How did I become an F1 driver?

In the end, the scores and rankings of this game are as follows:
P1: Perez +26 (fastest lap)
P2: Verstappen +18
P3: Qin Miao +14
P4: Hamilton +12
P5: Gasly +10
P6: Vettel +8
P7: Alonso +6
P8: Ricardo +4
P9: Norris +2
P10: O'Connell +1
This is also the first time Ricciardo has defeated his teammate Norris in the race since joining McLaren.

At the same time, Perez also deservedly won the fastest lap in this game.

He is very familiar with street racing.

Having led the field since Leclerc retired, this race was incredibly fast.

He can even leave his teammate Verstappen with a time gap of more than 20 seconds in one race.

It is also worth mentioning that Hamilton won the best driver honor after the game as voted by the audience at the game.

Qin Miao didn't know the specific reason.

After this race, the overall driver standings are as follows:

1: Verstappen.130
2: Qin Miao.128
3: Leclerc.121
4: Perez.107
5: Sainz.70
6: Hamilton.51
7: Norris.42
8: O'Connell.39
9: Bottas.38
10: Magnussen.16
11: Alonso.15
12: Gasly.15
13: Vettel.13
14: Ricardo.12
15: Tsunoda.9
16: Zhou Guanyu.6
17: Stroll.1
18: Albon.1
After this race, due to Leclerc's retirement, Verstappen began to lead the driver's championship.

Qin Miao's position remained unchanged in second, while Leclerc fell from the leading position to third because he did not score points in this game.

In fact, if you want to say that the worst person in this game is Zhou Guanyu.

It can even be said that Zhou Guanyu's luck has not been good so far in the 2022 season.

A large number of retirements, the team's strategy team's fainting strategy, and the gearbox hindering his start.

Zhou Guanyu, who had a good chance of scoring high points, often retired from the competition due to various strange reasons during the main game.

Therefore, although Arrow's car performance is not bad this season, Zhou Guanyu has only scored 6 points so far.

There is no comparison with his teammate Bottas.

Qin Miao really couldn't understand this. Zhou Guanyu obviously had the ability to score more points, but why did Arrow focus more resources on Bottas.

Qin Miao feels that Zhou Guanyu has actually proven his strength on the field countless times.

Although Qin Miao does not deny Bottas' ability, Arrow Racing's approach so far is indeed too favorable to one.

It is obvious that there are many people who have the same idea as Qin Miao.

In the past, everyone could still endure it and use various reasons to excuse Arrow Racing. After all, although Zhou Guanyu is good in ability, he still can't get rid of his status as a paid driver. His status in the team is definitely not as good as Arrow Racing. Digging Bottas's.

But after this week's race, domestic fans couldn't bear it anymore and directly attacked Arrow Racing on social media.

Here is the team standings:

1: Red Bull: 237
2: Ferrari: 191
3: Mercedes: 191
4: McLaren: 54
5:Alpine:T
6: Alfa Romeo: 44
7: Haas: 16
8: Little Red Bull: 24
9: Aston Martin: 14
10: Williams: 1
……

As for Qin Miao, after the game, he had no time to pay attention to the ups and downs in the paddock.

After the game, there was a hasty meeting, and Qin Miao got on the plane directly to Canada.

After the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, the Mercedes team needs to face the third back-to-back race on the calendar.

And this flight is not short, basically flying halfway around the world.

Qiu Meng was not accompanying him this time, so Qin Miao took Barber and Hamilton there together.

The reason why I brought Hamilton with me this time was mainly because the aircraft Hamilton used was sent for maintenance, and Hamilton had many activities in Canada that he needed to attend, but the first-class seats on the direct flight from Azerbaijan to Canada were sold out. .

Only economy class remains.

It's not that Hamilton is a rich person and doesn't want to fly in economy class. The main reason is that because of his status, he sat in economy class when flying to the next grand prix venue after the Grand Prix. There was a possibility that Hamilton would not be recognized. There's almost zero sex, especially since he's black.

So in order not to cause a commotion on the plane and to rush for time, Hamilton, who knew Qin Miao was leaving after the game, called Qin Miao.

Qin Miao naturally agreed readily.

Although Hamilton is not as fast as himself this season, he has so many years of competition experience here. If he has any questions, he can also ask Hamilton at this time, and he can learn more or less from Hamilton. .

And now that the relationship between the two has eased, it would not be awkward to go to Hamilton to ask questions that he is not familiar with at this time.

