"That's right, it's me." Leclerc nodded with a smile, and then sincerely praised: "Your driving skills are very good. You are one of the best people I have ever seen playing simulators."
Faced with Leclerc's praise, Qin Miao still looked a little stupid.
If you take Qin Miao's perspective at this time, you won't find anything surprising about Qin Miao's performance.
Originally, you just participated in a small competition with the idea of having fun. After a little effort, you won the game. You were happy when the person who gave you a lot of pressure suddenly put the helmet on his head. Li: Didn’t you expect that? I'm Ferrari's F1 driver Leclerc.
Anyone in this situation would be confused for a while.
"Fuck..." After slowing down for a while, Qin Miao blurted out the quintessence of Chinese culture. Then he took Leclerc's extended hand in a somewhat flattered voice and said, "I can't believe it's Leclerc who is competing against me."
Leclerc replied: "I feel honored to race against you, and congratulations on beating me and winning."
When he said this, Leclerc pointed to something that looked like a camera on the side and said: "The reward for this small event is that you may appear in my documentary. Of course, you can also refuse. In addition, The other reward was to give you a VIP ticket for the Ferrari team, but..." At this point, Leclerc paused and pointed to the bracelet on Qin Miao's hand. The meaning was already obvious. You, Qin Miao, are already a VIP of the Ferrari team, so giving you another one is of no use.
"So, I'll give you this helmet of mine." Leclerc patted the white BELL helmet resting on his lap.
Qin Miao was originally very surprised that the person competing against him was actually Leclerc. Now after Leclerc reminded him, Qin Miao realized belatedly: He seemed to have defeated... Leclerc in the game?
"Fuck!" For a moment, a feeling of accomplishment or something else filled Qin Miao's heart, and he felt goosebumps all over his body.
However, this feeling did not last long, and soon another surprise was sent to him. Leclerc was going to give himself a helmet that he had worn!
The most important thing is that this helmet will be unique to Qin Miao. To put it shamelessly, this is the trophy he got after defeating Leclerc.
"Thank you, thank you... thank you very much." As a fan of Wofa, I can compete with Leclerc, one of the two Ferrari drivers, on the same simulator. After the race, I can still get the opponent's time to compete. Wearing a helmet, Qin Miao has undoubtedly reached the peak of his fandom at this moment.
Qin Miao reached out to take Leclerc's helmet, but the other party did not hand the helmet to Qin Miao immediately, but said: "Wait for me."
After finishing speaking, he waved to the staff on the side, and the staff promptly handed over a black marker pen.
Leclerc quickly signed his name on Qin Miao's helmet.
After signing, Leclerc turned to Qin Miao and asked: "What's your name?"
"Qin Miao."
"Chinese?"
"right."
"...Okay." After signing his name and writing a blessing, Leclerc handed the helmet to Qin Miao.
Now this white helmet not only has Leclerc's autograph, but also a blessing written by Leclerc specifically for Qin Miao.
At this moment, Qin Miao knew that he was really awesome. Not to mention anything else, just putting this helmet at home can keep the house in check.
After sending the helmet away, Leclerc said: "My work here has come to an end and I have to go to the next event. I wish you all a happy time at Silverstone~"
Qin Miao nodded quickly and said, "Okay, I hope you can find the training settings you want today."
Hearing this unique blessing from the young man who had just defeated him, Leclerc looked back at Qin Miao in surprise, and then said with a smile: "I'll see you in the P room then."
Qin Miao nodded, and then watched Leclerc leave from the back door surrounded by security guards.
After watching Leclerc leave, Qin Miao had time to observe the situation around him.
After the other party left, Qin Miao began to wonder why no fans rushed to ask Leclerc for his autograph after Leclerc appeared in such a crowded place with fans?
Looking back, Qin Miao found that the simulator had been surrounded by fans for some time. Many of them were Ferrari fans wearing Ferrari clothes. In front of them, there was a wall of sighs composed of security guards. Everyone was blocked out.
It seems that this small event has been planned by the officials for a long time, and the security measures are so perfect.
It wasn't until Leclerc left that the security gradually let go of the crowd.
Now that Leclerc is gone, most fans turned away with disappointment.
Only then did Qin Miao realize belatedly that when he was chatting with Leclerc just now, he had ignored the noise in the crowd behind him.
However, after the security guards let go of the crowd, several people soon came to Qin Miao anxiously.
One of them said straight to the point: "Brother, how about you transfer Leclerc's signature helmet to me? I'll pay 5,000 pounds in cash."
But before he finished speaking, another person approached and said, "I'll pay you 6,000 pounds!"
The person who made the first quotation looked at the person who followed him up with a look of displeasure. He quickly turned to Qin Miao and increased the price to 8,000 pounds.
"£10,000!"
…
Inexplicably, the prototype of a small auction appeared in front of Qin Miao.
The current price of 10,000 pounds is already considered very high in Qin Miao's opinion. After all, that's about all the money the two of them spent coming here from China to play this time.
Just because he got to know Leclerc and had a not-so-intense e-sports match with him, Qin Miao got a helmet, and if he wanted to buy this helmet, all the money he spent to participate in the British Grand Prix would be It can be reimbursed directly.
Leclerc invited Qin Miao to participate in the British Grand Prix, and all meals and accommodation were included.
At the same time, Qin Miao was deeply shocked by the added value of these F1 drivers.
Is every piece of dandruff on this F1 driver worth five dollars?
However, Qin Miao would never sell this helmet that Leclerc specially signed with his name. Although Qin Miao would not put this helmet at home as an offering, he would carefully protect it with an acrylic display cabinet after returning home. That's for sure.
After politely declining the tourists who came over to offer money to buy the helmet, Qin Miao hugged the helmet tightly in her arms, pulled Qiu Meng and left the simulation experience area.
