How did I become an F1 driver?

As for Leclerc's car, Qin Miao had already buffed it before pulling it out of the garage.

He reached out and patted his car, feeling the condition of his car, and there was no problem.

In this way, there is a high probability that no one in the team will be fired for improper maintenance and inspection of the car during this Grand Prix weekend.

Of course, you’ll only know once you’ve entered the station.

After completing the handover before the start of the race, Qin Miao got into his own car.

"Okay, we can see that the team staff on site have begun to evacuate." On the Five Star Sports side, the three commentators were unable to go to the scene to watch the game in person due to work reasons, but compared to watching the game on site, sitting in the studio and watching the game at home also has obvious advantages.

That is, no matter when and where you are watching the game in the studio, the perspectives you can see are the most exciting shots of the game at that moment selected for you by the on-site director.

"Starting from pole position, Qin Miao has a great chance of winning today's race, even though Qin Miao is not the most familiar with the track among all the top drivers," Fei Ge analyzed.

During the final preparation stage before the game started, several commentators from Five Star Sports began to analyze Qin Miao's chances of winning today's game.

After all, it is Qin Miao's home court, so everyone naturally hopes that Qin Miao can win the championship at home.

Soon, most of the staff on the track evacuated the track with their equipment, because the final inspection of the car had been completed and the race was about to begin.

There were only four crew technicians left next to Qin Miao's car, who were using thermal blankets to keep the tires warm, and Fabio, who was directing the car.

Before the warm-up lap officially began, all these staff members withdrew from the track.

"Okay, we see that all the technicians on the track have evacuated, and the formation lap is about to begin."

During the warm-up lap, Qin Miao naturally enjoyed the warmest cheers. Wherever the car went, there was a chorus of cheers from the stands.

However, Qin Miao did not have the time to wave and say hello to the fans who supported him at the scene. After all, the warm-up lap is not like the return lap. During the warm-up lap, Qin Miao also needed to focus most of his attention on warming up the tires and brakes.

After all, the overall track layout of the last race was different in the three timing sections. There was a very long straight in the third timing section, where both the brakes and the tire surface of the car would cool down quickly. After passing this long straight, there were only two corners that required braking, and then you would reach the starting grid.

Therefore, during the entire third timing period, Qin Miao’s main job was no longer to warm up his brakes and tires, but to ensure the temperature of his brakes and tires.

Compared with the first and second timing sections, Qin Miao needs to spend more time to raise the surface of his tires and brakes to a relatively high temperature.

When Qin Miao parked the car on the starting grid again, the tire temperature was actually a little lower than normal, but Qin Miao didn't have any better solution. After all, on the long straight in the entire third timing section, Qin Miao's tires and brakes cooled down too quickly, and the weather today was not very good. The temperature was only 3° and the track temperature was 13°, which was not good news for maintaining tire temperature at the start.

But Qin Miao parked very slowly, so not long after Qin Miao parked, Verstappen behind him also parked not long after. So no matter what, the condition of Verstappen's tires would not have a clear advantage over Qin Miao's tires.

The pole position for the last race was on the driving line, which is the so-called outside line. Qin Miao believed that the track had been almost cleared after the Porsche Cup before the main race, and there should be no problem with his starting rhythm.

"Okay, we see five red lights coming on one by one at the scene."

"Five red lights go out, and the race begins!" Amidst the excited words of Brother Bing and the cheers of the fans on the scene, the 2024 Shanghai Grand Prix finally began.

The moment the five red lights went out, Qin Miao released the clutch paddle behind the steering wheel with the fastest reaction speed in his life.

The moment the clutch gear engages with the engine, the maximum torque is transmitted to the two rear wheels with a width of 405mm through the connecting rod. The SF24 rushes out like a rocket that has been ignited.

After starting, Qin Miao found that he had made no mistakes this time, so he glanced at his right rearview mirror to observe Verstappen's position.

"Qin Miao started very quickly today, and he opened up a gap with Alonso and Verstappen behind him! Verstappen's starting rhythm was also very good, and there was almost no obvious widening trend between him and Qin Miao! It's hard to believe that the starting rhythms of the two drivers are so consistent!"

Qin Miao naturally also saw that the starting reaction speed of his inside player Verstappen in today's race was almost exactly the same as his own. His excellent start did not actually widen the time gap between him and Verstappen behind him.

