How did I become an F1 driver?

To be honest, it is hard to accept the fact that Toto and the Mercedes driver have retired from the race, not to mention the current state of struggle between the two. It is very likely that both of them will retire due to an accident.

The main reason why Toto is so nervous is because the Mercedes team's budget cap has bottomed out this season, and the two of them are now using W13B. When the budget cap is bottomed out, the team has not prepared any spare parts for the W13B.

If there is a car damage on the track, or even a more serious accident, then that driver will most likely have to go back and drive the W13 for the rest of the 2022 season.

This news is extremely painful for both the driver and the team.

Once the drivers get into the car, they can do whatever they want without any worries and focus on the fight on the field and the battle for position.

But Toto can't do it. As the leader of a team, he has too many responsibilities and concerns.

Fortunately, the final result of this game did not develop in the direction that Toto did not want to see. Therefore, Toto also rarely went above and beyond to congratulate Qin Miao immediately after Qin Miao completed the finish line. .

He was indeed a little excited to see both cars coming back safe and sound.

"Haha, let's fucking go'!"

Qin Miao also cheered among the TR team.

"Thank you all very much. This car is great. You have given me a racing car that is extremely comfortable to drive. Thank you very much."

Although this race was only less than half of the race, at least Qin Miao and Hamilton got the results they wanted, right?
Especially for Qin Miao, after winning another race, he is more likely to defend the world championship this season.

"Let us congratulate Qin Miao! He won the championship of the 2022 Japanese Grand Prix!" After Qin Miao crossed the finish line, the Five-Star Sports studio was as jubilant as Qin Miao winning countless grand prix championships.

The three commentators stood up from their seats and applauded Qin Miao's performance on the field today.

"Although today's game was suspended for a long time due to heavy rain, it is undeniable that this game is still an extremely exciting game, especially in the later stages of the game, the fight between Hamilton and Qin Miao was really enjoyable to watch. ah!"

However, after seeing Qin Miao crossing the line, the three commentators from Five Star Sports explained the situation to the audience and then left work directly.

The reason why the Five Star Sports commentators were in a hurry to end the live broadcast was because the time of the Japanese Grand Prix had seriously exceeded the time limit originally stipulated by the TV station.

After all, the Japanese Grand Prix lasted for nearly four hours, and many viewers who were waiting to watch football and other sports events did not watch the game.

However, many viewers watching F1 stopped the live broadcast when they saw that the podium and post-race interviews were gone. Suddenly, these people yelled at the Five Star Sports officials.

What the hell...*%*!

……

After Toto on the other side congratulated Qin Miao, he naturally went to congratulate Hamilton. After all, Hamilton was the second winner in this game. Although it was indeed a pity not to win the championship, seven The champion's form is clearly showing signs of recovery. After giving Hamilton a few more games to get familiar with the current W13B... this season may be over...

Ahem, just kidding, in short, Hamilton will definitely regain his previous competitiveness in the later stages of the game, and at least this season he can protect Mercedes' team championship.

After the return lap, Qin Miao parked his car in the maintenance area.

After getting off the car, I naturally ran all the way to find the team members to celebrate. At this time, you should be a little more bold.

Toto and others were naturally very happy. After a season of ups and downs, the Mercedes team finally regained its competitiveness at the end of the season, and proved its strength and heritage with a one-two victory.

While Qin Miao was celebrating with the team staff, the on-site director also showed the racing tires of the two Mercedes drivers.

After such a long race, all the tread patterns on the tires of the two drivers were worn away. Now, strictly speaking, their semi-wet tires are actually a set of slick tires.

This is also why Qin Miao and Hamilton felt that the track was so slippery late in the race.

After celebrating with the team staff, Hamilton arrived belatedly.

After parking the car, Hamilton got out of the car. Qin Miao hugged the old man too much, but Qin Miao didn't say anything about the attack and defense just now. As the winner at this time, it was inappropriate for Qin Miao to say anything. And this is the second time this season that Qin Miao has won a race by stabilizing his teammate Hamilton.

Instead, the old man said: "The race was good today, especially the pressure on me. It was very strong."

Qin Miao smiled and said, "Thank you."

Afterwards, he said hello to Verstappen, who was third, and Qin Miao went to be interviewed.

