How did I become an F1 driver?

Although Ferrari has always made some operations in competitions or other times in recent seasons that make Tiefuji's eyes dark, they are, after all, a legendary team in F1.

respect! child.

Of course, Toto just thought about it in his mind and did not delve into this matter.

After all, strictly speaking, Ferrari's current reputation is not very good, and they brought it upon themselves.

Focusing more on the wall in front of him, Toto sighed for a while.

"Actually, I took a fancy to you in your first race in F2." Standing next to Qin Miao, Toto suddenly talked about what happened when Qin Miao was still in F1 two years ago.

Qin Miao looked at Toto in surprise: "So early?"

Toto nodded, then turned to Qin Miao and asked: "I remember your second place in that race was Ilot, right? In the first F1 race of your career, you were 2 seconds ahead of your opponent. Winning the championship gave me a big shock at the time.”

Qin Miao thought for a while before shrugging and said: "To be honest, I was actually isolated by most of the F2 drivers at the beginning. Except for Zhou Guanyu, I basically had no friends in F2. What you just said about Ilot made me instantly I didn't even remember who it was.

Even if I think about it now, I don't remember exactly how many championships I won over him. "

The corners of Toto's mouth twitched. He now had reason to suspect that Qin Miao was just showing off in front of him.

When I was a driver, after I won the first regional kart race, I still remember exactly who participated in that race and how many seconds I led the second place behind me to win the championship.

Now he can even recall his mood at that time.

Although the F2 race championship is not as valuable as the F1 race championship, it is still an extremely dazzling achievement for a rookie driver who has just entered F2.

Many professional F2 drivers may never be able to touch that glory in this life, but Qin Miao takes it so lightly.

Although compared with the glory that Qin Miao has received now, his achievements at that time are indeed not enough...

He shook his head and did not continue the conversation on this topic.

This kind of monster-like genius cannot be understood by ordinary people like me. Just get used to it.

Toto comforted himself in his heart.

After admiring Qin Miao's trophy, Toto asked Qin Miao for one of his helmets this season.

Qin Miao seems to have a kind of magic power that will attract children's liking.

In the past two seasons, as long as a child appears in the live broadcast footage, the child will most likely be wearing a Qin Miao hat or a Mercedes team uniform.

Toto's son is one of them. He also likes Qin Miao very much. When he was at home, he always wanted Toto to help find Qin Miao to sign his autograph.

He even gave Toto his favorite W12 model.

But Toto was busy and complicated due to the internal affairs of the Mercedes team during this period. After all, the competitiveness of the Mercedes car this season is different from the past.

Toto himself was overwhelmed with dealing with the team's affairs, trying to appease the team's employees and communicating with sponsors and the team's parent company, Daimler.

So I didn't care about it. Even if I remembered it after work came to an end, Qin Miao, who worked less hours than Toto, had already got off work.

So during this period, Toto usually took home posters or hats signed by Qin Miao.

Qin Miao usually finds a time to issue this kind of things in batches, so the value and desirability are naturally greatly reduced.

So Toto didn't find the opportunity to ask Qin Miao to sign his son's racing model.

Although he has arrived at Qin Miao's house now, Toto has forgotten to bring his son's racing model. After all, Qin Miao's departure from the team is obviously more important than his son's model.

But after all, if his son knew about it, he would probably make a big fuss again, so Toto was going to ask Qin Miao for his spare helmet.

It is worth mentioning that Sky Sports launched a poll before the start of the new season, allowing fans to choose which driver’s helmet design they like best this season.

The final result was that 40% of people chose Qin Miao's helmet.

Among the twenty helmets, most people like Qin Miao's helmet design.

Although it is not ruled out that Qin Miao was the blessing of the defending champion last season, the excellent design of Qin Miao's helmet can also be seen with such high support.

Therefore, Qin Miao's small helmet has the highest sales among all riders.

Just from selling helmet peripherals, Qin Miao's share is as high as more than 100 million US dollars.

So Toto felt that taking back a helmet signed by Qin Miao for his son should be able to calm the child's anger.

Even if this one can be worn with a helmet, its value is definitely higher than the model of that car.

After all, the value of the F1 driver's helmet itself lies here, plus the blessing of Qin Miao's signature.

After hearing Toto's request, Qin Miao took it upon himself to dig out a white blue and white porcelain helmet from this season from the warehouse, signed his name on the helmet's goggles, wrapped it in a box and handed it over. susie.

