How did I become an F1 driver?

Although the gap between Verstappen and Qin Miao was getting slower and slower after these few laps, there was only 0.4 seconds left to leave Qin Miao behind in the five-second penalty zone.

Verstappen also breathed a sigh of relief after seeing this.

At the end of lap 65, the time gap between the two was 5.2 seconds.

Verstappen has since successfully left Qin Miao out of the DRS area behind him.

At this point he is the true champion.

Now all Verstappen needs to do is maintain his current speed and cross the finish line on the last lap.

Qin Miao, on his side, looked at the 66% ERS power of his car and the 0.2 second time difference.

He gritted his teeth.

Directly adjust the car's ERS to qualifying mode.

Although Qin Miao knew that there were unlikely to be any accidents in today's race, he was still prepared to give it a try in the last lap.

Even in order to paralyze Verstappen and the Red Bull team, Qin Miao's lap speed has been very stable in the last few laps, and the lap speed has also shown a steady downward trend.

The goal is to make Verstappen and Red Bull relax their guard, and finally try to see if I can poke their butts with an electric drill and open their eyes.

In the last lap, Qin Miao ran it as if it were a flying circle.

At this time, the director on the scene placed the time difference between Qin Miao and Verstappen right at the bottom of the screen, giving the audience on the scene the most intuitive comparison.

When Qin Miao passed the first timing section, the time gap between the two was shortened to 5 seconds.

However, as Qin Miao entered the second half of the first timing section and the first half of the second timing section, the time gap between Qin Miao and Verstappen was widened to 1 seconds.

In the DRS area of ​​the second timing section, although Qin Miao did not use DRS, he still shortened the time gap between himself and Verstappen to 5.2 seconds.

Although the Red Bull people were a little nervous at this time, they did not think that Qin Miao's set of lingering hard tires could threaten Verstappen's position on the track.

But everyone couldn't help but become nervous.

After all, the moment when the real winner of the game is decided at the last minute is the most exciting and breathtaking.

On the track, Qin Miao started to accelerate after exiting turn T12 in the last timing section.

At this time, Qin Miao's car was at least 100 kilograms lighter than when it just started, although Qin Miao was using a set of hard tires that had run nearly 39 laps.

However, with the weight reduction after fuel consumption and Qin Miao's strong tire protection ability, Qin Miao's set of hard tires still has considerable grip.

So at this time, Qin Miao took a very extreme cornering angle in T12 and completed a full-throttle exit here.

Qin Miao took this turn to the limit. If he had taken the apex a little more, he would have been bounced up by the curb; if he had taken the apex a little less, the car might have pushed its nose out when exiting the turn.

Qin Miao was turning at an extreme limit, and the right tire was in a perfect position. If he had turned a little more to the left, the left tire of the car would have pressed against the green paint outside the shoulder, which had poor grip.

If it is a little less, the cornering angle will not be extreme enough and it will not be possible to get the fastest speed.

In the next T13, Qin Miao's car was in a state where it was impossible to take the corner at full throttle. However, Qin Miao did not shift to 8th gear at this corner, but instead shifted to 7th gear, and kept his car in the off-throttle state through the corner.

After exiting the turn, shift into gear and accelerate normally.

Finally, I crossed the finish line under everyone's expectations and attention.

After Qin Miao crossed the finish line, almost everyone who cared about Qin Miao's performance in today's race immediately focused their attention on the time gap between Qin Miao and Verstappen after the race.

After seeing the number clearly, there was silence in the Mercedes team's P room at first, and then everyone jumped up from their seats as if they were bitten by a dog at the same time, and began to cheer and hug each other wildly.

In the Mercedes team's team home, in Qin Miao's lounge, Qiu Meng smiled and lifted up her daughter who had been staring at the broadcast screen the entire game and said to her, "Look, little Muchu, your dad won the championship!"

At this time, Xiao Muchu seemed to understand and laughed out loud.

Toto also had a smile on his face at this time, clapping and shaking his head.

After crossing the finish line, Qin Miao realized belatedly that he was sweating all over. You should know that Qin Miao rarely sweats during a normal competition. No matter how hot the track is, Qin Miao sweats very little.

At this moment, Qin Miao was not as worried as he was before the game was over.

There was even a moment when he didn't want to observe the race to see whether he had defeated Verstappen in the last lap.

Because in the last few turns, Qin Miao really gave his all, so whether he could get a good result next time was not important to him.

At this moment, Qin Miao felt that he should let it go. He won the race because of his awesomeness. He performed superbly in the last timing section and pushed out the full potential of the car.

But Qin Miao would not be discouraged if he did not win the championship in this race, at least he tried his best in this race.

I won’t feel sorry about it when I think about it later.

Then, just as Qin Miao entered the sage state, Franky's voice rudely interrupted Qin Miao's team TR two seconds after Qin Miao crossed the finish line: "P1! Qin Miao, we are P1! Ahhhh! You are the damn race champion, we crossed the finish line 4.992 seconds slower than Verstappen, and he has a five-second penalty! We are the champions! We are the fucking champions!"

After hearing Franky's screams, Qin Miao was stunned for a moment, and then he became alert.

Oh shit, I won!

After realizing this, Qin Miao no longer cared about being relieved or letting go. He had already thought that he had no chance of winning the championship in today's race, but suddenly received such good news. Qin Miao couldn't help but cheer in the team TR.

“Let’s fucking gooo!!!!.”

"Hahaha, Wuhu! This is really a huge surprise. Thank you everyone for giving me a powerful racing car."

"Cool!"

"Qin Miao you are fucking awesome, you are the best!"

"Hahaha! Without your help, I'd be nothing. This is all thanks to all of us. Thank you!"

