How did I become an F1 driver?

Although the Mercedes team was ready for Qin Miao to pit for tire changes, and even Hamilton, who had led almost the entire race, chose to pit for medium tires on this lap, Qin Miao still chose reject.

After all, Qin Miao was driving the car, and even if the team objected, it would be impossible to pull Qin Miao out of the car.

Therefore, Mercedes could only watch helplessly as Qin Miao missed the entrance to the pit area while driving his car.

At this time, Qin Miao's idea was very simple. I don't know why in today's game, Leclerc's condition was obviously better than before, whether it was the stability of overall speed or the ability to withstand pressure.

This means that Qin Miao's skills are directly ineffective against Leclerc.

So if Qin Miao follows Leclerc's lead and pits to change tires at the same time as him, then Qin Miao will still be behind Leclerc after the tire change is completed.

This makes no sense anymore.

Qin Miao still wants to win the championship in this race. This is not just because he wants to defeat his good friend Leclerc, but also because after all, it is rare to have a race in which Verstappen's condition is so poor.

Qin Miao wanted to take advantage of Verstappen's poor condition to score more points.

Therefore, Qin Miao wanted to continue on the track, and because there was no obstruction from Leclerc in front of him, Qin Miao felt that he could push forward with all his strength for two laps before the temperature of Leclerc's tires came up, and use the rest of this set of tires. Stop and change tires after all the fuel is used up.

So on the lap after Leclerc pitted, Qin Miao began to push forward with all his strength.

However, the conditions on the track at this time were much better than normal, so all drivers and teams found that after one lap, the driver using semi-wet tires was slower than the driver using dry tires by more than 1 second on average. .

After seeing this data, the commentators of Five-Star Sports suddenly felt their hearts tremble.

"Why didn't the team ask Qin Miao to pit?" Fei Ge had already begun to question the Mercedes team without knowing the truth.

Even if he later found out that this was Qin Miao's initiative, Fei Ge was still aggrieved and felt that the team's order to ask Qin Miao to pit was not firm enough.

But the calf protector knows everything.

"Yes, the team should be tougher at times like this." Brother Bing also agreed.

Zhou Haoran was also full of anxiety at this time, but he had been watching Verstappen's results.

After all, although it seems that Hamilton has been leading the race today, Qin Miao's main competitor is Leclerc in front of him.

But in fact, it doesn’t matter whether the championship of this race falls into the hands of Hamilton or Leclerc. What is really closely related to Qin Miao’s own interests is whether not pitting this time will make Qin Miao fall to Verstappen. behind.

On the track, after one lap, Qin Miao found that even if he pushed forward with all his strength, all he could do was barely keep the time gap between himself and Leclerc from being too wide by Leclerc.

But this news was only found out when Qin Miao crossed the line on the 36th lap.

Therefore, if Qin Miao wants to make amends, he must pit at the end of lap 36.

To be honest, even Qin Miao felt a little cold at this time.

"Qin Miao, you are so stubborn that you have caused big trouble this time!" Zhou Haoran said with some helplessness and regret: "Now Leclerc's single lap speed is 0.5 seconds faster than Qin Miao, and Verstappen is also faster than Qin Miao. Quickly, even Perez behind Qin Miao had already undercut Qin Miao.

This time he didn't listen to the team's advice, which cost him at least two positions on the track. "

"Hey, now we can only hope that it's not too late for Qin Miao to make up for the situation." Brother Bing also sighed sadly.

Fei Ge even shook his head and said: "Now it depends on Qin Miao's speed in this lap. Will he fall behind Verstappen after coming out of the pit area..."

On the track, Qin Miao also realized that he was a little over the top.

Of course he felt a little regretful now. He didn't know why. After hearing the team's instructions in this game, he was not like what happened in all previous games. He followed the team's requirements and just wanted to follow his own ideas and rhythm.

And just when all Qin Miao's fans sighed and everyone on the team's side was silent.

During the second period on the track, a yellow flag suddenly appeared.

Yuki Tsunoda, who had just come out of the pit lane and put on medium tires, appeared on the broadcast screen. Along with Yuki Tsunoda, there was also the Toro Rosso that he had inserted into the cushion on the side of the track.