But the good news is that Qin Miao's starting reaction speed is basically the same as Verstappen.

This means that Qin Miao can change lanes to the inside after starting, and does not have to worry about being blocked by Verstappen.

So Qin Miao changed lanes directly to the inside line to prevent Verstappen from forcing himself to brake late and squeeze in on the inside line of T1.

After all, Qin Miao and Verstappen have been fighting each other on the track for so long, and he knows Verstappen's character too well.

Verstappen did not disappoint Qin Miao. When Qin Miao changed lanes to the inside, Verstappen also changed lanes to the inside behind him.

However, Qin Miao's start was no worse than Verstappen's, so no matter how slowly Qin Miao changed lanes to the inside, he still closed the door to Verstappen on the inside.

At this time, Verstappen had no choice but to go to the outside to find a good angle to brake into the corner.

But Qin Miao seemed to have eyes on his back. When Verstappen went to the outside line, he also followed him to the outside line.

In the eyes of the spectators, after starting, Qin Miao quickly changed lanes to the inside and came in front of Verstappen's car, and then the two cars went to the center line of the track one after the other.

After Verstappen discovered that Qin Miao was walking towards the center line of the track, he wanted to go to the inside line of the track, but Qin Miao seemed to have predicted Verstappen's thoughts and also turned towards the inside line of the track. However, after turning here, because the two cars were about to reach the braking point of T1, Qin Miao could not use the traction of his car to change lanes at this time and could only enter the corner from the center line of the track.

At this time, in order to find a better angle to enter the corner, Verstappen could only go to the outside of the track.

Because Verstappen knew that if he continued to move towards the inside of the track, Qin Miao would also change lanes to the inside of the track.

With these two options, Verstappen can only choose the outside line which would cause him the least loss.

But what Verstappen, who was forced to the outside of the corner by Qin Miao, didn't know was that Qin Miao, who was in the center of the track, had a slight playful arc at the corner of his mouth.

Because when Qin Miao participated in the event before the race, he talked with some local drivers who often race in Shanghai. In fact, the grip of the center line of the T1 in Shanghai is stronger than that of the inside and outside lines.

So in fact, Qin Miao's operation was to deliberately push Verstappen to the outside line, and then it looked like the braking point was about to come, and Qin Miao had no chance to go to the inside or outside line.

In fact, this was all Qin Miao’s plan.

Qin Miao's idea is very simple and plain. I don't want you to take the inside line, and I don't want to give you the center line, so you should go to the outside line.

This may be the advantage of local drivers playing at home. Qin Miao has the best of both worlds.

Because of this small detail that few people except locals know, Qin Miao had a 1-second lead over Verstappen just after exiting the T0.2 corner. Then when he came to T2 and T3, after exiting the iconic combination corner of the last race, Qin Miao had already opened up a 1.7-second advantage over Verstappen.

What? How can Qin Miao leave Verstappen behind by 1.7 seconds in just one combination of corners?
That's because Alonso, the old comrade, also knows this little detail from the last race. After all, he has a lot of racing experience and he has run on this track countless times.

When Verstappen was forced to the outside by Qin Miao, Alonso directly stuck to the back of Qin Miao's car. When Verstappen found something wrong and wanted to move to the inside, it was too late. Alonso did not leave him any space to change lanes to the inside.

In addition, the driving distance on the inside line is relatively shorter, so Alonso has already overtaken Verstappen after passing this combination bend.

Verstappen now understood Qin Miao's happiness. His reaction starting speed, which was one of the best in the entire starting phase, not only did it not bring him any improvement in position, but it actually caused him to slide down one place.

However, apart from Verstappen himself, the three drivers who started in the top four were all delighted as Verstappen's position dropped.

Qin Miao lost his biggest threat, his boss moved up a position, and Leclerc was just worrying about how to annoy Verstappen on the track, and now Verstappen came to him.

After discovering that the person behind him was Alonso, Qin Miao suddenly changed his way of defending Verstappen in this game.

Qin Miao's previous defensive strategy against Verstappen was to use all his speed as quickly as possible to prevent Verstappen from catching up with him, but now Qin Miao's idea is very simple. He will continue to suppress Alonso's speed and use the rich defensive experience of this old comrade to defend Verstappen behind him.

