How did I become an F1 driver?

After putting down the walkie-talkie, the two drove the Ferrari from the maintenance area of ​​the track into the race.

As soon as Zhou Guanyu drove onto the track, a Tesla caught up with him, and Qin Miao came out and came behind the Tesla.

Qin Miao is an F1 racing driver and doesn't know much about electric cars. He only knows Tesla and has no concrete idea of ​​how terrible the acceleration performance of this car is.

The same goes for Zhou Guanyu.

At the beginning, the two were driving normally and sandwiched the Tesla in the middle.

At this time, both of them were thinking about overtaking this small electric car directly after finishing the warm-up lap.

Then it was T10.

After exiting the curve, Zhou Guanyu was directly overtaken by this Tesla on the straight road.

You know, at that time, Zhou Guanyu started accelerating at the normal limit time after coming out of the corner in order to warm up the tires.

After all, it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for a mid-range driver to encounter a chance to fight with an F1 world champion. The key is that this guy is willing to teach you moves, so Zhou Guanyu naturally gave his % concentration.

He naturally wants to get the best out of his tyres.

Then Zhou Guanyu and Qin Miao watched helplessly as the Ferrari 488 was outpaced by the Tesla in acceleration on the straight road.

"Qin Miao, did you see that? He fucking...blew me up..." Zhou Guanyu's voice was filled with disbelief and surprise.

Qin Miao couldn't believe what he saw for a moment, but after a moment's pause he said, "This is an electric car. There's no need to worry about shifting gears. You can just run. A slightly faster acceleration should be normal...right?"

"Maybe……"

To be honest, the acceleration of this electric car really made the two top track racing drivers in the world lose their emotions for a moment.

However, the movements of their hands did not change due to this sudden accident. After finishing the warm-up lap normally, the two officially started teaching.

Despite a warm-up lap, when the two arrived at T1, their tires were still not in good condition, pushing their noses into the turns and oversteer out of the turns.

Zhou Guanyu repeatedly adjusted the steering wheel of his 488GTB, and finally accelerated at full throttle after reaching T2 and T3 in a relatively extreme manner.

As for Qin Miao, after discovering that the tires of the car were particularly slippery, he did not make repeated corrections like Zhou Guanyu did, but directly chose to drift out of the corner.

After all, the 488GTB is a rear-wheel drive car, so drifting is not as difficult as with a four-wheel drive car. After understeer, the rear wheels will start to slip after a slight step on the accelerator.

Also because he was drifting out of the turn, Qin Miao's speed was much slower than Zhou Guanyu's.

However, Qin Miao achieved a higher rear wheel temperature.

After exiting the turn, Zhou Guanyu's acceleration was a gradual and linear process. After all, the temperature of his car's tires had not risen. If he accelerated too quickly, the rear wheels would easily slip.

Qin Miao increased the speed of the 488GTB to 30 kilometers per hour and then stepped on the accelerator to start accelerating, without worrying at all that the T4's steering would cause insufficient grip on his rear wheels.

Then Zhou Guanyu saw Qin Miao's acceleration behind him and started complaining on the radio: "Are you driving a track car or a rally car? Why are you drifting out of the corner?"

It is worth mentioning that as a professional F1 driver, Zhou Guanyu also knows that drifting out of a corner can effectively increase the temperature of the rear wheels of his car, thereby improving grip, and he can also step on the accelerator more unscrupulously when accelerating out of a corner.

But no one is omnipotent, not even F1 drivers.

Although drifting and track racing are both similar driving techniques and have certain similarities, Zhou Guanyu is not very good at drifting.

It’s not that Zhou Guanyu can’t drift, but he can’t drive a car that he is not so familiar with and then drift out of the distinctive T1T2T3T4 corners in the last race while maintaining his speed.

But Qin Miao did all this very easily and comfortably.

Qin Miao naturally knew his friend inside and out, so he laughed and said to him, "You are a typical example of sour grapes."

"Nmd!" After cursing, Zhou Guanyu decided not to let the bastard Qin Miao disturb his driving rhythm and started to drive at the limit.

After passing the false bend of T5, Zhou Guanyu arrived at the braking point of T6.

Because Zhou Guanyu also knew that the tire temperature of his 488GTB had not reached the optimal operating temperature, Zhou Guanyu's braking point was 40 meters earlier than the maximum braking point calculated in the warm-up lap just now.

Zhou Guanyu was also worried that he would rush out while driving.

Although his achievements in F1 cannot compare to that pervert Qin Miao, Zhou Guanyu is still a popular candidate for Ferrari's second driver.

The best new driver rated by the FIA ​​in 2022.

The only two F1 drivers in the country.

It would be so embarrassing if it was revealed that I had a car accident while driving a 488GTB.

Qin Miao didn't have so many concerns. With the help of system skills, he knew the weight of this 488GTB as soon as he got in the car.

