How did I become an F1 driver?

However, after Qin Miao returned home, looking at the basically unchanged layout in the community and the unchanged furnishings at home, she asked her mother with some curiosity: "Mom, aren't you going to do that kind of decoration when you come back?" Why don’t these things in the house seem to have changed?”

Mom nodded and said: "I originally planned to renovate all the buildings nearby when I came back, but they persuaded me not to do so. It would be a bit thankless to do this kind of thing, and people's hearts are unpredictable. When the time comes, Shengmi will appear. The feuding situation is not so good. The harmonious atmosphere among everyone is quite good now. I think it makes sense.

Therefore, I am not going to touch the furnishings at home. If you really get tired of living here, you and Qiu Meng will go to the provincial capital to buy a house, and I will go there to help you take care of your children. "

Qin Miao didn't think there was anything wrong with her mother's words at first. For Qin Miao now, buying a house is not an intolerable burden.

Qin Miao frowned until her mother finally told her to take care of the child.

Turning his gaze to Qiu Meng, who was sitting on the sofa and looking at this side very obediently, Qin Miao said tentatively: "Speaking of Mom, I just want to say that I have been a little confused recently, and I always feel that something is missing... You seem to have been there for a while There is nothing urging me and Qiu Meng to have a child..."

After Qin Miao finished speaking, Qiu Meng said to her mother helplessly: "Mom, look, I think with Qin Miao's brain, he will definitely be able to react."

Mom looked at Qin Miao, nodded and said, "After driving a racing car for so long, my reaction speed and sensitivity to some things have indeed improved a lot."

Qin Miao spread his hands helplessly: "In your eyes, am I just a loser who can drive a racing car? Apart from racing, most of F1 is more like a business alliance. In a place like this, the most important thing is to see. Six ways, listen to all directions."

"Okay, okay, don't worry about it." Mom interrupted Qin Miao: "Then you should have guessed it, right?"

Qin Miao scratched his head, feeling a little strange in his heart, but Qin Miao still nodded and said, "I probably guessed it."

Qiu Meng also handed a pregnancy test stick to Qin Miao with a somewhat anxious expression.

Qin Miao took it and took a look at it. Although this was the first time he saw it, Qin Miao also knew what the two bars meant.

Although he already had a rough guess in his mind, Qin Miao still felt a little afraid to face the result.

After all, strictly speaking, Qin Miao was only 21 at this time. Many of his peers were still in college at this time, and were trapped and disturbed by love in college.

But now Qin Miao suddenly knew that he was going to be a father, and it was normal for him to find it difficult to accept it for a while.

However, although Qin Miao's inner emotions were complicated at this time, overall Qin Miao was still happy after knowing the news.

But at the same time, an invisible sense of responsibility also pressed on Qin Miao. Qin Miao always felt that she needed to do something for this child she had never met before, and she needed to prepare the best for him.

Seeing that Qin Miao had been stunned for a long time after getting the pregnancy test stick, not knowing what she was thinking or saying anything, Qiu Meng explained: "Actually, I'm almost three months pregnant. We both hit it at once. There was no reaction in the early stage. When there was a reaction, I was too busy and did not check it immediately. When the reaction was more severe in the end, you were in three consecutive games back to back during that time. In order not to affect your competitive state and mentality, my mother and I discussed it at that time and decided to hide this matter and not tell you for the time being. "

Qin Miao also recovered a little at this time. After hearing Qiu Meng's explanation, Qin Miao asked: "Then there was a two-week rest period immediately after the three consecutive games? Why didn't you tell me during that time? I?"

Qiu Meng stuck out her tongue: "During that time, the baby's reaction was very small, basically no reaction. At that time, I was thinking about handing over the company's business quickly, so I was a little busy at work, so I forgot about it..."

Qin Miao:? ? ?
"Ah? Can you forget about being pregnant?" Qin Miao's eyes were full of shock, but soon Qin Miao found a reason for his wife to make amends: "It's not that I can't understand it, after all, one pregnancy will make you stupid for three years. ”

"Don't worry, I won't dislike it!"

Qiu Meng smiled helplessly.

After Qin Miao found a reason, he immediately came to Qiu Meng. After squatting down, he looked at Qiu Meng's flat belly and prepared to press it to listen.

Qiu Meng gently patted Qin Miao's head: "It's not fully developed yet. What can you hear?"

Qin Miao chuckled: "Aren't I curious?"

"Okay, okay, let's eat first." Seeing the two young couples throwing dog food at her indiscriminately, my mother's face became a little unkind, and she quickly interrupted the two of them.

