How did I become an F1 driver?

However, Qin Miao's first impression of this aircraft was quite good.

Because he had a lot of knowledge about airplanes in his mind, even though Qin Miao first saw this airplane, he still wanted to judge it through the proportions of the airplane, the curvature of the fuselage, and the painting design. The first impression of an airplane.

But at this time, Qin Miao subconsciously judged the quality of an aircraft from the perspective of the aircraft's aerodynamics, wind resistance coefficient, lift coefficient, the reasonable design of the landing gear position, the output of the aircraft engine, and the aircraft's range.

However, in Qin Miao’s view, every detail of this Gulfstream G650 is just right.

Both the appearance and the internal performance give Qin Miao a very comfortable feeling.

The most important thing is that this plane was given to me for free.

……

After having a general understanding of the aircraft's appearance and aerodynamic layout, Qin Miao, Qiu Meng and their mother took a brief tour of the aircraft that belonged to Qin Miao under the guidance of Susanne Smith.

"Mr. Qin, please allow me to introduce to you: Gulfstream G650." When Smith introduced his aircraft, his tone was full of pride.

“What we are most proud of about the Gulfstream G650 is that it is equipped with two Rolls-Royce BR725 engines. During the test, the maximum speed of the BR725 reached Mach 0.995. That is to say, if conditions permit, this aircraft is It can achieve short-term supersonic flight, and according to our test of the aircraft body strength, the strength of the Gulfstream G650 body can achieve stable long-term flight at a speed of Mach 1.05.

Therefore, the Gulfstream G650 under your feet is currently the fastest civilian airliner in the world.

While it is faster, the Gulfstream G650 has a maximum range of 13000 kilometers. It is the fastest and longest range aircraft among all aircraft models currently sold by Gulfstream. It can be called the F1 among civil aviation aircraft.

Our G650 can transport you comfortably, safely and quickly to anywhere in the world you want to go within 24 hours.

Moreover, engineers paid special attention to the design of the cabin environment. The cabin space is longer and wider than that of the G600, and can accommodate up to 18 passengers at the same time.

The G650 is also equipped with a kitchen and an independently ventilated toilet. The air pressure in the cabin is also very suitable, making passengers feel quite comfortable even at high altitudes.

When cruising at an altitude of 15545 meters, the cabin air pressure is only equivalent to 1487 meters. When cruising at an altitude of 12497 meters, the cabin air pressure is equivalent to 853 meters.

Given your profession, Mr. Qin, you must have a clear understanding of what these data mean for the physical comfort of passengers.

Finally, and what we are most proud of, the G650 is not only equipped with a full kitchen and bar, but also has a variety of entertainment designs, including satellite phones, wireless Internet, a full set of professional gaming equipment, and a small gym, all of which are tailored for you Customized. "

After speaking these words extremely smoothly without any stuttering, Smith also took Qin Miao to visit the aircraft.

Then several people returned to the plane's boarding gate and introduced the captain and a flight attendant of the plane to Qin Miao.

This flight attendant is pretty good-looking and very in line with Asian aesthetics. I can give her a 7.5 rating for her appearance.

However, Qin Miao didn't have much emotional fluctuations about this. On the one hand, Qin Miao was a person who was easily satisfied. After having Qiu Meng, Qin Miao basically never thought about other women.

On the other hand, this was a foreigner after all, who could not match Qin Miao's XP system, so Qin Miao just said hello politely when he saw her, without even asking her name.

It is worth mentioning that this crew and aircraft were given to Qin Miao by Gulfstream. However, unlike the complete gift of the aircraft, Gulfstream, the crew of this aircraft, only helped Qin Miao advance their salary for one year. After 20 years, Qin Miao will be responsible for the salary of this crew.

But this little money doesn't matter to Qin Miao. Their combined salary may not be as much as Qin Miao earns from attending a sponsor event.

In fact, Qin Miao was already very satisfied after getting the plane. He also knew that Gulfstream had helped him get a crew and paid the crew members' wages for an extra year. Qin Miao felt a little embarrassed.

Before leaving, Qin Miao even asked Smith if he wanted to shoot an endorsement for them or something.

But the other party said politely: "Thank you Mr. Qin for supporting our work, but you must know that with your influence, as long as you choose our products, it is the best support and advertisement for us.

Hopefully you won’t be disappointed with your experience flying this aircraft. "

Since the other party refused, Qin Miao had no intention of forcing the other party to advertise. After nodding and sincerely thanking the other party, the other party said goodbye and left.

Then the captain of Qin Miao's plane, Michael Sanchez, communicated with Qin Miao about the route to France and about when it would land without any accidents.