Afterwards, Qiu Meng started cooking, and Tuotuo and his wife had lunch at Qin Miao's house before leaving.

After Toto left, Qin Miao washed the dishes, tidied up the restaurant, and then lay down on the sofa.

Qiu Meng sat next to Qin Miao, moved Qin Miao's head to her lap, and asked curiously: "It's really like what you said, Geely is not going to change until it has enough strength to compete for the championship." Team?"

Qin Miao pushed his head towards Qiu Meng's belly, smelled the familiar smell of his lover and said in a murmuring voice: "In fact, I don't have such high requirements for Geely. The car can stably enter the points area. , Don’t make some low-level mistakes during the game, and if my contract is about to expire at that time, I will consider changing jobs.”

"So, if Geely enters next season, and they can stably enter the points area that season, and your contract expires after next season, you will not renew your contract with Mercedes?"

"It's not absolute. Didn't I say I'd consider it? It's highly likely that it depends on whether Mercedes can improve the strength of the car this year. If it's still going downhill, I really have the idea of ​​​​changing the team." Qin Miao moved his body upward again.

Although Qiu Meng's thighs were fragrant and soft, Qin Miao's pillow was at the highest point of Qiu Meng's thighs, which was a bit too high and not very comfortable.

After adjusting to his most comfortable position, Qin Miao said: "Rather than accompanying a decaying team to slowly rot, I would rather go to a new team to grow with them."

"By the way, girl, what do you think? If I leave, will it be too ungrateful for Mei Ben?" Qin Miao raised his head to see Qiu Meng's face, but all he could see in front of him were two towering peaks. And the shadow under the mountain peak, nothing else can be seen.

After a pause, Qiu Meng's voice came from the other side of the mountain: "Actually, I think it's a bit too early to say this. After all, there is still half of the season left. What will happen during this period? No one knows. It’s hard to say.

But if you really want to leave Mercedes-Benz, I will fully support your decision! "

"Hmm~"

……

Qin Miao finally called Mr. Li during the two-day break.

Naturally, the topic of conversation was the excitement in the paddock about Geely preparing to enter the stadium.

Mr. Li's attitude is very clear. Geely's group strategy will not change until there are any major changes.

It basically means that Geely is very determined to enter F1 and will not change easily.

Of course, the other party also asked Qin Miao sideways if he had considered changing jobs after the contract expired.

Qin Miao also vaguely mentioned his wishes. Neither of them said it clearly, but the meaning was already unspoken.

After this incident, Qin Miao also breathed a sigh of relief.

Of course, the influence of this news has not been weakened in any way. When Qin Miao played games live in the past two days, many domestic viewers watching Qin Miao's live broadcast frequently asked Qin Miao about this issue.

After all, these people who are not too concerned about the excitement also hope to see Chinese teams and Chinese drivers appear on the F1 track together.

Faced with these problems, Qin Miao was a little overwhelmed, so he could only try his best to ignore them.

Then someone went to great lengths to ask questions using barrages that could be used to make sounds from the anchor.

After answering a few perfunctory questions, Qin Miao finally got fed up and immediately blocked his live broadcast.

After two days of not-so-comfortable playing at home, Qin Miao resumed her daily work hours on Wednesday.

However, on the afternoon of the first day of work on Wednesday, Qin Miao had just arrived at the team factory. Before he even put his things back in his office, the work group on his mobile phone received a notification that he needed to go to a meeting.

Although he was a little surprised about why there was a meeting at this time, Qin Miao still put his things in the office and went to the team's conference room.

Qin Miao originally thought that the scale of this meeting would not be too big.

The fact is that the scale of this meeting is indeed not large, only a dozen people, but these dozen people are basically the top management of Mercedes-Benz Racing Team.

In addition to Qin Miao, Hamilton and other test driver De Vries were also present.

Qin Miao scratched his head in confusion. When he went to work today, Qin Miao remembered that he did not see Hamilton's car...

Although he was a little confused, Qin Miao still found a place to sit down.

Anyway, he was called over for a meeting today, so sitting in an inconspicuous corner would not affect him.

Soon, other people arrived one after another. They were basically the head of a department, or the chief technician, and other people who had a certain say in the team. Qin Miao thought for a while, and then he had a hunch that the content of this meeting would be relatively large.

