How did I become an F1 driver?

Chapter 127 Chapter 125: Fans (6000 words, plus 513 more)

After the sprint race, 13 drivers have scored points.

Among them, Qin Miao took the lead with 44 points, 26 points higher than Longard and Ticktum who tied for second place.

Both Zhou Guanyu and Qin Miao's teammate Mick Schumacher scored two points.

Qin Miao hadn't inquired about Mick's specific situation, nor was he interested, but he knew that Zhou Guanyu's score was so low purely because he was too unlucky.

But at the end of the awards ceremony, when Qin Miao was helping Sui Wentao and the others push his car back to the temporary P room with his equipment on his back, Qiu Meng found Qin Miao.

Generally, when Qin Miao is still at work, Qiu Meng will not disturb Qin Miao. The work and life of this girl are very separated, and she is very measured.

So seeing this girl here at this time means that there should be very important matters that Qin Miao needs to handle personally.

"What's the matter?" Stop what you're doing. Fortunately, Qin Miao's car is not far from the temporary P room, and it doesn't take much effort for Sui Wentao and the three of them to push the car back.

Qiu Meng apologized to Sui Wentao and the others, then pulled Qin Miao to a relatively quiet place and said, "Many F1 team leaders called me just now."

Qin Miao raised her eyebrows, but then thought of her performance yesterday and today: "Unexpected, but reasonable. So what do they mean by calling?"

Qiu Meng took out a notebook and handed it directly to Qin Miao.

Qin Miao opened it and looked at the contents inside.

This girl's handwriting is as delicate as ever. Compared with her handwriting, Qin Miao's handwriting can really be called chicken feet.

The notebook recorded who made the call, and Qiu Meng also wrote down the phone number of the other party.

At the same time, there are also verbal commitments given by each team.

In the end, Qiu Meng even made a note of what she thought she was recommending and the credibility of the other party's words.

It could be seen that Qiu Meng had been preparing for a long time before bringing these things in front of Qin Miao.

"So many?" Qin Miao was a little surprised that so many teams were interested in him just because of his performance in one game.

But Qiu Meng said: "It's not that your performance on the field is a little too amazing. If I were the team leader of these teams, I would contact you as soon as possible and try to recruit you."

After finishing speaking, Qiu Meng asked again: "Any thoughts?"

Without much hesitation, Qin Miao closed the notebook and returned it to Qiumeng, saying, "I'm not going to change the house now. After all, Ferrari is still very good to us, and it also gives the house and the car."

Qiu Meng nodded knowingly, not surprised, Qin Miao is like this sometimes, it's more like an axis than a single-mindedness.

Compared with better choices, Qin Miao is more inclined to choose those that are more humane.

However, Qin Miao still explained the reason for his choice: "It is impossible that no one in Ferrari has received the news. Knowing that so many teams have extended an olive branch to me, they will definitely mention my treatment at that time. "

"Okay, I'll call them back tomorrow and let me know."

"Thanks for your hard work." Qin Miao reached out to pat Qiu Meng's head.

"It should be~"

……

After dealing with personal issues, Qin Miao returned to the team meeting room for a meeting.

This will be the summary meeting after the Austrian Grand Prix, and Qin Miao can't do it anymore.

Fortunately, the meeting process this time was not too long, and because Qin Miao's performance was indeed too impressive, the topics about Qin Miao at the meeting were basically praise and encouragement.

Who doesn't like to hear people praise themselves, let alone in front of the scene.

It was only during the meeting that Qin Miao knew the reason why Mick did not perform well in this race: the car tuning was not set up properly.

When Qin Miao heard the statement given by Mick, she glanced at the engineer who was let down from the Ferrari F1 team in surprise.

This buddy is not so much a decentralization, it is better to say that he came to accompany the prince to study according to the leader's wishes. It stands to reason that it is impossible for Mick to not be able to tune the car well in the presence of this buddy.

However, Qin Miao didn't bother to find out the specifics. After the meeting, she cheerfully took Qiu Meng and asked Franky and Sui Wentao to go out for dinner.

Although there are still some follow-up matters to be dealt with, these matters belong to Sui Wentao and the others, and have nothing to do with Qin Miao, the driver. After eating, let them come back to work for half an hour and it will be settled.

The place to eat was the cafeteria where Zhou Guanyu took Qin Miao and Qiu Meng to eat last time.

As for the buffet, there is no shortage of food. Although it is a bit expensive, given Qin Miao's financial situation at this time, he can't afford it.

During the dinner, we ate and drank, chatted about what happened during the race, and listened to Qin Miao talk about his operation method and feeling when overtaking during the race.

In such an environment, surrounded by familiar people and colleagues, Qin Miao has no worries.