Say it or not, Gulfstream still has strength.

Qin Miao's normally booked Emirates Airlines flight from Abu Dhabi to Paris takes about five hours.

The Gulfstream G650 only takes more than four hours, and the whole process does not require Qin Miao to wait or anything.

Whenever he arrives at the airport, he can start queuing on the runway and waiting for the tower to call him.

The most important thing is that during this process, Qin Miao can move around freely in the plane, play games, watch TV, and there is even a small kitchen to solve the problem of eating on the plane.

After the visit, Qin Miao and the others were ready to take off.

The pre-takeoff inspection had been completed before Qin Miao and the others arrived at the airport, and the oil had been added. Because if the plane has too much oil during landing, it may break the landing gear of the plane, so this time Qin Miao's plane only had enough fuel to fly to Paris.

What was waiting now was for Qin Miao and the others to put away their luggage.

After putting away his luggage, Qin Miao suddenly thought that Zhou Guanyu seemed to be still in Abu Dhabi. Yesterday, he saw him posting some sad and sorrowful copywriting in WeChat Moments.

[I have been walking on thin ice in my life, do you think I can make it to the other side? 】

The accompanying picture is an overhead view of the Abu Dhabi racetrack.

At that time, Qin Miao was not very clear about what Zhou Guanyu wanted to express, but Qin Miao replied under Zhou Guanyu's comment: [Hahahahahahaha]

Then Zhou Guanyu deleted this circle of friends half an hour later.

After thinking about it, Qin Miao still called Zhou Guanyu. This was not because Qin Miao wanted to show off in front of his friends, but because they were both going to France to receive the award, it was just a matter of convenience.

Soon, the call was connected, and Zhou Guanyu's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Crooked?"

"where?"

"At the airport, I'm going directly to France to attend the FIA's year-end awards ceremony tonight. What's going on? Are there any plans after the awards ceremony tonight?" Zhou Guanyu also knew that Qin Miao was going with him, but they didn't buy the same plane. plane ticket, so I don’t have any companions.

The corners of Qin Miao's lips began to rise uncontrollably: "No, I mainly want to ask if you are at Abu Dhabi International Airport? How long until you board the plane?"

Zhou Guanyu was a little puzzled: "Yes, and this is the only airport near Abu Dhabi. Where else could I be if I wasn't here? It's still half an hour before I board the plane. What's going on?"

Qin Miao couldn't suppress the smile at the corner of her mouth: "Haha, it's okay. I just wanted to tell you that the flight ticket will be refunded, and then I will come to the small terminal east of the airport."

Zhou Guanyu also knows that the terminal is specially used to park private jets, and many people also know that Qin Miao likes to ride on other drivers' planes. When he and Leclerc were getting together, Leclerc complained in front of Zhou Guanyu. Qin Miao just flies on the plane. The key is that he doesn't treat himself as an outsider at all when flying. He eats and drinks when he should, without any sense of boundaries.

Of course, this complaint is more of a joke.

Therefore, Zhou Guanyu thought that when Qin Miao called him at this time, he must have caught someone else's plane.

Zhou Guanyu naturally had no reason not to fly on the plane that his friend had access to, and he would not feel bored with Qin Miao along the way. Zhou Guanyu never thought about rejecting it.

But when he stood up to refund the ticket, Zhou Guanyu still asked curiously: "Whose plane did you catch today?"

Qin Miao smiled mysteriously: "You'll know when you get here."

After hanging up the phone, Qin Miao said to the captain Sanchez: "Mr. Sanchez, please wait a moment. I have another friend who needs to come over."

"As you wish, sir."

Seeing the respectful attitude of the other party, Qin Miao felt a little uncomfortable for a while.

When most people see Qin Miao, they are the joy and enthusiasm that fans should show when they look at their favorite driver. In addition to these, the only people Qin Miao sees in the paddock are staff members. These people are of Qin Miao's level. When getting along with the drivers, it's more of a business-like attitude towards work.

Due to professional reasons, Qin Miao basically drives out by himself, so he doesn't have a driver.

Even if Qin Miao sometimes feels tired and doesn't want to drive, Qiu Meng and Ba Bo usually do it for her. Therefore, Qin Miao has basically never experienced the feeling of being treated with respect.

So Qin Miao was really not used to it for a while.

"Well, you don't need to call me sir, just call me Qin Miao."

"Okay, Qin Miao."

After a while, Qin Miao happened to see the aircraft dashboard behind the captain.

After glancing at the dashboard of his plane, Qin Miao touched his chin.

Well, I can understand them all. After a quick glance, I can know the functions of all the buttons on the instrument panel of the aircraft, and I can also understand the data on the instruments.

