It is worth mentioning that when Qin Miao was fishing at UNI-Virtuosi Racin, Qiu Meng secretly ran from Monaco to Abu Dhabi.

After all, it was the last game, although after the end of the year, all kinds of endorsement contracts came one after another, and Qin Miao's agency was also very busy.

But compared to Qin Miao's first world championship, endorsements and everything are secondary.

Then when this girl came to the convoy house, she was a little surprised that she didn't find Qin Miao here.

After some inquiry, the people on Mei Ben's side didn't know where Qin Miao had gone, after all, they also had their own jobs, and it was impossible to keep an eye on Qin Miao all the time.

In the end, Qiu Meng saw Qin Miao, who appeared on the command platform of the UNI-Virtuosi Racin team, wearing the Mercedes team uniform that was incompatible with the staff of the UNI-Virtuosi Racin team, through the screen in the team's home that was broadcasting the F2 practice session.

After knowing what Qin Miao was doing, Qiu Meng didn't go over to look for Qin Miao, but honestly opened Qin Miao's laptop in the team house and began to deal with the work at hand.

Qin Miao stayed at the command podium of the UNI-Virtuosi Racin team until the end of the F2 practice session.

After the F2 practice session, it was not immediately time to go to the F1 practice session, Qin Miao continued to stay at UNI-Virtuosi Racin's side for more than half an hour, chatting with Zhou Guanyu about his feelings about the track.

"How so? Is this track easy to run? What do you think is worth mentioning? ”

Zhou Guanyu had just gotten off his car, holding his helmet in one hand and wiping his face with a towel in the other.

"I haven't compared to the others, so it's hard to say, but I feel that the track is still very comfortable to run, and after getting rid of some low-speed corners, the overall run is very smooth." Speaking of this, Zhou Guanyu paused: "But I feel that the modified track will still consume more tires, but this is just my feeling, whether it is really like what I said, I can't guarantee it." ”

Qin Miao nodded knowingly, and after watching Zhou Guanyu and the staff of UNI-Virtuosi Racin analyze Zhou Guanyu's performance during the practice session, Qin Miao left the F2 station.

However, before leaving, Qin Miao still asked Zhou Guanyu for a car video of his practice match.

Because Zhou Guanyu owns the shares of the UNI-Virtuosi Racin team, Qin Miao's request for UNI-Virtuosi Racin has no reason for them to refuse.

And the car video can be found on the official website of F2, Qin Miao got the car video from UNI-Virtuosi Racin compared with the car video on the official website of F2, the video given by the UNI-Virtuosi Racin team is only higher definition, higher frame rate, and there is no F2 watermark.

In addition to being much more comfortable to watch, there is no other essential difference, so there is no possibility of leaking the video to Qin Miao.

And after returning to the team home, Qin Miao was a little surprised to find that Qiu Meng was actually in her lounge.

At this time, Qiu Meng was sitting in her place and bowing her head to operate something on the laptop she brought over, and she didn't notice that Qin Miao had pushed the door and walked in.

To be honest, the moment she saw this girl, Qin Miao's anxiety in her heart eased a little.

"When did you come?" Qin Miao asked with some curiosity, "Why don't you tell me a word?" ”

Qiu Meng glanced up and showed a bright smile after finding that it was Qin Miao, and then lowered her head again and started to operate on the computer: "The plane that landed this morning, I originally wanted to surprise you, so I didn't tell you in advance, but now that you are back, the surprise should not exist." ”

Qin Miao saw that Qiu Meng was just answering her own question and didn't look up, so she asked with some curiosity, "What are you doing?" ”

"Handling several endorsement contracts."

"Didn't you help me get a brokerage company? Can't they handle it? Qin Miao nodded and sat down beside Qiu Meng.

"They can indeed handle it, but they can't make a final decision, they can simply help me screen these contracts of interest, and the final decision is still in my hands."

"It's hard work, come and hug one."

After Qiu Meng heard Qin Miao's words, she didn't immediately withdraw her attention from the computer, but after a quick operation, she pressed enter and handled all the work at hand.

