In fact, viewers who did not pay much attention to F1 races before did not know that there was a Chinese driver in F2 because of one well-known thing: the domestic environment does not have the soil to give birth to a qualified F1 driver.
Only those who often watch F1 games know that there is Zhou Guanyu in F2.
Even some light F1 fans and viewers who don't follow F2 races don't know that there is a person like Zhou Guanyu.
But things are different now. Instead of one Chinese driver in F2, there are obviously two Chinese drivers in F2, and the relationship between the two Chinese drivers is particularly good. This is a gimmick and can easily attract everyone's attention in China. .
So after this picture was sent back to China, it quickly aroused heated discussions on major social platforms.
[Is this Xiao Zhou? Who is the other one? 】
[That’s Qin Miao, who was trained by Ferrari youth and just entered F2 this year]
[Xiao Zhou and Xiao Qin have such a good relationship]
[If you look at Zhou Guanyu’s Weibo, you will know that these two play games together every night...]
[I want all the information about this handsome guy in red! Right now! 】
[Holy shit, since when did F2 have two more Chinese people? 】
[Is this a race track? 】
[Yes, this should be walking on the track. Tomorrow is the start of the Austrian Grand Prix. Walking on the track today is considered normal]
[Why can there be so little information about Qin Miao on the Internet? Even his game videos cannot be found]
[My hope for Xiao Zhou this year is to be on the podium. As for Xiao Qin, be bold and be on the podium like Xiao Zhou]
[Is it really appropriate to put so much pressure on newcomers? I just hope that Qin Miao can get familiar with the feeling of the game as soon as possible in the first season, and then he can be as competitive as Xiao Zhou. 】
[Anyway, let’s silently bless these two young drivers. By the way, Xiao Qin can really compete with his looks. 】
…
The two people on the track naturally didn't know that they were just walking on the track, and it was already very popular in China.
The two of them were still measuring the length and various details of the Red Bull Ring with their own feet.
During this process, the two were in a state of mutual inspiration, but Qin Miao's understanding of the track was obviously deeper than Zhou Guanyu's, while Zhou Guanyu's driving skills on this track were more proficient than Qin Miao's. When people walk on the track, they magically cause some chemical reactions, which can complement each other.
Because when I walked the track with my friends, we had too much fun talking.
So much so that both of them forgot about the passage of time. When the group of them returned to Room P again, the sky had begun to get dark, and the time had come to 5 p.m., and the track would be closed in another hour.
However, the two of them had completed the last work of the day. After returning to the P room to summarize the results of the track, they went to have dinner together.
We didn't get together to go out and play in the evening. After all, there was a game tomorrow, and everyone had their priorities straight and knew that this was not the time to play.
However, many drivers who hope that they can perform well in the first race of the year will work more or less on the simulator at this time.
Of course, this does not include Qin Miao. After returning to the hotel after dinner, this person happily took a shower, then opened his laptop and started playing games again.
A night of silence.
Qin Miao, who woke up driven by her biological clock, squinted her eyes slightly to adapt to the surrounding light for a while, then moved Qiu Meng's long legs away from her belly, and took her hands out of Qiu Meng's clothes. come out.
After smelling the faint fragrance of milk on her hands, Qin Miao started to wash up happily.
After changing clothes, he jogged directly to the track. After all, the track was not far from the hotel. Qin Miao ran there as a warm-up exercise that he had to do every morning.
As for his wife, Qin Miao's work in the morning was mainly to make some preparations before the game, which had little to do with her work, so Qin Miao did not wake him up to let her sleep a little longer.
Qin Miao was given a lot of preparation time in the morning, and then the practice session in the afternoon was to familiarize Qin Miao with the track, and collect data for Qin Miao's crew members while he was racing on the track, so that they could formulate the next schedule. Tuning and tire allocation for qualifying and race races.
But in fact, the main work is to find a tuning setting that suits Qin Miao's driving style, because compared to F1, F2 only has five sets of dry tires, three sets of soft tires, two sets of hard tires, and three sets of tires for a grand prix weekend. Rain tires.
This tire allocation is really a no-brainer.
The morning was spent busy with the car. Qin Miao also adjusted the settings of the car to the simulator according to the data he had run in the simulator. The setting was the most comfortable for him to drive. After that it was time to wait for the afternoon practice session to start.
