How did I become an F1 driver?

As the center of attention, Qin Miao roughly guessed why all the fans at the scene suddenly became quiet. For a moment, Qin Miao felt a lot of emotion in his heart.

Unconsciously, I have already occupied such an important position in the hearts of domestic car fans. When I first appeared on the stage, I didn't even make any moves, and everyone at the scene subconsciously became quiet.

However, Qin Miao did not let the fans wait for him for long. After a brief pause and taking a deep breath, the smile on Qin Miao's face turned into a brighter smile, and he began to wave to the fans.

Qin Miao's action was like a spark falling into gunpowder, and instantly the emotions of all the fans at the scene were ignited.

The cheers grew louder and louder.

Even these cheers were organized in a very short time.

Soon, uniform shouts resounded throughout the main stand of the competition: "Qin Miao! Qin Miao! Qin Miao! Qin Miao! Qin Miao!..."

Hearing everyone in the stadium shouting his name in unison, Qin Miao felt a little excited for a moment, and his inner desire to not disappoint the home fans' expectations of him became even stronger.

But Qin Miao still had that bright smile on his face at this time. He just smiled and waved to the fans at the scene. Finally, he bowed slightly to the fans at the scene to thank them for their support.

After completing all this, Qin Miao waited until the cheers at the scene died down a little before walking back to the Ferrari team's P room with firm steps.

At this time, the work in the team's P room had already stopped, and everyone looked at Qin Miao in a daze.

Just now when all the fans were shouting Qin Miao's name together, the sound like a sound wave directly penetrated the noise-cancelling headphones on their heads and went directly into their ears.

They even had a feeling that these sounds were not even transmitted to their ears through their ears, but directly caused their skulls to vibrate through the vibration of the ground, thus allowing them to hear the overwhelming cheers of the fans on the scene.

Noticing that everyone in the team had strange expressions on their faces, looking at him as if he had seen a ghost, Qin Miao scratched his head a little embarrassedly: "Why are you looking at me? Haven't you seen drivers being more popular in the local area?"

As the team leader, Vasseur said with some difficulty at this time: "We have indeed seen the crazy look of the fans when we play at home. After all, we are Ferrari."

"But we have never seen the whole field shouting a driver's name in unison without any guidance like today, and even the sound can be transmitted directly to my mind through my noise-canceling headphones."

Qin Miao also shook his head helplessly: "To be honest, before I actually came to the scene, I thought the fans would support me, but I didn't expect them to be so supportive."

"However, since the fans here support me so much, I can't let them down. Let's get ready quickly. I'll leave this Grand Prix weekend to all my colleagues. Please work hard. I don't want any problems to arise with the car this Grand Prix weekend." After saying that, Qin Miao even bowed slightly in the direction of his crew.

When Qin Miao stood up again, the expression on his face returned to calm and focused.

But in the eyes of Qin Miao's crew members, Qin Miao was somewhat scary at this time.

After all, they knew that Qin Miao had the right to fire them directly. Therefore, although Qin Miao said it as a request, in fact, Qin Miao's words were also a disguised threat: This Grand Prix weekend is very important to me. If any of you fail in this Grand Prix weekend, don't blame me for firing you directly after the game.

After this combination of kindness and severity, it is hard to say what the situation of Leclerc's crew technician is, but all the staff of Qin Miao's crew were forced to be on high alert, fearing that they would not do their job well. Then I said goodbye to the Ferrari team.

After all, if the work is not done well, Qin Miao will really optimize it.

During the practice session, Qin Miao's overall performance was not outstanding, because during the entire practice session, Qin Miao was mainly conducting long-distance tests and collecting data. He had not even run a single simulated flying lap in the qualifying round.

As a result, in the driver lap time ranking after the qualifying round, Qin Miao did not even make it into the top 10.

Some fans who don't often watch the race were somewhat excited after seeing Qin Miao's qualifying results. After all, everyone came here to see Qin Miao dominate the track, and they naturally didn't want to see Qin Miao perform poorly.

