At this time, Toto had already stood up from his position, with his hands ready to go. It was not difficult to see from the expression on his face that he was in a good mood at this time.
The last two Mercedes crossed the finish line of the Circuit de Catalunya one after another, and the fireworks that had been arranged on both sides of the track burst out together with the cars.
These fireworks were set off not only for Hamilton, the winner of this race, but also for Qin Miao, who took second place from Verstappen.
In this game, Mercedes brought home one or two, which was considered a great victory.
After the two cars crossed the line, Toto raised his hands in the air and shouted loudly like other Mercedes-Benz staff, and then began to nod and applaud the two drivers' performance today.
After watching Toto, the live camera came to the two Mercedes drivers.
At this time, Hamilton also slowed down the pace of his car, lowered his speed and lined up with Qin Miao's car, and the two began to swim together.
At the same time, the two people did not forget to wave and greet the few spectators present.
During this process, the two naturally communicated with the team's engineers in the team's TR.
"Hahaha, great job Qin Miao, your performance today is really great!" Franky was not stingy with his compliments at this time.
It’s not that Franky didn’t say this before, mainly because Qin Miao won the championship every day in F2. It was normal to win two championships in one game without any pressure at all. Franky was tired of saying congratulations. , Qin Miao was also tired of hearing this.
But F1 is obviously different. Whether it is the preparation before the game, the difficulty of the game, or the quality of the opponents, there has been a terrifying improvement.
Although the final ranking was only one place earlier than expected, Qin Miao also experienced countless difficulties and obstacles in the process, so whether it was Qin Miao, Franky or Qin Miao and the crew of the team, Everyone knows that this second place is hard-won.
"Thank you, phew, this race was indeed difficult and thrilling, but fortunately, we survived. Thank you for preparing the car for me. It is very comfortable to drive and the training is also very comfortable. Thank you..."
But just as Qin Miao finished speaking, an accident suddenly occurred on the track.
Qin Miao's car had a tire, and the right rear wheel where he had collided with Verstappen suddenly exploded with a pop.
Although there were no debris flying around, the entire tire hub of the right rear wheel was exposed, and the tattered tire skin was tossed around by the hub.
In fact, before the tire burst, Qin Miao felt that the condition of his right rear wheel was not good.
This feeling was almost the same as when he just crossed the line. Qin Miao didn't pay much attention to it at that time. After all, the game would be over soon, and even if there were any problems, it would be impossible for him to not be able to return to the pit area.
But the fact is that Qin Miao's tires really can't support him back to the pit area.
Although after seeing Qin Miao's tire suddenly burst while he was doing his return lap, both the three domestic commentators and the Mercedes staff felt a little trembling in their hearts.
But when they realized that the game was over, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
And I'm a little lucky that the tire didn't burst until after the end of the race. If it had burst again two laps before the end of the race...
After thinking of this scene, everyone shuddered and didn't dare to think about it...
After Qin Miao found out that he had a puncture, he quickly took his hand back, then controlled his car and reduced the speed.
In fact, F1 cars can also be driven with three tires. After all, Hamilton was able to win the championship in the UK even after he had a puncture last year.
But the race was over after all. After discovering that Qin Miao's tire had a puncture, the team quickly asked: "Qin Miao, are you okay? Are there any other problems with the car?"
After Qin Miao stabilized the car, he replied: "There is no other problem, it's just that the rear wheel of the car burst. It should have been caused by the collision between Verstappen and I."
Franky said: "OK, Qin Miao, you don't need to bring the car back. Driving it back will easily damage the floor and rear suspension of the car, so you can find a place to park the car now and come back in the safety car."
Although Mercedes has a lot of money, the floor of the F1 car is not cheap at all. A floor starts at 80W US dollars, and it also has rear suspension. If Qin Miao is forced to drive the car back, these things may be worn out. At that time, the loss may exceed 1 million US dollars.
Regarding the team's instructions, Qin Miao took matters into his own hands: "Okay, received."
Fortunately, Qin Miao and Hamilton had just driven their cars to the T3 position at this moment, so the way back to the pit area was not too far.
So under the yellow flag waved by Matthew at the scene, Qin Miao stopped his car to the edge of the right track after exiting the T3 corner.