Qin Miao quickly stood up and supported Qiu Meng.

After seeing this, my mother suddenly regretted letting this boy enter the house.

"I'm not so squeamish anymore, don't be too nervous!"

……

After dinner, Qin Miao did not stay at home with his wife.

The main reason is that Qiu Meng is only three months pregnant now. After Qin Miao passed the initial nervous period, she also realized that Qiu Meng's body is not that fragile. The excessive concern at this time may also hurt Qiu Meng. Cause additional psychological burden.

The most important thing is that Qin Miao doesn't understand the care and diet of pregnant women. Excessive concern at this time may really cause trouble.

Moreover, even if Qiu Meng's parents knew about Qiu Meng's pregnancy, Qin Miao, the son-in-law, would definitely have to go to Qiu Meng's home to meet the couple.

So Qin Miao went to Qiu Meng's parents' house in the afternoon.

The old couple were naturally very enthusiastic and welcomed Qin Miao's arrival.

When Qiu Meng's mother saw Qin Miao coming, she started to arrange food for Qin Miao.

Qiu Meng's father sat with Qin Miao drinking tea, and from time to time chatted about Qin Miao's affairs on the field and the details of the game.

I stayed at Qiu Meng's house until dinner in the evening before returning home.

Now Qin Miao has basically taken care of things at home.

The season is not over yet, Qin Miao also wants to accompany Qiu Meng at home, but Qin Miao's career means that Qin Miao cannot settle down at home and accompany his wife.

So Qin Miao went out again the next day.

Qin Miao first went to Changsha to meet with Boss Zhou and had a meal, and then he took a plane to Shanghai.

This time Qin Miao came to Shanghai mainly to shoot commercials.

F1 drivers generally do not need acting skills, but drivers like Qin Miao and Hamilton who often need to appear in front of the audience and appear in interviews still have to learn to hide their emotions more or less.

Therefore, Qin Miao's acting skills are still a bit good, so the filming process was quite smooth, and it was all done in one afternoon.

After that, Qin Miao went to the crew of "The Wandering Earth 2" where Guo Fan worked without stopping.

Before Qin Miao came, he really thought that he was just here to take a still and record some promotional materials, and that all the work could be done in one day at most.

But what Qin Miao didn't expect was that after he arrived, Guo Fan directly took Qin Miao and shot several more scenes, and then made promotional posters and recorded promotional videos. Finally, after Qin Miao agreed, he shot I took a picture, which seemed to be a candid shot, but in fact, the crew took a picture of Qin Miao, Wu Jing, and Guo Fan chatting together in a hidden corner.

Qin Miao came here as a guest star. Although Guo Fan used his own tricks to significantly increase Qin Miao's role, this fact still cannot be changed.

It is impossible for Guo Fan to use Qin Miao as promotional materials for the movie, but Guo Fan does not want to give up Qin Miao's current domestic traffic.

But what if it’s not “official” propaganda?
Just save a candid photo and buy a hot search, but then you won’t be allowed to take off directly?
And Qin Miao doesn't care, right?
However, this photo will not be released for a short period of time.

On the one hand, no one knows how long the post-production of this movie will take.

On the other hand, Qin Miao was still racing last week. Although Qin Miao had a short break after the Japanese Grand Prix, the news of taking advantage of this break to film reached Qin Miao's fans and the team. In the ears, it will still have a certain impact on Qin Miao's own image.

In short, Qin Miao stayed with Guo Fan for a day and a half. After working hard for a long time, Guo Fan took away 1000 million of his investment, saying that he wanted to make a director's cut or something.

Qin Miao didn't understand it very well, but he did not lack the 1 million investment, so he simply gave it.

Qin Miao returned home to spend half a day with her mother and Qiu Meng. Qin Miao only went abroad on Friday and flew directly to Texas, the venue for the second US Grand Prix.

After landing, Qin Miao did receive an email from Keanu Reeves. The other party asked when Qin Miao would arrive in the United States and whether Qin Miao needed to receive the reception by himself after arriving in the United States.

Qin Miao refused without thinking.

Due to various things at home these days, Qin Miao has no time to touch the racing simulator.

And since the end of Japan, Qin Miao knew that his rain fighting attributes had begun to deteriorate.

Today, Qin Miaoyu, who had not touched a racing car during this period, had his combat ability degraded from 90 to 89.

Qin Miao felt really sad that the attribute points he had saved so hard were wasted.

