How did I become an F1 driver?

"This is simply because the team was concerned and caused chaos." After all, he was not the party involved, so Qin Miao could look at the matter from a relatively objective perspective.

“The team is thinking that if they don’t pit, Hamilton will also be overtaken by Perez and Leclerc behind him due to tire failure, and may even be overtaken by Gasly, or even more seriously, he may even have a puncture. "Qin Miao analyzed: "So instead of letting Hamilton lose so many positions, it is better to give up two positions directly and keep Hamilton's fifth base. In this way, Hamilton will have a brand new set of semi-wet tires to fight for. In a moment, maybe with Hamilton's strength, he would catch up.

But it backfired because the semi-wet tires overheated too easily under the track conditions at the time.

But we can’t say that the team strategy team’s idea at that time was wrong, we can only say that the timing was wrong. "

Barber said: "But obviously Hamilton doesn't think so. He feels that if there is no pit stop, he can get a better place in this race."

Qin Miao crossed his arms and said, "Who knows, things have already happened. Whoever says it is right, it just depends on how Toto handles this matter in the end."

"Then Qin Miao, what do you think?"

"Me? I'm lying on the sofa watching."

……

Soon, the results of this matter were announced, and it was considered the responsibility of the Mercedes strategy team.

However, because Mercedes-Benz implements the principle of no blame internally, even if the blame is divided, Mercedes-Benz will not impose any punishment on the strategy team.

But at least it gave Hamilton, who was in a furious state, an explanation.

After resting for a while, Qin Miao attended the post-race press conference with Verstappen and Perez and looked ahead to the United States Grand Prix.

After the work was over, Toto happened to be returning to England, so Qin Miao naturally took Toto's plane without any psychological burden.

It's really cool to take advantage of the boss's flight to do your own thing.

And Toto is not the kind of boss who is very dignified in front of his subordinates. Even when facing Qin Miao, Toto always shows a pleasant character.

Give Qin Miao a sense of generosity that everything can be discussed.

So Qin Miao was quite relaxed when in front of Toto.

But Barber on the other side didn't think so. He was very reserved all the way back to England.

There's nothing you can do about it, Qin Miao is a really capable person, and the boss likes him, so he can be a little more arrogant in front of the boss.

The boss will not feel any dissatisfaction with this, and even thinks that this is what geniuses should be like.

As for Barber, he is just a migrant worker with professional skills. Apart from his relationship with Qin Miao, he has no other strengths.

In Toto's eyes, Barber is the kind of person who can be replaced at any time, so he doesn't dare to do anything overstepping in front of Toto.

After returning to the UK, he declined Toto's offer to send him back to Brackley. Qin Miao also knew that Toto was actually not on the same path as him. After the game, Toto and Qin Miao both wanted to return as soon as possible. Home and family reunion.

Moreover, Qin Miao also had someone to pick her up, so naturally there was no need to bother with entrusting her.

After saying goodbye to Toto and Barber at the airport, Qin Miao, wearing a mask, left the airport in a very low-key manner.

After leaving the station, I found the person I had been thinking about day and night in the parking lot.

"You're back?" The smiling girl looked at the boy standing in front of her, her eyes full of longing and love for the person in front of her.

Although Qin Miao was wearing a mask, it was obvious from his eyes that he was also smiling.

"Well, I'm back."

"Then go home. I have prepared the dishes. I will make you your favorite braised beef and spicy and sour chicken offal today. These ingredients are not easy to find." As she said this, Qiu Meng was about to reach out and take the two pieces from Qin Miao's hand. suitcase.

One of the suitcases contained Qin Miao's clothes and computer, and the other was Qin Miao's championship trophy after winning the Turkish Grand Prix.

However, Qin Miao did not let Qiu Meng take it. Instead, he picked it up and put it in the trunk of the AMG GT.

Although the AMG GT is a sports car, the trunk space is still quite large. It is no problem to fit two large suitcases, otherwise Qiu Meng would not have driven the car here.

While putting his luggage, Qin Miao asked in surprise, "Really? Then go back quickly, I'll drive!"

