And Qin Miao went back to Monaco directly after the game was over.

After all, Monaco is on the edge of France, and after the French Grand Prix, Qin Miao took a plane home for less than an hour.

And there is not much work to be done by Qin Miao on the team factory side, and Hamilton will definitely stay in the team this week, so if there is anything that the team can completely let Hamilton help deal with.

Qin Miao took out her mobile phone on the way home and chatted with Zhou Guanyu and them in the group, and she also knew the specific reason for Leclerc's car to retire.

After all, there were only four people in the group, so Leclerc did not hide it, and directly said that Ferrari's car had another problem with throttle control failure, but in the post-race interview stage, the heads of some departments of the team asked Leclerc to say that he had made a mistake during the interview.

After all, Leclerc's position in Ferrari is now solid enough, and Leclerc is still a Ferrari academy driver with strong roots in the Ferrari Academy.

So he has a very high position in the hearts of Ferrari fans, and if he admits his mistake, there may be fans who complain, but there will never be anyone to spray Leclerc, and no one will ask Ferrari to replace the driver.

They'll just scold a word like hi, woft ethane or something.

Naturally, there is no guessing who is the initiator of this incident.

The most important thing is that Leclerc owes the other party a favor, which can be regarded as a return of favors.

But seriously, if Qin Miao's position is swapped with Leclerc, Qin Miao really can't bear the situation that it is obviously not his own problem, and he has to go up to the pot.

may explode directly with the other party, and everyone will die together!

Of course, Qin Miao is not Leclerc after all.

However, Qin Miao really feels that it is really a bit difficult for Binotto to be the team leader of Ferrari.

He didn't spend some time in various departments of an F1 team, like most other team principals, thoroughly understanding the workflow and logic of these departments, and then understanding the operation process of the entire team before taking over the position of team leader.

Mr. Bi has been working as an engine design engineer for more than 20 years, and then directly became the team leader.

Although more than 20 years of experience in the industry has given him an understanding of the operation process of other departments of a fleet, as the saying goes, don't do this porcelain work without diamonds, Binotto has only seen it, and he has never worked in these departments.

So now Ferrari is a visible mess.

Whether it is the security of the racing car or the tactical formulation of the strategy group, as well as logistics, tire changes, and personnel management, all of them have a kind of savage beauty.

This season's Ferrari, apart from the feeling that the engine will give people a dazzling feeling, can only be said to make people in this department feel that they are all eating dry food.

And often make the outrageous operation that makes the eyes of the Iron Buddha Temple dark.

In short, Ferrari has suppressed the outside influence after Leclerc's retirement.

When chatting in the group, Qin Miao also found that Leclerc's positioning had arrived in Monaco, Qin Miao originally wanted to ask Leclerc to go fishing on Monday afternoon, which could be regarded as relaxing the other party's mood.

However, Leclerc refused.

Qin Miao didn't think much about it, and simply thought that Leclerc might just have other things to deal with.

But there was no one to accompany him, and it was too troublesome to go to sea alone, so Qin Miao didn't go out by himself, but stayed at home to recharge his energy and prepare for the last Grand Prix before the summer break.

In the past, Qin Miao only thought that it would be awesome to become an F1 driver, not only to make money, but also to gain fame.

Qin Miao in the first season still hasn't changed much about this feeling.

At that time, Qin Miao's main attention was focused on getting familiar with the car, being familiar with the track, and getting good results on the track.

At that time, Qin Miao really didn't feel anything else, but now Qin Miao only felt that it was really tiring to run down so many games.

This can also be a downside to winning a World Championship in the first year of your career, because in the first year of your career, you're at the top of other professional players that you might never be able to reach for the rest of your life.

After seeing the scenery from the top and tasting the most delicious fruit, there is nothing to look forward to in the whole paddock.

Therefore, Qin Miao's enthusiasm for the game inevitably declined.

However, it was just a decline in enthusiasm, Qin Miao himself was still very passionate about racing, and he had no idea of changing his job in a short period of time.

In addition, what made Qin Miao, who was recuperating, feel a lot of pressure was that Qiu Meng came back on Tuesday.

Then from Tuesday until Qin Miao went to Hungary, Qin Miao had to pay the public grain at least once a day.

Once born and twice cooked, now Qin Miao basically has no resistance to this matter, tired, destroy, hurry up.

