How did I become an F1 driver?

As for Bottas who was eliminated.

Qin Miao didn't know what happened to the opponent, but he knew that Bottas was eliminated because Zhou Guanyu killed the opponent.

Of course, Bottas also created a slip vortex for Zhou Guanyu in the last flying lap before Zhou Guanyu advanced to Q2.

It can be said that the two drivers of the Arrow team have the best relationship within the team among all the drivers in the paddock.

At the same time, Arrow's car also confirmed a fact on the track, that is, Arrow's car is indeed particularly balanced, just as the two drivers said to the media in the interview.

At least judging from Zhou Guanyu's speed, this is indeed a racing car with no shortcomings.

Q2，秦淼第一个飞行圈的成绩就进入1分12秒，最终成绩1:12.799。

With this result, he could enter Q3 without any risk, so Qin Miao clocked out early in Q2.

There were also many unexpected situations on the track in Q2.

Perez pressed into the wet area on the track at T5 before his exit lap on the final flying lap.

In fact, this is nothing. When dry tires are pressed onto wet ground, at most the tires will cool down. After running for a while, the temperature will come back up.

But T5 where Perez is located is a U-turn with a very large angle.

As a result, Perez's car was out of control for a moment after he ran over the water.

Although Perez's car was not going fast when he was making the debut lap, he still ran off the track and onto the grass. Because Perez's car was on the grass, the grip of the car's tires dropped significantly. In desperation, Perez could only rush into the sandy ground.

Because this was the last flying lap of Q2, Red Bull did not leave enough time for Perez, and Perez's Q1 result was not as good as Qin Miao's, which could not ensure his advancement into Q3. In addition, Perez also needed to get out of the gravel and return to the track, wasting time.

So when Perez returned to the track, he had very little time left to cross the finish line and start his flying lap.

Therefore, Perez could only speed up and try to do the last flying lap. Therefore, Perez pushed forward with all his strength on the remaining track before the finish line. Finally, he crossed the finish line 2 seconds before the end of the Q3 countdown and started his second flying lap of Q2.

But at this time, because of that time when Perez ran off the track, his tire temperature, car power and tire wear were not in the best condition.

Although Perez still set a new fastest lap time in this lap, the final result was not enough for him to advance to Q3.

In the end, Perez was eliminated in Q2.

【Perez (Danger)】

【It’s so good! 】

[The countdown to Perez's move has begun]

[Perez's recent games are really humorous]

……

The nature of Perez's elimination in Q2 is fundamentally different from that of Leclerc's elimination in T3.

Leclerc was eliminated because the team was stupid, but Perez was eliminated because it was entirely Perez's own problem.

After crossing the finish line, the on-site director, who also understood the language of the camera, fixed the broadcast camera on the Red Bull team's control desk. At this time, the expressions on Horner and Marko's faces were still relatively calm.

But what they really think in their hearts is unknown.

The drivers who were eliminated in Q2 were: Perez, Hulkenberg, Zhou Guanyu, De Vries, and Tsunoda.

After a short break, Q3 begins.

There were not so many surprises on the track in Q3.

The drivers who can stably enter Q3 today are in the best condition at the moment, both in terms of personal condition and car speed.

After the first flying lap, Qin Miao came in second place, and Verstappen was naturally in first place.

Qin Miao's speed in this lap was indeed good, and he also brought out most of the performance of the car, but the RB19 was too powerful, and Qin Miao had no room to perform at all.

After a short break, the last flying circle of Q3 began.

In this last flying lap, the old man made a mistake at the last turn and lost 0.2 seconds.

Qin Miao was as stable as ever, but W14 was not used to the local environment, so he could only come in second place in the end.

The final rankings of today's qualifying round are as follows:
1: Max Verstappen 1:12.272
2: Qin Miao

3: Sainz
4: Hamilton

5: Norris
6: Gasly
7: Stroll

8: O'Connell

9: Alonso
10: Piastri
There is nothing much to say about the rankings of the top two drivers, both of them have brought out the full performance of their cars.

