"Qin Miao! Qin Miao!" A person of the same age who seemed to be about the same age as Qin Miao came to Qin Miao nervously after seeing Qin Miao, and then asked with excitement on his face: "Can I get married with you?" Shadow?"
At the same time, several of his companions looked at Qin Miao expectantly, obviously wanting to ask Qin Miao for an autograph or a photo.
Qin Miao is considered a celebrity after all. In his daily life, he also encounters many people watching F1 who ask for his autograph.
But those people were just surprised to meet an F1 driver by chance on the road and asked for an autograph. They were not considered fans of Qin Miao.
After all, Qin Miao is only famous in F2. He has just entered F1 and it is difficult for him to have fans except domestic fans.
To be honest, this is the first time Qin Miao has met his fans offline.
Judging from their fluent Chinese and considering the current environment, it is no surprise that these two are international students from China.
After all, under the current situation, basically no parents will allow their children to go abroad.
"Of course, but you also know the current situation. Is it okay if we take pictures a little further apart?" Qin Miao didn't let them get too close. He stood not far behind them and asked them to take a selfie in a misaligned position. .
Of course, meeting fans must be more than just taking photos. After taking the photos, the other party handed Qin Miao a poster and a marker, asking Qin Miao to sign the poster.
Qin Miao naturally had no reason to refuse. He took the poster they handed over and prepared to sign it.
But when Qin Miao saw the picture on the poster clearly, he was stunned.
Because the poster shows a driver standing in the rain with his hands on his hips. Next to the driver is an F2 car that has sunk into the gravel. Other F2 cars can be seen flying past him on the track.
Between the silence and the movement, the rider standing in the rain had an inexplicable sense of desolation and tragedy.
The first thing that comes to anyone's mind after seeing this poster are words like regret and pity.
Coupled with the raindrops hitting the car body and the racing car, it is a beautiful picture of "The Loneliness of the Loser"
But if you have watched this F2 game, you will know that this person who looked so lonely was the F2 championship that season. He opened up 330 points from the second place and won the championship with an unprecedented winning streak. He was so powerful. What a mess.
This was the only time he made a mistake this season and ran off the track.
Also because of Qin Miao's horrific record this season, this mistake seems to have a certain special significance.
Of course, this is just what outsiders think. They think this mistake ruined Qin Miao's winning streak, which is a pity.
But Qin Miao actually didn't care.
However, after seeing this picture, Qin Miao couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. After all, to a certain extent, this was his own dark history.
That mistake really shouldn't have happened, I was too anxious.
Because of this, the foreign student who was still pretty and pretty in Qin Miao's eyes now became hateful.
And Qin Miao's dumbfounded look naturally fell into the eyes of these Qin Miao fans without reservation. As fans, after seeing Qin Miao's dumbfounded expression, they will naturally be very happy and feel that it is well worth it. OK.
After all, after meeting their favorite driver offline, most fans actually want nothing more than to say a few words to the driver, make a harmless joke, ask for an autograph and take a photo, etc. After experiencing all of these , already considered satisfied.
After all, I specially prepared this poster just to show off in front of Qin Miao, to see what kind of expression Qin Miao would have after seeing his dark history, and then to record Qin Miao's expression and post it online to show off. Show off.
Although she felt dumbfounded, Qin Miao still picked up a pen and signed her name on the poster.
Naturally, the language is also in Chinese.
After signing three posters and signing their names on a fan's hat, these little fans were all satisfied.
Qin Miao returned everything to them and said: "It's not safe outside now. Go back as soon as you get the signature. Don't talk about it everywhere, otherwise it will be even more unsafe when crowds gather."
Those people naturally nodded in agreement with happy faces.
After finishing the business, Qin Miao waved to them and turned around to enter the paddock.
And these fans watched helplessly as Qin Miao gradually disappeared from their sight outside the turnstile.
Moreover, they held up their mobile phones to record the whole process, obviously planning to use these videos to show off after the meeting was over.
Qin Miao has no unnecessary emotions about this. Since entering F2, Qin Miao has often had to face the camera and has long been accustomed to the feeling of living under the camera.
After Qin Miao left their sight, several young fans were still immersed in the excitement of seeing Qin Miao, and Qin Miao chatted with them for a while.
After walking into the paddock, Barber frowned and said: "The situation is still not optimistic. In fact, after meeting fans, the right thing to do is to stay away from them, rather than indulging them and giving them autographs."
Qin Miao had no way to explain to Barber that she would never fall into the trap. However, because Qin Miao also knew that what Barber said was from the perspective of his position, Qin Miao did not blame him for meddling in other people's business. He just spread his hands and said, "Okay, okay, I'll pay attention next time."
…
Qin Miao came to the door of Mercedes' team home. Many Mercedes staff greeted Qin Miao warmly after seeing him.
Feeling the changes in people's attitudes towards him, Qin Miao was filled with emotion.
This was not the case in Bahrain. Although the staff of the Mercedes-Benz team would take the initiative to greet him at that time, at that time they were more curious about Qin Miao and their own self-cultivation requirements.
But now they were much more sincere when greeting Qin Miao, and Qin Miao could see their recognition of him in their eyes.
Entering the team home, today is not a working day after all. Although there are people here, these staff are doing preliminary work and equipment maintenance. To put it simply, some staff from the logistics department are ensuring that the equipment will not be used during the following Grand Prix weekend. Something went wrong.
Qin Miao did not bother them, but went into his lounge and changed his clothes.
When Qin Miao went downstairs, he happened to see Hamilton and Angela walking in from the entrance.
"Good afternoon." After seeing the other party, Qin Miao said hello from a distance.
"Are you here so early?" Hamilton came over and shook hands with Qin Miao with a smile, then smiled and hugged each other.
