Although Qin Miao was still ranked fifth in this game, Qin Miao also had a chance to look forward to the podium in this game.

According to the simulation data, the consumption of tires on this track is very small, and basically most teams will choose yellow and white and yellow and white and yellow and stop on this track.

And Qin Miao can try to stop red and yellow or yellow and red.

In this way, as long as there are no safety cars or red flags on the track, with Qin Miao's long-distance speed, he can at least try to wrestle with Ferrari and Red Bull.

But maybe that's it, it's still that problem, Qin Miao's personal ability also has a limit, and it is impossible for him to smooth out the 0.5-second lap time gap by relying on his personal ability alone.

The next day, Sunday, is the day when the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix begins.

Qin Miao has been a little indifferent to today's race, and now he doesn't have much of the desire for the championship that he had last season, he is a bit like Alonso at this time, purely enjoying the fun of racing, and try to move forward as many positions as possible if he can.

After completing the pre-race group photo, parade, and interview, Qin Miao rested in the team for a while, and when he looked at the audience in the P room, Qiu Meng stood there looking at Qin Miao.

Seeing Qin Miao looking over, this girl's eyes were full of encouragement, and she raised her little fist at Qin Miao and said, "Come on!" ”

Qin Miao smiled after seeing Qiu Meng's movements, and handed Qiu Meng a look that showed the other party to be reassured.

It is worth mentioning that Qiu Meng is also a "liking the new and hating the old".

Jay Chou also came on Sunday, but because of the restrictions in the team's P room, today he went to the VIP audience upstairs, where there is a good view of eating and drinking, and it is indeed a good place to go, at least it is more comfortable than staying in the team's P room to watch the game.

And Qiu Meng didn't follow the past.

The main thing is that after staying with Jay Chou for a day in the qualifying round, this girl can be regarded as getting acquainted with Jay Chou, and the filter for idols in her heart is almost broken.

Therefore, Qiu Meng knew that Jay Chou was watching the game in the Meiben VIP viewing area upstairs, and she didn't bother to go up.

After the time was almost up, Qin Miao also went to the track.

At this time, Qin Miao's car had already stopped on the track, and the sky was gradually darkening.

However, it was not time for the game to start, and it would take about ten minutes to wait.

Simply Qin Miao took her own water and sat down on the parapet wall on the side of the track, waiting for her car to be ready while taking a sip of water to pass the time.

It's just that after a while, a person also sat beside Qin Miao.

Looking over his head, Zhou Guanyu, who was wearing the uniform of the Arrow team, was sitting next to Qin Miao.

Qin Miao didn't say anything, and took out a notebook from under her ass and handed it to Zhou Guanyu.

These notebooks were originally used to record the inspection of the racing car, and there were boxes like a table like a checklist.

Because there are a lot of items that need to be tested.,So the book is not small.,It's just right to use it to pad your butt to prevent your racing suit from being soiled by the dust on the track.。

Zhou Guanyu didn't dislike it, and after taking the things handed over by Qin Miao, he put them under his buttocks.

After sitting down, Zhou Guanyu said: "How do you evaluate today's game?" ”

Qin Miao laughed: "Why are you like those roving reporters in the live broadcast room, catch an anchor and ask how to evaluate this and that, and then take the evaluation videos of these anchors out of context." ”

Zhou Guanyu will also start a live broadcast when playing games because of Qin Miao, after all, he plays games quite well, and often plays games with Qin Miao, and has the identity of an F1 driver, and many fans will watch his live broadcast, and naturally they have encountered this kind of person.

However, Zhou Guanyu rolled his eyes and said, "I'm down to business, don't interrupt." ”

"Then how can you evaluate it, this guy is a participant."

Zhou Guanyu shook his head and smiled: "It seems that I am worried about you in vain, I thought that you were still dominating the field last season, but this season will not work, and you will not be able to accept the reality because of the big gap." ”

"Then I really thank you." Although Qin Miao said so, but thank you These three words Qin Miao specially added an accent, and it was obvious from the tone that what Qin Miao said was not a good thing.

