And Qin Miao's teammate Hamilton also failed to get points in this game.

To be honest, Qin Miao didn't know exactly what the other party had encountered, but it was obvious that with Hamilton's character, he would have some complaints when he returned to the team home for the post-race meeting.

In the overall drivers' standings, Qin Miao is still in second place.

Although Qin Miao also knows that his current position is only temporary, he can get this ranking more because of the foil of his peers and his own stability.

However, thinking that he might miss this position in the near future and fall behind, Qin Miao also felt a little uncomfortable.

In the constructors' standings, Mercedes was also pushed out of second place, with Red Bull moving up to second with 95 points after a strong performance by two drivers.

After the competition ended, Qin Miao participated in the prize acceptance activities after the game as usual.

After this part of the work was over, Qin Miao returned to the home of the team.

During the period of waiting for the post-match meeting, Qin Miao usually used the computer in his lounge to watch his car video of the game.

See if you did something wrong or made a big mistake during the game.

After all, the race had just ended, and it was easier to recall what you were thinking on the track when you were looking for your own problems.

It can also provide an idea for improving your driving habits.

Once any problems are found, Qin Miao will record them in the form of documents on his computer.

However, just when Qin Miao was busy, there was a knock on the door of his lounge.

Qin Miao was stunned for a moment.

Because they have also been in the Meiben team for so long, everyone also has the most basic understanding of Qin Miao's habits during the race weekend.

At this point, normally no one should bother you.

Of course, despite some doubts in his heart, Qin Miao still closed the screen of his computer, got up and opened the door of the lounge.

It's just that after opening the door, the person standing at the door made Qin Miao feel very surprised: "Lewis? ”

"Good afternoon, Qin Miao, I didn't bother you, did I?"

"Of course, come in and sit down."

Although he didn't know what Hamilton came to him for this time, Qin Miao still gave Hamilton a place to let him in.

After Hamilton sat down, Qin Miao took an unopened bottle of mineral water from the cabinet where he put water in his lounge.

"Thank you." Hamilton took it and thanked him politely.

Then Qin Miao sat down in front of Hamilton.

It is worth mentioning that this is the first time that Hamilton has taken the initiative to find Qin Miao after Qin Miao took the world championship from Hamilton last season.

Therefore, Qin Miao was so surprised when he saw that the person standing at the door was Hamilton.

After sitting down, the two looked at each other for a while, and then it was Hamilton who spoke first.

"Qin Miao, I won't sell Guanzi anymore."

Qin Miao nodded, putting on a deaf look.

"We both have similar driving styles, right?"

"It's true that the two of us only have some differences in driving styles in some subtle habits." There is nothing to deny this, Qin Miao is naturally telling the truth.

"Because of this, I've always had a doubt in my mind, even though we both have similar driving styles, but I can't play the limits of this car." Hamilton said with some headaches: "And you can always produce results that are satisfactory to the team......

At this point, Hamilton paused, and then said, "So I came to you this time, mainly to ask, how did you manage to control this car perfectly?"

When I drive the W13, I always have the feeling that the car could break out of my grip at any moment.

I don't feel like I'm racing this car, I'm fighting it on the track. ”

Qin Miao was very surprised that Hamilton actually came to me, the biggest competitor, to learn from him.

However, Qin Miao didn't think much about it, after all, Qin Miao was not a person who liked to hide and tuck.

So Qin Miao said directly: "I don't know what specific problems you have encountered, but if you can, send me a copy of the settings of your car and the telemetry data of this race, and I will help you take a look?"

Of course, if you want, I can also give me telemetry to see if there are any differences in driving style and some of the car subsystem settings. ”

"Of course, I can't ask for it." Hamilton nodded immediately.

And directly took out a USB flash drive, and at first glance, it was prepared.

Qin Miao didn't twist either, and after taking the USB flash drive in Hamilton's hand, he directly inserted it into his laptop.

And after Hamilton opened the screen of Qin Miao's laptop, he also saw the car video of the main stage of today's game displayed on Qin Miao's laptop.

After seeing this picture, Hamilton couldn't help but secretly speak, no wonder Qin Miao's competitiveness on the track was amazing, and after the race, he reviewed his game video for the first time, and from the perspective of time, Qin Miao had also watched it for a while.

