How did I become an F1 driver?

This is not because the old man has lost his fighting spirit.

It was purely because the old man had a fight with Qin Miao when the race just started. At that time, the old man realized that with Qin Miao's defensive ability, it would be much more difficult for him to surpass the opponent on the track than he expected.

If Hamilton really fought with Qin Miao seriously, he couldn't guarantee that he would be able to surpass Qin Miao.

But what Hamilton can be sure of is that as long as he and Qin Miao get into a more intense fight, both their tires will suffer huge damage, and their positions will inevitably drop significantly.

The old man is just old, not stupid. Of course he would not do something that would make his relatives sad and his enemies happy.

Compared to the possible championship in the race, if the attack fails, there is a high probability of getting third or even fourth place.

The old man would rather choose the second one which he will get 100%.

On the one hand, it was out of rational considerations, and on the other hand, the old man was used to losing to Qin Miao in the past three seasons, and he didn't care about this time or twice.

Although it sounds a bit embarrassing, Hamilton has really become accustomed to this feeling.

In the end, the game ended with Qin Miao's leading defense, Hamilton's exquisite cooperation, and Verstappen's cursing.

The two Mercedes drivers relied on almost perfect cooperation, starting from the 45th lap when Verstappen caught up with Hamilton and continuing until the end of the race on the 52nd lap.

In fact, Verstappen did not chase the two Mercedes drivers for 7 laps.

In fact, after 5 laps, Verstappen's tires could no longer bear it. After all, Verstappen was attacking Hamilton with high intensity and did not care about the consumption of his tires at all.

Plus, although the new tire compound has optimized durability, it is just a set of soft tires after all.

So at the end of the race, Verstappen was left nearly 1.9 seconds behind the other two.

In the end, Qin Miao and Hamilton crossed the finish line one after the other, setting off a large field of brilliant fireworks.

Verstappen followed the two men with a bit of disappointment and helplessness.

After crossing the finish line, Qin Miao, who was sitting in the racing car, also breathed a sigh of relief.

Because of the tire durability issue in this race, Qin Miao was actually worried before the start that this would lead to a poor finishing position.

But fortunately, I finally completed Pole to win.

Of course, Qin Miao also knew that in addition to his superior strength, winning this game was also due to a certain amount of luck.

However, they won the championship because they had the right time, place and people.

"Well done Qin Miao, a wonderful fight and perfect defense." Franky congratulated Qin Miao in the team TR after Qin Miao crossed the finish line.

Qin Miao also smiled and replied: "Thank you, thank you to everyone in the team, and thank you to Lewis, he was the best in this race."

……

"Let us congratulate Qin Miao! Champion of the 2023 British Grand Prix!" After Qin Miao crossed the finish line and won the championship, the three commentators of Five Star Sports were naturally smiling.

"Qin Miao was really lucky today." Zhou Haoran said: "At the same time as having the home advantage, the safety car appeared at the most appropriate time."

"Luck may also be part of the home advantage."

【Congratulations to Qin Miao! 】

[After this race, there is only a 32-point gap between Qin Miao and Verstappen, but if Qin Miao works hard, he can surpass Verstappen before the summer break]

[Qin Miao's performance in today's game can only be described as: invincible]

[The fight between Qin Miao and the old man is awesome, damn, they can even hold on]

……

After thanking everyone in the team TR, Qin Miao also circled the field side by side with the old man amid the cheers of the audience, and then returned to the team P room together.

As soon as he got off the car, he found the old man and hugged him.

Qin Miao should really thank the old man for this game. Without him, Qin Miao would probably not be able to withstand Verstappen's attack.

Hamilton deserves at least half the credit for this grand prix win.

"Well done. You helped a lot several times when I thought I couldn't hold on." The old man said with a smile after hugging Qin Miao.

"It's a small matter. At a time like this, helping you is helping me." Qin Miao also said politely.