Although the old comrade is old, he has rich competition experience, and it is hard to believe that the 42-year-old comrade still maintains an incredible competitive state.

Compared with other young drivers, Alonso, the old comrade, is very clear about the shortcomings of his Aston Martin. This car is definitely not enough for Alonso to win the Shanghai Grand Prix.

Therefore, the old comrade must be thinking about trying his best to secure a podium spot, preferably finishing second.

So after discovering that Qin Miao intended to give him DRS, Alonso definitely did not think of going against the grain and finding a way to overtake Qin Miao on the track, but to use the DRS given by Qin Miao to defend Verstappen behind him with all his strength.

As for Leclerc...

Although Qin Miao knew that using Alonso in front to defend Verstappen behind him would inevitably make it difficult for Leclerc to pose any threat to Verstappen, his own position would be locked.

But at this time Qin Miao really couldn't think so much. This game was indeed too important to Qin Miao.

Once the DRS high-speed train was turned on, the situation on the track was exactly as Qin Miao had imagined. He completely locked Verstappen behind Alonso, even though the RB20's DRS was highly efficient.

But Qin Miao slowed down his speed at non-overtaking points, and used the DRS zone to pull the slipstream for Alonso and give him DRS. Even if Verstappen had enough speed to be side by side with Alonso before the attack point, Alonso would definitely go to the inside line in advance to prevent Verstappen from braking late on the inside line.

As for accumulating a large amount of electricity and then trying to overtake on the outside line?
Verstappen did try, but can you imagine the despair you'd feel if you pulled out to the outside line and found that there was a Ferrari in front of you that blocked all your opportunities to overtake?
When the race reached the eighth lap, the time gap between the top ten drivers did not exceed 2 seconds under Qin Miao's suppression.

There was no way. Qin Miao was speeding too hard. At those points where he couldn't overtake, Qin Miao's acceleration after exiting the corner was half a second slower than normal. This was not enough. The key was that Alonso was still cooperating with Qin Miao to speed up the cars behind him.

The old and the young reached a tacit cooperation alliance on the track that was incredible to the drivers behind them.

At this time, Verstappen was convinced by the passionate combination of the old and the young.

Although Verstappen did not start to attack them on the spot, the continuous attempts in the past 8 laps have made Verstappen completely give up all ideas of attacking the two of them before their combination skills are released.

Now the only thing Verstappen is looking forward to is the team's tire changing speed after the pit window opens.

Anyway, if the current situation continues, the ranking will not be determined by the driver's own performance on the track, but by the team's tire changing speed.

When the race reached the ninth lap, drivers on the track began to pit.

But all the drivers except the huge DRS high-speed train chose to pit.

Because they didn't dare to gamble. After all, due to Qin Miao's suppression, the drivers' tires in the high-speed train were in particularly good condition.

It would be a waste of tires to enter the pit to change tires at this time, and because of Qin Miao's suppression, there is a high probability that you will fall into the group of drivers behind after entering the pit. Basically, there is no clean window, and you will encounter slow cars every three to five seconds.

Even if you are faster after pitting and can undercut the car in front, no one except Qin Miao has brand new soft tires at this time, so everyone will use hard tires as expected at the next pit stop window.

Although the speed of the drivers in the DRS high-speed train is still relatively slow at this time, if Qin Miao runs freely, the neutral tires that have been maintained for so long will still be faster than the hard tires.

At that time, it will no longer be under cut, but over cut by the driver behind.

However, when the race reached the 15th lap, Red Bull still called Verstappen into the pit.

There is no other way. If Verstappen comes in a little later, he will miss the pit window. If Qin Miao continues like this, Verstappen will have to stop. Then it will be Qin Miao's home court. He will use his incredible ability to protect the tire to make it impossible for you to catch up with him.

After Verstappen entered the pit, Qin Miao knew that his first stage mission was completed. Then Qin Miao ended his brief alliance with Alonso on the track and started running at his own pace.

After all, if Qin Miao continues to speed up on the track, it will create favorable conditions for Verstappen.

After Verstappen came out of the maintenance area, he naturally started chopping melons and vegetables like crazy on the track. After all, Verstappen's ability and the performance of the car are there, it would be strange if he didn't chop melons and vegetables like crazy on the track.

