After making a fuss, Qin Miao was kicked by Zhou Guanyu on the buttocks, and after Zhou Guanyu received another slap on the head, the matter passed.

After all, the race is going to be in a while, and it will be a bit worth the loss to continue at this time, so the two returned to their respective cars.

When everything was ready, it was almost time for the practice session to begin.

"Radio test, can you hear me?"

"Hmm...... It's clear. Frankie, turn off the music. ”

“…… Good. Frankie turned off the music in Qin Miao's headphones, and then said, "The countdown to the start of the practice match: 3, 2, 1...... Begin! ”

Hearing Frankie's voice, Qin Miao started the engine of his car, while Sui Wentao walked quickly to the side of the track, observed the road conditions and signaled Qin Miao not to drive first, because many cars had already lined up at the exit of the pit lane before the practice session started, and the traffic at the exit was a little congested at this time.

Although he saw Qin Miao's talent, he was a newcomer after all, and Sui Wentao was worried that Qin Miao would make him nervous when he went to the traffic at this time.

So the car was released a little bit late.

Coincidentally, when Sui Wentao released the car, Zhou Guanyu was also released by his convoy, and he happened to be behind Qin Miao's car.

After Qin Miao saw Zhou Guanyu's helmet with blue and white porcelain elements in the rearview mirror, she suddenly felt a phantom pain in her buttocks.

However, after Qin Miao drove into the track and began to accelerate, Qin Miao had no extra thoughts about some messy things.

As if the moment he came out of the maintenance area, he turned on some switch on Qin Miao's body, and the distracting thoughts in Qin Miao's mind were eliminated at this moment, and the whole person instantly entered a state of extreme concentration.

At this time, Franky's voice came from the TR: "Familiarize yourself with the track in the first two laps, wait for the third lap for a total of 7 laps of long-distance testing, then go back to the pit lane and change to a set of soft tyres to test the long-distance wear of the soft tyres, go back to the garage in the last ten minutes of the practice session to drain the oil, and test the qualifying speed with the old soft tyres, this is what we arranged for today."

Is there anything else you'd like to add? ”

"No, help me keep an eye on the traffic on the track." Qin Miao's voice at this time was very calm, even a little cold, compared to the usual tone of Qin Miao's speech, it could be said that it was like two people.

Frankie didn't pay much attention to it, he thought it was caused by the clutter of TR's electronics.

In the first three laps of the track, Qin Miao mainly experimented with some of the things he learned when he walked the track with Zhou Guanyu yesterday, to see if he could use these skills in the test in the test after a while with today's track conditions.

Three laps of time was enough for Qin Miao to memorize all these things.

At the end of the third lap, Qin Miao began the long-distance test.

This stage is mainly to test Qin Miao's speed and tire performance over long distances when driving an F2 car with heavy fuel loads.

Then in the second lap of the long-distance test, Qin Miao brushed three sections of purple, time 1:17:001, and temporarily went to the first place in the practice round.

That's at least 0.4 seconds faster than even those who started the lap on the soft tyres.

If Frankie was so clear and happy after seeing Qin Miao's achievement, Rosin, the leader of the Prema Racing team who was sitting next to him, breathed a sigh of relief, as if he wanted to spit out all the depression, worries and negative emotions in his heart.

At this moment, Luo Xin had a sense of security when Qin Miao took Qiu Meng to redeem the prize and saw the cash into his bank account.

Luo Xin's feeling during this time is similar to Qin Miao at the beginning, knowing that Qin Miao is very strong, and has also confirmed Qin Miao's strength through many internal tests and real car tests, but Qin Miao has never been to the arena after all, and no one knows what kind of performance Qin Miao, who is invincible in training matches and tests, is in the real arena.

Luo Xin's heart will always be a little apprehensive and unsteady, coupled with the recent occurrence of this kind of major event that has swept the world, external pressure and internal pressure have made his whole person's nerves a little tense, and the whole person is physically and mentally exhausted for a long time.

But now it's different, Qin Miao's performance in the practice match has truthfully fulfilled his due talent.

On the other side, in Ferrari's large red motorhome, Ferrari driver Mattia Binotto and technical director Simone Resta both sit in what resembles a meeting room.

However, the two of them were the only ones in the conference room where meetings usually take place, and they were not discussing anything, but staring at the TV screen in the conference room, which was playing Formula 2 practice.

