The three commentators were just halfway through their explanation when their mood suddenly changed, because the position where Leclerc crashed was on the traffic lane, and the clock had stopped at this time, and the other drivers who had not completed their last flying lap were all lined up behind Leclerc. .
So even though Leclerc crashed on his final lap, he retained pole position.
Soon, the yellow flag turned into a red flag. After all, there was really no way to deal with the position where Leclerc parked.
The impact of Leclerc's crash went beyond that. First of all, no one except Qin Miao made an effective flying lap in the final period of Q3.
In other words, at this time, except for Qin Miao, everyone's results are within the guaranteed circle at the beginning of Q3.
And everyone’s lap times are not fast.
Q3 of qualifying ended immediately after the red flag came out.
The final rankings of qualifying are as follows:
P1: Leclerc
P2: Qin Miao
P3: Verstappen
P4: Sainz
P5: Norris
P6: Gasly
P7: Hamilton
P8: Vettel
P9: Perez
P10: Giovinazzi
P11: Aokang
P12: Ricardo
P13: Stroll
P14: Kimi
P15: Russell
P16: Tsunoda
P17: Alonso
P18: Latifi
P19: Ma Zeping
P20: Mick
Due to the penalty, Qin Miao will eventually start in the twelfth position, behind Ricciardo and in front of Stroll.
But regardless of these things, Qin Miao still needs to be interviewed after the qualifying round. Apart from anything else, he did get second place in the qualifying stage of this game.
We all know that there will be a period of free time before the post-race interview, and during this free time at the Monte Carlo track, the director usually likes to insert some high-speed camera footage of how close the drivers' tires are to the guardrail when passing T15. .
And Qin Miao's picture was the first to be released.
In the picture, the right front end plate of Qin Miao's racing car was completely grazing the guard wall. Through the slow-motion playback, you can clearly see that Qin Miao's right front end plate vibrated obviously after turning. This is what happened after grazing the guard rail. Performance.
Naturally, the three commentators did not hesitate to give their compliments. There was no way around it. The only top driver in the country was Qin Miao. If he didn't praise him, there would be no one else to praise him.
And if you look at the book next to them, they can't even boast about Kadoda. They can only say something sarcastic on the Internet that Qin Miao is just a better car.
After Qin Miao's scene was shown, the director switched the scene to Qin Miao's car parked at the entrance to the maintenance area, and the camera focused on the right front end panel of Qin Miao's car.
You can clearly see a scratch on the outside of the wind-breaking wing on Qin Miao's right front end panel, which shows how extreme Qin Miao's turn was.
If Qin Miao's cornering angle had been 0.1° higher, he would have ended up like Leclerc.
Of course, the consequence of Qin Miao's extreme performance was that the front nose was completely scrapped, and the team had to replace it with a new front nose during the race.
There’s not much to say in the post-match interview and the post-match press conference after the interview.
The drivers explain their thoughts and actions on the track, what the team has done, and their preparations for tomorrow's race.
The only interesting thing is that this is Qin Miao's first start in the midstream group since entering F1. Everyone is curious about how Qin Miao will perform on such a track where it is difficult to overtake.
In the afternoon, the press conference ended and Qin Miao returned to the hotel to rest.
However, Qin Miao, who knew that he would face a serious challenge tomorrow, still opened the collection of overtaking races in Monaco in recent years. These were all prepared by the team for Qin Miao.
Qin Miao fell asleep after watching it for more than two hours.
Early the next morning, Qin Miao got up, briefly exercised to wake up his body's nerves, and then went to the track early.
There was no shortage of pre-match activities and fan meetings. After all, 40% of the spectators were allowed in this Monaco Grand Prix, so there was no shortage of normal procedures.
However, after the pre-race activities were over, Qin Miao went to the entrance of the track at Qiu Meng's request.
An F2 race is taking place at this time. Normally, outsiders are not allowed to enter the pit area at this time, but Qin Miao is an F1 driver after all, so he does not need any proof. Qin Miao can enter the paddock by simply swiping his face.
Qiu Meng was blowing on the air conditioner in the VIP area above the Mercedes team and watching the live broadcast, while Qin Miao was on the phone with Qiu Meng while walking towards the podium.