After discovering this, Hamilton also had a feeling of admiration for Qin Miao.

At least Qin Miao's attitude towards the profession of racing has always been so focused and serious.

Minimize the video on his computer, and then Qin Miao opened the file in Hamilton's USB flash drive.

It looks like the telemetry from Hamilton's game.

After that, Qin Miao also asked Frankie for his telemetry data.

Qin Miao's laptop has two screens, one is the main screen and the other is the secondary screen, which is just enough to put his telemetry data underneath and make a simple comparison with Hamilton's.

Then the two began to discuss the main intention and purpose of their own settings, as well as the effects of such settings.

……

Sometimes people are so weird.

When the other party does not have a conflict of interest with you, the two of you will get along very harmoniously.

But once there is a conflict of interest, the relationship between the two will deteriorate, and even the two will not say a word in private except when they appear in public pictures.

But now that both drivers have lost their chance to compete for the World Championship, it's time to get together and start talking about how to solve the lack of performance and tuning of the car this season.

After some analysis, Qin Miao found that in many corners, his braking point was earlier than Hamilton, and his speed of entering the corner was faster than Hamilton.

Although it is very subtle, this difference can still be seen at a glance for Qin Miao, a person who often watches post-game replays and in-car videos.

After thinking for a while, Qin Miao asked Hamilton, "Lewis, when you were driving the car, did you feel anything about this car that made you feel obviously uncomfortable?" ”

Hearing this, Hamilton nodded helplessly: "That's too much." ”

"First of all, the most unacceptable thing for me is the problem of dolphin jumping."

Facing Qin Miaona: "This is also a problem?" Hamilton explained: "Maybe people of your age don't have much experience, but when you get older, your physical function will indeed decline, and it can't be compared to before." ”

Hamilton said with some melancholy: "Basically, every time I finish a race, my back hurts.

On top of that, cars are always oversteered when braking into corners, and you know how uncomfortable it can be for drivers like us who like to understeer when a car is oversteered. ”

Qin Miao nodded, the feeling that you obviously just want to get stuck in the grip of the car and throw the car into the corner, but the car wants to drift into the corner by itself.

After thinking for a while, Qin Miao asked, "Then have you tried to adjust the center of gravity of the brakes backwards?" ”

Hamilton raised an eyebrow: "This change has had little effect, right?" ”

Hamilton was under the impression that the oversteer was caused by excessive downforce at the rear of the car, and even if the center of gravity of the brakes was shifted to the rear wheels, the aerodynamics of the car could not be changed.

When entering and cornering, he should oversteer or oversteer.

Qin Miao snapped her fingers, and the problem was here.

"Actually, you can shift the brake focus more to the rear wheels when you try to enter the corner at the next Miami Grand Prix."

Hamilton nodded slightly, which can be regarded as saying that he knew Qin Miao's thoughts, but then Hamilton said with some doubts: "But after adjusting the braking ratio of the car backwards, the braking distance will become farther, so that the impact on the lap time will still be great." ”

Qin Miao nodded: "There is indeed a problem in this regard, so I usually find a relatively most suitable braking point in the heavy braking area during the practice match, and then set the corresponding braking preset." ”

Hamilton nodded, and while doing so would undoubtedly increase the pressure on him during practice matches, there seemed to be no better solution at the moment.

And now Hamilton's performance in these games is not as good as Qin Miao, not to mention the problem of the car itself, at least Hamilton's speed is not as good as Qin Miao, which can show that Hamilton is inferior to Qin Miao in the development of the potential of this car.

He couldn't get the most out of the car.

So Hamilton prepared that after today's work was over, he would try Qin Miao's approach when he got home.

However, Hamilton was still a little puzzled: "Why can adjusting the brake center of gravity of the car solve this problem for us?" On what basis?

Of course Qin Miao, I'm not questioning your suggestion, I'm just a little confused. ”

Qin Miao rubbed her eyebrows: "Actually, I don't know." ”

In Hamilton's stunned and somewhat ridiculous eyes, Qin Miao spread his hands and said, "I just felt that during the practice session, I felt that this setting could maximize the speed of the car in and out of the high-speed corners.

