How did I become an F1 driver?

Chapter 109: Chapter 107

Prema Racing has participated in three levels of formula competitions, namely F4, F3, and F2.

F4 is in charge of another person, F3 is in charge of Feeney, and F2 is in charge of Rosin himself.

The underlying meaning of Luo Xin's words is almost to let Qin Miao enter his F2 team.

Since getting to know Qin Miao, Feeney has never once hoped that Qin Miao will make mistakes, but in today's game, Feeney sincerely hopes that Qin Miao will make some mistakes during the game, so that Luo Xin by his side will give up on Qin Miao. Miao's expectation, so that I can take advantage of it.

It's just that he himself knows that this kind of thinking is completely idiotic.

Because Qin Miao's stability has always been extremely high. When driving, he does not have the jumping and aggressiveness that a child of his age should have. More often than not, he looks like an old driver who has been in the field for many years.

Rosin ignored Finny, who had a wonderful expression, and continued to stare at Qin Miao's results with great interest.

On the other side, Qin Miao did not return to room P after completing her second flying lap, but continued to complete her third flying lap on the track.

Although he had already pushed to the limit in the second lap, Qin Miao knew that even if he ran the third flying lap, there would not be much improvement. If he forced the lap time, it might even cause the vehicle to lose control.

But I can't hide my liking for racing. Qin Miao, who has been using her 488 for practice in recent months, rarely drives a formula car.

Moreover, Ferrari's Fiorano track is a track with many curves and fast roads. Qin Miao was deeply fascinated by the sense of control in the curves that was extremely sensitive compared to his own 488.

The last lap was even slower than Qin Miao's second lap, but fortunately, it was only 0.1 seconds slower.

But even Qin Miao's result was more than 2 second faster than the No.1 driver.

Back in the race, after completing his three speeding laps, Qin Miao drove the car back to the maintenance area.

Although this competition did not limit the training of qualifying and race like the F1 race, Qin Miao, who returned to the maintenance area, did not intend to modify his vehicle training.

In his feeling, this set of medium and high downforce tuning is quite suitable for running on the Fiorano track, so there is no need to modify anything.

At the end of the final qualifying session, Qin Miao's position has not changed since he completed the first flying lap until the end of the entire qualifying session.

Qin Miao's dazzling performance naturally attracted the attention of most people on the scene, including Binotto besides the two senior executives of Prema.

Looking at Qin Miao's almost crushing results, Binotto's eyes showed a hint of appreciation.

At the same time, Binotto inevitably thought of Qin Miao's contribution to the F1 team's simulator, as well as his lap times on the simulator.

Binotto wrote Qin Miao's name on a notebook in his heart.

Although it is a pity that Qin Miao is not Italian, but Qin Miao's talent, coupled with his background as a Ferrari driver student, these two points are enough for Binotto to place Qin Miao above Vettel's next replacement. If Qin Miao can enter F2 and perform well in F2, Binotto doesn't mind letting Qin Miao go for a run in an Alfa Romeo car to accumulate the driving mileage of the F1 car with a super driver's license.

Binotto, who was going to leave after finishing the qualifying match, was already aroused by Qin Miao at this time, and he decided to come over to watch Qin Miao's main match after lunch.

……

After qualifying, Qin Miao took Qiu Meng, Lu Bosi and two other technicians who came to help Qin Miao debug the car to the restaurant for dinner.

But before leaving Room P, Qiu Meng still maintained her cautiousness that did not match her age, and locked the door of Room P with a key.

Qin Miao and Lu Bosi were no longer surprised by this, but the other two technicians were greatly shocked by it.

After arriving at the restaurant, Qin Miao was a little puzzled, because unlike normal restaurants where tables of different sizes are arranged according to the number of guests, the tables in this restaurant are long tables that are common in European court banquets. The one at the end can seat one person, and the two rows in the middle can also seat many people.

After the five people found a place to put their things at random, and got up to get food, a middle-aged man in a suit sat beside Qin Miao with a plate full of food.