After everyone arrived, the meeting began.

But this time the person presiding over the meeting changed from Toto to Elliot.

At the beginning of the meeting, Elliott first discussed with the Mercedes executives present the difficulties the team had encountered on the track this season.

After arousing the sympathy of many people and attracting everyone's attention, he said: "Although the current W14 upgrade plan looks really good, you must know that W14 is also based on the performance and performance of our existing racing cars. Based on the design and data obtained, I do not think that our current understanding of racing can produce a W14 that meets our expectations. I believe everyone is aware of the various risks.

Therefore, I think the current W13 is actually the best platform we can currently get. Half a season of competition has allowed us to collect enough data and characteristics about W13. We can also solve the problem of the upgrade potential of the car by re- Design and improvement of the W13 chassis is complete.

Although this is also a big project, and there are still a lot of problems that need to be dealt with after improving the chassis, it is still much better than building a new concept W14. The most important thing is that we know that new technical rules are about to be released. Cars based on new technical rules can be designed in advance to take advantage of Red Bull and Ferrari, and strive to restore the car's previous competitiveness in the second half of the season..."

For a long time, Elliott explained his thoughts and purposes to the team's staff.

Qin Miao poked an aerodynamic engineer next to him with his elbow and asked, "Do you know what the new technical rules are? Why have I never heard of it?"

The other party came closer to Qin Miao and lowered his voice and said: "I just learned that Toto has been contacting the FIA ​​during this period, and is now urging the FIA ​​to issue a new technical directive. Its main function is to prevent the car from crashing on the track. Dolphin jump, the team expects that the FIA ​​will let us increase the height of the car floor to avoid the occurrence of dolphin jump.”

Qin Miao nodded thoughtfully. After all, it was Toto who pushed it, so the team should be prepared in advance in this regard.

After thinking of this, Qin Miao looked at Elliot on the stage.

“Based on the performance of the last three grands prix and where we are at this time, I propose that the current research and development of W14 be stopped and all its current design results be used as technical reserves to continue based on the original basis of W13. Improve development.

Okay, that's all I have to say. "

Qin Miao:? ? ?
Didn't I just ask about something with the buddy next to me? Why is this the end?
Now Qin Miao suddenly had the feeling of dreaming back to when he was studying in junior high school. He lowered his head to pick up the pen. When he raised his head, he could no longer understand what the teacher said.

But putting these aside, Qin Miao also thought carefully about Elliot's proposal.

Then Qin Miao remembered it.

After the Austrian Grand Prix, Hamilton had a chat with himself about this issue.

At that time, I said I had no objection.

And this was Qin Miao's truest thought after hearing Elliot's statement on the stage.

Although this matter is closely related to Qin Miao, the driver, Qin Miao really can't think of any good solution in a short time.

Qin Miao simply waited for the rest of the team to make a decision on the news.

Next, Qin Miao faced the traditional performance of Mercedes-Benz Racing Team.

Senior managers from other teams came up to express their opinions and ask some questions.

Elliot also took out the documents and test data he had prepared and answered them one by one.

Finally, everyone votes together to vote on the current proposal.

In addition to Qin Miao, many people also abstained from voting.

When the votes were finally counted, the resolution was passed with a vote rate of 0.5.

Qin Miao was also a little surprised by this result, which was obviously suspected of being changed overnight. After all, the last time such a large meeting was held was the Canadian Grand Prix not long ago.

It’s only been a month...

Of course, Qin Miao just complained in his heart. This was the team's decision. Since Qin Miao decided not to participate, he naturally would not raise any objections at this time.

After this agenda was passed, Hamilton came to power again.

This time Hamilton mainly wanted to postpone other upgrades of the W13 and redesign the driving position of the W13.

After all, the current characteristics of the car make Hamilton really stressed when driving.

Not only on the track, but also in public opinion outside the track.

After all, the seven-time champion was overwhelmed by a sophomore on the track, and apart from Hamilton's home British Grand Prix, Hamilton has not been on the podium in other races this season.

It sounds a bit unpleasant to say it. After all, decline in strength is a process that every aging F1 driver must go through, but I have never seen anyone decline as fast as Hamilton.

The next meeting mainly focused on the upgrade of the car.

