78: Ferrari Room P
"That's right, it's me." Leclerc smiled and nodded, and then praised sincerely: "Your driving skills are very good, and you are one of the best people I have ever seen playing simulators." ”
In the face of Leclerc's praise, Qin Miao still looked a little stupid.
If you substitute Qin Miao's perspective at this time, you won't feel that Qin Miao's performance is any surprise.
Originally, you just participated in a small game with the idea of having fun, and after a little effort, you won the game, and you were happy, when the person who gave you a lot of pressure suddenly lifted the helmet on his head: didn't expect it? I'm Ferrari's F1 driver Leclerc.
In this case, everyone will have to be confused for a while.
......After slowing down for a while, Qin Miao blurted out a sentence of national quintessence, and then he was a little flattered and shook Leclerc's outstretched hand and said, "I can't believe it's Leclerc who is competing with me." ”
Leclerc replied: "It's a privilege to play against you, and congratulations on beating me to win. ”
At this point, Leclerc pointed to something that looked like a camera and said, "The reward for this little event is that you can be featured in my documentary, and of course you can decline." In addition, another reward was originally to give you a VIP ticket to the Ferrari team, but ......" Speaking of this, Leclerc paused and pointed to the bracelet on Qin Miao's hand, the meaning is already obvious, you Qin Miao is already a VIP of the Ferrari team, and it is useless to give you another one.
"So, I'll give you this helmet of mine." LECLERC PATTED THE WHITE BELL HELMET RESTING ON HIS LAP.
Qin Miao was originally just very surprised that the person who was competing with him was actually Leclerc, but now after Leclerc's reminder, Qin Miao realized that he seemed to have defeated the ...... in the game Leclerc?
"it!" For a while, a feeling of not knowing whether it was a sense of accomplishment or something else filled Qin Miao's heart, and he felt goosebumps all over his body.
However, this feeling did not last long, and soon another surprise was sent by the other party, Leclerc was ready to give himself a helmet he was wearing!
The most important thing is that this helmet will be unique to Qin Miao, to put it shamelessly, this is the trophy he got after defeating Leclerc.
"Thank you, thank you...... Thank you very much. "At present, as a fan of Wofa, being able to compete on the same stage with Leclerc, one of the two Ferrari drivers, on the same simulator, and after the race, he can also get the helmet that the other party wears when he races, Qin Miao has undoubtedly reached the peak of powder life at this moment.
Qin Miao stretched out her hand to take Leclerc's helmet, but the other party did not hand the helmet to Qin Miao immediately, but said, "Wait for me." ”
After saying that, he beckoned to the staff on the side, and the staff handed over a black marker at the right time.
Leclerc quickly signed his name on Qin Miao's helmet.
After signing, Leclerc turned his head and asked Qin Miao, "What's your name?" ”
"Qin Miao."
"Chinese?"
"Yes."
“…… All right. After signing his name and writing another blessing, Leclerc handed the helmet to Qin Miao.
Now this white helmet not only has Leclerc's autograph, but also a blessing written by Leclerc specifically for Qin Miao.
At this moment, Qin Miao knew that he had made a big deal out of it, not to mention anything else, just this helmet could be placed at home.
After giving the helmet away, Leclerc said, "My work here has come to an end, I have to go to the next event, I wish you all a good time at Silverstone~"
Qin Miao hurriedly nodded and said, "Okay, I also wish you can find the training settings you want today." ”
Hearing this ingenious blessing from the young man who had just defeated him, Leclerc looked back at Qin Miao with some surprise, and then said with a smile: "We'll see you in room P then." ”
Qin Miao nodded, and then watched Leclerc leave from the back door surrounded by security guards.
Seeing Leclerc leave, Qin Miao had the leisure to observe the surrounding situation at this time.
After the other party left, Qin Miao began to wonder why Leclerc appeared in such a crowded place with such a crowd of fans, and no fans rushed over to Leclerc to ask for an autograph?
