How Did I Become an F1 Driver?-Chapter 861 - 343: Qin Miao’s Classroom Is Now in Session

Moreover, Zhou Guanyu doesn't dare to bring Qin Miao along; he's afraid Qimeng will kill him if she finds out.

"Nah, people like you should just stay home playing games. Thinking about so much is useless."

...

Soon, they arrived at Zhou Guanyu's home.

In the elevator, Zhou Guanyu asked curiously, "How long are you staying in Shanghai this time?"

"I don't know, plenty of work, I'll leave when I finish up."

"Tsk, that's nice, having work at this time—must be earning quite a bit?"

"Aside from a Yili ad and a variety show for earning money, all other work is basically unpaid labor," Qin Miao replied.

Zhou Guanyu raised an eyebrow, "Qin Miao willingly doing free work for others? I don't believe it."

"There's a CCTV interview, seems like there's also an invitation from some talk show, but it's in Beijing, too far so I declined. There's also an interview from Jiushi Sports, and Shanghai TV Station invited me alongside. Lastly, there's Yili." Qin Miao counted on his fingers in front of Zhou Guanyu.

"Wow, all state-owned enterprises," Zhou Guanyu exclaimed in astonishment. "The key is that you're bold enough to refuse!"

"Why wouldn't I dare?" Qin Miao shrugged. "I genuinely don't have the time."

As they were chatting, the elevator reached Zhou Guanyu's floor.

Watching Zhou Guanyu unlock his apartment door with a fingerprint, Qin Miao asked curiously, "What's the password?"

"2048." Zhou Guanyu answered straightforwardly without even thinking.

"Oh, I'll come to your place and steal your fruit next time."

"Is that all you aspire to?"

Qin Miao pondered while stroking his chin, then asked tentatively, "Should I come over next time and boil all your house plants to death?"

Feeling speechless, Zhou Guanyu begrudgingly opened the door and said, "Stop talking nonsense. Do you still look like a world champion? Hurry up and come in.

The bed and everything have been prepared by the maid, and toiletries are also fully equipped in the room ready for you to use."

"So generous." Qin Miao saluted.

Zhou Guanyu waved his hand and said, "A father taking care of a son, it's only right."

"Damn you!"

Zhou Guanyu's apartment in Shanghai has a similar decoration style to his place in the UK—it's a spacious flat, sparsely decorated, quite empty.

Perhaps this is the style he prefers.

However, when Qin Miao finished organizing his things in the room Zhou Guanyu prepared for him, Zhou Guanyu was already setting up his racing simulator.

Seeing Qin Miao come out, Zhou Guanyu immediately waved to him, "World champion, help me look at the data I've run recently, and point out any shortcomings."

Noticing Zhou Guanyu's words and actions, Qin Miao twitched a corner of his mouth, "Waiting for me, huh."

Even though he was complaining, Qin Miao didn't refuse Zhou Guanyu's invitation.

After grabbing a Coke from the fridge, Qin Miao walked over to Zhou Guanyu's racing simulator, twisting off the Coke bottle cap while asking, "Alfa Romeo's simulator?"

"Yes, developed by Alfa Romeo themselves."

"How does it feel?" Qin Miao asked after taking a sip of his Coke, followed by a satisfied sigh.

"Not as good as Genshin Impact," Zhou Guanyu replied.

Qin Miao gave Zhou Guanyu a look, "No jokes at this serious time."

"Oh, alright," Zhou Guanyu returned to seriousness and said, "It feels okay; lots of feedback mechanisms aren't implemented. It's not on the same level as the Mercedes simulator, not even as good as Renault's."

Qin Miao nodded, "I'll try Alfa Romeo's simulator first, then help you review the data."

"Sure."

Soon, half an hour later, Qin Miao turned off the simulator, then began to analyze the video of Zhou Guanyu's recent runs, along with various telemetry data recorded by the simulator.

After another ten minutes of review, Qin Miao commented, "It's about right, but Alfa Romeo's simulator is somewhat lousy, lots of feedback is as good as nonexistent, the numbers are somewhat off, but fortunately, it's passable.

Let me think, make some notes..."

Upon Qin Miao's words, Zhou Guanyu picked up a voice recorder and looked at Qin Miao.

Not minding it, Qin Miao started analyzing Zhou Guanyu's driving flaws: "First, at Silverstone's T1, you turn the wheel a bit late, and because you're late in steering for the corner, you aim for cornering precision, leading to you steering excessively at the turn-in." Qin Miao paused the video recording and began detailing Zhou Guanyu's weaknesses.

"You mustn't carry over habits from your F2 days; though F1 and F2 are both called formula racing, their difference is like monkeys versus humans—different species entirely.

F1 car's sensitivity far exceeds F2's, every minor mistake affects your lap time.

The right approach for this turn is to initiate the corner earlier, steer-in gently...let me demonstrate."

Saying so, Qin Miao launched a Silverstone qualifying simulation on the Alfa Romeo simulator, and after starting a flying lap using the system's default cornering rhythm, Qin Miao personally demonstrated the entry and exit of T1.

After exiting the corner, Qin Miao didn't continue the lap and instead paused the game to compare his exit speed against Zhou Guanyu's.

"See, my entry speed matches yours, but I enter earlier, my steering during this process is smoother, and after T1 I'm already 0.04 seconds faster than you."
