How did I become an F1 driver?

At the same time, on the other side, after Yu Jialiang returned to his friends, he did not start looking forward to the new F1 season like others.

Instead, he took out his mobile phone and started flipping through the photos of himself and Qin Miao just now.

Although these photos cannot prove that he knew Qin Miao before, these two photos and the WeChat contact information on his mobile phone are enough to prove that he and Qin Miao know each other.

"Ahem." After coughing lightly and attracting the attention of others, Yu Jialiang said with a smile: "I sent a photo to the group, you guys can see if it looks like P's."

"What are you doing?" Although he was complaining, someone still took out his mobile phone.

"What the hell?"

"what?"

"No? When did it happen?"

On his mobile phone, Yu Jialiang sent a photo of himself and Qin Miao. The background was the race track, and from the corner of the photo, he could see three commentators from Five Star Sports surrounded by the crowd.

As for P? No one had thought of this possibility.

"Just now I was wondering why the three commentators from Five Star Sports were fully armed. What the hell is he Qin Miao???" A man slowly squatted on the ground with his head in his hands, his face full of regret and Disbelief and regret.

"Yu Jialiang, you really deserve to die! That person is Qin Miao, why didn't you tell me in advance?!" Some became so angry that they pounced on Yu Jialiang and tried to choke him.

Yu Jialiang hurriedly smiled and hid, and while smiling and spreading his hands, he said: "I have told you before that I know Qin Miao. You didn't believe it at first, but I guessed his identity the moment I saw him. After confirming, I asked him for a photo.”

"No? Are you serious?"

In any case, Yu Jialiang felt comfortable seeing his friends' expressions of confusion, shock, disbelief and regret.

For people like them, sometimes happiness is so simple and simple.

……

The next day, Qin Miao went to record the variety show. Because of Qin Miao's identity, throughout the recording process, both the staff and the stars were very polite and respectful to Qin Miao.

This is not incomprehensible. People like Qin Miao, who rely on their strength to make a living, and celebrities, who make a living on their faces and fans, are completely different from each other.

Qin Miao spent the third day in the studio prepared by CCTV for Qin Miao.

After working around for three days, Qin Miao finally completed most of the work he had come to Shanghai this time.

At seven o'clock in the morning on the fourth day, Zhou Guanyu woke up and finished washing. He originally wanted to go to the gym and ask Qin Miao what he was going to eat this morning. Instead, he went to order takeout.

Then Zhou Guanyu was very surprised to find that Qin Miao hadn't gotten up yet.

Zhou Guanyu scratched his head in confusion, because after knowing Qin Miao for so long, Zhou Guanyu's impression was that Qin Miao had always been a very self-disciplined person. Zhou Guanyu had never seen Qin Miao lying in bed.

After searching at home for a while, he found Qin Miao in Qin Miao's room. Qin Miao hadn't even gotten up yet.

Although he was a little surprised, Zhou Guanyu did not disturb Qin Miao.

Qin Miao didn't get up until eleven o'clock in the morning.

While Zhou Guanyu was looking at the R&D plan and development progress of the new season car sent by the Arrow Racing Team, he curiously asked Qin Miao: "What time did you go to bed last night?"

Qin Miao opened the refrigerator at Zhou Guanyu's home and took a look inside. He took out a bottle of milk and replied, "I went to bed at 11 o'clock."

"Then why did you get up so late today?"

“No work today, let’s get some sleep.

Also, Qiu Meng will come to Shanghai in two days, so it’s rare for me to sleep in. "

Zhou Guanyu was very surprised: "I remember that the relationship between you two is very good. What do you mean by this? Qiu Meng doesn't want you to sleep in?"

Qin Miao sat across from Zhou Guanyu and said helplessly: "The word good relationship is not used correctly. It should be used to describe friends. Qiu Meng and I should be described as emotionally stable or harmonious."

After correcting Zhou Guanyu's mistake, Qin Miao explained: "That's not the problem. Our relationship has always been harmonious. The main reason is that after we got married, she and I stayed together 365 days out of 300 days a year. Although It's fun to be with her, but you always feel a sense of constraint.

How can I describe this feeling...I don't know how to explain it to you.

In short, until you find someone who truly loves you and is willing to spend your life, you can't understand it, just like I did before. "

"Aren't you two not married?"

"Can you please stop making excuses?"

"Okay!" Zhou Guanyu raised his hands to express surrender: "You continue."

Qin Miao rubbed his brow: "It's just those things that you know are bad for your health, but you always want to do them, and you feel very happy after doing them."

“Like, staying up late fishing?”

Qin Miao snapped her fingers and pointed at Zhou Guanyu: "That's right. But after you have a wife, it will be inconvenient for you to do it.

Besides that, there’s also playing games all night long,”

Zhou Guanyu:? ? ?

