How did I become an F1 driver?

Chapter 133 Chapter 131: Leclerc (6K words, plus 1222)

Seeing what Qin Miao handed over, Qiu Meng thought it was a gift from Qin Miao's iron tree blossoming, and finally enlightened her mind.

But when she opened the package and saw the wig and cosplay clothes inside, she was speechless.

It was indeed a gift for myself, but it was for Qin Miao...

Qin Miao, who had a flattering smile all over her face, glanced at her, but Qiu Meng didn't refuse either.

But she didn't follow Qin Miao's wish right away, but pushed Qin Miao's face away and said, "It's too early now, I haven't been back for almost half a month, I have to clean up the room."

Qin Miao naturally agreed, picked up the tools and prepared to go with Qiumeng, planning to finish cleaning quickly.

But when she was taking the clothes into the room, Qiu Meng turned her head to look at Qin Miao and asked curiously, "How much did this suit cost?"

Qin Miao told the truth: "It's about 4000 including the wig accessories and the shipping cost of this suit."

Rao Qiumeng guessed from the material of the clothes that this dress would definitely not be cheap, but after hearing the price, she was still a little speechless.

Although the two of them were no longer short of money at this time, after hearing the price, Qiu Meng complained to Qin Miao: "You don't buy it every day, why do you buy such expensive things?"

After finishing speaking, he added another sentence: "This time the clothes are so expensive, you are not allowed to tear them up!"

Qin Miao touched her nose with a dry smile: "Okay, I will pay attention..."

Afterwards, Qiu Meng put the clothes into her room, turned on the air purifier, and cleaned up with Qin Miao like a young couple.

The two of Lubosi's room did not let go, but it has been almost half a year, and Lubosi is still locked up in the isolation area, but recently there seems to be news that he will be released, but is it the rumor of Qin Miao? do not know either.

But looking at Lubosi's empty room, Qin Miao suddenly came up with the idea of ​​transforming his room into a gym before Lubosi came back. In this way, after Lubosi came back, he had to go outside to find another house , It also lost the conditions to stare at your eating habits every day.

In fact, Qin Miao could go to the talent market to find some more professional physical trainers at this time. Lu Bosi, who was obviously sent by Ferrari to Qin Miao, could be dismissed with just a word from Qin Miao.

But Qin Miao was quite happy getting along with Lu Bosi during this period, and Lu Bosi was told the bad news that he had lost his job after he finally came out of the quarantine area, which was somewhat unhuman.

After cleaning, dinner, and dishes, it was only early [-]:[-] p.m. At this time, Qiumeng wanted to resist, for example, take a break and play games together.

It's just that Qin Miao obviously couldn't wait any longer, and amidst Qiumeng's exclamation, he picked up Qiumeng's slender waist and led her into the room.

Qiu Meng, who was lying on Qin Miao's back, had helplessness written all over her face.

This means that we have only been together for two years. After a few more years, we will see how arrogant you are, Qin Miao... Qiu Meng, who was carried into the room, thought to herself.

What Qin Miao bought was a set of Rem's COS costume, but it was not the maid costume in the anime, but a COS costume that was reproduced based on a figure called the crystal dress.

Qin Miao has already ordered a figure, but the figure has not been shipped yet, and now the COS suit is already available.

And to be honest, the cosplay suit that Qin Miao bought is more expensive than the main body of the figure...

After all, they are old couples, and Qiu Meng didn't hide Qin Miao's back when she changed her clothes. She just put on the clothes and put on the wig in front of Qin Miao openly.

Originally, Qiumeng's face shape is that kind of round and cute type, which is just right for the character of Rem and this suit.

It's not convenient to talk in depth about things after that, but both Qin Miao and Qiu Meng are quite satisfied.

……

The next day, Qin Miao got up refreshed and went to the gym to start exercising profusely.

Although today and tomorrow are Qin Miao's holidays, the driver's greatest capital is his physical fitness, so even if it is a holiday, Qin Miao will not let go of his training schedule.

After the training was completed, it was already 10:30 in the morning, and Qin Miao went back to the simulator at home to practice with the Ferrari simulator until noon.

This is basically Qin Miao's daily state in her holiday life.

The afternoon is the time when Qin Miao can move freely and do whatever he wants.

However, during this period of time, Qin Miao would usually use it to play games, or seek out Zhou Guanyu.

But Qin Miao only lived one day like this.

On Tuesday, normally today is still a holiday, but Qin Miao's cell phone rang after his physical training.

Lawson seemed to know Qin Miao's usual training time, and he called Qin Miao directly after he finished his physical training.

