CHAPTER 194: CHAPTER 123: SLICING THROUGH THE COMPETITION

This is visible on the surface, but the capabilities that Qin Miao couldn’t see in secret are just as formidable as the first two.

That is the ability to apply pressure.

You might find it hard to quantify this ability because you’re not a driver on the track. You can’t feel the terrifying pressure of seeing Qin Miao’s car in your rearview mirror, the steering wheel display showing a 0.5-second gap with the car behind, and it always remains a 0.5-second gap. Even if you make the slightest mistake, this 0.5-second gap will shorten to 0.4, or even 0.3.

Especially if the opponent overtakes you, you’ll lose the hard-earned chance for a podium finish, and that pressure will multiply.

Alessi is feeling exactly this way now; the pressure Qin Miao is giving him is immense, and he knows that any mistake he makes will be seized by Qin Miao for an instant overtake.

Under such high pressure, Alessi naturally couldn’t drive well, his speed dropped significantly, and most of his attention was spent on defending against Qin Miao rather than on the track.

As he watched the first and second places gradually opening up the gap, Qin Miao also realized he couldn’t tease this unlucky guy up front anymore. If he continued to play, this guy might not be able to withstand the pressure and cause a track accident. Although seeing a safety car on the track would be something Qin Miao wouldn’t mind, as a person with normal values, Qin Miao still hoped his colleagues wouldn’t have accidents on the race track. So, when passing T3, Qin Miao forced an inside line to complete the overtake.

He then began chasing the first and second places, which were already 1.7 seconds ahead of him.

And watching Qin Miao snatch away his podium position, Alessi not only had no dissatisfaction, but he let out a long sigh of relief—this guy finally moved on.

It was only until this moment that he discovered Qin Miao was using soft tires during the sprint race.

He also understood why Qin Miao was able to catch up to third place after starting from eighth and winning the main race, and thinking back to Qin Miao’s set of red tires that ran 29 laps in the formal race, Alessi sighed deeply, accepting it wholeheartedly.

After being overtaken by Qin Miao, Alessi even tried to follow behind Qin Miao to see if he could use Qin Miao’s slipstream and DRS to get closer to the two drivers in front.

Although he accepted being overtaken by Qin Miao, losing the podium was still a bit regrettable and disheartening for Alessi.

However, during the race phase, Qin Miao deliberately used tire conservation methods to prepare the slipstream and DRS for Zhou Guanyu. At that time, Zhou Guanyu couldn’t catch up with Qin Miao, who was conserving tires, not to mention Alessi, whose skills were slightly inferior to Zhou Guanyu. Moreover, at this moment, Qin Miao was in a normal state of lap time advancement, so Alessi couldn’t keep up.

He could only despairingly watch Qin Miao pulling away the distance between them at every corner, eventually being simply and straightforwardly thrown out of the DRS zone after three or four corners.

"Beautiful! Qin Miao overtakes Alessi to reach third place!" At Five-Star Sports, the three commentators were truly dumbfounded at this moment—they were wide-eyed.

They had hoped for a day when a formal Chinese driver would appear in the F1 circuit. Their expectation was originally Zhou Guanyu, and Zhou Guanyu indeed had the strength to become a formal F1 driver.

Be it driving skills or funds,

However, due to the domestic environment, their pursuit was only for the appearance of a formal F1 Chinese driver on the F1 circuit. They never thought that one day, a Chinese driver would appear on the track, dominating the world single-handedly.

In an F2 circuit where everyone was driving a standardized car, overtaking seemed effortless, like taking something out of one’s pocket.

And today they saw it, so what can they say?

Just like when Qin Miao first received the money from the system, it’s all about enjoying it!
