So tomorrow at the start of the race, Verstappen is pole positioned, Hamilton is second.

The starting order for tomorrow's main race is as follows:

First row: Hamilton, Verstappen.

Second row: Pérez, Norris.

Third row: Leclerc, Sainz.

Fourth row: O'Con, Yuki Tsunoda.

Fifth row: Alonso, Ricardo.

Sixth row: Qin Miao, Gasly.

Seventh row: Giovinaz, Stroll.

Eighth row: Latifi, Vettel.

Ninth row: Kimi, Russell.

10th row: Mazepin, Mick Schumacher.

Since the starting order of the Qatar Grand Prix is that the pole position starts from the right, the pole position driver is shown on the right.

And Qin Miao broke the battery before the start of the game, and gave the FIA a notice.

In other words, although Qin Miao won the second place in this qualifying match, he was not qualified to give a post-game interview after the game.

So the three drivers on the track at this point were Verstappen, Hamilton and Norris, the three drivers who finished in the top three in qualifying.

It is worth mentioning that Norris's performance in today's game was very eye-catching, and he directly crushed his teammate Ricardo.

The McLaren in this race has a momentum of returning to the past, which has made many McLaren fans stand up again.

The post-game interview of these three people, I don't have to say much here, and my eyes came to Qin Miao's side.

After parking the car in the vehicle inspection area of the maintenance area, Qin Miao got out of the car unhurriedly.

Qin Miao's nervousness before the start of the qualifying competition had been swept away at this moment, and now Qin Miao's heart was only calm.

Although I know that I need to chase those two perverts from behind in this game.

But Qin Miao felt from his qualifying results that it was not difficult for him to chase down those in front of him in this game.

And you don't need to catch up with them and overtake them, you just need to get to the third.

Therefore, the only opponents Qin Miao needs to deal with in this game are Perez and the two Red Bull drivers, and others may defend Qin Miao, but the desire to defend will definitely not be too strong.

It can be said that after this qualifying match is over, Qin Miao has a bottom in his heart.

After getting out of the car, Qin Miao saw Leclerc walking towards him.

The last game is over, and everyone is exhausted after a season of competition, but also very busy.

Since the last two races, the two have met in the paddock cars, and when they meet in the paddock, they just say hello to each other and then hurry to get about their own business.

Now is a rare opportunity to have a conversation.

"How does it feel? Stressed? After seeing Leclerc holding his helmet and coming to Qin Miao's side, he asked with a smile, "Do you want me to help you put some pressure on Kanoda in front?" ”

Leclerc started right in front of Tsunoda in this race, and to be honest, with the constructors' ranking already doomed, Leclerc still wanted to do something for his friend.

Qin Miao turned around and reinstalled his steering wheel back on the car, and said, "No need, I feel that not long after the start of the race, Tsunoda will slow down and deliberately cooperate with Gasly to defend me."

And even if they don't, they can't ruin you for my game. ”

Leclerc frowned: "I don't care, anyway, it's the last race of the year, the team has already set its sights on next year, and I'm waiting for next year when our car performance will improve by leaps and bounds, but it's you, is it really okay?" ”

In Leclerc's eyes, Qin Miao's approach is somewhat unsportsmanlike, although the FIA's rules do not clearly state that this kind of thing cannot be done, but if Little Red Bull really lets Tsunoda do this, it is purely ruining his popularity.

"Is there anything you can't do for the sake of a champion?" Qin Miao maintained a pessimistic attitude towards this matter: "Not to mention the second team of Little Red Bull or Big Red Bull." ”

"Then it seems that the only thing I can do in this race is to take the initiative to give way to the car when you are ready to overtake me." Leclerc shrugged and joked.

Qin Miao glanced at him angrily: "Shut up, you." ”

It's as if you were so unethical about giving me your place, and in the eyes of some people, Leclerc's approach is also very unsportsmanlike.

"Just defend normally, don't squeeze me out, I'll be thankful." Qin Miao also made a joke.

Leclerc reached out and touched his chin: "That's hard to say, in case I really squeeze you out of the track?" ”

"Get out!"

While chatting with Leclerc, Qin Miao took care of everything on his car, and after making sure that nothing was missed, Qin Miao went to the place where he weighed after the race with Leclerc.

After the weighing was over, Qin Miao separated from Leclerc.

After Barber found him, Qin Miao went to the area for the post-match interview.

And Qin Miao is naturally the most concerned driver in the entire post-race interview area, after all, he is the favorite to win the championship this year.

