143: Upgrade (6K, plus 17/24)

Although I am surprised that the chassis of this hardness will appear in a car that can be used on the road, I have to say that the excellent chassis tuning of this car brings good handling, and because the car is light, the driving front direction is about to catch up with F3.

The most important thing is that this car is cheaper than F3 and can still be licensed.

However, if he saw someone driving this car to buy groceries, Qin Miao would sincerely call the other party: "Ruthless." ”

Putting his daughter-in-law down, Qin Miao drove the car on the track for two more laps, and by the way, he refreshed Qin Miao's car in the car rental company's silverstone lap record, and Qin Miao was not interested in this car.

Although the Lotus is indeed a car designed specifically for the track, it is still much worse than F2.

Do you design for the track? In particular, my F2 was born to only run on the track, do you know what it means to specialize in the art industry?

After playing for an afternoon, Qin Miao and the three of them went back.

After that, Qin Miao's work and rest time returned to normal: studying, holding meetings, and practicing.

Qin Miao enjoyed a dull daily life for the first time in a long time.

But this is because Qin Miao basically didn't open his mobile phone to watch Twitter and other software that could harvest information from the outside world.

And the news was all over the place, and the conversation basically revolved around whether Sainz would join Ferrari.

As for Qin Miao?

While his performance in F2 is indeed remarkable, no one is sure that his impressive performance in F2 will continue until he enters F1.

And Sainz's performance during McLaren is there for all to see.

Not a genius, but definitely worthy of the position of Ferrari No. 2.

And the audience who pays attention to Qin Miao is a minority after all, at most, there are not too many fans in China who care about Qin Miao, and social groups at home and abroad are unhappy for Qin Miao, but their efforts are in vain.

On Thursday, on the eve of the second British Grand Prix, Ferrari and McLaren announced that Sainz would be joining Ferrari next season.

Although Sainz is very strong, but Ricciardo on the other side is about to leave Renault, McLaren is too interested in Ricardo, so naturally there is no psychological burden to let Sainz go.

Readily agree to Ferrari's request, and you can also sell the other party a favor.

And after the news was confirmed, basically everyone who knew Qin Miao's contract with Ferrari called Qin Miao as soon as possible.

Their original intentions were good, they all thought that Qin Miao had lost his position in Ferrari, and wanted to comfort and comfort Qin Miao.

But Qin Miao didn't have much feeling about this, and even some annoyed by these people who kept calling him, because from Luo Xin's words, Qin Miao had already guessed that Sainz would eventually join Ferrari, but it was the phone calls of these people that made Qin Miao basically unable to train properly.

But they were just out of kindness, and Qin Miao couldn't say anything serious.

When a phone call came, Qin Miao had to explain for at least ten minutes before the other party could figure out the twists and turns, but it was her mother who made Qin Miao worry the most.

She called and asked Qin Miao if it mattered.

Qin Miao didn't explain, but said, "It's okay, I have been mentally prepared for this matter for a long time." ”

After getting her son's exact answer, the mother nodded directly and did not continue to ask in depth on this issue, but asked about the situation between Qin Miao and Qiu Meng, and told the two that it was not easy to work hard abroad, and they had to learn to take care of each other.

Should I say that I am worthy of my mother, it always makes Qin Miao feel at ease in these big things.

Another day, Friday, the day of the start of practice and qualifying.

Today, as soon as Qin Miao arrived in the paddock, he found that the atmosphere was wrong.

In the past, although the staff of Mick's car crew would not be pleasant after seeing Qin Miao, they would at least say hello to each other after meeting.

And now, they greeted Qin Miao less frequently after meeting him, and they would not show the kind smile they used to have to Qin Miao.

Qin Miao quickly figured out the reason, and felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

Compared with Ferrari's backstabbing, the attitude of these people made Qin Miao feel the indifference and reality of this paddock more truly.

Qin Miao was actually a little uncomfortable in his heart, but he didn't show it on the outside, and in the eyes of others, Qin Miao was still the same Qin Miao.

Shaking his head and throwing these chaotic thoughts out of his mind, Qin Miao devoted all his attention to the upcoming game.

The good news for Qin Miao is that the weather conditions in the last three days have been very good, and the probability of rain in these three days is less than 20%.

Moreover, in addition to replacing a new set of baseplates, Qin Miao's racing car also changed a new set of engines.

The reason is that when Sui Wentao and they helped Qin Miao replace the bottom plate, they found that there was actually a crack in Qin Miao's engine, but I don't know why, although there was a crack in the cylinder shell of the engine, the engine was able to maintain stable operation for so long without any accidents.