Qin Miao continued to make full use of his set of neutral tires. When the race reached the 20th lap, he had a time gap of 3.1 seconds with Leclerc behind him.

What? Alonso? Pitted...

This scene only appears after both Ferrari drivers have done a long stint.

Originally, Leclerc's pit stop window was on the 21st lap, but because Qin Miao was leading in the front and slowed down for 15 laps, the performance of Leclerc's neutral tires was still very good. Therefore, Leclerc's pit stop window was extended from the 21st lap to the 25th lap, the same as Qin Miao.

Then a dramatic scene occurred.

Bottas' car suddenly started smoking, and then the car slowly stopped on the concrete ground outside T11.

T11 is the starting point of a U-turn, which is a bit far from the entrance of Matthew.

Coincidentally, the problem with Bottas' car occurred when Qin Miao had just passed T16 and missed the pit window, so Qin Miao did not pit immediately, and the Leclerc team behind Qin Miao was half a beat slower.

So Leclerc didn't pit either.

When Qin Miao drove past T11 again, he found that Bottas had already got out of the car.

This means that Bottas' Sauber car must be moved through Mathieu's entry.

So not surprisingly, the yellow flag became a virtual safety car.

Qin Miao and Leclerc entered the pit to change tires at this time. Even because of the time difference between them, Ferrari could carry out the tire change relatively calmly.

In the end, Qin Miao changed to 2.4 tires and Leclerc changed to 2.2 tires. Both of them made no mistakes and the race was extremely smooth.

Many old Ferrari fans exclaimed: Impossible, you are not Ferrari at all! Tell me! Who are you? !
The two Ferrari drivers were still first and second after coming out of the pit area. Leclerc used a virtual safety car on the track to overcut Alonso.

The fans at the scene never stopped cheering and applauding after seeing this scene.

The most abstract thing is that when Bottas passed the audience stands, he even heard many fans shouting thank you to him.

Then, more than a dozen Matthews started pushing Bottas' car and found that the gearbox of Bottas' car was stuck in second gear and could not be pushed at all.

This meant that the race had to send out a crane to remove the car.

Well, the virtual safety car has been converted into a physical safety car, and now all drivers have a pit stop window.

Strictly speaking, this is not very good news for Ferrari. After all, the advantage that Qin Miao had accumulated with great difficulty was completely wiped out by the physical safety car.

But both Ferrari and Qin Miao, the person involved, were unusually calm at this moment and accepted the result calmly.

Because the driver behind Qin Miao changed from Alonso to Leclerc.

After all, Qin Miao and Leclerc both benefited from Bottas' accident.

Both drivers spent at least seven seconds less in their pit stops than the other drivers.

Therefore, even if a safety car appeared in front of him, Qin Miao remained calm.

Although Leclerc's defensive experience is not as sufficient as Alonso's, Leclerc has shown in recent games that the bond between him and Qin Miao is unbreakable.

Loyalty! (Peninsula accent)

Of course, there is still good news on the track.

The first safety car was restarted on lap 26, but Alonso missed the braking point at T14 on the lap after the restart, which caused the drivers behind him to slow down in advance at T14.

In fact, if you are on a normal highway, the impact of your sudden braking on the car behind you is just forcing the car behind you to brake as well.

Then there was a small traffic jam on the highway, but it recovered on its own soon.

But the racetrack is not a place that emphasizes safe driving. The first priority of all drivers on the track is to overtake the driver in front of him as much as possible and strive for faster speed.

So this directly led to a series of subsequent butterfly effects.

First of all, Stroll behind him rear-ended Ye Yifei in a curve, and Ye Yifei's car was directly lifted up by the front nose of Stroll's car, but fortunately the car was not damaged and could continue to run.

And Tsunoda was given a standard PIT by Magnussen's golden left front.

Just let Kakuta withdraw from the competition.

Could this be some kind of destiny?

Anyway, Lynk & Co is in a stable mood regarding Tsunoda's retirement. It's OK if Ye Yifei doesn't retire from the Chinese Grand Prix.

The safety car appeared on the track again.

This time, the safety car that appeared on the track was actually beneficial to Qin Miao and Leclerc.

