How did I become an F1 driver?

Qin Miao knows that he is now "somewhat famous" not only at home, but also abroad.

After all, F1's world champion is somewhat ranked.

As the F1 world champion, I presented the award to the young kart driver, which can be regarded as a kind of motivation.

And in Qin Miao's opinion, this kind of thing is quite interesting, so he naturally has no reason to refuse.

But this kart driver didn't know that Qin Miao was going to give him an award.

So when it was time to give him the award, the female host guided him and said, "Who do you want to come up and give you the award? For example, a certain world champion you like very much."

Since the other party said so, the young driver looked at the female host hesitantly, and then asked tentatively: "Qin Miao?"

The female host smiled and asked, "Are you sure?"

"Yes."

"Okay, let us invite you, the Formula One World Champion, Qin Miao!"

Then, amidst the cheers of the audience, Qin Miao walked out from the backstage with a smile.

When this little driver saw that it was Qin Miao who came up to present him with the award, stars literally started to appear in his eyes.

In fact, in the eyes of this young driver, and even in the eyes of many low-level formula drivers, Qin Miao's results in F1 are average in their opinion.

Because Qin Miao is not the only one who has achieved such results.

The reason why many drivers in low-level formula races admire Qin Miao during this period is because of the year Qin Miao committed massacre and trophy monopoly in F2.

They all drive low-level formula cars. They know how difficult this car is to drive. Naturally, they also know how difficult it is for Qin Miao to complete that feat.

A young man who has just turned 20 and is about to turn 21 is encouraging an 11-year-old child. This scene looks somewhat funny.

But no one can question the value of Qin Miao's encouragement, because he is this year's F1 world champion.

No one can doubt the value of defeating seven-time world champion Hamilton.

After completing the award ceremony, Qin Miao naturally returned to his position.

Next, Qin Miao continued to be distracted, and during the period when Qin Miao was distracted, the award ceremonies for WEC, Formula E, and Le Mans events were completed on the field.

After that, it’s time to award the 2021 Person of the Year.

It is worth mentioning that out of the 10 people nominated for this award, 7 are F1 drivers.

They are: Alonso, Hamilton, Norris, Qin Miao, Kimi, Verstappen, Vettel.

In fact, there is also Jean Todt, who is technically an F1 employee.

The final winner was Lewis Hamilton.

After that, it was time to go through the process of Hamilton taking the stage to receive the award.

After giving an acceptance speech, the old man came down holding a huge trophy.

Qin Miao didn't say anything nonsense at this time, just said congratulations.

The old man looked at the trophy in front of him and sighed: "It's just a consolation prize. With your performance this season, if you finish second, you will also get this prize."

Qin Miao was very surprised. Is there such a thing? Will pork be distributed at the FIA ​​awards ceremony?

In this case... Qin Miao began to pray silently in his heart. He would never get such an award in his life. It would be best if this award would always fall on his teammates.

Next is the WRC awards ceremony.

After the WRC awards ceremony is over, it is the resignation ceremony of FIA President Jean Todt.

Yes, after the 2021 season, Jean Todt will resign as FIA president. After all, Jean Todt is over 75 years old and is a bit too old.

After reaching this stage, even Qin Miao, who had always been fishing, adjusted his sitting posture, tidied his clothes, and his expression became solemn and serious.

Although Qin Miao has not been in contact with Todd for a long time, Qin Miao and Todd are still familiar with each other. When the old man met Qin Miao for the first time, he introduced himself in Chinese with a smooth Chinese accent. Having said that, while Qin Miao was deeply impressed by the other party, his favorable impression also greatly increased.

In the subsequent driver's meeting before basically every grand prix, Todd will be there in person to explain to the drivers some important points to note and the restrictions of the track.

Even if the other party has work to deal with and does not come to have a driver meeting with the car owners, Todd will meet and chat with the driver at least once in a grand prix.

Qin Miao still respected this old man.

Toto and Hamilton on the side looked even more serious, their eyes full of reluctance for the old man.

Halfway through the process, F1 CEO Domenicali came on stage. After chatting for a few words, the other party prepared a gift for Jean Todt.

After the curtain was lifted, it was discovered that there were the helmets of twenty drivers participating in this year's F1 race. Qin Miao's helmet was naturally also inside.