"I thought you could name some activities that stood out to me, such as going to a bar for a night of fun, or booking the entire bar, riding a motorcycle in the streets at night, or going to Macau for a day."

Qin Miao glanced at Zhou Guanyu: "I'm not stupid. If Qiu Meng catches me, she will at most complain about it. Even after she apologizes, she won't be angry anymore. But if it's like you said, I'll do it." I don’t even need her to do anything about that kind of thing. If I tell my mother, she can come to Shanghai with a feather duster and give me a beating.”

"Then why did you get up so late today?"

"I'm going to stay up all night and play games all day long! So I need to be energetic."

Zhou Guanyu's mouth twitched.

"You are awesome!"

It is hard to imagine that after a world champion has seen the unevenness and splendor of the world, all he wants to do when he returns to an environment that makes him comfortable is to go to the dock to order French fries.

At least Zhou Guanyu admired Qin Miao's hobby of returning to nature.

If he were put into Qin Miao's current state, Zhou Guanyu couldn't say that he would play songs every night, but at least during this winter break, he would definitely not stay in one place. Basically, he would play and experience everything. Go try it again.

Qin Miao kept his word. In the morning, Qin Miao worked out at Zhou Guanyu's home as usual, and gave Zhou Guanyu classes as usual. Then he started live broadcasting and playing games at three o'clock in the afternoon.

At the beginning, fans in Qin Miao's live broadcast room chatted and slapped with Qin Miao normally, and posted barrages to interact with Qin Miao in the live broadcast room.

However, as the time came later in the evening, and after the 10 p.m. time when Qin Miao normally went offline, the audience in Qin Miao's live broadcast room noticed something was wrong.

【Um? overtime today? 】

[Why can’t you get below this point? 】

Then in the middle of the night, early in the morning, until eight o'clock in the morning, Qin Miao was still playing CSGO with high intensity.

The audience in Qin Miao's live broadcast room was immediately stunned.

[Shit, you were playing CSGO before I went to bed. Why are you still here when I wake up? 】

[Isn’t your addiction too great? 】

[I thought Qin Miao was a very awesome world champion, but now I can see that he is just an Internet addicted boy like me]

【Have you started to let yourself go completely after the holiday? 】

[Please, go to bed quickly, I can’t stand it anymore]

[When Toto finds out, he will probably have to call Qin Miao overnight to scold him]

[No, Norris has stayed up all night playing games.]

[Prince Mei Ben, is Toto willing to scold you? I guess it’s gentle persuasion]

[Can Nuobao and Qin Miao compare? 】

After staying up all night, Qin Miao didn't feel any discomfort. He even felt that he could score another wave of points.

Just when Qin Miao won another game and was still a little unfinished and ready to go back to the last 100 million before sleeping, he saw the barrage about Toto.

After clicking his tongue, Qin Miao finally stopped.

This is definitely not because Qin Miao is afraid of Toto. Toto has always been kind to Qin Miao and Hamilton in the team. Qin Miao did this simply because he was a little tired.

That’s right, I’m just tired!

After talking to the 20,000 viewers in his live broadcast room who were still watching his live broadcast, Qin Miao stretched himself and went offline to sleep.

That's right, despite staying up all night, the number of viewers in Qin Miao's live broadcast room was no less than 20,000.

On the one hand, Qin Miao is so popular. When Qin Miao started his live broadcast last night, almost 13 viewers poured into his live broadcast room.

On the other hand, Qin Miao's games are as entertaining as his racing, especially the sniper rifle.

The F1 driver's reaction speed is very fast, and Qin Miao is still young. Even if he stays up all night, he can often hit the nerve gun that makes the barrage full of question marks.

Although Qin Miao doesn't like to talk much during live broadcasts, and he doesn't thank gifts. He only waits until he is dead to answer the barrage questions. What stands out is that he is perfunctory and self-entertaining.

But you can’t stand Qin Miao’s live broadcast and it’s so cool to watch.

In short, after Qin Miao said that he was going to cancel the broadcast, the audience in his live broadcast room not only did not have any unfinished thoughts, but also expressed:

[Damn it, I’m finally willing to broadcast it]

[The anchor almost killed the audience]

【Finally! 】

……

Had a comfortable sleep

However, Qin Miao's biological clock was not changed, and Qin Miao just slept for a whole morning and regained his energy. I can only say that it is good to be young, and after staying up all night, I feel like I am fine.

In the afternoon, Qin Miao tutored Zhou Guanyu in practice as usual.

However, when Zhou Guanyu ran the simulator by himself, Qin Miao used his mobile phone to browse the news about other F1 teams during this period, and found a piece of news that Qin Miao was very concerned about.

