After all, Chinese know that as long as the stomach is cold, it is easy to have diarrhea.

Of course, it is also possible that people have different physiques.

And Kimi, as an experienced F1 driver, couldn't have been unaware of this, so the group chat didn't say much.

On the contrary, after seeing the ice cream in his hand, he remembered that he seemed to have not eaten ice cream in a while.

So Qin Miao's ghost sent a sentence: "Is there anything else?" Bring me one. ”

Kimi shrugged: "I don't have it here, I only took this one when I came out of the hotel, but if you want to eat, there are quite a few in the P room of the Arrow team, and I'll bring you one after the driver meeting." ”

What kind of elementary school student dialogue is this......

Qin Miao complained silently in her heart, but seeing Kimi eating so deliciously, Qin Miao was indeed a little greedy for a while.

However, since he can't eat it now, Qin Miao won't force it.

As Qin Miao's physical trainer, health manager, and assistant, Barber saw that Qin Miao wanted to eat ice cream after eating breakfast in the morning, but he didn't react at all.

It's not that Baber is derelict in his duties, it's mainly that after getting along with Qin Miao for a while, Baber clearly knows how strong Qin Miao's stomach is.

No matter what kind of food it is, as long as it can be eaten, Qin Miao will try it, and there is no need to worry about stomach trouble after eating, and there is no need to worry that overeating will make his weight exceed the weight standard set by the team, no matter how difficult it is to digest, it is not a problem here for Qin Miao.

What stands out is what is delicious and what is taboo.

But there are no side effects at all.

Barber sometimes wonders if Qin Miao is an earthling, and he can digest iron in his stomach.

After that, the two of them began to walk towards the paddock together, and as for what Kimi said about giving himself one, Qin Miao didn't pay too much attention to it.

Originally, Qin Miao was going to go to the team's house to report, but judging by Kimi's posture, he should not be going to report to the team, but going directly to the FIA's conference room to participate in the pre-race driver meeting.

The drivers' meeting in Azerbaijan is similar to that in Monaco, because it is a street race, there is not enough space for drivers to run at the edge of most of the tracks, and only a few corners are possible for drivers to run out to make a profit, so the FIA's restrictions on the track are also relatively dead.

I waited in the conference room for more than 20 minutes, and there were still drivers who did not arrive after the time for the start of the meeting at half past nine.

It's no surprise to everyone, after all, being late is a common occurrence for F1 drivers, after all, no one knows if they will meet their acquaintances, or fans, or self-media reporters with a high number of fans on the way to the FIA meeting.

When this kind of person wants to talk to you, you can't just throw your face and tell him that I'm in a hurry, right?

There was no way, everyone could only continue to wait.

It took another ten minutes for everyone to arrive, followed by a 45-minute drivers' meeting.

After that, everyone naturally went back to their respective homes and began to make final preparations before the practice match.

On the way back, Qin Miao just needed to pass by Luo's convoy home.

And because there is no rush to attend the internal team meeting when you are on the road, after all, it is known that the team meeting of the Mercedes team is ten minutes later than the normal team meeting time of other teams.

So Kimi was back to the home of the team first.

Qin Miao is a young man after all, and after mentioning one thing, he saw that there was no way to achieve his goal immediately, so Qin Miao didn't care.

But Kimi was different, he remembered that Qin Miao wanted to eat ice cream, so he specially took some out of Ah Luo's convoy house and prepared to send them to Qin Miao.

After coming out, he originally wanted to go to the home of the Meiben team to find Qin Miao, but he happened to see Qin Miao on the road.

"Qin Miao." Kimi stopped Qin Miao and lit up the ice cream box in his hand, the meaning was already obvious.

Qin Miao was indeed a little greedy when she saw Kimi eating ice cream, but after a team meeting, Qin Miao's feeling of wanting to eat ice cream also subsided.

But now that the ice cream has been delivered to him, Qin Miao's feeling of greed has come up again, and he doesn't want to refuse Kimi's kindness.

Then Hamilton watched Qin Miao walk over with some surprise, thanked him, took the ice cream box handed over by Kimi, and then opened it in front of Kimi and took out an ice cream and ate it.

After taking a bite, I gave Kimi a thumbs up again and again, indicating that this thing tastes really good.