And these helmets are all helmets that have been used during competitions, and their gold content is evident.

And most riders signed their names on the visors of their helmets.

Qin Miao wrote a paragraph in regular script that he had practiced for a long time: [Happy retirement].

Todd was naturally filled with emotion and mixed emotions after seeing it.

After that, the FIA ​​also gave Todd a gift, which was also a helmet, but this helmet was the type of half helmet commonly used by FIA staff on the field, and the helmet also had the signatures of all world champions related to FIA events, which naturally There is also Qin Miao's.

And because of the significance of the F1 sport to the FIA, Qin Miao's name was even signed on the top of the helmet at the request of the FIA ​​staff, which is the white FIA ​​logo, which is the most conspicuous position in the entire helmet.

Finally, after Todd delivered a touching resignation speech, the award ceremony came to an end.

Everyone asked Todt to step down amid applause, and finally the F1 awards began to be awarded.

Before this session started, Qin Miao tidied her clothes and wiped the corners of her mouth with a napkin to be careful not to leave anything on her face when she ate.

Subsequently, clips of this year's 22 grands prix began to be played on the big screen at the scene.

There was the collision between Hamilton and Verstappen's 51G, the offense and defense between Qin Miao and Verstappen in the first game in Bahrain, and Toto who was so angry that he smashed his headphones, just to name a few.

Until the last race, when Qin Miao crossed the finish line in second place, everyone in the Mercedes team cheered and celebrated.

And the celebration scene after Qin Miao stopped the car.

After that, the screen returned to the present.

The hostess said: "What a season, what a battle!"

“Now we’re going to award third place in the FIA ​​Formula 1 World Championship!”

"Please, Max Verstappen!"

Immediately, cheers and applause erupted, and Verstappen, wearing a suit, walked onto the stage.

Verstappen then received the small trophy belonging to third place from the award presenter at the scene.

It can only be said that F1 is indeed on the cards. In other FIA events, only the champion is usually eligible to receive the award, and when receiving the award, a large group of people usually come up to receive the award.

But in F1, there are trophies that can be collected even for second and third place.

However, Verstappen didn't get any chance to make an acceptance speech. After receiving the trophy, he walked off the stage with his trophy.

And judging from the strictness of Verstappen's requirements for himself, even if there is an interview opportunity for this final ranking, he may not want to say anything.

Then there was Hamilton, who came in second. Similarly, Hamilton did not give an interview and stepped down after taking the trophy.

"Next, let's present the award to the FIA ​​Formula 1 World Championship winning team. Let's welcome F CEO Domenicali to the stage again."

After Domenicali came on stage, the male host said: "Let us welcome the chief technical officer of the Mercedes AMG Petronas F1 team, James Allison, who won the team championship!"

Yes, although Toto was also present today, he still chose to let the rest of the team enjoy this honor as before.

Unlike the second and third place, even the first team will be interviewed when receiving the award.

But what made the director very troublesome was that while Allison was answering questions, the camera showed Horner sitting in the audience more than once.

Red Bull Racing can actually pose a threat to Mercedes this season, as can be seen from Verstappen's results. Until the last race, Verstappen had the possibility of winning the Drivers' World Championship.

But not everyone is Verstappen. Red Bull Racing's upgrade route and car design ideas this season are also destined. Red Bull cannot take care of both drivers like Mercedes.

However, Horner's determination was strong enough and he kept smiling throughout the whole process.

After Allison left the stage after the interview, the host invited Todd back to the stage.

Next is the highlight of today's award ceremony.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is a truly talented driver, as bright as the sun and as brilliant as a star."

"This is only his first season in the Formula One family, but in just the first year of his career, he has set numerous historical records."

"His terrifying stability and unparalleled tire protection ability are synonymous with him. His defensive ability that does not match his age is a key factor that will always keep him competitive in the overall standings."

"Now, ladies and gentlemen, please put your hands together and give the warmest applause to the 2021 FIA World Formula One Championship World Champion: Qin Miao!"

In an instant, everyone stood up and burst into applause. Qin Miao also stood up after the host finished speaking, and walked up to the podium from the bottom of the stage with a smile on his face.

When Qin Miao took the stage, the applause never stopped.