It can be said that although the reporters who were in charge of the post-game interview here knew that they were not the first choice to interview Qin Miao, they still prepared a lot of questions for Qin Miao to ask after the game.

Qin Miao didn't play any maverick at this time, and still found a reporter who had a good relationship with Mei Ben.

After seeing Qin Miao coming, the other party greeted Qin Miao with a smile: "Qin Miao, although I am very happy to see you, I don't want to see you here often." ”

Qin Miao smiled a little helplessly: "Who said it wasn't." ”

"Alright, let's start the interview."

Qin Miao nodded and motioned for him to continue.

"We all know that with your current lead in the standings, you only have to finish in the top three to end up with the Drivers' Championship this season.

But before the game, you need to accept a penalty because you have to replace the battery, will this penalty affect your performance in the main game? ”

"Obviously not, although this week's race is very important for me, but the difficulty of this race is only average compared to the previous races, and I am sure that the team and I will put in a performance that will satisfy the fans of the team in the main race stage."

"What do you mean by a performance that satisfies the fans?"

"Drivers' Championship." Qin Miao was full of confidence.

"Okay, so as a first-year F1 newcomer, in the first season of your career, you were involved in the Drivers' Championship with Hamilton and Verstappen, and maybe even won the championship at the end, do you think your rookie season is qualified?"

Faced with this question, Qin Miao thought for a moment before replying: "One thing to say, I am quite satisfied with my current results and performance on the field, but this season is actually not over, I think it is really too early to say this before the final results of this season come out." ”

"One last question, if you win the Drivers' Championship at the end of this race, can you share how you're going to celebrate?"

Although Qin Miao knew that this reporter was half of his own, Qin Miao still couldn't accept this kind of half-time champagne.

So Qin Miao thought about it and said, "I don't dare to think about this matter at all now.

Now we are mainly trying to make sure that the race is as normal as possible and that we can get a good result after the race.

As for how to celebrate?

Probably the best way to celebrate is the smile on the faces of all the team staff after the race is over and we get the good result we want.

Having said that, Qin Miao's post-game interview is basically over.

However, Qin Miao's answer did surprise the reporters who interviewed him.

Before Qin Miao left, the other party said sincerely: "Then I look forward to you having a good result, and I won't see you here next year." ”

Qin Miao showed a bright smile: "Of course, I will do my best. ”

After the interview, public opinion on the Internet began to ferment.

Qin Miao's modest and cautious attitude still made the domestic fans who were both looking forward to and worrying about Qin Miao relax a lot.

Although Qin Miao has always shown stability in the field, Qin Miao is still too young in the eyes of the audience, and Chinese fans have never seen a Chinese driver like Qin Miao before.

Suddenly, with Qin Miao, a driver with top talent in the racing industry, domestic fans are really afraid of losing it in their hands, and they are afraid of melting in their mouths, and the baby is terrible.

Therefore, for Qin Miao's achievements, it will seem that there are some gains and losses

And Qin Miao's modesty released a positive signal to domestic fans, that is, Qin Miao attached great importance to this race, and did not become complacent and arrogant because he was ahead in the standings at this time.

But foreign car fans don't think so, foreigners are different from the restrained humility of Chinese, they are more flamboyant and more willing to express themselves.

So after seeing Qin Miao's interview, they all said that Qin Miao was a little too humble, which was very bad.

However, after the interview, Qin Miao no longer had the extra mind to pay attention to the comments on himself on the Internet.

After all, no matter what the wind is on the Internet at this time, as long as you win the championship after the competition, the style of these comments will tend to be uniform.

After the interview, Qin Miao went directly back to the team house to pack up her things and leave the paddock.

It's not early now, and Qin Miao, as a driver, needs to go back to rest early to prepare for the next race.

It's just that Qin Miao was a little surprised that after returning to the hotel, he didn't find Qiu Meng who had said hello to him in the hotel room, saying that he would go back to the hotel in advance to deal with some things.

Just when Qin Miao was puzzled and was about to call Qiu Meng to ask what the other party was doing, the door of the hotel was opened.

Qiu Meng hurriedly pushed the door and walked in, but after seeing Qin Miao, Qiu Meng, who was still a little anxious, suddenly stepped into a small face, full of frustration and lovelessness.

Just when Qin Miao was full of wonder and wanted to ask Qiu Meng why she had this expression, a voice sounded behind Qiu Meng: "Meng Meng, why don't you stand at the door and not go in?" ”

Qin Miao, who heard this voice, was slightly stunned, because this voice sounded a little too familiar to Qin Miao.