After seeing this scene, the three commentators from Five Star Sports were silent for a moment, and then they immediately cheered: "Yuki Tsunoda crashed!"

"Qin Miao! Qin Miao can take this opportunity to stop and change tires!"

"Perfect timing, perfect position. If Qin Miao pits now, his position is first! His actual position is first! He undercut three drivers including his teammate Hamilton."

"The protective wall cushion was collapsed by Yuki Tsunoda! The race will dispatch the safety car no matter what! Repair the cushion! What a great opportunity! What a great opportunity!"

"Hahaha, Qin Miao is a blessing in disguise!"

"Is there a possibility that Qin Miao has calculated this possibility? He didn't pit because he was gambling! After all, the current track conditions are not that good, and it is difficult for the track temperature to reach the normal level of medium tires. Operating temperature."

After the three commentators from Five Star Sports saw this scene, it was really the clown riding the rocket - they were so happy.

On the one hand, it was because of Qin Miao's inexplicable stubbornness that he accidentally took all the bonuses after Tsunoda Yuki's mistake in going up the wall. On the other hand, it was because of the three commentators who were happy to explain that this time they went up the wall. The driver is Yuki Tsunoda.

Although the three commentators did not have any particular dislike for the driver Yuki Tsunoda, after all, the plaster flag was draped behind his back, and even a Chinese would have some hidden hostility toward him when he saw it.

After such a scene appears, how can we not let the three commentators gloat?

Double happiness comes to our door, double happiness comes to our door!

In addition to the five-star sports commentators, the spectators who could understand the F1 game at the scene all cheered in surprise when they saw Qin Miao entering the pits at this time, because they also knew that Yuki Tsunoda made this mistake. What an advantage it gave Qin Miao.

As for the team:
"BOX! BOX! Don't be stubborn this time, Qin Miao, trust us!" French reminded Qin Miao in the team TR as soon as the FIA ​​issued the safety car.

"Okay, but I got the advantage by accident, didn't I?" Qin Miao let out a sigh of relief and also exhaled.

"Yes, we don't deny it, but these things are unpredictable. Please don't do this next time, okay?"

"Ok."

Qin Miao took advantage of the situation to stop and change tires.

It stands to reason that at this time, even if the team makes a mistake in changing tires, there will be no problem, but people are like this. The more they should cheer up, the easier it is to make mistakes, but the more they should relax, the easier it is to change something. Things are going well.

The tire change time was 2.05 seconds. Qin Miao was stunned. This should be the fastest tire change for the Mercedes team this season.

The semi-wet tires that had been worn to slicks were replaced with a new set of medium tires.

Although Qin Miao's soft tires had good durability on this track and his lap speed was very fast. Qin Miao also thought about changing to soft tires, but the team refused. The team still feels that the C5's soft tires wear out a bit too quickly.

Even if Qin Miao drives with his unparalleled tire protection method, a set of soft tires can only allow him to last 20 laps on the track. After 20 laps, he must stop and change tires.

Otherwise, Qin Miao's speed on the soft tire would drop sharply on the one hand, and there would also be a risk of a puncture on the other.

There are still 24 laps left before the end of the race. Although the safety car will be used for a few laps, Qin Miao's actual position is now in the first place. He no longer has the need to use soft tires to chase the driver in front, so he needs to be more stable. The most important thing is finishing this race on a set of medium tires.

At least in the later stages of the race, if a driver caught up with Qin Miao, Qin Miao would have enough tire margin to defend the driver behind him.

After all, he had already suffered a loss once, and he also promised Franky that he would no longer disobey the team's instructions in this game.

After coming out of the pit area, Qin Miao kept up with the pace of the safety car.

The standings on the track at this time are as follows:

1: Qin Miao

2: Hamilton

3: Perez
4: Leclerc

5: Sainz
6: Norris
7: Verstappen

8: Ricardo
9: Stroll

10: Vettel
It can be seen here that in addition to Qin Miao, Norris and Ricciardo, the two McLaren drivers who also did not pit for tire changes, also reaped the dividends from Yuki Tsunoda's mistake.

