How did I become an F1 driver?

Chapter 83 82: Friends

"What are you going to do next?" Qin Miao, who was brushing her hair, asked casually.

Zhou Guanyu didn't hide anything: "I'm going back to rest, and there are two F2 races tomorrow."

Qin Miao nodded: "Tomorrow I will go to the paddock to cheer for you. I hope you can achieve a good result, and it is best to bring it back with P1."

Zhou Guanyu shook his head and said: "The strength of my teammates should not be underestimated, but if I make no mistakes in the start, the possibility of P1 bringing back is not small."

"Good luck." Qin Miao reached out to Zhou Guanyu.

The other party and Qin Miao shook hands again: "Thank you, goodbye."

They didn't leave each other's contact information either. After all, the two had only trained together once, and the two sides hadn't gotten to know each other that well yet.

But after returning to the hotel room, Qin Miao still mentioned this matter to Qiumeng when she was holding Qiumeng in her arms.

After listening carefully to Qin Miao's ins and outs, Qiu Meng helped Qin Miao analyze the pros and cons of this matter.

To sum it up, without mentioning other things, there are multiple friends and multiple paths.

Moreover, the two were able to meet by chance in the gym and trained together, and they already had the basis to leave contact information with each other.

It is still necessary to keep a contact information with each other and greet each other during the New Year and holidays.

But since Qin Miao didn't leave the other party's contact information this time, forget it.

Qin Miao nodded knowingly after listening to the other party's analysis, and secretly made a note of what to do if encountering such a situation in the future.

Silent all night.

In the early morning of the next day, Qin Miao pulled out her numb arm from Qiumeng's arms with some difficulty.

After getting dressed and washing up, I went to the gym downstairs.

Originally, Qin Miao was just doing daily morning exercises, and the items were relatively simple, just jogging for 5 kilometers on the treadmill.

Unexpectedly, when Qin Miao opened the gym door again, he saw Zhou Guanyu inside again.

At this time, Zhou Guanyu was running on the treadmill wearing a pair of white wireless earphones. Judging by the amount of fine sweat beads on his head, it was obvious that he had been running for a while.

Qin Miao came to Zhou Guanyu's side again, and said hello while starting the treadmill: "Morning."

Although Zhou Guanyu was wearing earphones in his ears at this time, the volume of his music was not loud, and Qin Miao's voice was not low, so he could still hear it relatively clearly.

And after hearing the voice from his ear, Zhou Guanyu knew who was coming to him.

He nodded in response, "Morning."

After greeting each other, the two of them didn't talk any more. They are both engaged in physical fitness every day, and they both know that it is easy to get distracted when talking while running.

So after a simple greeting, Qin Miao and Zhou Guanyu just started running together silently.

After seeing Zhou Guanyu's pace, Qin Miao adjusted his treadmill to the same speed as Zhou Guanyu's.

Today's Qin Miao did not compete with Zhou Guanyu any more like yesterday. He said that it was just a morning exercise every morning, and the purpose was just to wake up his body functions.

Zhou Guanyu had to finish the run before Qin Miao, but after finishing his morning exercise, he did not choose to leave immediately. Instead, he sipped water at the exit of the gym and waited for Qin Miao to finish his morning exercise.

The two were so destined that they met twice in the gym, and they were both drivers. Zhou Guanyu felt that he could indeed exchange contact information with Qin Miao.

After Qin Miao finished his training task for today, he saw Zhou Guanyu who had been waiting for a long time at the door.

"Why haven't you prepared for the competition yet?" Qin Miao was a little surprised.

Zhou Guanyu took out his mobile phone, opened WeChat and said: "Leave a contact information, if you have anything you don't understand about racing, you can ask me."

Qin Miao took out her mobile phone without any hassle...

After adding Zhou Guanyu as a friend, Qin Miao asked casually, "It just so happens that I have a racing problem recently and I don't know how to solve it."

Zhou Guanyu put on an attitude of listening attentively. Judging from his leisurely appearance, the game time this morning should not be particularly urgent.

"You said who should I go to if I want to become a F2 driver?" Qin Miao asked very seriously.

Zhou Guanyu: ...

Zhou Guanyu's mind went down for a while, and then a big question mark popped up.