And it turns out that my choice wasn't wrong, didn't it? ”

Although Qin Miao said it very vaguely, Hamilton knew what Qin Miao meant: Although I do sacrifice a certain amount of speed by doing this, at least my lap speed and long-distance speed are faster than yours.

However, Hamilton didn't care, after all, it was a fact, and then Hamilton moved on to another topic: "Then you didn't ask Alisson about this?" ”

"Yes, but they also said that if they want to verify this problem, they have to go to the wind tunnel to test to know the reason, and now the wind tunnel time is limited, and it is impossible to waste precious wind tunnel time on solving my personal doubts." Speaking of this, Qin Miao paused: "And it should not be difficult for you to see that after entering the era of ground effects, Alisson and them are also a little in a hurry, and the research and development of racing cars are a little confused." ”

Hamilton also nodded thoughtfully, and finally said to Qin Miao Zhengse: "I have benefited a lot from this conversation with you, thank you very much for your teaching, but I am still a little curious, of course, I am definitely not the only one who is so curious, why can your tires last so long?" ”

Faced with this clichéd question, Qin Miao smiled and spread her hands: "I'm sorry, Lewis, I really can't explain this problem to you, it's completely a driver's instinct, as long as I want to, I will naturally do this." ”

Hamilton got up with a smile and said, "you, I won't believe it, you must still have something hidden." ”

After finishing speaking, Hamilton waved his hand at Qin Miao and said, "But I won't ask any questions, the meeting will be held later, you can continue to busy you, I can't continue to bother you." ”

Qin Miao nodded a little helplessly, she also had her own difficulties in this matter, and she couldn't explain it to them so clearly.

After Hamilton left, Qin Miao leaned back on his chair with his head in his hands, turned his head to look at Hamilton's telemetry data on his computer screen, and silently chose to delete it.

It is worth mentioning that in the team meeting after the race, Alisson just mentioned the problem that Qin Miao and Hamilton talked about.

In fact, this is not a problem that Alisson discovered during their own testing, but by observing the attitude of Ferrari and Red Bull cars in and out of corners during the race.

Ferrari is actually okay, they have been very competitive this season, mainly thanks to the new engine that Binotto brought to Ferrari.

This season's Ferrari is a bit like Mercedes in previous seasons.

What really makes Alisson important is that Red Bull's cars rarely change much in the nose angle when braking when they enter and exit corners.

However, when Braking at a high-speed braking point, the car's center of gravity shifts forward, and the angle of the nose wing tilts downward.

In short, the front suspension will be compressed due to braking force, resulting in the aerodynamic shape of the front wing being destroyed, the downforce will be reduced, the braking distance will be longer, and the car's aerodynamic package will not be able to perform its original performance when entering corners, resulting in a decrease in the car's grip when entering corners.

Reminiscent of the problem that Qin Miao reported to them some time ago, so the team judged that this was a very critical point, and the main upgrade of the team would revolve around the front nose wing, and it would also pay attention to the suspension problem.

Of course, the new baseplate and side box air intake upgrades, which have been prepared and developed in previous weeks, will also be in place before the start of the Miami Grand Prix.

The two main purposes of these two upgrades are to improve the tightness of the car's floor plate, sealing the airflow in the floor more thoroughly, allowing the downforce of the floor to compete with the rear suspension of the car, and slowing down the frequency of dolphin jumps.

On the other hand, the side box air intakes further reduce the volume of the side box air intakes and direct more airflow towards the rear diffuser area.

This gives the car a greater advantage in the straight tail speed without worrying about the engine overheating.

After these few races, Mercedes found that the durability of his team's engine has been greatly improved compared to last season.

The high temperature operating stability is also very impressive, so the projection area of the car body can be further reduced.

Even if the flow of air from the air intakes is reduced, the engine can be guaranteed to work properly during the race.

It's just that the design of the engine air intakes of the Mercedes is somewhat contrary to the air intake design of other teams.

Red Bull's engine intake design is a Chinese word from the front, while the Mercedes side is an Arabic numeral 1.

Most of the other teams are in the style of the English letter D.

It can only be said that the design of these two teams is more extreme than the other.

Now Qin Miao can't be sure what the specific effects of the two upgrades of the car will bring, but it is undeniable that he is still looking forward to whether the team with the blessing of his skills can bring him a surprise.

After the meeting ended, Qin Miao flew back to Monaco on the same day.