Because of the previous safety car, the distance between Verstappen and Qin Miao at the back had been shortened very much. Another safety car not only reduced the overall pressure-bearing time of the two Ferrari drivers Qin Miao and Leclerc in this race, but for Verstappen, this safety car was a complete waste of his time to attack Qin Miao and Leclerc.

The race restarted on lap 33, and Leclerc was behind Qin Miao.

So Qin Miao continued to use the tactics he had been using since the beginning of the game: driving the high-speed train.

Because of the safety car and Verstappen's pit stop, he is now in fourth place, while Norris is in third place.

Although Qin Miao and Norris have a good relationship, it is obviously not to the same extent as Leclerc and Zhou Guanyu.

But facing Verstappen behind him and after noticing the intentions of the two Ferrari cars in front, Norris also chose to follow Leclerc and start driving.

But Norris is not Alonso after all. Compared with Alonso, Norris is more or less more motivated.

After all, it's normal for young people to be ambitious.

So many times, when Qin Miao slowed down at some non-overtaking points, Norris wanted to overtake Leclerc in front. The key is that Leclerc is not a vegetarian. Before Qin Miao came to Ferrari, Leclerc was the top driver of Ferrari, right?

You need both good looks and strength.

So Leclerc defended Norris perfectly.

But perhaps because he came behind Norris, Verstappen was always waiting for an opportunity to kill with one blow, and basically did not put any pressure on Norris.

So Norris actually ignored the existence of Verstappen behind him, and instead concentrated on looking for opportunities behind Leclerc.

So as expected, Norris had an accident on the track.

T39 on lap 14.

Qin Miao braked normally on the outside to enter the corner. When exiting the corner, he observed Leclerc who had gone to the inside to defend Norris. The time he added gas after exiting the corner was at least 0.4 seconds slower. This was the best way for Qin Miao to adjust the distance to the car behind him.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be more than 7 cars pulling behind him.

Leclerc did defend against Norris' attack on the inside, but Norris, who was squeezed to the outside, just gave up his position to Leclerc and was about to accelerate out of the corner when he discovered that there was an extra Red Bull on the inside.

And after exiting the corner, the acceleration of this Red Bull car is much faster than Norris on the outside.

Finally, when they arrived at the T16 braking point, Verstappen on the outside had already surpassed Norris by half a car body.

Although DRS was not used, Verstappen was sucking on Leclerc's tailstream when exiting the corner and also turned on ERS.

Norris's ERS battery had already been used up during his constant attempts on Leclerc in these laps.

So even if Norris wanted to keep his position, he was powerless.

As for why Leclerc in front of Norris couldn't block the road in front like Qin Miao helped Alonso defend Verstappen...

After all, if Leclerc does this, it will be beneficial to both the Ferrari team and Qin Miao personally.

But Leclerc is not Qin Miao after all. He does not have the same strong insight as Qin Miao, nor can he have Qin Miao's ability to distract himself and carefully observe the specific position of the car behind while running a race.

The most important thing is that Leclerc was also annoyed by Norris. He could have easily gotten a podium behind him, but he insisted on taking his second place. Now, he has lost the podium, right? It's his fault!

Verstappen also moved from 4th to 3rd place in this lap.

However, Qin Miao and Leclerc both feel okay with the current situation. Qin Miao feels that with Leclerc behind him, he is stable and can defend against Verstappen's attack.

Leclerc felt that with Qin Miao in front providing him with DRS, he could also use his body to help him block Verstappen at the critical moment, which was also very stable.

Verstappen himself also felt that he still had a chance in this race. After all, if he could beat Norris, wouldn't it be impossible to beat Leclerc? After beating Leclerc, wouldn't it only be a matter of time before he beat Qin Miao?

In Verstappen's view, Ferrari's success and failure are both due to the DRS train. Now Verstappen has no problems with tire wear because he has been suppressed for a long time.

Qin Miao, your greatest advantage in long-distance races has been completely exhausted by yourself!
On lap 43, Verstappen recharged his car.

Verstappen, who had been following Leclerc, launched the first attack.

However, when he was about to launch an attack on the outside of T1, Verstappen discovered with some despair that there was a very slowly driving Ferrari in front of the left side of Leclerc's car.

Even Leclerc had tapped on the right side of that Ferrari.