Therefore, the braking point chosen by Qin Miao was nearly 60 meters later than Zhou Guanyu's braking point.

But Qin Miao had not yet rushed out, and he hit the center of the T6 curve in an extreme way.

After Zhou Guanyu turned the corner, he kept looking at his rearview mirror. After seeing Qin Miao coming out of the corner, Zhou Guanyu inexplicably felt a toothache.

How dare this guy? He is really not afraid of rushing out!
Just in this one bend, the time gap between Qin Miao and Zhou Guanyu, which was originally close to two seconds, was shortened by Qin Miao by 0.2 seconds.

You have to know that for a normal sports car, the lap time difference will not be shortened as quickly as that of an F1 car.

Because this type of car is slower than F1, for F1 drivers, a slower car means easier operation, and therefore a lower upper limit.

This is also the reason why Zhou Guanyu was bold enough to drive the 488 to compete with Qin Miao on the track.

On the one hand, Zhou Guanyu was not worried that he could not control the car. On the other hand, he felt that his and Qin Miao's upper limits were limited to the same level, and he still had a chance to defeat Qin Miao.

Then Zhou Guanyu was taught a lesson by Qin Miao why he was a two-time champion and not Leclerc or Verstappen Hamilton.

But after all, they are here for fun, and it is impossible for Qin Miao to kill Zhou Guanyu directly. Moreover, without DRS, it is indeed more difficult for a normal sports car to overtake.

In addition, after running a few laps, Zhou Guanyu also became generally familiar with the operating procedures of the 488GTB and tested the operating limits of his car.

Qin Miao and Zhou Guanyu had an easy time in the later stages, but because of the horsepower limitation of his 488GTB, even though Zhou Guanyu was breaking the wind in front of Qin Miao on the straight, he could absorb Zhou Guanyu's wake, but he could not find an opportunity to pull away and try to attack Zhou Guanyu to overtake.

Even if he succeeded, he could only try to attack from the outside under Zhou Guanyu's defense.

But Zhou Guanyu always manages to find the right position for Qin Miao.

After all, this is not a real competition, and Qin Miao also enjoys this feeling, so he will give up the attack when he feels that he can't overtake.

In this way, attacking and defending, and constantly testing each other, the two of them ran around the race for almost 12 laps.

During these 12 circles, the number of communications between the two people decreased significantly, and the main communications were related to what they were doing at the time.

For example:

Zhou Guanyu: "Where was the braking point you were looking for just now?"

Qin Miao: "160 meters, I felt the brakes were a bit overheated, and I braked 10 meters late."

Zhou Guanyu: "Okay."

……

Qin Miao: "What was your tail speed on the long straight just now? It's like I sucked in the tail current or not."

Zhou Guanyu: "Around 301, it's so comfortable to run on this long straight road in the race!"

……

Of course, Qin Miao finally defended his honor as a two-time world champion.

After having enough fun, on the 13th lap, when the brakes and tires of both drivers began to show signs of thermal degradation, Qin Miao knew that since there was a horsepower difference between his car and Zhou Guanyu's, it would be unlikely for him to attack Zhou Guanyu at the end of the straight by braking late, so he could only attack Zhou Guanyu when entering and exiting the corners.

Qin Miao finally attacked Zhou Guanyu at the T7 and T8 turns.

And he also seized a mistake made by Zhou Guanyu.

At T6, Zhou Guanyu pushed his head a bit when entering the corner, and did not eat enough of the curb at the center of the corner, which affected his exit speed to a certain extent.

Therefore, after turning, Qin Miao followed behind Zhou Guanyu, with the front of his car almost touching the back of Zhou Guanyu's car.

Then when exiting the T6 turn and arriving at T7, Qin Miao first swayed towards the outside line.

Zhou Guanyu was not shaken, and then Qin Miao changed lanes for the second time and swayed to the inside again. This time Zhou Guanyu was shaken and changed lanes to the inside, slightly leaving the best entry and exit lines.

Then Qin Miao seized this fleeting opportunity and shot from the outside at Zhou Guanyu's line.

T7 is a left turn. Qin Miao on the outside had basically used up all the experience he had accumulated from Zhou Guanyu's mistake when exiting the turn.

Despite this, Qin Miao still followed Zhou Guanyu and was not completely left behind by Zhou Guanyu. He still occupied a place behind Zhou Guanyu.

Then the two came to T8, which was Qin Miao's advantageous area because T8 was a right turn.

Qin Miao moved from the outside to the inside.

This doesn't require much technical knowledge. Just drive normally and then start squeezing Zhou Guanyu's best cornering line.

Originally, Zhou Guanyu had a hard time taking the best route because his tires were not warm enough and had poor grip.