Of course, these doubts are mainly concentrated in the minds of fans who don’t know much about F1 races.

In fact, many fans who often watch F1 races have long been accustomed to Qin Miao's performance on the track. Not to mention the practice rounds, Qin Miao even does this in the qualifying rounds.

But Qin Miao's performance in the practice match today was not like he slacked off in the qualifying and practice matches as usual. He really felt that his schedule was very tight and he had no time to do the qualifying match simulation.

As for the qualifying simulation he planned to do a few more flying laps on the track during the sprint qualifying using the time of SQ1 and SQ2.

Although it was impossible to change the tuning at that time, to be honest, Qin Miao himself knew that even if the tuning was not correct, he could still drive the maximum speed of the current car under that tuning.

Moreover, as the last race was a relatively balanced track, Ferrari brought Qin Miao a relatively balanced performance in this Grand Prix weekend, but at the same time it was also more inclined towards straight-line speed adjustment.

In simple terms, it means paying more attention to long-distance speed training, and basically not considering the results of the sprint qualifying.

The practice session ended quickly and Qin Miao obtained a lot of data. He also optimized his car training based on this data, but he still had many doubts.

But things have come to this point and there is no time to wait. What needs to be faced next is the sprint qualifying.

When Qin Miao took off his racing suit and returned to the team's home, the little guy was already waiting for him there.

However, at this time, little Mu Qiu was being held in the arms of Leclerc, who had returned to the team home first. He proudly showed off to other colleagues in the team: "See this little angel? This is my goddaughter!"

The male colleagues were fine. At most, they just smiled at the little guy, said hello, and then chased Leclerc away like a fly.

What I hate most is Leclerc’s show-off look.

But the female colleagues in the team couldn't stand it anymore and really wanted to hug little Muchu.

After the little guy's succubus ability was activated, the female colleagues in the team even lost their focus on work. From time to time, they would glance at the little guy in Leclerc's arms, their eyes full of maternal love.

In the end, Vasseur fined Leclerc $500 on the grounds that Leclerc affected the work efficiency of other team members. Then, with Leclerc looking heartbroken, he carefully took the little guy from Leclerc's arms.

Qin Miao, who saw this scene, had reason to suspect that Vasser was abusing his power for personal gain.

However, when the little guy in Wasser's arms noticed that his father had also returned, he immediately started fluttering in Wasser's arms, opening his arms and asking Qin Miao for a hug.

Qin Miao was a little anxious because the data collected from a practice match was not enough. After seeing the little guy's expression, the tension in his heart relaxed a little. He walked quickly to Vassell, and under the old man's reluctant expression, Qin Miao held the little guy in his arms.

As soon as he entered Qin Miao's arms, Xiao Muchu hugged Qin Miao's neck tightly with both hands and stared at these strange people in red clothes with some vigilance.

Although Daddy is also wearing red clothes, he is not a bad guy! He will not prick himself with his beard.

If Wasser knew that little Muchu didn't stay in his arms for long because of his beard, he would probably be so angry that he would pull out his beard roots and stubble on the spot.

However, Qin Miao also knew that now was not the time to cultivate feelings with his daughter. While patting his daughter's back, Qin Miao quickly walked to his workstation.

After sitting down, Qin Miao used one hand to operate the mouse to open the data statistics chart he had just received, and began to discuss with his track engineer Franky how to tune the car according to his own feelings on the track.

Soon it was 3 o'clock in the afternoon.

The sprint qualifying race is about to begin.

At this time, Qin Miao had already found his own racing car tuning. Although there were still some shortcomings, at least he would not fail in the qualifying stage.

There were already many of Qin Miao's relatives and friends in the P room of the Ferrari team, such as Qin Miao, his daughter, his father-in-law, his mother-in-law, and his mother. In addition to them, Jay Chou, JJ Lin, and Guo Fan also came.

These were all tickets that Qiu Meng sent to them.