But what made Qin Miao a little helpless was that when Hamilton got on the plane, Hamilton talked to Qin Miao and immediately started to sleep in the bedroom of the plane.

Angela was the only one helping Hamilton pack his things.

Qin Miao looked at Angela with some curiosity. Although the exchanges between the two were not much, they had been working together for almost a year, so they were familiar with each other.

After seeing Qin Miao's eyes, Angela helplessly spread her hands and said: "During the game, you should have noticed that Lewis was in very bad shape after the game. He just went to see a doctor. The doctor said that Hamilton's waist was injured due to dolphin jumping. The soft tissue was injured, although it is nothing serious, but it requires rest during this period. "

Qin Miao nodded. Although it was a pity that he could not learn anything from Hamilton, after knowing that Hamilton was feeling a little uncomfortable due to dolphin jumping, Qin Miao had no idea of ​​disturbing Hamilton's rest.

After flying for six hours, we landed in Canada.

Qin Miao separated from Hamilton after the plane landed.

Qin Miao needs to go directly to the hotel to check in. The next period will definitely be training again, getting familiar with the track on the simulator, and then the competition will begin.

Hamilton was busy rushing to catch an announcement.

Watching Hamilton go away at the bottom of the plane ramp, Qin Miao sighed and asked Barber beside him: "Why?"

Barbour was stunned for a moment, and then he realized what Qin Miao was asking was why Hamilton was so obsessed with making money when he was already so rich and the only seven-time champion in history.

"To be honest, I don't really understand. Maybe Lewis is enjoying the process."

Shrugging noncommittally, Qin Miao picked up her luggage and said to Barber: "Let's go to the hotel..."

In the evening, Qin Miao was chatting with Qiu Meng on a video call in the hotel, preparing to catch up on jet lag, when suddenly her cell phone rang.

I took out my phone and saw it was Zhou Guanyu calling.

After Qin Miao spoke to Qiu Meng, she picked up her phone and picked up the video call without even hanging up.

"Way?" "Have you arrived in Canada?"

"Here we are, now in the hotel."

"Come out and have a drink with me."

Qin Miao was stunned for a moment, looked at the sky outside, and then said: "Get the position."

"Okay, hang up."

"Row."

Sometimes, calls between men are so simple and efficient.

After hanging up the phone, Qin Miao looked at Qiu Meng on the other end of his computer and said, "It seems that the team has breached the defense. I'm going to check on the situation."

Qiu Meng at the other end of the video had also been following the match between Qin Miao and Zhou Guanyu, so he knew what Qin Miao was talking about. He didn't object and just nodded and said: "Okay, pay attention to safety."

"rest assured."

After finishing speaking, Qin Miao stood up, picked up her mobile phone and hotel room card, and looked for the location sent by Zhou Guanyu.

Once you arrive, this is a small local bar.

After Qin Miao opened the door and walked in, there were not many people inside. Someone on the stage was singing an English song that Qin Miao didn't understand.

After scanning the room, Qin Miao saw Zhou Guanyu sitting in an inconspicuous corner.

After pushing through the crowd and walking over, he saw two empty bottles in front of Zhou Guanyu and a dozen unopened drinks under the table. Qin Miao didn't know what kind of drinks they were.

But looking at Zhou Guanyu's face, he was at least sober. It seemed that the drinks Zhou Guanyu drank were not alcohol.

Qin Miao, who felt a little more relieved, asked: "What's going on? Over there with the motorcade?"

Zhou Guanyu smiled bitterly: "Yeah, I'm annoyed.

Originally, I came out wanting to drink some wine, but then I thought about what you said, drinking can damage your nerves. Although I may not be able to win the driver championship in this life due to my ability, I still want to drive in F1 for a few more years. , I forgot about it and made some juice. "

Qin Miao nodded, took a bottle of drink under the table, opened it and took a sip.

To Qin Miao's surprise, the drink tasted pretty good. It was apple-flavored, and Qin Miao liked it very much.

After taking a sip, Qin Miao put down the drink in his hand and asked curiously: "Then what did you come to me to talk about this time?"

"Nothing, I just thought this thing tasted good, so I asked you to come over and try it."

"What the hell..."

"Hahaha, just kidding." Zhou Guanyu smiled and waved his hand, and then told the truth about why he was looking for Qin Miao.