But Zhou Guanyu didn't care, spread his hands and said: "Although it is said that father's love is like a mountain, but sometimes, fathers have to put their love into practice." ”

After giving Zhou Guanyu a punch, Qin Miao asked angrily, "Are you here to persuade me or to mess with my mentality?" ”

"Haha, it's okay, I just saw you sitting here in the back like a child that no one wants, a little lonely......"

"You can't have some nice words in your mouth, can you?

I found that the sentence was really true, distance produces beauty, before I knew you, I thought you were quite cold, and after I met you, I only felt that you were unlucky. ”

"All causes will have results, and your retribution is mine!"

Shaking his head, Qin Miao changed the topic: "Have you done the starting procedure for your team?" I haven't seen you practice starting at the pit exit during practice, so you won't have a problem again in today's race, right? ”

It's all about the rare sigh, and scratched his hair a little irritably before saying: "I've practiced, you just didn't notice."

However, although the team said that it had improved this aspect of the problem, and there had been a system upgrade, there would still be a situation of preventing the flameout and forcibly intervening after the start during the test. ”

"What then?"

"What to do? Bear with it, and pray that there will be no such problems at the start of the race. ”

"I really don't know if you're lucky or not, if you're unlucky, but the team has been really good this season, and you're lucky, and you often have problems at the start."

"Don't talk about this, it's really unlucky......"

……

After Zhou Guanyu left, looking at the other party's back, Qin Miao was still a little warm-hearted.

Although these two people basically didn't have a serious chat, they began to want to be each other's fathers while chatting.

And he is not as fragile as Zhou Guanyu said, and he is very uncomfortable after there is a gap.

But the care of friends is something that many people can't ask for, at least because of Zhou Guanyu's trouble, Qin Miao's heart is not much, and the gloomy mood born because of the performance of the car has disappeared.

Looking at the Rolex clock in the distance, the time was almost up, Qin Miao got up and patted his buttocks, shook the dust on the two books, and then came to Reyes's side.

After getting the two books that Qin Miao returned, Reyes also made a joke: "I have to find a way to hide the check book that the world champion's ass has sat on, and it is estimated that it can be sold for a lot of money in the future." ”

Qin Miao smiled and gave Reyes a middle finger.

has been working together for almost a year, Qin Miao has no shelf, and is basically familiar with the staff in the team, plus this is Qin Miao's crew, and the relationship with them is naturally very good, and there is no psychological burden when playing.

After returning the book in his hand to the other party, Qin Miao put on his helmet, fixed the Hans system, and entered the racing car.

Reyes came over to help Qin Miao fix the headrest, and then helped Qin Miao check all kinds of protective equipment, and after making sure that there was no problem, he patted Qin Miao's helmet and said: "After the inspection, relax, run well, don't be knocked down by temporary difficulties, in our hearts you will always be the strongest F1 driver, you only need to wait for an opportunity now." ”

Qin Miao nodded and didn't say anything.

After another five minutes, the staff on the track began to withdraw one after another.

Franky's voice came through the team TR: "Okay Qin Miao, the race is about to start, the weather is good today, the possibility of rain is very low, the air temperature is 27 degrees, the track temperature is 29 degrees, it may be a little cold, pay attention to fully warm up your tires."

The air humidity is 81%, protect your right front wheel.

Finally, I wish you all the best in the race, come on! ”

"Roger."

After briefly understanding the track conditions of this race, Qin Miao waited for another three minutes, and then all the staff on the track withdrew.

At eight o'clock local time in Saudi Arabia, the warm-up lap began.

In today's game, Qin Miao started on soft tires.

It's just that because the driver in front of Qin Miao is Verstappen, after seeing the tires used by Qin Miao at the beginning, the commentators still have a trace of expectation for Qin Miao to surpass Verstappen.

However, these discussions don't matter to Qin Miao now.

After the warm-up lap, Qin Miao returned to his parking position, with Sainz in front and Verstappen in front right.