However, the old man was still a little curious and asked, "I actually have some doubts. How did you know that I couldn't withstand Verstappen's attack and came to help me defend? Logically, your vision should not have noticed the position of Verstappen's car."

Qin Miao shrugged: "Yes, I can see it, but I can only see it for a short time. As for helping you defend Verstappen, it's actually very simple."

Qin Miao explained: "I only need to take a look at the position of Verstappen's car, and I can roughly judge how he should attack you before the braking point. Then according to his possible attack methods, I can block some key positions. It's not a difficult task."

Hamilton:…

Hamilton pursed his lips and didn't say much, but just reached out and patted Qin Miao on the shoulder.

However, at this moment, the old man deeply realized why many people said that Qin Miao's defensive ability was historical.

Qin Miao’s strength is not his defensive ability, but his judgment and overall view.

And these two abilities are so powerful that it doesn't seem like an F1 driver can do them in a racing car.

Damn, does the lateral G-force of an F1 car during braking and cornering have no effect on this bastard?
What kind of monster is Qin Miao, who can maintain such good eyesight, overall awareness and calm thinking ability in such an intense driving environment?

Qin Miao didn't know at this time that the old man was complaining about him in his heart. After chatting with the old man for a few words, Qin Miao was so happy that he even shook hands and hugged Verstappen who had just got out of the car.

Qin Miao drove a DRS train on the track for the entire race today. No one would believe that there was no personal grudge or emotion involved.

After all, in the last race, when Qin Miao was driven off the track by Verstappen, everyone could see that Qin Miao was visibly unhappy. And at this time, Qin Miao took the initiative to shake hands with Verstappen. It goes without saying that Qin Miao felt relieved and relieved after disgusting Verstappen for the entire race.

Verstappen didn't show much enthusiasm either. After shaking hands with Qin Miao, he reached out and patted Qin Miao's arm to end the conversation.

After that, Qin Miao naturally rushed into the crowd of Mercedes team staff and celebrated vigorously.

After all, it was a home win, and people from the headquarters of Daimler, the parent company of Mercedes, also came to the game today.

As a home victory, with the top management watching, Toto's face was undoubtedly very bright. In fact, not only Toto, but most of the top management of the team also looked very happy.

It goes without saying that everyone will definitely receive a generous bonus after today's race. This is also the main reason why Qin Miao found that the team staff were particularly excited when celebrating.

After celebrating with Toto and the others, Qin Miao returned to his racing car.

Qin Miao was so excited after winning the championship that he even forgot to put the steering wheel back when getting out of the car.

After installing the steering wheel, taking off the helmet and completing the weigh-in, Qin Miao went to accept the post-match interview.

"Qin Miao, congratulations on winning the Silverstone Grand Prix. After this race, the gap between your points in the driver standings and Verstappen has further narrowed. There are still 12 races until the end of the second and third seasons. Do you have the confidence to catch up with your points gap and overtake Verstappen again in the remaining half of the season?"

After hearing the host's question, Qin Miao thought for a moment, then raised the microphone to thank the fans at the scene.

After receiving widespread cheers and applause from British fans, Qin Miao answered the host's question: "It is undeniable that Verstappen is a strong opponent, and Red Bull's RB19 is also an absurdly fast car. They pose a great threat to us in the standings, but anything can happen before the end of the season."

"At the same time, we also need to see the results of the work of our colleagues in the team in the second half of the season. I think the British Grand Prix is ​​just the beginning. We will have more opportunities to narrow the gap with Verstappen next."

"Okay, we also noticed that you didn't choose your usual pit stop strategy in today's race. During the race, your pit stop strategy was consistent with your teammate Hamilton, and you didn't show your signature style of getting faster as the race progressed. Can you tell me what happened?"

