Although Geely said that it was going to buy a team, for Geely itself, everything in F1 was actually unfamiliar.

It is impossible to say that Geely bought a team, and then all the processes in F1 and the twists and turns in the paddock, the relationship between Geely and Geely is clear.

It is also impossible to listen to the reports of the team leaders below.

After all, if it is really like the above, then does Geely have a new team, or does the person in charge of this team have a new team?

After all, greed is human nature, and listening to what others convey will always be a little distorted from the facts.

So Geely itself had to send someone into the paddock to get a deep understanding of how the F1 teams and a Grand Prix weekend work.

It's just that Qin Miao is a little puzzled, why did Geely's people chat with the Little Red Bull team leader and Red Bull's Marco for so long?

When Qin Miao went to the paddock on Thursday morning, he saw a Geely vice president in charge of F1 from Geely, whom he knew, enter the lounge of Red Bull Racing.

After all, Qin Miao is the most accomplished F1 driver in China, and even in the whole of Asia.

There is a natural opportunity to get to know them.

It's just that when Qin Miao finished all his work and left the paddock in the afternoon, he saw that he had just walked out of the lounge of the Red Bull Racing Team.

When he came out, he was accompanied by Marco and Horner.

The conversation lasted almost a day.

However, Qin Miao was just a little confused, and in the afternoon, Qin Miao also saw that Geely's people were chatting with Elliott and them enthusiastically, maybe it was just to say hello to the leaders of these teams in advance and enhance the relationship between the two parties in advance.

Provide more chips and contacts for Geely's entry in the future.

Friday, the time for one or two practice.

Qin Miao came to the paddock early as usual, and today's Italian station gave Qin Miao a very refreshing feeling.

Whether it was the whole process of entering the paddock, or the fans and staff on the scene encountered in the paddock, although everyone did not say that they greeted Qin Miao with a smile like this was Qin Miao's home field, and the cheers continued, they were very excited to see Qin Miao.

But at least there are no bad words, and many fans will wave to Qin Miao enthusiastically after seeing Qin Miao.

Some of the more courageous ones even asked Qin Miao directly in front of the staff of the Meiben team next to Qin Miao: "Qin Miao, when are you going back to Ferrari?" ”

Qin Miao couldn't cry or laugh for a while.

The staff of the Meiben team on the side were also full of embarrassment.

Although there will be a little unpleasantness, at least compared to last week's Dutch Grand Prix, this time in the Italian Grand Prix made Qin Miao feel much more comfortable.

This week, Qin Miao changed to a new set of engines and gearboxes.

This is because Monza is one of the easiest circuits in the entire calendar to overtake, and it is also the most DRS efficient race of the remaining seven races of the season.

As a result, the overall loss of the gearbox and engine is minimal, and it will be easier to chase down a car that is slower than you.

Therefore, the team gave Qin Miao a proposal to directly change a complete set of engines and gearboxes in this race.

Taking into account the characteristics of Mercedes Racing this season, as well as the low-resistance and high speed shown by Red Bull Racing this season, Qin Miao predicted that Red Bull would most likely bring back one or two at Ferrari's home stadium in today's race, and even if he didn't bring one or two back, he would at least be able to win a sub-race championship here.

So Qin Miao also agreed to the team's proposal.

So far, the Italian Grand Prix is the first time that Qin Miao has carried out an overall replacement of the engine this season, and it is also the first time that the engine and gearbox have been replaced.

Of course, although the engine of the car has been planned to be replaced, Qin Miao will still use the old engine in the first and second practices on Friday and the third practice on Saturday.

After the three training sessions on Saturday, the team will replace Qin Miao's car with a new engine during the break in between.

Of course, because Qin Miao wanted to replace the engine with a new one, Qin Miao triggered the FIA's penalty rules.

After all, some of the parts that Qin Miao wanted to replace had already exceeded the FIA's use limit.

Lin Lin finally calculated that Qin Miao received a total of 15 penalties for starting from 15 positions.

