Originally, Qin Miao also thought about whether to go back to Maranello to see the friends he had made during his time at Ferrari, after all, he had lived there for a long time.

It's just that considering his current status, it is indeed a little inappropriate to go back to Maranello.

So Qin Miao didn't stay outside for a long time, and went directly to Milan.

On Wednesday, Qin Miao also met with Zhou Guanyu.

After all, Zhou Guanyu was going to run an F2 race in Monza this week, so when booking a hotel, Qin Miao and Zhou Guanyu's hotel were booked together.

It is worth mentioning that at this time, the 20 positions of the 10 teams in the paddock have already been confirmed for next season.

Only Alfa Romeo has a place that has not yet been determined.

It's fair to say that the whole paddock is focused on that last position.

There are many contenders for this position, the more famous one is Zhou Guanyu, and the other is De Vries.

Qin Miao also called Binotto and asked him if he knew who Vassell was going to sign, or that between the two drivers, Vassell's intention for which driver was clear, after all, Binotto and Vassell had a good personal relationship, maybe when they chatted privately, Vassell said about it.

However, although Qin Miao asked Binotto, Binotto reluctantly said that he didn't know.

Qin Miao didn't have a good way to deal with this.

I can only ask how Zhou Guanyu's team is in contact with Ah Luo.

After all, Qin Miao still wants to find a compatriot among F1 drivers.

The good news is that when Qin Miao pushed open the door of Zhou Guanyu's hotel room, he saw Zhou Guanyu watching the video of the Monza circuit on his laptop, and there was no anxious look on his face, and he didn't feel too much pressure on him.

"So easy? It feels like I'm less stressed than you're an F1 driver. After seeing Zhou Guanyu, Qin Miao teased.

"You are a typical emperor, not in a hurry, and the eunuch is in a hurry." Zhou Guanyu said with a smile.

Qin Miao was about to take off her slippers.

"Oh, don't, it's wrong." Zhou Guanyu decisively admitted.

After Qin Miao put on his shoes again, Zhou Guanyu said: "I won't hide it from you, my team has already talked to Arrow's people, and both of us have strong intentions, and I have a lot more advantages than my competitor De Vries." ”

"Oh? There is a saying. After Qin Miao put on her shoes, she casually found a place to sit down, opened a bag of things that looked like nuts and ate them.

"Well, I'm currently on a higher level of points in F2 than De Vries, and I have 20 million in sponsorship, which they can't refuse for a team like Arrow, who is short of money." Zhou Guanyu closed the notebook in front of him and said confidently.

"So, are you sure?"

"I can't say it's nine out of ten, but it's foolproof."

"It's OK, don't talk about these non-nutritious ones, did PS5 bring it? A whole handful of FIFA. ”

"What do you mean by not being nutritious? Do you know how hard I've worked to get into F1? Zhou Guanyu shouted dissatisfiedly.

"Tsk." Qin Miao was a little impatient: "You just say whether to fight or not, right?" ”

"Hit!"

"Let's go!"

……

Qin Miao spent all the time here on Wednesday and Zhou Guanyu, and the two of them basically didn't do anything that day, they called the waiter of the hotel to send them to dinner, and they played games in the hotel for a day.

However, after the time came to Thursday, Qin Miao began to get busy again.

Although Thursday is not race day, many of the track's activities take place on this day.

After all, track day is still very attractive to fans, and most of the pre-race video recordings and fan meetings are concentrated on Thursday.

And this Thursday, Qin Miao had to go to the small black house with Verstappen.

Originally, Qin Miao was going to go after the game last Sunday.

But because Qin Miao won the championship at Verstappen's home stadium, the audience shouted while exiting: "So fuck you qin miao." ”

The organizers also considered that if Qin Miao left late, he might be attacked by the excited Dutch audience at the scene.

Therefore, the little black house was postponed to the Italian Grand Prix.

Anyway, now during the pandemic, there are at least half of the pre-race activities compared to the normal Grand Prix period.

On Thursdays, there will be no delays for the riders.

