How did I become an F1 driver?

After thinking about this, Qin Miao frowned.

It seems that this is not impossible...

However, Qin Miao just thought about it briefly. Although there are no very clear penalties for intentionally hitting people on the track, after all, everyone comes to the track to race, not to play bumper cars.

After all, under normal circumstances, no one would deliberately hit others on the track.

Therefore, it is indeed a bit too immoral to torpedo Verstappen for the sake of his own world championship.

And even if he didn't torpedo Verstappen, Qin Miao could still get the second world championship of his career as long as he finished the race successfully in his current position. There was no need for him to do so.

Although Hamilton was somewhat unwilling at this time, he could only watch Verstappen go away as there was not enough left on the tires.

Verstappen completed a one-on-two overtaking move under the watchful eyes of the two Mercedes drivers.

In the Red Bull Racing TR, Verstappen couldn't suppress his excitement and shouted: "Let's fucking go!"

Normally, Verstappen is not a driver who would clearly express his inner excitement in the team TR. It can also be said that Verstappen's emotions are not particularly obvious.

But after overtaking Hamilton and Qin Miao on the track in today's race, Verstappen's excitement was beyond words.

In the TR team, Verstappen's track engineer also sent encouragement and blessings to Verstappen for this overtaking: "Well done Max, a beautiful overtaking."

On the other side, in the Five Star Sports studio in Shanghai, the three commentators shook their heads helplessly after seeing Verstappen complete a two-in-one, saying: "There really is no better way to do this. Verstappen's speed advantage on the soft tire is too great."

"Yes, Verstappen was indeed a little too lucky in this race."

"Of course, we also want to congratulate Verstappen. After making a desperate decision, the goddess of fate also gave Verstappen the reward he deserved for his bravery. A safety car gave Verstappen the opportunity to compete for the championship in the race." After saying this, Bing Ge also had a smile on his face: "But despite this, we still want to congratulate our Chinese driver Qin Miao. After this race, Qin Miao once again created a milestone in the history of Chinese racing! The second world champion, and the only double champion in the history of Chinese racing!"

The commentators seemed to have forgotten what had just happened and started praising Qin Miao again.

Many loyal viewers of Five Star Sports had a bad feeling after hearing the three commentators speak so directly, and many of them even started cursing directly.

Of course, we cannot blame the three commentators from Five Star Sports for being a little outspoken at this time. After all, they have been professional F1 commentators for so long, and when they saw a Chinese driver achieve such results on the track, they were so excited that they could hardly control themselves.

On the field, although Qin Miao knew that he would still win the world championship even if he finished second, the feeling of winning the world championship by finishing second was definitely not as happy as winning the world championship by finishing first.

The mood is still somewhat low.

Just when Qin Miao was feeling depressed, he suddenly discovered that Hamilton had been following him for more than half a lap, and he was unable to get rid of him out of the DRS zone.

Qin Miao quickly felt that there was nothing wrong with his car and all its parts were functioning normally.

Qin Miao soon realized that old Hamilton actually had ideas about his position!
Treason!!

Damn, why are these guys so serious when they are on the court?

Complaints aside, Qin Miao had already lost his own race championship, so it was impossible for him to give up his second place again.

Moreover, after Qin Miao knew that his car did not have any serious problems, he guessed that the reason why Hamilton's car was so fast was that he had accumulated a lot of power when Verstappen was attacking, and his defense was all based on his DRS and blocking.

Now that its wings are hard and fully charged, it should want to try to attack me in this circle.

So Qin Miao also started his own defense.

However, Qin Miao did not feel much psychological pressure when defending Hamilton.

Verstappen was so much faster than himself in a single lap. To be honest, Qin Miao really didn't have a good solution. He could only salute and watch him go away.

But don't you know what your Hamilton's tires are like? Even if your tires are more durable than mine, as long as the time difference between us is not more than 0.7 seconds, it will be easy for me to defend you.

At the same time, just when Qin Miao decided to teach his teammate a lesson, in the Mercedes team TR, in a single-phase communication line with Hamilton, Hamilton was talking about the attack with his track engineer Bono.

"Lewis, we can give Qin Miao a team order to let you pass. This way you can get more points and catch up with Perez in front of you. We have a great chance of getting fourth place this season."

But Hamilton heard it and said without thinking: "I don't need it, and you can't give Qin Miao this team order. It's not fair."

The reason for this statement is that in the driver's standings, the points gap between Perez and Hamilton is only 23 points.

If Hamilton finishes second in today's race, the points gap between Hamilton and Perez will be narrowed to 18 points. There is a high probability that Hamilton will fight back at the next Grand Prix weekend and move up to fourth place in the standings.

The option of exchanging positions will not have any practical impact on Qin Miao and the Mercedes team.

After all, Qin Miao only needs to finish in the top 5 to lock in the world championship for the 2022 season, and in the team's overall standings, the Mercedes team's points for this grand prize over the weekend will not increase or decrease just because the two Mercedes drivers swap positions.

However, this is a win-win situation for Hamilton and the Mercedes team, and there will be no loss for Qin Miao. It can even be said that this decision has no impact at all. However, Hamilton refused.

Because Hamilton knew that if the team made such a request, Qin Miao, who knew that it was hopeless to catch up with Verstappen in front, would definitely agree to the team's request after learning about his points in the driver's standings.

In that case, I would owe Qin Miao a favor.

You should know that the hardest thing to repay in the world is favors.

