How did I become an F1 driver?

What, a cameo from Wandering Earth? The opening of a CSGO match?
Those are not Qin Miao's job, they are hobbies, just like CSGO, which Qin Miao likes to play.

For ordinary players, CSGO is a way of entertainment and relaxation, but for CSGO professionals, this is a job.

The same goes for racing.

At this time, it is the same to apply this theory to Qin Miao and movies, but it needs to be reversed.

When you don't do something often, or when you do something for the first time, it is a very novel experience for you. No matter how tiring it is, you will still find it interesting.

Qin Miao is in this state now.

So after completing the work, Qin Miao applied for a direct flight to Qingdao on the fourth day and flew there directly.

When Qin Miao landed, it was only ten o'clock in the morning.

Guo Fan has now started working mode, and he has no time to come to pick up Qin Miao, but Qin Miao is very surprised by the person who comes to pick up Qin Miao.

Wu Jing.

Maybe the other party doesn't remember Qin Miao, but Qin Miao still remembers the other party.

Today is not the first time Qin Miao and Wu Jing have met.

Qin Miao remembered that before she entered F2, she and Qiu Meng had met each other at the airport.

However, at that time, Wu Jing and himself and Qiu Meng were probably just passers-by, and it was unlikely that the other party would remember them.

But to Qin Miao's surprise, Wu Jing picked up Qin Miao, met Qin Miao and said hello, then looked at Qin Miao in silence for a while.

"What's wrong?" Qin Miao asked with some confusion.

Wu Jing frowned and asked, "Qin Miao, have we met somewhere before?"

Qin Miao raised his eyebrows.

"I always feel that your face looks familiar, but not the kind of familiarity that I often see you on TV, but the kind of familiarity that I have seen in real life and left a deep impression on me." Wu Jing said with a frown.

"You really remember it!" Qin Miao sighed in surprise.

This time it was Wu Jing's turn to be surprised: "Ah? Have we really met?"

Qin Miao nodded: "I have indeed seen it. At that time, I had not entered F2 and was not famous.

I remember it was at Hongqiao Airport. When you came out of the airport, someone recognized you and shook hands with people on the roadside.

My wife and I went over to join in the fun, but when you were about to shake hands with her, I intercepted you. "

"Oh! I remembered, it turned out to be you!" Wu Jing's face was immediately filled with realization.

Then there was more of an accident on his face that times had changed and people had changed.

Looking at the young man in front of him who was full of confidence and interpreted the two idioms of young, frivolous and high-spirited to the extreme, Wu Jing shook his head and sighed: "You looked like an ordinary college student at that time. Who would have thought that you were just an ordinary college student?" Just a few years later, you became the F1 world champion.”

"Maybe this is fate, who can say for sure?" Qin Miao shrugged: "And as a fan of The Wandering Earth, I didn't expect that the door that had just been opened for Chinese science fiction would be closed by the Shanghai cannon."

"Shanghai Cannon?...Okay..." Wu Jing was stunned for a while before he realized what the Shanghai Cannon in Qin Miao's mouth was.

Then he laughed a little, shook his head and said: "This time, you may feel as if the door to domestic science fiction has been kicked open, and the door has been kicked down."

"Then I'll wait and see."

After getting in the car driven by Wu Jing, the two went to the filming base built by Guo Fan in Qingdao.

When Qin Miao arrived, he immediately attracted onlookers.

It stands to reason that in a place like the set, it is almost normal for these staff members to meet celebrities and so on, and everyone has long been accustomed to it.

But the difference is that Qin Miao is not strictly a star, but an athlete.

It's just that it's more famous.

So even the crew, who were used to seeing big winds and waves, were quite surprised when they saw Qin Miao.

After dealing with the staff who were a little excited to see him, Qin Miao walked around the photography base under the leadership of a staff member specially arranged for Qin Miao.

Qin Miao originally thought that domestic science fiction movies might often use green screens, but when Qin Miao came to this film and television base, Qin Miao found that many things were set up in real scenes, and he also saw rows of door frames. Skeleton equipment, white UEG painted truck.

The key is that Qin Miao discovered that these things can be moved.

To be honest, after seeing so much real-life equipment, Qin Miao really felt that Guo Fan and the others were really doing something practical.

After all, all kinds of armored vehicles, engineering vehicles, and equipment that look awesome and futuristic are placed in front of you, and all the staff here are doing their jobs seriously.

His eyes are filled with enthusiasm for his current job.

In any case, Qin Miao felt that his 30 million investment would not be in vain, at least Qin Miao would be willing to admit it if he lost money.

