When Qin Miao saw her daughter-in-law, she raised her eyebrows in amazement.

Qiu Meng stayed at home most of the time during this time, even if she was working, she was working at home, and she was very casual when she didn't have to go out.

Most of the time it's a short-sleeved shirt with a pair of big pants.

If she doesn't want to pick clothes to wear, this girl will also put Qin Miao's T-shirt on herself.

Because Qin Miao's T-shirt is relatively long, it is enough for this girl to wear Qin Miao's clothes as a long skirt, and as long as she wears one, it is also convenient.

Although watching his girlfriend wearing his own clothes is still unique.

But to be honest, after watching it for a long time, it will also be a little aesthetically fatigued.

But now Qiu Meng's dress really makes Qin Miao feel bright, coupled with the hair tied in the back of Qiu Meng's head, the current Qin Miao has a taste of a strong woman in the workplace.

"Sit."

Qin Miao piled all the sofa pillows in her lounge and made a place for Qiu Meng to come out.

Qiu Meng shook her head and said, "Toto called you." ”

Qin Miao was stunned for a moment, then asked curiously as she got up, "What are you looking for me?" ”

Qiu Meng spread his hands: "I don't know, you go ask him yourself." ”

Qin Miao nodded, and then let Qiu Meng in and went out by himself.

As soon as I went out, I saw Toto.

After walking over, Qin Miao asked, "Boss, what's wrong?" ”

Toto asked, "I remember sending you a headhunter list some time ago, right?" ”

Qin Miao nodded: "Yes." ”

"What about people?"

"Who?"

Toto said: "The list I gave you is for you to recruit a few people to assist you in your work, don't tell me that you don't recruit anyone." ”

Qin Miao scratched her face a little embarrassed.

When she just got the headhunter list, Qin Miao thought that she still had time anyway, so she wasn't in a hurry, but Qin Miao, who started salting fish after entering the holiday, had no problems with work, and she hadn't gone out much because of the epidemic, so she didn't expect this need.

Toto didn't need to continue asking, looking at Qin Miao's performance, he knew that this guy didn't move.

"Forget it, these staff members will help you arrange it when the team arrives." Toto waved his hand: "I'm not looking for you for this. ”

"FOM wanted to do an interview with you before the game started, I wanted to contact you, but I couldn't find anyone, so I found us, they are downstairs now, you go downstairs for an interview."

Qin Miao nodded, these interviews are mandatory requirements of FOM, not the team's media activities, Qin Miao can't rely on his contract to shirk.

However, when Qin Miao is interviewed now, it is different from when he was in F2 before, when Qin Miao is interviewed, there will be a press officer on Meiben's side to be responsible for Qin Miao's affairs in this regard, and the main job content is to remind Qin Miao what to say and what not to say.

Qin Miao's press officer is a younger girl, but she is ten years older than Qin Miao, and now she is twenty-nine, a little shorter than Qin Miao, and her name is Alyssa.

Qin Miao went for an interview, and it was Alyssa who took Qin Miao downstairs.

"This interview is mainly because you're the most special of the rookies who joined F1 this year, because you have a huge buzz in the paddock, so the audience is curious about you, and FOM wants to dig deeper into you, so this interview happened."

While listening to Alyssa's words, Qin Miao went downstairs.

"When confronted with the other person's question, you just need to answer it normally, but try not to talk about controversial topics.

They don't usually pull the topic on Bottas, but if it really comes to Bottas, you can skip it, you can change the topic, I have seen your interview, you are still talented in changing the subject, I believe in your performance in the interview. ”

Qin Miao nodded, and then the two came to the outside of the car home.

At this time, a middle-aged man in a suit was already standing outside the car home of Meiben, followed by a photographer carrying a camera.

After seeing Qin Miao, the other party walked over and stretched out his hand to Qin Miao to say hello: "Hello, Qin, it's a pleasure to meet you!" ”

Qin Miao also shook hands with each other with a smile, but due to the current epidemic situation, the two were separated by a light touch.

"I'm sure you know the purpose of our coming to you this time, I have a few questions for you."

Qin Miao nodded slightly, and then waited for the other party to ask questions.

"First of all, as a rookie in the Formula 1 paddock in your first year, you joined the Mercedes team with Toto's support, is there any pressure to be in such a championship team?"

Qin Miao thought for a moment: "There will definitely be pressure, I believe that not only me, but also those who can join the Meiben team in the first year of entering the paddock will definitely have pressure, but I will turn the pressure into motivation, after all, Toto is so optimistic about me, I don't want to disappoint him, I will familiarize myself with the environment of the paddock and this year's car as soon as possible, and strive to form combat effectiveness in a short period of time, and make efforts for the team's championship." ”

"Now that you're officially an F1 driver, will there be any different change in mentality?"