……

After Qin Miao on the track completed the seven-lap long-distance test of the hard tyres, he twice refreshed the lap record he made on the second lap, and now the fastest lap was brought to 1:16:607 by Qin Miao, and the fastest speed in the three sections was made by Qin Miao.

"Okay, the test is complete, the data is very good, the effect has exceeded our expectations, go back to the garage first."

Qin Miao returned to the maintenance area as he said.

However, Qin Miao did not stop, but changed to a set of soft tires and then drove onto the track to test the degradation of the soft tires on this track.

In the command stand of the pit lane, Rosin and Frankie looked at the telemetry data that Qin Miao had run down in the past seven laps and fell silent.

Because Mick drove out of the pit area faster than Qin Miao, he had already changed the hard tire test and started another round of testing before Qin Miao came back, so at this time, the two of them had Mick's data here.

The data shows that Qin Miao's fuel consumption is 7% less than Mick's, and his tire loss is 20% less than Mick's......

If these data can be done by other drivers as long as they run conservatively, then Qin Miao's terrifying data of 0.3 seconds faster than Mick per lap while having this kind of loss clearly puts the dividing line between geniuses and mortals in front of the two people who saw this data.

This kind of data appears in the comparison of teammates with teammates, which we generally refer to as this:

Hanging.

In the next test of soft tires, Qin Miao's speed was faster, and he broke his lap record in the first lap, and when he finished all seven laps, the fastest speed came to 1:15:919.

However, Qin Miao was broken by someone after completing this lap, which is normal, because Qin Miao is using this set of tires on the one hand with the rhythm of the long distance of the race, and there is at least 50% of the oil on his car, so he can run fast before he can ghost.

The good news is that Qin Miao has completed all of his long-distance tests today, and Frankie has obtained Qin Miao's tire wear data on this track, and based on these data, he began to formulate a tire use strategy for the next two days of sprint and race.

At the same time, Qin Miao returned to the garage and released part of the fuel in his car, leaving only enough fuel for Qin Miao to run five laps, and then released Qin Miao to make a flying lap.

Qin Miao didn't run long, because of traffic and time, Qin Miao only ran two flight laps before the end of the practice race, and Qin Miao made 1:14:295 in the first flight lap.

And the speeding lap behind was blocked by the slow car, Qin Miao knew that he was blocked, and he lost at least 0.2 seconds, and he knew that he could no longer refresh the fastest lap he created after missing these 0.2 seconds, so Qin Miao gave up and slowly drove the car back to the pit area.

And in the TR, he cordially greeted the Russian driver named Ma Zeping in Chinese.

"Did you fucking get your eyeballs eaten by dogs? Eyes don't need to be donated to those who need them! If you don't know how to drive, you can go home and play with your TMD Nako, you can't see such a big car coming from behind you, right? Don't fucking let me catch you, catch you, I'll give you a spot in the rearview mirror, QNM stupid thing! ”

It is worth mentioning that because Qin Miao's words were said in Chinese, no one could understand them, and of course, the director did not release this passage.

The first practice session of the 2020 F2 season ended after Qin Miao returned to the pit lane, and Qin Miao ranked first with a speed of 1:14:295.

Yuki Tsunoda was in second place with a speed of 0.91 seconds slower than Qin Miao.

Zhou Guanyu was one second slower than Qin Miao, ranking third.

As for Qin Miao's teammate Mick...... This person is in nineteenth, and his lap time is a full 2.5 seconds slower than Qin Miao......

However, this is just a practice race, and the lap time can be seen for fun, but basically it does not have much reference value.

After a practice, the drivers and crews of the various F2 teams packed up their belongings and evacuated from the pits.

Next is the first practice of F1, and they can't block the door of the F1 team's P room to affect the highlight of this Grand Prix.

After Qin Miao and his crew members didn't have time to watch the F1 race, they packed up their things and hurried back to their team's P room, and the two teams of the Prema team got together for a meeting.

Rosin didn't say anything about Mick's slow car, but explained to the crew members the precautions for qualifying in the future, and cheered the crew members on.

After a brief rope twisting meeting, Qin Miao and his crew members returned to their P room and began to inspect the car.

Naturally, there was no problem in this inspection, although Qin Miao drove fast, his driving style was soft, and he didn't need a car, and the wear and tear of the vehicle caused by a practice match was very small.