Therefore, after Qin Miao came to the United States, he was not prepared to engage in any business activities or interpersonal relationships. There was only one thing Qin Miao had to do during this period, which was to resume daily training and increase the amount of training.

However, Qin Miao's physique is quite special after all. The average F1 driver usually spends a whole morning exercising, but Qin Miao has systematic help. In terms of physical fitness, Qin Miao does not need to spend too much time on any one aspect. maintain.

Therefore, Qin Miao's physical training time in the morning was shortened to two hours. After two hours, he had about fifteen minutes to recover from the loss of physical functions.

For example, you can go into a sub-zero cold storage to cool down, relax and massage muscles that have just had their temperatures increased due to strenuous exercise.

After completing this, Qin Miao spent the rest of the morning practicing the American Circuit in rainy conditions.

Under normal circumstances, Qin Miao basically practices in rainy conditions every day on the track where the competition will be held. However, Qin Miao, who knows that his talent in rainy battles is only 80 points, basically does not pay much attention to practicing on rainy days. Only half an hour. But Qin Miao also knows that if he practices for a long time, the decline of his rain battle attributes will slow down.

Although I don’t know if there is still the possibility of rain games in the remaining games of this season, but as the saying goes, be prepared.

During the following period, Qin Miao restrained his mind. In addition to playing games for two hours every night before going to bed, Qin Miao spent the rest of the time training in the training room arranged by the team.

The data after each day's training will also be sent to the data analysis department at the Mercedes-Benz team headquarters to comment on Qin Miao's training results today and give suggestions for improvement.

Qin Miao's work and rest schedule has returned to what it was like when Qin Miao first entered F1 last season.

In this state of being completely immersed in doing something, time flies very quickly.

Time flies and the day comes for the start of the United States Grand Prix.

And just before the start of the Grand Prix of the Americas, the FIA ​​announced the investigation reasons and results of the early admission of the crane to the Japanese Grand Prix half a month ago.

There are quite a lot of words, so I won’t give the full text here, but the general idea is:

1: All actions of the FIA ​​during the Japanese Grand Prix were conducted in accordance with FIA rules and regulations. We did nothing wrong!
2: The deployment of the safety car before all the cars have completed the formation is a procedural issue and has nothing to do with the race stewards and naturally has nothing to do with our FIA.

3: We also know that after Bianchi’s accident, everyone is very sensitive to the presence of cranes on the track, especially the Suzuka Circuit. We will pay attention to it in the future.

4: Even if we are 99% wrong, doesn’t Gasly have 1% fault? Drivers behind should slow down during yellow and red flag periods!
This is a rule!

Then there were some innocuous problems. In the end, the FIA ​​also provided solutions to these problems and implemented them starting from the US station.

Of course, the emergence of such problems is also related to the fact that the FIA ​​has adopted a race director rotation system this season.

Because different race directors have different understandings of the track and the competition, it is easy to have different penalty standards.

Therefore, the FIA ​​decided to cancel the race director rotation system after this game, and Niels Vitich will serve as the race director for all subsequent games.

I just don’t know if the FIA ​​will abandon the rotation system of race directors next season.

But strictly speaking, these things do have something to do with Qin Miao, but they really don't have much to do with it. The ones who have more dealings with the race stewards and race directors are the team's strategy team and the team leader.

After arriving in the United States, it did rain on Monday and Tuesday of the competition week, but it only rained on these two days. It continued until the main game on Sunday. The weather in Austin was very good.

Qin Miao felt a lot more relieved, at least he no longer had to face a rainy battle.

But despite this, Qin Miao did not change his daily training plan. He still devoted two hours every morning to training his rain fighting ability.

But currently, only Qin Miao and a few other drivers in the paddock still maintain high-intensity training.

Most riders are engaged in marketing campaigns during this time.

The two U.S. Grands Prix have become one of the most important races on the F1 calendar.

After all, last year's U.S. Grand Prix set a ticket purchase record in F1 history, with more than 40 tickets sold directly in the United States during one Grand Prix weekend.

The number of attendees in the three days was as high as 40.

It can be regarded as the best in F1 history.

Of course, the more than 40 tickets for the US Grand Prix are incomparable with the significance of this year's Singapore Grand Prix.

Because the tickets for the Singapore Grand Prix are sold out directly, it does not mean that the Singapore Grand Prix can only accommodate so many people.

If there were more seats, there would definitely be more people arriving to watch the game.

There are still some unsold tickets for the US Grand Prix.

But no matter what, 40 tickets at least prove that the American people are still rich and everyone is willing to spend money on F1.