After Qin Miao came on stage, many people took the initiative to get up from their seats and came around the stage. They held up their mobile phones or cameras and started taking pictures of Qin Miao.

Jean Todt, who was on the side, was holding the trophy belonging to Qin Miao and looking at Qin Miao with a smile.

After walking to the middle of the stage, with the applause of the audience and the gaze of everyone, Qin Miao carefully held the heavy championship trophy handed over by Todd with one hand as if holding a baby.

Then the two hugged lightly.

Qin Miao cherished it and hugged his own trophy with both hands.

"Well done kid, your talent in F1 is the best I've ever seen. I'm very happy to see such a brilliant driver like you emerge before I retire." Todd took the hand. After receiving the trophy, the other party patted Qin Miao on the shoulder and said seriously.

Qin Miao nodded: "Thank you for your compliment, but I feel this is just luck. At the same time, I also hope you like the helmet we gave you."

“Of course, this is the best gift I have ever received in my life besides my love, and I will treasure them forever.

Well, enjoy the fruits of your victory. "

After saying the last words, Todd took a step back and handed the stage to Qin Miao.

"Thank you."

Nodding towards Todd, Qin Miao looked away from Todd, and then Qin Miao lowered his head and glanced at the trophy in his hand.

The F1 World Champion's trophy is in the shape of a cylinder, with a line rising in a spiral shape on the outside. These line segments represent the history of F1. At intervals, there will be an F1 World Champion's signature on the trophy.

And Qin Miao's name happened to be written on the top of the trophy in Qin Miao's hand, and it was also a Chinese name.

[2021 season: Qin Miao]

He put the trophy in his hand and turned it around. After seeing his name, Qin Miao subconsciously tightened the trophy in his hand.

Then Qin Miao raised the trophy in his hand with great care and enjoyed the cheers from the scene.

Taking the microphone handed over by the staff, the host began the interview with Qin Miao.

"Qin Miao, congratulations on becoming the world champion of the Formula One World Championship. How do you feel now? Especially a few days after the last grand prix."

"To be honest, I still feel that none of this is very real. When I get up in the morning and sit on the bed, I can't help but start thinking, how did I become the world champion?" Qin Miao raised the microphone to his mouth. : "But when you think about it, it feels pretty good. I've achieved my dream, and it feels wonderful."

"We all know that you are now the youngest F1 World Champion in F1 history.

20 years and 285 days is an unprecedented record. Do you think anyone can break your record? "

Qin Miao thought for a while: "There is a saying in our country that there are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the world.

It means that there will always be people in this world who are stronger and more talented than you, so although I don’t want my record to be broken one day, I know there will be one day, but I still Hopefully this day will come later.

Of course, if he really appears, I won’t feel disappointed, because it means that another driver who is stronger than me has appeared on the field. I am looking forward to his performance on the field and looking forward to being able to compete with him. Fight.

But at least now, I am the holder of this record. "

"Before the last race started, we all knew that you received a 10-position grid penalty. Did you worry at that time that you would not be able to win the world championship in the end?"

“Actually, there are, and they are very worried.

After all, anything can happen in F1. All I could do was try my best and avoid fights as much as possible. Whether it was my track engineer or my technician, they were all there before the race started. Reminds me that this game should be about stability.

And in the end, I am standing here, which means that I have done it. Although it is a pity that I did not win the championship in the last game, what is happy is that I finished in second place. "

"Qin Miao, it only took you two years to enter F2 from F1. Do you think your path can be copied?"

"As I said before, there will always be people stronger than me. Although I know it will be difficult to copy my achievements, but yes, there will be."

In fact, Qin Miao can say a lot during the interview, such as thanking others for their cultivation and the support and encouragement of his family behind him.

But Qin Miao was really too excited at this time, so much so that he simply forgot about it. The reason why Qin Miao looks very calm now is simply that the expression management he has developed over the past year has become instinctive. , subconsciously helping him hide his truest emotions.

At this point, the interview is basically over.

"Thank you, thank you Qin Miao for your hard work and dedication this year. So ladies and gentlemen, let us once again give the warmest applause to Qin Miao, the world champion of the 2021 Formula One World Championship."

Amid the applause and cheers from the scene, this year's FIA awards ceremony came to an end.

