of other teams?

After chatting for a while, staff from the track organizer came over to inform the three drivers that they were about to go on stage to receive their awards.

Subsequently, under the notification of the staff, Hamilton, Verstappen and Qin Miao came to the stage to receive the award.

When Qin Miao came out, the originally empty straightaway was already occupied by racing fans. The crowds were no longer enough to describe the scene Qin Miao saw from a high position. It was really just a crowd of people sitting next to each other. Like a can of sardines.

The most outrageous thing was that Qin Miao saw someone holding a white foam sign of DRS and having fun.

This is the second time Qin Miao saw someone holding this thing for fun when he was on the podium.

Although this "souvenir" is indeed special enough for fans who come to participate in the F1 Grand Prix, Qin Miao still has some doubts. Isn't he afraid of being taken away with such a souvenir?
It takes up a lot of space to bring such a big thing home, right? Are you sure you have enough space at home to put this thing?
But no matter what, when Elliot came on stage and took his seat, Qin Miao also suppressed the smile on his face.

It continues until the end of the national anthem.

While Qin Miao and several others were receiving awards after the national anthem session, Fei Ge from Five Star Sports smiled and said, "Although this is not the first time we have listened to this song on the podium after the game, But I don’t know why I can’t get enough of you.”

As soon as Fei Ge finished his words, the other two commentators also laughed together.

"Of course, we will never tire of hearing this song no matter what, especially in the F1 arena. I wish I could hear this song in every grand prix." Brother Bing also agreed with a smile.

……

After the award-winning session ended and Qin Miao and the others celebrated on the track, the Hungarian Grand Prix officially ended. The first half of the 12022 F season also ended, and the one-month offseason will begin.

In fact, strictly speaking, the offseason is only two weeks, which is only 14 days.

However, these two weeks are the FIA's mandatory vacation time. All team staff are on vacation and no overtime is allowed.

Even the FIA ​​will send people over to keep an eye on it, just to prevent some teams from secretly conducting research and development at this time, and then relying on this period of the offseason to overtake other teams' cars in corners.

But in addition to these two weeks, there are still two weeks for the team to carry out normal R&D and design work.

But for Qin Miao and other part-time workers, some rest is better than none. As for the research and development of racing cars... we’ll talk about it after the summer break! (End of chapter)
