How did I become an F1 driver?

Chapter 197 Chapter 195: The Crazy Audience
At this time, Toto had already stood up from his seat, his hands ready to go, and it was not difficult to see from the expression on his face that he was in a good mood at this time.

The last two Mercedes crossed the finish line of the Circuit de Catalunya one after the other, and the fireworks that had been arranged on both sides of the track burst out along with the cars.

These fireworks were set off not only for Hamilton, the champion of this competition, but also for Qin Miao, who took second place from Verstappen.

In this competition, Mei Ben brought back one or two, which is a complete victory.

After the two cars crossed the line, Toto raised his hands high and shouted loudly like other Mercedes staff, and then began to nod and applaud the performance of the two drivers today.

After watching Toto, the live camera came to the two Mercedes drivers.

At this time, Hamilton also slowed down the pace of his racing car, lowered the speed of the car to be side by side with Qin Miao's car, and the two started playing together.

At the same time, the two did not forget to wave their hands to greet the few spectators at the scene.

During this process, the two naturally communicated with the team engineer in the team's TR.

"Hahaha, awesome Qin Miao, well done, your performance today is really great!" Franky was not stingy with his compliments at this time.

It’s not that Frankie wouldn’t say these things before, it’s mainly because Qin Miao won the championship every day in F2, and it’s normal to win two championships in one race without any pressure. Frankie’s words of congratulations are already tired , Qin Miao was tired of hearing it too.

But F1 is obviously different. Whether it is the preparation before the game, the difficulty of the game, or the quality of the opponent, there has been a terrifying improvement.

Although the final ranking was only one place earlier than expected, Qin Miao also experienced countless difficulties and obstacles in the process, so no matter whether it was Qin Miao, Franky or Qin Miao and the staff of the team We all know that No.2 is hard-won.

"Thank you, huh, this race is really difficult and thrilling, but fortunately, we survived, thank you for preparing the car for me, it is very comfortable to drive, and the tuning is also very comfortable, thank you..."

But just after Qin Miao finished speaking, an accident suddenly occurred on the track.

Qin Miao's car had a flat tire, and the right rear wheel that had collided with Verstappen suddenly exploded with a pop.

Although there were no debris flying around, the entire hub of the right rear wheel was exposed, and the tattered tire skin was thrown back and forth by the hub.

In fact, before the tire blew out, Qin Miao felt that his right rear wheel was not in good condition.

This kind of feeling is almost what he had when he just crossed the line. At that time, Qin Miao didn't pay much attention to it. After all, the race will be over later. Even if there is any problem, it is impossible for him to return to the maintenance area.

But the fact is that Qin Miao's tires really can't last him back to the maintenance area.

Although seeing Qin Miao's tire suddenly blew out while doing the back lap, no matter it was the three domestic commentators or the staff of Mercedes, they felt a little bit in their hearts.

But after realizing that the game was over, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

And I am a little fortunate that the tire blew up after the end of the race. If it blew up two laps before the end of the race...

After thinking of this scene, everyone shivered, not daring to think...

After Qin Miao found out that she had a flat tire, she hurriedly withdrew her hand, then controlled her racing car and slowed down.

In fact, the three tires of the F1 car can also be driven. After all, Hamilton was able to win the championship in the UK after a puncture last year.

But the race was over after all. After discovering that Qin Miao's tire had a puncture, the team quickly asked: "Qin Miao, are you okay? Are there any other problems with the car?"

After stabilizing the car, Qin Miao replied: "There is no other problem, it's just that the rear wheel of the car exploded. It should be caused by the collision between me and Verstappen."

Franky said: "OK, Qin Miao, you don't need to bring the car back. Driving it back will easily damage the car's floor and rear suspension, so you should find a place to park the car now, and then come back in the safety car."

Although Mei Ben has a lot of money, the floor of an F1 car is not cheap at all. A floor starts at 80W, and there are rear suspensions. If Qin Miao is forced to drive the car back, these things may be worn out. Sometimes the loss may exceed 100W US dollars.

Regarding the team's instructions, Qin Miao was all right: "Okay, received."

Fortunately, after all, Qin Miao and Hamilton have just driven the car to T3, and the road back to the maintenance area is not too far away.