In other words, Verstappen's attack this time directly entered the pocket formed by the two Ferrari cars, and there was no way forward at all.

But at this time it was impossible to get back to the inside of the track because Verstappen had already left Leclerc on the outside of the track.

The first offensive attempt failed.

When the fans at the scene saw Verstappen give up the attack, they immediately cheered loudly.

The fans at the scene didn't care what Verstappen and the Red Bull team would think after hearing the cheers. They only knew that the two Ferrari drivers used a passionate combination of skills to defend against Verstappen's attack.

Verstappen's second attack came on lap 45.

But this time it’s in T14, still the same recipe, still the same taste.

Qin Miao blocked all of Verstappen's overtaking routes on the outside.

Pan Zi was also convinced.

But he still didn't give up. After accumulating power for two laps, he attacked again at T48 on the 14th lap.

Before this attack, Verstappen and Leclerc were very close.

When they came out of T13, there was only a 0.2 second time difference between the two.

When arriving at the starting straight, Verstappen directly opened the RB20 to full power.

This time Verstappen's attack was already on the outside of Leclerc, completely parallel to Leclerc wheel-to-wheel, two-thirds of the way down the longest straight of the last race.

Qin Miao naturally also noticed Verstappen's eagerness to move.

But what Qin Miao didn't expect was that Verstappen's attack this time was so fast.

Although he was still stuck in front of Verstappen, the space between him and Leclerc was a bit large. For other drivers, this small gap, which was just enough for one car to pass through, might still be considered a blind spot. But for a top driver like Verstappen, he was confident that he could get in directly and overtake Leclerc.

After realizing this, Qin Miao simply stopped running on the outside line, but came in front of Leclerc, actively pulling the tailstream for Leclerc, and leaving the outside line completely to Verstappen.

However, this track, which seemed to have an unobstructed view of the road ahead, made Verstappen feel a little numb.

Because in his original idea, he was going to use his speed in this attack to surpass Leclerc and then go directly to the inside to completely take down Leclerc. If possible, it is not impossible to brake late in the inside to take down Qin Miao.

However, there was one thing that Verstappen did not expect. After Leclerc discovered that Verstappen had overtaken him by half a car body from his outside line, he suddenly realized that Qin Miao had completely ignored his inside line.

Leclerc also knew that if the current situation continued to develop, although Verstappen might not be able to defeat Qin Miao, he would definitely surpass him. So Leclerc simply changed lanes directly to the inside, and when he came to the braking point, Leclerc braked late and forced his way into Qin Miao's inside lane.

Verstappen also absorbed Leclerc's slipstream and had the support of ERS and DRS, so his tail speed was terribly high. After even surpassing Leclerc, he had already pulled away from Qin Miao's left rear. Verstappen's left front wheel was facing Qin Miao's right rear wheel.

Then a funny scene appeared on the track. Neither Qin Miao nor Verstappen showed any intention of giving up their positions.

The three cars on the track had no intention of entering the corner normally and all rushed towards the outside of T14.

Then Leclerc, who was on the innermost line, entered the turn first. Qin Miao waited for Leclerc to enter the turn before entering. Verstappen actually wanted to enter the turn as well, but Qin Miao did not give you a chance and found that Verstappen was still on his outer line and did not give up.

So Qin Miao's right turn when exiting the corner was not very standard, and the wheel arch of the left rear wheel directly hit Verstappen's right front wheel.

Although neither car was damaged in the collision because the cars were not going very fast, the grip of both cars' tires was at its limit when they were turning.

This sudden collision, as expected, disrupted the delicate balance of the two cars.

Both of their cars were slightly out of control.

Qin Miao was lucky, as he controlled his car in the first moment, but Verstappen's car was directly knocked out of the lane by Qin Miao and ran onto the grass outside T15.

After all, Verstappen was on the outermost side of the track, and the two tires on the left were almost about to hit the grass on the outside. This sudden collision directly knocked Verstappen onto the grass.

Of course, if it was a normal Grand Prix weekend, this collision would not be a big deal. Verstappen would at most just have to get back on track and catch up with the two people in front.

But the key is that Verstappen is still in the DRS train.

When Verstappen returned to the track again, he had fallen to fifth place.

Not only did Norris return to third place, but there was also Russell ahead of Verstappen.

Pan Zi: ...

