"Good evening audience friends, welcome to watch the live broadcast of the 2021 Formula One World Grand Prix brought to you by Five Star Sports, the qualifying live broadcast of the opening match in Bahrain, I am Brother Bing."

"I'm Phineas."

"I'm Brother Ran."

After the opening remarks, the three commentators also began to chat.

"Today is also the first time that we have broadcast the broadcast of the F1 three practices, after all, everyone wants to see Qin Miao's performance in Meiben."

"The director is also very face-saving for our Chinese driver Qin Miao, there are still a lot of shots of Qin Miao during the three trainings, but it is a pity that Qin Miao's ranking is not very high after the three trainings are stopped, and he is ranked eighth."

"However, fans who know the sport of F1 should know that the results during the practice session are just a reference, and the real strength of the drivers can only be seen in the qualifying and race stages. ”

"Yes, now we see cars waiting at the exit of the pits."

In the broadcast footage, two Haas and two Williams took the lead on the track.

"I patronized Qin Miao during the practice match, and forgot to tell the audience that this year's Haas has a personnel change, and they are ready to invest all their resources this year in the research and development of new cars after the rule overhaul next year."

"If nothing else, the two Haas drivers will have an easy time this year, because it doesn't matter if they don't get any good results, because the team hasn't invested in it at all."

……

Qin Miao, who had already changed to a new engine and gearbox, was waiting in the car early, but Qin Miao was not released as soon as possible, but continued to wait for Frankie's notice in the P room.

After all, the Meiben team is a big team, and it lacks everything, but it is not short of money.

During a Grand Prix, Mercedes prepared a total of six gearboxes and four engines for the two cars.

One gearbox and engine are only used for practice matches, the other is only for race, and another gearbox and engine are spare and can be replaced with new engines on the spot if they break.

This minimizes the chance of engine and transmission failures during qualifying and race, while maintaining continuity and stability of engine output.

After all, the engine is actually a consumable, and the lower the durability, the less power it provides.

However, only Mercedes, Ferrari, Red Bull, and other wealthy teams can play like this, and ordinary teams really can't afford to get so many spare parts.

After James Vincent, the team's strategic director, confirmed that he had reached a relatively clean window, he motioned for Qin Miao and Hamilton to go out of room P.

By this time, it had been seven minutes since Q1 began, and Russell, who had come out first, had already made a valid lap.

Hamilton went out first, followed by Qin Miao.

After an appearance lap and a warm-up lap, Qin Miao was about to do the first F1 flight lap in his life, when his TR suddenly sounded Toto Wolf's English with a German accent: "Keep calm, our car performance is very good, you just need to play your strength normally to advance to Q2." ”

Toto was obviously a little worried about Qin Miao's performance on the track, so he comforted Qin Miao and really took care of it.

"Roger."

In response to TR, Qin Miao came to T14.

In order to put the driver in front of him a little bit in front and make more space for himself, Qin Miao slightly pressed the car for about 5 seconds.

Only then did the oil begin to fly laps out of the corner.

Countless simulator exercises and the practice of his own winter tests and practice matches have made all of Qin Miao's movements instinctive.

But despite this, Qin Miao still made a little mistake when he came out of T15.

After all, it was the first time to participate in the Grand Prix, and Qin Miao's expression on her face could be tense without any nervous look, but she had always been under pressure in her heart.

Whether it's the pressure of your teammates being too strong, or the pressure of being sprayed if you don't perform well in a team like Mercedes, or the pressure of competing in a Grand Prix for the first time.

These are all objective existences.

Under such great pressure, Qin Miao only made some small mistakes, which was already considered to be an extraordinary ability to resist pressure.

And this mistake was not because there was any problem with Qin Miao's operation, but mainly because Qin Miao habitually ran the qualifying race according to the driving style of the practice race.

It is important to know that the engine power of the Mercedes practice session is deliberately limited, on the one hand, to hide the strength, and on the other hand, to make the engine dedicated to the practice phase last longer.

