119: Five red lights come on
After the meeting ended, Qin Miao sent a WeChat message to Zhou Guanyu.
This is a WeChat re-registered by Qin Miao abroad, and the only friends are his mother, Qiu Meng, Zhou Guanyu, and Boss Zhou, his biggest financier.
And Qin Miao's usual use in China has been handed over to Qiu Meng to take care of.
It's not that Qin Miao is indifferent to his former classmates and friends, it's mainly that Qin Miao now spends most of his time training and studying, and a small part of his rest time is also used by him to play games to relax, and basically has no spare time to reply and deal with interpersonal relationships, but China is a personal society after all, and interpersonal relationships cannot but be maintained.
At this time, Qiu Meng, Qin Miao's agent, has more free time than Qin Miao, and she is more mature and sophisticated than Qin Miao in terms of human sophistication, so she is the most suitable person.
After Qin Miao sent it to Zhou Guanyu on WeChat, the other side quickly replied to Qin Miao, and then sent the address of the meal to Qin Miao.
The three of them went to eat a buffet together, and Qin Miao had gradually forgotten his advice in Lu Bo's absence, although he didn't eat with an open stomach, but basically there was no taboo, and he could show off two bites of anything delicious when he caught it.
When eating, Zhou Guanyu looked at Qin Miao's high-oil, high-calorie food like steak, fried chicken burgers, Coke and the like, and after eating, he also showed off a large box of ice cream as an after-dinner dessert, and his eyes were about to pop out.
"Qin Miao, are you okay?" Zhou Guanyu's eyes were full of shock.
He can understand whether he eats steak or something, after all, the rider's demand for protein is still very high, and beef is a notoriously high-protein food.
But ice cream cola and fried chicken burgers, fried junk food, are natural enemies for athletes, even if he eats a fried chicken wing, he has to repent for a long time, and Qin Miao shows off Zhou Guanyu's usual amount of junk food in a year without changing his face just for one meal, how can this not shock Xiao Zhou.
Of course, Qin Miao didn't explain anything, just wiped her oily mouth and showed Zhou Guanyu a meaningful smile.
Zhou Guanyu didn't understand, but he was shocked.
After returning to the hotel in the evening, Qin Miao went to bed early after taking a shower, and he didn't want to toss too late if he had a race to run tomorrow.
Nothing was said all night.
Qin Miao got up early the next day, and Qiu Meng also got up quite early today.
The two of them cleaned up the room briefly, and then set off for the track.
After arriving at the track, it is a regular preparation, pre-race warm-up, reaction training, concentration training and so on.
Because Lu Bos was not there, Qin Miao came by himself.
Although he has strength, this is after all Qin Miao's first time running a race on an FIA-certified track.
Although there were no spectators at the scene for well-known reasons, Qin Miao also knew that there would be many people watching his game through TV, so Qin Miao was still a little nervous at this time.
My heart began to beat involuntarily, and sweat inevitably appeared in my palms.
However, Qin Miao's nervous state did not last long, under the signal of Frankie, Qin Miao knew that the first round of F3 was over, and in ten minutes they would move the car and equipment to the pit lane to prepare for the start of the F2 race.
After signaling that he had received the signal, Qin Miao took the bag containing his racing uniform and walked into the team locker room.
He took off his casual clothes and put on a layer of sweat-absorbing and close-fitting underneath cushioning jumpsuit, and then put on the red, white and green one-piece suit of Team Prema.
It's hot today, which is good news for the cars, but not for the drivers.
So Qin Miao just put on the pants of the racing suit, and the upper half of Qin Miao tied the sleeves around his waist like he wore a coat when he was a child.
It's easy to do this, and you won't have to put your sleeves next to your body and shake them around while walking, like Vettel did.
After getting dressed, Qin Miao went to the track alone, and at this time, there were many team staff pushing the racing cars, tires, tire changing equipment and tire changing tools in the direction of the pit area and the track.
If you look down at the sky, you can see the crowd rushing to the track like a long queue from the temporary P-room of F2.
By the time he got to the pits, his car had already been pushed onto the track by Sui Wentao and them.