At this time, the F2 race was not over yet. Qin Miao asked in confusion: "What is going on? Can't you explain it clearly on the phone?"
Qiu Meng's voice was a little playful: "Oh, don't ask so many questions, just wait at the entrance to the maintenance area.
Hey hey hey, I see you. "
Qin Miao raised his head and waved to Meiben's VIP area, where Qiu Meng was looking at Qin Miao with a smile on his face.
"Okay, go and wait, I'm hanging up."
Qin Miao nodded and put away his phone, then walked towards the entrance of the maintenance area.
Then Qin Miao was stopped by Prema's old teammates on the road.
Luo Xin is still so fat and wears black-rimmed glasses.
Others haven't changed much this year.
People at Prema were visibly happy after seeing Qin Miao. Although it was a pity that Qin Miao failed to play for Ferrari in the end, Qin Miao contributed countless games to Prema, which may be boring to other viewers, but for Prema An extremely exciting game for the staff and fans.
Therefore, everyone at Prema is very grateful to Qin Miao.
At the same time, I am also happy that Qin Miao can gain a firm foothold in F1 and rise rapidly.
But after all, it was a special period, so the old friends did not hug each other after meeting, but only fist bumped with everyone.
"Hahaha, Qin Miao, I'm really happy to see you."
Qin Miao also nodded and said: "Me too, how is the team doing lately?"
Rosin shrugged: "Without you, the team will naturally lose its dominance over all other competitors, but fortunately, the team can operate normally and is ready to compete for the annual championship again."
Qin Miao didn't know what to say at this time, but Luo Xin began to comfort Qin Miao: "In F2, you also started in the middle group in the sprint race. I believe you, all of us. I believe that even if the circuit in Monaco is difficult, you will still be able to do it.”
Qin Miao smiled and couldn't help but think of the days when he and Luo Xin and others were studying the training settings and celebrating after the competition when he was still in F2. At that time, he was careless and in a completely open state. Relying on the talents given by the system, you squander your youth wantonly.
Although it was a bit wasteful, looking back now it was actually quite nice.
After chatting with Luo Xin for a few more words and saying hello to the other people in Prema, Qin Miao separated from them.
The parking area of the Prema team is not far from the entrance of the track. Qin Miao took two steps to reach the podium of the track.
The place was already surrounded by people, ready to welcome the three riders who finished in the top three.
It was only then that Qin Miao noticed that the person at the top of the F2 broadcast was actually Zhou Guanyu.
Now Qin Miao knew why Qiu Meng wanted to come and wait by herself.
Qin Miao's appearance will naturally attract the camera of the on-site director.
F2 races don't attract much attention, and there are only so many things that can be photographed at the Monaco track before the race is over.
F1 will not be able to contribute more than 10 overtaking scenes in a race on this track, let alone F2 with standard cars.
Now that Qin Miao had appeared, he was naturally shown the scene by the on-site director immediately.
And we filmed it for a long time.
Qin Miao didn't care. He and the staff of Zhou Guanyu's team had also met, so they specially reserved a place for Qin Miao while waiting for Zhou Guanyu to cross the line.
While waiting, Qin Miao took out her cell phone and started chatting with Qiu Meng on WeChat.
Mainly, Qiu Meng was asking Qin Miao if the birthday gift she had prepared for Zhou Guanyu was ready. After all, there were only a few days until the end of the month.
Qin Miao expressed confidently that he would definitely like the gift he prepared for Zhou Guanyu.
Three minutes later, the small audience at the scene set off waves of cheers. When Qin Miao turned around and looked over, he saw that Zhou Guanyu had crossed the line and won the Monaco F2 race championship.
To be honest, Qin Miao really envied Zhou Guanyu. After all, he had never seen what Monaco's championship trophy looked like, not even the runner-up trophy.
Because F2 has never raced in Monaco in 20 years.
In today's Monaco Grand Prix, he started 12th, so he couldn't count on himself to get on the podium. What the team is counting on now is whether Qin Miao can help the team get as many points as possible.
Speaking of which, everything went wrong for the Mercedes-Benz team in this game.
No. 2 driver Qin Miao missed the pole position by four thousandths of a second.
Forget it, Qin Miao was still punished ten places in the previous game due to illegal operation.