Qin Miao started to lose focus after hearing half of it. If this internal meeting of the team was not related to the research and development of the new season car, which is regarded as the highest commercial secret of the Mercedes-Benz team. No one is allowed to bring mobile phones. Qin Miao would definitely take out his mobile phone and start browsing. Video.

The meeting lasted for two and a half hours. By the time Qin Miao came out of the conference room, it was almost time to get off work.

However, Qin Miao still went to the team's simulator department to drive more than ten laps of the simulator.

It's not that Qin Miao loves work so much, it's just that Qin Miao hasn't touched a racing car for almost three days now, and her hands are a little itchy.

That's what driving a racing car is like, it's similar to fishing, it's addictive.

When you are cornering at an extreme angle, your brain is very aware of the danger of passing this corner, but you just drove through this corner from an extreme position without any danger.

Precisely because you know the danger of cornering like this, the joy after successfully cornering and the feeling of surviving the disaster will make your adrenaline and dopamine burst together, and this feeling makes Qin Miao and others like Qin Miao All riders like this can't stop.

Even if you are a little slack due to a long period of racing, you can easily regain that initial thrill after taking a short break.

After returning home, Qin Miao's schedule and daily life became regular. However, when Qin Miao was working in the team, the other team members always looked at Qin Miao with a little weird look.

Qin Miao also knew the reason for such a look, because he didn't know that it was the Killer of Thousand Swords who released a sentence he didn't know when he said it during the live broadcast.

At that time, someone should have asked Qin Miao through a speech barrage whether he would join Geely after Geely entered the venue. Qin Miao was already a little impatient because of this matter.

So Qin Miao's answer at that time was very perfunctory: "It depends on the situation."

Then because Qin Miao's words were over-interpreted, they immediately began to spread rumors in the paddock that Qin Miao would switch to Geely as soon as Mercedes' contract ended.

Toto didn't call to ask what was going on. After all, he had already contacted Qin Miao, and Qin Miao gave him a definite answer.

However, many people still believe that there are no rumors in the paddock and think that Qin Miao will join Geely after the end of 2023.

Rumors about this are now rife in the paddock.

To be honest, Qin Miao himself was quite helpless.

Now Qiu Meng and the others are preparing a letter of public explanation. In order to prevent the impact of this incident from spreading, and for the good of Geely and Meiben, they must explain this matter clearly as soon as possible.

The reason for saying this is that Qin Miao's commercial value at this time ranks among the top among all the drivers in the paddock.

On the one hand, it is because of his status as the defending world champion, and on the other hand, it is because of the huge Chinese market behind him.

So if there is news at this time that Qin Miao is about to join Geely after Geely joins, Old Stroll, a shrewd businessman, will definitely raise the price during negotiations with Geely. After all, he also knows Qin Miao’s current price. Portion size and commercial value.

For the Mercedes-Benz Racing Team, rumors that Qin Miao is about to leave will definitely cause the team to lose a lot of sales of peripheral products.

At the same time, it may also affect the sales of Mercedes-Benz cars.

It will also have a considerable impact on Qin Miao's popularity with passers-by.

Therefore, when issuing this statement, we must be very careful not to reveal any flaws.

After working in the team for four days, Qin Miao got on the plane back to Monaco on Saturday morning.

After returning to Monaco, Qin Miao originally wanted to take a day off, but he didn't know how the Monaco royal family knew that Qin Miao was back. After a direct phone call, he said that Princess Challen would bring Prince William to Qin Miao. A guest at home.

Qin Miao, who was wearing only a pair of underpants and with her upper body naked, received this text message and sucked her penis in pain.

It’s so hard to have a period of rest, why do you have so many problems?

But your landlord wants to come to your house for dinner and provides you with great convenience in terms of rent.

So Qin Miao could only agree.

After all, they are members of the royal family, so Qin Miao naturally cannot treat the other party lightly, so Qin Miao personally cooked for the two of them today.

Today, because Qin Miao was the cook, Qiu Meng was responsible for cleaning up after the meal.

Qin Miao was responsible for entertaining the mother and son.

After talking with the princess, Qin Miao was shocked to know that the other party's coming this time was mainly requested by Prince Jacques.

"Yes, I just came here to congratulate you on winning the British Grand Prix and the Austrian Grand Prix!" Prince Jacques, who was sitting on Qin Miao's left lap, looked at Qin Miao and said seriously. (End of chapter)