After the fans at the scene saw the collision between Verstappen and Qin Miao, everyone exclaimed in surprise, but when they saw that there were no major problems with both cars, and that Qin Miao was able to defend against Verstappen's attack and that Verstappen was still two places behind, the exclamations just now instantly turned into cheers that resounded throughout the entire audience.

As for the current No. 1, it’s Leclerc…

After yesterday’s sprint race performance, the fans at the scene did not believe that Leclerc would not exchange positions with Qin Miao.

Moreover, Verstappen had been knocked off the track by Qin Miao and had now fallen to fifth place. Qin Miao and Leclerc had enough time to exchange positions again.

And this is indeed the case. The speed of exchanging positions even exceeded everyone's imagination. After leaving T16 and coming to the starting straight, Qin Miao and Leclerc had already exchanged positions with each other.

And at this time there were only 7 laps left until the end of the race.

There are two drivers ahead of Verstappen.

Let’s not talk about how Russell defends Verstappen, but at least Norris won’t make the same mistake as when he was overtaken by Verstappen just now.

After all, there are very few opportunities in life for you to make a choice again. When Norris got this opportunity, he naturally chose to keep a podium.

In fact, after arriving here, Qin Miao already knew who would win the championship of this race.

There is a high probability that I will win the championship.

Qin Miao can now run as far as he can, and there is a high probability that Pan Zi will not be able to catch up with him in the remaining time.

Even if he caught up with him, it wouldn't be long before the end of the race, so it wouldn't be difficult for him to stop Verstappen.

But Leclerc helped Qin Miao so much in this game.

Verstappen really couldn't catch up with Qin Miao in the rest of the race, but he had the possibility to catch up with Leclerc and overtake him.

Qin Miao is not an ungrateful person, not to mention that Leclerc is his good friend and helped him a lot in this race.

It is reasonable and Qin Miao would help Leclerc to secure second place if he is able.

So Qin Miao did not run freely, but continued to pull the tailwind for Leclerc so that he could eat the meat himself. At least his good brother should also have some minced meat, right?
Therefore, under the leadership of Qin Miao, Leclerc continued to suck on Qin Miao's DRS and soon reached the 55th lap.

At this time, all the fans at the scene had already started to get excited one lap in advance. It felt a bit like the last lap of the sprint race, when Qin Miao was about to win the championship, except that the emotions brewing among the fans at this time were more intense and turbulent than then, and the time of excitement was also earlier.

At this time, Verstappen had already surpassed Russell, but facing Norris, who was determined to keep a podium and didn't want to ask for more, Verstappen really had no way out.

In the last lap, Qin Miao was still providing DRS to Leclerc.

However, when Qin Miao and Leclerc arrived at the overtaking point T14 together and the fans at the scene began to celebrate by opening champagne in advance, Leclerc actually slowed down in advance.

After all, the high-speed curve T16 is not an overtaking point, so Leclerc, who slowed down in advance, was not worried that Norris behind him would overtake him.

Not to mention, Norris was entangled by Verstappen at this time, and the time gap between him and Leclerc was 0.9 seconds.

Finally, amid the overwhelming enthusiasm and cheers of the fans on the scene, Qin Miao and his car crossed the finish line and won the championship of the 1 F2024 World Formula One Grand Prix Chinese Grand Prix.

"Let us congratulate Qin Miao!" On the Five Star Sports side, the three commentators were even choked up at this time.

Brother Bing shouted in a hoarse voice: "At the same time, Qin Miao also became the first Chinese driver in the history of the race to win a race, the first Chinese driver to win a pole tu win, and the first Chinese driver to win a sprint race and a race pole tu win."

"In one race, Qin Miao once again created countless historical records. From this moment on, the history of Chinese F1 has stepped onto a new level!"

Zhou Haoran trembled as he said, "History will remember this young man who shines like the sun! He has waited for three years on the F1 track! In these three years, he has impressed a large number of fans with his talent, and today! He finally brought his talent back to his motherland and won the sprint and race championships on the land of his motherland. Although we can no longer count how many groundbreaking records this driver from China has created in the history of F1, I believe that all fans will remember this moment like me, because I believe this is the beginning of our Chinese F1 history! There will be a more glorious era waiting for us in the near future!"

……

"Ahhhh~!!!"