Driver No. 1 did not complete the last flying lap and ended up in seventh place. Thanks to driver No. 2, he could start from sixth place.
Toto was not very happy in this race. Yesterday, Hamilton and Qin Miao did not enter the top three on the grid, which almost made him suffer from brain congestion.
Although I didn’t smash the headphones, I didn’t stop saying F**k, almost catching up with the English teacher Steiner.
At that time, Toto felt a little regretful. Why didn't he let the FIA give him a lighter penalty when he negotiated with the FIA? Why the hell is the child so ignorant that he can't even sit and play?
Of course, no matter what, the matter has become an established fact now, and it is useless to fight for it. After all, the FIA announcement has been issued.
You can't change it overnight, right?
On the track side, Zhou Guanyu soon drove the car back.
After getting off the car, the guy stood in the car and celebrated for a while.
Then I saw Qin Miao standing on the sidelines with a happy father's face after watching his son get good results.
Zhou Guanyu didn't pay attention to the rude expression on Qin Miao's face. He jumped out of the car with a smile and came to Qin Miao.
He didn't celebrate with his crew members but gave Qin Miao a hug.
"Awesome, Lao Zhou." Qin Miao patted Zhou Guanyu's helmet hard and praised: "You have the same demeanor as I did in F2."
Perhaps in a literal sense, Qin Miao's words are suspected of being pretentious, but when you think about Qin Miao's performance in F2 and look at Qin Miao's words, his words can really be regarded as a compliment.
However, as a bad friend, Zhou Guanyu still punched Qin Miao angrily: "I just thought you were complimenting me."
After all, there were other team members who needed to celebrate together, so after a brief chat with Qin Miao, Zhou Guanyu went to find others to celebrate.
Qin Miao stayed under the podium until the F2 awards were over.
It feels pretty good to be able to listen to the national anthem being played on the F2 podium below.
At least it shows that Qin Miao was not without the company of friends when he took this road.
The second place in today's F2 race is Drugovic, whom Qin Miao knows, and the third place is a newcomer who just joined this season.
Looking at Zhou Guanyu's teammate Dlugovic, Qin Miao couldn't help but start to wonder whether he would recall the fear of being dominated by himself last season when he was standing on the podium and listening to the national anthem of our country.
However, Qin Miao's thoughts were quickly interrupted. As the award ceremony ended and champagne started to be sprayed, Qin Miao was slapped in the face by Zhou Guanyu.
Fortunately, there was a hat blocking it, so it didn't get into the eyes.
After all, it was impossible for Qin Miao to get along with Zhou Guanyu normally in front of the camera, throwing his shoe at Zhou Guanyu as soon as he dragged it off.
But after being scolded, Qin Miao couldn't help but curse.
In short, Qin Miao is quite happy to see Zhou Guanyu still performing brilliantly in F2.
However, Qin Miao still had things to do. There was a driver parade before the start of the game. Now his clothes were wet again, so Qin Miao had to go back and change his clothes.
After Zhou Guanyu came down and greeted him, Qin Miao went back to change clothes.
After that comes the riders parade.
To be honest, this was Qin Miao's first time experiencing a driver parade, and it really felt like parading in the streets.
The specific process is that when the time is up, all the drivers will gather at the entrance of the track, and then there will be a truck waiting for the drivers there.
When the time is up, the riders will board their trucks and start parading through the streets.
During this process, the drivers will also be interviewed, but the main purpose is to allow the fans at the scene to see the drivers more clearly. The interviews can only be said to be incidental.
In their spare time, other riders can chat with their friends.
Qin Miao naturally joined Leclerc and Norris.
The relationship between Qin Miao and Hamilton is indeed good, but the two actually don't have much in common in their daily lives.
After all, there is such a big age difference between the two of them and they grew up in completely different environments, so it is normal for them to be different in these aspects.
Because the two have different habits and values in daily life, they talk more about racing when they are together.
But Leclerc and Norris are different. After all, they are all of the same age. They can also meet up to play games during the breaks when they are not competing. Naturally, there will be more topics to talk about at this time, and Leclerc is still playing at home. By following him, you can also get a lot of shots and attention from fans at the scene.
The subsequent process will not be described in detail. (End of chapter)
