How did I become an F1 driver?

It is said that Cao Cao Cao Cao has arrived, but in fact this Cao Cao will definitely arrive as well.

While the two were chatting, Verstappen came up from downstairs.

Although Qin Miao and Hamilton are tired, they still care about their image.

Verstappen didn't care about his external image at all. When he came in, his hair was completely wet and hung on his head, looking messy like a chicken coop.

In addition, Verstappen has a somewhat long face and thick lips.

Coupled with his current expression and temperament, he looks a little embarrassed.

After saying hello to the other party, Verstappen sat in his seat and tilted his head to watch the replay on the screen.

Seeing Qin Miao use Hamilton to defend himself twice, Verstappen felt a sense of frustration in his heart.

"Qin Miao, why do you have such a good sense of space? To be honest, I can really imagine your defensive actions with my imagination, but I really don't have the confidence to operate like you."

What Verstappen said is that Qin Miao on the track can not only keep the car in a fixed position with Hamilton's car, but also pay attention to the position of Verstappen's car and react to Verstappen's actions at any time. .

As the four of them stood still, Qin Miao's familiar national anthem also sounded.

In fact, this is just Qin Miao's long-standing habit, but Qin Miao's behavior has greatly improved his status and importance in the eyes of some domestic official media.

Hamilton: ╮(╯▽╰)╭

Many teams that were deeply troubled by driver errors caused a lot of extra budget expenditures, and their eyes were red when they saw Qin Miao's ranking on the repair list.

At this time, Toto, the representative of the Mercedes-Benz team, also came up from downstairs.

Because of the high speed of the car, if you are distracted or not paying attention, the car may move forward fifty or sixty meters. At such a long distance, any disturbance of the steering wheel may cause an extremely serious track accident.

It's a bit unreasonable to blame all this on Qin Miao's good luck. After all, the time span is too long.

This kind of multitasking on the track sounds awesome, but it is possible, but it is actually very dangerous.

When Verstappen came on the stage, the cheers could be described as a roaring tsunami. When Qin Miao came on the stage, the scene was obviously much quieter, but there were still cheers.

Soon, four people stepped onto the podium one after another.

"Actually, it's not difficult. As long as you are brave, the rest will be left to the Bazi... Well, I mean, the rest depends on God whether he wants to see you or not." Qin Miao explained seriously.

However, strictly speaking, Toto is the boss of Qin Miao and Hamilton after all. It is not inappropriate for him to go on stage to receive the award after winning the championship at his opponent's home court.

As if he has learned a lesson, the last time the Red Bull Ring specially designed a super-high podium for Verstappen, it was no longer there in this race. The only ones that appeared on the podium were the four normal podiums. Location.

Verstappen: Σ(⊙▽⊙“a
After chatting for a while, the track staff also came to remind the three drivers that it was time to go on stage to receive the award.

Among the current car repair cost rankings of all F1 drivers, Qin Miao is also one of the lowest.

He is fast, can protect the engine, is very stable, and does not make mistakes on the track. Only a fool will not be tempted by such a driver. No matter how high the salary is for him, I am willing to keep him in the team!
Ferrari: Just have a good chat, why are you still swearing?

The three of them stood up, put on their Pirelli championship hats and started lining up at the exit of the podium.

Unlike other drivers who would happily celebrate in this segment, Qin Miao always sang along with the melody with a solemn expression during the national anthem segment.

This was something neither Qin Miao nor Hamilton expected. They originally thought that French or Elliott would come up after today's game, but they didn't expect that it would be Toto today.

After the national anthem, Qin Miao received his second Dutch Grand Prix trophy.

But Qin Miao has not had any track accidents caused by him in his entire career since he entered F1.

This trophy is in the shape of a Heineken star, but it’s just a five-pointed star stretched out in a flat shape. It has a very obvious waistline, which still looks pretty good.

Then came the celebrations, cheers and group photos. After the whole process was completed, the Dutch Grand Prix came to an end.

Of course, after the game, there were still many interesting things after the game.

For example, the reason Tsunoda retired from the race was not because the tire bolts on his car were not locked, but because of a problem with the car's differential.

This was a problem discovered by the FIA ​​after the race.

At the same time, Yuki Tsunoda parked the car on the edge of the track when he first discovered a problem with the car. At that time, Tsunoda unbuckled his seat belt.

But when the team reminded him that there was nothing wrong with the car, Tsunoda drove the car back again.

But at that time, Tsunoda was not wearing a seat belt. Later, when the car was parked for the first time, Tsunoda fastened his seat belt.

But because of this, Tsunoda was deemed to be an unsafe driver by the FIA ​​and received a reprimand after the game. This was already the fifth reprimand Yuki Tsunoda received this season. He will need to be fined 1 times for the next Italian Grand Prix. Starting position.

Based on the performance of Toro Rosso on the track this season, next week's Italian Grand Prix will basically start at the end of the track.

Then during the podium stage after the race, after all the drivers drove their cars back to the pit area, Alonso, Stroll, and Zhou Guanyu all gathered next to Perez's car and began to study Red Bull racing car.

But no one knows exactly why the three of them researched it.

After the game, Qin Miao, Hamilton and Toto naturally carried their trophies back to the team's P room with great joy.

After a group photo of everyone in the team came together at the door of the P room, all the work of the Mercedes team for this game was completed.

Today Qin Miao also had the rare opportunity to attend the team's post-race interview.

Qin Miao participated in the post-match interview this time mainly because of the vinegar and making dumplings.

He just wanted to annoy the Dutch audience during the post-match interview.

However, Qin Miao mainly just wanted to satisfy his addiction, and did not really want to completely offend the Dutch audience. After all, after running a Dutch Grand Prix, Qin Miao received pure economic benefits, such as selling peripherals and advertising image rights. Qin Miao didn't have to do anything, just wait at home and count the money, and her income was almost 40 US dollars.