Moreover, he was preparing to challenge Qin Miao next season and win the 8th world championship in his career. At this time, asking Qin Miao to give up his position to compete for the fourth place, wasn't this surrendering in advance?

Hamilton's heart would not allow him to make such a decision.

“Lewis, are you sure?”

"I'm sure I don't need it." Hamilton's answer was firm.

"Okay, we get it," Bono was somewhat helpless. After all, in his opinion, there was no problem with such a decision, but Hamilton himself disagreed.

Why do we need to ask Hamilton's opinion on this matter? You know, Hamilton is a seven-time champion. Hamilton has basically become a symbol of the Mercedes team over the years.

When you think of Hamilton, you think of the Mercedes team, and when you think of the Mercedes F1 team, you naturally think of Hamilton. Over the years, the two sides have become closely connected and inseparable.

Therefore, Hamilton's status in the Mercedes-Benz team is second only to Toto, and Qin Miao's status in the team is not as good as the old man, even though Hamilton has not achieved good results in two seasons.

At this time, the team has no power to make decisions for Hamilton.

Also because of Hamilton's refusal, this news did not reach Qin Miao's ears.

On the contrary, many viewers who watched Hamilton's first-person perspective were sincerely impressed by Hamilton's character.

【The measure of the seven-time champion】

[Is this the value of the seven-time champion? ]

[Fuck, this old man is so righteous! ]

……

Of course, what the audience couldn’t imagine was that the reason why Hamilton didn’t want to switch positions with Qin Miao was more for his own face.

A seven-time world champion, he now needs the team to give orders to his teammates to give up their positions in order to get a higher ranking in the drivers' standings.

If this gets out, where will Hamilton, the seven-time champion, put his reputation?

However, due to Hamilton's stubbornness, he tried two laps behind Qin Miao and used up all the power of his car's ERS without really launching a threatening attack on Qin Miao.

Qin Miao's defense is too solid. Although it seems full of loopholes sometimes, as long as you dare to try to seize the loophole, you will find that you have unknowingly entered the trap set by Qin Miao after you react, and you can only give up this attack.

Just when everyone thought that Qin Miao had widened the time gap with Hamilton and the drama of today's race was about to end, Perez encountered tire failure problems in the later stages of the race.

The speed began to decline.

He was soon caught up and overtaken by the two Ferrari drivers.

He was even overtaken by Alonso behind him at one point.

To be honest, Leclerc had the ability to compete for the podium in today's race, but the accident in the early stage did waste Leclerc's time too much.

However, despite this, on the eve of the end of the race, Leclerc still caught up with the leading group in front thanks to that safety car.

But that was all, because the accident at the start still caused damage to Leclerc's car, so that he caught up with his teammate Sainz and lost the chance to move forward, because Leclerc's car was not as fast as his teammate and it was difficult to overtake.

Like Hamilton, Leclerc is just trying to maintain his current ranking on the track.

It is worth mentioning that at this time, Leclerc only has a 9-point gap with Perez behind him. Although he has surpassed Perez now, the points gained in this race will not allow Leclerc to surpass Perez in the driver's standings in one fell swoop, sitting back and relaxing like Qin Miao.

So Leclerc expressed in the team TR that he hoped the team would issue a team order to let his teammate Sainz in front of him give him a position.

After all, Sainz is currently ranked sixth in the driver's standings, 38 points behind Hamilton and 86 points behind Norris.

It is basically in a place where there is no village in front and no shop behind.

Sainz's position also determines that no matter what ranking he gets in this week's Grand Prix or the upcoming final Grand Prix, it will not affect his position in the driver's standings.

So Leclerc felt there was nothing wrong with his proposal.

Unlike Hamilton, Leclerc took the initiative to make the request.

But like Hamilton, neither of them succeeded in swapping positions with their team-mates.

Because Ferrari's strategy team directly ignored Leclerc's request, as if Leclerc had never said this.

Naturally, Sainz did not give up his position.

This was the last bit of fun at the Brazilian Grand Prix.

The game has reached this point and there will be no more excitement in the later stages.

Verstappen crossed the finish line with a 4-second time advantage under the checkered system waved by Emerson Fittipaldi and won the 2022 Formula One World Grand Prix in Brazil.

Although Verstappen won the championship and celebrated warmly with the team staff in the team TR after crossing the finish line, it was obvious that a bitter taste could be heard from Verstappen's words.

He won a Grand Prix title but lost a world title.

Verstappen couldn't even remember how many times he had missed the world championship.

Qin Miao followed closely behind and crossed the finish line amid the crazy celebrations of the Mercedes team staff hanging on the guardrail.

The moment he crossed the finish line, the Brazilian fans at the scene gave Qin Miao the warmest cheers and applause, and gorgeous fireworks were set off over the Interlagos circuit.

These fireworks were set off for today's race champion: Verstappen.

It was also ignited for the 2022 world champion, Qin Miao.

"Let us congratulate Verstappen for winning the 2022 Brazilian Grand Prix." Although Fei Ge and his team are not very serious in their daily live commentary, and it sounds more like a casual chat between friends, they are professional hosts after all, so after the game, they still went through the process.

But after the process was completed, the three commentators could no longer hold back. Brother Fei even said directly: "Of course, the one we should congratulate the most today is the real protagonist of today's game - Qin Miao!"

"Let us congratulate Qin Miao for winning the 2022 Formula One Grand Prix World Championship!" (End of this chapter)