In fact, Ricciardo did not enter the points area originally, but when Tsunoda triggered the safety car, the two McLaren drivers did not enter the pit area to change tires.

So these two people also benefited from the safety car bonus this time.

Putting aside these two people, Hamilton's heart exploded when he saw the familiar rear of the car appearing in front of him.

Damn it, I led the entire race! A whole show!

The peach was just picked away by Qin Miao, the sixth child.

But Hamilton had no choice but to watch helplessly.

Sometimes life is like this, and all your efforts may not be as useful as someone else's choice.

After taking the lead, Qin Miao also discovered good news, because at this time, except for the driving lanes on the track, the non-racing lines outside the track were still wet.

Therefore, DRS may not be turned on at tournaments.

Even if DRS is turned on and the non-racing line is wet, Qin Miao's defensive difficulty will be reduced exponentially. He only needs to stand on the dry track lane, and the opponent basically has no possibility of late braking on the inside line.

If he dares to brake late, he can rush out.

In addition, behind him is his teammate Hamilton, not a Red Bull car, so Qin Miao feels that his championship in today's game is guaranteed.

But then Frankie told Qin Miao a piece of news: "Qin Miao, it will take a long time for the track to repair the buffer zone guardrail."

Qin Miao asked: "Are we going to send out the red flag?"

"There should not be a red flag, but this safety car is expected to last for a long time, and because there were so many safety cars in today's race, the last 22 laps were changed to a 40-minute countdown. It is expected that we will still need to 20 laps on the track," French explained.

Qin Miao reluctantly opened his helmet and goggles to dissipate heat. Now he was following the safety car. The wind pressure was not particularly strong, so there was no harm in opening the window for ventilation.

At the same time, Qin Miao said: "I started to regret that I didn't insist on using soft tires just now."

Frankie also felt a little emotional. If today's race were to be conducted completely according to Qin Miao's own ideas, although all the choices Qin Miao made on the track would be different from the perspective of a professional driver or team strategy team member. These choices are completely wrong.

However, Qin Miao's choice will always become the best choice at the moment due to some strange conditions on the track.

It can only be said that as Qin Miao's half-home team, Qin Miao was somewhat blessed by luck during the Singapore Grand Prix.

“It’s over now, don’t think about it so much.

But now that you have won the first place, holding on to your current position is the most important and critical thing at the moment. "Frankie generously acknowledged Qin Miao's words, but this was due to luck and had nothing to do with the professionalism of the team and whether they made mistakes. In the end, he encouraged and calmed Qin Miao's emotions.

The game restarted with 35 minutes left before the end of the game.

Qin Miao still informed Hamilton of his start time in the team TR.

After all, Perez's speed in today's race is indeed a bit faster than everyone imagined. If Hamilton doesn't react after starting, he will be killed by Perez.

At that time, both the team and Qin Miao himself will be under pressure.

But if this pressure is transferred to Hamilton, then Qin Miao will have no pressure.

Qin Miao still has some experience in driving trains.

Qin Miao is somewhat famous inside and outside the paddock, and many colleagues are full of praise for Qin Miao's ability to drive a train.

On the one hand, Hamilton has to deal with Perez behind him and cannot transfer the pressure to Qin Miao. On the other hand, even if Perez is in much better condition than Hamilton, with Qin Miao as the locomotive in front of him, Perez will not be able to transfer the pressure to Qin Miao in this quarter. The carriage couldn't get off the track, so he could only stay in his third carriage.

After running behind Qin Miao for three laps, both Hamilton and Perez were depressed.

"Fuck!" Perez did not drive Team TR, but he cursed in his helmet.

There's no way, it can't be surpassed.

It was directly blocked by two Mercedes.

Even if Perez tried to save 80% of the ERS battery during these three laps, it still wouldn't work. The grip on the off-traffic line was really bad, and Perez's tires locked up immediately after pressing on it.

In addition to Perez, Hamilton is also constantly FUCK in his heart, but he is more helpless than Perez.

Because he had no time to attack Qin Miao, most of his attention was focused on dealing with Perez behind him. (End of chapter)
