How did I become an F1 driver?

At the airport, the staff broke out in cold sweats the moment they saw so many people blocking the airport entrance.

They didn't receive any notification about which celebrities would come to the airport today, and the professional team of actors who picked them up didn't notify them at all.

Why are there so many people here suddenly?

These guys are too unruly!
Although the person in charge complained silently in his heart, he still dispatched the airport security forces to the scene to maintain order as soon as possible.

At least it is necessary to ensure that no pushing or trampling accidents occur during this process.

As for Qin Miao, he originally thought that this was just a normal trip.

Get on the plane, get off the plane, go to Zhou Guanyu's house, done.

Besides, this was not Qin Miao's first time to Shanghai, so he was naturally familiar with the place.

However, as soon as Qin Miao got off the plane and got on the shuttle bus to the arrival hall, he noticed a noticeable noise at the terminal exit.

Qin Miao was actually not unfamiliar with this sound. He often heard it during competitions in the paddock.

Moreover, he had heard this kind of noise when he met celebrities at the airport before, so Qin Miao looked towards the exit with some curiosity. Was there another celebrity landing at the airport?
After all, curiosity is everyone's instinct.

Then Qin Miao saw the exit and through the glass saw many people wearing Mercedes team uniforms and their own red hats on their heads.

Qin Miao:......

?

After slowly typing a question mark, Qin Miao's face was full of confusion.

If my judgment was correct, these people at the door were probably coming for me...

How the hell did my itinerary get exposed?
Qin Miao was puzzled.

To be honest, at this moment Qin Miao really wanted to find a VIP exit or an exit for staff only to leave the airport.

But Qin Miao still favors his fans. After all, if you put yourself in his shoes, you will finally know that Qin Miao, who usually does not hold events or appear in public in the country, has returned to China, and you can still meet him at the airport.

I went there excitedly, but waited for a long time but didn't see anyone.

What a disappointing and sad thing this is.

So after thinking about it for a while, Qin Miao decided to leave the airport as usual.

Even if Qin Miao was locked up, he wouldn't be able to find any VIP exit. What if the staff didn't recognize him? Would Qin Miao still want to keep his reputation?
Originally, due to the full relaxation of the domestic situation, wearing masks is no longer mandatory at airports.

So Qin Miao only wore a pair of sunglasses. After seeing so many fans coming to pick him up at the airport, Qin Miao simply took off his sunglasses before leaving.

After making sure that there was nothing inappropriate about his clothes, Qin Miao walked out of the airport carrying a backpack.

To be honest, Qin Miao was very glad that he didn't bring any luggage this time.

Judging from the appearance outside, it would be more troublesome if you bring your own luggage and then have to pick up your own suitcase.

As Qin Miao walked out of the exit, the entire exit instantly became lively.

Amid the horrified gazes of the staff maintaining order at the scene, a burst of explosive cheers broke out among the crowd of car fans.

"Qin Miao!"

"Qin Miao!"

"Qin Miao!"

……

Qin Miao's heartbeat also quickened due to the cheers from the fans at the scene.

Although Qin Miao has many fans abroad, Qin Miao's driving and fighting on the track are more upright or rule-abiding than Verstappen and Hamilton. He basically does not make any illegal moves such as forcing the opponent out of the track when he is about to be overtaken by the opponent.

Therefore, Qin Miao has a nickname of gentleman among foreign car fans.

However, Qin Miao had never felt such enthusiastic cheers even when he competed abroad.

After coming out of the ticket gate, the people in front of her looked at Qin Miao as if they were looking at a naked beauty.

Qin Miao's strong heart, which he had trained in the paddock, could not bear it for a moment.

After a while, the cheers of these people gradually died down.

The cheers also changed from uniformly shouting Qin Miao's name to calling out all kinds of names:
The more normal ones are:

"Qin Miao is awesome!"

"world champion!"

“The first person in F1!”

But there are also many abstractions:

"Qin Miao, you are the father!"

"Qin Miao, I want to give birth to a child for you!"

"Qin Miao fuck me!"

"Qin Miao, I'm 36D!"

……

To be honest, Qin Miao felt that he had seen many abstract people, but the abstractness of this group of people obviously exceeded his imagination.

Qin Miao was speechless when he heard what they shouted.

But Qin Miao's expression remained tense. He waved at them and went to the exit.

At the same time, during this process, Qin Miao did not forget to constantly remind them: "Pay attention to safety, do not cause stampede accidents, be sure to pay attention to safety."

Although the airport staff were somewhat caught off guard by this group of uninvited guests, it is Shanghai airport after all, and this kind of situation happens quite frequently, so they have also developed a set of effective ways and means to deal with it.