As for the riders in the back? Qin Miao still has the confidence that he will not be threatened by the two riders behind him after starting.

With Russell at the back pulling over in his spot and the safety car in the rear in place, the race was about to begin.

Five red lights come on and go off...... The competition is officially on!

Qin Miao's start was as steady and fast as ever, but neither the Ferrari nor Red Bull drivers in today's race wanted to give Qin Miao any chance.

So from the broadcast footage, it can be seen that the top 5 drivers started almost synchronously, and Qin Miao did rely on the advantage of soft tires to shorten the gap between him and Verstappen in front of him a little bit.

But this proximity rate is too small to allow Qin Miao to attack Verstappen before T1.

And T1 is a right bend again, even if Qin Miao is side by side with Verstappen wheel to wheel before T1, with Verstappen's position and his character, he can't just let Qin Miao overtake him.

The advantage of soft tyres in the starting stage is gone.

But Qin Miao didn't feel a pity, after all, this is an F1 game, there are losses and wins, and everything can't be so smooth.

Qin Miao's side couldn't attack the car in front of him, but Verstappen, because of the advantage of position and the speed advantage of the car in the low-speed corner, found an opportunity to suppress Sainz on the outside of T2, and used his inside advantage to complete the overtaking of Sainz in the left turn of T3.

After the start, he managed to move up from fourth to third

In addition, among the riders in front of Qin Miao, there was no change in position.

In the rear, Zhou Guanyu once again made a puzzling starting mistake, he was the eleventh starter, and after the start, the car had anti-stall protection at the start.

By the time his car regained momentum, his car was back in last place.

However, the pace of Arrow's car was still good this season, so it didn't take long for him to catch up with Russell in front of him.

And on the second lap he overtook Russell.

In fact, Russell still struggled a little, but in terms of straight speed, Williams was really inferior to Arrow's Ferrari engine.

Unlike Zhou Guanyu, who quickly regained his rhythm, Hamilton's form in the qualifying stage of the rear continued to the main race, and when the race came to the sixth lap, Hamilton was still in 14th, and Zhou Guanyu even chased behind Hamilton at this time.

In front, Qin Miao also relied on the soft tire advantage of his car, and after the start, he was not too far away by Sainz in front of him, and when the race came to the 6th lap, he was still 3 seconds behind Sainz.

Qin Miao in front of him opened a time gap of more than 6 seconds with Ao Kang behind him, which only ran six laps.

But although it seems that Meiben Racing seems to have regained its competitiveness, in fact, Qin Miao still can't catch up with Sainz.

Qin Miao actually tried to push forward with all his strength after the time gap between Sainz and himself reached a position of 2.5 seconds, and the turbulence in the front car basically did not affect him.

But the lap that Qin Miao pushed with all his might could only ensure that he had the same speed as Sainz.

In such a state, it was difficult for Qin Miao to get close to the car in front, let alone overtake the car in front.

Therefore, at this time, Qin Miao also began to cruise, and he needed to let his soft tires run as many laps as possible.

But what's interesting is that when the race came to the ninth lap, Qin Miao found that Aokang behind him didn't know why, and his teammate Alonso was fighting on the track.

You are superego, I superimpose yours.

When Qin Miao came back to his senses, because of the struggle between his teammates, the time gap between Qin Miao and the two of them was expanded to 8 seconds.

At the end of lap 15, Leclerc learned from Mercedes and said in the TR of the team directly before the pit stop that he was ready to make a pit stop.

The team's P room also moved four brand new hard tires to the track according to Leclerc's wishes, and the team staff were also ready in their respective positions, and when Leclerc came in, they would replace him with new tires.

Coupled with the fact that Leclerc's side started to accelerate after the team said it, it gave the impression that he was going to run out of tires on this lap.

Red Bull was immediately convinced.

The idea on Red Bull's side is very simple, I, Perez, are in front of you anyway, then I will become a copy ninja.

I'll do whatever you want, and then Pérez pits.

Then came the dramatic scene, after Pérez pitted, Leclerc did not pit, and Pérez was tricked into pitting.