Sure enough, as the person who made the voice walked in, Qin Miao immediately recognized the other party.

"Mom? What are you doing here? ”

The person who came was Qin Miao's mother.

My mother's appearance is no different from when Qin Miao left home, and it can even be said that my mother is still a lot younger, her skin is very shiny, full of collagen, and there are many fewer wrinkles on her face.

If you want to say that my mother is 43 this year, no one will believe it at all.

This looks, up to 30.

"I'm here to cheer you on." The old mother walked in front of Qin Miao with a smile, and after looking at Qin Miao carefully, she gave Qin Miao a big hug when Qin Miao was caught off guard.

Although Qin Miao greeted many foreigners when she was outside, in addition to shaking hands and hugging, and even having a face-to-face gift, Qin Miao was almost used to this way of greeting.

But after her mother gave her a hug, Qin Miao looked a little overwhelmed for a while.

After her body stiffened for a while, Qin Miao reached out to her mother's back and patted her gently.

After the two separated, Qiu Meng said helplessly: "Originally, the flight was scheduled to be half an hour before the end of your game, thinking that after your game is over, it will definitely take about half an hour to return to the hotel for an interview or something, so I am not too anxious."

But I didn't expect the plane to be half an hour late, and you came back so quickly, I wanted to surprise you. ”

Qin Miao smiled and shook her head: "It's already a surprise to see my mother, whether you are waiting for me at the hotel or seeing you when you come back." ”

My mother smiled and said, "Okay, hurry up and pack up your things, isn't there still a game tomorrow for Qin Miao?" Let him rest early today. ”

"Okay Mom." Qiu Meng responded with a smile, and then began to help Qin Miao's mother tidy up things.

Qin Miao's hotel room is the kind of family-style room, in addition to having a living room, there is a master bedroom with its own toilet, and there is also a second bedroom.

Because she needs to take care of Qin Miao, her mother sleeps in the second bedroom, and Qin Miao and Qiu Meng sleep in the master bedroom.

There is no such thing as respecting the old and loving the young, whether it is Qin Miao's mother or Qiu Meng, they all know the significance of tomorrow's game for Qin Miao.

So naturally, it gave Qin Miao the best resting environment.

Qin Miao slept early, so she also got up early, and after getting up, she went directly to the paddock to prepare for the game.

It is worth mentioning that when Qin Miao entered the paddock from the drivers' and staff's passage, the spaces left for fans on both sides of the paddock entrance had been blocked, you know, it was only 7 o'clock in the morning, and it was indeed surprising that there were so many people blocked here.

And putting aside those who hold the camera to look at them as reporters, a third of the rest of the people are wearing the uniforms of the Mercedes team, and they know that they are fans of the Mercedes, and among these fans, there are half Asian faces.

Presumably these people are all fans of Qin Miao.

Qin Miao was not in a hurry at this time, and they got up early in the morning, and it was not easy for them to come here and wait for themselves.

So Qin Miao rummaged through Bobble's bag and took out a lot of small gifts that had been prepared a long time ago, such as the hats, masks, bracelets of the Meiben team, and the team's reduced Lego villain, Hot Wheels racing.

After holding these things in his hand, Qin Miao threw them directly into the crowd of fans.

Then he took a photo with his mobile phone and a place with the largest number of fans as the background.

After the group photo, he posted it on his Weibo and Twitter in front of them on the spot.

Once here, the interaction with the fans is over.

When Qin Miao left, the fans at the scene were still reluctantly shouting: "Qin Miao! Come on! ”

"Qin Miao, we believe that you will definitely be able to win the championship."

"Steady, you can!"

"Qin Miao is awesome!"

……

It's hard to imagine Qin Miao's first F1 race in her career, and there are still many Meiben fans who have a lot of complaints about Qin Miao.

There are even some who directly came to the game site to attack and insult Qin Miao.

After entering the paddock, Qin Miao first said hello to the team, her mother came over today, so she naturally needed to prepare a VIP ticket for her.

Qiu Meng has an admission ticket issued by the FIA for the driver's relatives, although this ticket can be unimpeded in all the places where all fans can go in the paddock, but that ticket can only be used by Qiu Meng alone.

If you want to bring Qin Miao's mother in, you have to need the team to communicate with the FIA additionally.

But the process is not too complicated, after all, whether it is the driver or the team staff, everyone is a social animal, and there will always be family and friends who want to come to F1 to watch the race live.