"I didn't feel it! I'm not bragging. I basically didn't feel any pressure during the whole race. The only interesting thing in the race was that the steering wheel didn't have power steering. It was interesting to wrestle with the steering wheel when going through the turns T6`T10. "

"However, I feel that the sprint stage is a little more interesting than the main race, but only the first ten laps are a little more interesting."

"At that time, I was really worried that my tires were not enough, so I pushed rather quickly, trying to get out of the traffic flow and get into the leading position as soon as possible.

Because I knew that I was faster than the people behind me even if I kept my tires in front. In order to get the leading position as soon as possible, I pushed hard in front and focused on overtaking. "

Speaking of this, Qin Miao paused, then leaned back and spread her hands and said, "Then the safety car came out.

It can be said that the safety car ruined all my racing experience, because after he came out, I didn't worry about my tires being enough. "

Not to mention Franky and the others, even Qiu Meng felt that Qin Miao was pretending, but what could be done?Qin Miao really beat all the drivers alone in the race.

He has already achieved fame, so the credibility of what he said naturally increases in a straight line. Even if this passage sounds like it is pretending, others can only nod in agreement, because he is awesome and has the ability to pretend.

While bragging and eating, time passed quickly. When they were full, Sui Wentao and the others went back to work, while Qin Miao took Qiumeng back to the hotel.

After arriving at the hotel, Qin Miao didn't rush to start playing games, but lay on the bed and looked at her mobile phone.

Probably when the news that he became a student of the Ferrari Driver Academy spread to China, there was an extra "driver Qin Miao bar" in the post bar.

At the beginning, there was only a buddy called Met1or in this post bar who posted some news about Qin Miao that he picked up from the official website of the Ferrari Driver Academy and translated.

At that time, Qin Miao was basically not well-known, and there were no posts in the post bar.

After the news of Qin Miao's entry into F2 spread back to China, the forum became a little more lively, but at this time, the posts in the forum were more about discussing who Qin Miao is, and whether it is embarrassing to go to F2.

However, today is different. Once Qin Miao's results in the past two days were released, Qin Miao's post bar became lively, and both the posts and the number of people began to increase rapidly.

Met1or, who first established this post bar, also became the owner of the post bar.

At this time, Qin Miao was wandering around the post bar.

After being praised by Luo Xin just now, Qin Miao admitted that he already liked the feeling of being recognized and praised by others.

And who can refuse a post bar where all the posts are praising you?

Among them, Qin Miao stayed the longest in a post about "Why Qin Miao is a God".

[Qin Miao?God Qin! 】

[Not to mention anything else, just Qin Miao's appearance, driving skills, and his neither humble nor haughty performance after winning the championship, in my opinion, this kid has the air of a general. 】

[No matter who it is, as long as he has the ability to win the championship in both the main race and the sprint race of F2, then he is a god]

[Speaking of which corner did a genius of Qin Miao's level emerge from?I watched the F2 race live on Five Star Sports yesterday and just now like a fucking dream, now I don’t even want to watch the opening race of F1, I just want to watch you brag about Qin Miao]

[F1? It’s just a low-level substitute for F2. If you really want to see overtaking and dogfighting, you have to come to F2 to find me. 】

[Upstairs, you Miaoshen only contributed one overtaking to you yesterday, and Zhou Guanyu overtook it...]

【……unimportant! 】

……

There is one thing to say, Qin Miao really feels that the group of people in the post bar are too talented, and they don’t wear the same when they praise themselves. Qin Miao feels that if he opens the post bar while eating, he can skip the food and just eat. These car fans commented that they can eat two more bowls of rice.

As for Weibo, there are quite a few people who praise Qin Miao, but most of them are nympho under the photo of Qin Miao accepting the award, saying that he is handsome and wants to be his wife or something.

Qin Miao glanced at it and didn't pay much attention to it. How can these nymphomaniacs look comfortable with the fanciful boasting of brother Tieba.

When Qin Miao came back to her senses, Qiu Meng came out of the toilet with a bath towel around her body, and Qin Miao realized belatedly that the girl had already finished her bath.

Looking at Qiumeng's fair and slender legs, Qin Miao suddenly wondered if Qiumeng said yesterday that she bought two sets of cosplay clothes.

When Qin Miao was about to say something, Zhou Guanyu called at an inopportune time.

"Go to the game!"

I already dove on Zhou Guanyu once yesterday, but now Qin Miao really can't refuse, and recalling Qiu Meng's eyes full of complaints when she woke up this morning, Qin Miao also knows that these things must be done within her means And go.

Like a great song, you listen to it every day and get bored pretty quickly after a month of listening.

Not to mention setting a favorite song as your wake-up ringtone, which will make you start hating the song outright.

