How Did I Become an F1 Driver?-Chapter 793 - 320: Dawn of Victory
So after Qin Miao discovered the car failure, they immediately started analyzing and diagnosing the problem.
The results were mixed.
Apparently, Qin Miao overused the car's battery twice, and the interval between these two instances was not long. The cumulative effect of these factors caused an issue with the car's charging circuit.
However, the good news is that the internal combustion engine can still be used. If Qin Miao wants to, he can continue racing; the only difference is the lack of power from the electric motor.
Since he wouldn't have to retire due to engine failure, Qin Miao naturally saw no reason to forfeit the championship.
Let's turn our focus back to the racetrack.
Despite Hamilton's current speed, which was nerve-wracking for Qin Miao and all his supporters, the distance from the DRS starting point to the finish line was really too short.
If this was just a normal lap, Qin Miao would certainly be overtaken by Hamilton before the braking point at T1.
If, before the DRS detection point at T22, Hamilton caught Qin Miao's slipstream, then Hamilton stood a good chance of overtaking Qin Miao.
But luckily, none of these happened, and this was already the final lap.
Despite Hamilton having pulled abreast on Qin Miao's inside line at the final dash,
Qin Miao still crossed the finish line first.
After crossing the finish line, Qin Miao still felt a bit anxious because, from his vantage point, he couldn't see Hamilton's exact position behind his left rear.
What he could see at that moment were the brilliant fireworks blooming on both sides of the track after crossing the line.
At that instant, Qin Miao wondered if these fireworks were for him or for Hamilton.
Soon, almost at the moment of crossing the line, Frankie's somewhat hysterical voice came through the team radio to Qin Miao's ears: "P1! Qin Miao! We are P1! You did so well in this race, really so well! We got another championship!"
Upon hearing Frankie's words, Qin Miao breathed a sigh of relief.
It seemed the fireworks were indeed for him.
In this race, Qin Miao put his heart and mind into it, calculated everything thoroughly, even burnt a battery, but fortunately, it was not all in vain. He achieved a result that satisfied both him and the team.
And after that sigh of relief, Qin Miao paused slightly, then a wave of overwhelming joy surged through him. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢
In these recent races, Qin Miao indeed felt like he was walking on thin ice. Any mistake in a single race could cost him his lead in the standings.
But now, he finally found a suitable opportunity, and after four races, Qin Miao once again clinched a race victory.
This also means that in next week's Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, Qin Miao only needs to finish in the top three, and for the 2021 season, in his first season in F1, he can win the drivers' championship!
However, after being happy for a while, Qin Miao forced himself to calm down, because this season isn't over yet. Until the final race is completed, anything can happen.
After all, before the start of this race, no one expected Hamilton and Verstappen to fight tooth and nail on the track, right?
Moreover, through these few races, Mercedes clearly noticed that FIA was deliberately suppressing the Mercedes team. They might feel that the Mercedes team's reign in the paddock has been too long, subtly assisting Verstappen and the Red Bull team.
So in tomorrow's race, Qin Miao needs to face not only his teammate Hamilton but also Red Bull and the FIA's intentional targeting within the rules.
One could only say, the revolution has yet to succeed, and comrades must still strive hard.