Now a new set of restrictions has been lifted, and the power that bursts out is slightly different from the power that Qin Miao is used to, Qin Miao could have given the oil out of the throttle depth of the corner in the limit state of soft tire grip, and at this time, the rear wheel of the car will lose its grip.

Fortunately, Qin Miao's man-car integration skill card brought Qin Miao's fit with the car to an unbelievable point, the rear wheels of the car had just idled, Qin Miao collected the fuel a little and adjusted the steering wheel slightly, stabilizing the car.

From the appearance, it was even difficult to see that Qin Miao had such a small mistake.

But this happened after all, Qin Miao's speed after coming out of the corner was at least 3 kilometers per hour slower than his teammate Hamilton.

After all, the results of the first lap of Q1 were to make a foundation and let himself have a basic result, so Qin Miao didn't push too much, and ran a whole flight lap according to the rhythm he had practiced in the practice match.

After Qin Miao started to run the flight circle, the director fixed the camera on Qin Miao.

"Qin Miao's first flying circle." After seeing the picture given by the director, Fei Ge said: "Actually, my expectations for Qin Miao are not too high, the first Grand Prix is just that, don't be pressured, just be able to enter Q2." ”

Brother Bing had a different opinion: "I expect Qin Miao to be like he did in F2, and show a dominant-level performance as soon as he came up, after all, he is driving Taimeiben." ”

"But F1 is different from F2 after all, and everyone needs to have an adaptation process."

……

While the three commentators were chatting, Qin Miao on the field also completed a relatively conservative flight circle.

The results can only be regarded as mediocre, three greens, and the results are temporarily ranked eighth, below Sainz and above Ricardo.

After running and knowing his ranking, Qin Miao behaved quite calmly, after all, it was just a bottom circle, and Qin Miao did not push to the limit.

However, after Qin Miao ran such a result in the first flight lap, those people on the Internet who were not very optimistic about Qin Miao suddenly became energetic.

[That's it?] That's all for talented drivers? Eighth? 】

[No wonder Ferrari doesn't want to, driving Mei to run a flight lap is not as fast as Sainz who drives a Ferrari. ] 】

[I think it's better to return to China as soon as possible, don't be embarrassed outside.] 】

[The toilet wolf is out of sight.] 】

[Can this broken result be worthy of Meiben's car? ] 】

[This Qin Miao is really not good, right? ] What was Toto thinking when he signed him? 】

[Seriously, just the speed of this car, I can get on it! ] 】

……

Ran the first flight lap and got a valid result.

However, this result does not guarantee that Qin Miao will be able to enter Q2 stably, so Qin Miao still has to go out for a lap in the final stage of Q1.

Anyway, Qin Miao has a lot of soft tires, and the grip of Qin Miao's old soft tires is still very good, and the exhaustion of this set of tires is only about 0.2 seconds after a flight lap run.

Q2 can also be used as a base flight circle.

After returning to the garage, Toto came to Qin Miao's side with noise-canceling headphones.

After patting Qin Miao's helmet, he comforted Qin Miao and said: "The performance of Q1 is in line with the team's expectations, we still have a lot of tires, I believe that with your ability, you only need to play normally, so stabilize your mentality and guard against arrogance and rashness." ”

After all, Qin Miao was lying in the car at this time, and coupled with the noisy environment in room P, even if he could speak, Qin Miao's voice couldn't hear it, so Qin Miao simply gave a thumbs up and signaled that he heard it.

When there were still 2 minutes left before the end of Q1, Qin Miao and Lao Han were released again.

This time, the old man was in front and Qin Miao was in the back.

This lap, Qin Miao still ran conservatively, and at the end of the three sections of green, he finally came to seventh with a score of 0.3 seconds faster than his first lap.

Although he successfully advanced to Q3 in the end, to be honest, many people think that Qin Miao's result is entirely because of Mei Ben's good car.

