However, at the beginning of the qualifying race, Qin Miao's car was not the old set of soft tires, but a set of old hard tires.

At this time, the tires were still in good condition, and they were about 10% off.

The main reason for using this set of tires is that Qin Miao's set of soft tires has undergone a long-distance test and two high-intensity use of flight laps, although the current grip is still stronger than that of hard tires, but it can't last a few laps.

So let's let Qin Miao take this set of hard tires and make an effective lap on the track first.

Wait for the qualifying race to end, have more tire rubber on the track, and have better grip, and then let Qin Miao change to the old soft tires to rush.

Luo Xin gave Qin Miao a strong autonomy and trust, and it was impossible for ordinary drivers to put forward an idea like him, and the team immediately formulated a strategic policy for the next race according to his ideas.

Qin Miao changed into hard tires and drove onto the track.

Because Qin Miao used not only old hard tires in qualifying, but also old hard tires that ran ten laps, this kind of tire choice that was very different from others quickly attracted the footage of the live director.

In the five-star sports live broadcast room, the three commentators were also a little surprised after seeing the white rims on Qin Miao's tires that represented hard tires.

Phineas: "This? Did Qin Miao use hard tires in the qualifying race? ”

Zhou Haoran, who has the driver's tire data, immediately lowered his head to observe, and waited until he got the official exact data before answering: "Qin Miao not only uses hard tires, but also hard tires that have run ten laps during the practice race." ”

Brother Bing: "Prema should have its own tactics to change the hard tires." ”

Phineas: "You can't just want to keep a new set of soft tires for the sprint race, right?" The Red Bull Rings don't wear out the tires severely, but it's still a bit far-fetched to run a full sprint race on a set of soft tires. ”

Then the three commentators chatted more deeply about Qin Miao's tire choice, but it was not difficult to judge from their words that they didn't think that Qin Miao would risk running the entire sprint race with a set of tires.

On the other side, Qin Miao, who had already driven onto the track, did not see Zhou Guanyu behind him this time, if he saw him, Qin Miao would definitely let Zhou Guanyu over, and then eat a wave of Zhou Guanyu's wake when he flew circle.

Since there was no help from external forces, Qin Miao naturally knew that he would rely on himself in the future.

During the warm-up lap, Qin Miao drew the dragon left and right to heat up the tires of his racing car as quickly as possible, and at the same time moved his hand muscles.

Unlike F1, F2 cars do not have a steering power system, and the Red Bull Ring is a high-speed and high-G-force track, and to do lap times on this track, you must first have enough strength to maintain the stability of the steering wheel when cornering at high speed in order to talk about the problem of lap speed.

Soon, Qin Miao came to T9.

Qin Miao slightly controlled his speed, and only after the F2 car in front of him was at least four seconds away from him did Qin Miao start to accelerate.

When the T10 came out, Qin Miao had already begun to push forward with all his might.

If there is a camera at the yellow shoulder of the T10 bend at this time, you will find that when Qin Miao crossed this bend, the tire almost brushed the bulging shoulder, and there was even a shallow mark on the side rubber of the tire.

From this, we can know how extreme Qin Miao's control over the car is now.

Crossing the finish line and the DRS detection area after the finish line at full throttle, the first flight lap of Qin Miao's F2 career began at this moment.

Entering T1, the left front wheel eats as much as possible on the shoulder of T1's entry corner, expanding its track as it enters the apex of Turn 1.

Then it was like T10 like the right front wheel card limit pressed on the top shoulder of T1, after the apex began to give oil, the car in the aerodynamics and tire grip under the effect of the speed out of the corner, out of T1 as Qin Miao taught Zhou Guanyu in general, the left front wheel and the left rear wheel were riding on the yellow sausage shoulder, but did not cross, but ran on the sausage shoulder until the corner.

Then out of T1 to open DRS full sprint.

Qin Miao used low downforce tuning in this qualifying race, which basically adjusted all the aerodynamic packages of the car to the mode with the lowest resistance.

After full throttle passed through the T2, which lacked a sense of presence, Qin Miao drove up a section of uphill section.

Whether it's in a game or on live TV, the audience doesn't know much about the height of the slope because of the medium, and it doesn't feel so real.

However, it was actually an uphill section of nearly 30°, and the rider could clearly feel at least 2 G's of pressure coming down the road at high speeds.

Passing T2 and entering the 2nd Timing Segment, it is also the 2nd DRS checkpoint on the track, the highest point of the track, and the entrance to the most overtaking corners.

Apply the brakes about 10 meters before the 50-meter sign, and the left tire eats about half of the shoulder.