Now that Qin Miao had squeezed him, he had to slow down again on the route that he could have taken normally.

In fact, after reaching T9, Qin Miao became an outside player again, but before the braking point of T9, Qin Miao had completely surpassed Zhou Guanyu.

Looking at the round taillights of the 488GTB that appeared in front of him, Zhou Guanyu immediately released the accelerator.

Although due to the team's R&D capabilities and financial resources, Zhou Guanyu did not fight with Qin Miao on the track.

However, countless simulator exercises and racing game torture, as well as the gloomy expressions of other top F1 drivers after the races, and all kinds of overwhelming newspaper reports, have left a mental imprint in the minds of all F1 drivers that Qin Miao's defensive ability is invincible.

At least so far, no one has been able to break through Qin Miao's defense.

Unless your car's single lap speed is one second faster than Qin Miao's, once you get behind him, you won't be able to move forward.

"I've defended for 12 laps, it's worth it!" After overtaking Zhou Guanyu, Zhou Guanyu said on the intercom.

Qin Miao also breathed a sigh of relief after overtaking Zhou Guanyu in the corner, because the brakes of the 488GTB he was driving had also experienced thermal degradation due to long-term driving. After running another five or six laps, the efficiency of the brakes would drop significantly.

At this point, some people will be curious, why a sports car like the 488GTB, which can even be said to be a sports car specially designed for racing, can't brake after running a dozen laps?
Ferrari's workmanship and craftsmanship are just like this.

This is where you misunderstand the method.

The brakes and tires of the 488GTB are actually quite suitable for racing. It can even be said that the design of the 488GTB is prepared and designed for racing.

But the people at Ferrari didn't expect that someone would drive the 488GTB on an F1-level track like this, and the drivers were two of the world's top F1 drivers, driving at the limit and fighting throughout the whole process.

This is completely pushing the brakes and tires of this car to the limit.

Under such extreme conditions, it can last 13 laps, and the brakes and tires are still working properly, but they will further deteriorate due to heat if it continues to run.

Such performance is worthy of the Ferrari brand.

This is the extreme driving range of 70 kilometers.

After running, Qin Miao also began to slow down, picked up the walkie-talkie and asked, "How do you feel?"

Zhou Guanyu was silent for a while before a voice came over: "When I was running just now, I didn't feel anything extra, I just felt the pressure was too fucking great, you were following me like a monster, but now I come to my senses, what the hell did you guys eat to grow up? Why are you so good at driving? My confidence is a little hit."

After hearing Zhou Guanyu's doubts, Qin Miao smiled bitterly.

Zhou Guanyu is not the first person to ask Qin Miao this kind of question, and he will definitely not be the last.

Qin Miao could only helplessly say: "I can't explain this to you. As for the shock? I believe you will recover soon."

"Forget it, forget it. Let's take a break and continue."

"Okay, let's not fight this time. Let's see the lap time?"

"it is good."

Soon, the two returned to the P room of the previous race, ready to add gas and change a set of brakes.

Zhou Guanyu prepared three sets of brakes for each car for use at this time.

After parking the car in the maintenance area of ​​the race, Qin Miao and Zhou Guanyu both put their helmets in the car, and got out of the car wearing thermal earmuffs, sunglasses, masks and hats.

The two of them covered their faces tightly.

In fact, the two of them had to do so. When they were outside the track, wearing sunglasses would greatly reduce the possibility of them being recognized.

But on a track with a lot of fans, if the two dared to wear only sunglasses, basically four out of five tourists on the scene could easily recognize Qin Miao and Zhou Guanyu.

By then, they will be in big trouble. They won't be able to get out of the track unless they get hurt.

The two do have a great influence in the domestic racing circle.

Fortunately, it is winter now. The two of them are dressed a little out of place compared to the people around them, but combined with the relatively damp and cold temperature in Shanghai, it does not feel too abrupt.

After taking a quick look, he would look away.

After getting off the car, Zhou Guanyu and Qin Miao went to find someone to deal with the two Ferraris, while Qin Miao went to the toilet.

After coming back, the two rested for a while, then gathered together and leaned on the guardrail beside the track to comment on the cars speeding past.

You know what, when these two people were commenting on each other, they looked like two uneducated playboys talking nonsense to girls walking on the street.

But given the identities and knowledge of these two people, most of their comments on these cars have their own basis and reasons.

After the parts of the car were replaced, Qin Miao and Zhou Guanyu went on the track and ran two more rounds. After they had basically used up all the six sets of brakes prepared by Zhou Guanyu, the two left the race with satisfaction.

However, before leaving, Qin Miao playfully took a photo with Zhou Guanyu in the P room of the previous race, wearing camouflage gear on their faces and the two Ferrari 488GTBs.