So Qin Miao parked his car on the edge of the track on the right after exiting the T3 corner amidst the yellow flag waving by Matthew at the scene.

On the one hand, this place is not the traffic lane for the car to go out of the corner. Parking here is unlikely to be hit by other cars. On the other hand, there is a Matthew entrance here. It will be more convenient for Matthew to handle his car when parking here.

However, just as Qin Miao got off the car and was about to go to the lawn of the track to pick up his car, Hamilton's car stopped in front of Qin Miao's car.

Qin Miao couldn't figure out what Hamilton wanted to do for a while, but Hamilton was parked in front of her, so Qin Miao walked over curiously.

When Qin Miao opened his helmet goggles and moved over, he heard Hamilton's somewhat vague voice: "Are you okay?"

Qin Miao replied at the top of her voice, "No problem, don't worry."

There is no way, I have to shout at the top of my voice, otherwise no one can hear what the other party is saying.

After all, the earphones of the two drivers have the function of sound insulation and noise reduction.

Otherwise, if you sit in front of the noisy F1 engine without ear protection, your ears would have been deafened.

But at this moment, Qin Miao suddenly noticed the right flank of Hamilton's racing car.

Mercedes' W12 has no side boxes, and the body as a whole looks like a beer bottle, but unfortunately, there are two huge wings on both sides of the W12 racing car, and these two wings look like a stool.

The key is that the side wings of the Mercedes-Benz racing car are still connected to the side box of the racing car, and the sturdiness is sufficiently guaranteed.

The moment he saw this thing, Qin Miao's mind recalled how countless seniors took a ride after the game.

After seeing the pictures of the seniors, Qin Miao suddenly had an immature idea in his mind.

Young people basically don't consider the consequences when they do things, so while everyone was stunned, Qin Miao supported the side of the flip-flops of the Hamilton racing car, and then sat down on the side of the Hamilton racing car.

This thing bears more than 260 kilograms of pressure when the racing car reaches 100 kilometers per hour. A 65-kg person sitting on Qin Miao has no pressure at all, and there is no risk of breaking.

After the race, the directors had nothing to show to the audience. It happened that Qin Miao's car had a puncture on the side of the track, so the director showed the camera to the two Mercedes drivers to see what they were doing. Talk about something.

According to the director's understanding, the next step was for Qin Miao and Hamilton to part ways after chatting. Qin Miao walked into the Matthew's tunnel beside the track, then took the car back to the pit area to receive the award, while Hamilton drove back.

Until Qin Miao returns by car, the director will focus on Qin Miao.

Therefore, all the spectators who were watching the game were stunned to see that Qin Miao sat down on the flank of his teammate's racing car regardless of the Matthews who were waiting for Qin Miao at the side of the Matthew Passage.

"Huh? Qin Miao? This is..." The three commentators of Five Star Sports were stunned when they saw Qin Miao's actions.

Then he stuttered and asked uncertainly: "Is this going to be a ride?"

"Impossible, you will be punished for riding a ride now."

……

But Hamilton was stunned for a moment when he realized that his right rearview mirror was completely dark. He turned his head and saw that Qin Miao was sitting on his racing car and adjusted his sitting posture.

After seeing this scene that he never dreamed of, Hamilton was stunned for two seconds, and then he was a little anxious to reach out and push Qin Miao down. Just kidding, now the FIA ​​stipulates that if you hitch a ride on the field, you will be punished. punished.

It’s okay to pay a fine. I believe that the sponsors of the Mercedes-Benz team don’t mind helping Qin Miao pay the money. If the contract doesn’t allow it, they would like to give Qin Miao some bonuses to make him do this after every race, but What the hell, after taking a free ride in F1 on the track, he will be fined and retired in the next race.

But looking at Qin Miao's appearance, he didn't know that the FIA ​​still had such a rule.

As for whether Qin Miao would not care about this rule, Hamilton did not consider it, because in his impression Qin Miao was not a person who would flout the rules.

So after ruling out the possibility of Qin Miao provoking the competition, this is the only possibility left.

But at this time, an embarrassing thing happened. Hamilton's body was fixed by the seat belt, and he couldn't reach out with his right hand, and couldn't reach Qin Miao with his left hand.

It was impossible to touch Qin Miao at all, let alone push him out.