At the same time, Qin Miao's teammate Hamilton also changed his racing engine.

In addition to the two of them, drivers such as Sainz, Bottas, and Verstappen also received varying degrees of penalties for the replacement of engine parts.

But in any case, no matter how good Qin Miao and Hamilton qualifying results were, both of them probably started at the end of the track in the main race stage.

The difference is to see if Tsunoda performs well in the qualifying stage, if Tsunoda doesn't even make it to Q2 in the qualifying stage, then the Japanese will start behind Qin Miao and Hamilton.

At the same time, the engineers of the Mercedes team did not bring new upgrades to the two drivers this week.

Mainly because the mid-term development thinking of the Mercedes team has flashed to the waist of many people, many plans and upgrades have to be reformulated, plus adapting to the new car design philosophy and language, which will take time.

Being able to bring everyone together to rub out a new side box is already a blast for everyone in Meiben.

Although it didn't bring any performance upgrades to the cars, Mercedes did bring new nose and rear wings to both cars this week.

Reminiscent of the upcoming race at Monza, everyone knows the specific effect of these two aerodynamic kits brought by the Mercedes team.

During the first practice, Qin Miao and Hamilton both changed to a new nose wing and tail wing for testing on the field, and of course they also changed back to the original rear wing for testing.

However, before the practice was over, the two drivers came to the conclusion that the low-drag aerodynamic package was more effective at Monza.

After all, after the changes this season, the biggest feature of the Mercedes car is that the downforce is particularly strong, which naturally brings more body resistance than expected.

The low-drag aerodynamic package at Monza and the strong downforce of the W13 itself make the current W13 surprisingly well-balanced at Monza.

There was decent speed on the straights, and good corners at Monza were the few high-speed corners.

So much so that after the end of the first practice, the two cars of the Meiben team directly dominated the first and second lists.

During the second practice, the two drivers were more likely to find the most comfortable tuning on the track, and at the same time help the team collect data from the car, so that the team could better carry out the research and development of subsequent components.

Another interesting thing about the second practice was that Mick had an engine problem halfway through the second training session.

There was a brief yellow flag on the track, which was then turned into a red flag, but Tsunoda did not slow down enough during the yellow flag, and was sent back three times by the FIA, and two points were deducted from the super license, and he was directly at the end of the team during the race.

Qin Miao's results in the third practice were so-so, and Qin Miao did not do lap results during the whole process, and has been helping the team collect long-distance data, which is similar to the work of the second practice.

During the third practice, the only thing worth mentioning was that Albon was taken to the hospital for appendicitis surgery because he was unwell, referred to as a stomachache.

Albon's place will be replaced by Williams' reserve driver De Vries.

This is undoubtedly great news for De Vries.

There's a game to prove on the field.

And De Vries weighs 15 kilograms less than Albon.

That's thirty pounds.

This weight is reflected on the track, which is a speed increase of at least 0.5 seconds per lap.

As for why the same drivers, Dove is so much lighter......

Alex Albon, 1.86 meters tall.

And Nick De Vries, who is 1.68 meters tall.

Of course, the FIA can't afford to leave such a big hole for the team to exploit, all cars have a minimum weight, and De Vries's cars will add counterweights to meet the minimum weight requirements before the start of the race.

Of course, it is not without its benefits, that is, the Williams team can adjust the overall balance of the car according to their needs by changing the position of the counterweight.

However, because of the addition of De Vries, Williams' car also reached the minimum weight required by the FIA in today's race, and the overall speed will definitely be much faster.

……

In the qualifying stage, although Qin Miao and Hamilton both confirmed that they were going to accept penalties in the main stage.

But the qualifying session still came out and ran.

On the one hand, it is to take advantage of the qualifying period to have a run-in time between the various parts of the car that have been replaced.

Moreover, the qualifying stage is also a relatively extreme working condition, and if any problems are exposed in the qualifying stage, you can start to solve them in advance.

Anyway, it's the end of the team, and it doesn't matter if you get fined because of a part problem.

