360: Post-Match Upgrade (6K, Plus 15/16)

And the moment Pérez's car stopped, the cheers that had subsided on the scene rang out again, and even louder than when Qin Miao attacked Pérez just now.

Hamilton was also disturbed by Pérez, who suddenly stopped on the track, and by the time he bypassed Pérez and returned to the track, the time gap between him and Qin Miao had reached 3 seconds.

At this time, there is only one lap left before the end of the race, and it can be said that Qin Miao will be able to pick up a podium for nothing as long as he finishes the race safely.

Qin Miao in this game is not bright in the east and bright in the west, and the tactics originally prepared did not work, but inexplicably achieved a good result that neither Qin Miao nor the team expected before the start of this game.

In fact, the sudden stop of the car on the track was not Pérez's personal mistake.

Pérez, who has been running in F1 for almost 10 years, could not have made such a low-level mistake because of too much pressure.

Because this kind of mistake is a shame for every F1 driver.

It's as unbelievable as a five-star chef accidentally cutting his own hand while chopping vegetables.

In fact, Pérez did suffer from the same problems as Verstappen and Gasly, with the engine's power suddenly losing when exiting corners.

Because the power of the engine is gone, but the gearbox is not disconnected, the engine helps the rear wheel brake, locks the rear wheel on the spot, and the car spins on the spot.

It all seemed so logical.

Since the cars have lost power, it is only natural that Pérez has to park his car on the track.

For this reason, the race will dispatch a virtual safety car.

At this time, there is no need to use the safety car, because it is already the last lap, and the safety car will not be used after it comes out.

So this virtual safety car lit up from the last lap to the end of the race.

In other words, even if Hamilton was not blocked by Pérez, he would not have a chance to attack Qin Miao next.

In the end, amid the cheers and smiles of all the Ferrari fans, Leclerc crossed the finish line first, followed by Sainz, and finally Qin Miao and Hamilton.

It is worth mentioning that Zhou Guanyu, who was originally ranked tenth, finished in eighth place because of the retirement of two drivers of Red Bull, and won the first Grand Prix of his career, not to mention the points, but also scored 4 points.

All the Iron Buddha Temples who failed to come to the scene to watch the game were even more ecstatic after learning the news, and rushed to tell each other.

After a year of precipitation, Ferrari has finally regained its competitiveness on the track and returned to the championship ranks, and judging from the momentum shown by Ferrari at this time, this year's Ferrari does have hope of regaining the position that all the Iron Buddha Temple has lost for a long time.

On the other side, Qin Miao fans, although they regretted that this season's Mercedes had lost their competitiveness, all Qin Miao fans were also happy that Qin Miao had won the podium position in such a bad car.

The most important thing is that Zhou Guanyu's performance was not bad, and the mistakes in the starting stage did not affect Zhou Guanyu's state at all, and finally he was brought back in eighth.

All in all, the performance of the two Chinese drivers in this race was flawless, and it was still a brilliant race for domestic fans.

Only the team and fans of the Red Bull series were injured.

Only one of the four Honda-powered cars finished the race and drove back to the pits on its own.

……

"Well done Qin Miao, the performance in this race today was great, but I'm sorry we couldn't give you a competitive car."

After the race, when they were running back to the field, Frankie's voice sounded in the TR of the team, and it was not difficult to hear their guilt for Qin Miao from the other party's voice.

"Yes, you don't have to blame yourself for this, I'm sure the team can collect enough useful data for the next races, and we'll be fine."

"I think so."

On the other hand, Ferrari was jubilant: "Come on! Let's go!!!“

Leclerc was celebrating wildly in the team's TR, he had been waiting for this moment for too long.

……

On the way back to the lap, the two Ferrari drivers naturally began their drivers' parade.

And Qin Miao in the back drove normally.

But as he drove it, he suddenly found himself next to a white and red Alfa Romeo racing car.

Qin Miao looked over curiously, and saw that Zhou Guanyu was also looking towards him over there.

Qin Miao was a little puzzled at first, why did Zhou Guanyu come here.

Then he quickly skipped this question, and before he saw Zhou Guanyu, Qin Miao didn't think about it so much, and after seeing Zhou Guanyu, Qin Miao wanted to ask him what rank he was in this game.

After all, the display of Qin Miao's racing wheel can only display the first two and the last two, a total of 5 rankings, and I don't know what Zhou Guanyu's specific ranking is in this race.

But sitting in the car, Qin Miao had no way to talk to Zhou Guanyu directly, and his gestures couldn't express his meaning well.