This does not include the bonuses given to you by the team, the sponsor rewards after you win the championship, and so on.

After the race, because this is the second race of three back-to-back races, the Italian Grand Prix will be next week after this race.

The team started to pack their belongings on the day after the race, and they packed the stuff overnight that day, and then transported the team's materials from the Netherlands to Italy by road.

Oka players are ecstatic.

Because the convoy's supplies were pulled over by large trucks. Europe is not a big place, and there are no traffic controls in many places, so you can just drive there.

On the morning of the next Monday, the supplies arrived at the Monza circuit in Italy and began to be unpacked.

But these have nothing to do with Qin Miao. After the game, Qin Miao returned to the UK to rest for a day, and then went to Italy on Tuesday.

Italy's position and feelings in Qin Miao's heart are quite complicated.

After all, this is the starting point of his F1 racing dream. Qin Miao has also stayed in Maranello for a long time. He has a certain familiarity with the local culture and has made many friends.

But due to some clever reasons within Ferrari, Qin Miao left Ferrari.

In Qin Miao's heart, he feels a certain amount of guilt towards the local Italian car fans.

It's just that this feeling will become weaker and weaker as time goes by, but at least Qin Miao still retains this feeling in the second year of his career.

After arriving in Italy, Qin Miao naturally checked into the hotel as soon as possible.

However, Qin Miao knew too many people here, so after putting things away at the landing hotel, Qin Miao drove out without stopping.

First we went to Vicenza.

After arriving in Vicenza, Qin Miao naturally went to the Prema team to meet his old friends and catch up on old times.

Luo Xin and the others were not surprised by Qin Miao's arrival. After all, Qin Miao would come over every year when the Italian Grand Prix started.

But this week is the last game of three consecutive games, so Qin Miao did not stay in Vicenza for too long.

After having lunch and taking a few photos and autographs, we drove to Maranello.

Qin Miao went to Maranello to have dinner with Li Qin and the guys from the Ferrari racing department who helped Qin Miao modify the car.

All human relations issues were resolved within one day.

The only thing that made Qin Miao feel a little helpless was that after returning to the hotel, photos of Qin Miao and Li Qin having dinner were exposed.

Soon rumors began to circulate inside and outside the paddock that Qin Miao might return to Ferrari after his contract ends in 2023.

Dear friends, you can see Qin Miao put on Ferrari racing suit again and sit in the racing car in 2024!
After all, Qin Miao and the Ferrari people were really talking and laughing when they had dinner together. They seemed very harmonious, and there was no trace of unfamiliarity or hatred.

There are also some corner staff at Ferrari who have come forward to express their hope that they can see Qin Miao in the driver's seat of a Ferrari car next season.

These people are just here to make people angry.

However, there was not much overreaction from the Mercedes team this time, because Qin Miao told Toto before going to Vicenza that he was going to Italy to meet the friends who helped him when he was still in F2.

Regardless of Qin Miao's identity, this was a completely normal gathering of friends.

And for Mercedes, if Qin Miao really went to Maranello to talk to Ferrari about the driver contract, it shouldn't be this time.

After all, there is still more than a year before Qin Miao's contract with Mercedes expires.

If Mercedes originally approached Ferrari to buy out Qin Miao's contract, it was because Qin Miao signed a rookie contract with Ferrari. Although the liquidated damages were high, it was not unacceptable.

At least from the current perspective, Mercedes buying out Qin Miao's contract from Ferrari is a huge profit.

But now the liquidated damages in the contract between Qin Miao and Mercedes-Benz are a bit too high. Ferrari will not ask Mercedes-Benz to buy out the contract anyway.

Because it's not worth it.

In short, the Italian Grand Prix race week has just begun, and there is a bit of excitement inside and outside the paddock because of this news.

However, these public opinions did not affect Qin Miao. He still sang and danced, pretending not to know anything.

Went out for a meal with Leclerc after arriving at Monza on Wednesday.

But this time the protagonist is not Leclerc, but Leclerc's younger brother Arthur.

After the Dutch Grand Prix ended last week, Qin Miao hurriedly left the paddock. After all, everyone was in a hurry for three consecutive races. Although Qin Miao was relatively free, he was busy celebrating and working after the game. Still quite a lot.

So much so that Arthur got good results on the field and even wanted to come over to thank Qin Miao but didn't have the chance.

So it’s been postponed until now.

During the meal, Qin Miao learned that Arthur won the F3 race championship at the Dutch Grand Prix last week.

And according to Arthur, he used a lot of tricks Qin Miao taught him during the race, so Arthur's long-distance speed in the race was very good.

But after Qin Miao heard this, he waved his hands indifferently: "What does this have to do with me? I just told you some easy-to-understand principles and methods that almost everyone in the paddock knows.

What really makes you win this game is not me, but you who apply what you have learned on the track. "

Qin Miao said to Arthur.

"To be honest, sometimes I really don't understand why you Chinese are so humble." Leclerc said with a smile.

In their opinion, Arthur's championship last week was won after Qin Miao taught him, and Qin Miao had the greatest credit for this.

But Qin Miao didn't care.

Qin Miao said: "This is not modesty, I really think so."

……

It didn't take long to have a meal, but Qin Miao didn't say much about Arthur's F3 score except for a few words of encouragement.

Qin Miao doesn't want to become an adult who is very annoying in the eyes of children and especially likes to preach.

On Thursday, Qin Miao came to the paddock as usual to attend the pre-race press conference and walked on the track for media day activities.

At the same time, the number of Asians in the paddock gradually increased, and Qin Miao also saw a lot of Chinese people.

These were all sent by Geely to F1 for investigation. (End of chapter)