"I didn't think I would be an F1 driver when I first started racing, I was just aiming for the 24 Hours of Le Mans, and that's it.

But as time went on, I realized that I did have a certain talent in racing, and so I came to this stage that I wanted to be a little bit afraid of, and now I have a feeling that I just want to enjoy the race and fight for the team to win. ”

"Okay, so what do you think of Mercedes' cars this year? Is it still the same as last year's high level? ”

"As far as I know, this year the team has focused on engine stability upgrades, as well as optimising cooling and mechanical grip, and I believe these upgrades will bring better results to the car."

"So the last question, it's a personal question, but it's a lot of noise on the Internet, and I hope it doesn't make you feel presumptuous."

Qin Miao had no choice: "Ask." ”

"We noticed that there was a girl next to you when you came for the winter test today, and the audience was curious about what her relationship was with you?"

The private life of the riders in the paddock is always an unavoidable topic, so after searching on the Internet for a long time and not finding more information about Qiu Meng, many people wanted to FOM to ask Qin Miao.

Qin Miao said with a smile: "There's nothing to hide, that girl is my girlfriend, her name is Qiu Meng, and the two of us are classmates." ”

"Wow, it's really rare to see a couple like you two in the paddock." The host was a little surprised by Qin Miao, but after exclaiming, he still said: "Okay, thank you for accepting today's interview, our questions are finished, I wish you a smooth test today." ”

"Thank you, good work, goodbye." Qin Miao nodded politely to the other party, then turned around and returned to the autohome.

During the process of going upstairs, Qin Miao asked Alisa curiously: "There shouldn't be anything wrong with my answer, right?" ”

Alyssa thought for a moment: "There's nothing wrong with answering the team's questions, and I don't comment on your private life answers." ”

Qin Miao shrugged her shoulders and returned to her lounge.

Leaned against Qiu Meng and watched for a while.

Forty minutes later, Qin Miao's lounge door was knocked again, and Toto's voice came: "Ready to start today's work." ”

Qin Miao jumped on the spot after hearing this, then simply moved his body, picked up the thermos cup on the table that had been used for almost two years but was still brand new, and took a sip: "Go!" ”

After Qin Miao went out, the old man next door to him also happened to come out of the lounge.

The two looked at each other, and Qin Miao and the old man both nodded at each other.

Then he took his equipment to the P room in the maintenance area.

Downstairs, through the back door of room P, Qin Miao came to the maintenance area and saw his car.

But Qin Miao didn't see the whole picture of his car, because at this time, the rear hood of Qin Miao's car was lifted, and several technicians were busy at the engine position of Qin Miao's racing car, and because the engine layout and appearance of each team were team secrets, so the door of the P room was blocked by three huge black screens.

Qin Miao put down his helmet above the tool table, and curiously leaned over to ask Frankie, who was staring at the computer screen in front of him and frowning at the racing data: "What's wrong with my car?" ”

After discovering that the person who asked him the question was Qin Miao, Frankie explained: "When the car was self-checked, there was a problem with one cylinder in the engine, and after the inspection, it was found that there was a phenomenon of pulling the cylinder. ”

"And now?"

"A new engine has been replaced, and now it's been installed, and when they adjust it, it's almost over, and the broken engine should be mothballed and shipped back to the factory to check the specific cause of the failure."

Qin Miao nodded clearly: "When will it be repaired?" ”

Frankie thought for a moment: "If it goes well, it's half an hour, if it doesn't go well, then I don't know." ”

Qin Miao looked back at a timer hanging in the middle of the two P rooms, which showed that there were about 15 minutes left for the game to start.

There was nothing to do, so Qin Miao simply moved a stool and sat next to Franky, and asked curiously: "By the way, how much is my engine not counting the R&D expenses?" ”

Frankie sighed helplessly, he was basically idle after joining the F1 team, and now he was much busier than he was in F2.

In F2, he assigned the task, and handed over the rest to Sui Wentao to deal with, and he finally confirmed the acceptance.

But F1 can't do it, F1 cars are too precise, and any mistake can cause problems in the car, so he has to keep an eye on it and not relax for a moment.

But in the face of Qin Miao, Frankie couldn't say anything serious, because he knew that he and Qin Miao were one, because of Qin Miao, he had this opportunity to work as a track engineer in the Meiben team, so after smoothing out, Sui Wentao still patiently answered Qin Miao's question: "If you don't count the R&D expenses, the cost of the optical engine is about 1.1 million US dollars, and the F2 is slightly cheaper, 100,000 US dollars."

