"Although it seems that the video we made is a Dutch special video, there are always some fans who like to just watch the race, they don't explicitly express their likes and dislikes for a certain driver, the main customer group of these videos we shoot is actually these people, the video can effectively attract the attention of these people, although it can't convert them into our fans and fans, but at least it won't make our passers-by too bad."

"On the other hand, these videos are also a reward for supporting our fans and keeping us hot in their hearts all the time."

"Sometimes you can't just look at what is in front of you, maybe you are still young and don't see things so deeply, but when you are a little older and have more contact with people and things, you will know whether I have a point."

Qin Miao shook her head: "That's what I said, but I feel that after the official start of the Grand Prix on Friday, the audience at the meeting with the fans may scold me on the spot." ”

Qin Miao, who said this, remembered a video she shared with Qiu Meng after the British Grand Prix.

That video showed a video of Verstappen's pre-race fan meet-and-greet.

The video begins with Verstappen's appearance, and then the British audience at the scene begins to say in unison: "So f**k you max!" f**k you max !“

really scolded Verstappen in front of others, and those British fans at the scene almost rushed up to point at Verstappen's nose and scolded.

And at this time, Verstappen was only a threat to Hamilton, and did not surpass Hamilton in the standings, and even many people still firmly believe that this season's Drivers' World Championship will fall to Hamilton.

Despite this, the audience was not at all polite to Verstappen.

Compared to Qin Miao's behavior of secretly targeting provocations, it can be called gentle as water.

At Verstappen's home stadium in the United Kingdom, he received boos and abuse from the audience, and at Verstappen's home stadium, thinking about the orange smoke that would drift from the audience after the game began, Qin Miao felt that the video taken before the game could not reverse the hostility of the audience towards herself and Hamilton.

Dutch fans will still point at their nose when they should scold, and maybe even worse.

"Don't worry." Hamilton said and reached out to pat Qin Miao's shoulder.

Qin Miao thought that Hamilton would come up with a solution, but he didn't expect him to say very indifferently: "As a driver, you always have to experience a competition in the home stadium of a competitor, and it may be a little uncomfortable once or twice, but after being scolded a lot, you will get used to it." ”

Qin Miao: ......

Can you get used to this?

……

On Wednesday, Qin Miao didn't have a job and had a day off in her hotel room, and on Thursday, Qin Miao officially started working on a Grand Prix weekend.

However, on Thursday morning, when Qin Miao was about to go out, he was told by Barber that he didn't know if it was good or bad.

Bottas will join Alfa Romeo next season with an annual salary of 15 million to become Alfa Romeo's No. 1 driver next season, and Kimi also announced that he will officially retire next season to experience life without F1 and cars.

In other words, the addition of Bottas will replace Kimi's place, while there are rumours in the paddock that Giovinazzi will not be staying at Arrow next season.

As for the seat after Giovinaz's departure, there are two people who are very interested, one is Qin Miao's good brother Zhou Guanyu, and the other is Zhou Guanyu's teammate Drugovic.

In fact, Zhou Guanyu is more likely to get this seat, and it can even be said that Zhou Guanyu is likely to join Alfa Romeo next season.

The reason for this is partly because Zhou Guanyu's overall performance in F2 this season is better than that of his teammate Drugovic, and on the other hand, Zhou Guanyu has a sponsorship fee of 20 million euros.

This set of small combination punches down, Alfa Romeo has no reason not to want Zhou Guanyu.

Of course, these are just speculations, after all, Arrow has not announced anything to the public, and no one can be sure.

Qin Miao has been thinking about stealing the driver's championship of the old man all this time, and she hasn't paid much attention to F2.

After learning about this through Bobble's mouth, there was some surprise.

So Qin Miao was very curious and called Zhou Guanyu in front of Barber.