Naturally, there are many people on the Internet who seem to know a lot about racing and start to criticize Qin Miao, and there is no shortage of people who look down on Qin Miao, and they all say that if Bottas is allowed to come, his performance will definitely be better than Qin Miao's.

Although they all knew that Q1 only needed to be able to advance, it didn't affect them that Qin Miao couldn't do it.

Q2。

After returning to the team's P room, Qin Miao changed into the first set of soft tires in Q1 that were not very worn, and waited for more than seven minutes with a fan in the P room.

Then only 2 minutes after Q2 started, Qin Miao was released.

After all, the conditions on the track at this time are much better than those in Q1, and the tire rubber on the track is also sufficient.

Qin Miao was the first to be released.

There were a lot of riders on the medium tyres on this lap, and the medium tyres on this track were not much slower than the soft tyres.

After all, drivers have a limited number of tyres, and on a track that consumes more tyres in Bahrain, red tyres with 10% loss are slower than medium tyres.

The reason why Qin Miao uses soft tires is because Qin Miao's soft tire reserve is more than the average of other drivers, and Qin Miao's old soft tires still have enough grip.

After arriving in Q2, Qin Miao also liberated a little bit of his ability and pushed it to the limit, but he was not particularly adventurous.

After the first lap, Qin Miao's result was temporarily ranked fifth, but with the end of the last lap, Qin Miao's ranking was once squeezed out of the promotion area.

However, with the end of the last flight circle of Q2, Qin Miao pressed the whistle to the ninth, and swept at a low altitude.

The three commentators in the five-star sports helped Qin Miao say a lot of good things.

To sum it up: "At least Qin Miao entered Q3 for the first time in F1. ”

Q3。

At this time, Qin Miao still had two new sets of soft tires.

The qualifying stage is enough, and even Qin Miao has extra options, if the qualifying stage opens two new sets of soft tires, then Qin Miao has a higher probability of getting good results in the Q3 stage.

However, this choice will inevitably lead to Qin Miao having no new soft tires to use in the main race stage.

But if a set of tires is saved, Qin Miao can have more tactical options in the main competition stage.

Meiben's strategy team integrated Qin Miao's data and proposed two options for Qin Miao.

The first is that the two sets of red tires in the Q3 stage of the qualifying race are used up, and the yellow and white are selected for the main race.

The second is that only one set of soft tires is used in qualifying, and you can choose yellow and white or red and yellow for the main race.

According to Qin Miao's tire failure speed, the speed of the two strategies is actually about the same, and the difference is only about 2 seconds, which is basically the same as nothing.

At this time, Qin Miao was not completely accustomed to the intensity of F1 races, so Qin Miao did not take risks, and chose the second option, running normally and doing lap times normally.

In the first lap of Q3, Qin Miao ran decently and used a set of old soft tires to get to the fourth position, but was quickly squeezed down again.

And if Qin Miao's Q3 is as bland as water, it's just that he is doing his best to do the lap, and on the other side, Hamilton and Verstappen can be said to be unconvinced.

In Q2, the average time was about 1 minute and 30 seconds, and the fastest Sainz in Q2 was 1 minute 30.001 seconds.

As soon as it came to Q3, Hamilton, who was wilting in Q2, had a first flight lap of 1:29.559, which directly brushed Sainz's speed off by 0.5 seconds.

The point is that Hamilton had just crossed the line, increasing his speed by 0.5 seconds, and Verstappen, who was behind Hamilton, set a new record for Hamilton with a backhand, 0.23 seconds faster than Hamilton: 1:29.329.

You've been hiding in your crotch for 0.5 seconds, and I'm not without anything in my crotch!

And Qin Miao, the little Karami, could only watch the big guys fight with the immortals.

Now galloping on the F1 field, Qin Miao knows what it means to have people outside the world, and there are days outside the sky, especially he has never run a score of 1:29.329 in the simulator test.