This was also the official prediction for their rankings before the competition started, so no one was surprised.

Sainz, who was in third place, was obviously in very good shape today.

In qualifying, I can basically refresh my own results every lap, which is one of the advantages of playing at home.

Not only do they have an advantage in mentality, but also the home drivers are likely to be particularly familiar with the local track, after all, they grew up here.

At the same time, the old man had to settle for fourth place because he lost the 0.2 second speed advantage.

If it weren't for that mistake, Hamilton would have a small chance of being ahead of Qin Miao in this qualifying race, but a high chance of being behind Qin Miao, but his ranking would still be better than his current one.

Although Gasly at the back seemed to be in sixth place, in Q3, he blocked Verstappen and Sainz who were running flying laps on the track.

Although these two obstructions did not deduct points from Gasly's super license, he was penalized six starting positions by the FIA.

He was penalized and relegated to starting at No. 12.

The reason he was penalized six places was because he blocked a driver's flying lap in the qualifying stage, which results in a three-place penalty. He blocked two people.

Zhou Guanyu also failed to seize the opportunity this time. If his qualifying result in Q2 was 0.1 second faster, he would be able to start from 11th place in tomorrow's race.

It's a pity that the Arrow car had no competitiveness at that time. Zhou Guanyu had already tried his best to achieve this result.

As for why Stroll was ahead of Alonso…

The floor of Tou Ge's car was damaged in T2 and was repaired before the last lap of Q3, and he managed to catch up with the last flying lap at his limit.

Being faster than Piastri was a pleasant surprise for Aston Martin. And Martin knew its own business. As time went on, Aston Martin's advantage had slowly declined as other teams collected more and more data and upgraded more and more parts.

After all, the Martin team's R&D capabilities are not as strong as those of Mercedes and Ferrari, and the performance of its cars has gradually become weak.

It is foreseeable that next year, or by the end of this year, Martin will become another Alfa Romeo.

I won’t go into detail about the process after the qualifying round.

After completing all his work in the paddock, Qin Miao hurried back to the hotel where he was staying.

The reason why he was so anxious was because his wife and daughter were coming over today.

Qin Miao's daughter has been born for more than two months now and she can travel far away. During this time, Qiu Meng's health has also recovered.

She was indeed feeling a little uncomfortable at home, so she brought her children to the paddock to meet some people.

In addition, Qin Miao has not seen her daughter many times since she was born, and now he misses her a lot.

Even before the qualifying round ended, Qin Miao didn't know that Qiu Meng brought Qin Muchu to see him.

It was a pleasant surprise after the qualifying round.

So after quickly completing all his work in the paddock, Qin Miao couldn't wait to return to the hotel where he was staying.

Before entering the room, Qin Miao heard laughter and talking in his room.

After pushing the door open and walking in, Qin Miao saw his wife and mother chatting together, while his daughter was lying in Qiu Meng's arms with a bottle in her arms, drinking it with relish.

"Mom, wife, why didn't you tell me you were coming?" Qin Miao said with some resentment after seeing the two people.

My mother didn't answer Qin Miao's question, but just asked with a smile: "Are you back? Are you tired from work?"

Qin Miao smiled, changed his shoes and walked towards his wife, saying, "It's not that I'm tired. I'm used to it."

After saying that, Qin Miao came to Qiu Meng and said to her, "Thank you for your hard work."

Qiu Meng also knew what Qin Miao wanted to do. She handed her daughter to Qin Miao and said, "It's only been a few months, and the ones who are really hardworking are my parents. I'm only hardworking during the time I'm pregnant with her. The rest of the time I'm enjoying myself."

Qin Miao reached out and took his daughter.

Before entering the room, Qin Miao could still hear the little guy's laughter. After entering the room, the little guy stopped laughing and looked at him blankly.

At this moment, little Muchu is much rounder than when he was just born. His little arms look like little white lotus roots and feel especially good to the touch.

When Qin Miao lifted Xiao Muchu's armpits and placed him in his arms with his palms and held his butt with his other hand, Xiao Muchu was still looking at Qin Miao.

