The first lap was quickly completed, and Qin Miao achieved the fastest lap ti in the current F3 category, 1:08:201.
As Qin Miao finished the first lap, Lubos’s voice ca through the TR: "1:08:201, you’re now in first place, exactly three seconds faster than the driver in second!"
Lubos’s voice trembled at the end.
In the past, when Lubos was not yet mature, he had no idea of Qin Miao’s talent.
Thus, for the Ferrari Driver Academy arranging for him to work with Qin Miao, Lubos just treated it as an ordinary job.
However, as ti spent with Qin Miao increased, Lubos discovered that Qin Miao was truly hardworking, the kind who would drag others to do extra practice voluntarily.
Although such people are rare to see, they are not scarce worldwide, so Lawson at this mont could only admire Qin Miao a bit.
When Qin Miao beca a simulator test driver for the Ferrari F1 team, Lubos realized that Qin Miao’s talent and his perseverance were equally terrifying.
But at that ti, Lubos only had a premonition that Qin Miao was really strong; he knew Qin Miao was strong, but he didn’t know how strong Qin Miao actually was.
And this qualifying performance completely let Lubos understand the depths of Qin Miao and made him excited to have clung to Qin Miao’s "big leg".
This speed, though not the ultimate pace that F3 cars can achieve on this track, was definitely not slow. Moreover, in this lap, Qin Miao did not press towards the extre as he did in the second test yesterday to lay down an effective lap ti, so the results weren’t as fast as during practice.
After finishing this lap, Qin Miao directly returned to the pits to change tires.
Just after finishing that lap, Qin Miao felt that his state was pretty good today, and prepared to push to the extre in the next two laps.
Although the old red tires on Qin Miao’s car at this point wouldn’t have a significant loss of speed even if he ran two more laps, it’s a qualifying race after all. In Qin Miao’s view, even a millisecond is worth changing to a new set of red tires to strive for.
During the ti when Qin Miao was changing tires, the drivers on the track also began to exert themselves.
However, the result Qin Miao achieved in the previous lap pressed like a mountain on everyone’s heads, and during this period, no driver on the track made a ti faster than Qin Miao.
Finding a gap to co out from the pit, Qin Miao promptly completed his second flying lap.
In this flying lap, Qin Miao pushed the car to the limit without reservation, repeatedly oscillating between control and near loss of control.
From the TR, Qin Miao learned that his first flying lap ti was still over a second ahead of second place.
Upon receiving this news, Qin Miao knew that the ti from his first flying lap could potentially secure pole position directly, or at worst, start from the first two rows.
After receiving this news, Qin Miao felt assured, and began to devote all his effort to the lap ti from the second lap onward.
Then, Qin Miao’s all-out effort lap ti in the second lap was: 1:07:701.
The brand new tires, coupled with Qin Miao striving for the limit in every corner, resulted in zero errors during the flying lap, yielding a terrifying speed that was a complete 0.5 seconds faster than the first flying lap.
Qin Miao did not know that his ti had already shattered the fastest ti for F3 cars on this track.
At this mont, Qin Miao’s acquaintance, Fini, the head of the F3 division at Prema Racing Team, was also sitting in the stands watching his race.
Watching the leader board where Qin Miao’s na followed by the fastest lap ti was displayed, Fini grinned almost to his ears.
Originally, when Qin Miao practiced at Prema Racing Team in Britain, Fini knew Qin Miao’s talent was terrifying. Now after four months, Fini noticed that Qin Miao back then was not a fleeting success, and upon seeing Qin again, Fini discovered to his delight that Qin Miao’s strength had shown a very marked increase in these short four months.
Not to ntion, putting soone of Qin Miao’s ability in F3 was akin to a dinsional reduction attack; he estimated that after recruiting Qin Miao, Qin Miao might be able to race for even only a season in F3.
But no matter how it is, Qin Miao would have to race in F3 for a year before going to F2, right?
Hence, Fini was already eager to catch up with Lawson after the qualifying race to talk, and then use his personal relationship with Qin Miao to invite him for a al to discuss cooperation and the possibility of joining Prema Racing Team’s F3 division.
Another genius and an F3 team championship for his team, even though this genius experience card could only be used for one year, enjoying it for a year is still worthwhile. Thinking about Qin Miao joining his team and driving the team’s car while sweeping everyone on the track, Fini was already thrilled just imagining it.
While Fini was envisioning his bright future, soone sat down in the empty seat next to him.
As a worker, Fini was relatively familiar with his boss’s build and aura, so after noticing soone had sat next to him, Fini glanced obliquely and felt that the figure was quite familiar.
Turning his head to look, Fini was first shocked, followed by so fear when he discovered that the person sitting beside him was his imdiate superior, Rene Rosin, the team principal of Prema Racing.
(Note: The English translation is Roxin, unified in the subsequent text)
"Hi, Roxin, I never thought I would encounter you here," Fini quickly stood up to greet his boss as a subordinate.
Roxin nodded with a smile and said, "It’s hard work for you to co over on a hot day to scout the young talents."
Fini replied, "It’s my duty, sothing I should do."
"Have you discovered any talented drivers?" Roxin asked while looking at the electronic screen not far from their grandstand, focusing on the rankings and drivers’ nas on the screen.
In fact, Fini was sowhat reluctant to let Roxin realize Qin Miao’s terrifying talent too early, because once Roxin knew there was such a genius like Qin Miao, he might directly take Qin Miao to F2.
If that really happens, then Qin Miao would no longer have anything to do with him.
But ultimately, this is his imdiate superior, even if he doesn’t explain Qin Miao’s strength to him right now, with Qin Miao’s ability, Roxin could see the extraordinary talent during the race himself.
Moreover, Fini was determined to secure Qin Miao; missing out on a driver of Qin Miao’s caliber was absolutely not an option. When the ti cos, a top-tier F3 driver contract will certainly be handed to Qin Miao.
Such a high-level contract would surely be handled by Roxin as team principal; he would have to provide an explanation eventually.
So after a brief, almost imperceptible consideration, Fini honestly said, "I’m quite optimistic about a Chinese driver. You might have an impression of him; he used our F3 car for practice recently, and his training results were quite good, with notable progress in driving skills."
"I have an impression of him." Roxin replied with a look of realization, "After reviewing his data back then, I wanted to sign him, but at that ti he was already preparing to train in Maranello after signing up with the Ferrari youth academy. Moreover, our F3 team’s spots were filled, and those kids perford well too, so the thought of signing him was shelved."
Fini hurriedly said, "At that ti, I actually considered him too, thinking after the season to bring him to the F3 team for a year. I guarantee, as long as he cos to my place, we will definitely win a team championship next season."
Seeing Fini’s sowhat urgent manner, Roxin nodded with a slight smile: "I agree with you; if this Chinese racer joins our F3 team, it will definitely bring another team championship for us in a short period."
Fini promptly nodded to agree with his leader’s words, but before he could lightly wipe the sweat off his forehead, Roxin abruptly changed direction: "But I think with his current performance, coming directly to isn’t impossible."
Fini: ???