After shopping all the way, Qin Miao was also hungry, so he took Qiu Meng to find a restaurant in the paddock and ordered butter shortbread and barbecue.
To be honest, for people like Qin Miao and Qiu Meng who come from gourmet countries, the food here only tastes average and barely edible.
After eating something to pad their stomachs, the two of them found a sightseeing car on the road and went to the P room of the motorcade.
Although the F2 practice session has not been completed yet, it will not be long before Qin Miao walked back to the viewing area above the team's P room and rested for a while before the F2 practice session ended.
While in the viewing area, Qin Miao and Qiu Meng saw a young man of similar age appearing in the competition area, but he appeared in the F2 car as a driver.
Although Qin Miao likes racing, he usually only watches F1 games. For example, he doesn't know much about F2 games and players.
However, Qin Miao still had a certain degree of curiosity about this driver. Who is this guy? Chinese?
It's a pity that Qin Miao didn't stay in the stands during the F2 practice just now, so he couldn't get more information through the big screen in the stands.
Now it is time for the F2 team to withdraw. Qin Miao, who is above the P room, can see some F2 team staff pushing small carts and leaving the P room after the first practice. The F2 team The racing car was also pushed away.
After a while, F1 staff also poured out of their rest area with their own bags and bags, opened their P room, and parked their F1 car inside the P room to practice for the British Grand Prix. Final preparations before.
Qin Miao and Qiu Meng also went downstairs at this time. After showing their bracelets, they successfully entered Ferrari's P room.
The VIP area where the two of them were staying was very close to the F1 car. It was a baffle behind the butt of the F1 car. Behind the baffle was where the VIPs watched the race.
At this time, Leclerc and Vettel hadn't arrived yet, and the car hadn't started yet. Qin Miao was curiously observing the facilities inside the F1 team.
There are a lot of monitors showing professional data charts, walkie-talkies and noise-canceling headphones for each person, and arms that can run a horse.
Among the many monitors, Qin Miao could see only a few of them for specific purposes, and Qin Miao had only a vague idea of what the Ferrari staff were busy with at this time.
But soon the Ferrari staff handed Qin Miao and Qiu Meng red noise-canceling headphones with the Ferrari prancing horse logo printed on them.
Because it was a practice session, Ferrari's other VIPs didn't come at all. Only the newbies Qin Miao and Qiu Meng were curious and wanted to come over to see how the F1 team worked during the practice session.
Qin Miao and Qiu Meng don't know why they need to wear headphones, but Qin Miao doesn't refuse anyone who comes, so I'll put them on if you give them to me.
One thing to say, the effect of this noise-canceling headset is indeed immediate.
After putting it on, the decibels of noise coming from the outside world can be said to be instantly reduced by more than 50%. For a moment, there is an illusion that the whole world has become quiet.
However, the two people's attention soon shifted because they discovered that Ferrari was already preparing to start its own car.
I saw a Ferrari staff member pick up a pole nearly two meters long. There were some structures on the front end of the pole that Qin Miao couldn't understand. There was also a large motor and control panel on the back end. Then the Ferrari people directly removed the pole from the car. The tail thrust the pole in.
However, this was not the end, but only the beginning, because after the pole was inserted, a staff member connected a hose to a gap in the car's engine and began to fill it with water.
Qin Miao was confused. Why do you need to add water to start an F1 car? Are the cooling effects of other mixed liquids better than water anyway?
However, Qin Miao soon noticed a detail. The water they added to the racing car was actually boiling water.
Nowadays, the precision of parts of F1 racing cars has reached the micron level, and the tolerances between parts are very small.
Therefore, the parts are directly locked together when the car is cold, and there is no way to perform a so-called cold start.
Only when the temperature of the engine rises and the outer casing expands after the temperature rises, will there be enough gaps between the parts to operate freely.
The two of them just watched a group of Ferrari staff working on the rear of the car for more than half an hour. Then a Ferrari staff member ran to the long pole that was inserted into the back of the car and started the motor on the long pole.
With a "boom" sound.
The Ferrari SF90 was finally started amidst a loud noise.
To be honest, since F1 entered the hybrid era, the audience can no longer hear the high-pitched but unique engine roar of V12 and V10.
But after experiencing behind the scenes of current F1 cars, Qin Miao feels that the current F1 V6 hybrid engine is not quiet at all, and the sound is not unpleasant at all, but it is indeed a little less passionate than the V10 of the year. a feeling of.
After the SF90 was started, everyone in the Ferrari P room put on noise-canceling headphones.
Qin Miao curiously took off a corner of his noise-canceling headphones, wanting to feel how noisy it was outside.
He soon regretted it. A noise of at least 130 decibels penetrated directly into Qin Miao's ears, stinging his eardrums and shaking his whole body.
Qin Miao quickly put the headphones back on. Now Qin Miao finally understood why all the F1 team staff wore noise-canceling headphones when they had nothing to do.
If you do not have a pair of noise-canceling headphones to protect your ears in such a working environment, it will definitely affect your hearing over a long period of time.
And aside from this, listening to this huge noise for a long time will make people feel upset, and they will definitely not be in a working state for a long time.
After the car started, Ferrari staff began to check the status of the car intensively.
They need to ensure that there is no force majeure damage to the vehicle during transportation.
Not long after, there was a sudden commotion at the entrance behind Room P.
Qin Miao looked back and saw a man walking in who was at least 1.9 meters tall, with curly brown hair and a pair of black round glasses on his nose.
Qin Miao, who often watches F1 games, is no stranger to this man's appearance. He is Ferrari's team leader: Mattia Binotto.
Ferrari fans always warmly and affectionately refer to Binotto as: Bihi.