Looking back at Qin Miao, he found that he didn't know when the simulator was surrounded by fans, many of them were Ferrari fans wearing Ferrari clothes, and there was a wall of sighs composed of security guards in front of them at this time, and everyone was blocked out.
It seems that this small event has been officially planned for a long time, and the security measures are so perfect.
It wasn't until Leclerc's departure that the security guards gradually let go of the crowd.
Now that Leclerc is gone, most of the fans turned away with disappointed faces.
Qin Miao only realized at this time that when he was chatting with Leclerc just now, he directly ignored the noise in the crowd behind him.
However, after the security guards let go of the crowd, several people soon came to Qin Miao with some urgency.
One of them got straight to the point and said, "Dude, how about you transfer this Leclerc's signature helmet to me?" I gave out £5,000 in cash. ”
But before he could finish his words, another man came over and said, "I'll pay £6,000!" ”
The person who quoted first looked at the person who immediately quoted with an unhappy face, and quickly turned to Qin Miao and increased the price to 8,000 pounds.
"£10,000!"
……
Inexplicably, the prototype of a small auction appeared in front of Qin Miao.
At present, the price of 10,000 pounds is already very high in Qin Miao's opinion, after all, the money spent by the two of them to play here from China this time is almost that.
Just because he met Leclerc and had a not-so-fierce e-sports match with him, Qin Miao got a helmet, and if he wanted to make a move, all the expenses of participating in the British Grand Prix this time could be directly reimbursed.
Leclerc invited Qin Miao to participate in the British Grand Prix, and the room and board were all-inclusive.
At the same time, the added value of these F1 drivers really made Qin Miao feel deeply shocked.
Is this F1 driver worth five dollars for dandruff?
However, this Leclerc helmet with his name specially signed Qin Miao will not be able to sell it anyway, although Qin Miao will not put this helmet at home to offer, but after returning home, it is certain that it will be carefully protected with an acrylic display case.
Wanyan declined the tourists who came to quote and tried to buy helmets, Qin Miao held the helmet in his arms, pulled Qiu Meng and left the simulation experience area.
After shopping all the way, Qin Miao was also hungry, so she took Qiu Meng to find a restaurant in the paddock and ordered a butter shortbread and barbecue.
To be honest, for people like Qin Miao and Qiu Meng who came out of the food country, the taste can only be regarded as average, barely edible.
After eating something to pad their stomachs, the two of them found a sightseeing car on the road and went to the P room of the team.
Although the F2 practice race has not yet been completed, it won't take long, Qin Miao walked back to the viewing area above the team's P room at this time, and then rested for a while, and the F2 practice race was over.
While watching the race area, Qin Miao and Qiu Meng saw a young man of the same age as them also appear in the competition area, but he appeared as a driver sitting on the F2 car.
Although Qin Miao likes racing, he usually watches F1 races, such as F2 races and players, and he doesn't know much about them.
However, Qin Miao still has a certain curiosity about this driver, who is this buddy? Chinese?
It's a pity that Qin Miao didn't stay in the stands honestly when he practiced F2 just now, and there was no way to get more information through the big screen in the stands.
And now it is time for the F2 team to withdraw, Qin Miao, who is above the P room, can see some F2 team staff pushing small carts out of the P room after a practice, and the F2 cars are also pushed away.
Soon after, the F1 staff poured out of their lounge area with their own bags and opened their P-room, parking their F1 cars into the P-room for the final preparations before the British Grand Prix.
Qin Miao and Qiu Meng also went downstairs at this time, and after showing their bracelets, the two successfully entered Ferrari's P room.
The VIP area where the two of them stayed was very close to the F1 car, which was a baffle behind the F1 car's butt, and behind the baffle was the place where the VIPs watched the game.
At this time, Leclerc and Vettel had not yet arrived, and the car had not yet started, so Qin Miao was curiously observing the facilities inside the F1 team.