"Don't worry, I just prepared the dishes and haven't started cooking yet."

"Then go back quickly."

After arriving home, Qin Miao felt relaxed.

Qin Miao went to take a bath, while Qiu Meng put on an apron and went to cook.

During dinner, Qin Miao and Qiu Meng inevitably talked about buying a house in Monaco.

Qin Miao also has the bonuses from the team after winning this race, as well as the bonuses from system tasks. In addition, the bonuses from the previous games have been recorded. At this time, Qin Miao has a more sufficient budget to buy a house and decorate it. .

You can choose a larger house with a better location.

However, Qiu Meng still thinks that the house is enough. After that, decoration and furniture purchase will be a big expense. The key is to have a deposit of 50 euros in Monaco.

Qin Miao just gave an opinion. Since Qiu Meng now has ideas, Qin Miao didn't say much.

But the chat ended here, Qiu Meng talked to Qin Miao about the landlord again.

Although Qiu Meng has not appeared in many TV broadcasts, as Qin Miao's girlfriend, Qiu Meng has not never appeared in the public eye.

So when contacting the landlord, Qiu Meng was recognized by the landlord. After it was determined that Qin Miao was going to buy his house, the landlord would give Qin Miao a life or death discount.

The key point is that the other party is not a fan of Mercedes or Qin Miao. He simply knows that Qin Miao has a good relationship with Leclerc, and he is a fan of Leclerc.

Why don't you make a bastard out of it if it's cheap? Moreover, this is the time when Qin Miao's family needs money.

However, Qiu Meng still asked Qin Miao to take a photo of him and Leclerc the next time he saw Leclerc, and then the two of them would sign the photo and give it to the landlord.

The other party may not care about the money and just give you a discount.

But Qin Miao can't take advantage of others without knowing what's good and bad.

Since the other party is the kind of person who can ignore his own financial gains and losses for the driver he likes, then he specially prepares a single photo for the other party, and this photo also has the signatures of Qin Miao and Leclerc.

This thank you gift should be enough.

Qin Miao had no objection and kept the matter in mind.

After finishing the meal, Qin Miao turned on his long-lost computer and started the live broadcast.

After a while, a large number of viewers poured into Qin Miao's live broadcast room.

[Grandpa, the anchor you follow has started broadcasting! 】

[Heartless man, you still know how to come back] [Who are you?How did it appear in my watch list]

[Congratulations on winning the championship, Qin Miao]

[Today’s race was really awesome, from start to finish]

[Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu He started a live broadcast for us right after returning home from the race. He really made me cry to death."

Nanjing Yiba sent a sound effect plane: "Have you finally remembered the password for your live broadcast room?"

This sound effect airplane is a bit like the SC of Station B, except that Douyu’s official live broadcast software will be released on the host’s computer, and there are dialects and male and female options to choose from.

Qin Miao naturally also heard the content of this sound effect aircraft.

He smiled and replied: "That's not the case. Technology is so advanced now. Even if I don't have to remember it in my head, the computer will help me write down the account password."

Just when the audience thought this was Qin Miao's answer, Qin Miao kept saying in a non-surprising manner: "I mainly pretended not to be cool enough after I won the championship, so I started a live broadcast to see the comments that praised me. ."

As soon as Qin Miao finished speaking, the barrage in his live broadcast room paused, and then question marks all over the screen rolled like raindrops on the left side of Qin Miao's screen where the barrage was displayed.

[When normal people encounter this kind of situation, they usually secretly use their mobile phones to peek at others praising themselves. It would be better for you to watch it openly, right? 】

[Ah ah ah, Qin Miao, please take back what you just said, your filter with me is broken! 】

[Oooh, why is my husband like this? 】

[Get out of here, why are the rice circles polluting this place?]

[I think Qin Miao is doing this well, at least it’s true]

[Qin Miao has always been quite real, right? When playing CSGO, it’s not uncommon to see him vomiting sweet things when meeting stupid teammates]

Of course, after hearing Qin Miao's words, some people actually praised Qin Miao for today's game in the live broadcast room.

