Qin Miao also looked at his computer, and then shrugged his shoulders at Hamilton: "Lewis, thank you for your concern, but I'm fine now, my condition won't be affected, and I can't wait to go to the track now to let Verstappen feel my defensive ability." ”

Hamilton raised his forehead, and when he said this, the way you gritted your teeth and bruised already revealed your true thoughts in your heart!

"Listen to Qin Miao, I know that you feel very uncomfortable now, and I also know that you have the strength to prove yourself on the field, but believe me, what you should really do at this time is not to plan how you should be on the field, but to calm down first and calm your mentality."

Speaking of this, Hamilton looked at Qin Miao's face and changed his words: "At least think about it a little, if you continue in this state, what consequences will you encounter."

After all, you and I both know that racing is a sport that requires mental involvement, and on the field, if you have the urge right now, there is a good chance that some unforced mistakes will occur. ”

Hamilton's words were naturally unable to get any effect from Qin Miao.

However, Hamilton's last words made Qin Miao a little concerned.

"The belittlement and insults that the Dutch fans have given you are just a means, and you have to see clearly the purpose behind this series of means, which is the so-called essence." Speaking of which, Hamilton felt a little uncomfortable.

Although it is a good thing that he does not have to feel the "enthusiasm" of the local Dutch fans at Verstappen's home stadium, it also shows that in the eyes of the Dutch fans, his strength is no longer as good as his teammate Qin Miao.

However, Hamilton still suppressed the strange emotions in his heart and continued: "The reason why they will do this to you is because they are afraid of your ability, and what they really want is your current state, eager to prove yourself and slap them in the face.

I believe you should know that with such a mentality, it is easy to make some unforced mistakes on the field, such as Leclerc. ”

Next door to the Mercedes team lounge, in the Ferrari lounge, Leclerc was lying on the sofa chatting with his girlfriend on the phone, when suddenly he sneezed inexplicably.

Rubbing his nose, Leclerc was a little puzzled, he hadn't caught a cold recently......

"And in addition to being forced to make mistakes, your choices can be more radical and dangerous than those you would normally have in your state of mind, which undoubtedly increases the risk of you withdrawing from the game in the middle of the race.

And that's what they want to see. ”

Speaking of this, in order to strengthen the persuasiveness of his words, Hamilton walked in front of Qin Miao and reached out and patted Qin Miao on the shoulder: "Although you may still not care too much after listening to my words, but this is the experience that your teammates have summed up in the arena for so many years, and most people want to know if I don't tell it." ”

Qin Miao sighed and savored Hamilton's words.

Don't say it, don't say it!

The old man has a point!

"I'm all right." After tasting it, Qin Miao suddenly said.

After Qin Miao's words came out, Hamilton was stunned for a moment.

"Okay? What's good? Hamilton's mind was clearly spinning.

It stands to reason that after his touching and thought-provoking experience is finished, what Qin Miao should do is to think carefully, analyze it in simple terms, and then ask himself about some points that Qin Miao does not understand in these words, and finally after his own explanation, Qin Miao thoroughly comprehended, enlightened and assured himself that he would definitely deal with this Dutch Grand Prix with a calm mind on the field.

How did you get to Qin Miao, just a calm sentence here: "I'm okay?" ”

In fact, this is Hamilton underestimating Qin Miao.

The current Qin Miao is indeed too young.

But with the blessing of the system, Qin Miao's spiritual strength is historic.

Qin Miao didn't adapt to this week's Grand Prix, purely because this was the first time he came to the real away game.

After all, since entering F1, Qin Miao's journey can be said to be full of flowers.

Even if he was isolated by other drivers during F2, all the spectators inside and outside the paddock had great tolerance and expectations for Qin Miao, the true pride of the sky.

They all want to see how the young driver who has been calling for Formula 2 will perform when he enters F1.

And the truth is that Qin Miao did not disappoint these people.

So in the first season, although everyone was a little surprised by Qin Miao's achievements on the field, everyone was quite tolerant of Qin Miao.

However, after the first year of novice protection has passed, in the eyes of some fans, Qin Miao has degenerated from the pride of the sky to a thorn in the flesh.

Therefore, this is the first time that Qin Miao has been maliciously targeted by all the audience in the paddock.

This kind of suddenness, and the pressure that Qin Miao had never felt before, made Qin Miao a little bit at the tip of the horns for a while, and he couldn't get out.

However, after Hamilton's reminder, Qin Miao literally regained her senses.

After realizing this, Qin Miao naturally knew that he was a little uncalm.

