After skimming the topic, Kimi said: "You did really well at Monaco and a lot of my old friends were full of praise for your performance that day.

But I think it's more than the overtaking you do during the race, the pressure on the drivers in front of you, the tactics of the team, the under cut.

Not as exciting as your starting two cars in a row. ”

Qin Miao thought about it, and it seemed that he had killed Ricardo and Okang in the initial stage of Monaco.

After thinking of the situation at that time, Qin Miao thought for a while and said: "To be honest, I had an element of gambling at that start, and the two overtaking were very risky, and if I was not careful, my race might be over." ”

"I'm a little scared when I think about it now." Qin Miao paused here before saying this, and then said with a smile: "Of course, if I am given a chance to start again in the 12th place in Monaco, I will still do it if I have the chance." ”

Kimi sighed a little after hearing Qin Miao's words, yes, as a driver, who didn't take risks when they started, under pressure, and concentrate on going all out?

For a moment, Kimi felt that Qin Miao, a young junior, was very much in line with his appetite.

However, although a short sentence made Kimi's good impression of Qin Miao greatly increased, Kimi is Kimi, and he will not be like other elders who have a certain good impression of a junior after seeing a junior, and then start to teach the juniors tirelessly according to his experience for so many years.

Kimi instead moved on to something else.

'What was it like to be team-mates with Hamilton? Do you feel stressed? ”

Qin Miao smiled when she heard this question, it was not the first time someone had asked her this kind of question, it was as if everyone would think that their situation within the team would not be too good after seeing that their teammate was Hamilton, the seven-time champion, or that because their teammate was Hamilton, Qin Miao would be under a lot of pressure.

But in fact, Qin Miao basically didn't feel anything about it, in Qin Miao's opinion, he and Hamilton didn't have a saying that who was strong and who was weak, it was normal for him to not be able to outrun the Seven Crowns, and it was normal for the Seven Champions to lose to his teammate Qin Miao once or twice.

After all, no one can guarantee that they will not make mistakes after running more than 20 games a season.

"Actually, it's okay, I don't feel any pressure from Lewis."

"There's a rumor in the paddock that you're on a three-year contract at Mercedes, right?" Kimi groped her chin: "With such a long contract, it's normal that you won't worry about your contract and position in a short period of time. ”

Qin Miao also didn't explain that her contract salary was floating, and the upper limit was very high and the lower limit was also very low.

At this moment, Barber hurriedly ran over with two black electric scooters printed with the Mercedes logo.

Actually, he could have ridden it directly, but it was not safe to ride with one hand and carry the skateboard with the other.

And Qiu Meng stayed in the home of Meiben's team, the sun is always so unkind to the girls, if there is no need, Qiu Meng will not run out to bask in the sun.

But when Bobble came to Qin Miao's face, he was numb, because Kimi's eyes lit up when he saw the skateboard in his hand.

Before Barber walked in front of Qin Miao, Kimi turned his head to Qin Miao and said, "This skateboard is good, lend me to play." ”

Barber:???

Then Kimi's assistant was also stupid, because Qin Miao and Kimi stepped on the skateboard and got on the track, and their assistants were all left in place.

In fact, when the drivers walk the track, in addition to the driver's assistant, there will be the team's engineer, who is mainly responsible for recording the track data to determine the tire usage for qualifying and the race, and at the same time, these data can also evaluate the driver's performance on the track.

But fortunately, there is also a Hamilton with much more experience than Qin Miao above Qin Miao, and not only is there no contradiction between the two drivers of Meiben, but the relationship is good.

Therefore, Qin Miao's crew staff can prostitute the Hamilton crew's data that is more accurate and refined than their own records.

Of course, at the staff gathering after each race, it was Qin Miao's crew who paid for it.

This year's Baku circuit did not re-pave the asphalt, using the old asphalt, this track also has the same characteristics as Monaco, the asphalt because of the traffic on weekdays, the overall is very smooth, the consumption of tires is not large, Pirelli this race to the drivers to choose the tires is also C5-C3 three softest tires.