Qin Miao couldn't hear the shouting, because the sound of the engine was too loud. Qin Miao could hear Hamilton's voice just now, purely because he leaned close to Hamilton's helmet.

While Hamilton was anxious alone, Qin Miao also sat down on the flank, grabbed the handle of the flip-flops with his left hand, stepped on the connecting rod connected to the tire with his left foot, and stepped on the bottom plate with his right foot. Needless to say, this angle is quite stable.

After fixing her body, Qin Miao stretched out her right hand and patted Hamilton's helmet to indicate that she could go.

Feeling that the helmet was slapped twice by Qin Miao, Hamilton felt helpless.

Toto's voice also came from the TR: "Tell Qin Miao to stop making trouble and get down!"

But what can Hamilton do?You can't hear me when you shout, and you can't reach it if you stretch out your hand.

Through the live broadcast, everyone could see that Hamilton's helmet was obviously tilted back, probably because he was annoyed by Qin Miao.

Seeing that Hamilton didn't move, Qin Miao thought that the other party didn't feel it, so she patted Hamilton's helmet hard again.

Feeling the vibration from the helmet, Hamilton stepped on the accelerator directly. Since you don't want to go down, there is nothing to say. Let's go. Anyway, it has nothing to do with you and me who will be punished.

And when Hamilton's car really started to move, the fans at the scene burst into cheers instantly.

It's hard to imagine that fans whose number is less than 1/10 of the usual number of fans can burst into cheers at this level. Even Qin Miao, who is wearing sound-proof headphones in the car, can hear the burst of cheers from the stands behind him .

Turning around and waving in their direction, Qin Miao found a place in the car to fix herself up again, and sat on the side panel of No. 44 W12 to start her F1 ride.

The audience at the scene went crazy after seeing this scene, and the tickets for this game that took the risk to watch were so worth it.

And if there is no accident, this may be the last free ride in F1. After all, there is no rookie driver like Qin Miao who is not afraid of a fine and insists on riding, and his teammates dare to pull people away directly.

Hamilton had just started, and the on-site director switched the camera to Matthew next to the track.

This Matthew ran out from the Matthew tunnel when Qin Miao was just sitting on the Hamilton car, obviously trying to pull Qin Miao off the car.

But when he was almost running to the side of Hamilton's racing car, Hamilton drove the car away, leaving him standing there alone watching Hamilton drive Qin Miao away in a daze.

The director happened to film this scene, and this Matthew stood beside the track, exuding an indescribable sense of desolation from his body.

Inexplicably very happy.

At this time, the director didn't want to miss the scene of Qin Miao and Hamilton.

When Qin Miao and Hamilton returned to the pit lane, the director's camera never left Qin Miao and Hamilton.

During this process, the English streaming commentary went crazy, the audience went crazy, the car fans watching the live broadcast went crazy, and the three five-star sports commentators went completely crazy.

Sometimes people are like this, they dare not break the rules themselves, but if someone breaks the rules, then they will worship this person as a god.

At this time, Qin Miao was that god.

All the people who followed the game were looking at him and sincerely applauding him.

When Qin Miao returned to the maintenance area, everyone gave Qin Miao and Hamilton applause except for the FIA ​​officials with a straight face.

Of course, there are levels of happiness. After seeing Qin Miao's outrageous operation, the happiest person is not Qin Miao's fans, nor F1 fans, but the sponsors of Qin Miao and Mei Ben.

The on-site director of this round of rounds did not show other drivers a shot, and everyone's attention was on Qin Miao and Hamilton.

The exposure of the sponsorship advertisements increased linearly, and they almost laughed crookedly.

Qin Miao and Hamilton had just parked the car, and when Qin Miao came down to find the staff of his team to celebrate, the director cut the camera to Toto.

The picture at this time was not live, but the picture of Toto when Qin Miao got on the Hamilton racing car just now.

I saw Toto was talking about something with the earphones on just now, and then as if he saw something, he stroked his forehead in some pain, then took off the earphones, and sighed helplessly.

Toto's ecstasy brought back from Mercedes-Benz [-], to Qin Miao's astonishment when a tire blew out on the track, Qin Miao's chatter with Hamilton, and then Qin Miao's collapse of Hamilton's car.

The Oscar statuette had to give him a knock when he saw Toto's performance.