In the eyes of these F1 drivers, F2 is really similar to the novice village.

The countdown to the end of Q3 came to the last 3 minutes, and the last flight lap of Q3 began.

This lap was also about the final battle for pole position, Qin Miao also returned to the pit lane to change into a new set of soft tyres, and the team's technicians helped Qin Miao wipe down the aerodynamic parts of the car to ensure that the surface of these aerodynamic kits was smooth, so that the airflow through was more rapid and smooth.

Then Qin Miao drove out of the P room with the other cars and started the last flying lap of the night.

Qin Miao was still the first to be released, and the old man was still behind Qin Miao.

"In the last flight lap of this qualifying race, Qin Miao is currently ranked sixth, although this ranking matches Qin Miao's driver number very well, but I sincerely hope that Qin Miao's ranking in the qualifying race can go further."

"On the contrary, I think Qin Miao's result is already very good, after all, he is the first time to go on the F1 field, no matter how talented people are on the track, they always have to adapt to the process, I believe that Qin Miao will finally be able to show his talent on the field, but this is definitely not something that can be achieved in a qualifying race for a Grand Prix, this kind of thing cannot be achieved overnight." Although Fei Ge was full of confidence in Qin Miao, he was not optimistic about his performance today.

"Actually, Qin Miao's performance is still relatively stable" At this time, Zhou Haoran said: "I paid attention to Qin Miao's results in the three qualifying sessions, basically each flight lap has a certain speed increase compared to the previous flight lap, and this improvement is very stable, basically every time it can be increased by about 0.1 seconds, his adaptation speed is really fast, maybe this last lap can bring us some unexpected surprises." Zhou Haoran didn't forget to make a joke in the end.

The other two commentators also knew that Zhou Haoran's last sentence was actually a joke, and they responded in their own way.

Brother Bing smiled, and Brother Fei teased: "Could it be that Qin Miao can still defeat Hamilton in the qualifying stage?" ”

"Impossible, it's impossible."

"Yes, if Qin Miao can really beat Hamilton in qualifying, Toto will have a headache for the No. 1 driver when he returns to Brackley."

"Just kidding, kidding......"

……

The three commentators talked and laughed, skipped the topic, and refocused on the field.

The director's camera was once again aimed at Qin Miao, because he was the first driver to start doing lap times.

At the same time, Qin Miao's lap time data also appeared in the lower left corner of the screen.

Because Qin Miao started at the front, it was unlikely that there would be traffic problems on the last lap of the Q3 stage, so Qin Miao did not press the car in T14 and passed at a normal speed.

The T14 brakes normally, but enters the corner later, goes in a larger direction, and uses more tracks to create a wider line, so that Qin Miao's tail speed on the big straight will be faster.

Anyway, this last flight lap was only timed after Qin Miao crossed the finish line, and this kind of walk would not hurt even if it would waste a little time on this lap.

T15 false bends do not matter, full throttle out of corners.

DRS opening timing Qin Miao has practiced countless times, although it is not enough to say that DRS can be turned on in a suitable position with his eyes closed, but Qin Miao's DRS opening timing will never exceed 0.2 seconds after passing the line during the test.

This is the perfect time to turn on DRS.

The big straight at the start follows the old Han method, avoiding some invisible bumps and maintaining sufficient engine traction at all times.

ALL THE WAY TO THE END OF T1, THANKS TO QIN MIAO'S TUNING, HIS TAIL SPEED AT THE BRAKING POINT OF T1 CAME TO A TERRIFYING 349KM/H.

After stepping on the brakes about 120 meters, 3/4 of Qin Miao's body was outside the white line of the track, which was naturally done to get a wider bending line.

Go all the way to second gear and enter T1 a little later, because then there is another straight road, if you don't have enough speed out of the corner, you will lose a lot of time, and if you enter later, you can get a wider space.