Soon, Qin Miao entered the photography base. After meeting with Guo Fan, who was extremely busy, he got the book of his guest role.

Considering that Qin Miao has never learned acting at all, it is unlikely that Guo Fan will arrange any heavy scenes for Qin Miao with few lines.

Even if there are pictures, they are only in the corners.

Qin Miao's character is a trainee who participated in the training camp with Wu Jing and was eliminated in the end.

The main scenes of the character Qin Miao also focus on this aspect.

What's interesting is that the reason why the character Qin Miao was eliminated in the end was because Qin Miao's ability to resist G-force was not good enough. When riding in the space elevator, he would faint due to excessive G-force, so he was eliminated.

But in fact, Qin Miao's ability to resist the G-force of 4G in reality is as normal as eating and drinking. Qin Miao can also try it with a peak G-force of 6`7G.

The reason for such elimination is mainly due to the fact that Qin Miao came to make a guest appearance, and after discovering Qin Miao, the audience must know Qin Miao's career and his achievements in his career.

Eliminating Qin Miao in this way that is seriously inconsistent with reality gave the audience a sense of contrast and surprise.

Of course, Guo Fan also said that he didn't know whether this scene would be edited into it later.

In short, Qin Miao stayed in Qingdao for three days, all of which were filming Qin Miao's scenes.

Qin Miao naturally enjoyed this process. At the same time, Qin Miao also got to know many actors, such as Sha Yi, Wang Zhi, and Li Xuejian.

It's a pity that Andy Lau's schedule is still behind him and Qin Miao has no chance to see him.

All in all, after two days, Qin Miao took the flowers sent by Guo Fan and concluded the ceremony amidst the sound of firecrackers.

After filming was completed, Qin Miao spent 500,000 yuan out of his own pocket to treat the entire crew to a meal.

That's right, half a million is just enough for one meal.

There are really too many people in Guo Fan's crew.

More than two thousand people were busy at a photography base, just for a movie, and they really worked hard.

And Qin Miao also gained a novel experience that was difficult to obtain under normal circumstances. To be honest, he was quite happy.

But Qin Miao never wants to make a movie again. His acting skills are really not up to par. Qin Miao will be a little irritable after being NGed too many times.

After this incident, Qin Miao returned to Shanghai.

In the following time, Qin Miao's only remaining job is to attend the opening ceremony of a CSGO game.

But that was all at the end of the summer break.

Next, Qin Miao has a total of 7 days of rest time that is entirely his own.

Qin Miao returned to his hometown in the past seven days, and at the same time, his mother and Qiu Meng also came back.

After returning to his hometown, although Qin Miao briefly enjoyed the treatment of a big star, both the elderly and children in the family surrounded Qin Miao for a while as if they were watching a giant panda.

Then after half a day, everyone walked away without interest.

Many people were still mumbling something when they left: "He's still the same boy as before. There is no difference except that his temperament looks more capable and energetic than before."

Qin Miao was speechless. He had only been out for three years in total. It was normal for his appearance not to have changed much in three years!

What else do you want me to become?

After that, Qin Miao's daily life returned to the comfortable rhythm before leaving his hometown.

But the difference is that there is an extra Qiu Meng in the family.

Except for the people in Qin Miao's yard who knew about the news that Qin Miao was back, there was no news outside.

No one told this matter outside.

After all, everyone knows the current public opinion environment. If it is known that Qin Miao is back, then Qin Miao's yard will never have peace.

It can be said that the courtyard where Qin Miao lives is rarer than many high-end apartments.

At least the residents who live here are very clear-headed and are not just thinking about their own gains and losses.

Of course, Qin Miao's daily life is still a little different than before. That is, after Qiu Meng was at home, Qin Miao's status plummeted.

The world champion is now responsible for cooking and washing dishes at home every day.

It wasn't until Qin Miao stayed at Qiu Meng's house for two days that he realized what it means for a mother-in-law to be more and more pleased with her son-in-law.

In short, this was the most comfortable few days that Qin Miao had spent.

Every day I just cook, play games, start a live broadcast, chat with my friends in the live broadcast room for a while, and then use my phone to like other colleagues’ tweets and make critical comments about Leclerc’s weight gain and his performance on the track. At least 0.05 speed is lost.

Then I asked Pan Zi to go skiing in the Alps.

Although Qin Miao's invitation on Verstappen's Twitter was quickly rejected by Red Bull, many fans also found fun here.

Of course, this process is also accompanied by a lot of controversy.