So when Qin Miao arrived at the exit, he saw a path separated for him by many staff members. In addition to this path, there was another exit on the other side that was completely empty, and it was obviously prepared for those passengers who got off the plane normally.

After all, the airport is a public area, and it is impossible for Qin Miao to interact with his fans in such places.

So he waved and entered the human passage prepared for him by the staff.

As he walked, he thanked the staff around him: "I'm sorry to trouble you."

After Qin Miao came out, the fans who came to the scene just kept taking pictures of Qin Miao with their mobile phones. No one came to surround Qin Miao. They behaved quite restrainedly.

Qin Miao was followed by a large group of people who came to the airport parking lot.

After arriving at the parking lot, Qin Miao found an Alfa Romeo parked on the side of the road based on the location on his mobile phone.

When they saw this car, many people's eyes lit up, and then those following Qin Miao saw Qin Miao carrying his luggage and getting into the passenger seat of the car.

Some sharp-eyed people naturally noticed Zhou Guanyu wearing sunglasses in the driver's seat.

But now it's too late to regret not taking out my phone to take pictures throughout the process.

After getting in the car, Qin Miao waved to the fans behind him and left.

……

"What's going on? Why is there such a big scene when you get off the plane?" Zhou Guanyu, who picked up Qin Miao, asked curiously as he looked at the large group of people following Qin Miao.

Qin Miao threw his backpack into the back seat and explained, "I don't know either. After I got off the plane, I saw so many people blocking me at the door, and I was shocked.

I think my flight information was leaked.”

"Can private jet flight information be leaked?" Although Zhou Guanyu does not live in China, he has a general understanding of the ins and outs of domestic fans and celebrities picking up celebrities at the airport.

Qin Miao stretched and said, "After I came back, I gave my crew members a holiday until after the New Year, so no one helped me fly the plane today. I came here by civil aviation."

Zhou Guanyu was stunned for a moment, then shrugged: "That's not surprising."

Qin Miao suddenly seemed to have thought of something and said to Zhou Guanyu, "Wait for me."

Then Qin Miao took out his phone and posted a message on Weibo:

[Thank you all for your love for me. I am really flattered by this. However, picking people up at the airport is not something that should be encouraged. I am just a stinky driver with some achievements. I don't deserve your love.

The key is that doing so will cause trouble to the airport staff and waste social resources, so in the future, even if you know my flight information from somewhere, don’t come and waste your time and energy. Spend more time with your family. Finally, I wish you all a happy new year in advance! 】

After checking and making sure there were no problems, Qin Miao sent it out directly without having his agency review it or anything.

Soon, someone left a message under Qin Miao's Weibo.

[Ah? Where is Qin Miao? Shanghai? ]

[I feel like I missed a hundred million]

["Small Achievements" and "Stinky Driver"]

[This little achievement and the bad driver are very spiritual]

["Small achievements" refers to two championships in two years, and "stinky driver" refers to the youngest world champion in F1 history/dog head]

[I now suspect that Qin Miao did not post this Weibo to persuade us not to go to the airport to pick him up, but to show off]

[But let me be honest, if I put myself in the shoes of an airport staff, if I was doing well at work and suddenly my workload was increased, I would indeed be quite irritable]

[Since you said so, I won’t go next time]

……

After posting this Weibo, Qin Miao didn't care anymore. He was not a messenger of justice, he was just a driver. The main reason he could do all this was because Qin Miao didn't want to cause trouble to others.

"By the way, where is my F2? Where did you put it?" Qin Miao suddenly asked after finishing everything at hand.

Zhou Guanyu said: "In the last race, my family had a car dealership shop over there, and this car was placed in the middle of the shop as the treasure of the store.

What? Are you ready to go back?"

Qin Miao: "Tsk, tsk, tsk, your family is really rich, but I'm not planning to go back. I haven't touched a car much recently. I've been practicing on the simulator. My hands are a little itchy."

Zhou Guanyu ignored Qin Miao's teasing and just nodded: "I understand, but do you want to see your F2 race?

There is no team in China that can guarantee F2 racing. Even if we give you a car, you probably can’t drive it on the track. Even if you drive it on, it is likely to break down halfway.”

Qin Miao was stunned when he heard this, and then he slapped his thigh fiercely: "How the hell did I forget about this."

Although F2 cars are not as delicate as F1 cars, and even require high-temperature fuel to heat up the internal parts of the car before starting, as a second-tier formula car, it also requires professionals and equipment to do pre-race maintenance on such cars. The local teams at the race can only maintain F3 cars at best.

Qin Miao sighed helplessly and said, "There's nothing I can do about it. I'll go back to England early to run the test."