On the one hand, this place is not the lane where the car exits the corner, so parking here is less likely to be hit by other cars. On the other hand, there is a Matthew entrance here. Parking the car here will make it easier for Matthew to handle his car.
However, Qin Miao had just gotten off the car and was about to go to the lawn of the track to wait for his car to be picked up. Hamilton's car stopped in front of Qin Miao's car.
Qin Miao didn't understand what Hamilton wanted to do for a while, but Hamilton stopped in front of him, so Qin Miao walked over curiously.
When Qin Miao opened his helmet goggles and leaned over, he heard Hamilton's vague voice: "Are you okay?"
Qin Miao answered in a loud voice: "No problem, don't worry."
We have no choice but to shout at the top of our lungs, otherwise no one will be able to hear what the other is saying.
After all, the headphones in the ears of both riders have sound isolation and noise reduction functions.
Otherwise, if you sit in front of the noisy F1 engine without ear protection, your ears would have been deafened.
But at this time, Qin Miao suddenly noticed the flank on the right side of Hamilton's car.
Mercedes' W12 has no sidepods, and the whole body looks like a beer bottle. But what a coincidence, the W12 racing car has two huge wings on both sides, and these two wings look like stools.
The key is that the side wings of the Mercedes-Benz racing car are still connected to the side boxes of the racing car, and the solidity is sufficiently guaranteed.
The moment he saw this thing, Qin Miao's mind recalled the countless old-timers taking a ride after the game.
After seeing the pictures of the seniors, Qin Miao suddenly had an immature idea in his mind.
Young people basically do things without considering the consequences, so while everyone was stunned, Qin Miao held the side of Hamilton's flip-flop, and then sat down on the wing of Hamilton's car.
When the car reaches 260 kilometers per hour, the pressure on it exceeds 100 kilograms. A 65 kilogram person sitting in Qin Miao will not feel any pressure at all, and there is no risk of breaking.
After the race, the directors had nothing to show to the audience. It happened that Qin Miao's car had a puncture on the side of the track, so the director showed the camera to the two Mercedes drivers to see what they were doing. What was talked about.
According to the director's understanding, the next step was for Qin Miao and Hamilton to part ways after chatting. Qin Miao walked into the Matthew's tunnel beside the track, then took the car back to the pit area to receive the award, while Hamilton drove back.
Until Qin Miao returns by car, the director will focus the camera on Qin Miao.
Therefore, all the spectators who were watching this game were stunned to see that Qin Miao ignored the Matthews who were waiting for Qin Miao by the Matthew channel and sat down on the flank of his teammate's car.
"Huh? Qin Miao? This is..." The three commentators from Five Star Sports were also stunned when they saw Qin Miao's actions.
Then he asked with some stammering and uncertainty: "Are you going to give me a ride?"
"Impossible, you will be punished for taking a ride now."
…
Hamilton was stunned for a moment when he noticed that his right rearview mirror had gone dark. He turned around and saw that Qin Miao was sitting on his car and adjusting his sitting posture.
After seeing this scene that he had never dreamed of, Hamilton was stunned for two seconds, and then he was a little anxious and prepared to push Qin Miao down. Just kidding, the FIA now has regulations that you will be punished for hitching a ride on the track. Punished.
There is nothing wrong with a fine. I believe that the sponsors of the Mercedes-Benz team would not mind helping Qin Miao pay this money. Even if the contract does not allow it, they would like to give Qin Miao some bonuses and let him do this after every game, but Why, after taking a ride on F1 on the track, you will be punished in the next race.
But looking at Qin Miao's appearance, he had no idea that the FIA had such a rule.
As for whether Qin Miao would not care about this rule, Hamilton had not considered it, because in his impression Qin Miao was not a person who would flout the rules.
Therefore, after ruling out the possibility of Qin Miao provoking the competition, this is the only possibility left.
But something embarrassing happened at this time. Hamilton's body was fixed by the seat belt and he couldn't reach out with his right hand. He couldn't reach Qin Miao with his left hand.
He couldn't touch Qin Miao at all, let alone push him out.
Qin Miao couldn't hear the shout because the engine was too noisy. Qin Miao could hear Hamilton's voice just now simply because he was close to Hamilton's helmet.
