How Did I Become an F1 Driver?

Upon thinking of this, Qin Miao frowned.

It seems like doing this isn’t entirely impossible...

However, Qin Miao was just contemplating it. Intentionally crashing into others on the racetrack doesn’t have a clear penalty rule because everyone is there to compete, not play bumper cars.

After all, under normal circumstances, no one would deliberately crash into others on the track.

Therefore, directly torpedoing Verstappen for the sake of the world championship would indeed be somewhat unscrupulous.

Besides, even without torpedoing Verstappen, as long as Qin Miao finishes where he is, he can still win the second world championship of his career; there’s no need to go that far.

Although Hamilton was feeling somewhat dissatisfied at this moment, with his tires not in the best condition, he could only watch as Verstappen pulled away.

Under the watchful eyes of the two Mercedes drivers, Verstappen pulled off a one-two pass.

In Red Bull’s team radio, Verstappen couldn’t hold back his excitement and exclaimed, "Let’s fucking go!"

Usually, Verstappen isn’t the type of driver to clearly express his excitement on team radio; it’s safe to say his emotions aren’t particularly outwardly obvious.

But in today’s race, after surpassing Hamilton and Qin Miao, Verstappen’s excitement was unmistakable.

In the team radio, Verstappen’s race engineer also offered encouragement and congratulations for his overtaking move, "Well done, Max, a beautiful overtake."

Meanwhile, at the Five-Star Sports Studio in Shanghai, the three commentators, after seeing Verstappen’s double overtake, could only shake their heads and say, "There’s really no good strategy against this; Verstappen’s speed advantage with the soft tires is just too great."

"Indeed, Verstappen has been somewhat too lucky in this race."

"Of course, we must also congratulate Verstappen. After making such a bold decision, the goddess of fate rewarded his bravery, with the safety car giving him the opportunity to compete for the race victory." At this point, a smile appeared on Bing’s face, "Nonetheless, we must still congratulate our Chinese driver Qin Miao, as after this race, Qin Miao has once again created a milestone in Chinese racing history! The second world championship, and the only double world champion in Chinese racing history!"

The commentators seemed to forget what had just happened, starting to praise Qin Miao again.

Many loyal Five-Star Sports viewers, upon hearing the direct praise from the commentators, had a bad feeling in their hearts, and many began cursing outright.

But you can’t entirely blame the three Five-Star Sports commentators for their candidness, having been F1 commentators for so long, seeing a Chinese driver achieve such results was genuinely thrilling to the point of losing composure.

Meanwhile, on the track, although Qin Miao knew that even finishing second would earn him the world championship, the feeling of winning the championship by finishing second wasn’t as happy as winning it by finishing first.

He couldn’t help but feel a little down.

Just as Qin Miao was feeling frustrated, he suddenly noticed that Hamilton had been following closely behind him for over half a lap, and he couldn’t shake him off the DRS zone.

Qin Miao quickly checked, finding that there were no issues with his car, with all components functioning normally.

Qin Miao soon realized that Hamilton had some ideas about his position!

What audacity!!

Damn, why are these people so serious on the track?

Despite his complaints, having lost the race victory, Qin Miao naturally couldn’t afford to let go of his second place.

Moreover, after realizing that his car had no serious issues, Qin Miao guessed that the reason Hamilton’s car was so fast was that he had conserved a lot of energy during Verstappen’s attack, relying solely on his DRS and blocking for defense.

Now with wings spread and battery full, he seemed ready to attempt an attack on this lap.

So Qin Miao had to begin his own defense.

But defending against Hamilton, Qin Miao wasn’t under much psychological pressure.

Verstappen was so much faster on that single lap, Qin Miao honestly had no better strategy than just watching him pull away.

But don’t you have any sense, Hamilton, about the state of your tires? Even if your tires have better durability than mine, as long as our time gap isn’t more than 0.7 seconds, it’s still easy for me to defend against you.

At the same time, as Qin Miao prepared to teach his teammate a lesson, in the Mercedes team radio, on a single communication line with Hamilton, Hamilton was discussing this attack with his race engineer Bono.

"Lewis, we can give Qin Miao a team order to let you pass, so you can score more points and catch up to Perez ahead of you. We have a big chance of taking fourth place in the championship this season."

But upon hearing this, Hamilton didn’t even think twice before saying, "I don’t need it, and you can’t give Qin Miao that team order. It’s not fair."