And this frequency is also acceptable for Qin Miao, basically there is no big burden on his body.

On Thursday, Qin Miao's plane in the morning flew to Hungary.

After all, he was already familiar with the Hengluo Ring Track, and Qin Miao didn't arrive at the track in advance this week.

The track of the Hungarian Grand Prix is also Qin Miao's old friend, and countless famous scenes have been born on this track.

On top of that, the Hungaroring circuit is the most difficult track to overtake this season outside of Monaco.

So in this race, with Qin Miao's defensive ability, he has every chance to get a good position, and the only thing worth worrying about now is that this race did not bring any upgrades to the two drivers of his team.

Qin Miao's familiarity with this track actually started in F1, and last year's Hungarian Grand Prix was the first time Qin Miao really raced on this track.

In fact, according to the normal calendar, there are also F2 and F3 races at the Hungeloring circuit.

But helplessly, Qin Miao entered F2 during the epidemic period, and many tracks were closed at that time, so many tracks were only contacted after Qin Miao entered F1.

Unlike Qin Miao, Zhou Guanyu, who entered F2 in 2019, ran this track in 19 years, but Zhou Guanyu, who entered F2 in the first year, is obviously not as demonic as Qin Miao, so the results can only be regarded as excellent for newcomers.

After the plane landed, Qin Miao first went to the hotel arranged by the team, and only went to the paddock after putting away his things.

The following Thursday and Friday, Qin Miao focused her main attention on work.

The clock was fast approaching Saturday afternoon, when qualifying was about to begin.

And Qin Miao's unlucky luck seems to have been inherited from the last race, this week's Hungarian Grand Prix, in addition to the weather on the track throughout Friday, it began to rain on the track on Saturday, although the rain was not heavy, and it stopped after a while, but there was always intermittent rain falling from the sky.

The temperature of the track also cools down particularly quickly.

Even when the qualifying session began, you could see very obvious water stains on the track.

However, at the beginning of qualifying, there was no rain on the track, except for the temperature being a little low, so the drivers still used soft tyres to do laps on the track during this time.

Qin Miao and Hamilton in the qualifying stage were both very stable, and the results of the first flight lap were enough for them to enter Q2, and even Qin Miao still had free time to get off the car and go to the toilet after returning to the team's P room.

In the end, the drivers eliminated in Q1 were: Stroll, Tsunoda, Albon, Vettel, Gasly.

Both Zhou Guanyu and Bottas easily qualified for Q2.

In Q2, the biggest feature of Qin Miao and Hamilton this season is stability, so the two also easily entered Q3.

At the same time, Pérez's fastest lap was cancelled because he exceeded the track limit, and his first lap was blocked by a slow car on the track, which was not very good, so Pérez was eliminated in 12th position.

In the end, the drivers eliminated in Q2 were: Bottas, Pérez, Russell, Magnussen, Mick.

That's right, in today's game, Zhou Guanyu advanced to Q3.

But strictly speaking, it was Pérez who gave the opportunity in this match, allowing Zhou Guanyu to enter Q3.

Without Pérez, Zhou Guanyu will become the familiar Q3 goalkeeper again.

Just when everyone thought that Q3 of today's qualifying match would be a Red Bull going head-to-head Ferrari and a big game against Mercedes.

At the beginning of Q3, Verstappen's car came out and didn't reach for a lap before the team's telemetry department noticed that the engine temperature was abnormal and called back to the pits.

After checking that there was no problem, Red Bull released Verstappen again, but Verstappen's pace began to plummet from then on, and there was no way to run a competitive lap.

As a result, Verstappen finished last at the end of Q3.

Therefore, the whole Q3 is the stage for Mercedes and Ferrari.

In the last flight lap of Q3, when Qin Miao was still doing a warm-up lap, Frankie told Qin Miao a message: "When Hamilton ran the last flight lap, the DRS system of the car failed and could not be opened......"

Qin Miao: ......

"And my car?"

"We've just checked it, there's nothing wrong with your car, and you can finish your last flight lap with peace of mind."

……

The failure of Hamilton's car did not affect Qin Miao's performance.

On the last flight lap on the track, even without the help of Hamilton's wake, Qin Miao's three flight laps all brushed his fastest lap, and even brushed purple in the third time session, and the final result came to 1:17.287.