Then Qiu Meng was like Kamen Rider with a transformation belt, and the temperament of the whole person changed, from the state of a strong woman just now to the soft girl that Qin Miao was familiar with.

"It's coming~" She smiled and threw herself into Qin Miao's arms.

……

In the afternoon, the time point when a practice begins.

By the time Qin Miao appeared in the broadcast camera, it was already the last half minute countdown to the start of the first practice.

At this time, Qin Miao drove his own car to the exit of the pit area, and the tires were a new set of hard tires.

The tyre formula given by Pirelli for this week's race is C3-C5, the three softest tyres.

It can be seen that, in Pirelli's view, the circuit does not consume too much of a racing tyre.

There was basically no wind in the first training stage, and the track temperature was 41°C, which was also a relatively suitable weather for racing.

As with the previous two matches in the Middle East, qualifying and the main draw of this race will also be played in the evening.

Therefore, Qin Miao in the first training stage is still more familiar with the layout of the track.

This process will be very fast, after all, Qin Miao has already thoroughly explored this track on the simulator, and this stage is just confirming Qin Miao's inner thoughts.

Compared to Qin Miao, who was already waiting at the entrance of the pit lane before the practice session began, Hamilton came out of the team's P room at least a minute late.

Soon, Qin Miao finished the first warm-up lap and started today's long-distance test.

Although Qin Miao had encountered two slow cars in this long-distance test, the average speed still exceeded the long-distance expectations set by the team for Qin Miao before the start of the first practice.

Of course, Qin Miao just passed the average score.

However, this is not incomprehensible, after all, in the first two laps, Qin Miao was gradually familiar with the track, testing some cornering envelopes of hard tires on this track, and testing the cornering limits of the car.

As Qin Miao became familiar with this track, his speed would naturally get faster and faster.

After that, Qin Miao tested the speed of the neutral and soft tires under the command of the team, and after these two tests were completed, the time for training was over.

I don't know what the reason is, Qin Miao's work progress in the first training stage is quite fast, and he completed the goal set by the original team in the first training stage almost more than ten minutes ahead of schedule.

However, Qin Miao did not waste the extra ten minutes, and after changing into a set of old hard tires, Qin Miao went up and ran the fastest lap back.

Of course, it is the fastest lap of Qin Miao's current time.

Then as time passed, the qualifying for F2 began.

This time, Qin Miao didn't go over to watch Zhou Guanyu's game.

Because the data collected by the team in the first training stage still needs to be summarized and sorted out by Qin Miao.

After a period of intense work, the F2 qualifying race ended, and Qin Miao didn't have time to pay attention to Zhou Guanyu's results in qualifying, because the second practice began.

In the second training stage, Qin Miao spent the first half an hour running a long-distance test of neutral tires, and by the way, she ran a qualifying simulation of neutral tires, and the results were a little poor, but it was not a big problem, and Qin Miao still had enough time to adjust.

In the next half hour, Qin Miao spent most of the time practicing the qualifying simulation of soft tires.

Throughout the second practice, everyone in the Meiben team has not been idle.

And in the end, when the second practice ended, everyone on Qin Miao and Mei Ben's side breathed a sigh of relief.

Because like the first practice, the second training Qin Miao's car group also completed the test and data collection fifteen minutes earlier than expected.

And the second practice is also because the weather environment is the same as the main race, the results of the second practice have a certain reference significance, after all, Qin Miao's second practice except for the extra ten catties of sensors on the car, everything else Qin Miao ran according to the rhythm of the qualifying race.

After the second practice, Qin Miao's performance was 0.7 seconds faster than Hamilton.

Although it seems that Qin Miao has a great advantage, in fact, Hamilton's result means that he has not worked hard at all.

However, with such a fast speed, Qin Miao was already very satisfied.

And Toto in this game can be described as a spring breeze.

In past games, Toto has more or less mentioned Red Bull with James Alisson, or talked about Verstappen's performance in this game.

And this week, from the time Toto came to the paddock on Thursday until now, the frequency of Red Bull being lifted in his mouth has decreased significantly.

I didn't put Red Bull in my eyes.

