In Binotto’s view, Sainz is not a suitable piece for the championship puzzle.
He could have brought two top-tier talented drivers to Ferrari... Unfortunately, after Qin Miao’s mistake, everything became irreparable.
Thinking about this, Binotto suddenly felt a bit lost. Without the internal political struggle, Ferrari might have been able to compete for that top podium belonging to the team after the next major rule changes.
The next day, in the afternoon, today marks the start of the F2 main race. Get full chapters from Nov3lFɪre.ɴet
As usual, Qin Miao arrived at the paddock.
Although Qin Miao’s schedule hadn’t changed, he noticed that as he passed the pit area, many people dressed casually but wearing staff badges were quietly observing him in some inconspicuous corners.
He was quite puzzled about why these people were looking at him as if he were a rare animal.
Qin Miao deliberately made eye contact with some of these people, hoping that his gaze would cause them to look away.
But for some reason, these people did not avoid his gaze and simply stared back at Qin Miao.
This made Qin Miao admit defeat first.
Though filled with confusion, after racing for such a long time, Qin Miao gradually became accustomed to being watched.
So, after deliberately ignoring these people’s presence, Qin Miao arrived at his team’s location.
With the race about to start, he needed to prepare beforehand.
Of course, considering Qin Miao’s current personal ability is almost on par with those top F1 drivers, a single sentence is enough for most people to predict the final standings of today’s main race.
There’s no rain today.
And when Qin Miao finished changing into his racing suit and arrived on the track, he realized it wasn’t just on the way to the pit area that people were observing him; there were also many people on the grandstand above the pit area watching him.
Seeing the cameras and notebooks in their hands, Qin Miao vaguely guessed their identities. These people were likely sent by other teams to evaluate him to see if joining their team was a possibility.
However, Qin Miao wasn’t sure which specific teams these people belonged to, as they didn’t have any identifying marks on them.
Moreover, Qin Miao felt as if they intentionally wanted him to know he was being observed, with no intention of hiding their motives.
He shook his head to clear his thoughts and refocused, managing to stay centered in this environment and keep all his attention on the race, a skill Qin Miao still possessed.
There’s not much to say about the race process later; as mentioned before, there’s no rain, so it’s Qin Miao’s domain.
Qin Miao used one set of soft tires and one set of hard tires. The soft tires lasted eighteen laps before they showed obvious degradation, and when he pitted to change tires and returned to the track, the drivers on hard tires who hadn’t pitted were still over seven seconds behind him.
Qin Miao used this set of hard tires until the end of the race.
According to Qin Miao’s team members, post-race, Qin Miao’s set of hard tires, with Qin’s tire-saving ability, is entirely enough for him to complete tomorrow’s entire sprint race.
It really highlights frugality.
In any case, Qin Miao once again converted pole position into victory.
At the post-race press interview stage, the reporters were somewhat unsure of what specific questions to ask Qin Miao.
After normally going through the procedures, Qin Miao returned to the team with champagne and the trophy.
Zhou Guanyu’s qualifying performance was acceptable, being in fifth place, but he made an old mistake, didn’t start well, and dropped to eleventh, losing six places.
It wasn’t easy for him to fight his way back up to ninth place.