The small black room that Qin Miao understood was literally locked in a black room without windows.

Reprimanded by FIA officials, or like a traffic police officer arresting someone who rides an electric car without a helmet.

What I didn't expect was that the little black house was actually just a title, Qin Miao was brought to the tournament officer's office, and Verstappen was also brought over.

The two sat together across from the tournament officer's office.

The race officer then turned on the video recorder and asked the two drivers to explain what happened when they collided on the track and how they thought about the collision.

The race officer then intervened to mediate for the two drivers.

After both parties forgave each other, the little black house was over.

And for Qin Miao and Verstappen, this matter has been going on for a while, and even if everyone is dissatisfied, that emotion has dissipated a lot after such a long time, so the drivers who have had a traffic accident with themselves on the track can also chat relatively calmly.

So this time, the mediation of the little black house was very successful, and Qin Miao and Verstappen shook hands and made peace in front of the event officer.

Of course, it is not known what the two of them are thinking in their hearts.

After Thursday, Qin Miao was still doing those regular jobs, and it may be that everything is new to fans who meet Qin Miao for the first time.

But for Qin Miao, he has gone through the process almost twenty times this year.

The only thing that Qin Miao found interesting during Thursday's filming was that the people of Meiben always came up with some new ways to play, such as jumping the grid with the shot put and playing with Pirelli tires as ice hockey.

Let Qin Miao tie one hand and play table tennis with Hamilton.

Even though Qin Miao tied one hand and played table tennis with Hamilton, he could also abuse Hamilton......

After the media material was recorded, Qin Miao went to walk the track again, and when she came back from the track, Qin Miao's work was all over.

This week's Italian Grand Prix is actually different from the past, last year's Italian Grand Prix was still the normal one, two, three practice, and then the qualifying and main race flow.

This year's Italian Grand Prix has been revamped and now has the following schedule:

A practice session on Friday was followed by a qualifying session, which determined the starting position for Saturday's sprint race.

Saturday's second practice, followed by a sprint qualifying session.

Saturday's sprint qualifying standings determine the starting order for Sunday's race.

It's not hard to guess what the purpose of the FIA's reform is that they want to make all three days of the Grand Prix a highlight.

In this way, there will be spectators on the three days of the Grand Prix.

It can also be regarded as a disguised way to increase the flow of people in the paddock.

However, in the qualifying stage after the first practice on Friday, judging from the small number of spectators in the stands, the effect of this measure was limited.

Of course, it may also be due to the epidemic, and there are very few spectators who come to watch the game.

Monza is a super-fast circuit, so this week the Mercedes team brought a regular upgrade while also giving both drivers a low-pressure rear wing.

Monza is arguably the least downstressed race of the entire calendar.

Qin Miao and the team did not get much data during the first practice session on Friday.

Considering that the afternoon was qualifying, the data tested by the team in the first practice phase were all about the balance of the car and the consistency of the car's grip at the Monza limit.

To put it mildly, the team was given a fairly qualified qualifying car tuning setup at the end of the practice.

There are also benefits to this ATA's qualifying format, which is qualifying and sprint qualifying, with different car tuning settings available for the main race stage.

It is also possible to dispense with used tires used in Q2 during the Sprint Qualifying Stage.

Of course, the biggest headache for other drivers in this format is tyre problems.

With an additional 18-lap sprint, most drivers will have to test more events in two practice sessions, and the tyres will naturally wear out more than ever.

These all depend on the trade-offs between the team and the drivers, and Qin Miao basically has no troubles in this regard.

Qualifying stage.

Since Qin Miao stopped making trouble in the qualifying stage, Q1 and Q2 have not given his fans and Mei Ben's fans no blood pressure.

The same goes for this game.

Qin Miao was directly promoted with a good result of Q1 first and Q2 second.

In the Q3 stage, Qin Miao encountered a little trouble.

When the first flight lap passed the 3rd time period T9, Qin Miao was blocked by Sainz who ran back to the field, if it wasn't for Qin Miao's quick reaction, Qin Miao almost hit Sainz's car and took off on the spot.

