After the meeting, Qin Miao sent Zhou Guanyu a WeChat message.
This is a WeChat account that Qin Miao re-registered abroad. His only friends are his mother, Qiu Meng, Zhou Guanyu, and Boss Zhou, his biggest financial backer.
The ones that Qin Miao used to use in the past have been handed over to Qiu Meng to take care of.
It's not that Qin Miao was indifferent to his former classmates and friends. The main reason is that Qin Miao now spends most of his time on training and studying, and a small part of his rest time is used to play games and relax. There is basically no free time to reply. Things like that, dealing with interpersonal relationships, but after all, China is an emotional society, and interpersonal relationships cannot but be maintained.
At this time, Qiu Meng, Qin Miao's manager, has more free time than Qin Miao, and she is more mature and sophisticated than Qin Miao in terms of worldly relations, so she is the most suitable candidate.
After Qin Miao sent Zhou Guanyu's WeChat message, the other party quickly replied to Qin Miao, and then sent Qin Miao the address where he wanted to eat.
The three of them went to have a buffet together. In Lubos's absence, Qin Miao had gradually forgotten his instructions. Although he didn't eat with open stomach, he basically had no taboos and could show off whatever delicious food he caught. Take two bites.
While eating, Zhou Guanyu watched Qin Miao eating high-fat and high-calorie foods like steak, fried chicken burgers, cola and the like. After eating, he even showed off a large box of ice cream as dessert, his eyes rolled. The child is about to stare out.
"What the hell, Qin Miao, you can't do it?" Zhou Guanyu's eyes were filled with shock.
He can still understand eating steak. After all, drivers still have a high demand for protein, and beef is a famous high-protein food.
But fried junk foods such as ice cream, cola and fried chicken burgers are natural enemies for athletes. Even if he eats a fried chicken wing, he has to regret it for a long time, while Qin Miao shows off Zhou Guanyu's usual expression without changing his expression after just one meal. The amount of junk food in a year, how could this not shock Xiao Zhou.
Of course, Qin Miao didn't explain anything. He just wiped his greasy mouth and showed Zhou Guanyu a meaningful smile.
Zhou Guanyu didn't understand, but he was shocked.
After returning to the hotel in the evening, Qin Miao took a shower and went to bed early. He had a game to run tomorrow and he didn't want to wait too late.
A night of silence.
Qin Miao got up early the next day, and Qiu Meng also got up very early today.
The two simply tidied up the room and then set off to the track.
After arriving at the track, it was another routine preparation, pre-race warm-up, reaction training, concentration training and so on.
Because Lubos was not here, Qin Miao came all by himself.
Although he has the strength, this is Qin Miao's first time running in a race on an FIA-certified track.
Although there were no spectators at the scene due to well-known reasons, Qin Miao also knew that there would be many people watching his game on TV, so Qin Miao was still a little nervous at this time.
The heartbeat began to speed up involuntarily, and sweat inevitably appeared on the palms of the hands.
However, Qin Miao's nervous state did not last long. Under Franky's signal, Qin Miao knew that the first round of F3 was over, and in ten minutes they would move the car and equipment to the maintenance area. Get ready to start the F2 race.
After signaling that he had received the signal, Qin Miao took the bag containing his racing suit and walked into the team's locker room.
He took off his casual clothes and put on a sweat-absorbent and close-fitting inner cushioning jumpsuit as a base layer, and then put on the red, white and green one-piece racing suit of the Prema team.
It's hot today, which is good news for racing, but not good news for racers.
So Qin Miao just put on the trousers of the racing suit. On the upper body, Qin Miao tied the sleeves with a knot around his waist just like how he tied his coat when he was a child.
This is very convenient. It won't be like Vettel with his sleeves draped beside his body, swinging around when he walks.
After getting dressed, Qin Miao went to the track alone. At this time, many team members were pushing cars, tires, tire changing equipment and tire changing tools towards the maintenance area and the track.
If you look down at the sky, you can see the crowd pouring into the track from the temporary P room of F2 like a long queue.
By the time he came to the pit area, his car had already been pushed onto the track by Sui Wentao and the others.