Because it is a low-speed bend with an uphill right turn, the conventional outside and inside corners do not have much advantage here, but there is a possibility that the difference in the center of the T3 bend is too large and the car chassis will be injured.

So this bend Qin Miao did not cut the center of the corner, but took a wider line as much as possible in order to get more speed after the corner.

After exiting the corner, go straight through the second section of the DRS inspection point, go all the way to T4 after passing a large straight road with full throttle, the left tire is still pressed on half of the shoulder, and after the 50-meter sign, trace the brake into the corner, if the angle of the corner is good enough, you don't need to step on the brake and accelerator in the corner, and completely rely on the potential energy of the car itself to cross the corner.

The T4 shoulder after the exit is smooth enough to make the most of the width of the track here to get enough speed out of the corner.

The next 5-7 turns are relatively simple, and the way to turn after taking the line is not to brake, but to release the throttle.

It's just that because of the hard tires used by Qin Miao, the grip is not as strong as the soft tires, so T7 stepped on the brakes slightly.

At the same time, when he passed T7, he also entered the third time section, and when Qin Miao walked out of this section, he really felt that the weight from his steering wheel exceeded ten kilograms.

After entering T8, eat as much as possible on the outside shoulder of T8, this place can be four wheels out of the white line, but not on gravel.

It's not that there will be a time penalty or cancellation of the qualifying results after pressing on the gravel ground, but that the car is prone to lose control after pressing on the gravel ground......

After getting out of the T8, I climbed at full throttle and then came to the T9.

The exit of T9 is the third section of the DRS inspection area, and the right side is the entrance to the maintenance area.

This corner is the standard way to turn outside and outside, if it is a soft tyre, you don't even need to apply the brakes here, just rely on the inertia and the speed of the car itself.

But Qin Miao is different, he uses hard tires, so even if the T9 is finished on the shoulder of the race, the left tire is almost pressed to the green paint next to it, and when cornering, he still brings a little brake so as not to rush out of the track at the exit of T9.

It then descends to the final T10.

Qin Miao's cornering was just like the beginning of the flight lap, turning inside and out, and the tires brushed against the bulge of the shoulder.

Turn on DRS after exiting the corner and cross the finish line at full speed.

As Qin Miao's red car sped by, Luo Xin, who was looking at the data on the Ferrari command podium, focused on the data representing Qin Miao's lap time 1:15:010, temporarily ranking first.

Although I know that this result is because many drivers have not yet started to exert their strength, Qin Miao's ability to make such a result in qualifying will indeed make Luo Xin and them proud and excited.

After running this lap, Qin Miao didn't continue to run, although his set of hard tires was far from the cliff point of the tires and began to fail, but the extreme speed that this set of tires could run out of was like this, no matter how hard Qin Miao picked out the details, he would be able to increase it by about 0.1 seconds at most.

And Qin Miao has no fuel in the tank, so he has to go back to refuel, and then see if he has anything to improve here, and then change to that set of old soft tires to make the last flight lap.

Not to mention anything else, as long as Qin Miao was able to run to the first place among the F2 drivers with red tires with hard tires, anyone who saw it had to say: "Awesome." ”

When Qin Miao returned to the pit, the other drivers were still running on the track, and he was the only one in the entire pit lane to go back at this time.

Even after parking the car in the pit area, Qin Miao jumped out of his car and ran to Rosin and Frankie, who borrowed the Ferrari command platform, to see the difference between his telemetry data and the practice test.

Seriously, in the past, F2 had never seen a player like Qin Miao who was a little off the line, and he got off the car directly before the race was finished.

So Qin Miao also earned a lot of TV broadcast footage along the way.

Qin Miao had been in the pit lane until there were three minutes left before the end of qualifying, and after this time of waiting, the track was already in the best condition.

Qin Miao, who had already changed into that set of old soft tires, drove back out of the track, ready to complete the last flight lap of his qualifying race.

At this time, Qin Miao's fastest lap has been taken by Zhou Guanyu, and Zhou Guanyu's speed is 1:14:748, which is 0.262 seconds faster than Qin Miao's speed.

It is worth mentioning that Qin Miao's achievements at the beginning are still ranked third.

The grip of the soft tyres is better than that of the hard tyres, and you have to loosen the throttle slightly or press the brakes to get through the corners when running on the hard tyres.

After changing to soft tires, you don't need to close the throttle or apply the brakes.

Moreover, after changing to soft tires, you can route more aggressively, and you don't have to worry about tire locking when cornering, and you don't have to worry about the idling and slipping of the rear wheels when you give oil earlier.

After a lap of running, Qin Miao's score came to 1:14:601, and he came to the first place again, squeezing Zhou Guanyu down.

And after this lap, although there is still some time to do another flying lap, Qin Miao's set of tires has already been used by Qin Miao for three flying laps.