"5 minutes." After replying, Qin Miao hung up the phone, got up from the bed and went to her notebook.

After Qiu Meng changed into her clothes, she started her own study. She asked for her study materials from her university counselor, which are her professional textbooks for this semester. Now she has been studying on her own. course.

In the game, during the timeout when a teammate disconnected, Zhou Guanyu asked in the voice: "Qin Miao, do you have Weibo?"

"Yes, I have."

"Then why do so many of your fans come to my Weibo to ask me for your Weibo?"

Qin Miao pressed F and turned the butterfly knife in her hand and said, "The name of my Weibo is not my real name, and I haven't verified it with Weibo. If they can find my Weibo, they will be ghosts."

Zhou Guanyu persuaded: "You must have a Weibo account. The user base of Weibo is still very large. It will not hurt you to have a Weibo account."

Qin Miao wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, all she had to pay for an account on a public social platform like Weibo was just a name. Meng went to take care of it.

That being the case, get one and get one...

The two didn't play for too long. Although tomorrow is a holiday, the driver's self-control is still very strong, and there is basically no intersection with those abnormal routines in daily life.

At eleven o'clock in the evening, Qin Miao fell asleep on the hotel bed with her girlfriend Xiangxiang's limp body in her arms.

Although the grand prix is ​​over, basically no one left Austria.

Due to well-known reasons, many circuits are closed under the influence of the general environment, so this year's F1 schedule is actually not enough.

In order to be able to make up a certain number of Grand Prix games, Liberty Media Group held two F1 Grand Prix in Austria. The difference is that the names of the two F1 Grand Prix are different.

At the same time, there are two British games, two Italian games and two Bahrain games on the calendar this season.

After all, it is an expedient measure, and the audience and the team are not incomprehensible. Liberty Media Group has done its best to make up so many games under such an environment.

Therefore, after the race, all the people did not leave Austria, but they stayed on the side of the track, preparing to rest for two days and then devote themselves to the intense and exciting work again.

On the second day, Qiumeng re-established a Weibo account named [Driver Qin Miao] according to Qin Miao's intention. Fortunately, this name was not registered first.

Just like what Zhou Guanyu said when he was playing games, the Weibo platform has a relatively large fan base, with a certain number of fans, and Qin Miao’s basic base is in China, and it is very important to have a certain fan base in his hometown. necessary.

As for other interests, a person who basically has little contact with the dark side of society, and enters Ferrari youth training directly after graduating from high school to start training, naturally has no understanding of these things, and has no thoughts in this regard.

After the Weibo registration is complete, find the Weibo official personnel to verify the identity of the Weibo account. After obtaining the blue v, Qin Miao's mission is completed.

After Zhou Guanyu received the news, he posted a Weibo @qinmiao.

Driver Zhou Guanyu: No, what you want is @秦iao, I urged it out overnight yesterday.

Then Qin Miao and Qiu Meng watched in shock as Qin Miao's Weibo fans rose from 0 to 10W in two hours.

The most outrageous thing is that because Qin Miao's Weibo has not opened VIP, and then a fan directly anonymously recharged Qin Miao's membership for 30 years, which gave Qin Miao and Qiu Meng a little shock.

Although the growth rate has begun to slow down after the number of fans has grown to 10, it is still improving steadily.

However, because Qin Miao's official Weibo has not posted a single Weibo, so I can only see that the fan base of this account is growing crazily, but there is no comment.

Although the two of them can't be said to play Weibo frequently, they still have some basic knowledge of Weibo.

Knowing that at this time, I need to post a Weibo to say hello to Qin Miao's fans.

Originally, what Qin Miao thought was that she and Qiumeng got together and posted a selfie.

But Qiu Meng stopped her: "This is your Weibo, I came here to see you, what's the point of bringing me here?"

Qin Miao also felt that it made sense, and Qiu Meng had more ideas and foresight than Qin Miao in this matter, so Qin Miao followed suit.

Qiu Meng flipped through her mobile phone, because Qin Miao was a little autistic, she would feel a little awkward when facing the camera, and her movements seemed a bit unnatural to Qiu Meng, so she usually works and lives in Qin Miao While playing games, I used my mobile phone to secretly take pictures of Qin Miao.

Compared with the photos taken by Zheng'er Bajing, the photos secretly taken by Qiu Meng look more natural, and Qin Miao is more photogenic.

After picking and choosing, Qiu Meng chose a photo of Qin Miao running in the gym wearing earphones and sent it out.

The reason for choosing this photo is that Qiu Meng likes it very much, and there is a small easter egg in this photo, that is, Zhou Guanyu can be vaguely seen in the distance with a towel on his shoulders and hands Holding two bottles of water in his hand, he was walking in the direction of Qin Miao.