Qin Miao smiled and said: "To be honest, after Imola, I fell in love with the feeling of standing on the highest podium and letting everyone listen to me singing the national anthem. In order to let you listen to it a few more times, I think I should work hard." ”
"Indeed, that feeling is very special and can easily become addictive." Hamilton smiled and nodded, but soon changed the topic and said: "But if I am here, you will not have the chance to stand in that position in the future. It would be too much.”
The relationship between the two of them is already very good now, so they can afford to joke like this, and no one will think twice about saying such things.
Qin Miao rolled his eyes: "There is an old saying in our country that the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead. I believe that one day it will happen."
Naturally, Hamilton didn't know the meaning behind Qin Miao's words, and China's five thousand years of cultural heritage is not that easy to understand. Even Chinese people who grew up in China can't understand the meaning behind some words. .
"Let's stop chatting here. I won't disturb you anymore. I'm going to walk around the track for two laps to get familiar with it. This is my first time at the Portimão track." Qin Miao waved his hand and prepared to leave.
But Hamilton stopped Qin Miao and said: "Wait for me for a while, we will go together. I will also go up to see if the track has been repaired. At the same time, if you have any questions about this track, I can also give you some advice." Your certain guidance.”
Naturally, he was extremely happy to follow Qin Miao with a seven-time champion by his side who could help him answer questions at any time. After waiting for five or six minutes in the rest area downstairs of the team home, Hamilton changed out of a set of clothes he was wearing and changed into I wore a short-sleeved T-shirt on the Mercedes team and wore a hat to protect myself from the sun.
"Let's go."
The two walked into the track through the tunnel in the pit area.
The Portimão circuit was temporarily added to the calendar last year due to insufficient number of tracks. Even Hamilton has only run one race on this track, so he followed Qin Miao this time. I also want to deepen my understanding of this track.
After getting on the track, Qin Miao walked to the traffic lane, squatted down and buckled the asphalt on the track's traffic line, and felt the roughness of the asphalt surface with his fingers.
It is obviously old asphalt that has been used for a long time. This asphalt is quite friendly to tires.
Seeing Qin Miao's movements, Hamilton also squatted down next to Qin Miao.
"This asphalt is obviously old asphalt, and this track has been in operation for a long time. But when I watched last year's race video, why did I see that the regular pit stop strategy for this track is two stops?" Qin Miao picked up a piece that fell off and put it on the the bits of asphalt on the side of the track asked Hamilton.
Hamilton explained: “This track has many curves, most of which are medium and high-speed curves, so the wear on the tires is very large. Even if the asphalt is relatively friendly to the tires, the two tires on the left side of the car consume at a high rate. "
Qin Miao also knew about this, after all, this was how the simulator gave him feedback, but at the time Qin Miao naively thought it was a problem with the asphalt on the track, but now it seems that is not the case.
After getting up, Qin Miao threw away the asphalt block in his hand and continued walking along the starting route of the track.
…
The Portimão circuit is relatively short compared to other circuits, so Qin Miao and Hamilton walked together for a lap. On the road, they joked with each other from time to time and squatted down to carefully observe the road shoulders or the grip of the paint on the road shoulders. The situation was that when we returned to the maintenance area again, it was already more than an hour later.
During this period, Qin Miao also saw other drivers taking the track here, such as Latifi Perez.
However, they are all drivers leading their own teams, unlike Qin Miao and Hamilton, where the two Mercedes drivers walked together, with only two physical trainers following behind them.
After walking through the track, Qin Miao was ready to return to the team's home to study the information he had just recorded on the track.
However, Hamilton stopped Qin Miao who was about to return to the team home, and then under Qin Miao's gaze, Hamilton pushed out two black scooters from the P room of the car.
It's the kind of two-wheeled scooter Qin Miao usually rides when commuting between home and factory.
This thing accelerates hard and has a long range, and it doesn't take up much space. However, the top speed is a bit slow, but for a short-distance commuting vehicle, the slow top speed is not a particularly fatal shortcoming.
It is naturally not difficult for a bicycle with a range of 30 kilometers to run a lap on the track. Hamilton mainly wanted Qin Miao to experience the driving lines of the track in advance and the bumpy conditions of the track while driving. At the same time, Hamilton can also tell Qin Miao where the grip is weak in the car.
The pair spent 20 minutes riding their scooters around.
After the two got off the track, their work for the day was basically over.
Hamilton first rode to find Angela, while Qin Miao was going to go directly back to the team home, because Barber was waiting for him there.
And Qin Miao had just rode into the P room of the Mercedes team, and when he passed through the P room and entered the staff passage behind the P room, Qin Miao saw Novo wearing McLaren's iconic yellow team uniform. Reese.
When the new season just started, Norris was under a lot of pressure. After all, his new teammate Ricciardo was strong, had a solid fan base, and had won 6 race championships.
Although Norris himself has been at McLaren for three years, he has never won a race championship. In front of such a powerful teammate, Norris is actually under a lot of pressure.
Because everyone knows that in F1, your biggest enemy is always your teammates.
But after two games, the pressure on Norris suddenly disappeared, because he defeated his teammates in both games.
Whether Norris is more adaptable to McLaren's car than Ricciardo, or for other reasons, everyone can see after these two races that Norris is stronger than Ricciardo.
So Norris seemed very relaxed at this moment, and his whole spirit was in good condition.
When he saw Qin Miao, he even went up to Qin Miao to stop him.
"Qin! Wait!"
After he stopped Qin Miao, he looked at Qin Miao's scooter as if it were a big toy and asked curiously: "Where did you get this thing? It feels very interesting. Lend me some for fun." (End of chapter)