Although after inspection, it was found that the depth of this crack was not deep and it was unlikely to affect the normal use of the engine, but for the sake of insurance, Qin Miao still spent money to replace it with a new engine.

In addition, Qin Miao also counted the rewards issued after the settlement of various tasks in the system during this time.

So far, a total of four Grand Prix races have been held, and Qin Miao has also participated in eight points races.

Among them, seven finishers, six championships and one runner-up.

The record can be described as quite impressive.

The system basically sends Qin Miao a task every F2 race, and the specific task is to convert the pole position of the competition into a champion, so that you can get a little free attribute points.

Qin Miao remembered that he had a [Supernova] task at the beginning, which was also to convert the pole position into a champion, and after the task was completed, all attributes could be added to two, but he didn't expect that after this task, the rewards given by the system began to pick and search.

In addition, Qin Miao also has a long-term side quest: [Series of side quests: 10,000 fans]

【Reward: Free Attribute Point*1】

This is not that Qin Miao can get a little attribute point for every 10,000 followers, but it is multiplied.

Now in the statistics of the system, there are about 31,000 fans of Qin Miao, and Qin Miao has only obtained two skill points from this skill so far.

Now the quest becomes: [Series side quests: 40,000 followers]

【Reward: Free Attribute Point*1】

This skill is calculated on a multiplier of 1, 2, 4, 8, and 16.

Up to now, Qin Miao has accumulated a total of 8 free attribute points, plus Qin Miao's original 8 points, and now Qin Miao has a total of 12 free attribute points.

Because after the supernova mission is completed, it will give two points of full attribute increase, but Qin Miao's defensive ability is full again, so these two points have turned into a little free attribute.

So there's currently a total of 13 free attribute points.

Strictly speaking, Qin Miao felt that his total score had actually risen to 90 points, because the system did not include his two passive skills when calculating Qin Miao's fetal protection ability.

If it is included, Qin Miao's fetal protection ability is estimated to be 100 points.

After understanding the resources he currently has, Qin Miao didn't say a word, and directly pulled the total score of his rain combat ability from 69 points and 11 free attribute points to 80 points.

This is not a waste, but because Qin Miao feels that he really has no talent in the rain battle, if it were not for the system, he would only be able to get 69 points if his talent in the rain battle died, and if there was no accident, he would only be stuck here in this life.

After this wave of free attribute points was used up, Qin Miao's free attribute points were only 2 points left, but the effect obtained was gratifying.

Qin Miao is finally no longer a landlubber, although if Qin Miao does not invest more free attribute points in the rain battle, Qin Miao will only be stuck at 80 points in this life, but the 80-point evaluation is said to be in F2, even if it is put in F1, it is enough.

Because of this, Qin Miao's total score came to 88.5, and Qin Miao's shortest shortcoming has become a point that many people talk about, that is, Qin Miao's ability to protect the fetus.

has given himself a wave of upgrades to his ability to fight in the rain, although it doesn't seem obvious enough now, but Qin Miao believes that in a certain rain battle in the future, Qin Miao will use his ability to surprise everyone fiercely.

Qin Miao's current personal ability scores are as follows:

Qin Miao

Age: 19

Overall rating: 88.5

Stamina: 97

Mentality: 91

Stability: 95

Ranked ability: 87

Starting capacity: 80

Long distance: 90

Fetal capacity: 75

Rain Combat Ability: 80

Attack ability: 90

Defensive ability: 100

In the practice stage, Qin Miao ran more seriously, after all, in addition to Qin Miao's own problems, the mistake in Qin Miao's sprint race last week was not well tuned, which made Qin Miao not so comfortable to drive, and there were certain reasons for it.

Therefore, Qin Miao didn't test the tires in this practice match, and tried her best to find a tuning setting that was comfortable for her to use.

And Qin Miao made up her mind that the priorities of the practice matches in the future would be tuning settings, tire tests, fuel tests, and then lap times and the like.

At the end of the practice match, Qin Miao almost found the training he wanted, but Qin Miao's practice match results were as unwatchable as ever.

Afternoon qualifying.

Qin Miao returned to her comfortable rhythm.

Without fighting or grabbing, after waiting for the other drivers to drive out of the pit area, Qin Miao will slowly drive out of the pit area without hurrying

However, after the other drivers went out for about two minutes, it was just when Qin Miao was about to run out to warm up his tires, and Sui Wentao, who was directing traffic in the pit lane and was about to let Qin Miao out, suddenly gave Qin Miao a stop gesture.