After choosing the photo, Qiu Meng uploaded the photo and posted the first Weibo of Qin Miao's account.

【First! 】

【second! 】

【God Qin! 】

【Self-disciplined Qin Miao】

【This figure, even a man envies me】

【That is?Xiao Zhou?These two have a good relationship, it seems that it is not a rumor]

[Our Qin Miao is great!Such a good figure and so self-discipline]

……

Seeing this, Qiu Meng frowned and realized that things were not simple.

Why is this comment on the rice circle so full of flavor?

However, Qiu Meng didn't care about it at this time. After looking at the comment area and finding no personal attacks or aggressive comments, Qiu Meng put away her mobile phone.

She will continue to update Weibo, but she is also busy recently, so she should not update too frequently. If she thinks about it, she will find a photo or two from her mobile phone album and post it.

After the rest of the first day was over, Qin Miao planned to stay in the hotel to complete the daily training on the second day, just like the first day, and then turned on the simulator, and then began to happily play CSGO.

However, Lawson called Qin Miao in the afternoon and invited him out for afternoon tea together with Mattia Binotto, the leader of the Ferrari F1 team.

Faced with the invitation from her immediate superior, Qin Miao naturally had no reason to refuse.

Zhou Guanyu could only suffer more.

And Zhou Guanyu also expressed his understanding after knowing the reason why Qin Miao gave up, but he was still somewhat envious of Qin Miao in his heart.

Qin Miao attracted the attention of so many teams in just one race, and Ferrari's youth training director and F1 team leader joined the battle.

As for why he was looking for Qin Miao at this time, although Zhou Guanyu didn't have a definite answer, he could vaguely guess the reason.

It's nothing more than drawing cakes for Qin Miao, and then using my sincerity to narrow the relationship with Qin Miao.

Although Zhou Guanyu has no experience in this area, he is very familiar with the routines in this area.

And the facts were almost the same as Zhou Guanyu's conjecture.

When Qin Miao came to the agreed coffee shop alone, he found that Binotto and Lawson had arrived earlier than him. You must know that because it was the invitation of his immediate boss and the immediate boss's immediate boss, Qin Miao At Qiumeng's request, Miao deliberately arrived more than 20 minutes early.

But even so, Lawson and the others still arrived earlier than Qin Miao, which gave Qin Miao a hint that the two of them valued themselves very much.

Old psychology routine.

The coffee shop is very quiet and there are few customers, so even though the teacher's face is very recognizable, no one came forward to disturb him.

These two people are familiar with Qin Miao, so Lawson will not talk about it. His immediate boss was in charge of Qin Miao when he was in Maranello. Lawson also gave Qin Miao a class, so call him Teachers are not exaggerated.

As for Qin Miao and Binotto, they are more familiar with each other in the simulator work, but the relationship is definitely not as good as Lawson.

"Mr. Binotto, Mr. Lawson, hello. I'm sorry I'm late." Although Qin Miao was not late after arriving, he also knew that it is not a good habit to let his elders and leaders wait for him, so he told him first. Guilty.

Lawson didn't speak, but Binotto was the first to say, "It's okay, Qin, we came too early."

After finishing speaking, Binotto shrugged: "After all, facing a talented driver like you, I think I, an old man, should also show some corresponding respect."

Binotto bluntly pointed out that he came early to wait for Qin Miao.

To be honest, ordinary people may have to wonder if Binotto has other plans for him when he encounters this situation. After all, the ancestors have already summed it up for us: if there is nothing to be courteous, it is either rape or robbery.

But Qin Miao was different. He was well protected by Qiu Meng, and he grew up in an uncomplicated environment, so Qin Miao didn't think too much about it.

Seeing Binotto being so outspoken, Qin Miao had a certain liking for him.

"Your affirmation makes me feel trembling..."

"Sit down, Lawson ordered you a yogurt and nuts, I hope you like it."

Seeing what Lawson ordered for herself, Qin Miao immediately put on a wry smile.

When Lubosi was still with Qin Miao, Qin Miao drank it almost every day. No matter how good the taste was, he couldn't resist drinking it every day. Qin Miao had already felt like vomiting.

But at this time, Luo Xin and Binotto are face to face, Qin Miao can't say "I don't like it", right?

Moving the cup of yogurt aside without leaving any trace, Qin Miao asked curiously, "Then you two called me over today, specifically why?"

Binotto had investigated Qin Miao's character before he came here, so it's good to talk directly without going around the bush.

"After our internal evaluation, we believe that you already have the ability to drive an F1 car, and the negotiation between Vettel and us on the driver's contract for next season is not smooth, and he will leave Ferrari next season with a high probability..."
