After fighting for a few sentences, Qin Miao also made sure that the clarity of this photo was good, waved his hand at Leclerc and said, "The photo is for gifting, you can help sign it when the time comes, and I will leave first if I have something to do." ”

Seeing that Qin Miao was about to leave, Leclerc also put away the doubts in his heart: "Okay, you can just take the printed photos and find me, and look forward to your performance in this game." ”

"Thank you for your blessings." Qin Miao arched her hand at Leclerc very perfunctorily.

Whether it was from words or actions, Leclerc could see Qin Miao's perfunctory, so he scolded with a smile: "Shut up!" ”

"Hahahaha~"

……

On the way back to the team, Qin Miao sent the photo he took to a staff member of the marketing department who was still familiar with Qin Miao, and asked him to make this photo into a photo of the highest specification, and then print it out and give it to himself before the end of the main race of the American Grand Prix.

Qin Miao's request is actually not difficult, but it is just a little overstepping, after all, Qin Miao is generally only a cooperative relationship with the marketing department, and he has no authority to order the employees of the marketing department to do anything.

Although it is not a humane society abroad, sometimes the face of the driver is still better.

So Qin Miao had just arrived at the convoy house, and the other party took the photo.

However, at this time, Qin Miao was making the final preparations before the start of the game, and it was impossible to take this photo to Leclerc to ask him for an autograph at this time.

Not only did Leclerc have no time, but Qin Miao also didn't have time.

So after thanking him, he handed the photo to Barber and said, "After the game, remind me that you want to take this photo to Leclerc for autographing, and I will take it and give it away." ”

Bobble nodded and put away the photo, after which Qin Miao began to continue to make pre-match preparations before the start of the game.

……

Listening to the songs of the cheerleaders dancing hotly on the track, Qin Miao had already put on her racing uniform and came to the P room of the team.

After saying hello to his crew, Qin Miao entered the car for the final routine inspection before the start of the race.

3 a.m. domestic time, Five Star Sports.

"Hello everyone, welcome to the 2021 season of the Formula 1 Grand Prix brought to you by Five Star Sports......

Accompanied by the pleasant voice of the commentator, Five Star Sports also started the live broadcast of the game.

Today's commentary on this game is still the three commentators in the qualifying stage, they are Li Bao, Zhou Haoran, and Wang Yang.

During the period before the start of the game, the warm-up topic of the three commentators in the live broadcast room mainly revolved around how many rankings Qin Miao could chase in this game.

After all, there is a lesson from the Monaco race, and all Qin Miao's fans know that Qin Miao is very talented in terms of offensive ability and pursuit ability, plus Qin Miao is still driving a Mercedes car.

Not only them, but all the spectators who were watching this game were looking forward to Qin Miao's performance in today's game.

At the same time, they are also discussing what kind of state the points gap between Qin Miao and Hamilton and Verstappen will appear after this game.

After all, Qin Miao is a Chinese driver, and as a commentator, they naturally think from Qin Miao's standpoint, and the same is true for watching the race.

Therefore, when chatting, it was also inclined that Qin Miao could get a good result in this game.

Soon, the F1 theme song and the opening credits of the 2021 season began to play.

As the intro ended, the broadcast screen came to the game.

The first shot of the broadcast was given to Qin Miao, who started from the seventeenth place.

At this time, the crew next to Qin Miao's racing car was conducting the final inspection, and the four brand-new neutral tires had been wrapped in a warm blanket.

When the camera came, Qin Miao could be seen sitting in the cockpit of his racing car with his eyes closed.

Even Qin Miao's helmet was crooked in the cockpit, looking particularly relaxed.

"The one who appeared in the camera was our Chinese driver, Qin Miao." Before the start of each Grand Prix, as long as there is Qin Miao's footage, Five Star Sports will introduce it to the audience.

It's all become a habit for them.