Before Qin Miao reminded him that this seat was already occupied, the other party directly extended his hand to Qin Miao and said, "Hello Qin Miao, I am Rich, the team leader of the Trident team. Located in Milan, Italy, not too far from Maranello, the main events involved are F2 and F3, if you are interested, you can visit our team headquarters at any time.”

Faced with the other party's politely extended hand and warm words, Qin Miao couldn't express what someone had done here, so she could only stand up and shake hands with the other party, and said, "Hello, Mr. Rich. , nice to meet you."

Not far away, they were holding a plate and preparing to come to Qin Miao's side to talk to Qin Miao. Luo Xin and Fei Ni, who had gotten acquainted with each other, happened to see this scene, and they felt their fists harden for a while.

Damn chicken has a beard!

After all, they all lived in F2. Luo Xin squinted slightly to see clearly the appearance of the bastard who was chatting with Qin Miao, and recognized the identity of the other party.

After confirming who the other party was, Rosin felt his blood pressure rise.

Don't talk about Wude, come to cheat!Let's sneak attack!
But at the moment, they just disdain Rich's behavior of taking advantage of others, and they are not worried that Qin Miao will turn around and join Rich's Trident team just because of Rich's few words.

"I saw your qualifying screen just now, and I have to say, I haven't seen such an aura driver like you for many years, and I think your future is limitless." Rich said with sincerity on his face: "And The F2 division of our Trident team happens to have a driver position vacant next year. I think a talent like you needs a good stage like our Trident team to show your talent to the world. Our team has Mercedes-Benz and Ferrari. Haas has a good relationship, and you don’t have to worry about not having an olive branch from an F2 team after you graduate from F1.”

After getting in touch, Rich began to introduce his team to Qin Miao incessantly. The meaning was obvious, we are doing well here!have a future!What are you waiting for, come and join us!A better tomorrow is waiting for you.

But after hearing so much, Qin Miao just felt that the person in front of him was a little too urgent?There is still one race left in F2 this season, and don't I still miss a race?You can tell that my talent is very good without even looking at it?
"Um, Mr. Rich, how about this, let's leave a contact information, how about I give you an answer after thinking about it for a while?" Qin Miao did not miss the gatherings held by the high-level at Ferrari. It has been a little longer. I learned a lot from simple prevarication.

The meaning of Qin Miao's words is already obvious, it is the order to chase away guests.

And at this time, Qiumeng and the others also came back with trays, so although Rich still had something to say, and sincerely hoped that Qin Miao could join his team, he knew that at this moment he could not leave anything bad to Qin Miao. So I smiled and exchanged contact information with Qin Miao before getting up and leaving.

After Rich left, Qiu Meng conveniently placed the boiled chicken breast and sugar-free black tea specially prepared for Qin Miao in front of Qin Miao, and asked curiously, "Who was that person just now?"

Qin Miao looked at the food in front of her with a sad face, sighed, and then answered Qiu Meng's question: "The leader of a F2 team wants me to join their team."

"F2 team? Why are you looking for me at this time." Qiu Meng was a little surprised.

Because today's mood is quite good, after all, he won the pole position in the competition, so even though the food in front of him has been torturing Qin Miao's taste buds, he still made a joke: "Your husband, my talent, this technology, And with this good looks, would there be people who don't open their eyes and think that I can only start from F3?"

Qiu Meng rolled her pretty eyes: "Virtue..."

While the two were chatting, Rosin and Feeney also came to the long table.

Because of their location, Qin Miao didn't notice these two at the first time, but Qiu Meng, who was sitting opposite Qin Miao, saw these two people, and also because she had met Feeney when she and Qin Miao were in England, and knew that he gave Qin Miao He provided training ground support for a period of time, and to some extent he helped Qin Miao a lot.

So after seeing him, Qiu Meng kicked Qin Miao lightly as a reminder.

After seeing the two of them, Qin Miao naturally exchanged pleasantries for a while. After learning from Qin Miao that Qin Miao did not agree to Rich's invitation, the smiles on their faces became more natural.

Naturally, there was another burst of small talk during the meal.

The two of them didn't cut straight to the point like Rich did, but made friends and said that their Prema team happened to have a dinner tonight and wanted to invite Qin Miao to attend.