"Mr. Lawson." Qin Miao was quite respectful after answering the phone.

"Good morning, Qin Miao." Lawson's voice came from the other end of the phone: "That's right, we need you to come to Maranello tomorrow."

"Tomorrow?" Qin Miao was curious: "What is the specific reason?"

"It's not a big deal. Binotto is going to hold an internal meeting of the Ferrari F1 team tomorrow afternoon. The main content of the meeting is about last week's race and qualifying for the Ferrari team. I think you can attend such a meeting. , Knowing a little more about the internal operating mechanism of Ferrari will also benefit you in the future." Lawson explained.

Qin Miao thought for a while but didn't refuse: "Okay Mr. Lawson, I'll be there in the afternoon."

"Okay, then I'll hang up, pay attention to safety on the road..."

After putting away the phone, Qin Miao sighed helplessly.

Since signing the contract with the Ferrari F1 team, Qin Miao's daily life has become irregular. Although it is impossible to have a meeting every three days, the number of meetings that Qin Miao needs to attend has increased visibly. stand up.

Thanks to the fact that Vicenza is only an hour's drive away from Maranello, and there are few people on the European highways, it is very convenient to go back and forth, otherwise Qin Miao would have collapsed on the road.

When they got home, Qin Miao and Qiu Meng chatted about their plans for tomorrow while eating, and said they were going to go directly to Maranello in the afternoon. Qiu Meng also expressed her understanding and asked Qin Miao to bring Lawson some The sent tea leaves go.

After eating, Qin Miao went straight to Maranello without stopping.

This time Qiumeng didn't follow her because of her status as Qin Miao's agent. After Qin Miao became famous during this period, Qiumeng had to deal with calls from customers who wanted to cooperate with Qin Miao from time to time. I also have a study task. During this time, Qiu Meng has also become busy, and can no longer follow Qin Miao around the world.

After returning to her dormitory in Maranello, Qin Miao packed her luggage and went to Lawson's office with a gift.

After knocking on the door, Qin Miao opened the door and walked in after Lawson's answer came from inside.

When Lawson saw Qin Miao, he was obviously a little surprised, so he asked, "Why did you come so early? I thought you would at least arrive at night."

Qin Miao replied while closing the door: "It happened that I had nothing else to do in the afternoon, so I was going to come over to clean the room first, and then I realized that our dormitory has been cleaned by a special person."

While talking, Qin Miao also conveniently put the things on Lawson's desk and explained to Lawson who was full of doubts: "The famous Tieguanyin in our country tastes very good, and it tastes like coffee when you drink it. Just as refreshing."

Foreigners basically don't say a few words of politeness when they see someone coming in with something like in China. When they saw Qin Miao coming in with something, Lawson put on a smile on his face, didn't refuse, and accepted it readily. Next: "Thank you, I wanted to try Chinese tea a long time ago, but I never had the chance, and now you just gave me this chance."

Qin Miao shrugged: "Compared to what you paid for me, this little tea is not a big deal. The way to make tea is to pour some tea leaves into boiling water, and you can drink it in about 3 to 4 minutes."

Lawson: "I know I know, I've seen them make tea on the TV show, and the benefits of drinking tea are said on the TV show."

Seeing that Lawson really seemed to know how to make tea, Qin Miao stopped talking. Seeing that the other party accepted the gift, Qin Miao chatted with Lawson for a few more words before getting up and leaving.

After all, Qin Miao came to Lawson today mainly to give away the tea that Qiu Meng had prepared for Lawson. Now that the task was completed, she naturally left.

But before Qin Miao left, Lawson said suddenly: "By the way, Qin Miao, I suddenly remembered something."

Qin Miao turned around in doubt.

"Leclerc is also in Maranello today, and he is playing with the car on the track. If you are interested, you can also go and play. Today is the test drive meeting of our internal Ferrari drivers. You should have received the system sent an email?"

Qin Miao nodded: "I did receive the email, but didn't the email say that today is just the opening day of the Fiorano circuit, and all Ferrari drivers can go, but I haven't heard that Leclerc will also go."

In fact, Qin Miao didn't have much interest in participating in such internal activities. After all, there weren't many people Qin Miao knew there, and most of them had minor feuds with Qin Miao.

There's no point in being there alone.

But hearing that Leclerc was here today, Qin Miao became a little interested.

"He should have come to the meeting too, because he just found out that today is the track day and just went to join in the fun." Lawson explained.

Qin Miao nodded: "Okay, I'll go and have a look."

After speaking, Qin Miao turned and left Lawson's office.

