So although Qin Miao endured the fact that she was forced to give up overtaking by Drugovich and was even kicked off the track.
However, in Qin Miao's TR, Qin Miao's cordial greetings still rang out. Qin Miao basically greeted his family members one by one according to Drugovich's genealogy, fully demonstrating the cultural heritage of our country of etiquette.
Because Qin Miao spoke in English, no curse words were used throughout the process.
Franky, who was in the TR, heard Qin Miao's strange behavior and thought there was something wrong with his TR.
The person on the other end of the radio looked nothing like the proud Qin Miao he knew. Instead, he looked like a frustrated child who was about to lose his beloved toy.
In this regard, it was true that he was frustrated because he could not surpass Drugovich, but more importantly, it was because the raindrops on the track had begun to gradually become denser at this time, and there was also water on the track, which made Qin Miao a little anxious.
Finally, at the end of the seventeenth lap.
The rain became heavier.
Qin Miao and Drugovic in the front pitted for tire changes at the same time under the instructions of the team.
The tire changers of the two drivers did not have any problems while working. When the two came out after changing the tires, their positions remained unchanged. Instead, Qin Miao relied on the extreme braking before entering the pit area to get closer to the front. A little bit of Drugovich.
And just after the two came out of the maintenance area, Qin Miao seized the opportunity and stuck closely behind Drugovic.
Even if the water mist raised by Drugovich's racing car wetted the lenses of Qin Miao's racing goggles, Qin Miao still relied on his familiarity with the track and the reference objects he saw in his peripheral vision to determine his position at this time.
Followed the other party all the way to T7.
After this corner, there are two high-speed corners, T8 and T9.
As long as T7 exits the corner smoothly, Qin Miao can overtake in the next two corners by relying on faster relative speed and the wake of the car in front.
However, what surprised Qin Miao was that when he came out of T6, Drugovich, who had been defending him without making any mistakes for almost 4 laps, lost the grip of the rear wheel when exiting the corner.
The ultimate counter-attack was enough to save him.
Seeing this scene, Qin Miao smiled slightly in his heart: Hehe, you are young. The tire temperature has not even come up just after leaving the pit area. It is strange that you go so far without slipping.
Although the car was rescued, Drugovich also lost a lot of speed because of this and was directly chased by Qin Miao.
Qin Miao seized this opportunity and completed wheel-to-wheel cornering with Drugovich when entering T7.
You must know that Qin Miao is taking the outside line, and even when entering the corner, Qin Miao still has a certain body advantage. If Drugovic does not leave enough body position for Qin Miao at this time, as he did in previous defenses, he will again If Qin Miao squeezes out, he will definitely be punished by the FIA.
So Qin Miao knew that he was definitely able to overtake this time, and he couldn't help but feel relieved.
Just when Qin Miao had just relaxed a little, he suddenly felt his steering wheel lighten, and the steering wheel that originally required a huge amount of force to stabilize suddenly lost all feedback.
What follows is that the G force of the car suddenly disappears.
Almost instantly, Qin Miao realized what had happened, and the rear wheel grip of his car was gone.
Qin Miao immediately responded by pumping gas to save the car.
But because there was water on the ground, after Qin Miao lost the grip of the rear wheel, he also lost the grip of the front wheel. Without entering the pendulum, Qin Miao's entire car slid directly sideways off the track.
Like Drugovich, Qin Miao's racing tires did not reach the appropriate operating temperature.
Fortunately, Qin Miao's speed was not very fast at this time, and he was slipping sideways, so Qin Miao just slid the whole car into the gravel.
Before the car stopped in the gravel, Qin Miao couldn't wait to step on the accelerator, trying to get her car out before it completely sank into the gravel.
At this time, the race had only lasted eighteen laps, and he had a chance to compete for the podium.
However, no matter how hard Qin Miao tried, his car remained motionless when he stepped on the accelerator, and it sank directly into the gravel.
After realizing what happened, Qin Miao's heart skipped a beat: "It's over, my championship is gone..."
Before Qin Miao could make any more moves, the yellow flag began to wave on the side of the track, and Franky's calm voice came from Qin Miao's TR: 'Are you okay? Are there any injuries? '
Qin Miao felt very strange in her heart at this time. There was regret when she made a low-level mistake that she shouldn't have made, and there was also a sense of relief after the pressure on her body was suddenly relieved. It was an extremely complicated feeling.
