How Did I Become an F1 Driver?-Chapter 770 - 314: Small Gathering

Norris and Leclerc usually don't have much leisure time, but after a triple-header, the drivers must be given a day off. So, strictly speaking, today was their rest day, and they naturally played to their heart's content.

As an F1 driver, the same goes for Qin Miao.

Zhou Guanyu is different from them. He will officially join the F1 family next season, so at this moment, he feels both the excitement of entering a new world and era, and a sense of fear and apprehension facing unknown strong competitors, along with anxiety about whether he can handle the current position.

Even though he has driven the simulator developed by Alfa Romeo at their base, to be honest, Zhou Guanyu feels that the simulator is just usable. In terms of graphics performance, Alfa Romeo's simulator is not as good as EA's F12021 game.

Speaking of F12021, there's an extremely interesting statistic worth mentioning,

Research shows that in the career mode of the F12021 game, Chinese players most like to choose Mercedes as their team.

However, domestic players prefer not to team up with Qin Miao; 68% choose to team up with Hamilton.

One doesn't know what they are thinking.

In short, Zhou Guanyu somewhat disliked Alfa Romeo's simulator.

He felt that it couldn't significantly improve his skills.

Upon learning that Qin Miao's home had a simulator and offered a guest mode, Zhou Guanyu wanted to try it out to see how it felt driving it.

Zhou Guanyu directly enlisted Qin Miao while others rested. During this time, Zhou was running the simulator, asking Qin Miao to watch from the side and help identify any areas he wasn't performing well in, possibly giving advice and guidance if possible.

The normal guest mode can only serve as a high-level simulation game, but if you really want to receive guiding suggestions after completing a lap and improve driving habits like Zhou Guanyu requested, you need to switch to the normal driver mode.

Only in this mode can the system collect more data and make evaluations based on it.

Around four in the afternoon, Norris and Leclerc also got a bit tired of playing intensely for a while and planned to relax on the balcony.

Leclerc twitched the corner of his mouth because he saw the telescope placed on Qin Miao's balcony.

Just then, Zhou Guanyu started exploring the simulator on his own, and Qin Miao came out of the room to get some air.

Qin Miao never imagined before that teaching someone to drive a race car could be such a painful experience.

Because things that, in Qin Miao's view, required no thought and were simply a matter of braking a little through a corner, Zhou Guanyu actually asked about the optimal speed for that corner, how to find the angle, and the best time to make the turn.

What's optimal speed? What's the cornering angle?

Qin Miao was dumbfounded upon hearing this. Isn't it okay to just turn when the vehicle is at its limit? Why consider what the optimal speed is?

Therefore, Qin Miao had to find ways to translate his usual cornering feel into specific numbers for Zhou Guanyu to learn and understand.

This was an incredibly painful task for Qin Miao.

However, as soon as Qin Miao walked out of the room, Leclerc immediately called him over.

He went to Leclerc with a bit of confusion: "What's up?"

"Did you really put a telescope on the balcony?" Leclerc asked with a face full of disbelief.

Qin Miao, thinking of the telescope, shrugged and said, "Would you believe me if I said it wasn't me who put it there?"

Leclerc: "Look into my eyes."

Qin Miao scratched his head and replied, "Really, it wasn't me; Qimeng did it. Although you can indeed see your home from here, I swear, I've never used that telescope." 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

"Huh?" Norris, who was enjoying the conversation from the side, immediately showed interest: "You can see Leclerc's house from here?"

"Qin Miao, point me in the direction, let me take a look. I never imagined, with your strong eyebrows and big eyes, you'd have a hobby like this."

Qin Miao reluctantly covered his face.

At this moment, Qin Miao really felt the urge to call Qimeng over to question why she put a telescope on the balcony, but Qimeng was working in the bedroom.

Qin Miao didn't want to disturb her.

"You might not believe me, but I kept this telescope to watch the sea and other races held in Monaco," Qin Miao started to defend himself.

"Wow, I can see my house, but it's just an exterior wall." Norris said.

Feeling irresistible curiosity, Leclerc also came over, and the two started playing with the telescope.

They naturally stopped dwelling on why Qin Miao had that telescope at home.

Then Leclerc looked somewhat plaintively at Qin Miao; from Qin Miao's home angle, you could even see the dining table at Leclerc's house.

The afternoon passed just like that, and by five in the afternoon, everyone went out.

Qin Miao had rented a yacht yesterday afternoon for two days, and they planned to have fun out at sea that night, with dinner also to be on the yacht.

If it were a summer evening, Qin Miao and his group might walk to the pier.
