How did I become an F1 driver?

If praised by ordinary fans and friends in Qin Miao's live broadcast room, Qin Miao can still remain calm. After all, Qin Miao himself knows that he is doing well and that he is awesome.

Moreover, Qin Miao had heard these people's praises too many times and had long been immune to them. However, facing Li Shufu's praises, Qin Miao was still somewhat frightened.

So Qin Miao said very humbly: "You deserve the award. That race was just a fluke. Without Hamilton's car starting on the grid, it would have been impossible for me to retain the championship in that race."

"Humility is a good thing, but you are a little too modest. Luck is also part of strength." Li Shufu replied with a smile.

"Let's talk while walking. Today's sun is not very friendly to ladies." After a brief exchange of greetings with Qin Miao, Li Shufu noticed that Qin Yun deliberately avoided today's sun in the shadow of the wall beside the track. sun.

Qin Miao was good at it. Although Qin Miao came here because he hadn't touched a car for too long and was a little itchy and wanted to run two laps on the track. On the other hand, he wanted to pay Qin Yun a favor.

But Qin Miao was quite happy to see Li Shufu on the side of the track. After all, she could make friends with such a big boss.

To put it bluntly, although Qin Miao now has a certain reputation in the competition, in front of people like Li Shufu, Qin Miao can still only be regarded as a little shrimp.

Moreover, Geely has a stake in Aston Martin. Even if one day he can no longer stay at Mercedes-Benz, wouldn't he still have Martin as a backup option?

And I believe that Martin will not refuse the joining of such a powerful driver like Qin Miao.

So Qin Miao knew that she needed to have a good relationship with Li Shufu without anyone reminding her.

Then, led by Qin Yun, a group of people went to the aisle across the track from the last race.

After finding a living room with a good view, everyone sat down around a table.

During this period, the service staff came over and asked the three of them what they wanted to drink. Qin Miao took out his own thermos cup from the backpack he was carrying on his back and said, "Thank you, I'll just drink this."

Then the other two people each ordered some drinks of their own choice.

After everything was ready, Li Shufu was the first to speak.

"Qin Miao, although it's a bit rude to say this now, I also know that young people today don't like the oblique ways that our older generation talks, so I won't use obliques." He sat down and drank a little. After a sip of water, Li Shufu asked directly in front of everyone's surprised eyes: "If Geely becomes Aston Martin's largest shareholder and invites you, will you be willing to join the Aston Martin F1 team?"

Not only Qin Miao was stunned after hearing Li Shufu's question, Qin Yun was also stunned after hearing it.

However, Qin Miao did not give a clear answer on the spot. He just smiled and said: "Director Li is joking. Everyone knows that my contract with Mercedes-Benz lasts for a total of three years. Before the contract ends, I have no way to transfer. "

After hearing Qin Miao's words, Li Shufu seemed to have suddenly realized something. He smiled and said, "Hahaha, look at my mind. I've been too busy recently. I'm really sorry that I forgot about this."

As he said this, he bowed his hands to the others: "Don't mind, everyone."

Qin Miao also smiled.

However, Qin Yun gave Li Shufu a meaningful look.

It seems that with the presence of Qin Miao, many people in China have more ideas about F1.

Maybe many of the plans originally planned for Xu Xutuzhi will have to be advanced because Qin Miao's performance in the F1 arena is getting better and better, because they need to seize the market in advance.

But she didn't say much, just knowing it was enough.

The three people who appeared here at this time were all related to, or even interested in, the racing industry.

So after this episode, everyone's conversation revolved around racing, but most of the time it was Li Shufu and Qin Yun who curiously asked Qin Miao, as an F1 driver, what specific schedule he had for a race weekend and who he needed to meet. .

What is the difference between the driving feel of a racing car and that of an ordinary civilian car?

Anyway, Qin Miao had set aside a day today. Since they were very curious about this, Qin Miao did not hide anything and explained the work process and operation methods of the Mercedes team during the Grand Prix.

Although these things are not too difficult to understand based on the abilities of the two of them, after all, the person who explains them is the strongest Asian F1 driver in the world today, and the first official F1 driver in Chinese history, and the first As a Chinese driver who won the race championship, what Qin Miao said sounded more convincing to them. They listened with great interest and even added a few words from time to time.