It is rare to have a break, and Qin Miao can't soak in the team factory if he is fine.

So when I was done with work, I went home once.

Stayed comfortably at home for two days

And in the past two days, Qin Miao took the time to go out for a meal with Leclerc.

After all, strictly speaking, last week's third place should have been Leclerc's, but because of Leclerc's own mistakes, he could only finish sixth in the end.

This kind of thing is put on Qin Miao's body, Qin Miao absolutely can't stand it.

It's just that after really meeting Leclerc, Qin Miao unexpectedly found that Leclerc's mood was very calm.

Although it can't be said that there were no emotional fluctuations about his performance that day, Leclerc just sighed after talking about it, and then it was time to do something.

It can only be said that although Leclerc's stability on the field is a little worse, and there are often some mistakes that should not occur, at least he is still very good at regulating his emotions.

The time soon came to Wednesday, and Qin Miao, who had rested for two days, returned to the UK.

In recent days, Zhou Guanyu has been away from home, and he has gone to Hinwil, Switzerland, which is the headquarters of the Arrow team.

I guess I'm going to work, too.

And for the rest of the period until the start of the Miami Grand Prix, Qin Miao stayed at the team factory.

It's Tuesday.

Normally, Qin Miao usually departs for the competition location on Wednesday, but Miami at this stop is obviously different.

According to the organizers of the Miami Grand Prix, one of the most common packages has sold for $15,000 a ticket this Grand Prix weekend.

That's right, it's just a three-day ticket in the most ordinary way.

It's not the VIP viewing area above the team, nor the grandstand area for those good locations.

And even tickets for these positions are hard to find, and on the secondary market, a ticket is even more expensive than $17,000.

It can be seen that the commercial potential of F1 in the US market is not insignificant.

Therefore, Qin Miao needs to go over in advance to participate in some local activities held by team sponsors, of course, the venue fee is given, and the cost is not low.

So on Tuesday, Qin Miao went out.

This time, Qin Miao didn't take Zhou Guanyu with him, Zhou Guanyu went directly from Switzerland with most of the staff of his team this week, so Qin Miao only took Qiu Meng and Barber with him to Miami this time.

After the plane landed, the people sent by the convoy took Qin Miao to the convoy's hotel.

After having lunch, Qin Miao began the marketing work of the team before the competition.

To Qin Miao's surprise, when participating in these marketing efforts, many of the people who came to the scene to watch seemed to be his fans.

Many people shouted their names in Chinese with a strange accent.

In addition, Qin Miao was also invited to the largest gun shop in the area, and then experienced the Gatling in a Humvee-mounted car at their shooting range.

The photographer who went with Qin Miao also used his camera to record the whole process of Qin Miao's expression from calm expression to gradually rampant smile.

Of course, Qin Miao's pre-game activities did not stop there, he went to watch an NBA, and even in the warm-up stage, Qin Miao also went up to have a bullfight with Butler, the star of the Heat.

But it's just a show.

Butler's height of more than two meters is like a little giant in front of Qin Miao, and with a lift of both hands, Qin Miao can't even see where the rebound is.

However, it is obvious that Butler basically didn't guard against Qin Miao much in the state of the exhibition game, and he didn't raise his hand much.

And although Qin Miao doesn't play basketball much on weekdays, her physical fitness is here, although her shooting is not accurate, but Qin Miao jumps high.

Under the watchful eyes of the fans at the scene, Qin Miao easily bypassed Butler's eye defense.

Rushing underneath the basket is a tomahawk slam.

It's hard to imagine that after Qin Miao, who was only 175 tall, jumped up, his head was as tall as the basket.

This buckle immediately made many fans who were just watching the performance of the F1 world champion excited.

Whistles and cheers rang out.

Many old fans even saw Iverson's shadow from Qin Miao's body in a trance.

Because Qin Miao's jump was a little too fast, it was still high, and the time in the air was also very long, and the movements were also neat.

After seeing Qin Miao's slash, the audience and many players were dazzled.

But a few families were happy and a few were sad, and the fans were immediately happy when they saw Qin Miao's button.

But a few people came down in a cold sweat on the spot.

One was the staff sent by the organizers of the Miami Grand Prix to coordinate the event.

The other is Bobble.