Hamilton after seeing this scene, although his pupils were shaken, ate ice cream before the game? What should I do if I have diarrhea during the competition?

Although he thought so in his heart, seeing Qin Miao eating ice cream so happily, Hamilton unconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

A thought popped up in my mind: "Is Kimi's ice cream delicious?" Qin Miao seems to have a place where he still has, right? Shall I go and ask for one too? ”

Of course, to become a seven-time champion, in addition to the strength and technical prowess of Mercedes Racing's own car, Hamilton is also an integral part of his own control and control and racing talent.

So he quickly controlled the desire in his heart and retracted his mind, but instead looked at Qin Miao with some concern, this stupid boy ate ice cream before the game, in case he practiced racing diarrhea like Kimi before, it is estimated that Qin Miao will inevitably be taken out by Toto for criticism during the team meeting, and he will be punished with canonical punishment.

However, Hamilton soon remembered that Qin Miao seemed to have a rumor in the team that he would not eat bad stomach no matter how he ate, and it was said that he did not grow a pound of meat on high-calorie junk food such as fried chicken burgers every day in F2.

Qin Miao showed off two dream dragons on the way back to the convoy, and Hamilton didn't want one, so Qin Miao put it in the refrigerator in the convoy house.

After that, it's time for the team meeting to begin, but the team meeting is lackluster, so I won't go into too much detail here.

After the meeting, Qin Miao will have a period of time to rest in the team's house and wait for the race to start.

If it was before, then Qin Miao must have been lying comfortably in the lounge, waiting for the start of a practice.

But not now, after all, Qin Miao now has Yili's contract on his body, although the main terms are not clearly stated, but the details have emphasized that Qin Miao has to participate in at least two pre-race or post-race interviews every day during the three days of the Grand Prix weekend.

At the same time, Yili also sponsored the Meiben team because of Qin Miao's relationship.

As for the specific amount, Qin Miao didn't ask, but Mei Ben, who was not bad for money anyway, quickly agreed to the amount of sponsorship.

It can be said that since Qin Miao signed a contract with Yili, Qin Miao has become a paid driver to a certain extent, but the cost is not paid by Qin Miao himself.

After being interviewed by several local Azerbaijani self-media, Qin Miao's preparations before the game were completely over.

Before the start of the first practice, Qin Miao, who came to the team's P room in a racing suit, received good news from Reyes.

It's just that for some reason, all the mechanics in the team seem to be a little sluggish, and they are drinking the devil's claws there.

"Good news, the car is up and running."

Qin Miao nodded while zipping up her racing suit.

"But there's bad news." Reyes didn't sell it, and said directly: "The cause of the failure of the racing engine has been found out, and it is a half shaft that has been broken for unknown reasons."

We don't have the conditions to deal with this problem here, so the engine has to be shipped back to the factory for repair before it can be used again.

The only engines we can use today are the ones we usually use to run practice races, and the engines that we used to use to run regular races. ”

To be honest, this news is not bad news at all in other circuits, such as Monaco and Hengaroring, which have many corners, and can be barely used to overcome them if they do not require much horsepower.

However, the Baku circuit is particularly hungry for engine power, and many teams generally choose to drive a new engine on this track to make the cars in the race stage have more powerful engine output and power.

But Mei ran down, and before the game started, she gave Qin Miao a De buff as soon as she came up.

But there is no way, Qin Miao can't just stop running because the engine power is not enough.

So in the face of Reyes's somewhat embarrassed expression, Qin Miao waved his hand and said: "This matter has nothing to do with you, it would be good to have a car to drive in such a situation, I just hope that there will be no accidents on the track." ”

Reyes was relieved: "Actually, the durability of the engine we used to run the practice race is sufficient, and we should not have a problem running the practice race with the engine that used to run the practice race, and our engine that is running the practice race is almost out of order." ”

"Can't you just re-ship a set of half-shafts from Brackley?" Qin Miao asked a little unwillingly.

After all, in Qin Miao's opinion, isn't the engine just a broken part, just replace it with a new one.

Reyes was stunned for a moment, and then explained with a smile: "We can't hide from the FIA people if we change the half shaft here, as long as we change them, we can see the traces of the replacement, and we can scrap a set of engines."

But if we change the half shaft in Brackley, we can make it impossible to find any traces of dismantling no matter how much we check it. ”

Qin Miao: 6.