The three of them chatted together until early eleven in the morning, and Qin Miao was mainly talking and the two of them were listening.

But at this point in time, the secretary next to Li Shufu came over and told him that he still had a schedule to catch up on.

After nodding, Li Shufu stood up, and Qin Miao and Qin Yun also stood up at the same time.

Li Shufu first shook hands with Qin Yun: "I'm sorry to disturb your arrangement. I hope you can understand this little hobby of mine. You also know that I am usually busy with work. It is really rare to have the opportunity to meet Qin Miao, so I don't want to miss it. This opportunity will cause trouble for you, Xiaoyun."

Qin Yun smiled and shook her head: "It's too unreasonable for you to say this. It doesn't matter."

Li Shufu smiled and nodded, and then arrived at Qin Miao's place.

It's just that unlike Qin Yun, when Li Shufu arrived at Qin Miao's place, he shook hands and then gave him a hug. After they separated, he said with a smile: "In all these years, our country's racing industry has only produced a genius like you. I hope you can Don’t live up to your talent and continue to shine on the court.”

Qin Miao smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, I can do it."

Li Shufu stared into Qin Miao's eyes, then smiled and patted Qin Miao's arm, and then left with his secretary and bodyguard.

However, before Li Shufu left, he exchanged their phone numbers with Qin Miao and told each other that they must contact each other frequently if there was an opportunity in the future.

After Li Shufu left the table, Qin Miao and Qin Yun sat down again.

Qin Miao had relaxed a lot now, and half-leaned on the chair and asked, "How did Director Li come here? And is he really here just to see me?"

Qin Yun smoothed her hair and nodded: "I feel like he really came here just to see you. As for how he knew you were here, to be honest, I don't know.

But one thing I'm really curious about is, if a Chinese team really appears in the paddock, will you choose to stay at Mercedes, which has championship hopes, or go to this domestic team. "

Qin Miao glanced at the other party, and such a picture could not help but appear in his mind.

Geely's wholly-owned acquisition of Aston Martin has sent shockwaves inside and outside the paddock, while domestic car fans are celebrating the New Year with joy and have begun to imagine the scenario of Chinese drivers joining Chinese teams and killing everyone in the F1 arena.

At that time, most fans will definitely hope to join forces with Martin after their contracts end, creating a different kind of red storm in the paddock.With some expectation and a helpless sigh, Qin Miao said: "If there is a chance, Martin like that will definitely be my first choice, and even if it is not my first choice, I will probably be attracted by the car behind me." Fans and fans pushed the choice.”

Qin Yun glanced at Qin Miao in surprise, wondering what the last sentence in his words meant.

"By the way, Director Li made me forget all the important things. Didn't you say you wanted to compete with me? What's the process?" Qin Miao quickly changed the subject.

Seeing Qin Miao mention this matter, Qin Yun also remembered it, but Qin Yun sighed helplessly and said: "The originally arranged time was in the morning, but now it is almost past the time limit, and there are other things on the track in the afternoon. activity."

Qin Miao took out his mobile phone and looked at the time: "Isn't there still an hour left?"

Qin Yun leaned on the stool helplessly: "But it takes time to prepare the car, and the tires have to be heated up again, so there is simply not enough time."

"What car are you preparing today?" Qin Miao was a little curious about which car needs to heat up its tires before it can run on the track. Is it still a formula?

“Two Lynk & Cos are prepared.”

Qin Miao was stunned for a moment. Qin Miao mentioned Lynk & Co, and then thinking about the fact that the tires of the car need to be heated up, Qin Miao asked with some uncertainty: "WTCR's Lynk & Co racing car?"

Qin Yun nodded, and was not surprised that Qin Miao could guess this. It could even be said that there would be a problem if Qin Miao didn't realize that the Lynk & Co he was talking about was the Lynk & Co racing car of WTCR.

Qin Miao, who didn't feel anything at first, began to feel a little pity when he saw Qin Yun nodding.