Qin Miao didn't show any expression, just looked into Xiao Muchu's shiny black eyes.

Ten seconds later, just when Qin Miao thought that the little girl would laugh or make some other movements, the girl just burst into tears with a "wow".

This caught Qin Miao off guard, and he looked at his wife and mother at a loss, not knowing what to do.

Qin Miao was raised by his mother, so she naturally has rich experience in this aspect with children. Even though Qiu Meng herself has no experience in this area, she is now very familiar with it with the help of Qin Muchu.

Qiu Meng stood up and took the child from Qin Miao's arms, observed it for a while, then skillfully lifted up Xiao Muchu's diaper and took a look.

"It's okay, he just pooped." Qiu Meng said calmly, then took off the diaper on little Mu Qiu's butt and handed it to Qin Miao.

At this time, my mother also went to get wet wipes and new diapers.

Although Qin Miao's face was full of resistance, he still took the diaper which felt slightly warm.

Qiu Meng took the child from Qin Miao's hands, took the wet wipes and new diapers handed over by her mother, and began to handle them skillfully.

Qin Miao just stared at it for two minutes, and when Qiu Meng was about to put the child back into Qin Miao's hands, she saw that he was still holding the diaper in his hand.

"Why are you still holding that thing? It's lost!" Qiu Meng took Xiao Muchu's hand and gently hit Qin Miao on the head.

Little Muchu was also whimpering as if he was saying something.

Qin Miao then realized what was going on and threw the diaper into the trash can.

After Qin Miao had nothing in his hands, Qiu Meng handed the child to Qin Miao again.

This time, Qin Muchu didn't cry after being put into Qin Miao's hands. Instead, he looked at Qin Miao for a while as if he was doing some facial recognition.

After Xiao Muchu's facial recognition recognized that the man was her father, the little girl started laughing.

Qin Miao breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this. He was really worried that his daughter didn't recognize him. At the same time, he felt an inexplicable sense of accomplishment in making her smile, which was even more fulfilling than winning the championship in a race.

Originally, Qiu Meng and her mother thought that Qin Miao would not be able to hold Qin Muchu for too long. After all, when at home, the little guy would cry if his grandfather held him for a while.

But this time she stayed in Qin Miao's arms for a long time.

While Qin Miao was having dinner, and after dinner, when she was looking at the track data for tomorrow's race, she sat obediently on Qin Miao's lap, looking at Qin Miao's computer screen, then looking up at Qin Miao, and then playing with Qin Miao's clothes.

Just stay there, don't move, be especially well behaved.

But looking at Qin Muchu who was so honest, Qiu Meng felt a little unhappy.

"Now that I see you, you know how to act. Whenever you get tired of playing with a toy at home, you just throw it away, and then start crawling around the house, babbling, looking for a new toy."

Qin Miao, who had just finished reading all the information for tomorrow, held little Muchu in front of him and said with a smile, "What about little Muchu's two faces? Think of it on the bright side. At least when she grows up, we don't have to worry about her being cheated on."

Qiu Meng looked at Qin Miao speechlessly.

After completing all his work for the day, Qin Miao prepared to rest, after all, he still had a race to run tomorrow.

Qin Miao originally planned to sleep with Xiao Muchiu, but was rejected by Qiu Meng.

The reason is very simple. Babies are particularly easy to wake up at night, especially those who are only a few months old. You can't tell when they will start crying.

At this time, you must get up and take care of the child to see if he is hungry or has pulled his pants pocket again.

For an ordinary person, this might mean feeling a little less energetic after getting up the next day.

But if it happened to Qin Miao, it would be troublesome.

Staying up late will most likely affect Qin Miao's mental state for the second day of the competition. If he is in a bad mood, not only will his results be likely to deteriorate, but he may even encounter danger on the track.

So Qin Miao slept alone on Saturday night, and Qiu Meng and the others took Qin Muchu to another hotel room in order not to disturb Qin Miao's rest. (End of this chapter)
