The nature of Lawson's meeting is a bit like giving a pie to his employees, but Ferrari's pie is not like those small start-up companies that can only be seen but not eaten. At Ferrari, as long as you work hard and achieve results, there is still something to be gained. Maybe he put this piece of cake into his own mouth.
Lawson's meeting mainly talked about the process of the competition and some precautions during the competition:
The morning time is for the qualifying stage of the three categories. There will be a total of two hours at noon plus a meal break. After that, there will be three groups of races, namely F4, F3, and touring car racing.
Qualifying determines the rankings in the race, and there will not be a reverse start like the official F2 race. Whatever ranking you get in qualifying will start in the race.
As for rewards, Lawson said that as long as you win the championship of the current group, you may get rewards, but the specific content of the rewards is not stated clearly. Lawson just said: "Say, after one of you wins the championship, Just know it.”
After explaining everything in the meeting clearly, Lawson gave Qin Miao and other young drivers some time to digest.
Taking advantage of this period of time, Qin Miao carefully observed the riders who were going to compete with him on the same stage. Most of them were children, many of whom were minors under ten years old.
However, it is not difficult to see their hesitation and nervousness from those young faces.
There are also many riders who look older than Qin Miao, but it is possible that these people are just growing up because of their race.
It is worth mentioning that Qin Miao did not see Mick Schumacher and several other official drivers affiliated with Ferrari's youth training in the crowd.
Qin Miao didn't pay much attention.
After a while, people got up and left one after another.
Seeing this, Qin Miao knew it was time to prepare for the game, so he followed their lead and left the meeting room.
At this time, there were already many people sitting in the stands of the track.
There are many photographers carrying cameras among these people, but most of them are in suits and ties, looking like successful people. There are also many audience members who are casually dressed and even holding fruit drinks and beers in their hands.
But everyone knows that it is absolutely impossible for the audience to be here at this time.
Among the group of people in the audience, the most conspicuous one was an extremely tall man wearing a Ferrari F1 team uniform, curly hair, and black round-rimmed glasses.
As long as he sees this outfit, his name will immediately come to mind of everyone who knows the sport of F1: Mattia Binotto.
The current team leader of the Ferrari F1 team, fans "affectionately" call him Bihi.
However, people who are familiar with him usually call him by his name or "Teacher".
Qin Miao also calls him Teacher Bi in private.
The two communicated in private many times. Thanks to the opportunity Binotto gave Qin Miao to test the simulator, when Binotto came to inspect the results of the simulator upgrade or the testing of new parts, he would always find Qin Miao to find out more. What does Qin Miao think about new parts or changes in the new version of the simulator?
After going back and forth, the two of them became familiar with each other, but their understanding was not very high, because the topics of their exchanges were mostly about work.
At the same time, in addition to him, there were also many team leaders from customer teams that use Ferrari cars in GT events. After all, with such a relationship with Ferrari, they will definitely have Ferrari's youth training drivers. Some priorities.
In addition to them, the team leaders of formula teams that have a good relationship with Ferrari came to the scene, and there were also many professional driver agents.
Teams need good drivers to improve the overall strength of their team, and driver agents also need to find good clients to increase their income and popularity. Many young drivers generally do not have driver agents, and this game is a way to find good clients. potential young drivers, and went to communicate and try to sign a contract.
Many people are salivating over these talents at Ferrari.
Qualifying in the morning started in the order of Touring Car, F4, and F3.
Because the number of people is not large, the total time for the three qualifying matches will not exceed two hours.
It was exactly 10:30 in the morning when Qin Miao and his group, the F3 group, came on stage.
Qin Miao drove the car onto the track at the reminder of the radio in his ear.
At the same time, four F3 cars also drove out of their P room, and their speeds were not slow. It was obvious that like Qin Miao, they wanted to fight for a relatively open flying circle position in the next qualifying session.
Qin Miao was not in a hurry, and completed a warm-up lap in an orderly manner. Then he paused slightly before the penultimate corner and waited for the F3 car in front of him to run a little further before he stepped on the accelerator. .