Speaking of F2, when do you tow that F2 of yours away? Rosin had an idea before I left the company and would never tell you that your car was put in the convoy and forgot to take it. ”

Qin Miao shrugged helplessly and said, "Actually, I know that I didn't take my car, but even if I take it back, I won't have a place to put it."

I don't live in a big place now, and now there are only two parking spaces in front of my house, one for an AMG GT given by Toto, and one for a Ferrari 488, and I can't park an F2 anymore.

And even if I get it back, I don't have time to open and maintain it, so I might as well put it in Rosinna.

But then again, why did Rosing give me F2 hair? ”

Frankie simply didn't look at the monitor in front of him, and Qin Miao basically couldn't calm down and work in him: "Do you really not know or pretend not to know?" Your F2 car has the most consecutive F2 wins to date, and Rosing can't wait to sleep in your car every day, guess why he wants to detain your car without permission? ”

"And Rosin regretted letting you pay for a car a long time ago, and when he drank too much at a party with us, he regretted the decision he didn't make in the first place."

Qin Miao imagined in his mind the picture of Luo Xin making this expression. I couldn't help but shudder.

"But although he wants to give your car to Mao, if you really ask him for it, he won't give it back."

"Forget it, let him help watch it."

……

After chatting a few words, Qin Miao didn't continue to disturb Frankie's work.

I found the right angle and started watching Reyes as they were busy on their cars.

Finally, before the winter test officially began, Reyes re-fastened the rear hood of Qin Miao's car.

With the end of the countdown, the winter test officially began, and the director also started the live broadcast.

However, Qin Miao couldn't directly enter the car to start his own test, because just now the car was repaired, and many things on Qin Miao's car were not installed.

In short, Qin Miao had to continue to wait.

And Qin Miao waited for more than an hour.

At this time, Qin Miao's racing car was not equipped with a grid-like detection grille that tested the aerodynamic parts of the racing car, it was just an ordinary and clean W12.

But in fact, just after surviving the hustle and bustle, Qin Miao's car not only had more than 30 kilograms of counterweights, but also at least 200 more sensors that could not be seen from the outside, and the engine power was also limited by 10%.

There is no doubt that with the addition of these things and a series of restrictions, the performance of the car will be severely affected.

However, the main purpose of the winter test is to find out the problems of the car and solve them.

After making sure that nothing was missing, Qin Miao put on his helmet with Toto's nod and approval, stuck Hans system, and walked towards his car.

At this time, Reyes put a pedal next to Qin Miao's car, Qin Miao was the first time to get on a real car after all, and it was also necessary to give him some assistance.

Stepping on the pedals, Qin Miao first stepped into the cockpit of his racing car with one foot, then stepped into it with both feet, and then grabbed the flip-flops with both hands and poked his two legs into the monocoque.

The knees of Qin Miao's legs were wrapped in a layer of soft material, and after putting her feet in, Qin Miao's knees basically didn't have any room to move.

Although you can't move at this time, you don't have to worry about your legs being thrown off and you can't step on the accelerator and brake when you turn at high speeds

Qin Miao also shrank her body slightly, and leaned back in the racing seat.

At this time, Qin Miao was not sitting in the car, but lying in the car.

The car was already being warmed up with oil, and the old man's car was still preparing.

Qin Miao lowered her head and tidied up her seat belt, connected the helmet's radio, and inserted the water hose into the hose.

And at this time, a screen was taken by Reyes and buckled on Qin Miao's flip-flops.

Those who have played the F1 series on these two screens actually know what is displayed, which is the tire data, the results of other drivers, the tires selected, their own tire inventory at this time, the test plan, and the tuning options.

The difference is just that the typography and UI are different from team to team.

After looking at it briefly, taking another sip of water, and after making sure that the water supply was normal, Qin Miao spoke in his TR: "Radio test ......"

After the winter test began, Frankie, who ran to the command area, turned his head and gave his thumbs up to Qin Miao, and replied in the TR: "Radio test, the call is very clear." ”

After making sure that the radio was fine, Qin Miao reached out and grabbed the steering wheel in front of him that was customized according to his hand shape.

In fact, this steering wheel doesn't have any feel at all, because Qin Miao is wearing gloves, even if he grabs the steering wheel, he can't feel the feel brought by the lines on the steering wheel.