However, Zhou Guanyu ran to Qin Miao's side at this time, obviously not to come over to see how Qin Miao was doing after he didn't win the championship, he was completely here to show off.

So before Qin Miao could figure out a way to ask, Zhou Guanyu directly stretched out his hand from the cockpit of his racing car and made an eight gesture to Qin Miao.

Qin Miao also understood what Zhou Guanyu meant after seeing it, and then smiled and gave Zhou Guanyu a thumbs up.

"Awesome!"

Soon, the drivers were back in the pits, Leclerc took the lead in the position that belonged to the champion, while Sainz and Qin Miao stopped a little behind.

After parking the car, Qin Miao did not get out of the car in a hurry, but sat in the car and sighed.

Although he has accepted the fact that Mei Ben's competitiveness has lost this season, looking at Leclerc celebrating in the distance, Qin Miao still can't help but feel a little envious.

But soon, Qin Miao smiled self-deprecatingly.

No man is content.

Human beings are like this, and they are not exempt from vulgarity.

However, Qin Miao quickly adjusted her mentality, and just as she was about to get up, a pair of Ferrari gloves stretched out in front of Qin Miao.

Qin Miao was slightly stunned, then smiled and stretched out his hand to shake Sainz's hand, and then stretched out his hand and patted the back of Sainz's hand.

It was as if all the contradictions and doubts between the two of them because of the position of Ferrari were solved at this moment.

Just because of this game, Sainz finally defeated Qin Miao and defeated his own demons.

Although it may not be so glamorous to win, you can say that you have won or not.

Qin Miao didn't say anything, because the other party couldn't hear what he said at this time.

After saying hello to Qin Miao, Sainz walked towards Leclerc, and he was about to enjoy his victory.

Qin Miao, on the other hand, unfastened the seat belt of the racing car, removed the steering wheel, and got out of the car.

However, Qin Miao did not go to the interview area for the first time, but went to the parking area of the other drivers behind.

Soon Qin Miao saw Zhou Guanyu.

Zhou Guanyu, who was chatting with Alonso, saw Qin Miao coming, and after talking to Alonso, he rushed to Qin Miao with a smile and took three or two steps, picked up Qin Miao and turned around twice: "Hahahaha, Qin Miao, do you think I'm awesome?" Eighth! I'm eighth! ”

"Awesome! Awesome! Qin Miao was also sincerely happy for Zhou Guanyu.

After all, strictly speaking, Zhou Guanyu has his own share of his achievements, and it is in vain that he sacrificed so many people's rest and entertainment time to teach Zhou Guanyu a lot of things.

Now Qin Miao looks at Zhou Guanyu, and he has a sense of relief and accomplishment that the old father has seen his children succeed in learning.

"I haven't been in vain for so long to teach you my father." Qin Miao smiled and sighed.

"NMD, get out!" Zhou Guanyu scolded with a smile, and then gave Qin Miao another punch, looked at Qin Miao's expression, and didn't see too much disappointment from Qin Miao's face because of the unsatisfactory results in this game, Zhou Guanyu was a lot more relieved.

After a few laughs and chats with Zhou Guanyu, and then said hello to Alonso and his teammate Hamilton, Qin Miao returned to the post-match interview area.

At this time, Leclerc had just escaped from the embrace of the Scuderia Ferrari staff and the higher-ups.

Qin Miao didn't rush to Leclerc to celebrate, but hugged the staff of his team first.

It is worth mentioning that Toto was not present during the post-match celebrations.

In fact, this is normal, no one would have thought that Mei Ben, who dominated the paddock last season, will be like this directly.

If Qin Miao was the leader of the team, he wouldn't want to appear in the camera too much at this time.

So Qin Miao hugged his track engineer Frankie and other senior executives of the Mercedes team.

Elliott patted Qin Miao's back and said, "You are already great today, you have done a good job, don't be discouraged, the season is still very long, we will catch up." ”

Qin Miao smiled and nodded: "I believe in the team!" ”

In fact, Qin Miao also noticed at this time, although everyone was smiling and applauding after seeing Qin Miao coming, but the demeanor of everyone on the side of the Mercedes team was not as relaxed as the Ferrari staff on the other side.

It can only be said that the gap between the champion and the third place is still a bit big, and not everyone has a big heart, and they can accept this result immediately.

After hugging the technicians of her own car group again, after Qin Miao came to Qiu Meng, the girl stood on tiptoe and patted Qin Miao's helmet: "It's great!" ”

"I know, but I don't feel very good." Qin Miao said in Qiu Meng's ear in Chinese.