Originally, the soft tires were not so durable, Qin Miao first ran seven laps of long-distance testing with this set of soft tires, then ran two flight laps in the practice race with this set of soft tires, and now ran a flight lap with all his sprint.

Although relying on Qin Miao's skills, the speed of this set of soft tires is still faster than that of hard tires, but the grip has begun to decline, and there is no way to refresh the lap speed that Qin Miao has made now.

So Qin Miao drove the car back to room P while avoiding the racing car on the track that was doing flying circles.

Anyway, he has done everything that should be done, and the next thing is to resign himself to fate.

And just as Qin Miao drove back to room P, Zhou Guanyu made a score of 1:14:416 when there was still a minute before the end of the practice match, and snatched the pole position from Qin Miao's hand.

Even if Qin Miao, who was returning to the field, heard the news, it would be too late, because he had already driven into the white line area of the pit lane lane, and he would be punished if he ran out of here.

Moreover, Qin Miao knew that it was Zhou Guanyu who snatched the pole position from his own hands, and then he had no idea of continuing to compete with Zhou Guanyu, Zhou Guanyu took the pole position very well.

After the end of the qualifying round, the specific rankings are as follows:

First: Zhou Guanyu: 1:14:416.

Second: Qin Miao: +0.185.

Third: Drugovic: +0.464

The small fish and shrimp in the back are not counted, and there are no points to take anyway.

After seeing this result, I was happy to sit in the studio and broadcast the three commentators of this qualifying match live.

Not only did I feel the dominance of the two Chinese drivers who won one or two places in the F2 qualifying race, but I also saw the two drivers compete in the qualifying stage.

This is a huge surprise for the three commentators, and from the data from Zhou Haoran, it can be known that Qin Miao's final speed is made with a set of soft tires that have been used for eleven laps.

This means that if Qin Miao uses a new set of soft tires, this pole position is likely to be Qin Miao's.

What does this mean? Qin Miao, this is a genius! A true racing genius.

At the same time, many viewers who follow F2 are also very happy.

Qin Miao and Zhou Guanyu's excellent performance in the Red Bull Ring seemed to inject a shot of strength into their hearts, and in their expectations, a new historical moment would be born tomorrow.

For example, the first Chinese driver to reach the top podium in F2 is the first time that two Chinese drivers have appeared on the podium in F2 at the same time.

Thinking of this, those F1 fans who are looking forward to the emergence of F1 drivers in China can be described as tossing and turning, unable to sleep at night.

In addition to these people, Qin Miao's mother who was guarding the computer screen, Qiu Meng, who was already sweating with her little hands in the P room, hung up a projector in her small shop, and invited a bunch of friends who also like F1 to watch the F2 race together, as well as Yu Jialiang, who had an intersection with Qin Miao, and the classmates who knew that Qin Miao had gone abroad to run F2.

After seeing Qin Miao's performance, there would be some expressions on his face that were more or less happy, proud, happy, excited, jealous, stunned, or honored.

……

Unlike F1, there are no pole-position tyres to be issued after a race in F1.

After qualifying, all the F2 teams packed up their stuff and made room for the F1 teams, because in an hour they were going to start their second practice.

After Qin Miao stopped the car, he was directly surrounded by Luo Xin, Frankie, and Sui Wentao, who had been waiting for a long time.

Although he already has a psychological expectation of Qin Miao's strength, he has also seen Qin Miao's terrifying dominance in the practice stage, and he also knows that Qin Miao's ability to protect the tire is relatively against the sky, even if he uses the old soft tires, he has a great possibility to get a good result.

At that time, the expectation was to at least use that set of old red tires to get a fifth or sixth place, after all, the speed loss of the old soft tires was too great, but they never expected Qin Miao to give them a big surprise.

And if it weren't for Zhou Guanyu's super-godlike performance in the final stage, Qin Miao would really have relied on a set of old soft tires to win the first place in the qualifying stage.

So after Qin Miao got out of the car, they all gathered around Qin Miao, celebrating a little excitedly.

After a brief celebration with the team members, they began to work intensely again.

And Qin Miao turned around and went to Zhou Guanyu's team, after all, his good friend won the pole position in the first race of this year, although this pole position was snatched from his head, but in any case, Qin Miao was still sincerely happy for Zhou Guanyu, and was ready to go over to congratulate the other party.

Tonight was a dinner for Zhou Guanyu, after all, he had just snatched the pole position from himself and also snatched his own two points.

When Qin Miao came to Zhou Guanyu's team, he had just parked his car in the maintenance area.

After all, Qin Miao drove the car back to the pit lane before the qualifying session was over, and it was not difficult to understand that Zhou Guanyu came back late.