"The main thing I want to ask you is if there is any news from Geely." Zhou Guanyu looked at Qin Miao and said: "Although my talent is not as good as yours, I think my strength in the paddock is also ranked in the middle and lower reaches, and This is only my first season, I’m still in the growing stage, and there’s still a lot of room for growth.”

Qin Miao nodded, he did not deny this.

And even though Zhou Guanyu didn't say it explicitly, Qin Miao still heard the implication of Zhou Guanyu's words.

How do you achieve good results when you are with Arrow and other Ferrari remnants?
Moreover, Zhou Guanyu's rookie contract is for one year, so Zhou Guanyu is considering whether he can make an early contract with Martin if his contract with Arrow expires and Geely has a plan to acquire Martin. Contact us to find your next home in advance.

Qin Miao thought for a while and asked: "How many hours is the time difference between Canada and China?"

Zhou Guanyu was stunned, why did the jet lag suddenly come up while we were having a good conversation?
But after Zhou Guanyu thought for a while, he still said: "Canada has too many time zones, but if we take Montreal as an example, Canada is 13 hours behind China."

Qin Miao thought for a while: "It's 7:30 in the evening, which is 8:30 in the morning in China.

I don’t know if Mr. Li is up now. I’ll call Mr. Li later to ask. But when we chatted last time, I felt that Mr. Li’s desire to enter F1 is quite strong, and Geely should also be prepared. . "

As he spoke, Qin Miao wrote this down in his memo.

"Then will they want me?" For some reason, Zhou Guanyu seemed a little nervous at this time.

Qin Miao picked up her own drink bottle and touched it with Zhou Guanyu's: "Don't think so much. If Geely really comes in, you are not bound by the contract. As long as you don't stretch your crotch to the level of Mick, you want to take it." Getting a Geely driver position is much easier than you think, after all, your nationality is here.”

I don't know why, although Qin Miao is much younger than himself, Zhou Guanyu feels a lot more at ease listening to Qin Miao's words.

"But what happened to your car?" Qin Miao asked curiously after taking a sip of the drink: "Is it the same as last time, the water pipe burst?"

"No." Zhou Guanyu shook his head and said, "It's a problem with the internal combustion engine. However, the team only found data anomalies. The specific cause of the problem has not yet been found." Zhou Guanyu shook his head and sighed.

"Seeing what you are going through, I am really glad that my first season in F1 was with Mercedes rather than a team like Ferrari. In the second half of last year, Ferrari also retired many cars, all because of racing. "The engine problem." Qin Miao complained: "I have to say that Binotto's engine development capabilities are indeed top-notch, but he is still a little bit behind in team management."

Zhou Guanyu could only shake his head and smile bitterly when he heard this.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. By the way, after Geely entered the market, have you considered them?" Zhou Guanyu asked.

Qin Miao had nothing to hide from Zhou Guanyu, and she and Zhou Guanyu had known each other for such a long time. Zhou Guanyu was quite tight-lipped in terms of rhetoric, so Qin Miao nodded and said, "If my contract at Mercedes-Benz happens to expire, And they can give me a car that can compete in the points area, and the salary is not much worse than that of Mercedes-Benz, so I will choose them without any hesitation.”

Zhou Guanyu was very surprised. This was not because of Qin Miao's choice. The reason why Zhou Guanyu was surprised was that Qin Miao's requirements for Geely cars and salary were so low.

"I think you need at least a car that can allow you to compete for championships, and your salary should at least be in line with what Mercedes-Benz offers you."

Qin Miao smiled and said: "If it were last season, I would indeed have considered this."

Zhou Guanyu raised his eyebrows and looked at Qin Miao, then he seemed to have thought of something and showed an expression of sudden realization.

Qin Miao nodded: "It's what you think. I already have a world championship title. I have really thought about winning seven world championships like Hamilton and Michael Schumacher, but it is unrealistic.

After all, you have entered the paddock now, and you should know that if you want to win the world championship, it is not enough to rely solely on the driver's personal strength. The team's car performance must be strong enough and the luck must be good enough. "

Zhou Guanyu nodded, and then said with some envy: "I used to envy you for winning the world championship in the first year of your career, but now I only envy you that the first team of your career is Mercedes-Benz, and in the first year You can drive a car that is capable of competing for championships, and the car will not give you trouble at every turn.”

When talking about this, Qin Miao also sighed a little: "To be honest, I have to thank Ferrari. Without them, I really wouldn't have the chance to come to Mercedes-Benz." (End of Chapter)