In the maintenance area, I found my own water bottle in-ear noise-canceling headphones, sweat-absorbent hood, helmet, gloves and steering wheel.
After picking up these equipment, Qin Miao went to the track.
There is a connecting exit between the track and the pit area, but in the middle section, Qin Miao had to pass many vehicles from here to the side of his car.
At this time, there were still more than ten minutes before the start of the F2 broadcast, which was considered to be a certain amount of spare time, so Qin Miao walked slowly and leisurely.
When he came to his car, the familiar figure did not appear in Zhou Guanyu's car in front of Qin Miao on the left. After confirming that Zhou Guanyu was not here, Qin Miao did not invest more energy there.
Then he asked Sui Wentao: "Is it possible that it will rain during this game?"
Sui Wentao had obviously read the weather forecast a long time ago. After hearing Qin Miao's question, he immediately answered without thinking: "The probability of rain is less than 15%, and there is basically no possibility of rain during the race. "
Qin Miao nodded clearly.
Then Sui Wentao said: "The car has been inspected for you in advance and is in good condition. It's up to you to perform next."
Qin Miao gave him a thumbs up: "Okay, just do it."
After taking a sip of the health potion in the water bottle, Qin Miao put on all the equipment.
Although the sun is very bright now, it will be very hot after putting on the racing suit, but there are less than 10 minutes left before the start of the race, and the heat will not last long, and Qin Miao saw a tire stuck in the trolley where Sui Wentao put the tires. A red parasol with the Prema team logo on it.
After putting on the equipment, Qin Miao jumped on the spot and moved his limbs, and then with the help of Sui Wentao, he got into the monocoque of the racing car.
After entering the racing car, Qin Miao locked the headrest, installed the steering wheel, and started the racing system. During the self-test of the racing system, Qin Miao inserted the plug of his earphones into the TR system that came with the racing car.
"Hey, hey, hey? Can you hear me?"
Franky's voice sounded: "Okay, very clear."
"receive……"
After testing TR's status as a routine, Qin Miao turned to look at the auditorium above Room P.
There was a beautiful figure looking at him. After he saw him looking, a bright smile suddenly appeared on the other person's face.
Then, in Qin Miao's somewhat stunned eyes, the girl made a big love gesture to herself with both hands in front of the public.
Qin Miao himself is a bit autistic, and naturally has some social fears.
If you let an introvert like Qin Miao do such an action in public, he would really be embarrassed to death. And when he saw his girlfriend doing such an action to him, although he was very moved, he still subconsciously dug his toes on the ground.
After a while, Qin Miao gave Qiu Meng a thumbs up to show that you are awesome.
After looking away, Qin Miao was ready to buff his racing car.
After a set of routine operations, Qin Miao felt that he might encounter many accidents today, but it was absolutely impossible to encounter an accident in which the car retired due to mechanical failure.
Sui Wentao, who had been holding an umbrella next to Qin Miao to protect him from the sun, obviously saw Qin Miao's actions. He didn't say anything about it. After all, there are many drivers who will do some special things like Qin Miao before the start of the game. ritual to bless yourself with relatively good luck in the next game.
Qin Miao's buff was added, and the five starting lights in the distance also turned on at the same time.
The five red lights that light up at this time are not to prepare to start, but to indicate that all drivers must enter their cars within one minute and the race is about to begin.
It was only then that Qin Miao saw Zhou Guanyu rushing over.
Fortunately, he had already put on his equipment at this time.
When Zhou Guanyu passed by Qin Miao, he turned his head and glanced at Qin Miao, who was already sitting in the racing car.
The two didn't have time to communicate, but they both saw a strong fighting spirit in each other's eyes.
In the simulator, the two of them fought frequently, and they were provoked by each other and torpedoed each other many times. (This mainly refers to the torpedo Qin Miao after Zhou Guanyu was caught in a panic)
But this is indeed the first time the two sides have competed in reality.
It is undeniable that both of them admit that the other is their best friend in the paddock, but in this kind of competition between friends, neither of them wants to admit defeat.