In the pits, he found his own water bottle, in-ear noise-cancelling headphones, sweat-wicking hoods, helmet, as well as gloves and steering wheel.
After taking these equipment, Qin Miao went to the track.
There is a connecting exit between the track and the pit area, but in the middle of the section, Qin Miao has to pass by a lot of cars from here to his car.
At this time, there are still more than ten minutes before the start of the broadcast of F2, which can be regarded as a certain amount of spare time, so Qin Miao was not slow along the way.
When he came to his car, there was no familiar figure in Zhou Guanyu's car in front of Qin Miao's left, and after making sure that Zhou Guanyu was not here, Qin Miao didn't put more energy over there.
Instead, he asked Sui Wentao: "Is it possible to rain in this competition?" ”
Sui Wentao had obviously already read the weather forecast, and after hearing Qin Miao's question, he didn't think about it, and immediately replied: "The probability of rain is less than 15%, and there is basically no possibility of rain during the main competition." ”
Qin Miao nodded clearly.
Then Sui Wentao said: "The car has also been checked for you in advance, and it is in good condition, and then it will be up to you to perform." ”
Qin Miao gave him a thumbs up: "Look, okay, you just." ”
Then taking a sip of the health care potion in the kettle, Qin Miao put all the equipment on his body.
Although the sun is very strong now, it will be very hot after wearing the racing suit, but there are less than 10 minutes left before the start of the race, and the heat will not be hot for long, and Qin Miao saw a red parasol with the Prema team logo stuck in the small cart where Sui Wentao put the tires.
After putting on the equipment, Qin Miao jumped in place, moved his limbs again, and then sat into the single shell of the car with the help of Sui Wentao.
After entering the racing car, Qin Miao locked the headrest, installed the steering wheel, and started the racing system.
"Hey, hey, hey? Can you hear ME? ”
Frankie's voice rang out: "Yes, it's clear. ”
"Received ......"
After routinely testing TR's state, Qin Miao turned her head to look at the audience above room P.
There was a shadow looking at him, and when he saw him, a bright smile suddenly appeared on the other party's face.
Then in Qin Miao's somewhat stunned eyes, this girl showed a big love to herself with both hands in public.
Qin Miao herself is a little autistic, so she naturally has a little social fear.
If you let an introverted person like Qin Miao do this kind of action in public, he will really die of shame, and seeing his girlfriend doing this kind of action to himself, although he was very moved, he still subconsciously picked his toes on the ground.
After slowing down for a while, Qin Miao stretched out a thumbs up to Qiu Meng, indicating that you are awesome.
After retracting his gaze, Qin Miao was ready to buff his car.
After a set of routine operations, Qin Miao felt that he might encounter a lot of accidents today, but it was absolutely impossible to encounter the accident of the car withdrawing due to mechanical failure.
And Sui Wentao, who had been giving Qin Miao an umbrella next to Qin Miao, obviously saw Qin Miao's moves, and he didn't say anything about it, after all, there are many riders like Qin Miao who will perform some special rituals before the start of the race, in order to bless themselves with relatively good luck in the next race.
Qin Miao's Buff was added, and the five engine lights in the distance also lit up at the same time.
At this time, the five red lights are not to prepare for the start, but to signal that all the drivers are in their cars within a minute, and the race is about to begin.
And it wasn't until this time that Qin Miao saw Zhou Guanyu who hurried over.
Fortunately, by this time, the equipment on his body was already on.
When Zhou Guanyu passed by Qin Miao's side, he also glanced at Qin Miao, who was already sitting in the car.
The two didn't have time to communicate, but both of them saw a strong battle intent in each other's eyes.
In the simulator, the two of them did not have a lot of fighting cars, and they were provoked by each other, and the torpedo of each other was also a lot of times. (This mainly refers to Zhou Guanyu's torpedo Qin Miao after being caught in an emergency)
But this is indeed the first time that the two sides have competed in reality.
It is undeniable that both men admit that the other is their best friend in the paddock, but neither wants to throw in the towel in this kind of friend-to-friend competition.