While Hamilton was worrying alone, Qin Miao also sat down on the wing, grabbed the handle of the flip-flop with his left hand, stepped on the connecting rod connected to the tire with his left foot, and stepped on the floor with his right foot. You still Not to mention, this angle is quite stable.
After fixing his body, Qin Miao stretched out his right hand and patted Hamilton's helmet to indicate that he could leave.
Feeling his helmet being slapped twice by Qin Miao, Hamilton felt helpless.
Toto's voice also came from the TR: "Tell Qin Miao to stop making trouble and get down!"
But what can Hamilton do? You can't hear it when you shout, you can't reach it when you reach out.
Through the live broadcast, everyone could see that Hamilton's helmet tilted back obviously, probably because he was angry with Qin Miao.
Seeing that Hamilton didn't move, Qin Miao thought it was because the opponent didn't feel it, so he patted Hamilton's helmet hard again.
Feeling the vibration from his helmet, Hamilton simply stepped on the accelerator. Since you don't want to get off, there's nothing more to say. Just go. It doesn't matter if you and I are the ones who will be fined anyway.
When Hamilton's car actually started to move, the fans at the scene burst into violent cheers.
It is hard to imagine that fans whose number is less than 1/10 of the usual number of fans can burst into cheers of this level. Even Qin Miao, who was wearing soundproof headphones while sitting in the car, could hear the cheers erupting in the bleachers behind him. .
Turning around and waving in the direction where they were, Qin Miao found a position in the car to secure himself, sat on the side panel of No. 44 W12 and started his F1 ride-along journey.
The audience at the scene almost went crazy after seeing this scene. The tickets for this game were worth the risk.
And if nothing else goes wrong, this may be the last ride in the F1 arena. After all, no rookie driver is like Qin Miao who is not afraid of penalty and insists on taking the car, and his teammates dare to pull him away directly.
As soon as Hamilton started, the on-site director switched the camera to a Matthew next to the track.
This Matthew ran out of the Matthew channel when Qin Miao was sitting on Hamilton's car, obviously trying to pull Qin Miao off the car.
But when he almost reached the side of Hamilton's car, Hamilton drove away, leaving him standing alone and bewildered as he watched Hamilton drive Qin Miao away.
The director happened to film this scene. Matthew was standing next to the track, with an indescribable sense of desolation exuding from his body.
Inexplicably very happy.
At this time, the director did not want to miss the scene between Qin Miao and Hamilton.
As Qin Miao and Hamilton returned to the pit lane, the director's camera never left Qin Miao and Hamilton.
During this process, the English stream commentators went crazy, the live audience went crazy, the fans watching the live broadcast went crazy, and the three commentators from Five Star Sports went completely crazy.
People are like this sometimes. They dare not break the rules themselves, but if someone breaks the rules, then they will regard this person as a god.
Qin Miao was that god at this time.
Everyone who paid attention to this game was watching him and sincerely praised him.
When Qin Miao returned to the pit area, everyone applauded Qin Miao and Hamilton except the FIA officials who had a straight face.
Of course, there are levels of happiness. After seeing Qin Miao's outrageous operation, the happiest person was not a fan of Qin Miao or an F1 fan, but the sponsors of Qin Miao and Mercedes-Benz.
In this wave of return laps, the on-site director did not show footage of other drivers, and everyone's attention was entirely on Qin Miao and Hamilton.
The exposure of the sponsor's advertisements has increased sharply, and they are almost smiling.
Qin Miao and Hamilton had just parked their cars. When Qin Miao came down to celebrate with his team's staff, the director cut the camera to Toto.
The picture at this time was not a live broadcast, but a picture of Toto when Qin Miao got into Hamilton's car just now.
I saw Toto talking about something with his earphones on just now, and then he touched his forehead with a painful hand as if he saw something, then took off his earphones and sighed helplessly.
Toto's ecstasy from Mercedes' first and second Mercedes, to Qin Miao's shock when a tire blew out on the track, Qin Miao's confusion when chatting with Hamilton, and then Qin Miao's involvement in the collapse of Hamilton's car.
The Oscar winner had to give him a thumbs-up when he saw Toto's performance.
