How Did I Become an F1 Driver?-Chapter 220 - 129: Zhou Guanyu in the Rain

It’s worth mentioning that last week at the Red Bull Ring, Zhou Guanyu’s pole position didn’t turn into a championship, and this week the situation is reversed, Qin Miao’s pole position didn’t translate into a victory.

The most interesting part is that they each won the other’s race.

An entangled fate... 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

While the three commentators at Five-Star Sports were discussing who performed better in the race, Qin Miao or Zhou Guanyu.

Zhou Guanyu’s yellow F2 car had already arrived at the giant Pirelli carpet at the entrance of the pit lane.

Then Zhou Guanyu parked his car at the spot marked for the winner, then Qin Miao’s car followed suit, parking next to Zhou Guanyu’s car, and the last to park was Tsunoda.

Due to the rain, this race was delayed for a long time at the beginning, so the post-race award ceremony footage was only given two minutes, which was just enough time for Zhou Guanyu to park the car, remove the steering wheel, get out of the car, put the steering wheel back, and celebrate on the car.

After that, there was no more footage because too much time was wasted during the red flag period, the F2 race broadcast had already exceeded the time limit.

For this, the domestic audience and commentators naturally complained a bit, after all, in this race, not only did Zhou Guanyu achieve his first F2 career victory, but it was also the first time two Chinese drivers stood together on the F2 podium.

It’s a pity they couldn’t see the two drivers stand on the podium.

And what the audience couldn’t see was that after celebrating for a while upon stepping out of the car, Zhou Guanyu, with helmet still on, immediately headed over to Qin Miao’s car.

When Qin Miao also got out of the car, before even stepping down, Zhou Guanyu gave Qin Miao a bear hug.

But it was just a hug, Zhou Guanyu didn’t say anything.

The Chinese character is generally more reserved, even though Zhou Guanyu went abroad at the age of twelve, his worldview and personality were already formed before that age.

So at this moment, facing his best friend, Zhou Guanyu had a word of thanks stuck in his throat, couldn’t say it, so he could only express his gratitude by heavily patting Qin Miao’s back.

They all played games and trained together, and after the huge surprise, during the return lap, Zhou Guanyu realized that if Qin Miao couldn’t catch up with him when it was still raining at the start of the race, then after Qin Miao pitted and changed tires, with the track in a semi-dry state, he could have attacked.

But Qin Miao didn’t, instead, he handed the victory to Zhou Guanyu.

Honestly, thinking of all this, Zhou Guanyu felt really touched.

Qin Miao also smiled and patted Zhou Guanyu’s shoulder: "Awesome, you’ve lived up to some of my skills from last week."

Right after feeling grateful, Zhou Guanyu’s sense of emotion vanished when he heard Qin Miao’s words, and now Zhou Guanyu really wanted to give him a kick, but before Zhou could do anything, the event staff had already come over to gesture them to hurry with the procedures, since due to time constraints, the award ceremony would be simplified.

As for what followed, there’s not much to say, just went through the normal procedure, only much faster.

Even before Qin Miao and the others returned, the staff from various F2 teams had already started packing up their team’s stuff.

...

Here’s the points scoring situation for the race:

1st: Zhou Guanyu: 25.

2nd: Qin Miao: 18.

3rd: Tsunoda: 15.

4th: Mick Schumacher: 12.

5th: Ilott: 10.

6th: Long Jia De: 8.

7th: Armstrong: 6.

8th: Ticktum: 4.

9th: Aitken: 2.

10th: Gaeler: 1.

After the race, Qin Miao looked at the scoreboard, and noticing his teammate’s ranking, he was stunned.

Hey, when did Mick make such a jump? If I’m not mistaken, this guy started from twelfth.

How did he finish the race and jump straight to fourth? Is the Ferrari setup that incredible?

Thinking of this, Qin Miao suddenly felt the urge to call Binotto and ask him to send a special technician over as well.

But no matter how fast Mick Schumacher jumps up, it doesn’t affect Qin Miao, nor does it threaten his position at the top of the points standings.

After all, after the race, Qin Miao’s total score in the standings has reached 64 points, more than half ahead of the second-placed Ilott.