Qin Miao was puzzled, when he heard a voice from his TR, there was a corner on the track whose shoulder was loose, and for safety reasons, the race decided to repair the track before starting the race.

When I asked when it would be fixed, the answer I got was uncertain.

The environment inside the monocoque of the racing car is really not very good, if it runs well, but if it has been standing still, the heat accumulated by the racing engine will soon be conducted, although it is in standby mode, but the heat conduction can also make Qin Miao's cockpit temperature come to about 37 degrees in a short period of time.

So Qin Miao didn't want to stay in the car all the time, and got out of the car directly after the headrest was removed.

For Qin Miao's maverick operation, people who know him are not surprised.

Because I didn't have my mobile phone with me, Qin Miao was fine, it happened that a set of tires on the trailer where his team put tires was used, and a place was vacated, and Qin Miao sat directly on this vacant seat in the trailer.

At this time, the director happened to be repairing on the track, so there was no race to film, and he was filming the cars and drivers of other teams.

Basically all the drivers sat honestly in their cars, waiting for the race to restart.

As soon as the camera arrived at Qin Miao, the audience saw that this person was like a retired old man, sitting for a while, standing for a while, and walking in the maintenance area with his hands behind his back for a while.

Because the parking position of the Prema team was arranged this time was at the door of the Indian Power, Qin Miao also curiously approached the door of the Indian Power team and studied these pink and white front wings for a while.

How do you look like a retired old man who is idle at home and has nothing to do.

Ten minutes later, there were already cars waiting in line at the exit of the pit ahead of time.

It was only at this time that Qin Miao returned to his car with his hands behind his back and sat down again.

Soon, the game restarted, and Qin Miao also drove the car out after two minutes according to his habits.

There was nothing to say about the qualifying race after that, and Qin Miao, who found the right car tuning for herself, made a time of 1:38.556 on the first flight lap, almost breaking Zhou Guanyu's fastest lap of 1:38.498 in Silverstone F2 last year.

But Qin Miao's achievement also gave him enough confidence.

So everyone saw that Qin Miao finished the first flight lap and took the car back to the maintenance area directly when there were still 21 minutes before the end of the race.

Just when everyone thought that Qin Miao might have something wrong with the car and was about to go back to debugging, Qin Miao drove the car back to the pit area and turned off the engine directly, took off the headrest, untied the seat belt, and got out of the car directly.

Qin Miao's set of small combos has made countless hosts who are commenting on this game stupid.

The same is true of the three in five-star sports: "Qin Miao, this is?" Just don't run away? ”

What followed was a deep admiration, because Qin Miao's results in the first lap were really fast, and there was a great possibility that he didn't need to continue running.

But not everyone can be like Qin Miao, who is confident that he can get the pole position after running a lap.

At the same time, the three commentators also admired Qin Miao's ability to adjust his mentality.

These people who follow paddock news in China know the saying "no rumors in paddocks".

So they had already guessed that Qin Miao had signed a contract with Ferrari.

But the signing of Sainz by Ferrari, which broke out some time ago, is something that both Ferrari and McLaren have issued official statements.

Therefore, many people in China are very worried about whether Qin Miao will have any problems in terms of mentality after receiving this news.

And now, Qin Miao is basically the same as no one, and even they feel that Qin Miao at this time is even more arrogant than before.

Of course, it is also possible that Qin Miao did not sign any driver contract with Ferrari at all.

……

After taking off the helmet, Qin Miao took the helmet and went to the weighing place in the P room of the official FIA staff at the entrance of the maintenance area to start weighing.

In fact, the FIA staff also wanted to get Qin Miao's car over and weigh it again, but it seemed that Qin Miao's car was directly turned off, and it would be very troublesome to get it, so they turned off this thought.

Anyway, Qin Miao's strength is obvious to all, and no one will question him making the fastest circle.

After completing her task, Qin Miao didn't stay in the paddock for a long time, after packing up her things, she went directly back to the temporary P room of the F2 team, changed into her daily clothes, and then took her laptop and played the game on the Wi-Fi in the conference room, and waited for the team meeting to start after the race.

Qin Miao's operation cannot be said to be confident, it can only be said that he has a clear understanding of his strength.

After the final results came out, it also proved that Qin Miao's judgment of himself was very correct.

His time was a full 0.5 seconds faster than Ilot's in second place, and he was completely beating the kids.