Finally, after the host also thanked the guests present and sent blessings to all FIA event champions, the award ceremony came to an end.

But the dinner party has just begun.

There will still be performances and waiters will serve the food, but the next scene will not be shown.

After Qin Miao came down holding her trophy, she was quickly surrounded by the crowd.

Everyone they knew or didn't know sent their blessings to Qin Miao.

Qin Miao also responded to the kindness of others with a smile, until Qin Miao came all the way to where he originally sat and sat down.

After sitting down, Qin Miao naturally handed the trophy to Toto: "Feel it?"

Toto was stunned when he saw Qin Miao's action, because almost every driver who won the F1 world championship for the first time treasures his championship trophy. Under normal circumstances, no matter how much he trusts others, he will not trust himself. Let someone else hold the trophy in your hand.

However, Toto did not refuse Qin Miao. He took the trophy handed over by Qin Miao with both hands, and then found Qin Miao's name on the trophy.

"To be honest, when I invited you to join Mercedes-Benz, I never thought that I would see your name on the F1 championship trophy so soon."

Qin Miao smiled and said, "Don't this just show that you have unique vision?"

Toto smiled and shook his head. He did not continue to talk in depth on this topic. Instead, he looked at the trophy in his hand and said, "I thought this year's championship trophy would be heavier."

Of course, after saying that, Toto didn't weigh Qin Miao's trophy in his hands.

He also knew the significance of this trophy to Qin Miao. Qin Miao's willingness to hand it to him only meant that he still had a certain status in Qin Miao's eyes, but he could not make any inappropriate actions.

After reading it, Toto returned the trophy to Qin Miao.

Qin Miao carefully took the trophy back, then held it in his arms and refused to let go. Even if the trophy wrinkled his suit, he didn't care.

Toto smiled at Qin Miao's actions, and then looked at Hamilton aside.

Although Hamilton was not looking at Qin Miao at this time, Toto could see Hamilton's peripheral vision looking this way.

Obviously, Hamilton also hopes that his name will appear on the trophy again.

In fact, before the FIA ​​award ceremony started, Toto thought that Hamilton would not come to attend the award ceremony.

After all, no matter how you say it, a seven-time champion lost to a fledgling boy. If you say this, people will subconsciously feel that Hamilton is old and can't even outrun a fledgling teammate.

But Hamilton came directly, which really surprised Toto.

After the internal party started, Toto found Hamilton. On the one hand, Toto really wanted to comfort Hamilton. After all, Hamilton fell into the hands of his teammates. As a boss who has worked with Hamilton for so long, he had to do anything. A few words of comfort.

On the other hand, Toto was also a little curious as to why Hamilton chose to attend this banquet.

So after the banquet started, Toto came to Hamilton who was drinking alone.

"Boss." Hamilton called after seeing Toto coming.

"Good evening, Lewis." Toto also greeted Hamilton, and then Toto said: "I thought you wouldn't come."

"So you were surprised when you saw me?"

"A little bit indeed."

Hamilton took a sip of the red wine in his glass, then looked at Qin Miao, who was holding his F1 world championship trophy to show off to Leclerc and Norris, and said: "Actually, I am not convinced this season."

"Oh?" Toto became interested.

"I feel that I am no worse than Qin Miao. I even feel that I am still better than Qin Miao just like at the beginning of the season." Hamilton said: "I am confident that my condition will not decline for at least two years. , so I think it’s possible for me to win it back next season.”

When he said these words, Toto noticed that Hamilton's eyes were full of unwillingness to admit defeat. It is hard to imagine that this kind of look would appear in the eyes of a 36-year-old Hamilton who is almost middle-aged.

But Toto smiled after seeing it: "I'm glad to see that you didn't lose your confidence because of a defeat. Although I don't want to see any too fierce fighting between you and Qin Miao on the field, but I do want you both to have speed, and there’s nothing wrong with competing properly.”

Hamilton nodded: "Yes... I came here because I wanted to see Qin Miao accept the award and feel the feeling of being a loser again. At least, I don't want to sit down there anymore next season."

"I'm very happy that you think so, and the team will try its best to provide you both with a competitive enough car."

"Thank you boss."

"Well have a good time, I see Steiner waving to me."

"Then, goodbye." (End of chapter)