Faced with Franky's question, Qin Miao said: "I'm fine..."
Although he wanted to suppress the feeling of loss and regret in his heart that he missed the championship, Qin Miao still couldn't hold it back. While hammering his steering wheel, he cursed: "Fuck..."
Qin Miao's punch hit the Ferrari prancing horse icon on his steering wheel.
…
It can be said that Zhou Guanyu witnessed the whole fight between Qin Miao and Dlugovic. He also knew that it was not Dlugovic’s fault that Qin Miao lost grip and ran off the track this time, but Qin Miao’s own fuel supply. He was anxious, and Qin Miao did not rescue the car in time when the rear wheel grip was lost. By the time Qin Miao reacted and fought back, it was already too late, and the grip of both tires was lost.
The car plunged straight into the gravel.
To be honest, Zhou Guanyu felt that this level of mistakes really shouldn't happen to a genius like Qin Miao.
Although Zhou Guanyu regretted his friend's mistake, he did not forget his own job, and his eyes were fixed on Dlugovic in front of him.
Damn it, it was you who made the mistake for Qin Miao, right? I respect you for being a man, but the championship of today’s sprint race must once again fall on the Chinese.
We Chinese dominate F2 this season! It won’t work for anyone, I, Zhou Guanyu, said it!
And because of Qin Miao's mistake, the car could not move, and the track was right next to the track. For safety reasons, the race meeting dispatched a safety car.
After the director replayed the scene of Qin Miao rushing out of the track several times, the camera showed Qin Miao who had already come out of the car.
Qin Miao did not leave the track, but stayed in the rain with his car.
Because Qin Miao's helmet was not taken off and the helmet's goggles were closed, even though there was a photographer on the sidelines with a camera pointing at Qin Miao's head, he could not see Qin Miao's eyes at this time.
However, this picture of Qin Miao wearing a helmet akimbo and standing in the rain watching other F2 cars go away was recorded with a camera, and it became the favorite photo of many Qin Miao fans when they came to Qin Miao for autographs.
But these are all things for later.
Qin Miao had been helping Matthew and the crane to tow his car away from the track before leaving the track. During this period, Qin Miao also checked the chassis of his car.
Carbon fiber is indeed very light and strong enough, but after rushing directly into the sand and gravel, there were still a lot of stones that left scratches and potholes on Qin Miao's racing chassis.
There was even a hole in the floor.
Although these damages can be repaired, the aerodynamic effect and weight balance after repair are definitely much weaker than before.
In addition, Qin Miao can't afford a new blade, so if nothing unexpected happens, Qin Miao will ask the team's technician to replace him with a new blade after he returns.
On the track, Qin Miao's car was pulled away after the safety car was used for two laps.
The game is about to start again.
For Zhou Guanyu, the bad news is that the sprint race has already gone on for twenty laps, and there is only one lap left before the end of the race. The good news is that he has already arrived behind Drugovic under the safety car. The gap of more than 4 seconds between the two has been wiped out. If done correctly, he can complete the decisive victory over Drewgovic in the last lap.
At this time, Qin Miao had already found a motorcycle at the exit of the paddock and asked Matthew to pull him into the paddock.
Even the director didn't show the footage of the game on the paddock, but instead focused a lot of footage on Qin Miao.
Qin Miao is also the only driver who has F1 treatment in the F2 paddock, mainly because Qin Miao's personal ability is really terrifying.
However, Qin Miao convinced the commentators in the paddock in several games, but his opponents, and even the on-site broadcasters, just failed to impress Ferrari's top management.
However, the director only showed the audience the scene of Qin Miao riding back in the car, and then put the camera on the playing field.
At this time, the safety car has been withdrawn, and Drugovic is suppressing the speed of the car formation.
Zhou Guanyu, on the other hand, was staring at the rear of Drewgovic's car. Zhou Guanyu had never been as focused as at this moment. He even felt that the whole world had slowed down, and only the taillights of Drewgovic's car in front of him were in his field of vision. .
Finally, when T17 exited the corner, Drugovic suddenly applied the gas, and the speed of the vehicle soared.
Zhou Guanyu's reaction speed was no slower than that of Drugovich, and the time difference between the two when they stepped on the accelerator was only about 0.1 seconds.