At this time, the number of spectators in the paddock had gradually increased. Even though Qin Miao and his team's P room was at least a hundred meters away from the area where the tourists were staying, Qin Miao could vaguely hear the sound coming from there. Loud and noisy.
Qin Miao didn't join in the fun. After completing the preparations for the car, he was planning to take a look at Zhou Guanyu while he still had some free time.
However, Qin Miao was stopped by Luo Xin.
"There is an official interview with you from the FIA. This is the first time that a major media has officially interviewed you. Be careful when you speak." Patting his favorite general on the shoulder, Rosin, despite having already warned him, Still a little worried, he asked: "I know you are a little, um... casual in private, but these interview videos will be released before the game. You must think carefully before you say or do anything. as a result of."
"Don't worry, boss, I know what's going on." Qin Miao assured him, patting his chest.
Luo Xin was still a little uneasy, but when Qin Miao was being interviewed later, it was inconvenient for him, the team leader, to follow him, even if he was watching Qin Miao nearby, because it would send out some misleading signals.
In order to avoid trouble, Luo Xin could only avoid Qin Miao when he was being interviewed.
After a while, a guy wearing a suit and shirt and a photographer with a handheld camera found Qin Miao in the P room area.
"Hello Qin, I am a reporter from Liberty Media Group. Is it convenient for you now? I want to ask you a few questions. I won't take up much of your time."
Qin Miao, who was mentally prepared, naturally had no reason to refuse and nodded to indicate that the other party could ask.
The questions asked by the other party were relatively formulaic. After listening to Luo Xin's advice, Qin Miao didn't do anything. She answered the reporter's questions in a decent manner, and then left with the other party's polite thanks.
Qin Miao's satisfactory answer also became the opening interview during the practice match.
No matter how Qin Miao disagrees with the drivers in Ferrari's youth training, he is still a member of Ferrari's youth training, and Ferrari is an extremely special team for F1 and even the entire FIA.
Therefore, the organizers will naturally take more care of Ferrari drivers.
After lunch, Qin Miao went back to rest, while Prema Racing technicians pushed their team's equipment into the pit lane and arranged it.
In fact, this location is the open space at the entrance of the F1 team's P room.
By the time Qin Miao changed into his racing suit in the team's temporary P room and brought his helmet to the pit channel, the team was already ready. The two Prema Racing cars had been placed and replaced with brand-new ones. tire.
Because Qin Miao entered the track from the entrance of the pit area, he had to pass by many team parking areas on his way to his team's parking spot.
Among these teams is Zhou Guanyu’s team.
Not seeing Zhou Guanyu, he didn't stop and went directly to the temporary P room of his team.
After completing all the work, Sui Wentao, who was resting on the load-bearing pillar at the door of Room P, saw Qin Miao coming, and quickly picked up the document he had placed on the tire rack and handed it to Qin Miao.
This is a vehicle inspection report. After each technician inspects the car before a race, he must hand this report to the driver, who then cross-checks it to ensure the condition of the car before the race: "Car inspection report form, all confirmed just now After passing it, the car will be fine.”
Qin Miao nodded, came to the side of his racing car and reached out to wipe the bright five-star red flag next to the QIN that represented his name. After wiping, Qin Miao also came into contact with the racing car, and the effect of the man-car integration skill was also It was highlighted, and Qin Miao had a clearer understanding of the status of his car at this time.
Indeed, as Sui Wentao said, there is nothing wrong with this car.
Qin Miao simply stopped checking it and directly took the document in Sui Wentao's hand and signed it, which was regarded as approval of Sui Wentao's pre-match preparations.
Seeing Qin Miao's actions, Sui Wentao was stunned, but before he could say anything, Qin Miao walked through the track maintenance area with the contract and handed it to Luo Xin, who was sitting on the podium, completing the handover. Work.
When Luo Xin took the document handed over by Qin Miao, she encouraged Qin Miao a few words.
Qin Miao just nodded, and then returned to his racing car.
I moved my body next to the car, then put on the noise-cancelling headphones, put on a sweat-absorbent headscarf, and finally put on the helmet.
This helmet was the one given by Zhou Guanyu. After all, it was his first time participating in an official F2 race. Qin Miao also thought it would be better to wear a more commemorative helmet.
After everything was ready, Qin Miao got into the cockpit. It was still more than ten minutes before the start of the F2 practice session. Qin Miao needed to get into the car to get a feel for it, and to calm down as he was about to set foot on the track for the first time. excitement.
