Words : 835 Updated : Sep 25th, 2025

Fei’s words really seemed to be showing off.Qin Miao got the fastest lap when he was chasing Long Jia De in the eighth lap. After temporarily moving to first place, the race entered a rhythm that domestic audiences were quite familiar with, with Qin Miao maintaining his tires alone up front, leaving the broadcaster without any shots of Qin Miao. At this time, the audience instead focused their attention on Zhou Guanyu, because there really wasn’t much to see with Qin Miao. However, Zhou Guanyu was not as strong as Qin Miao. After moving to fourth place using Qin Miao’s draft, he couldn’t progress further and maintained fourth place throughout the race. In the end, the race finished under Qin Miao’s lead. Qin Miao once again won the championship, followed by Long Jia De, who was pulled away by 7 seconds, then Ticktum, and then Zhou Guanyu. After the race, the top eight rankings and scores are as follows: 1st: Qin Miao: 17. (Sprint race champion +15, fastest lap +2) 2nd: Long Jia De: 12. 3rd: Ticktum: 10 4th: Zhou Guanyu: 8. 5th: Ilott: 6. 6th: Aitken: 4. 7th: Gaeler: 2. 8th: Mazepin: 1. Thus, the two F2 races at the Red Bull Ring have ended, and the next stop is next week’s Hungary. After the two Red Bull Ring races, the F2 standings are as follows: 1st: Qin Miao: 82. 2nd: Long Jia De: 38. 3rd: Zhou Guanyu: 35. 4th: Ilott: 34. 5th: Ticktum: 32. 6th: Armstrong: 21. 7th: Drogovich: 16. 8th: Dretraz: 16. 9th: Tsunoda: 15. 10th: Mick Schumacher: 14. 11th: Alessi: 8. 12th: Aitken: 7. 13th: Panasonic: 6. 14th: Gaeler: 3. 15th: Ness: 1. 16th: Mazepin: 1. Qin Miao’s points alone are more than the combined total of the second-place Long Jia De and third-place Zhou Guanyu. Counting this, it’s already Qin Miao’s fourth time on the podium at the Red Bull Ring, with three championships and one runner-up. Moreover, at present, all F2 champions have been taken by Chinese drivers. It is truly a domination. On the other side, the entire Prema team is still excitedly celebrating Qin Miao’s victory at the edge of the paddock, leaning against the guardrail. Everyone’s face carried a satisfied smile, although Mick retired from the race, Qin Miao’s performance was still outstanding. Everyone was celebrating, but the Prema team leader Roxin somewhat showed a hint of worry in his brows amidst the celebration. Could it be that no one in the entire F2 can challenge Qin Miao? After that, things got simpler. Qin Miao drove the car into the pits, parked on the podium, cheered a bit, hugged the team staff, then accepted interviews, received his trophy, and listened to the national anthem. Qin Miao is already very familiar with this set of procedures. Afterwards, there wasn’t much more to say. Qin Miao did not return to the Ferrari headquarters today, after all, there’s another race next week. Also, after the second Austrian Grand Prix, they need to go back for a meeting and summary, plus Ferrari won’t have time to provide guidance like they do during practice for the upcoming main race. Back at the team meeting room, Roxin naturally gave full recognition to Qin Miao’s performance in this race — first place in the first Grand Prix race, first in the second sprint race, anyone would commend that. As for Mick, he was still admonished, despite rising from twelfth to fourth in the main race. However, it didn’t mask his fault; in the sprint race at T1, he had excessive steering leading to a spin and causing the car to stall, which counts as a rookie mistake for a racer and was somewhat embarrassing. After the meeting, Roxin also arranged next week’s break and assembly times, and discussed when to return to Vicenza and when to head to Hungary. After the meeting, everyone surely didn’t want to stay at the hotel anymore; they had been living here for almost half a month. Compared to the hotels here, Qin Miao missed his bed in Vicenza and Maranello more. Although it’s not as soft as the hotel bed, it feels more reassuring to sleep in. Of course, this time Qin Miao wasn’t returning with the team staff; he was heading back on his own. Before going back, he had a meal with Zhou Guanyu. After dinner, Qin Miao called a car to take both of them all the way back to their home in Vicenza. To be honest, although European countries are small, crossing one is at most three or four hundred kilometers, they don’t need a visa or anything when crossing borders, traveling across Europe feels just like crossing provincial borders domestically. There is no real sense to it. Back at his long-missed home, although Qin Miao had driven in the morning and traveled in the afternoon, he still enthusiastically opened the express package and took out the cosplay costume. Then he approached Qimeng with a face full of anticipation: "Hehe, darling..."