However, although the current Qin Miao no longer puts Verstappen in the first place.

But if there is a chance, Qin Miao will definitely give Verstappen a little strength.

If he could, Qin Miao wouldn't mind sending the film of his helmet goggles to Verstappen's brake ventilation duct.

It's a pity that Qin Miao's system didn't give Qin Miao the skills in this regard.

Qin Miao actually wants to experience what it's like to play prop races in F1.

As long as I have enough helmet goggles, I don't want to overtake myself in the rear car, and even if I exceed myself, it won't take long, and I have to go into the pit area to clean up.

Of course, these are all jokes.

Looking at Hamilton with a bewildered face, Qin Miao said: "Thank you, Lewis, I have indeed been a little bit of a bull in the past two days, thanks to your reminder, I have thought it through now." ”

Hamilton:......

Okay, you young people are awesome, not to mention that you drive well one by one, and your mentality is confident and stable, and you don't look like a young person.

But Hamilton had to admit that judging from Qin Miao's expression and demeanor at this time, it was indeed very different from the gloomy and gloomy just now.

This guy may have really recovered as he said.

Despite some disbelief, Hamilton nodded and said: "That's fine, but there's still some time before the race and you need to be careful that the fans at the pre-race parade won't be polite to you."

They may be happier when they meet Verstappen than they are when they meet the boss who pays them, but when they meet you, they may compare you with a bit of uniformity...... You know insulting gestures.

I hope you can have a mental preparation in advance. ”

Qin Miao nodded: "Now I am mentally prepared, I believe that these off-court factors will not affect my competitive state." ”

chatted with Qin Miao for a while, but Hamilton himself left Qin Miao's lounge in a somewhat depressed mood.

What's more, I'm also idle, obviously Qin Miao has the ability to adjust his mentality, why don't you remind him if you have nothing to do?

He didn't run well in this race, shouldn't that be good news for me?

And if he takes 10,000 steps back, with Qin Miao's ability and big heart, he may really be able to win the Dutch Grand Prix with the mentality he had at that time.

Shaking his head to shake the mixed thoughts out of his head, Hamilton returned to his lounge and turned on the stereo.

At the same time, the sound of the game starting in Qin Miao's laptop also came from next door.

……

Pre-race rider parade.

The situation is really like what Hamilton said, as long as the scene is a grandstand area with more Dutch fans, when Qin Miao comes over in a car, there will always be a huge boo.

Of course, there are a total of 300,000 people who came to the track this week (three days), and it is impossible that these 300,000 people are all Red Bull fans, and naturally there are also neutral fans and Qin Miao's fanatical fans, and every Qin Miao race will come to the scene to watch.

Even when Qin Miao just came out of the P room of the team, the top of the Meiben team were all Qin Miao's fans, and when Qin Miao came out, they were cheering Qin Miao up.

With the support of fans and Hamilton's enlightenment, Qin Miao did not continue to drill the horns.

So at this time, when Qin Miao faced the ridicule and boos of the Dutch fans again, he could squeeze out a smile full of affinity on his face and wave to the Dutch fans at the scene.

Of course, Qin Miao is not the type who can't scold back, so Qin Miao's mouth has been muttering in Chinese: "wcnmdm." ”

After the pre-race driver parade was over, Qin Miao returned to the team's P room for the final pre-race preparations before the start of the race.

At this time, Qin Miao's tire reserve is two sets of neutral tires and two sets of soft tires.

Qin Miao actually felt that she might use one more set of soft tires in the qualifying stage yesterday, but in the end, she only used two sets, so she left an extra set of soft tires and neutral tires in the main race stage.

In the main race stage, the team's pit stop strategy for Qin Miao was to stop in red and yellow.

With Qin Miao's tire protection ability, such a pit stop strategy is almost perfect, coupled with an extra set of soft tires and a set of neutral tires in Qin Miao's tire inventory, even if there is an accident on the track during the race, Qin Miao has enough reserves to react to it.

Qin Miao originally wanted to use the pit stop strategy of yellow and red, but after not drilling the horns, Qin Miao still chose the pit stop strategy with the shortest time calculated by the team strategy group.

There's no need to lose your results just to disgust Verstappen.

After resting in the team lounge for a while, Qin Miao was also notified and went to the track.

What makes Qin Miao a little uncomfortable is that before the start of each Grand Prix, all the drivers who come to the track to race need to hold the national anthem ceremony of the local country where the Grand Prix is held at the starting position of the track.