Because after winning the other party, you can pretend to be forced in front of the other party more naturally in your future life, and the other party can't refute it yet.
……
"Good morning, welcome to the live broadcast of the first leg of the 2020 Formula 1 Grand Prix, the Austrian Marathon: F2, brought to you by Five Star Sports. I'm Brother Bing. ”
"I'm Phineas."
"I'm Zhou Haoran."
After the opening remarks, the three commentators introduced the topic to the main topic:
"After a fierce qualifying session yesterday, Zhou Guanyu from Shanghai, China, took pole position, while Qin Miao from Hunan, China, was second with a gap of 0.18 seconds. ”
Fei Ge: "Because of the excellent performance of the two Chinese drivers, a new history was created in yesterday's qualifying, that is, for the first time, two Chinese drivers won pole position and second place in F2 qualifying, and at the same time, it also broke the record of Chinese drivers who won second place in qualifying for the first time in F2, and made a breakthrough from zero to one." ”
Fei Ge added: "The fact that two Chinese drivers are playing at the same time in F2 is something that has never happened in the entire history of F2, so from this point on, any achievement of Qin Miao and Zhou Guanyu will be a new record for us. ”
"And the most exciting thing is that both Chinese drivers have shown great dominance on the field, and we can now expect both Chinese drivers to win in F2, or even be a little more daring, and we can also hope that they will one day enter the higher halls of motorsport," Zhou said. ”
……
After the opening remarks, the three hosts chatted about the two drivers on the field and their private relationship.
After that, the director gave the camera to the field.
At this point, one of the five red lights on the track had gone out, leaving only four red lights still on.
The fact that there are only four red lights is actually a reminder to the team staff to evacuate the track as soon as possible, and the race is about to start.
So after the four red lights lit up, Sui Wentao stretched out his hand to shake Qin Miao and then said, "The game is about to start, we have to withdraw, I wish you a victory." ”
Qin Miao nodded: "Look at it." ”
During the time the staff was evacuated, there were only three red lights left, and at this time, only a few team members were left on the track to make final preparations, except for the FIA staff.
Soon the three red lights turned into two, and after the two red lights appeared, the drivers on the field started the engines of their F2 cars.
The roar of 22 engines resounded throughout the audience.
At this time, all the team personnel have been withdrawn from the track, leaving only the official staff of the FIA and Matthew, wearing the FIA vest, standing on both sides of the track to confirm the car and the track.
With the last two red lights going out in turn, only Matthew was left on the track.
At this time, Qin Miao no longer felt any nervousness, after sitting in the car, Qin Miao, like countless previous situations, the whole person's emotions were calmed down, his brain was emptied, and only knowledge about racing was left.
It was as if he was born to eat this bowl of rice.
The yellow flag waved in the rear, and the red light turned green at the five stations.
Zhou Guanyu and Qin Miao, who were at the front, drove out of their own grid for the first time, and the warm-up lap of the race began......
Qin Miao also grinded the tires as much as possible along the way to warm up the tires, so that his tires had enough grip at the beginning of the race.
Today's weather temperature is relatively high, and the track temperature is also good, so Qin Miao is not so badly grinding, after all, he just used soft tires at the beginning to test how many laps his soft tires can run in the current environment.
It can be regarded as a rehearsal for tomorrow's sprint race, although the team's calculation is based on Qin Miao's tire wear, a set of soft tires can run a full 28-lap sprint race, but Qin Miao still wants to test the degradation of this set of soft tires in the actual situation.
Soon the warm-up lap ended, and Zhou Guanyu and Qin Miao stopped into their own grids.
Qin Miao's parking this time was not perfect, and there was still a distance of about 10 centimeters between the tires and the white line.
However, this distance does not have too much impact on the next start.
Qin Miao had practiced starting during the practice match, so he was familiar with the next operation.
Once the F2 cars in the back row are on the grid, the safety car is parked at the end of the line, and the F2 race is about to begin.
Soon, the race officer at the back of the team waved the green flag in his hand, and the five red lights lit up in turn.
(There are no updates today...... )
