How Did I Become an F1 Driver?-Chapter 637 - 273: Mercedes W13
There are rewards for winning and penalties for losing.
Although it was under the guise of charity, all the proceeds from this livestream would be donated to those in need.
However, in reality, Qin Miao and the other two would still receive a hefty commission credited to their accounts.
The number of participants in this event wasn't large; with Qin Miao and his two friends, there were only 10 people in total.
To Qin Miao, it was just a recreational event, a diversion after heavy training, except this time his diversion was done in public view.
So when the event officially started, Qin Miao didn't take the race too seriously.
Although Qin Miao started in first position, during the event, aside from defending against Leclerc who was behind him, intentionally not letting him pass, he would typically let other streamers who passed Leclerc to attack him, defending symbolically for two laps before deliberately leaving an opening for them to overtake, then refocusing on defending against Leclerc.
And the first person to overtake Qin Miao was Norris.
Afterwards, those streamers overtook Qin Miao one after another; because they all knew Qin Miao's defensive skills were incredibly strong and terrifying, they were overjoyed when they managed to pass him.
They wished they could engrave this overtake as a QR code on their tombstones. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎
Qin Miao's defense against Leclerc lasted for more than 20 laps, and note that there were only 35 laps in the race.
And Leclerc didn't overtake Qin Miao using in-game skills.
Leclerc relied on verbal threats: "The next time I see you, Qin Miao, I'll punch you in the face! I'll rip your helmet off!"
Under Leclerc's threats, Qin Miao finally had no choice but to let him pass.
In the end, the event concluded successfully, and it's worth mentioning that although Norris had overtaken Qin Miao earlier, he did not end up winning the championship.
Norris faltered at the very last moment.
At that moment, Norris was defending against a streamer. Despite this being just a fun event, Norris's desire for victory was still strong.
So when he was defending against this streamer, his level of seriousness was almost on par with Qin Miao's defense against Leclerc behind him.
And while Norris was battling with the streamer behind him, he made a braking error, as most of his attention was on the streamer's car behind him, causing him to slightly miss his braking point.
Plus, he was on the inside line when braking, and his car uncontrollably shot off the track.
Sochi is a street circuit, and the track's buffer zone is inherently small, so when Norris shot off the track, he directly crashed into the wall.
Even though this was a game and not a simulator, Norris's car wasn't wrecked due to his mistake.
But by the time Norris returned to the track, he had lost his leading position.
But as mentioned earlier, this was just a game; after making the mistake, Norris instead relaxed, and in the final laps, he deliberately slowed down to get in front of Leclerc and started defending him once more.
Leclerc had just managed to overtake Qin Miao in front and was gearing up to catch up. But here comes a McLaren right in front of him again.
What the heck is wrong with you two!
As for Leclerc cursing on the TS, let's leave that aside for now. After this stage ended, Qin Miao, Leclerc, and Norris all had to face penalties according to the rules.