So before the race started, Qin Miao listened to the Dutch national anthem again on the track that he didn't like to listen to.

After the national anthem ceremony was over, Qin Miao returned to his car and waited for the start of the race.

But he didn't wait long, Qin Miao was a little helpless.

Because of today's race, Qin Miao started in the fifth position.

Qin Miao's starting position was just on the right side of the track, near the area of the spectator stands.

Although there was still a lawn between the track and the spectator stands, when Qin Miao passed, he still heard a lot of strange jokes about himself.

Qin Miao is a little helpless, are you idle?

The game is about to start, and you still have my mentality?

However, Qin Miao didn't pay attention to them, just sat on the tool cart pushed by Reyes, holding a bottle of functional drink provided by the team to himself, but Qin Miao only took two sips from time to time to ensure that his mouth and throat were moist.

When I got tired of sitting down, I got out of the car and chatted with Hamilton, which was not too boring in the process.

Soon, after the pre-race preparations were completed, Qin Miao also put on all the equipment and climbed into his own racing car.

Race car self-test, start engine, test radio, drinking system, DRS function.

After a series of tests, Qin Miao gave a thumbs up to Reyes next to him, and then shook hands with the team technicians who came to the track to do maintenance for his car, and all the preparations before the start of the race were completed.

Soon, the warm-up lap begins.

After the warm-up circle was over, Qin Miao parked the car in his place.

The drivers at the rear are also in position, and the race of the Dutch Grand Prix is about to begin.

In the time before today's start, Qin Miao actually chatted with Hamilton.

Because in this game, Hamilton started on neutral tires, while Qin Miao used soft tires, if Qin Miao's starting rhythm was better, Hamilton promised Qin Miao that he would not defend Qin Miao before the braking point of T1.

But if Qin Miao's start was not particularly fast, Hamilton would not let Qin Miao go.

It was a compromise between the two men to avoid a detrimental fight between their teammates in the early stages.

Unbeknownst to the team, the two had come together on the side of the track after the national anthem session.

Soon, as the last driver pulled over into the starting position, five red lights lit up one by one.

Five red lights go out, and the game begins!

Qin Miao's starting speed was as good as ever.

Okay, even many people in the initial stage, whether they are fans of Qin Miao or not, will stare at Qin Miao's No. 66 car to see how many people he can surpass in the initial stage.

Because in the starting stage, all the other drivers may make mistakes, and it may be mediocre, but as long as you keep an eye on Qin Miao's start, then Qin Miao will definitely not let you down, his starting speed has always been the best in the paddock, and it is also the most stable.

There are times when he doesn't always overtake the riders in front of him, but he always performs well.

Even because Qin Miao's start is very good, many neutral fans are fans of Qin Miao, after all, as long as you stare at Qin Miao at the initial stage, then he will always give you a feeling of brightness.

If you watch it too much, you will naturally like it.

What stands out is a long-lasting relationship.

And Qin Miao's start this time was obviously faster than Hamilton in front of him, and even according to post-game statistics, Qin Miao's starting reaction speed this time was 0.1 seconds.

Qin Miao's starting speed this time can be said to be the fastest among the 20 riders in the paddock.

After the game, some people even discussed whether Qin Miao's starting speed was too fast, which constituted a pre-judgment rush.

But the discussion was eventually washed away by fans inside and outside the paddock.

Qin Miao's starting speed is so fast, on the one hand, Qin Miao's state in this game is really good, and on the other hand, Qin Miao showed off the medicine given by the system before the game, and the reaction speed has improved, plus Qin Miao's reaction speed is fast, plus this improvement is faster.

Hamilton and Qin Miao at the starting stage did not compete for position, and even Hamilton found that Qin Miao's starting speed was faster than his own, and after being much faster, he took the initiative to open the gap between him and Qin Miao's car, and gave Qin Miao the inside line of T1.

Qin Miao naturally did not miss Hamilton's kindness, and after overtaking Hamilton, he inserted the inside line of the track.

At this time, Leclerc and Sainz are preparing to enter T1 one after the other.

Then Qin Miao braked late and inserted the inside line of T1 before Leclerc closed the door.

Leclerc also kept an eye on his rearview mirror, keeping an eye out for oncoming cars behind him.

He actually wanted to keep an eye on Verstappen, but as a good friend, Leclerc knew how fast Qin Miao was starting.

But Qin Miao's speed was so fast that Leclerc couldn't react at all, so Qin Miao inserted the inside line.