……

However, some are happy while others are sad. While Qin Miao and Mercedes were overwhelmed by the sudden surprise, the entire Red Bull team seemed a little depressed.

On one side, something is lost and found again, on the other side, something is gained and lost again.

The emotions of the two team staff were completely opposite at this time. No one in the Red Bull team said a word, and Horner stared at the broadcast screen in front of him with a gloomy face.

Marco even held his forehead with his hand and began to shake his head helplessly.

At this time, Verstappen on the track, after knowing that he had missed the championship of today's race, also hit the monocoque of his car twice in a corner where the broadcast camera could not see.

"How much did Verstappen's lap time drop in the last lap?" Horner asked Verstappen's track engineer next to him at the Red Bull team's control desk.

After hearing Horner's question, the other party rubbed his temple and said: "Verstappen did not slow down this lap. His lap time has been very stable."

After saying this, he probably guessed what Horner wanted to ask, so he took the initiative to explain: "This is not Verstappen's problem. I just looked at Qin Miao's lap time chart. He was able to kill Verstappen in the last lap because his last lap was 0.7 seconds faster than his normal lap speed.

Why does Qin Miao still have such strong grip on a set of hard tires after running 39 laps? "Verstappen's track engineer scratched his hair helplessly.

"We still underestimated the enemy." Hearing this, Horner crossed his arms and looked helplessly at Marco beside him.

The old man also sighed at this time: "Next time, let Verstappen be more stable on the track. The collision with Qin Miao at the beginning of the race was indeed a bit unnecessary.

As for Perez..."

Horner took over the old man's words and said: "Perez's performance this Grand Prix weekend can only be said to be more than enough. Starting from such a position, he can catch up to fourth. We can't ask for more from him..."

Marco wanted to say something, but finally shut up.

On the track, when Qin Miao ran back to the circle after the race, the Spanish fans at the scene did not hesitate to give Qin Miao applause.

After all, although Qin Miao will replace Sainz's seat at Ferrari next season, not all Spaniards are Sainz fans, there are also Alonso and neutral fans.

In fact, these two groups are the majority among Spanish car fans.

In addition, Qin Miao's performance in today's game was really great, so everything happened naturally.

During the warm-up lap, Qin Miao did not forget to deliberately press the rubber on the road to add weight to his car.

Qin Miao finally won the championship this season and he doesn't want to be disqualified just because his car's weight doesn't meet the standard.

After returning to the maintenance area, Qin Miao parked his car just below the podium under the instructions of the FIA ​​staff on site. This is the place for champion drivers to park.

After parking the car, Qin Miao saw the Mercedes team staff looking at him expectantly from behind the guardrail in front of him.

Behind them, there was a crowd of people holding mobile phones or cameras.

After getting off the car, Qin Miao was so excited that he didn't even have time to put the steering wheel back on his racing car. After celebrating in the car, he took three or two steps to run, and then threw himself into the crowd of Mercedes-Benz team with a standard high jump posture.

Everyone has become accustomed to Qin Miao's unique way of celebration. Franky and Toto skillfully caught the balls Qin Miao threw to them.

After Qin Miao was thrown into the crowd, everyone started to celebrate together happily.

On the other side, Hamilton and Verstappen, who were behind Qin Miao's car, got off their cars almost at the same time.

When I looked up, I just saw Qin Miao jumping up and throwing himself into the crowd.

After seeing this scene, Verstappen was more envious, because he should have been the one celebrating like this.

Hamilton, however, had a very different feeling.

It’s good to be young. After a weekend of racing at a Grand Prix, any normal person would be exhausted like a dog and would want to just lie down in the car and not get out.

But Qin Miao is in trouble. After running a grand prix, he can still throw himself into the crowd full of energy.

What else can the old man say? Young people are full of energy...

After a simple celebration, Qin Miao began to pack up his things. He reinstalled the steering wheel on the racing car, weighed it, took off his helmet, wiped his sweat, and tidied up his appearance before going to be interviewed.

The person in charge of the interview today is still David Coulthard.

An old acquaintance.

After Qin Miao stood up, the other party said in disbelief: "Qin Miao, congratulations on winning the Spanish Grand Prix. It was such a dangerous race.

0.008 seconds, thousandths of a second advantage, what a magical number, you actually beat Verstappen at the last moment, all this must not be easy for you, right? "

"Of course, Verstappen is a strong opponent. No matter who plays against him, he has to try his best. Even most of the time, even if you try your best, it is still difficult to beat him on the track. He is like a ruthless driving machine." Qin Miao first praised Verstappen, and then said: "In addition to some insignificant planning, the reason I was able to beat him this time was mostly luck."

Although Qin Miao sounded humble during the interview, it fully demonstrated the modest and gentle nature of the people of this great oriental country.

But if you take a closer look, you'll find something is wrong.

It is obvious that after defeating Verstappen, Qin Miao praised Verstappen a lot. Isn't this just praising himself in a disguised way?

Verstappen is so awesome, wouldn’t I be even more awesome if I defeated Verstappen?

A slightly humble statement at the end can also better demonstrate your magnanimity.

To be honest, as time goes by, Qin Miao is becoming more and more like a veteran in the paddock.

After asking two more questions, Qin Miao's post-match interview for today's game came to an end.

I won't go into details about the award-winning process after the race. For Qin Miao, who stands on the podium almost every season, all of this is already a piece of cake.

In short, the whole process was full of glory for Qin Miao. Everyone looked at him with a smile and congratulated him on his achievement in today's game.

In the first two seasons, Qin Miao could still be said to be emotional about this process. However, as Qin Miao entered F1 for the third year, after experiencing these things repeatedly, his mentality has become relatively calm.

Maybe this is why many people say that men are animals that get bored with the old and love the new. (End of this chapter)