For a moment, Qin Miao felt a little itchy.

What would happen if I flew this plane to France myself?

That's right, you learned to fly a plane without telling everyone, and now you unexpectedly got a plane of your own. This is your first time touching the dashboard of an airplane. A normal person would want to try it out and try flying a plane. How does it feel specifically?

However, Qin Miao still restrained his inner impulse, for no other reason than because his wife and mother were both on the plane at this time.

Even if Qin Miao was confident, he knew that he could fly the plane smoothly and smoothly, and fly to the landing site to complete the landing.

But for safety reasons, and in order not to worry the two people he cherished the most, Qin Miao suppressed the thoughts that were about to stir in her heart. It’s just that the captain clearly understood Qin Miao’s gaze, so he smiled and asked Qin Miao: “Do you need me to introduce you to the instruments and various functions of this aircraft?”

Qin Miao shook his head without much hesitation and said, "Thank you for your kindness, but no need."

The captain also nodded politely: "Okay, if you need anything, you can come to me. The captain's cabin door of a private jet is not closed."

Qin Miao also nodded, and then came to sit on a sofa facing each other in the plane.

At this time, Qiu Meng and her mother were sitting together watching the TV hanging on the other wall.

Qin Miao sat opposite them.

"Oops, you're blocking the TV." After seeing Qin Miao's actions, my mother reached out and started to pick Qin Miao off.

Qin Miao was speechless: "Mom, why don't you ask me why they gave me this plane for free? I just watched TV as soon as I got up, and I don't care about your son at all."

"It's not like I don't know how much commercial value you have. Do you really think you're your mother? I won't go online or read the news?" My mother crossed her arms and said, "And I've also learned English during this time. You just talked to me I understood everything that person said."

Qin Miao rubbed her nose helplessly. It seemed that it was a bit difficult to show off in front of the people she knew and was closest to.

About twenty minutes later, Zhou Guanyu arrived belatedly.

Under the guidance of the airport staff, Zhou Guanyu arrived in front of Qin Miao's plane, carrying his luggage and carrying a backpack on his back.

At the beginning, Zhou Guanyu didn't pay much attention to this aircraft. It was just a Gulfstream 650, and his family could afford it. However, his own aircraft was still usable, so there was no need to change the aircraft.

It wasn't until Zhou Guanyu came to the plane and saw that the plane's painting pattern was very similar to that of Qin Miao's helmet that Zhou Guanyu seemed to realize something.

When Zhou Guanyu carried his luggage and boarded the plane, the captain had been waiting for him at the door for a while.

"Mr. Zhou, just leave your luggage to me. Mr. Qin is waiting for you inside."

"Thank you." Zhou Guanyu thanked him and handed his suitcase to the captain. Then, while curiously looking at the decoration and furnishings in the aircraft, he walked through the aisle and entered the main space of the aircraft.

Then Zhou Guanyu saw Qin Miao looking back at him with a half-smile.

"Is it too late for me to get off the plane now?" After seeing Qin Miao's expression, Zhou Guanyu suddenly had an ominous premonition.

"It's too late." Qin Miao smiled.

Zhou Guanyu rolled his eyes, then greeted Qiu Meng and Qin Miao's mother: "Qiu Meng, aunt."

Qiu Meng waved to Zhou Guanyu, while Qin Miao's mother nodded with a smile and said, "Hello Guanyu."

After that, Zhou Guanyu sat next to Qin Miao and asked curiously: "Don't tell me that you bought this plane."

After thinking for a while, he nodded and said, "I did not buy the plane."

At this time, Qiu Meng looked at Qin Miao strangely. She knew Qin Miao very well. At this time, Qin Miao must be showing off again.

After Qiu Meng thought for a while, she took her mother away and visited the galley of the aircraft.

Zhou Guanyu and Qin Miao didn't care either. Zhou Guanyu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Let me just say, I really thought this plane was yours. Since it's not yours, why does the appearance of this plane differ from the helmet you commonly use?" How similar are the design styles?

Is it because the owner of this plane likes you so much that he specially made the exterior decoration of his plane to look like your helmet? "

Qin Miao smiled and said: "That's not true. Although I do have a lot of fans, it's impossible for any fans to come to Abu Dhabi just to lend me the plane."

"Whose plane does this belong to?"

"Someone gave it to me."

……

"what?"

At this time, Zhou Guanyu's expression was a bit like a cat lowering its head and suddenly opening its mouth, with a puzzled expression on his face, and added "Huh?".

Qin Miao suppressed a laugh, shrugged and said, "Gulfstream sent it to me. They said that I fit their company's style very well, so they sent me a plane."