However, at this time, Leclerc was in front of Qin Miao, had the right to the line of the track, and the relationship was good, but this was a race, and Leclerc could not let Qin Miao threaten his lead so easily.

So Leclerc squeezed directly towards the inside line, sealing all of Qin Miao's next bend lines.

Seeing this, Qin Miao angrily scolded Leclerc in her heart for not being a brother enough, and she was even unwilling to let her brother intervene.

But he honestly loosened the throttle a little bit and returned the track to Leclerc before he finished closing.

Then because of Qin Miaosong's foot on the accelerator, there was a chain reaction on the track.

Qin Miao's speed out of the corner was obviously not as fast as Sainz, so that after the corner, Sainz overtook on the outside.

In addition, the next T2 is a left bend, and Qin Miao, who is on the outside, naturally did not hold his position.

After the final game began, Qin Miao only rose one place to fourth.

Although Qin Miao's teammate Hamilton did not start as fast as Qin Miao, the starting speed of the seven-crown champion was still considerable, at least he did not slip more positions.

In fact, Zandvoort is not a very good track for overtaking, and the track has frequent ups and downs and mid-to-high turns.

So soon, everyone was pulled into a long straight.

In fact, at this time, whether it was Qin Miao or Hamilton, both of them subconsciously felt that the sidebox upgrade brought by the Mercedes team in today's race could not shorten the gap between themselves and the car in front of them.

Although Qin Miao knew that he had a skill that would make the team's R&D capabilities improve by leaps and bounds, so did so.

But in fact, after the race started, Qin Miao and Hamilton were pleasantly surprised to find that the upgrade effect of the car was outstanding!

I was able to keep up with the riders in front of me.

And Qin Miao can stay in the DRS zone behind Sainz for a long time for 0.7 seconds.

Hamilton can also follow Qin Miao's wake area without being thrown off.

The car upgrade was very successful, Qin Miao was naturally in a good mood, and Sainz and Ferrari on the other side had a completely different feeling.

What the heck? It's only been a week, and Meiben has only brought a sidebox upgrade, why is Meiben's racing speed so much faster?

In fact, the reason why Qin Miao is so fast is because this week's upgrade is mainly used to increase the overall downforce of the car, in fact, strictly calculated, the top speed and acceleration of this week's Mercedes car is slower than the W13 when Spa did not upgrade last week.

On the one hand, the new sideboxes strengthen the sealing effect of the car floor, so that the team can reduce the suspension rigidity of the car and do not have to worry about the phenomenon of dolphin jumping on the track.

On the other hand, the increased downforce and the sealing of the floor naturally optimise the car's ability to corner.

And Zandvoort is a track with a lot of corners, so this week's upgrade just makes Mercedes' W13 a perfect fit for this track.

But Ferrari's cars are also notoriously good engines, so Ferrari cars are more suitable for high-speed circuits with fewer corners.

In Zandvoort, the Red Prancing Horse is clearly a little unsuitable.

In fact, strictly speaking, there is still a big performance gap between Mercedes and Ferrari cars, but under the trade-off of geographical advantages, it seems that Mercedes cars are faster than Ferrari cars.

followed Sainz for a lap, and after the T13 in the second lap came out of the corner, Qin Miao followed Sainz for 0.4 seconds.

After that, he came to T14 all the way to T14, and after getting out of T14, he came to the big straight of the third lap, Qin Miao was always behind Sainz, sucking Sainz's wake.

Although Sainz saw that the situation was not good, he stuck the inner line for the first time to prevent Qin Miao from braking late on the inner line.

But this is only the third lap of the race, and Sainz's ERS battery has already been used up at the start, so the engine is powerful enough, but the engine of the Mercedes car is not not powerful?

Originally, Mercedes won so many honors in the hybrid era by relying on the engines of other teams in the paddock for two seasons, and the reason why the team looks bad after the 2022 season is mainly because the team's aerodynamics department is indeed a little stretched, and the design of the car is too resistant, and there is no way to let the engine play its full strength.

Now that Qin Miao has absorbed Sainz's wake, the natural drag is gone, and the acceleration ability and speed of the car are all liberated.

So when Sainz was defending inside, Qin Miao relied on his speed to eat Sainz raw on the outside before the braking point.

Although Sainz still wanted to regain his position after braking late on the inside.

But Qin Miao didn't just attack.

Late braking? Qin Miao squeezed directly towards the inside line before the braking point.

Sainz looked at Qin Miao who was squeezing over, and he could only brake in advance, otherwise he would torpedo Qin Miao. (End of chapter)