The final consideration is to familiarize the drivers with the track.

Qin Miao and Hamilton in Q1 did not pull each other's wake, but they normally brushed the lap speed on the track at their own pace.

With the individual abilities of the two and the performance of the car, the two naturally entered Q2 with ease.

Entering Q2, Qin Miao and Hamilton also advanced easily, both of them even used only one set of soft tires, and the rest of the flight circle Qin Miao and Hamilton both used old soft tires to do results on the track.

Q3。

Qin Miao considered that even if he got the pole position in the qualifying stage, the starting position of the main race was only 15th, so the adjustment used in the qualifying race was the adjustment of the main race.

Comparatively speaking, the overall downforce of the car will be a little higher than that of qualifying.

Therefore, although Qin Miao was green in the last lap of Q3, Qin Miao's ranking was only 7th.

Therefore, Qin Miao's starting position in the main stage of tomorrow's race is 19th.

As for why Qin Miao didn't start from the end of the team, it was thanks to Tsunoda, without him, Qin Miao would really have to start from the end of the team.

The Q1 qualifying race of Tsunoda, which started from thirteen positions, was eliminated, so he directly nodded to Qin Miao.

At the same time, Qin Miao's teammate Hamilton got a good fifth place in the qualifying stage, and Hamilton started in front of Qin Miao in the 18th position in the main race tomorrow.

In the end, the ranking of the qualifying rounds is as follows:

1: Leclerc

2: Verstappen

3: Sainz

4: Pérez

5: Hamilton

6: Norris

7: Qin Miao

8: Ricardo

9: Gasly

10: Alonso

But because there are so many penalties to go back, the starting order for tomorrow's main draw is actually like this:

1: Leclerc

2: Norris

3: Ricardo

4: Gasly

5: Alonso

6: Verstappen

7: De Vries

8: Zhou Guanyu

9: Russell

10: Sebastian Vettel

11: Stroll

12: Pérez

13: Aucon

14: Bottas

15: Magnussen

16: Mick

17: Sainz

18: Hamilton

19: Qin Miao

20: Tsunoda

No matter how many penalties Qin Miao and the others retired, anyway, the Ferrari fans on the scene were completely excited after the qualifying session.

Ferrari's Leclerc took pole position at home, while Sainz also finished third.

Although Sainz will also be sent to the back of the team in the race, the performance of the two Ferrari cars today proved to the Ferrari fans in the field that this season's Ferrari is still there despite its condition, at least the ability of its drivers and the speed of the car.

At home, you can still look forward to seeing if Ferrari can be pole to win in the main race this week.

After the qualifying round, Qin Miao went to participate in the post-race interview, and Saturday's work was all over.

On Sunday, Qin Miao came to the track early in the morning.

Qin Miao rediscovered herself in Italy, because Qin Miao found that he was almost the most popular driver here except for the two Ferrari drivers, and even the two drivers under Alfa Romeo, who were also playing at home, were not as popular as Qin Miao here.

To be honest, Qin Miao was really surprised.

But when you think about it, it's normal again.

On the one hand, he was trained from the Ferrari Academy, and on the other hand, he was still a world champion, in the eyes of the Ferrari audience, maybe Qin Miao was like an adopted son raised by his own family who went out to struggle, and then he was still famous outside.

No one put pressure on himself on the field, and Qin Miao's mentality at this week's Italian Grand Prix naturally calmed down a lot.

But despite this, neither Qin Miao nor Hamilton thought about how many points they could score on the track in today's race.

Both wanted to score as many points as they could, but they weren't sure how much they could get.

In the main race stage, the local temperature in Monza was 26°, and the track temperature was 39°, and the weather conditions were similar to yesterday's qualifying, and most of the data can be directly applied.

The 53-lap race plus a pit stop took about 25 seconds, so the prevailing pit stop strategy for this race was one stop.

Qin Miao's race was no exception, and he decided to use the yellow-red one-stop pit stop strategy before the game began.