[One thing to note, you ran really well today. I just took a look at your car video. Even though it was raining, I didn’t see any obvious mistakes on your part throughout the race.]

[I would like to call you number one in the paddock in terms of stability and tire protection, but it’s a pity that I didn’t see you run the entire race on semi-wet tires]

[O'Connell ran the entire race on a set of semi-wet tires, and the Kevlar fiber on his right front tire was worn out. I just don't know if Qin Miao ran the entire race on a set of semi-wet tires, the tires would be worn out. What kind of]

"I don't know, but the wear of my tires should not be as severe as O'Connell's. There will still be some tire skin left." Qin Miao replied: "And this choice is a bit too risky for me. Originally, you When you can finish the race safely and securely, it’s just one more pit stop, why should you bear the risk of having to puncture a tire and retire from the race?”

"Okay, let's not talk about these unhappy things." Qin Miao waved his hand: "Let's all have fun together, let's start CSGO!"

【"unhappy"】

[Are you not happy that you won the championship? 】

[This guy pretends to be a bit stiff]

[But you have to admit, you were still tricked by him]

[Yes, yes, you won the championship, everything you say is right]

……

Next, Qin Miao spent the entire night playing games.

After working so hard for so many days, I finally have some rest.

The good news is that the next US Grand Prix will not be held until two weeks later, so Qin Miao will have a long rest.

But it's not all good news.

According to old employees within the Mercedes team, it seems that due to the special status of the US station, almost all teams will go to the US station in advance to participate in activities every year to promote the F1 sport.

Although F1 is well-known around the world, Americans basically ignore some international competitions because of their national status. What stands out is that they only entertain themselves.

In F1, they have the Indy car as their benchmark, and compared to those, they prefer the pure violent machine of NASCAR.

But they are both racing cars, and there are some similarities between the two sports.

Therefore, the FIA ​​wants to use marketing methods as much as possible to pry open the wallets of American audiences and make more Americans like the sport of F1.

After all, Americans are really rich.

At this time, some people will say, isn't it the same in China? Why doesn't F1 bother so much in China?

In fact, in 04, F1 held the Grand Prix in China, but there was really no soil for racing in China.

Perhaps most people have heard of the sport of F1 and know what an F1 car looks like, but no one deliberately understands F1.

In Europe, the F1 Grand Prix is ​​full and even sold out. In China, during the main race of a grand prix weekend, some of the more remote stands are not full, let alone the grass. Basically, no one goes there. .

The FIA ​​has long wanted to expand the audience of the F1 sport in the Chinese market, but F1 in China is not accustomed to it.

Of course, with Qin Miao, things are different now.

The number of subscribers on F1TV has increased significantly after Qin Miao's first race in F2.

Although this number is not large, it is self-evident what it means.

And as Qin Miao's performance in F2 gets better and better, the number of subscriptions and curious looks from that ancient country are also increasing.

When Mercedes announced at the end of 20 that it would sign a contract with Qin Miao next season and give Qin Miao a driver's seat next season, Mercedes' stock price rose by six percentage points, and F1's attention increased greatly.

And as time goes by, the price of F1's domestic broadcast rights has also begun to skyrocket.

The FIA ​​is now confident that as long as the Chinese race is held next season, it will definitely be hard to get a ticket for the race at that time.

At that time, F1 began to develop vigorously in China.

There have even been discussions within the FIA. If the revenue from the Chinese station is sufficient, they would not mind breaking the rules and setting up a second grand prix in the Chinese station.

After all, after Liberty Media Group takes over F1, they will have trouble with everyone, but they will not have trouble with money.

Closer to home, that is to say, for this week’s Grand Prix, Qin Miao needs to go to the United States to participate in various activities on Tuesday.

Qin Miao had no choice but to accept this. In the past, Qin Miao was strong-willed when he had no desires, but now because of financial needs, he also needs to get busy.

Moreover, Qin Miao can earn money by participating in these activities. A marketing activity starts with at least US$7.

ps. If there is no status today, there will only be [-]. (End of chapter)