There is nothing to say about the rankings of other drivers in the future, and it is unlikely that these people's cars will appear in Qin Miao's rearview mirror in the race stage anyway.

Now Qin Miao has a feeling that he is playing "F1 2020" in F2, but the difficulty of the AI enemies is simple.

At the end of the qualifying round, Qin Miao was happy to mention two points, and now the total points have come to 152 points, which is 2.05 times that of Zhou Guanyu.

And seeing Qin Miao's results in just one lap and easily get the pole position, most of them were emotional and admired, only Binotto was full of regret.

In Binotto's view, Qin Miao's talent is not weaker than Leclerc, if Qin Miao can join Ferrari next year, then next year's Ferrari may not have the possibility of touching the F1 team championship.

But now? Although Sainz has not officially signed a contract, the contract of intent has been signed and the news has been released.

Sainz joining Ferrari next season is already a given.

Although Binotto does not deny Sainz's ability, he is only a qualified No. 2 driver at best at Ferrari, and there is no way to shake Leclerc's status.

In Binotto's view, Sainz is not a qualified piece of the championship puzzle.

He could have brought two top talented drivers to Ferrari...... It's a pity that after Qin Miao's mistake, everything was irreparable.

Thinking about this, Binotto suddenly felt a little disappointed, and if there was no internal political struggle, Ferrari might not have been able to fight for the team's top podium after the next rule overhaul.

The next day, in the afternoon, today is the day when the F2 race begins.

Qin Miao came to the paddock as usual.

Although Qin Miao's schedule has not changed much, Qin Miao found that when he passed by the maintenance area, there were many people wearing civilian clothes, but they were wearing staff badges silently observing themselves in some inconspicuous corners.

Although I wondered why these people looked at themselves as if they were looking at rare animals.

Qin Miao also deliberately looked at some of them, wanting to rely on his own gaze to make the other party shift his gaze to himself.

It's just that I don't know why, these people don't hide from their gaze, they just look at Qin Miao like this.

This made Qin Miao lose first.

Although he was full of doubts, Qin Miao had been running for such a long time, and Qin Miao had gradually become accustomed to the feeling of being watched.

So after deliberately ignoring the existence of these people, Qin Miao came to the location of his convoy.

The match is about to start and he needs to prepare for the fight.

Of course, with Qin Miao's current personal ability that is about the same strength as those top F1 drivers, it only takes one sentence for most people to determine the final ranking of today's race.

It didn't rain today.

And when Qin Miao changed into his racing uniform and came to the field, Qin Miao found that not only were there people deliberately observing him on the way to the pit area, but there were also many people in the stands above the pit area observing him.

After seeing the cameras and notebooks in their hands, Qin Miao vaguely guessed the identities of these people, if nothing else, these people should be the staff sent by other teams to inspect them, and they wanted to assess whether their strength was possible to join their team.

But Qin Miao wasn't sure which teams these people belonged to, after all, there was no clear identification on them.

And Qin Miao had a feeling that they just deliberately wanted to let themselves know that they were being observed, and they didn't have the slightest idea of wanting to hide their intentions.

Shaking his head and throwing out all the thoughts in his mind, Qin Miao retracted his gaze, in this environment, he kept his heart and put all his attention into the game Qin Miao still has the ability.

There's nothing to say about the game after that, as I said before, it didn't rain, that was Qin Miao's world.

Qin Miao had a set of soft tires and a set of hard tires, and the soft tires began to fail significantly after eighteen laps, and when he came out again with a pit stop, those drivers who had never entered the pit stop with hard tires were even more than seven seconds away from Qin Miao.

And Qin Miao's hard tires were used until the end of the game.

According to Qin Miao's crew members after the race, Qin Miao's set of hard tires is completely enough for him to finish the entire sprint race tomorrow according to Qin Miao's tire protection ability.

What stands out is a thrifty housekeeper.

In short, Qin Miao once again converted the pole position into a champion.

During the post-game press interview, the other party didn't know what questions to ask Qin Miao.

After going through the normal process again, Qin Miao returned to the team with champagne and trophies.

Qin Miao +27

Ilot +18

Rongard +15

Aitken +12

Mazeping +10

Dretraz +8

Tsunoda +6

Mick +4

Zhou Guanyu +2

Drugovich +1

Zhou Guanyu's qualifying results were okay, ranking fifth, but he made an old mistake, he didn't start well, and he fell directly to the eleventh, falling six positions.

In the end, it was not easy to chase all the way to ninth.