At this time, the track in front of Qin Miao was relatively empty. Gradually adding fuel, Qin Miao began to continuously increase his speed. After crossing the finish line, he officially started his first flying lap in qualifying.
Qin Miao has figured out the route of this track and all the curves. Although he can't drive a lap with his eyes closed, Qin Miao has basically kept all the braking points in mind.
In addition, Qin Miao did two flying laps on this track during practice yesterday and became familiar with the limits of the current F3 car. It can be said that Qin Miao is full of confidence at this time.
The first lap was completed quickly, and Qin Miao set the fastest lap in the F3 category, 1:08:201.
When Qin Miao finished his first lap, Lu Bosi's voice came from the TR: "1:08:201, you are now ranked first, a full three seconds faster than the second place driver!"
At the end of the sentence, Lubos's voice was trembling.
Being ignorant before, Lubos didn't know what Qin Miao's talent was.
Therefore, when it came to assigning himself to Qin Miao at the Ferrari Driver Academy, Lubos just regarded it as an ordinary job.
However, as the time spent with Qin Miao increased, Lubos discovered that Qin Miao was really hard-working and the kind of person who would pull others to take the initiative to practice more.
Although this kind of person is rare to see, there are not many such people in the world, so Lawson only admires Qin Miao a little at this time.
But when Qin Miao became the test driver of the Ferrari F1 team simulator, Lubos knew that Qin Miao's talent was as terrifying as his perseverance.
But at that time, Lubos just had a hunch that Qin Miao was really strong. He knew that Qin Miao was very strong, but he didn't know how strong Qin Miao really was.
The ranking results this time completely let Lubos know the depth of Qin Miao, and he was very excited to have hugged Qin Miao's lap.
Although this speed is not the maximum speed that an F3 car can run on this track, it is definitely not slow. Moreover, in order to achieve an effective result in this lap, Qin Miao did not go as fast as yesterday for the second time. Pushing towards the limit like that in the test, the results are not as fast as in the practice match.
After finishing this lap, Qin Miao went directly back to the pit area to change tires.
After finishing the lap just now, Qin Miao felt that she was in good condition today and was ready to push her limit in the next two laps.
Although the old set of red tires on Qin Miao's car at this time will not cause obvious speed loss if it runs two more laps, this is a qualifying race after all. In Qin Miao's opinion, even one thousandth of a second is worth changing. A new set of red tires to go for.
While Qin Miao was changing tires, the drivers on the field also began to exert their strength.
It's just that Qin Miao's results in that lap just now were like a big mountain weighing on everyone's heads. During this period, no driver on the field achieved results faster than Qin Miao.
After finding a gap and coming out of the pit area, Qin Miao made his second speeding lap without stopping.
During this speeding lap, Qin Miao pushed the car to the limit without reservation, repeatedly jumping between losing control and almost losing control.
Qin Miao learned from the TR that there was still a gap of more than one second between his first flying lap result and the second place result.
After receiving this news, Qin Miao knew that the results he achieved in his first flying lap might directly lead him to the pole position, and at worst he would start in the first two rows.
After receiving this news, Qin Miao felt confident. He didn't have to worry about anything, and he was ready to do his best to set the lap time from the second lap.
Then Qin Miao ran with all his strength in the second lap and the result was: 1:07:701.
With the brand new tires and Qin Miao pushing to the limit in every corner, Qin Miao made no mistakes during the flying lap, so he was able to achieve a terrifying speed that was a full 0.5 seconds faster than the first flying lap.
What Qin Miao didn't know was that his result had already broken the fastest result ever achieved by an F3 car on this track.
At this time, Qin Miao's acquaintance, Feeney, the head of the F3 division of the Prema Racing team, was also sitting in the stands watching his race.
Looking at the fastest lap displayed behind Qin Miao's name on the scoreboard, Finney was so happy that his lips almost reached behind his ears.