After a while, the phone was connected, and Zhou Guanyu's voice came: "Hey Qin Miao? Why did you have time to call me when you weren't ready to play on Thursday? ”

Qin Miao smiled and said, "Are you busy, I heard that you and A Luo have a saying?" Tell me what's going on. ”

Zhou Guanyu on the other end of the phone was silent for a while, and then said: "There is a confidentiality agreement, you can't say it." ”

After hearing Zhou Guanyu's refusal, Qin Miao did not show any dissatisfaction or unhappiness, but said with a smile: "Then I congratulate you on making a fortune!" Next season, you wait, buddy will let you learn the defensive ability of buddy on the field. ”

Zhou Guanyu's face was full of confusion: "What did you say?" Why can't I understand? ”

Qin Miao smiled: "Okay, I'm just making a phone call to satisfy my curiosity, and now that my curiosity is satisfied, I'll hang up first, I still have something to do." ”

Zhou Guanyu, who was still full of doubts in his tone just now, said in a solemn tone: "Okay, come on for the game, I will continue to pay attention." ”

……

In fact, Zhou Guanyu has a confidentiality agreement in his mouth, which is clearly telling Qin Miao that he has been negotiating with A Luo, and there is a confidentiality agreement, and there is a high probability that both parties have strong intentions, and the negotiation process will be very fast, and it is even possible that this force has signed a contract with A Luo, and will enter F1 next season.

Qin Miao was naturally sincerely happy for her friend.

However, with Kimi's departure, only Hamilton, Alonso and Sebastian Vettel are the only three veterans still active in the paddock.

Many old car fans also sighed for a long time.

A new generation is better than the old.

And Qin Miao was also a little sentimental, after all, Qin Miao still liked Kimi.

But this is Formula 1, where people come and go, but the pursuit of a championship never changes.

Thursday's activities were still the same, there was nothing to say, but there was indeed a scene on Thursday as Qin Miao expected.

When participating in the pre-race fan meeting, the fans at the scene cordially and warmly sent greetings to Qin Miao: "F**k you Chinese!" F**k you qin.“

"You're a clown, you're worthless!"

Although it was very uncomfortable to be scolded, Qin Miao knew that if he behaved angrily, these Dutch fans who had opinions about him would become very happy.

So although she heard the people in the audience scolding herself by name, Qin Miao's performance was the same as when Verstappen heard someone scolding him at the UK station, there were basically no excessive emotional fluctuations on her face, she always had a faint smile, the host did whatever she wanted you to do, and she was always interacting with the audience.

I couldn't tell he was being scolded at all.

Those who couldn't understand English thought that the audience was cheering for Qin Miao.

However, after being scolded, I was still a little unhappy, but fortunately, after Qin Miao's pre-game fan meeting was over, Qin Miao heard from Barber that Hamilton also had such treatment as herself, and even Hamilton was treated much more luxuriously than herself.

The invective at Hamilton lasted for a full five minutes, and the entire pre-game fan meeting lasted only 15 minutes.

After this little episode, the work after Thursday became calm.

Friday: The day of the start of the two practice sessions.

Qin Miao finally got rid of the rainy season in Spa, and the weather near Zandvoort, the Netherlands, has been particularly good in the past week, and there is no hidden danger of rain.

Friday's two practice sessions were all about collecting data, and nothing special happened, so I won't go into too much detail here.

Saturday: Day of practice and qualifying.

The third practice is still collecting data to determine the tuning of the car, and after confirming that there is no problem, Qin Miao is ready to use a set of medium and high downforce tuning in the qualifying and main race stages.

This week, there is only a small upgrade to the front wing end plate, which does not improve the performance of the car, mainly to sort out the airflow of the car, this upgrade will discharge more dirty airflow to the rear of the car, rather than the front wheels, so that these dirty airflow will affect the following of the rear car.

However, last week's high-downforce rear wing was ready for use in Zandvoort.

Zandvoort is also a very difficult track to overtake, because Zandvoort has a lot of corners, and these corners are extremely narrow, and most of the corners on the track have an inclination.

This makes it easier for the driver to corner, but it also increases the likelihood of the car spinning on the track, and also increases the probability of a safety car being deployed.

And because the track is so close to the beach, there are often some unexpected winds blowing during the race.