Although many people already know about Qin Miao's existence, because Qin Miao's achievements abroad are getting better and better, his influence in China is also increasing day by day along with his achievements, almost every time there is a live broadcast, there will be new viewers coming in from Five Star Sports.

The commentators of Five Star Sports naturally need to answer the question they are most concerned about for the new audience, that is, who is Qin Miao.

At this time, the camera just switched to Qin Miao's eyes and gave a close-up.

And Qin Miao seemed to feel something, and her eyelids, which were still drooping, opened.

The eyes are just looking at the camera.

Then Qin Miao winked at the camera.

But after that, Qin Miao didn't have any shots, and in today's game, Qin Miao will definitely stage an overtaking show for all the fans who like him.

But the battle between Hamilton and Verstappen up front was also one of the highlights of today's game.

Even many Qin Miao fans are looking forward to Qin Miao being able to challenge Verstappen and Hamilton in this game.

After all, given the current state of Verstappen and Hamilton, it is really possible for Qin Miao to catch up when the two of them are entangled.

Soon, crews on both sides of the track withdrew.

After receiving the order, Qin Miao also buckled the goggles on his helmet and goggles.

The warm-up lap is about to begin.

With two green lights on the indicators, Verstappen took the lead on his grid.

After that, the cars behind followed one after another, and Qin Miao was no exception.

After a simple warm-up lap, the riders parked their positions one by one.

Qin Miao adjusted the racing mode to the starting mode, and stopped on his grid without any difference.

Because he started from the back of the team, Qin Miao stopped in his position as much as possible, in order to lower the tire temperature of the people in front of him a little more.

If he could, Qin Miao would prefer that the people in front of him would fight at the initial stage and give himself enough time to pursue them.

Of course, Qin Miao just thought about it, and he also knew that with the racing skills and racing IQ of these people, basically no one would rashly act at the initial stage.

Even if you want to do it, you have to make a mistake on the part of the driver in front of you, or say that you have a particularly good start.

However, as the five red lights in the distance gradually lit up, the somewhat chaotic thoughts in Qin Miao's mind all disappeared.

Taking a deep breath, his eyes narrowed, and staring at the five red lights in the distance, Qin Miao began to increase the speed of his engine.

At this moment, Qin Miao felt that time had slowed down, and he could even hear his heartbeat very clearly, but the heartbeat was isolated by Qin Miao at this time as a noise.

At this point, he directly lost his sense of hearing, and all his senses were only vision and the five lights in the distance.

All five red lights lit up and went out in an instant.

Qin Miao suddenly released the clutch button, and the car started instantly!

Qin Miao's car started as soon as possible.

Starting at the end of the team is not as leisurely as when Qin Miao started in front of the team before, at this time, Qin Miao not only has to pay attention to the position of the driver and vehicle in front of him, but also be careful of the car accident in front of him, and dodge after the car accident.

I also set aside a part of my attention to look at the back, so as to prevent someone from starting against the sky and putting themselves in seconds.

After all, behind him are Alonso, who has a sharp start, and Russell.

These two are both very good drivers in the starting stage, if you don't want to lose the lead position that you have won so hard in the qualifying stage, whether Qin Miao starts well this time is very important.

After the start, Qin Miao's speed was good, but Alonso, who had always started well, did not get up well, of course, it is also possible that the elderly know that the team does not seek how many positions they can get in the starting stage, but only wants to complete the start without any accidents.

So the elderly deliberately did not run too fast at the beginning stage.

After a successful start, Qin Miao took advantage of the situation and came to the braking point of T1 with Ma Zeping in front of him on the left in turn.

Whether it was Qin Miao or Ma Zeping, neither of them thought that one day the two of them would be able to turn into the bend in turns.

Ma Zeping didn't mean to block Qin Miao, but he didn't let the inside line out.

Simply Qin Miao went to the outside line.