After Qin Miao stood up in front of the host of the post-race interview, the Japanese fans at the scene gave Qin Miao almost fanatical cheers and applause.

Qin Miao, who was originally calm and calm, became a little confused after hearing the cheers given to him by the Japanese audience at the scene.

He was already prepared that when he was being interviewed or receiving an award, no one at the scene cheered for him, and even he was prepared that there would be people at the scene cheering for him.

But Qin Miao never imagined that the audience would treat him like this.

what happened? Didn't I provoke you on the eve of the game? I remember when I ran back to the ring, I saw many of you Japanese spectators booing me and giving me the middle finger.

Why do you start cheering and applauding me now after the game is over?

And Qin Miao remembered it correctly. After he provoked the Japanese audience, many people did feel disgusted with him.

But the Japanese know everything, and they are afraid of power but not moral.

After Qin Miao won the championship in this game, Qin Miao was strong in their eyes, not to mention that Qin Miao defeated the black Hamilton as an Asian.

In the eyes of the Japanese, this is really not too satisfying. After all, after World War II, Japan had an emperor over their heads. They would naturally be excited to see Qin Miao's performance like this.

After the game, the host naturally focused the question on the tire choices of Qin Miao and Hamilton after the red flag restart.

The questions asked were also related to this pit stop for tire changes.

After all, not everyone will go to see a practice session, and many fans are curious about why Mercedes uses semi-wet tires to start, unlike all other teams.

In fact, there is nothing to hide, it is nothing more than data obtained by chance.

Many fans of other teams know that after the restart of the race, the Mercedes team chose to use semi-wet tires to start just because the Mercedes team tested the performance of full rain tires on Friday due to Qin Miao's whim. Suddenly I felt bad all over.

After this race, all rain tires were put on the blacklist of all teams. It is estimated that no matter how heavy the rain is, they will not use full rain tires.

After the interview, Qin Miao and Hamilton naturally went to the preparation area behind the podium area above the track.

When Qin Miao sat down to rest, Hamilton came over and sat down next to Qin Miao.

"Qin Miao, I still don't understand why you accelerated so fast on the short straight between T2 and T3?" Hamilton asked while wiping his sweat.

This is also the point that Hamilton is most confused about in this game. How could Qin Miao be so fast at that time.

After Qin Miao thought about it, he realized that Hamilton was asking about that time when the opponent took his own crossing line, but he arrived first and arrived at the braking point of T3 at the same time as Hamilton.

After briefly recalling the process at that time, Qin Miao said: "At that time, I remember that before the braking point of T1, the power reserve of the racing ERS was 15%. The ERS systems of T1 and T2 recovered about 6% of the power. In that short time, Straight away, I used up about 21% of the ERS power."

After hearing Qin Miao's explanation, Hamilton's face was filled with astonishment: "Did your ERS still have so much power reserve at that time?"

Ever since Hamilton began to deal with Qin Miao's attack, the battery level of his car has never been higher than 15%.

Qin Miao nodded matter-of-factly: "Yes, I kept charging the car during the two laps when I didn't attack you at the end of the game. In fact, I was planning to save some power for use in T11 or T16, but then I thought about it. It’s not a good thing to leave yourself too many avenues of escape on the field, so I basically used all the battery in the first period.”

After hearing Qin Miao's words, Hamilton gasped.

tmdWhat kind of monster is this? Isn’t his rain fighting ability bad? Why did you suddenly become brave today? Were you always pretending before, just to make yourself sick?

My championship in the race!

Of course, Hamilton's face did not show his inner collapse.

After listening to Qin Miao's words, the old man just sighed helplessly.

Next, Verstappen also came up from downstairs. The three of them greeted each other, then tidied up their appearance, put on their Pirelli hats, and prepared to go on stage to receive the award.

The first person to reach the podium after the race was naturally Verstappen in third place.

Japan is also half of Red Bull's home field, so when Verstappen took the stage to receive the award, the Japanese fans at the scene gave Verstappen very warm applause and cheers in a dignified manner.

The second person on the podium was Hamilton.

After all, the old man has the foundation of seven championships here, so the cheers and applause for him from the Japanese team at the scene were obviously much louder than that of Verstappen.

Then there is today’s biggest winner, Qin Miao. Qin Miao came out of the backstage together with Elliott, the representative of the Mercedes team.