Zhou Guanyu said: "If you want to practice for the competition, you can only run the simulator, but if you want to satisfy your desire, it's actually not that difficult."

"Any idea?"

"There is a private team at the race, and they can rent out F4 cars. You can just go and race in F4 when the time comes."

Qin Miao:......

"You're lucky you can let a world champion run F4."

Zhou Guanyu spread his hands: "Anyway, I just went there to satisfy my driving urge. In fact, the F4 is more suitable than the F2. It is cheaper, not so fast, and has enough G force. You don't need to adapt to it again. You can basically get familiar with all the operating procedures of this car after running two laps."

Qin Miao: "Let's talk about it later. If possible, let's compete."

"Teaching by a world champion?"

Qin Miao grinned: "No, I just feel itchy and simply want to bully the weak."

Zhou Guanyu: “qnmd!”

With Zhou Guanyu chatting with me next to me, the journey was not boring.

More than an hour later, Qin Miao also arrived at Zhou Guanyu's house.

After putting the things in the room Zhou Guanyu prepared for him, Qin Miao was thinking about going out for a meal.

Then when Qin Miao came out of the bedroom, he saw Zhou Guanyu opening the door of the refrigerator at home, which was full of fresh ingredients that had just been bought.

The corner of Qin Miao's mouth twitched slightly.

But Qin Miao acted as if he didn't see it, and went out and said, "Let's go out for dinner, I'll treat you!"

After hearing what Qin Miao said, Zhou Guanyu smacked his lips with some regret, but he didn't force it. After all, it was a bit unreasonable to invite guests to your home and let them cook for you.

So the two of them went out to eat hotpot together.

Qin Miao did not go out in the afternoon. He and Zhou Guanyu played games at home for the whole afternoon.

We are all young people in their twenties. After holding back for a year, we finally have a vacation, and we have friends to play games with.

Anyone who has experienced this feeling understands.

It probably feels similar to playing games with your college roommates during the holidays.

When we're not playing together, we can still restrain ourselves.

But once they let themselves go, it was hard for them to control themselves.

We had originally agreed to play for an afternoon, and then go out to the bar together in the evening to see the night view of the Bund.

Then the two of them sat in front of the computer, started a game of CSGO, and couldn't stop playing.

After winning a game: Great! A big score! Another one! I feel I can get more points.

Lost a game: I didn’t play well in the last wave, I was a little too excited, let’s play again!
Draw: Damn, I’m so C, but my CS teammates are still giving up. I don’t agree, let’s play again!
……

As the strike continued billions of times, the sky had unknowingly become completely dark.

Feeling a little hungry, the two ordered takeout during the break and continued playing games.

When the two came to their senses again, it was already dawn outside the window.

The two of them played CSGO all night long.

In fact, players who often play CSGO know that this game is actually very energy-consuming.

After all, the game of CSGO basically does not give you any rest time. A small game lasts 2 minutes, and you need to stay highly focused for at least 1 minute and 20 seconds.

For a normal person, playing two or three games may not be a problem, but if you play more times, your energy will inevitably decrease and you will feel tired.

CSGO is not like MOBA games like LOL or DOTA2. You can't relax every time you die, go home for supplies, wait for soldiers to join the lane, or even wait for the game to start. CSGO gives you very little time to relax.

But Qin Miao and Zhou Guanyu's professions are destined to enable them to concentrate their attention for long periods of time without becoming distracted.

So after they were immersed in the game, they played all night without feeling too much discomfort and were constantly immersed in the game.

It was not until the sky had completely brightened that the two realized that it was already the next morning.

"Fuck, we worked all night!" Qin Miao was shocked.

Zhou Guanyu was more open-minded: "Staying up late is bad for your health, so it's just right to stay up all night, there's nothing wrong with that!"

Qin Miao ignored Zhou Guanyu's jokes and rubbed his temples helplessly.

When Qin Miao arrived in Shanghai, he originally planned to stay at Zhou Guanyu's house for one night and then go to Shanghai to play the next day.

But I played too much and played all night long, and now my daily routine is completely messed up.

However, things had come to this point and there was no room for change, so the two quickly turned off the computer, took a shower, and went to bed.

Fortunately, both of them had good physical conditions, and with years of exercise and a regular life, they both regained their energy after sleeping for a morning.

Fortunately, these two are young. If old comrades like Hamilton and Alonso had to endure the same situation as Zhou Guanyu and Qin Miao, they would probably not be able to recover in three or four days.

Qin Miao did not go out in the afternoon and spent the whole afternoon doing physical training at home with Zhou Guanyu.

It was not until the third day that Qin Miao and Zhou Guanyu went to the competition together.

