Chapter 1356 - 510: Features of the W14

Chapter 1356: Chapter 510: Features of the W14

Moreover, this is not the W14’s complete form; if the original aerodynamic kit were installed, the tail speed of the W14 could be even faster.

Of course, these are parts not convenient to display, it’s enough to know about them personally.

After the three-day winter testing concluded, Qin Miao did not slack off by returning to Monaco or the UK during this final break before the start of the ’23 season.

Instead, he stayed in Bahrain to acclimate to the climate and restored his usual Grand Prix weekend training intensity.

After all, the first two races of the ’23 season are held in desert conditions in the Middle East, adapting ahead to the dry climate could make Qin Miao feel more comfortable when the races start.

And he wouldn’t need to swallow saliva while driving due to the local arid climate, affecting his driving.

Moreover, the low-intensity workouts during the holidays led to a drop in Qin Miao’s physical attribute, now at 98 points.

Although Qin Miao’s stamina still ranks first among all current F1 drivers, it’s easy to go from frugality to luxury, but hard from luxury to frugality.

Having experienced the body condition at 99 stamina, after dropping to 98, there’s a constant feeling of discomfort, everything feels off.

Therefore, during this period, Qin Miao intensely trained his physical fitness at the hotel prepared by the team, but Qin Miao couldn’t reduce his practice with the racing simulator due to physical reasons, thus even though it’s said to be the final rest time before the race, he hardly touched his computer, at most having video calls with Qimeng to chat while exercising daily.

Speaking of Qin Miao’s system.

Throughout last year, Qin Miao barely paid attention to his system because, in the second year of entering the paddock, Qin Miao’s abilities in all aspects were already at a top-notch level, so further improvement wouldn’t change the race results significantly.

When reaching Qin Miao’s tier, the focus shifts from the driver’s personal ability to the performance of cars developed by the team.

However, even if Qin Miao didn’t look, it doesn’t mean his attributes didn’t change; over the year, Qin Miao’s attributes improved to varying degrees.

[Host Name: Qin Miao

Overall Rating: 93.7→94.7

Attack Ability: 94.2→96

Defense Ability: 100（+1）]

First is Qin Miao’s mentality. To be honest, Qin Miao doesn’t know why this attribute decreased by four points.

But Qin Miao has a vague suspicion, as these four points were lost on the day he won the two world championships.

It’s likely due to the two world championships.

These two world championships indeed brought nearly infinite honor and attention.

But invisibly, they also became Qin Miao’s pressure, making the carefree Qin Miao start worrying about gains and losses.

However, undeniably, even if Qin Miao gained pressure after winning two world championships, this mentality of 91 points is enough to dominate the whole paddock.

Besides, this year’s practice and the bonus attribute points given by the system to Qin Miao after inadvertently completing system tasks.

In the first year, Qin Miao was enthusiastic about system tasks; in the second year, he began ignoring them.

Just like when Qin Miao plays games where the official releases countless tasks for daily engagement, Qin Miao ignores them, simply enjoying the game.

If coincidentally completing a task, it’s a bonus, and he doesn’t care if it’s incomplete.

Now Qin Miao has such an attitude towards his system tasks.

Of course, Qin Miao is genuinely proud of his Rain Combat Ability.

Since that rain battle, Qin Miao’s Rain Combat Ability hasn’t decreased its attribute; it hasn’t dropped to the limit of 80 points because Qin Miao has never relaxed his training in rain combat.

Qin Miao even feels his daily training over the past half-year has surpassed the limit of his Rain Combat Ability, now the limit should be at 81.

Meaning once dropping to 81 points, it will not continue to decline.

But Qin Miao is unlikely to abandon rain combat training to test this speculation, maintaining at least two hours daily on the simulator.

On the other hand, Qin Miao feels the most useless improvement.

After winning the championship in ’22, Qin Miao obtained a skill, remarkably, a golden one.

The skill’s general effect is to increase his highest attribute by one point.

It’s equivalent to breaking human limits in attributes.

But Qin Miao feels his Defense Ability was already unbeatable, and between 100 and 100+1, in Qin Miao’s understanding, there shouldn’t be significant enhancement.

Qin Miao really can’t think of how much breakthrough a defense ability beyond human limits would be.

Could it establish an absolute field behind him?

Even if that were true, this season Mercedes’ development capability is steadily improving, with significant enhancements in car performance, and can be foreseen the performance improvements will continue, and the upgrade space for W14 is also enormous, as long as solving the excess 20KG, it’s a single lap 0.7 seconds improvement space.

The following cars may not keep up with Qin Miao’s racing rhythm, let alone surpass him.

So Qin Miao really feels this skill is somewhat useless.