"Normal, don't worry, the team will be upgraded in the future, I believe that with your ability, after the performance gap of the car in the later stage is not so big, you can definitely use the gap in hard power to make up for the lack of car performance."

This girl seems to be like this forever, full of confidence in Qin Miao's talent in racing, and sometimes Qin Miao even feels that this girl believes in her own ability more than herself.

Smiling, reaching out and touching Qiu Meng's smiling face, Qin Miao turned around and prepared to be interviewed.

And by this time Leclerc had already taken off his helmet.

Seeing Qin Miao coming, this guy directly ignored his somewhat crazy hairstyle, and opened his arms with a smile, the smile on his face was full of confidence and strength.

Coupled with that damn handsome face, it actually has a bit of the chic and calm of the anime protagonist.

"Congratulations, Charles, it looks like I've been able to see your taillights a lot this season."

"It seems to be true, but I still hope to have a chance to play with you on the track."

As he spoke, Leclerc and Qin Miao had already shaken hands with each other, and then hugged each other.

Qin Miao patted Leclerc's back vigorously: "Then you'd better be the one who is attacked by me, or you will wait to be locked by me." ”

Leclerc let go of Qin Miao and said, "Really? Then I hope that when the time comes, you will be surpassed by me in the arena and don't cry your nose. ”

After hearing this, Qin Miao said with a smile: "If you really overtake me and discredit me, then I will set up a telephoto camera on the balcony and shoot at your house every day." ”

Leclerc was stunned for a moment, and then reluctantly spread his hands and said, "Well, you did threaten me." ”

After saying that, they both laughed together.

The main reason why the two laughed was that they thought of the telescope on the balcony of Qin Miao's house that could see Leclerc's house at the same time.

In fact, in Monaco, in addition to not being able to photograph passers-by with cameras on the streets, you are also not allowed to use mobile phones to take random photos at home.

When it comes to privacy, Monaco is one of the best in the world.

didn't talk for too long, after packing up their things, Qin Miao and Leclerc went to go through the post-game process together.

It is worth mentioning that although Qin Miao was the latest to come, Qin Miao was the first to go through the post-match process and come to the camera for an interview.

There are also not so many rules for post-race interviews at the F1 Grand Prix, which is basically whoever comes in front of the host first, and the host asks questions first.

So after Qin Miao came to the host, the post-game interview began.

"Qin Miao, it is not difficult to see from the performance of the Meiben team this week that you have encountered a lot of problems this season, and the whole race is very difficult.

But despite this, you still got this podium. ”

Qin Miao touched her nose and ...... with difficulty

In fact, to be honest, Qin Miao didn't think that today's race was so difficult, after all, Qin Miao's game was not to mention offense and defense, and not a single driver who could be threatened by himself or threaten himself had never appeared.

If you really want to talk about it, Qin Miao's deepest feeling in this game is helplessness, a kind of helplessness that he has brute strength, but he has nowhere to go.

However, Qin Miao can't say that, and it is easy to make the riders behind him feel uncomfortable when he says this in the post-race interview.

"yes, we had a lot of problems at the start of this race, and we struggled with the car from the first practice session and couldn't find a good tuning window.

But congratulations to Ferrari and Leclerc on their success in this race, and it's great to see such a historic team back in the ranks of competitive teams. ”

"When do you think you'll be able to regain your competitiveness? I think there must be a lot of fans in the far East who are looking forward to your return, right? ”

Qin Miao nodded noncommittally: "I can't guarantee this, but we did gain a lot of good data in this game, and the next time is to return to the team to start developing and upgrading the car, although it may not be soon, but we will keep it going and strive to return to the leading group as soon as possible." ”

Because it was the third place, the real protagonist of this game was still waiting on the side, so Qin Miao's post-game interview only had two questions, so after finishing speaking, Qin Miao waved at them amid the cheers of the audience and his fans, and then went upstairs to prepare to participate in the final prize receiving session.

And after Qin Miao left the camera, Brother Bing and others on the side of Five Star Sports patiently watched the post-game interviews of Leclerc and Sainz before they began to summarize Qin Miao's performance in this game.

"Even though we saw a picture that we didn't want to see, Mercedes lost their competitiveness.