Qin Miao had just walked into the team's P room from the team's home when he became the focus of everyone's attention.

After coming in, Qin Miao nodded at them, then turned around and hugged his daughter.

I took my daughter to start saying hello to my friends.

"Mr. Jay, thank you for your presence." Qin Miao came in front of Jay Chou and said with a smile: "Hey, why don't I see Kun Ling?"

"She has a show to record and can't come." Jay Chou said with a smile, and then opened his arms to the little Muchu in Qin Miao's arms: "Come here, little cutie, let uncle hold you."

Even a big star couldn't resist the charm of this little guy? Qin Miao felt a little desperate. What would happen to this little guy when he grew up?
What if the little guy brings back a yellow-haired boy one day, should I smash him with the F1 world championship trophy or with a knife?
Xiao Muchu did not resist and let Qin Miao hand her over to Jay Chou.

After Jay Chou picked up little Muchu, he was reluctant to let go.

Jay Chou has two daughters, and both of them have grown up. Now when he looks at little Muchu, he feels like he is seeing his own daughters when they were little. After holding her in his arms, he doesn't want to let go.

After that, Qin Miao began to greet JJ Lin, Guo Fan and Guo Fan.

But Qin Miao still had to compete after all, so after chatting for a while, Qin Miao turned around and began to prepare for today's competition.

But before that, Jay Chou, JJ Lin and Guo Fan all made a lot of money from Qin Miao.

JJ Lin and Jay Chou invited Qin Miao to attend their next concert in China, while Director Guo asked Qin Miao to continue to make a guest appearance in The Wandering Earth 3.

Director Guo even said that he would tailor a role specifically for Qin Miao, with a lot of scenes.

After putting on his equipment, Qin Miao climbed into his racing car.

For this Grand Prix weekend, Pirelli's tire compounds are C2~C4.

The three tyre compounds in the middle.

Qin Miao only used one set of neutral tires and one set of hard tires in the first practice session. At this time, Qin Miao still had one set of new hard tires, three sets of new neutral tires, and six sets of new soft tires.

The tire reserves of this level can no longer be described as sufficient, it is simply inhumane.

After changing to a new set of soft tires, Qin Miao began to wait for the start of qualifying.

After the qualifying started, Ferrari released Qin Miao immediately.

Just sweep the streets. Qin Miao basically did not do any qualifying simulation in the practice session. Now that it is the qualifying session, it is natural for Qin Miao to run as many laps on the track as possible.

As for Leclerc's qualifying simulation data...their tire consumption rates are completely different. Leclerc's data and the in-car screen are really only for reference.

When Qin Miao drove his Ferrari out of the team's P room, the fans at the scene naturally cheered enthusiastically again.

Qin Miao was driving his car while reaching his hand out of the car to greet the fans at the scene.

Of course, this was only the case when he was in the maintenance lane. After Qin Miao left the maintenance lane, all his attention was focused on the track.

Even the other team staff at the scene seemed to have made an appointment. From the moment Qin Miao came out of the team's P room until the end of his warm-up lap, when he started to accelerate after passing T11, and until he crossed the finish line and started his first flying lap of his sprint qualifying, no car came out of the team's P room at the scene.

This is a tribute to respect for Qin Miao, the triple champion who has won three world championships but has never competed in his home court.

During Qin Miao's first flying lap, the live broadcast footage never left Qin Miao's red Ferrari No. 66 racing car with a five-pointed star on it.

In the first flying lap, because there were no other drivers' results for reference, Qin Miao's three timing segments were all purple.

However, this was Qin Miao's first flying lap in the race, and Qin Miao was still a bit conservative. At the end of the first lap, Qin Miao's result was 1:36.719.

According to the predictions before the game, Qin Miao's result basically ensured that he would advance to SQ2.

According to Qin Miao's previous habits, he would definitely leave work on the spot after getting this result, but after returning to the team's P room to rest for a while, he quickly returned to the track and started his second flying lap. (End of this chapter)