The outer line of the American Circuit T1 is very spacious, and when Qin Miao came to the outside line and was about to enter the corner, looking at the scene of the four cars on the left side by side entering the corner, Qin Miao still honestly chose to loosen the throttle and did not mix.

It is worth mentioning that in the middle of the T1 corner, Latifi gave Stroll, who didn't get up well, a spin on the spot.

As a result, all the cars behind the two drivers were affected by the crash and slowed down.

On the contrary, Qin Miao, who ran to the outside line, was not affected much by this.

After coming out of the corner, the driver in front of Qin Miao became Russell.

That's right, Russell, who started from twentieth place.

Sometimes you have to admire Russell's ability to find opportunities, and he has the advantage of the inside line from the back of the team.

When the other drivers were stuck on the track because of the T1 crash, he forced his way in through the innermost corner and overtook him faster than any other rider on the outside.

To be honest, Qin Miao was stunned when she returned to the normal driving line and saw a Williams in front of her.

When did this force come up?

After T1, the road is a continuous curve, and there is basically no place to overtake on this part of the road.

So Qin Miao followed behind Russell while paying attention to Vettel and Alonso behind him.

That's right, now from twelfth to fifteenth, it's still the four guys who were penalized to the back of the team after changing engines.

Looking at the two people who appeared behind him, Qin Miao could only shake his head and sigh, these old men are really rich in competition experience.

Qin Miao's ranking has not changed much since then.

However, for Qin Miao, it was already a result that he couldn't have imagined before the start of this game, and now he couldn't be more satisfied.

"Well done Qin Miao, now you are ranked thirteenth, continue to maintain the rhythm, and strive to enter the top three before the end of the game, we believe in you." After the start was over and the race was on track, Frankie immediately sent encouragement to Qin Miao through the team TR.

"Roger, watch me perform."

……

At this time, the P room of the Meiben team can be described as jubilant.

Toto shook his fist hard at the end of the start, which was kind of a celebration.

The reason why Toto is so happy is that on the one hand, Qin Miao's start is really beautiful, directly up to four positions, and on the other hand, because Hamilton's start is also perfect.

Hamilton was quicker than Verstappen on pole in the start.

The starting position at Plus Americas was not very friendly to pole sitters.

Turn T1 is a left-hand turn, while pole sitter starts on the right side of the track.

This means that the second-placed driver can easily pass T1 and snatch the lead from the pole-sitter as long as he reaches the half-body behind the pole-sitter at the start.

Hamilton clearly got off to a good start, although Verstappen noticed Hamilton had a good start and hit the left to compress Hamilton's line.

But by this time the two were side by side, and Verstappen's approach didn't do much other than to push Hamilton to the dirty side of the edge of the track.

Hamilton braked even earlier than Verstappen during the braking phase, but it was because Hamilton was on the inside that he was able to exit the corner faster than Verstappen, and when he came out of the corner to the shoulder on the edge of the track, Hamilton pushed Verstappen straight out of the track.

Of course, Verstappen didn't lose a lot of speed after being squeezed off the track, not so much because he was squeezed out, but because he drove out to avoid danger.

When T1 returned to the track, Verstappen didn't drop out of position.

However, when rushing out of the track, the grip of the painted ground outside the track is always not as strong as the asphalt on the track.

So when Verstappen returned to the track, he played with his team-mate Pérez in front and in the back, with Verstappen in front and Pérez behind.

It's a position where the two can fight, and as long as Pérez is resolute enough, it's not out of the question that he can learn from Hamilton to push Verstappen off the track.

However, at this time, there was really no conflict of interest between Pérez and Verstappen.

Even if Pérez wins every race and fastest lap for the rest of the season, he won't be able to catch Verstappen's points at the end of the season.

In addition, Pérez knew that if he and Verstappen got into a fight, the team would definitely give him team orders.

So Pérez followed Verstappen for two corners, then took the initiative to slow down and let Verstappen go.

At this point, there was a little bit of a small accident at the start, but it was generally smooth, and the race officially began.