A whole bunch of monitors showing professional data charts, a walkie-talkie for each person, and noise-canceling headphones, all of them can run a horse's arm.
Among the many monitors, Qin Miao could not see much about the specific purpose, and Qin Miao also knew nothing about what the Ferrari staff were busy with at this time.
However, soon the Ferrari staff handed Qin Miao and Qiu Meng a red noise-canceling headphones printed with the Ferrari Prancing Horse logo.
Because it was a practice session, other Ferrari VIPs didn't come at all, only Qin Miao and Qiu Meng, two newcomers, wanted to come over to see how the F1 team worked during the practice session because they were curious.
Qin Miao and Qiu Meng didn't know why they wanted to bring headphones, but Qin Miao didn't refuse to come, so I'll put them on if you give them to me.
One thing to say, the effect of these noise-canceling headphones is indeed immediate.
After taking it with you, the decibel level of noise coming from the outside world can be said to be reduced by more than 50% in an instant, and for a moment there is an illusion that the whole world is quiet.
Soon though, the duo's attention drifted away, as they discovered that Ferrari was already preparing to start their car.
I saw a Ferrari staff member pick up a pole with a length of nearly two meters, the front end of this pole has some structures that Qin Miao can't understand, and there is a large motor and control panel at the rear end, and then the Ferrari people poked this pole directly from the rear of the car.
But this is not the end, but only the beginning, because after poking the pole in, a staff member plugged a hose into a gap in the car's engine and began to pour water into it.
Qin Miao was confused, why did she have to add water to start the F1 car? Other mixed liquids cool better than water anyway, right?
However, Qin Miao quickly noticed a detail, the water they added to the car was actually boiling water.
Nowadays, the components of F1 cars are so detailed that they have very little tolerance between parts.
Therefore, the parts and parts are directly bitten together in the cold car state, and there is no way to carry out the so-called cold start.
Only when the temperature of the engine rises and the temperature of the shell rises and expands, will there be enough space between the parts to run freely.
The two watched as a group of Ferrari crew members tossed around the rear of the car for more than half an hour, before a Ferrari crew member ran to the side of the long pole that had been stabbed behind the car's butt and started the motor on the long pole.
With a "boom".
The Ferrari SF90 was finally activated in the midst of a loud noise.
Truth be told, since F1 entered the hybrid era, the audience no longer heard the high-pitched but unique engine roar of the V12 and V10.
But after experiencing it behind the current F1 car, Qin Miao feels that the movement of the current F1 V6 hybrid engine is not small at all, and the sound is not unpleasant, but it is indeed a little less enthusiastic than the V10 of the year.
By the time the SF90 was turned on, everyone in the Ferrari P room had their noise-cancelling headphones on.
Qin Miao took off the corner of her noise-canceling headphones with some curiosity, wanting to feel how noisy it was outside now.
Soon he regretted it, at least 130 decibels of noise directly and rudely drilled into Qin Miao's ears, pricking his eardrums and making his whole body tremble.
Hurriedly put the headphones back on, and now Qin Miao finally knew why all the F1 team staff were wearing noise-canceling headphones when they were fine.
If you don't have a pair of noise-canceling headphones to protect your ears in such a working environment, it will definitely affect your hearing for a long time.
And aside, this loud noise will make people feel upset after listening to it for a long time, and it will definitely not be in working condition after a long time.
Once the car had started, Ferrari crews began to check the car's status in full swing.
They need to ensure that there is no force majeure damage to the vehicle during transportation.
Not long after, there was a sudden commotion at the entrance to the rear of Room P.
Qin Miao looked back and saw a man who was at least 1.9 meters tall, with curly brown hair piled up upwards, and a pair of black round-framed glasses on his nose walking in.
Qin Miao, who often watches F1 races, is no stranger to this person's appearance, he is the Ferrari team leader: Mattia Binotto.
Ferrari fans have always warmly and affectionately referred to Binotto as Binotto.