Therefore, during this Grand Prix weekend, drivers from almost all teams actively or passively increased their participation in business activities, including road shows, filming promotional videos, and participating in some activities that are popular with the American people, such as playing baseball. NBA.

Qin Miao's teammate, Hamilton, naturally joined in, but he took a different path. He went to join the fashion industry.

But when the old man found out that Qin Miao didn't come out to participate in any activities at all this Grand Prix weekend and was all training in the training room, Hamilton couldn't sit still.

How come you kid has learned how to sneak away! ?
However, the old man was just a little aggrieved by this and did not give up the marketing work at hand.

On the one hand, all the work at hand has been arranged and the contracts have been signed, and Hamilton really can't leave.

On the other hand, the background of the seven-time champion is not something you can joke about. Hamilton is confident that he will not be left behind by Qin Miao under his current training intensity.

To be realistic, how many times has Hamilton raced on this track?

Even if a year has passed and the track has been re-paved with asphalt due to maintenance reasons and the grip of the track has changed, based on Hamilton's experience, he can become familiar with the track again within one practice session.

Therefore, Hamilton is more willing to expand his influence in the United States than doing things that are already half the effort for Hamilton.

Americans' rice is relatively easy to wrap.

It's not like Qin Miao, who has such a big base behind him. Although the UK is said to be the birthplace of F1, its own population is a flaw, and the money that can be earned in this area is still in the minority.

In short, these days all the drivers have arrived in the United States earlier than normal Grand Prix weekends, and then marketing, training, training.

The time soon came to Thursday.

Today is still a beautiful day with bright sunshine, the air temperature is 31 degrees Celsius, and the track temperature is almost 50 degrees Celsius.

And the weather has been like this in recent days, which is particularly suitable for competition.

There were many fans wandering around the paddock on Thursday. Those who could come in to watch the race at this point were basically VIP fans who had bought the entire Grand Prix weekend package, or fans specially invited by the team.

Therefore, after these people saw Qin Miao, they mostly held up their mobile phones to take pictures of Qin Miao. They did not yell at Qin Miao or come over to follow him.

Of course, those photographers holding professional cameras and wearing official FIA vests do not count.

After waving to these fans, Qin Miao returned to the Mercedes team home. Next, Qin Miao naturally began to go through the necessary procedures before the start of every Grand Prix weekend.

Pre-race press conference, pre-race driver meeting, track walk.

Various marketing activities followed. Qin Miao had not participated in activities outside the paddock before, but Qin Miao still had to participate in the activities inside the paddock. It was not a mandatory requirement, mainly because he saw so many cars. Fans are here for themselves. If I just stay inside the team and don't go out to participate in any activities, these fans who come to watch the race with full expectations, or to see their own cars, will definitely be a little disappointed.

Among all these marketing activities, the only one that Qin Miao found interesting was the hour he spent on Thursday afternoon driving the team's VIPs on the track.

Because these people are here to experience the feeling of an F1 driver pushing full force, Qin Miao can run laps without reservation. He can become more familiar with the track and complete his marketing work at the same time. What stands out is that he kills two birds with one stone.

What Qin Miao didn't expect was that during today's activities, Qin Miao met an acquaintance.

She is not an acquaintance of celebrities or celebrities that Qin Miao knows. This is really just an acquaintance where both of them know each other.

"Qin Miao!"

Generally, when Qin Miao hears the car fan in the co-pilot shouting his name excitedly after seeing him, Qin Miao will smile and nod kindly towards the other person, and tell the other person to fasten his seat belt and check whether the helmet buckle is securely buckled.

Despite Qin Miao's driving skills, the probability of him having problems on the track while driving an AMG GT R is about the same as the probability of it sinking on the road in Japan in the next second.

But these procedures are all to protect the personal safety of guests, it must be said.

But this time the people who came up called Qin Miao's name in Chinese, not a transliterated name, but pure Chinese.

Qin Miao glanced at the other person with some curiosity, subconsciously thinking that this was a Chinese car fan coming to watch the US Grand Prix.

After nodding with a smile, she also greeted him in Chinese: "Hello."

One thing to say, the other person is quite good-looking. Even if he wears a helmet, he can still tell that the other person is very beautiful from the outline of his face and facial features that are not exposed much.

"You, you don't remember me?" Seeing Qin Miao's very bland attitude, the other party felt a little frustrated and helpless for a while.

Qin Miao was stunned and asked tentatively: "Have we met before?"

ps. There is an emotional scene in the next chapter, you can skip it (this chapter is over)