After Qin Miao appeared, the audience immediately gave Qin Miao the warmest cheers and applause. Qin Miao was in a good mood now, smiling and waving to the audience. After that, naturally everyone stood on the podium. After Qin Miao stood still, he took off his hat.

Soon, a melody sounded that made Qin Miao involuntarily put a smile on her face.

If the national anthem was played at other grand prix events, Qin Miao would be happy for a while at most.

But during the performance of the national anthem, Qin Miao's expression is generally quite serious.

However, during the podium stage after the game today, Qin Miao felt even more proud when listening to this familiar national anthem.

Conquered the Suzuka Circuit by myself! Let your national anthem fly on the land of Japan, and everyone must watch it honestly, no matter how unhappy you are.

In the awards ceremony after the game, awards are usually given by local officials or influential people from the competition organizer.

Today's Japanese Grand Prix is ​​no exception.

When Qin Miao accepted the trophy from a senior official in Japan whom he did not know, he saw a hint of anger in the other person's smile.

This old smile is fake!

However, Qin Miao didn't care about this. Before the other party walked away, Qin Miao raised his trophy high and pointed to the national flag around his waist with his other hand.

The smiles on the faces of many senior Japanese officials at the scene froze for a moment.

The next step is naturally the celebration.

I won’t go into details here.

Soon, as the celebratory melody slowly dissipated, the live director gave the rankings and scores of the game:

P1: Qin Miao +25
P2: Hamilton +18
P3: Verstappen +15
P4: Leclerc +13 (fastest lap)
P5: Perez +10
P6: O'Connell +8
P7: Vettel +6
P8: Zhou Guanyu +4
P9: Alonso +2
P10: Norris +1
Logically speaking, all the drivers in today's race only ran 29 laps on the track, and did not reach half of the race.

According to FIA regulations, after such a race, all drivers' scores should be halved.

But after the game was over, the FIA ​​gave all drivers full points.

All teams and drivers were at a loss for a while.

In the end, the FIA ​​explained that the point deduction rule only applies to races that were interrupted by red flags and were not subsequently restarted. However, today's race was finally restarted, so all the points were given to all drivers.

The FIA ​​is not coveting the super driver's license registration fee paid by drivers because of their points.

However, this kind of ambiguous FIA event rules is no longer the only time, and many teams and drivers are familiar with it. After all, this is the incompetent and useless FIA.

In addition, Vettel won the best driver vote from the audience in today's game.

Because Vettel encountered an accident at the beginning, he fell directly to the back of the team.

But that's it, Vettel did not give up the game, and caught up to the seventh position in the not too long process of the late game.

With such results, Vettel deserves the title of best driver.

Although Zhou Guanyu failed to defend Vettel's attack in the latter part of today's game, Zhou Guanyu, who started ninth, finally finished eighth.

This is still the end of the season, and the performance of the Arrow Racing Team has begun to clearly lag behind other teams of the same level. Zhou Guanyu's results.

The Arrow Racing Team is already very satisfied with this. When Vassell was interviewed after the game, he even praised Zhou Guanyu's performance in today's game.

Meanwhile, the overall driver standings after this race is as follows:
1: Qin Miao.333
2: Verstappen.285
3: Leclerc.229
4: Perez.216
5: Hamilton.172
6: Sainz.159
7: Norris.83
8: O'Connell.72
9: Alonso.39
10: Bottas.38
11: Vettel.26
12: Zhou Guanyu.25
13: Gasly.21
14: Ricardo.20
15: Magnussen.19
16: Tsunoda.9
17: Stroll.7
18: Mick.6
19: Albon.1
20: Russell.1
21: De Vries.1
After this game, Qin Miao's lead over Verstappen has reached 48 points.

But despite this, Verstappen may still beat Qin Miao later in the season.

After all, judging from the current speed of the two drivers' cars, Verstappen's Red Bull car is still better than Mercedes' car in terms of performance.

At the same time, Sainz's original ranking in the driver standings dropped from 5th to 6th due to his retirement on the track, while Hamilton rose to 5th.

Next is the overall team standings:

1: Mercedes: 548
2: Red Bull: 521
3: Ferrari: 408
4: Alpine: 129
5: McLaren: 107
6: Alfa Romeo: 70
7: Aston Martin: 34
8: Little Red Bull: 30
9: Haas: 25
10: Williams: 3
The points gap between Mercedes and Red Bull Racing has also been further widened due to the one-two returns of the two Mercedes drivers.