However, at present, the state of the two Meiben drivers and the demeanor of Qin Miao in the interview just now can be seen that Meiben has a plan to strengthen the car, or upgrade. ”

"That's right." "We also want to believe that with the heritage of the Mercedes team for so many years and its industrial capacity, not to mention half a year, but at least I still think that Mercedes can return to the competition for the championship before the last five races of the year," said Shrimp Brother. ”

……

【G Brothers】

[Why did Mei Ben pull it? ] 】

[I thought Mei Ben was holding back some big move this Grand Prix weekend, but I didn't expect to pull a big lump for me. 】

[At least it seems that Qin Miao's state has not been affected by this]

[The opening game of the 22 season, Mercedes, began to look forward to 2023, saying yes]

……

Later, under the introduction of the on-site host, Qin Miao, who was wearing a black Meiben team uniform, took the lead on the podium.

After that, there was Sainz, and the last to come out was naturally Leclerc and Binotto.

As a race that started Ferrari's 2022 season, Binotto, as the Ferrari team principal, seemed so natural to take the stage at this time.

What is rare is that Qin Miao finally heard the fourth national anthem on the top podium of F1 in addition to his own country, the United Kingdom, and the Dutch national anthem.

Don't look at Qin Miao, he lives in Monaco, but this is really the first time he has heard the national anthem of Monaco.

To be honest, it's also full of freshness.

And strictly speaking, all four people on stage are inextricably linked to Ferrari.

Let's not talk about the three people who belong to Ferrari, and Qin Miao is also from Ferrari.

So when the national anthem was over, and the Middle Eastern tyrants on the scene finished awarding trophies to Leclerc and others, and began to spray champagne, the four of them didn't see each other at all, and soon made a mess.

And it is worth mentioning that in the final group photo stage, Qin Miao was specially pulled to his side by Binotto to take a photo.

It is not difficult to see that Binotto still has feelings for Qin Miao.

After the group photo ended, Qin Miao chatted with Binotto about something and stepped off the stage.

Next, the competition gave the world Formula 1 Grand Prix, the 2022 Paris Grand Prix driver rankings and scores:

P1: Leclerc +26 (fastest lap)

P2: Sainz +18

P3: Qin Miao +14

P4: Hamilton +12

P5: Magnussen +10

P6: Bottas +8

P7: Ocon +6

P8: Zhou Guanyu +4

P9: Tsunoda +2

P10: Alonso +1

In this race, Ferrari can be described as a big victory, Leclerc even won the pole position in qualifying, first in the race, and at the same time won the fastest lap of the race, while Sainz also won second, and Ferrari took home two cars.

A real slam.

The Mercedes team finished third and fourth after both Red Bull drivers retired.

At least in terms of Mercedes' current performance, this ranking is enough for them.

Magnussen, who finished fifth, surprised everyone, and he was able to catch up to fifth after finishing eighth, which no one dared to think before the race.

This is the highlight of the season for the Haas team.

Alfa Romeo, who struggled to get into Q2 last season, looks poised to become a regular in the points this season, provided that Arrow can solve the gearbox problem in their car.

The Drivers' Standings are the same as the Drivers' Scores after the finish, so I won't go into too much detail here.

The constructors' standings are as follows.

1: Ferrari: 44

2: Mercedes: 26

3: Alfa Romeo: 12

4: Haas: 10

5:Alpine:8

6: Little Red Bull: 2

7: Aston Martin: 0

8: Williams: 0

9: McLaren: 0

10: Red Bull: 0

The opening game of the 2022 season is destined to be a series of surprises.

The rise of Ferrari, the fall of Mercedes-Benz, the two-car retirement of Red Bull in the opening race, and even the completion of a Red Bull car with a Honda engine, and even the rise of the two teams of Arrow and Haas, are all dizzying.

People can't help but sigh that this must be another season with the same excitement as the 2021 season.

At the same time, among Qin Miao's three system tasks, Qin Miao only completed the first two.

[Mission 1: Finish on the podium of the 2022 Bahrain Grand Prix (completed)]

【Reward: Team Free Attribute Points*1】

[Mission 2: Not to be overtaken by any driver during the 2022 Bahrain Grand Prix (completed)]

【Reward: Team Free Attribute Points*1】

[Mission 3: Overtake four cars in the main stage of the 2022 Bahrain Grand Prix (Fail)]

[Reward: Attack Ability Score +1]

After getting these two points of the team's free attribute points, Qin Miao did not hesitate, after all, the Meiben Racing Car at this time was already a little powerless on the track due to the problem of racing car research and development.

Therefore, Qin Miao directly used the two free attribute points of the team that he had just obtained and the one free attribute point he had saved from his previous mission.