If nothing happens and a safe car, Baku is normally a one-stop pit stop strategy.

Qin Miao felt that in terms of his ability to protect the fetus, the most likely tactic to choose in the end was to stop red and yellow.

After all, it's not the first time Kimi has run this track, and when the two of them are racing on the track, Kimi will stop at some noteworthy places to check.

Last season, for example, he noticed a small bulge in the T6 out of the corner, so this time Kimi came over and checked the place.

Kimi didn't mean to teach Qin Miao any racing experience, he simply came over to inspect the track by himself, and then just like Qin Miao didn't shy away from giving Kimi his racing data, Kimi didn't shy away from letting Qin Miao know some small details he found on the Baku track.

Qin Miao was also willing to follow Kimi to see what details he had discovered on the track and what differences he had found from his own.

The two of them can also exchange ideas with each other during this process.

After walking the track, Qin Miao took out his mobile phone and looked at the photos he took on the track, and after he didn't find any unclear photos, his task of walking the track this time was completed.

Seriously, people will gradually become lazy if they don't have someone to take care of them.

In the past, Qin Miao walked F1 for the first time, it was a small notebook in his hand, and when he encountered a more difficult corner, he would write down this corner, and record some of his thoughts on turning and entering the corner on this corner, and record the height of the shoulder and the roughness of the surface of the shoulder, and estimate the extreme grip of the racing tire after the tire is pressed.

Everything is very detailed, although Qin Miao at that time had the blessing of the system, and he already knew a lot about this track.

But now? Qin Miao relied on the proficiency blessing of the system, and directly rode a scooter to glance at it and finished the matter.

At most, when you find some difficult curves, you will stop the car and touch the asphalt, shoulder, and wall of the curve with your hands.

Just like when walking the track this time, Qin Miao deliberately stopped at the stupid corner, and then asked Kimi to help him take a photo with the parapet wall of the corner.

After making sure that the photo was okay, Qin Miao directly sent the photo to Leclerc in Kimi's somewhat speechless eyes.

After that, Le Laosi's verbal attack on Qin Miao, we will not press it for the time being.

In short, this time the track is completely worthwhile for Qin Miao.

After leaving the track, Qin Miao found that Kimi was different from Norris.

Norris didn't pay it back after borrowing something, and he didn't even say a word, of course, it was also possible that Qin Miao didn't go with Norris, and he forgot about it.

And Kimi and Qin Miao got off the track together and personally handed the car to Bobble's hands and thanked him.

It can be seen that although Kimi is a little more casual and straightforward, there is nothing wrong with Kimi in terms of the principle of being a person.

After walking the track, he returned to the team home and took Qiu Meng with him, and Qin Miao took his girl back to the hotel.

After returning to the hotel to rest for a while, Qin Miao went to attend the pre-match press conference on Thursday.

At the meeting, Qin Miao happened to be interviewed on the same stage as Leclerc.

In the background, after Leclerc found Qin Miao, he directly locked Qin Miao's throat, and then scratched Qin Miao's waist violently.

Qin Miao could only reluctantly admit humiliation in the end.

However, during the pre-game meeting, Leclerc was still serious and did not make any fuss on the stage.

After the pre-race meeting, most of the work on Thursday of the Grand Prix was completed, and then Qin Miao went to the team to take a look at his car.

Qin Miao's racing car was also transported to Azerbaijan today and unpacked was completed.

Because of the replacement of the new engine, although this engine was tested in Brackley, no one knows if the engine will be unadaptable, so after it is shipped to the local area, it has to be restarted once to make sure that the engine can operate normally.

This is also a routine test.

Almost every Grand Prix has this step before the race, Qin Miao just came over to take a look, and after it was already started, he was ready to go back to the hotel to rest.

It's good to die, but today's test went wrong.

Under the sweat of Qin Miao's several crew technicians, no matter how they inserted the starting lever into the clutch of the car, the engine of the car just couldn't be successfully ignited.

Reyes and the other technicians in Qin Miao's crew were all anxious when they saw this situation.