Although Lawson's office is a few hundred meters away from the track, and it doesn't take 5 minutes to walk there, Qin Miao didn't go directly there, but went back to her dormitory.

And in front of his dormitory, there was a sports car covered by a silver car jacket.

This is Qin Miao's 488.

After going upstairs to get the car keys in her room, Qin Miao went downstairs to drive her own car.

Qin Miao didn't drive there to pretend to be imposing. The Ferrari team will also prepare Ferrari sports cars or supercars for the drivers during the track day.

But there are too many monks and too little meat. If you want to use the cars that Ferrari prepares for the drivers, you have to queue up.

But Qin Miao's popularity within Ferrari meant that he would not be able to get a car provided by others in such a public place. If he wanted to get off the track, he had to drive his own car.

In less than a minute, Qin Miao came to the track.

At this time, there are many cars parked in the maintenance area of ​​the Fiorano track, most of them are Ferraris, and those cars that are not Ferraris are generally scooter.

Qin Miao could also hear the racing cars speeding past the entrance of the maintenance area from time to time.

Find a place near the maintenance area to park the car.

After Qin Miao got off the car, a small commotion broke out among the crowd who saw Qin Miao.

"That's... Qin? How did he come here today?"

"Yeah, didn't he never participate in such activities before?"

"Is it because of Leclerc?"

"I don't know, maybe they want to compete with Leclerc."

"This guy seems to have won the sprint competition last week, right?"

"Yeah, from the seventh start all the way to the first place, the soft tires are still used. It is said that after Qin ran the entire sprint, his soft tires were only 39% worn."

Hearing this person's revelation, there was a sound of gasping in the crowd composed of drivers.

Although Qin Miao had a bad relationship with them and basically couldn't talk to each other, this did not prevent them from admiring Qin Miao's ability.

After all, no matter where you are, as long as you have the ability, no matter how bad your personality is, people will recognize you.

However, someone still said sourly: "It's also thanks to his strength. If an idiot dares to be so crazy, I will definitely use his sack at night."

……

Qin Miao didn't care much about those people's gossip. After parking the car, she put on a red Ferrari hat to shade the sun. After that, Qin Miao walked into the maintenance area of ​​the Fiorano track.

Qin Miao's relationship with Ferrari is very strange.

All the colleagues basically couldn't talk to Qin Miao, but Qin Miao was basically friendly to those staff, whether they were designers, technicians, or even the staff in charge of cleaning in the P room.

After coming to the maintenance area, many staff naturally greeted Qin Miao, but there was not a single driver among them.

Qin Miao didn't care either, and he didn't find Leclerc after a lap in the maintenance area. After asking, he found out that Leclerc had gone to the track to play with the car.

Because Qin Miao is currently the real hot guy in F2, how many drivers can't see their taillights when they are thrown by Qin Miao at the Red Bull Ring, so although Qin Miao's popularity as a driver in Ferrari's youth training is not very good, many people still put their own He put his eyes on Qin Miao, wanting to see who Qin Miao is, what's so special about it, that he can have such terrifying strength, and that he is so valued by the Ferrari executives.

But after careful observation, Qin Miao's appearance is basically nothing special, not even handsome. The only special thing is that he looks relatively resolute and upright. In a suspense drama, he definitely belongs to the good guy camp.

Facing so many naked and undisguised gazes, even Qin Miao was a little hard to resist.

In the end, he returned to his own car, and asked the technician who came here today to insure the drivers' cars to help him check his car, and then put a buff on his car, so Qin Miao simply drove a custom-made car. The 488 hit the track.

It is worth mentioning that Qin Miao's car is actually faster than the normal 488.

Although the weight of Qin Miao's car has increased by at least 3 kg after changing a set of GT100 aerodynamic kit (Note 1), this aerodynamic kit can make Qin Miao's car have stronger downforce and mechanical grip. Go through corners faster.

In addition, the Fiorano track is a track with many low-to-medium speed corners. Qin Miao's corner speed is naturally faster than the original 488. As for the straight-line acceleration and tail speed...

Fast corners are really fast!Who wouldn't step on the accelerator in a straight line?
After Qin Miao ran a few laps, a black Ferrari 488 pista gradually caught up with Qin Miao.

Although the two cars are both 488, the 488 pista at the back not only has more horsepower than Qin Miao's 488, but the specially designed front also has greater downforce than Qin Miao.

Of course, this refers to the data before the modification. Although the horsepower of the current Qin Miao is still not as good as that of the 488 pista behind, but after installing a whole set of aerodynamic kit, Qin Miao can beat the rear car in terms of downforce. .

Seeing the other party approaching him, he even honked the horn behind his car.