Qin Miao shrugged and said, "For reasons we all know, Pirelli took into account the characteristics of the Silverstone Circuit and specially changed the tire compound to a more wear-resistant one this Grand Prix weekend. But it is obvious that my original driving style is not suitable for the current Pirelli tire compound, so many of my unique tire-preserving tricks cannot be used on this set of tires. But the good news is that this set of tire compound did not affect my speed, so I had to choose a relatively conventional pit stop strategy. Fortunately, the final result satisfied us."

"We also noticed that you and Hamilton worked closely together in the later stages to block Verstappen's attack. I wonder if this was something you had practiced before the race started?"

Qin Miao thought about it and said, "I guess so."

The host waited for two seconds and saw that Qin Miao didn't want to say anything else. Then he knew that Qin Miao wanted to end the post-match interview, so he took the initiative to end it.

"Okay, thank you for coming to this interview. Finally, congratulations on winning the Silverstone Grand Prix. I wish you a pleasant weekend."

Qin Miao smiled and waved to the British fans at the scene, and then said to the host: "I am very happy to have won this race."

After finishing speaking, Qin Miao handed the microphone to Hamilton who came over for the interview, and went to the small dark room to rest, waiting for the award ceremony to begin.

I won’t go into details about the award-receiving part here, after all, Qin Miao has been on the podium too many times in his three-year professional career.

After the game, the drivers' scores and rankings are as follows:

P1: Qin Miao +25
P2: Hamilton +18
P3: Verstappen +16 (fastest lap)
P4: Norris +12
P5: Piastri +10
P6: Perez +8
P7: Alonso +6
P8: Albon +4
P9: Leclerc +2
P10: Sainz +1
There is nothing much to say about Qin Miao and the old man's performance on the track in this race. These two people had the best of time, place and people.

Under such circumstances, it is only natural for Mercedes to bring home 12 points at home.

As for Pan Zi...

Verstappen's car is fast. Compared with Hamilton and Qin Miao, Verstappen is the main contender for the championship in today's race.

However, this season the number of times drivers encounter the home curse on the track has increased significantly.

There was actually nothing wrong with Qin Miao and Hamilton's performance in Austria. They lost because of luck. However, Verstappen's situation was completely the opposite in today's race.

I can only say that sometimes you have to believe that home luck is sometimes also related to the performance of the drivers on the track.

As for the fact that Verstappen took away the points for the fastest lap, it was purely a problem of car performance. Qin Miao and Hamilton had nothing to say.

Apart from that, the most surprising thing for British car fans was McLaren.

Although McLaren's recovery had already shown signs in the qualifying round, both McLaren's fans and McLaren's own team staff were particularly happy after seeing the ranking McLaren achieved in the race.

McLaren fans are happy because the team has been silent for so many years and is finally showing signs of recovery, but the situation for McLaren employees is much simpler: if they perform well this Grand Prix weekend, the team will give out bonuses!

McLaren's upgrade and reorganization have indeed had an eye-catching and visible effect.

It is therefore certain that McLaren has also joined the competition for the points zone this season.

Apart from that, Big Brother is slowly decaying along with his Aston Martin team.

Results have been steadily declining.

Obviously, Martin's upgrade this season is a bit like Arrow's last season. After the last burst of glory, they gradually returned to where they should be.

Alonso will have to continue serving his sentence in the same jail as Vettel.

From this we can see that being the Prince's Tutor is not that easy.

As for Albon...

It has to be said that the Silverstone Circuit is indeed very suitable for muscle cars to perform.

Plus, Albon does have the ability, after all, he was a driver who was able to enter Red Bull.

Even at the Red Bull Ring he was able to compete with Hamilton, and even slightly surpassed the old man.

It was after being pushed off the track by Hamilton that his morale was broken, his performance plummeted and he was eventually defeated by Marco.

Now Albon in Williams has restored his mentality. After returning to the fairyland on land, he is also helping Williams to score points. Now he has become the new pillar of Williams.

After all, all of Williams' eight points were won with the help of Albon. (End of this chapter)