[Geely has increased its stake in Aston Martin to 17%, and there are reports that Geely is discussing the possibility of acquiring more shares with Stroll. 】

Qin Miao originally thought that after Mr. Li talked with him, Geely would make bigger moves, but judging from the current situation, it seems that the old Stroll does not want to sell Aston Martin's shares.

Qin Miao felt that he had a part of the credit for this, and he was even not ashamed to say so. Qin Miao felt that he still played a relatively important role here.

Because of his performance last season, he kicked open the door of F1 in China.

This year's F1 ratings have soared by 20%, and almost 1% of them are domestic fans. Therefore, the valuations of all F teams have increased to varying degrees.

The valuation of Mercedes-Benz Racing Team is 9% higher than last season.

It is not incomprehensible that the old Stroll does not want to sell the team like this, or the old Stroll is preparing to sell it at a price, waiting for the valuation of the Martin Racing Team to reach a maximum point, and then sell it again.

But these have little to do with Qin Miao. He is now curious about whether Geely will enter the market and when.

Apart from this, Qin Miao found no other useful information. Most of the information on the Internet now is just random information.

Why is Red Bull's car development in the new season encountering difficulties? Ferrari is about to rise next season. Next season Williams' Latifi may follow Bottas's old path and be taken down with one year left on his contract.

So after looking for a while and not finding any valuable information, Qin Miao put away her phone and got up to exercise.

Another day passed and Qiu Meng finally arrived in Shanghai.

When Qiu Meng saw Qin Miao again, Qin Miao was in good condition, not at all sluggish as he had stayed up all night yesterday.

However, after Qiu Meng came out of the airport, she gave Qin Miao a meaningful look, which made Qin Miao look like she was covered in cold sweat.

It is worth mentioning that Qiu Meng was the only one who came to Shanghai this time.

Qin Miao originally planned to take his father-in-law, mother-in-law and mother to Shanghai for a few days during this period.

However, Qiu Meng's parents still refused because the current environment was inappropriate. The second elder made it clear that they did not want to cause trouble to the country, while the mother was more straightforward. She had used up her annual leave and had to go to work.

In fact, it's not just Qin Miao, Qiu Meng also persuaded Qin Miao's mother that based on Qin Miao's current income situation, he has basically achieved economic freedom, and it doesn't matter what he does, he can just quit his job and enjoy happiness.

But Qin Miao's mother refused because she would be bored without working.

Qin Miao and Qiu Meng had no choice but to respect and understand this.

After Qiu Meng arrived, Qin Miao's work and rest, which had almost completely let go, naturally returned to normal.

On the day she arrived in Shanghai, Qiu Meng also went through the house transfer procedures, and she had another property under her name.

Then this girl excitedly went to find a decoration company to design her new home. She seemed to be particularly concerned about these things, whether it was the house in Monaco or the one in Shanghai.

The key is that this girl is serious about it. The houses she designed are indeed very good. At least the friends who came to Qin Miao's house were very surprised when they found out that Qiu Meng designed this house alone, and they all praised it one by one. After all, Norris even regretted saying that he would have known better if he had asked Qiumeng to help design which of his houses in Monaco.

In short, Qiu Meng went to see the house and asked the housekeeper for the floor plan. After that, she happily returned to Zhou Guanyu's house and started using CAD on the computer to draw the design drawings for the house decoration.

Moreover, Qiu Meng used her CAD proficiency to make Qin Miao and Zhou Guanyu stunned.

However, Qin Miao and Qiu Meng did not stay in Shanghai for too long. Although Qin Miao is still in the winter break, he will risk being recognized after not touching a racing car for a month. Take the risk out of trying to go to the track and have a blast.

Having not touched an F1 car for such a long time, Qin Miao naturally felt a little itchy. Her neck felt uncomfortable and she needed a little G force to loosen her muscles and bones.

So Qiu Meng came to Shanghai for four days. Qin Miao took her to the Oriental Pearl Tower and then to Disneyland. After that, the two returned to the UK together.

The FIA ​​has very strict regulations during this period, and all teams are unable to test the 2022 cars. Therefore, during the period after returning to the factory, Qin Miao mainly checked for deficiencies with the help of team analysts.

Of course, Qin Miao also did not forget to enjoy two laps at Silverstone in an old Mercedes F1 car that was allowed.

The team did not refuse Qin Miao's request. They were even happy to see that Qin Miao still had high enthusiasm and interest in racing after staying in the paddock for a year.

After running one round, Qin Miao just wanted to say that the speed of this W11 is a bit unbelievable.

On Silverstone's T9, Qin Miao casually passed the full throttle, and at the highest point, he directly unleashed a lateral G force of 5.6G.

That's right, Qin Miao is playing one of Mercedes' most dominant cars this time: the W11.

It can be summed up in one word: cool.

After getting over his addiction, Qin Miao returned to normal work.