Qin Miao was certain that this guy wanted to fight him twice.

To be honest, Qin Miao was basically frying fish during this time in F2, not to mention being attacked, not even a decent attack and defense.

Qin Miao surpassing other F2 drivers on the track is as simple as eating and drinking.

Either it was a late brake and forced to overtake the inside line, or it was forced to rely on the straight tail speed brought by DRS, basically no surprises.

Now my own car is obviously different from the opponent's car, and they are good at different aspects, so I just happen to have a good time with the opponent here.

Although there is no such thing as the F1 Grand Prix, there are staff members holding cameras on the sidelines to take pictures of the situation on the field, but the location of the maintenance area also has a special GPS, which can display the specific position of the car on the track.

Many people in the maintenance area who have been paying attention to the GPS data have discovered that Qin Miao and Leclerc have got together.

"Don't tune your broken car, the show is about to begin!" Someone directly pulled his friend out of the car, pointed to the two points on the track representing Qin Miao and Leclerc, and said, "Charles and Qin, the duel between the former Ferrari youth talent and the current Ferrari youth talent."

The person who was pulled out of the car was still a little angry, but after seeing the two people on the field, he was only excited: "Fuck, it's a big scene! I bet 5 yuan that Qin can't last a lap."

The friends around him looked at him like a fool: "Do you think I'm stupid? Shire drives a 488 pista, while Qin drives a 488GT3, one is a civil supercar, the other is a special racing car, the two There is no comparison at all.”

His friend wiped the oil on his hands and laughed: "You don't understand, Qin's car looks like a 488GT3, but I heard from the people at the racing factory that Qin Miao's car is a 488GT3 A normal [-] with a GT[-] aero kit."

The man was stunned: "Is there such a thing? Didn't Ferrari not allow the car owner to modify the car without permission? Qin is committing crimes under the nose of Ferrari?"

"The key point is that Qin didn't modify it privately. He asked Ferrari's racing business department to help him modify it. To a certain extent, Qin Miao's car was modified by Ferrari..."

"Fuck, why did he put a bug in this card?" The people who heard this were taken aback.

On the field, Qin Miao began to compete with the drivers behind him.

It's just that Qin Miao couldn't hold back the smile on her face during this process. If in the anime, during this exciting driving session, there is still a wanton smile on her face, ninety-nine out of ten are big villain.

But there is no way, this is the only person Qin Miao has met in the past year who can put pressure on himself while defending, and the pressure is not small.

Can Qin Miao be unhappy to meet such a person?

The person behind Qin Miao's car was naturally Leclerc.

Today he was the same as Qin Miao, because he knew there was a meeting tomorrow, so he came over early from Monaco.

After arriving, I found out that today is Ferrari's internal track day. You can drive your own car on the Fiorano track. Ferrari will provide fuel money, tire wear and vehicle guarantee.

Leclerc, who was also idle and bored, happened to drive his own car over to try it out.

It's just that on the track, Leclerc met an old Ferrari 488 GT3 that drove slower.

He honked the horn to let the other party let him go, but he didn't expect the other party to think that honking the horn was a provocation to him, and then directly started to defend his possible offensive line.

Fiorano is a narrow track, and while it's not impossible to overtake, it's certainly difficult.

After all, the track was originally designed for Ferrari's own internal testing of vehicle performance, not for racing.

But in the face of a young man who dared to challenge himself, Leclerc didn't mind letting him know the difference in strength between F1 drivers and ordinary drivers.

After all, he could also see that the acceleration of the GT3 in front was a little slow, the top speed was also low, and the wiring was slightly pushed, but the driver's control was very good, and he was able to keep the car in a relatively stable state. middle.

To be honest, Leclerc thinks that the car in front of him may have a power problem, because a normal GT3 cannot be so slow.

So Leclerc has sufficient confidence that he can overtake this guy within a lap.

After three laps...

Leclerc followed Qin Miao's car with an absurd face. He tried to tap, and even entered wheel-to-wheel with the unpainted Ferrari 488 GT3 in front of him more than once.

But the opponent is using the characteristics of defending the inside line and the track in advance to defend himself to death. The key is that I put pressure on the opponent several times tentatively, as if I didn't see it, and my driving style is as stable as an old dog.

If you don't actually launch an attack, the opponent will follow your lane steadily, and whenever you want to attack, the opponent will always be stuck in the most critical position to block your lane.

Leclerc has to admit that he really underestimated the guy driving the 488 GT3 in front of him just now.

(Note 1: I am not sure how much a GT3 aero kit weighs. I guessed it. Please correct me if I am wrong. I will modify it as soon as possible.)