However, as an old team, Mercedes has always had a contingency plan for dealing with these urgent matters, so according to the inspection manual, they quickly replaced the heated lubricating oil inside the racing engine and then began to inspect the engine components.

They had to troubleshoot all the problems with Qin Miao's racing engine before the practice session started tomorrow Friday, and if they didn't complete the troubleshooting within the stipulated time, they would have to install Qin Miao's old engine.

Normally, the Mercedes team is not short of the transportation cost of a new engine, and it is impossible to carry only one set of old engines for spare parts.

But no one expected that a new set of engines, or even new engines that had been upgraded to durability, would have such a problem.

After all, in the calculations of the team engineers, any part of Qin Miao's car in this Grand Prix race may have problems and be damaged, but it is impossible to have problems with the engine.

So the logistics department took into account the constraints of the budget cap, and in order to save freight, the engines of both cars only brought three sets, one new engine and two old engines.

Normally, two old engines are in normal use, and one new engine is in standby.

Qin Miao just had a problem installing the new engine in the car.

So a very embarrassing thing happened, Qin Miao's new engine failed, but he didn't have another new engine to replace this one.

However, things have already happened, and the staff of the team are naturally trying their best to deal with the problems caused by the engine, although Qin Miao was not kicked out of room P by Frankie and them, but seeing that their eyes looking at Qin Miao were full of Qin Miao's disgust, Qin Miao also knew that it was better for him not to stay here now.

So he left.

Today, Toto had a social meeting and was not in the team, so Qin Miao talked to Ben Hodgkinson, the powertrain supervisor on duty in the team today, about his engine, and after making sure that they could let himself have a car that could be used on Friday, Qin Miao left the paddock with peace of mind.

Back at the hotel, Qin Miao and Qiu Meng didn't go out at night.

didn't touch anything related to work, Qin Miao and Qiu Meng played together with the PS5 they brought from home overnight.

The next day, Friday, the first and second practice times, is also the official start time of the Azerbaijan Grand Prix.

The first thing to do when I get out of bed in the morning is to look at the weather, fortunately, today's weather is very good, there is no sign of rain, the sun is very bright, and the local temperature is also very comfortable, 26 degrees, according to this form, the track temperature is at least 50 degrees at the beginning of the practice race, for Qin Miao and their racers, today's weather is not too good.

After getting up and washing, Qin Miao had a simple warm-up training in the hotel's gym, and then Qin Miao took Barber to the track.

Passing by the turnstiles, there was no spectator access to the paddock today because of local policy.

But because it was a street race, there were still many people on the buildings on both sides of the track who brought tables and stools to put on their balconies, sipping melon seeds, drinking wine, and watching the race for free.

However, because the side that entered the paddock was very empty, Qin Miao didn't see any spectators when he entered the paddock.

As soon as Qin Miao passed through the turnstile of the paddock, he saw three hosts at the entrance who were warming up before the game.

And they also happened to talk about Qin Miao's game in Monaco, so Qin Miao was stopped by a commentator when he was passing by, and began to ask Qin Miao some questions about Qin Miao's game in Monaco.

When Qin Miao came out of the midst of them, Kimi, who was wearing a short-sleeved team uniform, happened to come in through the door.

He was also holding a piece of ice cream that he had nibbled halfway on, and he could see small sticks.

After seeing the other party, Qin Miao greeted Kimi with a smile: "Good morning, Kimi." ”

“Morning.” Kimi also responded to Qin Miao with a smile, and then came to Qin Miao's side with his physical trainer: "I have read the data and deleted it." ”

Listening to Kimi's somewhat incomprehensible words, Qin Miao didn't say anything about this matter, but asked with some curiosity, "What are you eating?" ”

"Ice cream." Kimi lit up the dream dragon in her hand.

Qin Miao was very surprised, because of systematic reasons, there was no possibility of eating a bad stomach, but Kimi was good, he started to show off his ice cream early in the morning, and he was not afraid of stomach trouble during the practice match.