Originally, when Qin Miao was practicing with the British Prema team, Feeney knew that Qin Miao's talent was terrifying. Now four months later, Feeney discovered that Qin Miao was not a flash in the pan. When he saw Qin Miao again, Feeney I was even surprised to find that Qin Miao's strength had grown significantly in just four months.
Apart from anything else, putting Qin Miao's strength in F3 would be a dimensionality reduction attack. He estimated that after he recruited Qin Miao, Qin Miao would only be able to play in F3 for one season at most.
But no matter what, you, Qin Miao, have to drive in F3 for a year before going to F2, right?
So at this time, Feeney can't wait to talk to Lawson after qualifying, and then use the friendship between him and Qin Miao to invite him to have a meal together to talk about cooperation and joining the Prema team. It's about the F3 division.
He wants to have another genius and F3 team champion under his command. Although this genius experience card can only be used for one year, it is a year of fun. Thinking of Qin Miao driving his own team's car on the field after joining the team. Just thinking about how he was killing everyone, Fini was so excited that he couldn't help himself.
Just as Feeney was daydreaming about his bright future, a man sat in the empty seat next to Feeney.
As a migrant worker, Feeney had a relatively deep understanding of his boss's figure and aura, so when he found someone sitting next to him, Feeney glanced at him from the corner of his eye and felt the figure of the person sitting next to him. Very familiar.
Turning his head to take a look, Feeney was shocked at first, and then found with some horror that the person sitting next to him turned out to be his immediate boss, the team leader of Prema Racing: Rene Rosin.
(Note: The English translation is Luo Xin, and the Chinese and English translations will be unified in the following articles.)
"Hi, Rosin, I didn't expect to meet you here." As a subordinate, Feeney naturally stood up and greeted his boss immediately.
Luo Xin nodded and said with a smile: "It's really hard on you. You have to come here to inspect the young people on a hot day."
Feeney replied: "It's all my job, what I should do."
"Have you found any very talented drivers?" Rosin asked while looking at the electronic screen erected not far from their stand, looking at the rankings and driver names on the screen.
In fact, Feeney didn't want to let Luo Xin realize Qin Miao's terrifying talent too early, because after Luo Xin knew that there was such a genius as Qin Miao, it was very likely that he would take Qin Miao directly to F2.
If this really happened, Qin Miao would have nothing to do with him.
But this was his immediate boss after all. Even if he didn't explain to him how powerful Qin Miao was at this time, Luo Xin could still see Qin Miao's talent when it came to the competition based on Qin Miao's strength.
Moreover, I am already determined to win Qin Miao, and it is absolutely impossible to miss a driver of Qin Miao's level. When the time comes, a top-quality F3 driver contract will definitely be handed over to Qin Miao.
Rosin, the team leader, would definitely ask about a contract of this level, and he would still have to explain it to him when the time came.
So after a brief and almost imperceptible weighing, Feeney said honestly: "I am very optimistic about a Chinese driver. You should have an impression of him. He borrowed our F3 car for training some time ago, and he trained The results are very good and the improvement in driving skills is very obvious.”
"I have an impression of him." Rosin said with a look of realization: "After I saw his data at the time, I wanted to sign him, but at that time he had already signed a contract with the Ferrari youth training and was preparing to come to Malaya. Nairo is studying. At the same time, the two places in our F3 team are full, and the two kids performed well, so I put the idea of signing him on hold."
Feeney hurriedly said: "I actually had an idea for him at that time. I was thinking about letting him come to the F3 team to drive for a year after the season. I guarantee that as long as he comes to me, we will definitely get a team for the next season. champion."
Seeing Feeney's somewhat anxious look, Rosin smiled and nodded: "I have the same opinion as you. If this Chinese driver comes to our F3 team, he will definitely be able to contribute to our team within a short period of time." The F3 team once again won a constructors' championship."
Feeney quickly nodded in agreement with his leader's words, but before he could wipe the cold sweat from his head, Rosin changed the topic: "But I think based on his current performance, it is not impossible to come to me directly. "
Feeney:? ? ?
