How did I become an F1 driver?

"Hey, I'm jealous!" Qin Miao teased.

At this time, Leclerc's eyes were almost rolling to the sky, but he couldn't refute, so he could only curse in his heart.

After a few jokes and a hug with her friends, Qin Miao packed up her things.

He put the steering wheel back into the car, weighed it, then took off his helmet and wiped off the sweat.

Time quickly came to the post-race interview session. The first driver to be interviewed today was Hamilton.

The influence of the seven-time champion is still here. After Hamilton stood on the podium, Qin Miao heard the enthusiastic cheers from the audience.

But after hearing the cheers, Qin Miao laughed, leaned into Leclerc's ear and said proudly: "The audience's cheers for Lewis were not as loud as mine!"

Leclerc: ...

Are you a child? Why are you so happy about this?
Moreover, this is half of your home court, and more than half of the audience here are your compatriots. You are still the champion of the race, so it is abnormal for them to cheer you less, right?
Soon, after Hamilton's interview ended, it was Qin Miao's turn.

Qin Miao hadn't even fully appeared in the broadcast. The audience started to make noises after seeing Qin Miao, who was still whispering to Leclerc, move.

Soon some chaotic voices gathered into one wave: "Qin Miao! Qin Miao! Qin Miao! Qin Miao!"

Qin Miao couldn't even hear clearly what question the host in front of him asked him.

The host also knew that under the cheers of the audience, even if he spoke face to face, he might not be able to hear clearly what the other party was saying, so he shut up at the right time.

Seeing this, Qin Miao naturally smiled and waved to the fans at the scene. For a while, the cheers and shouts for Qin Miao became even louder.

But unlike foreign countries, where the cheers can last for half a minute or a minute, domestic car fans are still affected by the golden mean. Soon enough is enough, and the duration may be too long. Just ten seconds.

Qin Miao's interview was able to continue.

The questions that the host asked Qin Miao in this post-race interview were naturally based on Qin Miao's late pit stop today.

After all, if it hadn't been for the late pit stop and the safety car, Leclerc in front of Qin Miao and Hamilton's recovery speed this week, as well as the DRS that was not turned on during the race.

It is almost impossible for Qin Miao to surpass these two people at the Marina Bay Circuit.

So it can be said that Qin Miao's victory in this race was entirely due to that safety car.

Qin Miao could only say that it was due to his good luck and his own whim.

As for his disobedience to the team's orders during the race...

This matter is all about the result, regardless of the process.

Instead of losing money, he made a profit. This is not considered disobeying the team's order. It can only be said to be Qin Miao's burst of inspiration!

After the interview, when Qin Miao and Hamilton were in the driver's lounge after the game, Hamilton asked the question again in confusion.

When facing his teammate Qin Miao, he has nothing to hide, so he should tell the truth and explain to the other party.

After hearing this, Hamilton could only shake his head helplessly and said that you are just lucky. This kind of thing can happen to you.

But the likelihood of this happening is actually very small, not impossible.

After all, in addition to Qin Miao on the track, the two McLaren drivers also chose to pit late.

Their thoughts on the track are most likely different from Qin Miao's, but McLaren is still more inclined to let the two drivers continue to persist on the track.

Perhaps at the junction of semi-wet tires and dry tires, there will be drivers with poor skills who make mistakes because of the heating problem of dry tires.

Anyway, at the beginning of this season, due to internal turmoil within the team, McLaren's car performance was not particularly good. Originally, the number of points that the two drivers could get was very limited, and even Ricciardo might not be able to get points.

Therefore, this gamble has no loss for McLaren. After all, there is no essential difference between finishing 11th and finishing 20th, and no points will be recorded.

On the contrary, if you bet this time and win, you will make a lot of money, but if you lose, you will not lose any points, why not do it?

Even if they lose the bet, it will only look a little worse in terms of results. Based on McLaren's performance this season, they no longer care about what to explain to the board of directors. Anyway, McLaren's board of directors will not directly lay off the entire McLaren. F1 racing department.

After Qin Miao chatted with Hamilton for a while, Leclerc also came over.

After seeing the other party, Qin Miao handed Leclerc the water and towel. When Leclerc took it and started wiping his sweat, Qin Miao asked curiously: "At the beginning of the game, I was putting pressure on you from behind. Why do you feel that you are not affected by me at all?"

Leclerc paused for a moment, then smiled and said: "It's actually stressful, but your offense is still a bit too weak for me. It's not too difficult to deal with it."

"Speak humanly." Qin Miao crossed her chest.

"The Marina Bay Circuit is conducive to defense, and during the whole process, I felt that the pressure you put on me was not particularly great. I was confident that I could get rid of you at the time, so I didn't feel that you put too much pressure on me." Leclerc shrugged, looking downright dismissive.

Qin Miao clicked his tongue. It seemed that it was not that his system's skills were ineffective, but that the characteristics of the Marina Bay track limited the performance of his skills.

But it is indeed true.

Later in the game, Qin Miao felt that it was very easy to defend Hamilton behind him, but in fact, Hamilton's absolute speed after getting the W13B was about 0.1-0.15 seconds faster than Qin Miao's single lap.

Part of the reason why Qin Miao feels relaxed is because there is Leclerc attacking behind Hamilton, and on the other hand, the Marina Bay Circuit is easy to defend.

It seems that I misunderstood Leclerc. This guy didn't have special training for his offensive ability, but he can still be a good friend!
Qin Miao was satisfied.

The three chatted in the lounge for a while, and then went out to accept the cheers of the audience and receive the award. Because of the great victory of the Mercedes-Benz Racing Team on the field today, the representative sent by the Mercedes-Benz Racing Team in today's game is the team's boss, Toilet Wolf.