"Franky, didn't I send you a playlist before I came here? I happen to have some free time before the game starts. Set it to random play mode and let me listen." Qin Miao said in TR.
Franky didn't say anything, but after a while, Qin Miao's headphones sounded a familiar melody:
…
Run forward, facing cold looks and ridicule
How can you feel the vastness of life without going through hardships?
Destiny cannot make us kneel down and beg for mercy
Even if blood is spilled all over my arms
…
Qin Miao has always liked this song, which is why he added this song to his playlist. However, listening to this song when he is trying to calm his restless heart seems to easily have the opposite effect...
But before Qin Miao asked Franky to change a song, Qin Miao felt his helmet being knocked.
Turning his head to look in confusion, he saw Zhou Guanyu standing next to his car looking at him who had already put on his helmet.
Seeing Qin Miao looking over, Zhou Guanyu stretched out his hand to Qin Miao, and Qin Miao also stretched out his hand to shake his hand.
"Are you nervous about the first official race practice session?" After shaking hands with Qin Miao, Zhou Guanyu sat directly on the side box of Qin Miao's racing car.
"Don't break my racing car!" Qin Miao complained when he saw this scene, but he also knew that there was no way that the carbon fiber side cases could be damaged by Zhou Guanyu's several hundred kilograms, it was just a joke.
However, Qin Miao still answered Zhou Guanyu's doubts: "It would be a lie to say that I'm not nervous, but it's really not that much. What's more, I'm excited. I have a very strong desire to express myself... I want to show off, and this is The bigger the show, the better.”
Zhou Guanyu was speechless: "Tell the truth. After the practice race is over, do you want me to give you my car settings for reference?"
"No, it will be troublesome to be investigated by the FIA when the time comes. And with my strength, there is no need for it. But you, do you want my debugging data?"
"Are you afraid of the FIA? I'm not afraid anymore? Seeing you like this probably means you don't have much burden in your heart, and your father will feel relieved." After saying that, Zhou Guanyu rubbed the helmet he gave to Qin Miao twice, and rubbed it hard. Qin Miao's helmet hit the headrest with a loud bang. After rubbing it, Zhou Guanyu turned around and ran away.
Qin Miao immediately realized that Zhou Guanyu was taking advantage of him, so he saw Qin Miao cursing and extending a hand to grab Zhou Guanyu, but due to the safety belt and the fact that F2 was basically In a lying down position and in an extremely confined space, Qin Miao didn't even extend his hands out of the body of his racing car, and could only watch Zhou Guanyu's back fading away.
Qin Miao, who was sitting in the car, could not bear to think about it for a while, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt frustrated. She took a step back and became more and more angry.
He simply opened his headrest, unbuckled his seat belt, put on his helmet and headed towards the direction of Zhou Guanyu's motorcade.
By the time Qin Miao came to Zhou Guanyu's team, Zhou Guanyu had already begun to work, but at this time he was wearing a helmet, and Qin Miao happened to catch Timing and his perspective was blocked.
But Qin Miao understood the essence of Lao Liu and quietly walked around behind Zhou Guanyu when he was wearing his helmet.
People at UNI-Virtuosi Racin know that their shareholder Zhou Guanyu has a good relationship with Qin Miao.
So when they saw Qin Miao grabbing Timing and coming behind Zhou Guanyu, they didn't remind Zhou Guanyu.
For this kind of fight between good friends, they just watch it as amusement, and it is best not to disturb them.
Qin Miao waited for Zhou Guanyu to put on the helmet and fasten the tether, then slapped Zhou Guanyu on the helmet.
Because he knew that Zhou Guanyu was wearing a helmet, and the shock-absorbing ability of racing helmets was famously strong, Qin Miao almost used all his strength this time. Although the instantaneous shock was not very lethal, the sudden force still hit Zhou Guanyu. Staggered.
As soon as the blow was successful, Qin Miao ran away without hesitation.
Of course, I didn’t forget to laugh out loud: “Hahahahahaha!”
Zhou Guanyu reacted, and when he saw Qin Miao's figure running away, he cursed angrily: "Little Chi, just wait for me!"
While shouting, Zhou Guanyu chased him out.
On the other side, Qiu Meng, who was watching the game above the P room, happened to see this scene. Holding a cup of milk tea in her hand, she curled her lips: "Childish!"