Because after defeating the other party, you will be able to show off in front of the other party more naturally in the future life, and the other party cannot refute.
…
"Good morning, viewers, and welcome to the first stop of the 2020 Formula One Grand Prix, the Austrian post race: the F2 main race live broadcast brought to you by Five Star Sports. I am Brother Bing."
"I'm Brother Fei."
"I'm Zhou Haoran."
After the opening remarks, the three commentators brought the topic to the point:
Brother Bing concluded: "After yesterday's fierce competition in the qualifying stage, driver Zhou Guanyu from Shanghai, China, won the pole position, while driver Qin Miao from Hunan, China ranked second with a gap of 0.18 seconds."
Fei Ge: "Because of the excellent performance of the two Chinese drivers, a new history was created in yesterday's qualifying session. It was the first time that two Chinese drivers won pole position and... The second place also broke the record of a Chinese driver finishing second in qualifying for the first time on the F2 track, a breakthrough from zero to one."
Fei Ge added: "It is something that has never happened in the entire history of F2 for two Chinese drivers to appear in the F2 field at the same time. So from this moment on, any achievements achieved by Qin Miao and Zhou Guanyu are of great significance to us. They are all new records.”
Zhou Haoran said: "And the most exciting thing is that both Chinese drivers have shown strong dominance on the field. We can now look forward to the two Chinese drivers winning the championship in the F2 competition, and even have more ideas." If you are bold, you can also expect that the two of them will one day enter a higher level of racing.”
…
After the opening remarks, the three hosts talked about the two drivers on the field and their private relationship.
After that, the director showed the camera to the arena.
At this time, one of the five red lights on the track had gone out, leaving only four red lights still on.
The fact that only four red lights were on actually reminded the team's staff to evacuate the track as soon as possible because the race was about to begin.
So after the four red lights came on, Sui Wentao reached out and shook Qin Miao's hand, then said: "The game is about to start, we have to withdraw, I wish you a good start."
Qin Miao nodded: "Okay."
During the time when the staff were evacuating, there were only three red lights left. At this time, apart from the FIA staff, there were only a few team members left on the track making final preparations.
Soon the three red lights turned into two, and after the two red lights appeared, the drivers on the field started the engines of their F2 cars.
The roar of 22 engines echoed throughout the venue.
At this time, all team members had gradually withdrawn from the track, leaving only the official FIA staff and Matthew wearing an FIA vest standing on both sides of the track to confirm the conditions of the car and track.
As the last two red lights went out one after another, Matthew was the only one left on the entire track.
At this time, Qin Miao could no longer feel any nervous emotions. After sitting in the racing car, Qin Miao was the same as countless times before. His emotions were calmed down, his brain was emptied, and only the thoughts about Knowledge of racing.
It was as if he was born to eat this bowl of rice.
The yellow flag waved at the rear, and the red light turned green at five stops.
Zhou Guanyu and Qin Miao, who were at the front, drove out of their starting grid immediately, and the warm-up lap of the race began...
During the warm-up lap, Qin Miao also wore the tires as much as possible so that his tires would have sufficient grip at the start of the race.
Today's weather temperature is relatively high and the track temperature is also good, so Qin Miao's wear is not that serious. After all, he started using soft tires at the beginning to test how many laps his soft tires can run in the current environment. .
It can also be regarded as a preview for tomorrow's sprint race. Although the team's calculation is based on Qin Miao's tire wear, a set of soft tires can run the entire 28-lap sprint race, but Qin Miao still wants to race against the actual situation. Test the degradation of this set of soft tires.
Soon the tire warm-up lap was over, and Zhou Guanyu and Qin Miao parked on the grid.
Qin Miao's parking this time was not perfect. There was still about 10 centimeters between the tire and the white line.
However, the impact of this distance on the next start is not too great.
Qin Miao had practiced starting during the practice match, so he was familiar with the next operation.
When the F2 cars in the back row enter the grid and the safety car stops at the end of the team, the F2 race is about to begin.
Soon, the race steward at the back of the team waved the green flag in his hand, and the five red lights lit up one after another.