Today happens to be the open day of the Shanghai Open, and the sun is out in Shanghai.

However, the local temperature is still hovering around 0°, and the track temperature is only in the single digits, which is not very suitable for driving on the track.

At this track temperature, without a tire warmer, the temperature of the car's tires cannot rise at all. And even with a tire warmer, at this air temperature, the car's tires will cool down quickly. Even if Qin Miao drives the car on the track himself, there is no way to ensure that the temperature of the tires remains in the most suitable working window.

Of course, this does not affect Qin Miao and Zhou Guanyu from participating in the competition.

This is also Qin Miao's third time to come to the competition.

The two of them didn't say anything to the organizers.

If it was Zhou Guanyu, he would probably say hello to the people from Jiushi Sports when he went to the game, and then arrange an event or something.

But Qin Miao didn't like to do these things, he just went to the competition as a normal tourist.

Before leaving, Qin Miao also rented two Ferrari 488GTBs from a car dealership near Shanghai.

This is the standard 18-model Ferrari 488GTB. There is no upgrade, but it is very classic.

In fact, there is an AMG GT Black Warrior in this car rental store, which is exactly the same as the one Toto gave to Qin Miao. Qin Miao originally wanted to rent that car.

But today Qin Miao still had the idea of ​​competing with Zhou Guanyu, but there was only one AMG GT Black Warrior, so Qin Miao did not choose AMG in the end.

In the past, Qin Miao did think that the long hood and short butt of the AMG GT were a bit ugly, but after looking at it for a long time and getting used to it, Qin Miao actually thought that the car was quite good-looking.

Sharp edges and full of attack power.

Zhou Guanyu was not participating in any business activities at this time. He came out this time just to try it out with Qin Miao. After a year of experience in the F1 paddock, when he drove a racing car with performance almost the same as Qin Miao's, the gap between him and Qin Miao was shortened.

So Zhou Guanyu also rented a Ferrari 488GTB.

And even if someone takes a photo of Zhou Guanyu driving a Ferrari, there is nothing to worry about.

Because Ferrari and Alfa Romeo are both car brands under the Fiat Group.

Sometimes when there are races where Arrow cars are not introduced, Zhou Guanyu and Bottas will drive their Ferraris to the track to work.

This also shows the relationship between the two teams.

However, in order to ensure fairness of the competition, before Qin Miao and Zhou Guanyu left the track, Zhou Guanyu replaced the two cars with a new set of tires and brake pads at his own expense.

For Zhou Guanyu, even though this is a Ferrari, replacing a set of original tires and brakes is just a small amount of money.

As for the owner of the car rental company, Qin Miao and Zhou Guanyu would be willing to give the car to these two gentlemen, let alone changing the tires and brakes.

You can change it at will! You can change the engine.

After recognizing Qin Miao and Zhou Guanyu and knowing that they were planning to rent a car from him, the boss had already made a plan.

After the two F1 drivers returned the cars, he put them on display.

It's right in front of the rental car shop.

The two drove to Shanghai in a 488GTB that was basically the same except for the color.

It is worth mentioning that the engine horsepower of the car driven by Qin Miao is slightly less than that of Zhou Guanyu.

The main reason is that Qin Miao's car has a mileage of nearly 5,000 kilometers more than Zhou Guanyu's. After all, this car is for rent. God knows what kind of driving style the person who rents this car will use to torture the car.

Zhou Guanyu's car was bought by the car rental company later, so it had a short mileage and was less damaged.

However, with such a performance gap, this competition is relatively fair.

The two followed the normal process and entered the upper competition.

At this time, there were all kinds of vehicles running on the track, including ordinary family cars, electric cars that have become popular in recent years, and even super sports cars.

Qin Miao was not surprised by this.

Neither Qin Miao nor Zhou Guanyu were worried about encountering slow cars on the track.

Both are confident in their driving abilities.

Taking out the intercom, Qin Miao said, "You go first, I'll attack you."

Zhou Guanyu did not give in: "Okay, your Mercedes-Benz car has better performance on the track, I really can't do anything about it, but things are different now, the performance of my car is better than yours, and you are not allowed to deny it if you fail to beat me."

Qin Miao sneered: "Is it true that I have dozens of horsepower more than you? Wait and see if I don't overtake you to death!"

"If you can't overtake me by then, just don't curse at me behind your back."

"Let's do a warm-up lap first. I feel like the tires have no grip at all right now."

"I also have this feeling."

I haven't paid off last month's debt yet, so I won't be counting this month's extra chapters. I'll pay off last month's debt first and then count this month's. I'm really sorry. (End of this chapter)