Toto had a reason to do so, as the only two drivers in the race were the most likely to win the Drivers' Championship.

Red Bull really can't get into Toto's eyes at this time.

After Friday's work, Qin Miao didn't rest after returning to the hotel, and tested on the simulator whether the route he ran out of the field was still possible to optimize.

After all, it was just a practice match, although Qin Miao had exhausted all his strength in that circle, but that was Qin Miao's limit at that time, not Qin Miao's limit.

So after returning to the hotel, Qin Miao deducted the track details on the simulator for almost three hours.

The speed was naturally higher than the speed of the second practice, and the lap was 0.3 seconds faster than the fastest lap of the second practice.

But on the track, whether Qin Miao's details and cornering skills deducted from the simulator can give him an advantage in the race, it will have to wait until tomorrow's three practices to know the result.

The next day, Saturday.

It was still morning, and Qin Miao came to the paddock early.

After completing the routine pre-race interview, he returned to the team's P room, and Qin Miao took the time to look at the replay of Zhou Guanyu's qualifying session yesterday.

As his good son, Zhou Guanyu finally finished third in Friday's qualifying stage.

It also means that Zhou Guanyu will eventually start with the third, and with Zhou Guanyu's current ability, the third start will basically definitely get back the points.

Not surprisingly, this year's F2 Drivers' Championship will fall to Zhou Guanyu.

However, Qin Miao didn't watch Zhou Guanyu's qualifying replay to see his ranking in the arena in this game.

He mainly wanted to see Zhou Guanyu's rhythm when driving on the track, as well as the route into the corner.

It's just that at this time, Qin Miao can get very little from the F2 qualifying video, so after watching it for more than ten minutes, Qin Miao covered the laptop in front of him.

After looking at the video of last year's game, the time came to 3 p.m. on Saturday, the time period when the three practice sessions began.

At this stage, Qin Miao was basically putting the finishing touches on the finishing work and the final fine-tuning of the car.

It is worth mentioning that despite the fact that this race was the last race of the 2021 season and Verstappen was almost no threat to the two Mercedes drivers at this time, Mercedes brought a new upgrade to both drivers in this race.

These include a front fixed air wing and a rear diffuser.

Both components are designed to increase the car's downforce and stability.

In fact, last week, at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, the R&D department of Mercedes Racing had already shifted its focus to next year's car.

The two upgrade parts for this game are parts that have been developed for a long time and have only recently been made.

The most intuitive effect of the introduction of these two components is indeed the overall performance of the car, the cornering stability is also good, and the most important thing is to improve the pain point of Hamilton racing tires heating up slowly.

Of course, not all of this thing is good, and there are pros and cons.

Perhaps because these were the last two upgrades to the W12, the engineers were somewhat lazy, and the tuning window for the car was noticeably smaller when these two parts were installed on the car.

But fortunately, the W12 has the foundation of the W11 Mars rover, and the narrowed tuning window did not bring too much trouble to Qin Miao's adjustment of the racing car settings.

And this week, Qin Miao and his crew are in surprisingly good shape, whether it is testing or finding Qin Miao to be most comfortable to tune, it is faster than a normal Grand Prix weekend.

So in the end, in the last 10 minutes of the third practice, Qin Miao determined his qualifying position and the car tuning to be used in the main race stage.

Because of this, Qin Miao rarely got off work early in the practice match.

And the scene of Qin Miao leaving work early made Hamilton and his crew members stunned.

Qin Miao's movements also invisibly increased the pressure on them.

Still didn't go to see Zhou Guanyu's sprint race in F2, Qin Miao returned to the lounge of the team home directly after the third practice was over.

The next thing is to wait for the game to begin.

But usually at this time, Qin Miao is never nervous, and even sometimes plays PS5.

But after Qin Miao returned to the lounge of the team house today, she couldn't calm down and looked very anxious.

In the end, Qin Miao found a noise-canceling headphone, turned on the noise-canceling mode, and blocked all the sounds from the outside world, and the restlessness in her heart faded a little.

Time passed bit by bit.

Finally, qualifying is about to begin.