Although Qin Miao just posted a sentence under Verstappen's tweet: "Let's go skiing together when we have time".

However, many Qin Miao's fans are still using this topic to accuse Qin Miao of disrespecting the deceased and making fun of Michael Schumacher's tragic experience.

As for whether Qin Miao just wanted to invite Verstappen to ski in a literal sense, they didn't care at all.

Although the driver industry has indeed become somewhat inconsistent with snow due to Michael Schumacher's accident, the verbal and written criticism of Qin Miao because of this is indeed a bit too radical. Of course, Qin Miao doesn't care much about it.

Even he has long been accustomed to the noise in this area. Since winning the F1 world championship, Qin Miao's anti-fans have increased exponentially like his fans.

He has long been used to it.

But no matter what, these days here in Qin Miao are mostly comfortable and comfortable.

But the time of comfort is always short-lived, and soon all the holidays in the summer break slipped away without a trace.

Qin Miao knew that it was time to return to the busy pace of work and life in the paddock.

After saying goodbye to his neighbors, Qin Miao returned to the UK with a large amount of home-cooked food and various gifts on his own plane.

After returning to the UK, Qin Miao naturally went to the team to report as soon as possible. However, when Qin Miao arrived at the team, he received a piece of news that surprised Qin Miao.

Ricciardo is leaving McLaren next season.

If Qin Miao remembers correctly, Ricciardo signed a three-year contract with the McLaren team, which means that Ricciardo's cooperation with McLaren will last until 2023.

I didn't expect that the contract would be terminated now.

The reason is not difficult to guess.

Because Ricciardo's performance in the past two seasons was seriously inconsistent with the McLaren team's expectations and expectations of him, throughout the year, Ricciardo hardly defeated his teammate Norris, and his salary was even higher than that of his teammate Norris. Norris high.

Of course McLaren couldn't stand it.

Therefore, McLaren terminated the driver contract with Ricciardo one year in advance and paid Ricciardo's annual salary of US$2023 million in 3 in accordance with the contract provisions.

Ricciardo needs to leave McLaren after the 2022 season.

In fact, strictly speaking, this is not a bad thing for Ricardo.

After all, not only can he get the salary compensated by McLaren for the whole year of 2023, but he can also find a new team to get a salary.

Of course, the premise is that Ricciardo has to find a team willing to take him.

Although this news surprised Qin Miao, McLaren did not directly drive Ricciardo away in the middle of the season.

This is the only good ending for Ricardo in the current situation.

"I hope he has found his next home in advance." Qin Miao said after returning the tablet in his hand to Barber.

Barbour nodded as well.

Then he scratched his head with some doubts: "To be honest, Ricciardo was definitely a very competitive driver when he was at Red Bull. I don't know why after switching to McLaren, Ricciardo was Lando exploded like this.”

Qin Miao shrugged: "I don't know, maybe it's because Lando is strong enough, or maybe the McLaren car is more suitable for Lando's driving style. If it doesn't work, I'll call and ask."

While chatting, Toto and the others also came in, and the next step was the content of the team meeting.

The main thing is to arrange the budget allocation of the team in the second half of the season, as well as the vehicle research and development route, as well as logistics and transportation issues.

Qin Miao actually didn't need to participate, but after being idle at home for so long, Qin Miao also felt a little itchy. The simulator at home couldn't help Qin Miao excel, so he wanted to go back to the simulator in the team factory to find a driver. The feel of an F1 racing car.

Stop by for a team meeting.

After the team meeting, I worked in the team simulator department for more than four hours. After having fun, I took a plane to Stockholm the next day to participate in a CSGO exhibition match.

And before this, no one knew that Qin Miao would come to participate in this CSGO exhibition match before the game.

So when Qin Miao came out from the backstage, the audience was stunned for at least three seconds.

Just when Qin Miao thought that his fame was not enough among these people, a terrifying cheer erupted from the scene.

Even the domestic audience who were preparing to watch the exhibition match were stunned for a while after seeing Qin Miao.

Afterwards, no matter which live broadcast room was watching the exhibition match of this game, the screen was filled with question marks.

Qin Miao had heard cheers before, and it could even be said that he listened to them every Grand Prix weekend, but in a closed environment, it was almost like shouting loudly. This was the first time Qin Miao heard it.

It's really shocking.

Very happy too.

Next up is the exhibition match.

As an F1 driver, Qin Miao has a good psychological quality. He won't feel nervous playing in front of so many people. What's more, this is just an exhibition match, and the outcome does not matter.