But the main thing is to work with the team's analysts to watch the videos of Qin Miao's qualifying and race last season, and analyze whether there are any problems with Qin Miao's driving and how to solve them.

At this time, someone will ask, shouldn't it be most appropriate to do this kind of thing after a grand prix is ​​over?

I had just finished running, and all the details of the track were still fresh in my memory, so it was time to correct my mistakes.

But F1 is not a traditional sports event. There are too many F1 Grand Prix events, more than in a year.

With such a tight schedule, there is simply no extra time left for the drivers to review their performance this week one by one.

Usually after a grand prix is ​​finished, everyone in the team immediately starts preparing for the next grand prix.

It’s not just the team staff who are too busy, but also the drivers, so it’s not that they don’t want to review the results at that time, but that they really don’t have the time.

Therefore, Qin Miao and the others started to do this at this time.

In addition to these, Qin Miao also began to help the team shoot some promotional videos with the support of the team, including advertisements required by the team's sponsors.

These are Qin Miao's obligations, and he has no reason to refuse.

At the same time, Qin Miao is also helping the team in the team's factory to develop and research the car for the new season.

Anyway, before the official start of next season, the team can make adjustments to the car at any time.

Of course, it is limited to adjustments to some small details and new aerodynamic components. The general direction has basically been set, and there is no possibility of modification.

At the same time, during this period, various teams have also successively announced the release time of their own car livery for the new season.

Although Mercedes has not yet announced when the W13 livery will be released, everyone inside knows that the Mercedes team has set the release date for the new car on February 2th.

At the same time, the livery of Mercedes-Benz's new car this season has also returned to its original silver color, evolving from Black Arrow to Silver Arrow.

While the exterior of the body is mainly silver, the original color of carbon fiber is used at the bottom to achieve weight reduction, and the green color of the team's title sponsor Petronas is used as a transition in the middle.

In terms of design aesthetics, Mercedes-Benz still has something good, and this set of paint is very good-looking.

At the same time, in order to distinguish the two Mercedes drivers, the exterior paint of Hamilton and Qin Miao's racing cars are also slightly different.

The position where the camera is installed above the roll cage of Qin Miao's racing car is red, which complements the red INEOS advertisement below the racing car.

At the same time, the outer edges of the wings on both sides of the new front wheel are also painted red.

And Hamilton is yellow.

It can be regarded as one of the ways to distinguish the two Mercedes drivers on the field.

1 month 24 day.

Qin Miao came to the motorcade normally that day.

When the Mercedes-Benz team member at the front desk saw Qin Miao come in, he first smiled and said hello to Qin Miao as usual, and then handed an envelope in his hand to Qin Miao.

"Qin Miao, here is a letter from Tuotuo to you."

Qin Miao was a little surprised. Toto usually called him directly when something happened. Why did Toto send him a letter today?

But Qin Miao still took it, and while taking it apart, Qin Miao asked: "Why did Toto give me this?"

"Toto can't come to the factory these two days because he has a business trip, so he asked me to deliver this letter for him.

As for what to do for you specifically, I'm sorry, I don't know. "The front desk said with a shrug.

Qin Miao didn't care very much, after all, it was just a casual question.

After the letter was opened, Qin Miao was surprised to find that it was a leave request from Tuotuo.

There was also a letter.

The general content is that Toto knows that Chinese people have the custom of celebrating the Spring Festival. Considering that the Lunar New Year happens to be the time when Mei Ben goes to work, Toto directly granted Qin Miao half a month's leave to return to China for the New Year.

To be honest, Qin Miao was quite touched when he received this text message. At least from this point, it can be seen that Toto has always been paying attention to him. At the same time, he also knows some domestic holidays. At least he knows that the domestic Spring Festival holiday time is quite long.

But what hurts is that Qin Miao and Qiu Meng have already agreed not to go back to celebrate the Spring Festival this year, and they have even expressed anger with their families in advance.

Before the Chinese New Year, both of them will pick up their parents at home.

Although Qin Miao's house is not big, there are still three rooms for people to sleep in.

Even if it is not suitable, so many hotels in Monaco cannot be occupied?

In short, Qin Miao accepted Toto's kindness, but it was of little use.

After clicking his tongue with some pity, Qin Miao nodded to the staff to express his gratitude, and then took his breakfast to his office in the team's administration building.

After sitting down in the office, Qin Miao did not go to the team factory to work immediately. After all, as a driver, Qin Miao has a lot of free time. During this time, his coming to the factory is strictly considered overtime, so when will he go to the factory? It's entirely up to him.

Qin Miao was still thinking at this time, should she not let her mother and the others come over and go back to celebrate the New Year? At least it’s fun to celebrate the New Year at home, and you can also take the kids from the neighborhood to set off firecrackers. (End of chapter)