After Zhou Guanyu celebrated with his crew members, Qin Miao walked over.

"I'm sorry, I'm 0.2 seconds better than you, I'll pay attention next time." Zhou Guanyu also greeted Qin Miao after seeing him coming, but how could Qin Miao feel so unpleasant about the words in his mouth.

Qin Miao rolled her eyes, if it weren't for Lao Tzu deliberately leaving an extra set of soft tires for the sprint race, it would be your turn to be presumptuous with me?

The race strategy of the sprint race and the main race is a team secret, and it is indeed an indisputable fact that Zhou Guanyu is faster than Qin Miao today, so Qin Miao didn't say anything, just nodded helplessly, and then the two shook hands with each other and hugged each other.

"You kid is really awesome, buddy admit it today." Qin Miao spoke: "But you just wait during the game, you see how I defend you." ”

This is a warning from the top gate who has systematically determined that the defensive ability has reached 100 points.

Hearing Qin Miao's words, Zhou Guanyu remembered some not-so-good memories of the time when Qin Miao lived in his house, and when the two played simulators together.

There is a saying on the football field, there is no hurdle that cannot be passed, only Kante who cannot be passed.

And Zhou Guanyu also realized a truth during that time, if Qin Miao doesn't want you to be super, no matter how much you try to find a crack behind his ass, you can't find a crack that can be super.

Qiu Meng, who was sitting on the sidelines playing CSGO, stared at Zhou Guanyu suspiciously for a while when he heard this, and then threatened: "You'd better really talk about racing ......"

Recalling Qiu Meng's eyes that almost wanted to choose someone, Zhou Guanyu couldn't help but shudder.

Then he reacted suddenly, and a smile like a spring breeze suddenly appeared on his face that was full of trembling just now: "Brother Miao, who are we with, just joking, don't take it to heart." ”

Qin Miao hugged his chest with both hands: "My pole position is gone." ”

Zhou Guanyu understood in seconds: "I'll ask you tonight, hehehe." ”

……

After a few rounds of pulling the calves, the two drivers went back to their team's makeshift room.

Although Qin Miao's performance was very good, in the period after the qualifying round, Qin Miao was still pulled by Luo Xin to review today's qualifying match.

But it is not so much that Rosin is helping Qin Miao to review, but that Rosin is using Qin Miao's results to put pressure on Mick Schumacher, who belongs to the same team as Qin Miao.

Because the two drivers of the team were present at the time of the resumption, but Rosin simply watched the video of Qin Miao's qualifying session, and then began to publicly execute Mick Schumacher.

It can't be said to be a punishment, they just show Mick's car footage for the crew to see, and point out Mick's mistakes.

What really hurts the heart is that while pointing out the mistakes in Mick's video, they also put aside Qin Miao's qualifying lap car footage for comparison.

When I was a child, my academic performance was not very good, but when I met relatives, friends, or neighbors who had better grades, I could probably understand this feeling of Mick at this time.

And when Luo Xin was spitting, Qin Miao involuntarily began to wander outside the object, there was no way that Qin Miao knew what Luo Xin said, otherwise he would not have been able to run so well with a set of old soft tires.

Luo Xin's position could actually easily find that Qin Miao was wandering, because there was a clear difference between listening carefully and being in a daze's eyes and facial expressions, but Luo Xin didn't care.

Qin Miao is tired of qualifying, so relax during the meeting at this time, what's the problem?

And Sui Wentao, who was sitting next to Qin Miao, suddenly poked Qin Miao.

When Qin Miao looked over, he motioned for Qin Miao to turn his head to look at Mick.

Looking over his head, Qin Miao knew how smelly the stinky face that Sui Wentao had told him last time about Mick.

Thankfully, the sentence for Mick's public execution was not too long, at just half an hour, before Rossing lifted the page and gave the two drivers a detailed description of the tactics that the team's strategy team was going to carry out in the race tomorrow.

Qin Miao started on soft tires, tried his best to kill Zhou Guanyu at the starting stage, gained the leading position, and then used his advantage in long-distance rhythm to open up the gap, and then maintained his rhythm until the end of the race.

If Zhou Guanyu can't be brought away, Qin Miao will use his defensive ability to defend his position as much as possible.

There are several different scenarios for other situations.

Mick's starting tires were the same as Qin Miao's, and he was in sixth place at the end of qualifying.

Although the third row is really not slow, compared with his teammate Qin Miao, Mick has a lot of room for improvement.

Rosin's expectation for Mick in this race is only to get the podium, while Qin Miao is to fight for one.

That was the end of Prema Racing's pre-race meeting, and everyone went their separate ways to rest.