The people who formed the team with Qin Miao were also professional players who were eliminated early in this game and missed the finals.

At the same time, there are many fun modes in this game.

For example, low gravity makes everyone run very fast.

Mouse reverse.

Infinite throwing objects and so on.

In short, Qin Miao still had a lot of fun in this pre-game exhibition match.

After the exhibition match, Qin Miao's record was pretty good.

After a total of 24 rounds, Qin Miao scored 20 kills and 19 deaths.

Although many of the kills here were caused by teammates sending sniper rifles to Qin Miao, and Qin Miao used the sniper rifle to take them, at least Qin Miao's record was not negative, right?

After the exhibition match, Qin Miao gained many professional friends on Steam. After taking photos with many fans, Qin Miao left with satisfaction.

During this process, Barber followed Qin Miao all the time.

Barber does not play games in his daily life. He prefers watching football to playing games.

This is basically a sport that most Europeans like.

However, looking at Qin Miao's popularity at the competition, Barber still sighed: "Is this the appeal and popularity of a world champion?"

Qin Miao was actually a little surprised at the time. After all, he only knew that he was somewhat famous in China. In the domestic CSGO circle, he should also have a certain degree of popularity, but he really didn't know that he could be so famous in the foreign CSGO circle. of popularity.

The surprise and surprise on the faces of many audience members after seeing him were not fake, they were all truly surprised that he appeared here.

"I'm actually quite surprised that I have so many fans."

"You didn't know you had so many supporters and you came to this event?"

Qin Miao glanced at Barber: "I came to this event not for anything else, just because I think it's fun."

Barber was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and laughed: "I didn't expect you to give me such a reason, but it is indeed something you can do."

……

For the rest of the day, life went on as usual.

However, Qin Miao found that when he was testing the car in the team simulator, the car gave him some weird feedback. The overall mechanical grip in corners was much weaker, especially in low-speed corners, where it was easier to push than before. Head.

This is not understeer, but head pushing, which is more serious than understeer.

After asking Franky and the others, they found out that the FIA ​​issued new technical regulations before the summer break, which is the so-called TD039 directive.

This technical instruction sounds quite advanced, but the actual content is very simple and crude.

In short, this technical directive stipulates that the amplitude of dolphin jumps of all F1 teams' cars on the track must be reduced and reduced to a specified frequency.

The car cannot bounce more than this frequency, otherwise you will be penalized.

The FIA ​​does not restrict the methods that teams can use to limit the dolphin jump of the car within the scope allowed by the rules, whether it is raising the floor, increasing suspension rigidity, or controlling the speed of the car.

You can use any method, but you can't jump anymore.

After finding out, Qin Miao said with some confusion: "Why didn't you tell me in advance? It made me think that the team had some negative upgrades."

Frankie was speechless: "Basically every week we will send an email to your mailbox. The main content of the email is to report to you what changes and upgrades the team has made to your car this week. Don't tell me what you have done." have not seen."

Qin Miao: "Huh? Is there still this thing? I haven't seen my work email since I joined the company..."

Franky:? ? ?

"Forget it, it won't have much impact anyway." Franky waved his hand helplessly.

After all, it is just a report. Whether or not you watch it will not affect Qin Miao's performance in the main game. After all, Qin Miao's performance is really stable.

Barber then said: "For next week's Belgian Grand Prix, the team has brought new chassis optimizations to both you and Hamilton.

But this is not an upgrade, it is just an optimization of the chassis on the existing basis, which can be regarded as laying a foundation for future upgrades.

The team spent the entire summer break just to come up with this chassis, so you can imagine how difficult it was to make.

However, future upgrades will be on this new platform, and I believe the team’s progress will be much faster.

Although there is an upgrade, the current upgrade is laying the foundation for future rearrangement, so the effect of the upgrade will be very little, or even a reverse upgrade, so you have to be mentally prepared. "

After hearing this, Qin Miao waved his hands indifferently: "It's the same. Anyway, I just rely on my tire advantage to score points in the race."

"Yes, now we expect that the TD039 directive will have a certain impact on Red Bull and Ferrari."

……

The morning of August 25th.

Qin Miao arrived in Belgium.

Qin Miao still likes Spa, the longest track in the entire racing calendar.

On the one hand, this track is difficult, and on the other hand, it is because of the danger of this track. The most important thing is that the El Rog corner is really exciting.

Every drive is a physical and psychological challenge.

When cornering on a high-speed uphill blind bend, in addition to taking a familiar route, it also depends on whether your horoscope is strong enough. (End of chapter)