Facing Qin Miao's curious and probing eyes, he didn't know how to answer his question for a moment.

For Zhou Guanyu, this question was like pulling his ass with a small knife, which opened his eyes.

After organizing the language for a while, Zhou Guanyu said in an extremely uncertain tone: "This...it seems that it is not something that can be solved by finding someone specifically. You have to have results in F3 first, and the F2 team has drivers. Director, they will pay attention to the F3 competition. After you have a good performance in F3 and show your talent, they will contact you before the end of the F3 season. Then you can choose an F2 team And join them."

Qin Miao scratched her head and said, "But I don't have a connection to join the F3 team. Could it be that I don't have a connection to join the F2 team directly? To put it bluntly, I still have strength."

Looking at this guy in front of him, Zhou Guanyu didn't know how to evaluate him for a while.

You can call him bragging, the average F2 driver feels that the physical training is strenuous, but the other party can practice with him for two hours without complaining that he is tired.

You say he is really powerful, right? Given the reserved character of most Chinese people, who would say that he is still very powerful in front of others?

Moreover, Zhou Guanyu had never seen Qin Miao drive, and he didn't know if Qin Miao was really capable.

For a while, Zhou Guanyu was nothing if he said something, and nothing if he didn't say anything.

Seeing Zhou Guanyu's appearance of being dry-burned by himself, Qin Miao also knew that the questions he asked might be a little tricky.

So he waved his hand and said: "But it doesn't matter, after I become famous in GT3, there should be F2 teams who want to contact me."

Seeing that Qin Miao finally changed the subject, Zhou Guanyu heaved a sigh of relief without leaving a trace, and then asked curiously: "Are you a GT3 driver now?"

"That's not counting. At present, I just joined a domestic GT3 team. After the British Grand Prix, I plan to go back and buy a GT3 car for practice for a period of time. I will start the official competition after the new season starts in the next year."

"If all goes well, in two years' time we will probably compete on the same stage in F2, and maybe become teammates." Qin Miao joked.

Hearing what the other party said, Zhou Guanyu murmured in his heart. If Qin Miao was really as powerful as he said, coupled with his relatively immature face, maybe the two of them might actually have the same stage. A day of competition, but it is estimated that it will be two years later.

"Then I'll just wait for this day to come. When the time comes, I will be merciful and don't abuse you too much."

Qin Miao smiled and said nothing, but said, "Come on, I will support you in the stands."

After finishing speaking, Qin Miao patted Zhou Guanyu on the shoulder: "Let's go."

Zhou Guanyu nodded and watched Qin Miao leave.

Seeing the back of Qin Miao leaving, Zhou Guanyu smacked his mouth.

To be honest, Zhou Guanyu felt that he couldn't see through Qin Miao. It wasn't because Qin Miao's schemes were so complicated and hidden. On the contrary, Qin Miao was so easy to understand.

But this child has a free and easy temperament that is absolutely impossible for his peers, which makes Zhou Guanyu a little confused about Qin Miao's way.

When chatting with him, Zhou Guanyu also inexplicably felt that he was also affected by the other party's unruly performance, and the pressure in his heart was relieved a lot.

When Qin Miao returned to the hotel room, Qiumeng had already woken up, but at this moment she was still a little dazed, sitting on the bed in a daze.

After returning to the bathroom, he simply washed off the sweat on his body. After returning to the room, Qin Miao talked about what happened this morning.

"How do you feel getting along with Zhou Guanyu?" After speaking, Qiu Meng was afraid that what she said was too complicated for Qin Miao to understand, so she added, "Just what kind of person does he feel?"

Qin Miao thought for a while: "When it comes to pretending, he likes it very much."

Qiu Meng: ...

"Haha, just kidding. But I didn't get along with him for a long time, and I didn't observe anything."

Qiu Meng shook her head and raised her forehead: "My question, I shouldn't expect you to observe anything."

Qin Miao was not annoyed: "It's good to chat, how can you curse?"

Smiling and giving Qin Miao a blank look, Qiu Meng got up from the bed and said disgustedly: "That's enough, don't be poor, hurry up and change clothes, I have to go to the game today."

"Oh."

……

More than an hour later, the two appeared in the VIP area of ​​the paddock again.