It can be seen that Toto is really happy today. The smile on Toto's face never faded during the entire award ceremony, and he looked very radiant.

Qin Miao and the others were already familiar with the next process.

But what surprised Qin Miao was that when the national anthem was played, in addition to the familiar songs in Qin Miao's ears, most of the fans at the scene stood up from their seats and took off their headscarves. hat, or watching silently, or singing along with the melody of the national anthem.

At this moment, Qin Miao was inexplicably moved when he saw the fans standing up in the audience.

It seems that his fighting in the F1 arena is not just for himself, but he has also created something invisibly that he may not even know about.

When the Deputy Prime Minister of Singapore handed the Singapore Grand Prix championship trophy to Qin Miao, all the fans at the scene began to build up their strength.

Qin Miao also knows how to lower his trophy, and then throw it up high amidst the cheers of all the fans at the scene. At the same time, it is as if the local organizer specially prepared it for Qin Miao. , when Qin Miao's trophy reached the highest level, huge fireworks burst out at the scene.

In short, this Singapore Grand Prix ended successfully with Qin Miao. Qin Miao won the championship, Mercedes-Benz Racing Team took home one or two, and everyone was happy.

After the award ceremony of this game ended, the competition also gave the ranking and scoring situation of this game:

The fastest lap of today's race was taken by Leclerc. Although Ferrari's speed this week was not outstanding, Leclerc did a good job in trying to overtake the driver in front when he was chasing Hamilton in front during the race.

After the game, Mercedes-Benz Racing officially surpassed Red Bull Racing in the team standings and currently leads the team standings with a 9-point advantage.

After the game, Qin Miao, Hamilton, and Toto returned to the team's P room with their respective trophies.

At this time, everyone in the Mercedes team basically put down what they were doing and waited at the entrance of the team's P room for the three people to come back with the trophy.

When Toto took the lead and came in from the back entrance of the team's P room with the trophy belonging to all the Mercedes-Benz team staff, the scene suddenly erupted in cheers.

Everyone was laughing and clapping.

Then naturally there was another celebration. After pushing cups and changing cups, all the staff of the Mercedes team gathered at the door of the team's P room. The three trophies were placed in the middle of the crowd. Qin Miao and Hamilton both held them. The brand that ranks itself stands in the middle of the crowd.

Then the scene of the Singapore Grand Prix was frozen in the smiles of all the staff of the Mercedes-Benz team.

……

After the race, Qin Miao and Hamilton, the two drivers who were on the podium, naturally needed to attend the post-race press conference.

At the press conference, the question Qin Miao was asked the most was the ownership of this season’s championship. As for Qin Miao’s choice in today’s game, in the eyes of reporters, that is already a thing of the past. Compared with that Obviously, there is no team division. Now he has regained the lead in the team standings. Qin Miao has widened the points gap between himself and Verstappen to 38 points, which is more attractive.

As long as Qin Miao wins another race championship in the later games of this season, there is a high possibility that Qin Miao will defend the title again when Mercedes-Benz does not have a very good start to the season.

At the same time, the current Mercedes team has also gained an advantage in the standings, and Hamilton's condition has also shown very obvious signs of recovery, so this season's team championship may also be defended by Mercedes.

In this regard, Qin Miao and Hamilton mostly used standard speech techniques to respond to reporters' questions.

Neither Hamilton nor Qin Miao are the types who like to talk big. Qin Miao is because of the humble nature of the Chinese people, and Hamilton is used to it.

Moreover, both of them have now shown their strength on the field and no longer need to use words to prove anything to themselves.

After the press conference, the Mercedes team started to pack their things, because next week is the Japanese Grand Prix and time is a little tight.

However, Qin Miao was not in a hurry to leave. Qin Miao had never been short of money since he came into contact with the racing profession, so he rarely participated in activities other than the commercial activities of the Mercedes-Benz team, and naturally there was none this weekend.

The reason why Qin Miao stayed in Singapore for a while was because JJ wanted to invite him and Zhou Guanyu to spend a day in Singapore together after the game.

Zhou Guanyu agreed, and also agreed for Qin Miao.

Naturally, Qin Miao couldn't refute his friend's face, and normally, Monday was indeed Qin Miao's rest time.

Originally, Qin Miao wanted to invite Guo Fan and Wu Jing out for dinner after the game.

But after Qin Miao's game ended, he climbed onto the podium. The two of them watched Qin Miao's celebration under the podium and said goodbye to Qiu Meng and left.

It can be said that everything comes in a hurry and goes in a hurry.

Monday morning.

JJ picked up Qin Miao at the hotel.

When Qin Miao got into the commercial car, in addition to JJ, she also saw Zhou Guanyu.

"Hey, you unlucky guy." Qin Miao greeted Zhou Guanyu.

This is mainly to poke fun at Zhou Guanyu's retirement from the main game.

Zhou Guanyu was really just driving normally when he retired from the race this time. The entire reason for his retirement was attributed to Russell, so Qin Miao's cry of "unlucky guy" did not mean any discrimination, it was all a joke among friends.

Zhou Guanyu didn't have much reaction after hearing this. Qin Miao, the B, likes to poke people's lungs for more than a day or two. The better the relationship with him, the more he likes to poke your lungs.

ps. I was planning to add an update today, but the network card of my computer is broken. I used a wireless network card to get online, so there is no update to add today. I will reinstall the system later and see if it works. If it works, I will do it tomorrow. Start adding more updates. If it's not done right, I'll go downstairs and take it to a computer repair shop for a look. If it doesn't work, I'll replace the motherboard and memory modules and upgrade to DDR5. (End of chapter)