The most terrible thing is that because Zhou Guanyu was too close to the driver, Drewgovic was under a lot of pressure, so when entering T18 and exiting the corner, Drewgovic gave more fuel.
Zhou Guanyu faced a better environment than Qin Miao at this time, because there was a straight road behind him, and he had enough time to heat up his tires.
Although there is no DRS, he made no mistakes when exiting corners, and has faster relative speed and wake than Drugovich.
Therefore, in the middle of the straight of the start, Zhou Guanyu completed the wheel-to-wheel drive against Drugovich, and when entering T1, Zhou Guanyu completed the tap on Drugovich.
Zhou Guanyu, who had the right of way, was naturally the tough one at this time and did not leave any room for Drugovic to turn.
Drugovich could clearly see that Zhou Guanyu had already completed the tap on him before entering the corner, so facing Zhou Guanyu's tough defense, Drugovich could only reluctantly give up the track lane.
In fact, Drugovich was also quite unlucky. Under the pressure of Qin Miao, he nervously led more than 2/3 of the game.
The whole game was highly tense and tense. Rather than running a race, it was more like playing "Escape".
Finally, during the defensive process under great pressure, when Qin Miao made a mistake, I thought I could breathe a sigh of relief and enjoy the joy of winning the championship. The safety car came out, and then Zhou Guanyu took the baton from Qin Miao and started. Put pressure on Drugovic.
Then it became like this. After guarding for a long time, I still couldn't keep the championship.
The competition even stated that his several defenses against Qin Miao will be investigated and he may face the danger of being punished at any time. In the end, he may not even be able to keep the podium position.
After one lap, Zhou Guanyu crossed the finish line in the rain.
Zhou Guanyu's performance in this game, which started in seventh place, was not bad. He followed Qin Miao all the way to third place, and then beat Drugovic in the last lap to take first place.
Zhou Guanyu didn't feel sorry for Qin Miao's mistake. Anyway, Qin Miao had many champions, and he was not short of these one or two.
Zhou Guanyu just wants to enjoy the joy after winning the championship.
While Zhou Guanyu was receiving the award, Qin Miao also returned to the team's P room. His car would be sent directly to the Prema team's temporary P room by Matthew, so there was no need to transport it back through the pit channel.
If nothing goes wrong, Qin Miao's car is already going through the loading process at this time. Even if the floor needs to be replaced, it will only be done after returning to the team headquarters in Vicenza.
After all, the spare parts I bought are all stored there.
After returning to the pit area, Qin Miao does not need to weigh himself. The purpose of weighing is to ensure that the driver's weight reaches the standard and the validity of the results.
And what about Qin Miao? He didn't even finish the race, so what else does he need to confirm if he has no results?
Qin Miao went directly back to the P room of his motorcade.
When Luo Xin saw Qin Miao's mistake, he knew he had to take action. After calling Qin Miao to his side, Luo Xin began to reason with Qin Miao and comfort Qin Miao.
After all, after working as a team leader for so many years, Rosin still has his own understanding of how to deal with young drivers.
On the other side, after Zhou Guanyu received the award, the ranking and scoring situation of this game were also released.
Zhou Guanyu +15
Drugovich +12
Longgard +10
Deretraz +8
Daruvala +6
Ma Zeping +4
Tiktum+2
Panasonic +1
Because the fastest lap was in the hands of Qin Miao, and he did not finish the race, the two points for the fastest lap in this game were invalid.
With this sprint championship, Zhou Guanyu has completely secured his second place in F2. At the same time, Qin Miao and himself have set a record, that is, starting from the first race of this season, all the points winners have won the championship. It is the record of the Chinese driver that has also been extended.
So far this season, only Zhou Guanyu and Qin Miao have stood on the highest podium of F2. This is the best opportunity for domestic fans to boost their self-confidence.
Although the domestic people in this period have passed the point where they would be so happy that they would take off right away if they were given a few compliments by foreigners.
Most people can treat foreigners with a normal attitude, and some people have even begun to dislike Brother Ni who appears in China.
But watching Zhou Guanyu and Qin Miao control the thunder and lightning in the F2 arena, domestic fans are still quite proud.
After all, after all these years, talented drivers in the racing industry have finally appeared in China, and there are two of them.
Also because of the influence of Qin Miao and Zhou Guanyu, F2's domestic audience even caught up with F1 for a time.
There are also more and more people in China who like racing. This may be the power of idols.
