Under the dual buff, Leclerc's nerves have always been tense.
Actually, Leclerc's multiple retirents at his ho race are not without trace.
Apart from luck, it's also because Leclerc cares too much about this race.
Leclerc indeed has the strength, there's no doubt about it.
However, compared to top drivers like Qin Miao, Hamilton, and Verstappen, Leclerc's personality is sowhat impatient.
When defending opponents and having an advantage, Leclerc ntally relaxes a bit, making his defense very stable. Even the master of defense, Qin Miao, recognized in the paddock, would give a thumbs-up upon seeing Leclerc's defense and sincerely say: Leclerc's defense is flawless!
But when chasing behind opponents, Leclerc tends to make so unforced errors due to his impatient nature.
This kind of personality and mindset easily puts Leclerc in an embarrassing situation on the track, where the more he wants sothing, the easier it is for him to lose it.
So, despite Qin Miao hoping that nothing unexpected happens to Leclerc in this week's Monaco Grand Prix, and that he finishes the race normally.
Qin Miao still has a feeling that Leclerc might retire from this race.
After finishing Thursday's track walk, Qin Miao completed all his filming tasks, and back at the team ho, he pulled Frankie and Reyes to discuss the characteristics of the Monte Carlo circuit, beginning to analyze which tuning thod could extract more speed given the specific characteristics of his car this season.
After all, the rcedes team's simulator has already declared GG, and for a while, simulator data can only serve as a reference.
The simulator data adjustnts won't be ready until the Australian Grand Prix in June.
The rcedes team's preparations are estimated to be in this state during this ti.
Qin Miao was so busy that he only left the paddock past ten at night.
Fortunately, Qin Miao's house is not far from the paddock, only a fifteen-minute drive away, shorter than the travel ti from the paddock to the hotel during so Grand Prix races.
Saturday, the day for practice sessions one and two.
Upon arriving at the paddock, Qin Miao noticed that even for practice sessions, attendance this year was significantly higher than in previous years.
Without dwelling on the reasons, Qin Miao spent more ti and attention on familiarizing with the track and collecting data during today's two practice sessions.
anwhile, this week rcedes fitted the car with a high-drag rear wing and front nose wing.
This aerodynamics kit was prepared by the team before the start of the season.
Strictly speaking, this was the first ti it was used, and its exact effect could only be known on the track.
Moreover, at the Monte Carlo circuit, the car's top speed performance can't be maximized, so it was better to trade horsepower for downforce, at least this way the car's cornering downforce and chanical downforce would be stronger.
With the start of the first practice, Qin Miao quickly discovered so good news. The dolphin jump phenonon at the rear of the car, originally due to excessive rear downforce, was clearly alleviated with the addition of the high-drag aerodynamics kit, and the car's cornering and handling improved with the kit's aid.
Of course, this only suggests that the rcedes car might be more suited for the Monte Carlo circuit compared to other tracks.
After all, the Monte Carlo circuit doesn't have long enough straights to trigger W13's dolphin jump.
And maybe Red Bull and Ferrari are the sa?
Thus, Qin Miao continued his normal Friday duties, albeit with more attention to detail than usual Grand Prix races.
