It’s not like there’s no chance of getting on the podium. Besides, if the race doesn’t go well, isn’t there still a sprint race tomorrow? Surely it won’t rain again tomorrow, right? So, at that time, I can pull off a back-to-back win in the sprint race. After figuring it out, Qin Miao’s face lit up with a smile. He turned around to give Qimeng a peck on her little nose and then went off to prepare before the race started. The middle part won’t be elaborated here, and the scene shifts to the moment when the race is about to begin. Compared to the first F2 race, the viewership for the main race of this second F2 race has increased significantly across major platforms. Because Qin Miao is the first Chinese person to win on the F2 track, and also the first to debut in F2 and win both the main and sprint races. In just a week, the news of Qin Miao’s victory has fully taken root domestically, so today the number of viewers watching this race on Five-Star Sports is half as much more compared to the same time last week. Amid the commentary from the three announcers, the viewers who hadn’t caught the F2 qualifying race learned about the starting grid for today’s main race. Qin Miao in first, Zhou Guanyu in second, Yuki Tsunoda in third. Most of the viewers did not pay attention to the drivers behind them. On one hand, they are here to watch Qin Miao in F2. On the other hand, these foreign names are quite hard to remember for Chinese people who aren’t familiar with them. Apart from watching Qin Miao, most viewers wanted to see how Zhou Guanyu performed on the F2 track. As for why they could remember Yuki Tsunoda’s name... it’s because his national flag somewhat evokes a sense of national grievances for Chinese people, leaving a memorable impression. However, seeing Qin Miao and Zhou Guanyu leading over this little devil, many casual viewers felt quite happy and developed a bit more connection with Qin Miao and Zhou Guanyu. Soon, the director displayed the starting order of the many drivers, as well as the times they achieved these laps and the time gap between cars. This is also the first time two Chinese drivers started from the front row in an F2 main race. From the moment Qin Miao entered F2, with two Chinese on the F2 track, they have been setting new records in China’s racing history with each achievement. While the director was playing the driver rankings, Qin Miao, who had already changed to rain tires and was parked on the track, helplessly wiped the raindrops off his helmet visor. This rain doesn’t seem heavy, but once in it, you realize the raindrops indeed aren’t large, but there’s so much of it falling densely. Just now, when Sui Wentao stood up abruptly after doing a final setup check for Qin Miao’s car, he knocked aside the umbrella that was covering Qin Miao’s car. The umbrella was already wet, and with this jolt, the water splashed right onto Qin Miao’s helmet. A fair amount of water also got inside Qin Miao’s monocoque. Fortunately, Qin Miao’s racing suit is not only fireproof but also has a water-repellent coating on the surface. If it’s not submerged in water, it’s unlikely to get wet inside. Even if some water did get in, there is a set of sweat-absorbing snug wear inside Qin Miao’s racing suit. The material of this wear can absorb a little moisture, keeping Qin Miao’s body dry. Moreover, there are drain holes in Qin Miao’s monocoque, preventing scenarios where waiting for the start in heavy rain leads to the monocoque getting flooded and the driver ending up taking a bath while driving. Sui Wentao quickly reinserted the umbrella into Qin Miao’s car, giving a final check of the car’s setup. After confirming everything was fine, he gestured okay with a thumbs up to Qin Miao, then began to pack up his things. However, the umbrella with the Ferrari logo and the Prema team badge on Qin Miao’s head was left in place. There were only three red lights left, and crew members started taking tires and tools off the track, leaving only the staff holding umbrellas to shield the drivers from the rain. The director wanted to cut in a clip of Qin Miao with the team’s TR to show the viewers, as only Qin Miao’s TR frequency kept active conversation. The director was very curious about what Qin Miao’s team was continuously discussing with him. Not only are domestic viewers very curious and expectant of Qin Miao, but there are even more people following F2 abroad. Naturally, more people know about Qin Miao and are quite curious about him. They also want to know which remote corner Qin Miao emerged from to become so strong. With curiosity comes demand; viewers are eager to learn more about Qin Miao. The director wanted to cut a segment for viewers to hear, to help them understand Qin Miao’s character better. However, the driver’s TR is typically screened by the onsite director before being broadcast to the audience. This is why there’s a beep sound to censor some words in the drivers’ TR. When the onsite director tapped into Qin Miao’s and the team’s TR channel, they discovered, somewhat speechlessly, that Prema’s TR was continuously active not because they were talking, but because they were playing music. Though the music was catchy, this is really not the time to be playing songs. Aren’t you worried that the driver might miss the team’s instructions?