"Is it appropriate to tell me this kind of thing so openly?" Qin Miao was shocked.

Reyes waved his hand: "It's all my own people, don't worry, and this is an unwritten rule within all teams, and the internal parts of a new engine that have not been on the track can be replaced if they are broken."

After all, there are four engines in a season, and if the internal parts of your engine that have not been on the track are broken, you will scrap one set, how will you play this season? Can only suffer a loss and accept the penalty refund? ”

……

In any case, the problem was solved in a curved way to save the country, and Qin Miao was not too worried about the car striking on the track, but it was foreseeable that Qin Miao would have 10 horsepower less than his teammate Hamilton in the main race stage.

"There shouldn't be any other problems, right?" Qin Miao finally asked.

"No problem." Reyes gestured OK.

After hearing this, Qin Miao began to stuff noise-canceling headphones into her ears, and then put on a hood and helmet.

After putting on the equipment, Qin Miao sat in the car.

As soon as the practice began, Qin Miao gave his car a buff, and after receiving the news of the racing engine strike, Qin Miao knew that the system task that needed to win the championship by himself was most likely to go far, but fortunately, there would be no punishment if the system task was not completed, and Qin Miao was also more open, so he would not have too much psychological burden.

After entering the racing car, Qin Miao determined the tuning settings of his racing car on the monitor in front of him, and this set of settings was the most comfortable setting for Qin Miao to run on the simulator.

It's comfortable to drive on a simulator, but it's hard to say how well it works on a real track.

But that's what the practice sessions are for the team.

To be sure, Qin Miao gave Reyes a thumbs up.

Reyes nodded, and released Qin Miao at the beginning of the first practice.

In fact, it is difficult to feel the loss of more than a dozen horsepower in the thousands of engines of the F1 car, but it is reflected in the difference of about 0.2 seconds on the track.

Qin Miao knew that if he wanted to get a good result in today's race, or even win the championship that was unlikely to be won, the choice of tires and the control of fuel in this game would be very important.

So as soon as Qin Miao came out, he began to test the heavy oil for long distances on soft tires.

After twelve laps of the first test, Qin Miao's tire degradation and fuel consumption problems have never been something their team is worried about, all they really worry about is Qin Miao's lap time and his adaptability to the track.

However, as the work gradually deepened, everyone also deliberately forgot about Qin Miao's racing engine and just focused on the work at hand.

Qin Miao didn't know how the other teams were, but Meiben's data collection for Qin Miao's racing was still quite efficient, and the subsequent car tuning was also very accurate.

In the first practice stage, Qin Miao ran three times.

The results of the test were very satisfactory to both Qin Miao and the team.

At least in terms of aerodynamics, Qin Miao got the tuning settings he wanted.

In fact, the aerodynamic kit setting of this track in Baku is quite easy to find, after all, it is a track with low to medium downforce.

After the first practice was paused, the data was sorted out to determine what work needed to be done in the second practice, and then the rest time between the first and second exercises was almost over.

In addition to work, there is still something more interesting about the first practice, that is, Ma Zeping hit again, and the tail wing was directly deformed.

In terms of the characteristics of carbon fiber, the rear wing is scrapped after being deformed.

But fortunately, Urals oil has a lot of money and doesn't care about the broken tail.

Ma Zeping was the only one who had a car accident, and the others either rushed directly into the buffer zone to save the day, or they just didn't crash.

In the final session, Verstappen took the first place in the first session with a time of 1:43.184.

Hamilton was sixth, Qin Miao was seventh.

As soon as the second practice started, Leclerc knocked off his front nose wing in T15 because of the tricky position and the parapet wall of the track was also knocked out of shape.

Matthew needed to come over and restore the location of the crash wall, so the race showed a red flag.

After the red flag ended, the practice session continued, but there were no car accidents in the follow-up process, and Qin Miao also completed the test items required by the team smoothly.

Then I safely brought my car back to room P.

After the end of the second practice, Qin Miao's ranking did not rise but fell, and came to the eleventh.

Qin Miao's teammate Hamilton finished fourth in the second practice, and the first was Red Bull's Pérez, with a score of 1:42.115, and Pan Zi was 0.1 seconds slower than Pérez.

In Friday's two practice matches, Red Bull beat Mercedes.