As a result, Sainz was sent off two positions in the early stages of Sunday's race.

I don't know what the hell the Ferrari gang is doing, they are all Q3 and can still have traffic problems on the track.

The most important thing is that this is still Ferrari's home turf.

The only one who can make mistakes one after another on his home turf is Ferrari, the world's largest circus.

After the first flight lap of Q3 was abolished, Qin Miao attached more importance to his second flight lap.

He ran very seriously and went out to complete the flight lap two minutes earlier than the team expected.

Although Qin Miao's score came to the first place after running this flying lap, he was quickly brushed to the third.

Both Hamilton and Verstappen were faster than Qin Miao.

Qin Miao was not surprised by this.

In the end, Friday's qualifying session ended with the following standings:

Pole position: Hamilton

2: Verstappen

3: Qin Miao

4: Norris

5: Ricardo

6: Gasly

7: Sainz

8: Leclerc

9: Pérez

10: Giovinaz

After all, Giovinaz was playing at home, and despite driving an Alfa Romeo, which was the second-to-last in the paddock, thanks to the blessing of the home field, his uncertain contract, and his full familiarity with the track, Giovinazzi used all his talents in qualifying to finally squeeze into Q3.

However, whether Giovinaz can start in this position in the main stage will depend on Saturday's sprint qualifying.

Friday's game was over here, and Qin Miao went to the post-match press conference with Hamilton Verstappen, and the day's work was over.

When they returned to the hotel, Qin Miao and Hamilton were in the same car, and when they were in the car, the two also talked about the competition system implemented by the FIA.

The old man made it clear that after the liberal media group took charge of F1, many things were based on profit.

The words are full of criticism and dissatisfaction with this format.

However, Qin Miao didn't express his opinion on this, and mainly listened to Hamilton's chat along the way.

The main Qin Miao has only been in the paddock for a year, and it is definitely not a light person, but Qin Miao's own influence is definitely not comparable to Hamilton.

Hamilton can talk privately about what is wrong with the competition system formulated by the FIA, Qin Miao is not so bold.

Saturday, the second practice.

During the hour of the second practice, there were no accidents in the racing of Qin Miao and Hamilton and the testing process on the track.

However, this second practice was not without waves, as Ferrari caused another stir on their home turf.

Sainz crashed during the second practice.

The home crash, the audience at the scene was naturally in an uproar.

Luckily, at the start of the sprint qualifying, Ferrari managed to miraculously fix Sainz's car in half an hour.

Should it be said that it is worthy of Ferrari, the upper and lower limits are very low.

The ceiling is so high that if the entire front suspension of Sainz is broken, and the rear wing and floor are damaged, the car can be repaired in half an hour.

After a collision with a Leclerc car in Monaco, it was said that it would be repaired, but the race really started, and then it was found that there was a problem with the car.

One can't help but feel that Ferrari is such a magical team.

Sprint Qualifying Stage.

It was a race with only 18 laps of pit stops.

However, whether it is Qin Miao or Hamilton, including all the other drivers, they all know that this sprint qualifying is not important.

It's a bit tasteless, and it's a pity to throw it away.

After all, no matter what position you place in sprint qualifying, no one other than the top three drivers will get any points.

And even if you finish in the top three in the sprint qualifying, the points will be limited.

Three points for the champion, two points for the runner-up, and one point for the third place.

For the sake of such a tasteless and discarded score, basically no driver will choose to play with the driver in front of him at this time.

This is also one of the reasons why Hamilton kept complaining to Qin Miao that the designer of this format had a brain disease when he went back to the hotel with Qin Miao to rest yesterday.

Well, although Qin Miao didn't say it, he also felt that the designer of this competition system was sick in the brain.

However, one thing to say, compared to Friday's qualifying session, Saturday's sprint qualifying session did have a lot more spectators.

Of course, the audience was all Ferrari fans, even if they weren't wearing Ferrari clothes, wearing Ferrari hats, or waving Ferrari flags.

After all, the whole world is a Ferrari fan.