But Qin Miao refused because he had an appointment tonight, which was indeed the case. Qin Miao asked Zhou Guanyu to play games tonight.

The break after lunch was relatively long, and no one would bother Qin Miao during this time. Everyone knew that the upcoming game was extremely important to young people like them.

Two hours later, Qin Miao, who took a nap at home, returned to Room P. At this time, there was already a race on the track, and the roar of the engine rang through the entire track.

It is worth mentioning that since the Fiorano track was originally designed to test the performance of vehicles, there is no plan to hold racing competitions here, so the maintenance area of ​​this track is not like those of the official races. Tao is so reasonable.

If you want to stop at this track to change tires, you can save at least a third of the track.

Therefore, these three events are not allowed to stop and change tires, and they must run the entire race with a set of tires.

Facing this kind of request, young drivers who drive GT racing cars will not have too many opinions, after all, their tires are quite resistant.

However, this is a bit uncomfortable for drivers who drive F3 and F4, because their tires are all hot-melt tires, which consume quickly on the track. This regulation restricts them to use only yellow tires and tires. These two relatively hard tires are white tires.

Qin Miao decisively used yellow tires in the choice of tires. After all, Qin Miao has a passive skill that protects tires. The tires prepared by Ferrari happened to be Pirelli.

Qin Miao judged from the data obtained from his long-distance test yesterday that if he used yellow tires, he could barely run the entire race, but if he used red tires, he deliberately saved tires and used all his skills. Can't finish.

Moreover, the speed of the yellow tires is at least 0.4 seconds faster per lap than the white tires, which can be regarded as the basis for Qin Miao to complete the system tasks, so in order to surpass other drivers as much as possible during the race, Qin Miao needs this set of yellow tires. fetal.

In Qin Miao's opinion, he can increase the durability of the yellow tire by 30.00% by relying on his skills.

However, according to the data obtained by Lu Bosi and two other technicians through Qin Miao's long-distance test, Qin Miao's set of yellow tires will start to fail 10 laps before the end of the race, although it is nothing to insist on running the whole distance Problem, but the car will definitely struggle extremely when driving in the next 10 laps, and the grip loss will be extremely serious.

So when they put on this set of yellow tires, they still hesitated, and tried to dissuade Qin Miao's behavior, but Qin Miao is the driver, and this is also his race, so they just came to play as a support, facing Qin Miao's insistence, they I can only agree, and wish Qin Miao good luck from the bottom of my heart.

The F3 class of this race had to run a total of 37 laps without pit stops, and there was no such thing as the fastest lap.

After confirming the vehicle settings, filling up enough fuel for 39 laps, and getting the tires ready, Qin Miao drove his F3 car that didn't even have a driver number, but only had his name printed on the shark fin. up the track.

After the tire warm-up lap, Qin Miao parked the car at the temporary grid position.

Soon the race started, Qin Miao took the lead and rushed out, and with just one start, he widened the gap with the second place at a speed visible to the naked eye.

……

Qin Miao knew that his strength might be a little stronger than the drivers who also participated in the race with him, but he did not expect that his strength was so much stronger than them.

Only on the ninth lap, Qin Miao saw an F3 car that was about to be lapped by him at the end of the curve ahead.

Soon at the end of the ninth lap, Qin Miao overtook the slow car under the waving of the blue flag on the sidelines.

To be honest, there is really no pressure, and it feels the same as when I usually practice overtaking other people's cars in the simulator.

The follow-up race was rather boring. Qin Miao ran and found that the slow car was approaching the slow car. If the position was suitable, he would overtake it by himself.

After the 37 laps of this race, Qin Miao has passed four slow cars. You must know that there are only 3 cars participating in this F10 race, and Qin Miao alone has surpassed nearly half of them.

Qiu Meng didn't know how Qin Miao felt after passing so many people, but she knew that after Qin Miao passed so many people, many team leaders and bosses could no longer sit still.

Before the race was over, these high-ranking figures trotted down from the stands, found Qin Miao's P room, and started talking with Lu Bosi, Qin Miao's physical trainer, and Qiu Meng, Qin Miao's manager. up.

Why they are so enthusiastic about the picture naturally does not need to go into details.