However, Qin Miao did not send it out immediately. After all, he and Zhou Guanyu were still in the race. If he sent it out at this time, if there were really fans who were in the race and were more serious, they would catch him and Zhou Guanyu directly, which would not be fun.

So Qin Miao returned the car to the rental company, declined the invitation from the boss of the rental company, and then returned to Zhou Guanyu's house before sending it out.

Then, not long after Qin Miao posted this Weibo, many car fans who knew that Qin Miao had recently gone to Shanghai and lived in Shanghai were completely shocked.

[Ah? Qin Miao is competing in the last round? ]

[Fuck! I live right next to the Shanghai Stock Exchange! I feel like I missed out on 100 million!]

[The above, are you as miserable as me? I was at the competition today, and I also saw Qin Miao and Zhou Guanyu, but they covered themselves so tightly that I didn’t recognize them at all]

[Damn it, Qin Miao went to the race track secretly without bringing his brothers to play! ]

[What a fool! He went to the racetrack secretly by himself, didn’t he? ]

[I saw these two Ferraris fighting in the last race, and I thought they had good skills. Who the hell could have imagined that Qin Miao and Zhou Guanyu were driving?]

[More than that, these two are currently known to be two of the 20 best drivers in the world.]

……

After a little bit of teasing, Qin Miao's urge to masturbate was over and he returned to Zhou Guanyu's house comfortably.

Because racing is also an extremely physically demanding sport, Qin Miao and Zhou Guanyu ran on the track for such a long time. Although the amount of exercise was not as great as that of F1 racing, it was enough to meet the exercise requirements of the two F1 drivers during their vacation.

So after returning to Zhou Guanyu's house, Qin Miao stopped training.

Instead, he looked at Zhou Guanyu: "Two rounds of CSGO?"

"go!"

The two of them were having a great time again.

Originally Qiu Meng had planned an itinerary for Qin Miao after arriving in Shanghai.

However, judging from Zhou Guanyu and Qin Miao's increasing obsession with CSGO, this trip is obviously not possible.

However, Qin Miao and Zhou Guanyu did not plan to stay up all night tonight.

After all, we all know that staying up late is bad for your health, especially pulling an all-nighter.

However, both of them discovered that if they played games alone, they could still clearly realize that they still had work to complete the next day, and their self-control would make them stop immediately after playing for the specified time.

But if two people get together to play games, they really can't stop.

Because both of them will subconsciously place their hopes for self-discipline on each other.

For example, when playing games, Qin Miao saw the time and realized that he had to take a break after this game was over, but when he glanced at Zhou Guanyu, he saw that the guy was staring at the computer screen intently, and kept yelling at his teammates to give him a gun, saying that he did not perform well in the previous wave.

Seeing this, Qin Miao thought, since Zhou Guanyu isn't sleeping, then I won't sleep either and continue playing.

What Qin Miao didn't know was that before he saw Zhou Guanyu, Zhou Guanyu had already had the same psychological activities and actions as Qin Miao.

The thoughts and mentality of the two people completed a perfect closed loop at this moment.

Naturally, the time they spent playing games began to extend indefinitely, and finally they played all night long.

As for today... Qin Miao thought of a solution to avoid this infinite loop.

That is to start a live broadcast, and write the title of his live broadcast room as [Notify me and Zhou Guanyu to go to bed at 10 pm]

Then the two of them played until ten o'clock in the evening.

After 10 o'clock in the evening, someone in the barrage did remind Qin Miao and Zhou Guanyu to go to bed, but the game was not finished at that time.

Therefore, although Qin Miao and Zhou Guanyu's first subjective wish was to rest, as game players, they knew that it was a very troublesome thing if their teammates quit the game during the game.

So the two decided to take a rest after finishing this game.

Then I finished the game and lost...

Actually, this was nothing. The two of them felt a little uncomfortable for a while but it would pass.

It’s time to rest or take a normal rest.

Until after losing, the other party sent a message:
【EZ】

【Recruiting Apprentices】

……

After trying so hard for so long, they still lost the game. Coupled with the provocation from the opponent, Qin Miao and Zhou Guanyu suddenly became unwilling to admit defeat.

In addition, at this time, in addition to the comments asking the two to take a break, there were also comments just to watch the fun.

These people are posting on the barrage:

[One more time]

【The last one】

[The other side is provoking you so much, can you two tolerate it? If it were me, I would definitely not tolerate it.]

[Shouldn't we fight back? ]

【Win and then sleep】

……

Under the persuasion of many barrages and the provocation of the other party.

Qin Miao and Zhou Guanyu looked at each other. Although they didn't say anything, they could see each other's thoughts from each other's eyes. Let's play another round!

So as expected, a new round began.

And at the beginning of this round, Qin Miao and Zhou Guanyu set the rules of today's game based on the barrage in Qin Miao's live broadcast room.

"Win one and then go to sleep!" (End of this chapter)