Qin Miao was overwhelmed by these winds once during the practice match, which caused him to go bigger, but fortunately he controlled the car and there was no accident.

I hope that the wind on the scene will not give Qin Miao strength during the qualifying match.

The three tyres that Pirelli gave out in this race were the stiffest C3 to C1.

At the same time, Pirelli also proposed three pit stop strategies for all teams this week.

They are two sets of two stops, one set of yellow and white one stop strategy.

Because Zandvoort is a track with relatively high tire wear, it is believed that there will be no fewer teams that choose two stops this week, but it is not impossible to finish the race in one stop.

And Qin Miao's side is a little special, according to the test of the three practice matches, the pit stop strategy prepared by the team for Qin Miao is to stop in white and red.

However, it is not ruled out that the car may encounter other situations on the track, so the team also reserved a new set of three types of tires for Qin Miao.

It is worth mentioning that last week's Belgian race removed the rule that the tyres used in Q2 of qualifying had to be used in the main race stage.

It's just that because it was raining in Belgium at the time, the drivers used semi-wet tires throughout Q2, so they couldn't see it.

So from now on, the fastest lap of Q2 will be run on soft tires in qualifying, and white or yellow tires will be used in the main race.

After the three practice sessions, the team kept a total of six sets of new tires for Qin Miao.

There are four sets of soft tires, one set of medium tires, and one set of hard tires.

Soon, qualifying began.

Qin Miao sat in the car here, and Frankie explained to Qin Miao the state on the track at this time at the command platform.

"Today the air temperature is 18°C, the track temperature is 35°C, the air humidity is 62%, these numbers are the same as during the third practice.

One thing you need to pay special attention to is that the wind is particularly strong today, blowing a westerly wind of 18 kilometers per hour, which is a lot higher than when you practiced three times, so T3 has to be careful when cornering because the downforce caused by the crosswind is lost, and T11 can also brake a little later, which you can feel on the track when you warm up the tire lap. ”

"Okay, Roger." Qin Miao responded, and then began to wait for the countdown to the qualifying match to end.

At this time, the director was also boringly switching cameras, showing the audience the cars and drivers and the like.

Soon, the camera came to Arrow's P room.

Then everyone saw the No. 88 Kubica appear in Arrow's car.

The reason why Kubika appeared in Kimi's car is that Kimi, who just announced that he was about to retire after the end of the season, was diagnosed with the new crown, and there was no way to race at this time, so the qualifying and main stages of this game were played by Kubika.

Because the Zandvoort circuit is relatively narrow, even if the drivers in front deliberately give up the lane to the drivers behind them, the Zandvoort track, which is only enough for four cars to pass side by side, is very thrilling.

Therefore, at this time, the release time of the team is particularly important.

Some teams even deliberately let the drivers out when no one is running.

Of course, this can't be Mercedes, the team's strategy group is not like Ferrari, and the qualifying stage is still a bit level.

Although Qin Miao's first flight lap in Q1 was pushed at full strength, he used a set of soft tires that had been simulated in the practice race for qualifying, so after his first flight lap was finished, his results were not particularly outstanding, and he was only ranked tenth.

In fact, the time gap between Qin Miao and No. 1 Verstappen was only 0.8 seconds, but the difference in qualifying speed between drivers and drivers on dry roads was very small.

Therefore, Qin Miao's ranking after the first lap is not very ideal.

And Qin Miao's fans cried directly after seeing Qin Miao's Q1 results: [I'm back! That familiar feeling of cerebral infarction is back! 】

[Started again]

[I don't know where to learn bad habits, you look at Hamilton and Verstappen, although they also like to hide things, but they don't tease the blood pressure of car fans]

[Hamilton and Verstappen hide things in their pockets, and you Qin Miao hide things in your chrysanthemums]

【Too deep】

[How I wish I could understand math next time]

[You can also drive this broken road? 】

[Since I became a fan of Qin Miao, I have to always prepare a quick-acting heart-saving pill to watch the qualifying match, otherwise I will leave]

[Ma Dan, watching a qualifying match is scary than watching a ghost movie] (end of this chapter)