Qin Miao just held this steering wheel very easily, and after holding it with both hands, the steering wheel would be clenched by himself, and all the bulges were just right to jam the lines on his hands.

After holding the steering wheel, you will also be very confident, and you don't have to worry about the steering wheel falling out of your hands due to too much force when you are operating.

At the same time, F1 cars have a steering power system, Qin Miao no longer needs to drive as much G force as the F2 car drives, Qin Miao has to resist how much G force.

However, because the G-force of F1 cars is greater than that of F2 at high speeds, Qin Miao needs to use no less force when driving F1 cars than when he drives F2.

After the preparation was completed, the starting lever that was inserted into the back of Qin Miao's racing car began to rotate.

The principle of this thing is exactly the same as the principle of the walk-behind tractor swing handle in the countryside in the past.

It's just that now it's electric, whereas it used to be hand-cranked.

In fact, as long as the current F1 racing engine is heated to the working temperature, it can achieve automatic ignition.

But every gram of weight in an F1 car has a big impact on the speed of the car, so no team will add an electric motor to their car to help the car ignite automatically, unless it's a mandatory requirement of the FIA.

After the engine was started, the monitor that was buckled in the middle of Qin Miao's flip-flops was also taken away.

Frankie's voice came from TR again: "Okay, we're ready to go, the main content of this test is the durability of the neutral tires, as well as the power consumption of the ERS, the first time to drive a real car on the track, I recommend the first few laps to drive a little more steadily, and then gradually speed up, the winter test is still very long, enough for you to slowly get familiar with this car." ”

Qin Miao nodded slightly, and at the same time turned on the system that he hadn't upgraded yet, and used a purple human-vehicle integration skill card on his W12.

In an instant, Qin Miao had the feeling that there was an extra part of her body again.

Different from F2, after using this card this time, Qin Miao clearly felt that his body was like having tentacles, and based on the position of his heart, he began to extend towards all the parts of the car, and soon covered the entire car.

Familiarity lingered again.

Now Qin Miao is sitting in the W12, and he feels that he is wearing a set of powered exoskeletons.

The previous F2 gave Qin Miao the feeling that it was a limb extending out of his body, which was very powerful, but after all, it was a mortal fetus.

But now it is different, Qin Miao clearly feels the power of this car and the surging power contained in the engine.

He didn't notice anything uncomfortable about his car, and at this time, Reyes had already taken a few steps back to the side of the pit lane, looked left and right, and after making sure that there was no car, he gave Qin Miao a thumbs up, signaling that he could drive the car out.

Although Qin Miao's hands were already full of nervous and excited sweat at this time, the good water absorption of the gloves made Qin Miao not feel any discomfort, and kept his hands dry at all times.

The start, which had been practiced countless times on the simulator, was as complete as Qin Miao's physical instinct at this time, and while gently refueling, he pressed the clutch button of the racing car.

With the power gained by the rear wheels, Qin Miao smoothly drove the car out of the P room and turned right to the pit lane.

Feeling the feeling of pushing back a few points stronger than stepping on the F2 throttle for just one start, Qin Miao couldn't help laughing.

This feeling is too enjoyable in Qin Miao's opinion, this is what racing should feel like!

It's just that what Qin Miao didn't know was that his TR was actually on all the time.

After hearing Qin Miao's laughter, Toto directly cut into Qin Miao's TR and said, "Qin, please stay calm and complete today's test task." ”

"Okay, I'm sorry I was a little too excited just now, I'll finish today's task with quality and quantity."

As he spoke, Qin Miao had already driven the W12 out of the maintenance area.

After the speed limit in the pit area was lifted, the W12 engine driven by Qin Miao instantly began to roar.

With the gradual deepening of Qin Miao's throttle, and Qin Miao's instinctive shift according to the engine speed, Qin Miao's speed increased rapidly.

T1 gently press the throttle at 150, downshift, and slow down into the corner.

To be honest, Qin Miao's round of operation is relatively gentle, but despite this, Qin Miao also felt the push back feeling of more than 1.5G when feeding oil and the forward G force of about 2G when braking.

In this short throttle and brake, the W12 under Qin Miao clearly told Qin Miao why there are only 20 F1 drivers in this world.

Because just Qin Miao's high G-force when accelerating and decelerating, Qin Miao's heart beat faster and his adrenaline was racing.

And the riders have to run more than 300 kilometers in such a state, and the average person really can't stand it.

And after that foot brake, Qin Miao already felt a little uncomfortable in the part where he was strangled by the seat belt, although it would not be strangled with red marks, but after a long time, Qin Miao felt that these places on his body might have calluses. (End of chapter)