Today, Qin Miao was the first to get the schedule of the British Grand Prix. After reading it carefully, Qin Miao knew that the F2 main race and sprint race will be held first today, and the F2 main race will start after the F1 race is over.

However, the two arrived a little early today, and there was still a long time before the start of the F2 competition, so Qin Miao went to the simulator experience area where he found someone holding the competition yesterday.

But the two of them came a bit too early today, and there were no tourists in the simulator experience area that had just opened except for a few staff members who maintained order and equipment.

Naturally, there is no way to hold any competition.

Physical exercise is a kung fu, so Qin Miao has to keep exercising.

But driving is different. After getting familiar with the map, putting it down in a short time will not affect the driver's feel too much.

And Qin Miao, who has been brushing the map proficiency intensively for half a month, really doesn't want to go through that boring and endless proficiency practice again.

Seeing that there was no competition here, Qin Miao simply asked Qiu Meng to find a simulator to sit down, and Qin Miao sat aside to guide her in driving the car.

Qiu Meng's talent in racing can only be said to be average, just at the level of a normal person.

She will step on the accelerator when going straight. After Qin Miao told her that place is the braking point, she will also step on the brake at the braking point. The difference is just a matter of timing.

However, the grasp of the wheel limit and the timing of refueling when the vehicle is in a curve state is not so clever.

But this is also normal, because ordinary people do this when they have not received professional training.

Not to mention Qiu Meng, Qin Miao actually didn't know much about this thing. When he was cornering, the coordination of the accelerator and the brake was entirely based on his own feeling.

And just relying on feeling, Qin Miao can achieve results in e-sports competitions, which makes people sigh with emotion, this damn talent.

So although Qiumeng quickly memorized all the braking points of the Silverstone track, and also knew some cornering skills, and her driving line was decent, but her lap time Just can't go up.

Racing is addictive, even if you are good at it.

And Qiu Meng also began to fall into the desire to break her own record again and again after brushing Zi twice.

Qiu Meng played for two hours at a time before it ended.

It's not that Qiumeng doesn't want to continue playing, it's mainly because the F2 race will start in half an hour.

After all, it was Zhou Guanyu's pole position debut. Qin Miao and Zhou Guanyu could be regarded as friends now. Qin Miao would definitely join in any friend's match, not to mention that there was still a layer of compatriots between the other party and himself. Relationships are in it.

"Let's go, let's go." Qiu Meng got up from the simulator with some unfinished thoughts, and Qiu Meng took Qin Miao's hand.

In this way, the two came to the stand area above the P room to wait for the start of the F2 race.

In fact, the rules of the F2 game are completely different from those of F1.

F2 only has a 45-minute practice session, a 30-minute qualifying session, a race and a sprint for the top eight in reverse order.

After all, it is the place for the major teams to select reserve drivers. There are more races and sprint races, and there are rules for starting in reverse order. These can make it easier for the driver directors of the F1 team to observe the performance of the F2 drivers on the field. Evaluate accordingly and consider whether to recruit.

Over time, F2 cars have been pushed out of the pits by engineers.

Soon, many drivers sat in rows and parked in the grid, and the engineers conducted the final inspection on the racing cars.

Five minutes later, under the signal of the console, the team members withdrew with their own equipment.

The drivers also started the engines of the F2 cars.

After all, they are the engines of racing cars, and the sound of the F2 engine is no less than that of F1 when idling, especially when there are [-] racing cars making loud noises on the track at this time, the sound is even louder.

Passing a cotton earplug that had been prepared a long time ago to Qiu Meng, who was frowning slightly because of the loud noise, Qin Miao couldn't help showing a happy smile that finally showed her careful thinking.

After taking the earplugs that Qin Miao handed over, Qiu Meng looked at Qin Miao with surprise in her eyes.

Qiu Meng really didn't expect that Qin Miao, who is usually careless and doesn't care about details, would have a careful side.

At the same time, I also felt a warmth flowing through my heart, and the tip of my heart was sweet.

And during this time, the F2 cars on the field have also started, and under the lead of pole position driver Zhou Guanyu, they started their tire warm-up lap.

After returning from the tire warm-up lap, all the cars were placed one by one, and the race was about to start.