But now Red Bull still has a chance to fight back.

At the post-match press conference, after the routine questions were over, Qin Miao was naturally asked about Gasly by the reporters at the scene.

After all, the biggest topic in today's game, in addition to the Mercedes-Benz team's first and second wins, the problems Gasly encountered on the track also attracted widespread attention.

Not only Qin Miao, but Hamilton and Verstappen next to him were also asked the same question.

The three drivers easily agreed on this issue.

No matter what the reason is for the FIA, it is wrong for such a thing to happen in the place where Bianchi's accident occurred. Aren't the consequences of Bianchi's death serious enough?
The FIA ​​must give a reasonable explanation for this.

However, the FIA ​​did not give any answer on this matter within a short period of time. Instead, it fined Gasly the person involved for 20 seconds and deducted two points from his super license.

The reason given was also extremely humorous, as Gasly was speeding during a red flag.

But at that time, Gasly was all focused on the crane next to his car and did not notice the sudden red flag on the track.

Although this punishment was unjust, after the specific punishment fell on Gasly, it was not painful or itchy.

After all, after the game, Gasly finished last. Even if the FIA ​​directly fined him a century, Gasly's ranking would not change.

After the post-match press conference, Qin Miao directly expressed support for Gasly on his social media. After all, Gasly's Japanese Grand Prix was indeed a bit miserable.

And this matter is related to the driver's life safety on the track, so Qin Miao is not the only one cheering for Gasly, and it is not just Mercedes-Benz. For example, Red Bull and Ferrari are also crazily running against the FIA ​​on this matter. .

Finally, after the Japanese Grand Prix ended, the FIA ​​was forced to announce the establishment of an investigation team into a series of accidents at the Japanese Grand Prix, and this matter was slowly suppressed.

After the race, the Mercedes-Benz team naturally celebrated in Japan all night long.

The Japanese Grand Prix and the US Grand Prix are finally no longer back-to-back races, so after the Japanese Grand Prix, most of the team's staff finally have time to rest.

Many people choose to go out to relax at night. After relaxing, they are ready to take the flight back to their homes tomorrow and rest for a while before gathering in the United States.

The same was true for Qin Miao. After the celebration, he returned to China the same day.

The reason why he came back so urgently was that Qin Miao hadn't been home for a while. Now that he had some rest, Qin Miao was going to go home and take a look.

On the other hand, the contract between Qin Miao and Mengniu still has obligations that Qin Miao must fulfill.

After all, this was related to money, so Qin Miao had to go.

And on Guo Fan's side, Qin Miao's first movie has been filmed and is about to move into post-production.

Guo Fan asked Qin Miao sideways if it would be convenient for him to come back after the Japanese Grand Prix to take stills for publicity after the film production is completed.

The other party also knew that Qin Miao would only have a week of free time after the Japanese Grand Prix. It was obvious that he had been staring at Qin Miao for quite some time.

With so many things piled up in a short period of time, Qin Miao was naturally ready to go back and take care of everything.

After landing, Qin Miao saw the two girls who came to pick him up in the airport parking lot.

One is his wife and the other is his mother.

Coming to his mother with a smile, Qin Miao might have been shy to hug his parents for various reasons in the past, but after staying abroad for so long, Qin Miao is no longer the fledgling boy he was before. .

Giving his mother a big hug, Qin Miao said with a smile: "Mom, did you watch my game in Japan? Didn't you embarrass our country?"

"Awesome!" Mom looked Qin Miao up and down and then said with a smile: "Are you tired from traveling all the way? Let's go home first. The family has prepared lunch for you. By the way, Qiu Meng also prepared a surprise for you. "

Qin Miao looked at his wife with some curiosity.

Qiu Meng blinked at Qin Miao, but did not immediately answer Qin Miao's inner doubts at this time.

After all, Qin Miao is still in the public area of ​​the airport terminal. It is not guaranteed that people will come around at any time. If Qin Miao is recognized, it will not be so easy for them to leave.

So Qin Miao did not continue to have a deep conversation on this issue. After putting his luggage into the car that his mother drove over, the family went home. (End of chapter)