Out of T1, hit a little to the right before coming to T2, and then upgrade 4 gears in advance, so that the acceleration of this section has enough coherent traction, and the traction provided by the car is just enough to make Qin Miao stuck in the extreme corner of the corner.

Keep the steering wheel as stable as possible after exiting a corner, so that the car does not lose power due to the need to steer when accelerating.

Also pay attention to the timing of turning on DRS.

Flying all the way to T4.

Before entering the T4, adjust the center of gravity of the brakes backwards, which is a small skill that Qin Miao learned from the tuning settings and guidance given by the old man, because this corner requires tracking braking, and reducing the brake pressure on the front wheel can help the car get more directivity when cornering, and can also prevent the front wheel from locking.

Enter the corner early, because the track is very wide after exiting, and there is a lot of open space after exiting the corner, so you only need to make sure that your tires are pressed against the white line all the time while making use of the width of the track as much as possible.

After coming out of the corner, come to T5, this corner needs to lean to the left as much as possible, because T6 is a high-speed corner, you need to expand the bend line as much as possible, T6 according to Qin Miao's tuning, you need to downshift, with the inertia of your own car.

But if you use the old man's tuning, although you don't need to release the throttle in this corner, the throttle has to be closed halfway.

After getting out of the T5, the straight goes up to 6th gear, and the T6 only needs to lift the throttle a little bit and doesn't need to release it again.

After T6, get to the far left side of the track as soon as possible, because you need to brake hard, and we all know that F1 cars only brake best when they stay straight.

Because it's a downhill slope, the brake balance remains the same.

The second gear passes the T8, but the oil is given in advance to maintain traction.

Then all the way to T9.

The center of the T9 doesn't matter, it's a false corner, you just need to keep the car in the center of the track.

Then came to T10, this corner requires strong braking and steering at the same time, so the brake balance continues to be adjusted backwards, Qin Miao's operation is to twist a knob on the left side of his steering wheel, and adjust the dynamic balance mode to mode 3.

Before entering the corner, I lowered to second gear, steered, and then after reaching the center of the corner, I moved up the gear in advance, and I began to gradually refuel according to my habits while returning to the right direction.

After exiting the corner, confirm the timing of DRS, go straight all the way to T11 at full throttle.

The T11 looks harmless to humans and animals, but it's actually a very difficult corner.

The braking point is very late, about 70 meters, down to fourth gear, and you can cut a little bit of the corner after entering the corner with speed, but not too much, because you need traction after the corner, but if you eat too much shoulder, you may slip.

When you go out of the corner, you have to calculate the traction tolerance limit of your car, and the speed will be slow if you give less oil out of the corner, and you will be gyroscopic if you give more oil, which is not polite to you at all.

You can eat the shoulder of the road after the corner, but you can't eat too much, eat too much, and eat too much.

T11 after T12 is relatively simple.

For Qin Miao, this is basically a false bend, find a good bend line and pass the full throttle directly.

The subsequent T13 was a bit more difficult, keeping it on the left side of the track as much as possible and making more use of the track width.

There is no reference to this corner, and the timing of entering the corner is all up to your feelings.

And after entering the corner, the steering wheel should not be too violent, you have to gently bring the steering wheel to bring the car over, and after passing the center of the corner, you can eat as much as possible the track and the shoulder of the road, but be careful not to run out of the white line.

Subsequently, T14 Qin Miao adjusted the brake balance to the default state, because the brakes in this corner are straight brakes, and the load of the front wheels is relatively balanced, so that the front wheel braking efficiency will be higher, and there is no need to worry about the front wheel locking like T10.

The shoulder of the T14 is high enough to rub a little bit, but you must not ride it.

Riding this shoulder is costly, with a minimum of 0.3 seconds at a time.

After all, after this bend is a big straight, a little traction is crucial.

After exiting the corner, go full throttle to cross the line.

……

"Qin Miao! Three sections of purple! 1:29.159! First! Chinese driver Qin Miao is currently ranked first in Q3! ”