Although Qin Miao has driven countless racing cars, including top racing cars such as F1, Qin Miao has never been exposed to domestic racing cars, so naturally he wants to experience the various aspects of racing cars produced in his country. ability.

"It's a pity, but it doesn't matter. There will definitely be opportunities in the future." When Qin Miao said this, he thought of Li Shufu who had just left.

After coming back to his senses, Qin Miao said: "If you have the opportunity to come to the UK in the future, and it happens not to be during the Grand Prix, I can take you for a run at the Silverstone Circuit. If you still want to go with me at that time, It’s okay for me to compete.”

Qin Yun nodded after hearing this, but suddenly she seemed to think of something again, and asked curiously: "Then can I try formula racing?"

Qin Miao knew exactly what the formula racing car Qin Yun was talking about was, it was not F3 or F2, let alone Indy car.

Although Qin Yun was talking about a formula car, Qin Miao knew that she was asking if she would have the opportunity to drive an F1 car like Qin Miao.

"To be honest, I really don't know." Qin Miao spread his hands.

But just when Qin Yun was a little disappointed, Qin Miao said again: "But I can help you ask. Of course it's not now. It's only one or two o'clock in the morning in the UK. If I call you at this time, I will be scolded by the factory people." die."

"Is there really hope? Don't arouse my desire and then tell me that it won't work." Qin Yun was a little uneasy.

Qin Miao thought about it seriously: "Then it's better not to have any hopes."

Qin Yun: ...

……

Although there was no way to compete with Qin Yun on the field, a living person cannot be choked to death by urinating, so the two finally finished their meal at noon and played a simulator game for a while in the simulator where they were last played.

After all, he didn't really drive, so Qin Miao didn't take it too seriously when competing with Qin Yun and gave her a lot of water.

So the two of them kept fighting throughout the entire game.

In fact, this kind of gameplay is not interesting to Qin Miao. It is not challenging at all. It is purely for business.

After finally crossing the line, Qin Miao deliberately controlled his crossing position and did not pull Qin Yun too far away, leaving enough face for the opponent.

After finishing the simulator, Qin Miao's trip to the competition was over.

However, before leaving, Qin Miao still called someone from the team's logistics department under Qin Yun's expectant eyes and asked if the team's F1 car could be lent to the driver's friends for a test drive.

The people in the logistics department inquired about Qin Yun's situation in detail, and then reported it again before confirming that it was OK, but the conditions were very harsh.

First of all, you must have sufficient physical fitness, because the F1 car has strong lateral G force. What if you have physical problems due to excessive lateral G force on the track and faint on the car?
At the same time, before driving F1, you have to drive F3 for a long time, then advance to F2, and finally you can drive F1.

This is not a promotion system like Qin Miao and others, it just allows Qin Yun to gradually get used to the intensity of driving a formula car.

And if Qin Yun's performance when driving the F2 is not good enough or the speed is not fast enough, the people at Mercedes-Benz said that they can stop the experience event at any time.

At the same time, and most importantly, Qin Yun had to pay an experience fee of 30 US dollars for this. After all, so many formula cars and staff services cost money.

As for confidentiality agreements and liability exemption agreements, they are nothing in the face of so many harsh conditions.

Putting down the phone, Qin Miao nodded slightly under Qin Yun's anxious and expectant eyes: "Okay."

After Qin Yun received Qin Miao's affirmative reply, she cheered directly in front of Qin Miao, and she jumped up from where she was.

Qin Miao then handed over the phone number of the logistics department staff to Qin Yun. Qin Miao was mainly responsible for pulling the strings in this matter, and Qin Yun needed to handle all subsequent matters by herself.

……

It is worth mentioning that Qin Yun left the afternoon to the rich second generation, letting them drive their cars on the track.

When Qin Miao was about to leave the track, he saw an acquaintance of his, Yu Jialiang.

Yu Jialiang has gained some weight after not seeing him for more than a year, but his overall outline has not changed much.

Apart from this, Qin Miao couldn't see much more. After all, he was about 200 meters away from Yu Jialiang when he saw him.

What's more interesting is that the other party is chatting among a group of his friends and is wearing the uniform of the Mercedes F1 team. (End of chapter)