After crossing the finish line, Qin Miao celebrated wildly in his car: "I did it! I did it! I did it!"

"Well done Qin Miao." Vasseur also inserted into Qin Miao's team TR at this time: "You have become the first driver in your country to win the home Grand Prix at home. From this moment on, you are the legend of your country's F1!"

The fans at the scene were even more excited than Qin Miao himself, and they were shouting Qin Miao's name crazily.

Soon the sound gathered into one, like waves in a storm. The sound waves formed by the fans' shouts of Qin Miao hit everything at the scene one after another.

It was as if it was going to blow away the semi-open dome of the stands.

All the people on the Ferrari side hugged each other. The victory of this game was very important to Ferrari itself, not to mention that after this game, the influence of the Ferrari brand in China would surge.

It is worth mentioning that after Qin Miao won the championship, the live broadcast camera also gave to Toto Wolff of the Mercedes team.

In today's game, Hamilton and Russell's performances were not good. Logically speaking, Toto Wolff should not be in a good mood at this time.

But Toto in the broadcast camera was smiling and applauding Qin Miao's victory in today's game.

When the camera returned to the track again, Qin Miao received a national flag from a Matthew at the scene when passing by the T1 Matthew entrance.

Qin Miao controlled his steering wheel with one hand and held the red flag with the other, and completed the entire return lap amid the enthusiastic cheers of all the fans at the scene.

The Shanghai station's main race is different from the qualifying and sprint races. After the race, the drivers park their cars on the track.

Qin Miao also drove his car to the starting grid where there was an obvious signboard No. 1.

Qin Miao came here very quickly this time. After all, Qin Miao was too excited and forgot to interact with the fans at the scene. He drove here at full speed, so this time Qin Miao was the first driver to arrive here, just like his ranking in this race.

The fans in the main grandstand area were tirelessly shouting Qin Miao's name wave after wave, as if they wanted to engrave Qin Miao's name directly into the deepest part of their minds.

After parking the car, Qin Miao held the national flag high in his right hand and climbed out of his car amid waves of cheers from the fans.

Even after standing on his racing car, Qin Miao was so excited that he slipped and almost lost his balance.

But Qin Miao finally managed to steady himself and stood firmly on the Ferrari No. 66.

On the contrary, Qin Miao, who was standing on the racing car, no longer had the excitement he had just had before crossing the finish line. Instead, Qin Miao had a satisfied smile on his face. He opened his arms and slightly closed his eyes to the fans who were shouting his name like a tsunami, enjoying their cheers.

Seeing Qin Miao's performance, the fans at the scene shouted Qin Miao's name louder and louder.

It was not until Qin Miao jumped out of the car holding the national flag that the noise became a little quieter, but the fans at the scene continued to shout Qin Miao's name over and over again, as if they never knew what tiredness was.

After jumping off the racing car, Qin Miao placed the national flag in his hand neatly on the front nose of the car, then knelt on his knees facing the car and knocked his own car directly.

Qin Miao's actions also moved the fans at the scene.

This was followed by warm cheers and applause.

After bowing, Qin Miao picked up the national flag from the racing car again, draped it over himself, and walked towards the crowd of the Ferrari team.

At this time, the Ferrari team staff were huddled together on the side of the track, because this race was not only a victory for Qin Miao alone, but also a great victory for Ferrari.

Almost everyone in the Ferrari team has arrived at the track.

When Qin Miao came over with the national flag draped over his shoulders, two red flags were suddenly erected in the Ferrari team that had been prepared for a long time.

One side is the Ferrari team flag, and the other side is Qin Miao’s national flag.

Amid the waving of two flags, Qin Miao rushed into the crowd of Ferrari drivers, and the crowd soon formed a group and began to celebrate wildly.

Even after celebrating for a while, the other Ferrari staff who were squeezed to the back followed the fans at the scene and began to shout Qin Miao's name rhythmically in the excitement.

After celebrating vigorously, Qin Miao left the Ferrari crowd and came to the edge of the crowd.

At this time, Qin Miao's wife and daughter were standing there, and both girls were looking at Qin Miao.

Qin Miao opened his arms to his wife and daughter from a distance. When they came in front of him, Qiu Meng hugged the little one and threw herself into Qin Miao's arms.