During the F1 practice session, Qin Miao rested for a while, replenished some water, and took time to play games for a while, and the time soon came to the F2 qualifying session.

It's still the same process, pushing the car, pulling the tires and running to the door of the P room in the maintenance area with the tire changing equipment to prepare.

After a hectic preparation period, the start of qualifying is approaching.

Although today is Friday and she still needs to go to work in the morning, Qin Miao's mother took a rare leave today, recalling the method that Qiu Meng taught herself, hung up the VPN, opened the official website of F2, and called up the live broadcast interface.

Although she is usually in a free-range state regardless of her son, this is her son after all, and today is his first competition, no matter how important things are, she will not miss this opportunity.

Soon he found Qin Miao's name among a number of English abbreviations, after all, QIN, the three words that look Chinese pinyin, are still quite conspicuous among the abbreviations of a group of foreigners.

……

At the same time, the famous five-star sports among the F1 fan group also started the live broadcast ahead of schedule today.

However, unlike in the past, they did not show the opening promotional film of F1, but F2.

After the Formula 1 Theme, which is exclusive to F2, finished playing, the three presenters of Five Star Sports appeared on the TV screen.

After the live broadcast began, the host Brother Bing opened his mouth and began to greet the audience in front of the TV: "Good morning audience friends, welcome to watch the first stop of the 2020 Formula 1 Grand Prix, Austria Station Mat Race: Formula 2 Qualifying Live Broadcast brought to you by Five Star Sports, I am Brother Bing." ”

"I'm Phineas."

"I'm Zhou Haoran."

Just when all the viewers were wondering why the five-star poisoned milk started live so early, and the content of the live broadcast was not F1 but F2, Brother Bing explained:

"We all know that there is another Chinese driver in F2, and after our internal discussions, we will also start to broadcast the F2 qualifying and two sprint races and the main race from today to cheer for the two young Chinese drivers."

Fei Ge added: "The two Chinese drivers who are fighting in F2 are Zhou Guanyu and Qin Miao, Zhou Guanyu was born on May 30, 1999 and is 21 years old this year. And Qin Miao was born on March 7, 2001 and is 19 years old this year. ”

When introducing the two drivers, the director also thoughtfully put the headshots of the two in racing suits on the screen at the back of the studio.

Later, a few poisonous nurses from Five Star Sports chatted about the details of the two drivers, and then shifted the topic to the F2 practice session that had already been completed.

Soon, with the notice of the director, the scene was given to the field.

The first shot is the exit of the pit lane at the Red Bull Ring, and at a glance there are at least a dozen cars crowded into the exit position, just to have a relatively good space to do lap times in the next qualifying process.

As the green light came on at the exit of the pits, cars gradually drove out of the pits.

And Qin Miao and Zhou Guanyu were still not in a hurry, and only after the people in the maintenance area were almost gone did Qin Miao start the engine and drive the car out.

The current Qin Miao is using the old soft tires he used to brush the ring for long distances just now.

Originally, Luo Xin and Frankie wanted Qin Miao to change to a new set of soft tires, but based on the speed that Qin Miao made during the practice session, it was really very likely to get pole position with a new set of soft tires in qualifying.

The two points from pole position in qualifying are also very good.

But Qin Miao felt that it was unnecessary, he also looked at his tire exhaustion data and knew that he could use soft tires as hard tires.

Qin Miao was confident that she could finish in the top three in the qualifying stage, so she wanted to keep a new set of soft tires to rush forward in the sprint stage.

Anyway, I have the skills, there is no problem with holding soft tires as hard tires, and when the grip of soft tires is matched with the durability of hard tires, and the sprint race will be in the top three, and more than ten points will not be stronger than the two points of your poor pole position in qualifying?

At that time, you can also leave a new set of soft and hard tires in the main race stage, and the outstanding thing is that you don't panic when you have food in your hands.

If you're a little more daring, you might be able to get a podium at the back of the sprint race, and then hold your spot and get a podium in the race.

In the face of Qin Miao's decision and idea, Frankie wanted to refuse, after all, the uncertainty was too high, but Luo Xin verified and calculated it himself to determine the feasibility of this matter, and now the only question is whether Qin Miao can use this old soft tire to make good results in qualifying.