Qin Miao's result was 0.2 seconds faster than Sainz, who was in second place.

The final qualifying results for the Hungarian Grand Prix are as follows:

1: Qin Miao

2: Sainz

3: Leclerc

4: Norris

5: Ocon

6: Alonso

7: Hamilton

8: Zhou Guanyu

9: Ricardo

10: Verstappen

After getting this result, Qin Miao was also happy for a while, but seriously, this result is not something to celebrate for Qin Miao, after all, it is not the first time he has won such a result, and he is used to this glory.

After thanking the team staff in the team TR, Qin Miao's main work today was almost completed.

After that, it's time to do post-game interviews, receive awards, and attend post-game press conferences.

Qin Miao handled these tasks with the same ease.

Sunday, the day the race begins.

The weather on Sunday is similar to Saturday, and it feels hot on Friday when you wear trousers on the track, but today you have to wear a jacket.

Although today's weather conditions were not good news for the tyres, the drivers were happy.

Because the cool weather means that the temperature inside the monocoque of the car will definitely be more comfortable.

Today's pre-race Driver Parade is a bit less boundary, with two drivers from the same team riding in the same car for the post-race Driver Parade.

Qin Miao and Hamilton didn't greet the audience much when they were in the car, and the two chatted all the way about whether there would be any difficulties in choosing today's tires in this weather.

Hamilton was ready to start the race with a stop-and-go and if today's weather had an impact on tyre durability and lap times, Hamilton would have to make a different plan.

So while Hamilton had a smile on his face throughout the Drivers' Parade, he was a bit absent-minded all the time.

On the contrary, Qin Miao has been interacting enthusiastically with the audience at the scene.

After the Drivers' Parade was over, it was time for the race to begin.

In today's game, Qin Miao didn't use neutral tires to start.

After all, Qin Miao won pole position in qualifying yesterday, and the two drivers who started behind Qin Miao were Ferrari drivers, and the main strength of Ferrari's car lies in its terrifying engine performance.

So at the start of today's main race stage, Qin Miao must be focused on keeping his pole position.

After all, the Hungaroring circuit is known to be an easy track to defend, and it is said that this track has two DRS zones, but in reality these two DRS have little effect.

Therefore, in terms of Qin Miao's speed and defensive ability this season, as long as he keeps his pole position at the starting stage, then if there is no accident in today's game, Qin Miao can use his differentiated running style of tires and anti-sky defensive ability to hold a championship.

Soon, the camera came to the track, and Qin Miao was sitting in the monocoque of his racing car at this time.

At this time, the environment on the track is not very quiet, the noise of the racing engine idling, the sound of the staff talking loudly, the noise of the live audience, and the sound of the host through the live horn are all entangled, making the whole paddock look chaotic.

But in such a chaotic environment, Qin Miao, who was sitting in a single shell, took off the gloves on his hand, and spread his palm to the sky as if no one was around, as if he wanted to see if there would be raindrops in the sky falling into his palm.

And coincidentally, not long after Qin Miao opened his hand, raindrops began to fall down in the sky.

Although the rain quickly went away, Qin Miao still accumulated a lot of rain in his hands.

Qin Miao looked at the raindrops in his hand and sighed helplessly, all he could do now was pray silently in his heart.

God, if it's going to rain, hurry up and get more rain now, and don't let it rain when the race starts.

Soon, all the crews on the track withdrew and the warm-up lap began.

When Qin Miao was warming up the tires, he clearly felt that it was difficult for his set of soft tires to heat up, and Qin Miao knew that before his speed was raised, the temperature of his set of soft tires might only be kept at the temperature that had just been taken out of the warm-up blanket.

However, as long as there is temperature, it will not affect Qin Miao's starting rhythm too much.

With the medical cart at the rear in place and the green flag waving, the race is about to begin.

In the initial stage, Qin Miao has not dropped the chain this season, not to mention that Qin Miao is still using a new set of soft tires.

Although it took a short time for Qin Miao's tire temperature to decrease because he had to wait for the riders behind him to stop where they should have stopped, this did not affect Qin Miao's reaction speed.

Soon, five red lights went out and the game began.

After starting, Qin Miao basically didn't change his starting line, after all, if his starting line changed, the car would definitely not be able to use all the traction of the engine for the acceleration of the car.