So whether it's the FIA or the FOM, there are detailed rules and regulations for this set of processes.

After the main thing was done, Qin Miao began to carry out daily fitness exercises on the team's side in the morning, but because there was still a competition in the evening, Qin Miao could not waste all his energy and physical energy on exercise, so the pre-race exercise was just a warm-up exercise.

After the exercise, Qin Miao had more than ten minutes of rest.

After that, it was the pre-match press conference.

After the press conference, Qin Miao returned to the home of the team.

In the afternoon after eating lunch normally, Qin Miao had to attend one or two social gatherings more or less.

Or meet with those fans who have bought high-priced VIP tickets, chat for a few words, and finally take a group photo, or have a meal with the team's local sponsors, in short, Qin Miao has work to deal with before the start of the race.

However, due to the special situation and environment of today's race, it is directly related to the results of Qin Miao and the team's efforts throughout the year.

Therefore, the team unilaterally canceled all of Qin Miao's entertainment work.

The cancellation of the trip directly caused Qin Miao to have an extra afternoon of free time in the afternoon.

After lunch, Qiu Meng also took her mother to the paddock.

However, they did not come to the P room of the Mercedes team for the first time, but watched other races in the paddock, participated in many activities specially prepared for spectators in the paddock, and bought a lot of things.

After all, the F1 Grand Prix is a big show, and although the F1 race is the main course, a lavish dinner must not only have one main course, but also need other side dishes and appetizers to decorate.

Other activities and entertainment in the F1 paddock are the side dishes of this race.

It wasn't until about three o'clock in the afternoon that the two arrived at the team's lounge.

At this time, Qin Miao was still watching the video of last year's game in the lounge, and Qin Miao at this time could be said to be studying the video provided by Mei Ben to him frame by frame.

However, after seeing his daughter-in-law and mother coming, Qin Miao temporarily put down the work in his hands.

"How? Is it fun inside the paddock? After bringing two bottles of water to Qiu Meng and her mother, Qin Miao asked curiously.

Since 19 years in the UK, Qin Miao has not been to play in the F1 paddock.

F2 At that time, although Qin Miao had time and opportunity, he was addicted to games at that time, and he was playing games whenever he was free, and the epidemic was serious, even if he was free, Qin Miao's main choice was not to play in the paddock as an option, except for fitness.

And when you get to F1, it's even more impossible.

In that environment, even if Ma Zeping, who is not very popular in the Haas team, appears, he will be surrounded by fans asking for autographs and group photos, and there may even be a stampede.

Qin Miao's level of drivers is even less to think about.

If Qin Miao appeared there, it would definitely go in vertically and come out horizontally.

"It's not bad, it's very lively, but these foreigners don't seem to think that the current epidemic risk is at all, and only one of the twenty people wears a mask, and this mask is still the kind that is pulled down to expose the nose." Mom complained as she put down the contents of her bag.

Qin Miao also nodded in agreement, what stands out about these foreigners is that they are not afraid of death, even if they are really hit, they will carry it hard.

Epidemic situation? I don't exist without sheep.

"People here are like this, just get used to it." Qiu Meng said.

Qin Miao asked with some curiosity, "Mom, what did you buy?" ”

"Oh, it's all clothes and souvenirs, I'm going to take them home and give them to the neighbors." Speaking of this, my mother looked at Qin Miao with a smile.

The corners of Qin Miao's mouth twitched, after so many years, what does this look mean by my mother's eyes Qin Miao could see it very easily.

Nodding helplessly, Qin Miao said, "Okay, I'll sign, but tomorrow, I still have a game in the evening." ”

"It's okay, you can sign it for me before I go back." Mom smiled happily.

Looking at her mother's smile, Qin Miao also smiled, she could do something for her mother, not just giving her money, Qin Miao was also very satisfied.

The only pity is that because of work, Qin Miao can't stay by her mother's side for a long time.

But looking at my mother like this now, after I don't have to worry about it, my mother seems to be quite comfortable lately......

After that, Qiu Meng put all the things that her mother had just bought in Qin Miao's lounge.

Then the two went out again, mainly because staying here would affect Qin Miao, and they couldn't go out if they didn't go out.

Before leaving, my mother also walked in front of Qin Miao and gave Qin Miao a big hug.

"Come on son, I always believe in you, don't put too much pressure, you just need to play your normal level to win this game."

Facing her mother's encouragement, Qin Miao could only nod vigorously and replied, "Yes, yes." ”

After answering, Qin Miao sent the two most important women in her life out of the door.