"No, why!" Zhou Guanyu was obviously puzzled and confused: "Why did such a good thing happen to you?"

Qin Miao coughed lightly, and then adjusted the white shirt he was wearing: "Introducing me, Qin Miao, the 2021 World Formula One Grand Prix World Champion."

Zhou Guanyu clicked his tongue: "Bad luck."

"Your uncle's!"

After the two argued for a while, Qin Miao's plane also received a notification from the tower and was ready to take off.

Qin Miao briefly took Zhou Guanyu to visit his plane, and then the plane started.

Qin Miao and the others felt a very slight vibration in the plane, and then the captain's voice came from the plane's very good sound: "Dear ladies and gentlemen, the plane is about to take off and enter the taxiway, please." Sit down in your seats and fasten your seat belts.”

Although this is just a private plane, Qin Miao can actually completely disobey the captain's words.

But Qin Miao, as a person with a certain amount of flight knowledge, knows that the plane may encounter many accidents when taking off, such as the plane suddenly bumps, hits a bird, and suddenly encounters a cyclone.

In addition to bird collisions, in the face of the sophisticated flight control of today's aircraft, airflow and aircraft turbulence are actually only minor problems for the aircraft. However, in these situations, the occupants of the aircraft may fall.

In order to avoid injury, everyone sat in their seats and fastened their seat belts according to the captain's instructions before the plane took off.

Soon, the plane took off and the four of them were on their way to France.

After the plane entered its flight path, Qin Miao and the others loosened their seat belts.

After that, it will be a four-hour flight, during which the plane will be very stable.

Qin Miao took Zhou Guanyu to visit his new aircraft, and after arriving in a room dedicated to entertainment, the two never went out again.

At the same time, Qiu Meng and her mother opened the massage seats on the plane, and they were enjoying the massage while watching the movie that came with the plane.

The experience on the private plane was obviously better than that on an ordinary civil airliner. It was not until the plane began to lower its altitude and felt a slight sense of weightlessness that Qin Miao realized that she had arrived in France.

Zhou Guanyu, whose face was covered with white notes, also raised his head and asked in confusion: "What's wrong? Continue."

Qin Miao put down the controller in his hand and said, "No more playing, the plane is coming."

Zhou Guanyu also nodded and did not refuse.

Zhou Guanyu and Qin Miao played FIFA for almost a whole morning. No matter whether they won or lost, after a game, if the opponent scored a few goals, they would stick a few notes on their faces.

There were seven or eight strips on Qin Miao's face, but Zhou Guanyu's face almost ran out of space to post them on. The reason why he persisted until now was mainly because Gulfstream didn't download many games to the PS5 on this plane.

Although this aircraft can connect to the Internet, the Internet speed is only at the 3G level. It can barely watch a 720P video smoothly, but don't even think about downloading games. The speed is appallingly slow.

After hearing Qin Miao's words, Zhou Guanyu pulled off the white note from his face and went out with Qin Miao.

Soon the plane landed. After Qin Miao understood the operating logic of his plane, he asked the captain to find the aircraft's hangar by himself. As for the maintenance and refueling of the plane, the captain himself was responsible for it. Qin Miao would then make arrangements according to the instructions. Reimburse these expenses with the invoices provided by the other party.

After getting off the plane, Qin Miao was going to go with his family to the Carrousel Exhibition Hall of the Louvre in Paris, where the FIA ​​year-end awards ceremony will be held.

The FIA ​​also has a reputation and can hold awards ceremonies here.

However, there are restrictions on holding it here, that is, all invited guests can only bring one companion to this award ceremony.

Qin Miao was naturally planning to take Qiu Meng with him, but Qiu Meng said that she had already been there once and was not prepared to go a second time. After all, when Qin Miao won the driver's championship in F2, Qiu Meng did go with him. Pass.

But when Qin Miao looked at her mother, she said more simply: "I can't get used to that scene. I won't go."

Rather than watching her son look glamorous on stage, what she wanted to see more was her son's safety.

And the two of them didn't just say it as an excuse because they wanted the other to go, they really didn't want to go.

In fact, Qin Miao didn't want to go either. This might be the so-called family does not come into the same house.

But there is no way, Qin Miao won this year's F1 world championship, he can't go.

So Qin Miao was a little confused to find that she had brought two people who could be her female companions, but in the end, she had to attend the award ceremony at the end of the year alone.

But there was no way, not even Qin Miao could persuade his mother's decision.

So in the evening, Qin Miao could only go to the Louvre Museum with Zhou Guanyu. (End of chapter)