This would put the Mercedes-Benz car, which was already not as fast as the two Ferraris behind it, into a deeper predicament.

However, Ferrari is Ferrari after all, although Qin Miao has used the grip of the engine and tires of this car to the limit, Sainz still sucked Qin Miao's wake behind Qin Miao, and was ready to tap the inside line before T1.

Qin Miao naturally couldn't give the other party such an opportunity, Qin Miao directly changed to the inside line when Sainz wanted to draw his own inside line, and closed Sainz's door.

Sainz naturally had no choice but to go back to the perimeter.

But the time when he went outside was doomed to the failure of Sainz's attack.

Now that DRS isn't turned on, even if you want to cross the line, the remaining distance won't be enough for Sainz to accelerate.

So Qin Miao held his position in T1, and squeezed Sainz out of the track when T1 came out of the corner, destroying Sainz's rhythm of cornering.

In this way, Qin Miao kept his position.

And out of thin air, he gained a time advantage of 0.7 seconds, and now the time gap between Sainz and Qin Miao has reached 0.9 seconds.

From the perspective of aerial photography, in fact, Qin Miao's defensive operation is quite amazing, every operation is just right, so that the most uncomfortable point of Sainz in the back is stuck in the opponent's position, but he will not violate any rules prohibited by the FIA.

It is difficult to describe the current state of Qin Miao's performance in a word of elegance.

But for Qin Miao, this is just a very normal defensive line.

At the start, Ocon made a self-defeating attempt to defend Alonso, who was faster than him in terms of starting speed and lap speed on the track, and let Hamilton behind Alonso go.

While he did keep Alonso at bay, he and Alonso both dropped one place, with Hamilton moving up to fifth, and he and Alonso falling to sixth and seventh.

The few French fans also had mixed feelings after seeing this scene.

Because Alonso's contract with Alpine will expire at the end of this season, and so will Ocon.

So at this time, the interests of the team can be put out of the way.

As long as he wins over his teammates on the field, when Ocon negotiates a contract with the team and a salary, he will have more confidence to demand a higher salary from the team.

That's why Ocon clung to Alonso behind him on the track today.

Even if he didn't hesitate to let Hamilton go directly, he also wanted to make sure that his teammates would not overtake him.

Everyone is driving, full attention while driving, and the adrenaline rush is the basic operation.

So Alonso couldn't help but complain in the team TR after seeing Ocon's defensive moves: "I've never seen Ocon defend so seriously, never!" ”

However, the veteran comrades have come through so many ups and downs, and many things have been seen very openly and thoroughly.

Despite no prior preparation, Alonso could easily guess why Ocon did this.

But at this time, Alonso could not do anything, and could only continue to look for opportunities behind Ocon.

On lap 2, a virtual safety car appeared on the track.

The main reason for the use of the virtual safety car was that Albon and Vettel in the rear had a collision, leaving some debris on the track.

On lap 3, the race restarted, and Qin Miao began to use the advantage of his soft tires to gradually widen the time gap between him and Sainz behind him.

And during the virtual safety car, Sainz mistook the time gap between himself and Qin Miao, so after the game restarted, the time gap between Sainz and Qin Miao was expanded to 2.3 seconds.

Next, Qin Miao gradually widened the time gap between him and Sainz behind him at a speed of 0.2 seconds per lap.

By the time the race came to lap 10, the time gap between Qin Miao and Sainz behind him had reached 4 seconds.

Sainz was a little helpless to find that the lap speed between himself and Qin Miao was not only shortened due to the gradual progress of the race, but was getting bigger and bigger.

On lap 14, when all the drivers in the rear who were using C4 formula soft tires began to experience varying degrees of exhaustion, Qin Miao directly brushed purple in a single lap and brushed away the fastest lap of the whole race from Sainz behind him.

Qin Miao's fastest lap saw the eyelids of the two Ferraris behind him and everyone in the Ferrari P room jump.

On lap 16, Leclerc, who had been recuperating behind Sainz, had already caught up in the DRS zone behind Sainz.

In order not to stop the faster Leclerc and to avoid a repeat of the tragedy of the British Grand Prix, Ferrari called Sainz to the pit stop for medium tyres.

Looking at the choice of tyre change for this pit stop, Ferrari is obviously preparing for two stops.

After all, Sainz started with medium tyres. (End of chapter)
