How did I become an F1 driver?

On the other side, as Qin Miao dragged the severely damaged car across the finish line, the pressure on everyone in the Mercedes team's P room was relieved, and then there was jubilation.

Toto even stood up and cheered, then applauded Qin Miao for his performance on the track today.

While celebrating with his colleagues in the team, Franky also said in the team TR: "Qin Miao, amazing! This is an epic victory that reflects your personal ability!"

Of course, while praising him, Franky also reminded Qin Miao: "Of course, don't get too complacent, slow down and bring the car back safely."

Qin Miao was in a really good mood at the moment. The feeling of being chased by Verstappen just now turned into a feeling of relief for surviving the disaster.

The adrenaline and dopamine in the whole body begin to be secreted crazily.

The excitement and joy of victory filled my heart.

After hearing Frankie's congratulations and reminder, Qin Miao couldn't help but shout: "Let's fucking go'"

"Cool!"

After shouting, Qin Miao still said: "I will try my best to bring the car back intact."

After saying this, Qin Miao slowed down his already slow speed even more.

On the other side, Verstappen's track engineer also reminded Verstappen in the team TR: "MAX, the coolant pressure of the car is insufficient. It should be a leak. Pay attention when you come back. If there is any abnormality, just find a Matthew entrance to stop the car."

“Can I still open it now?”

"Okay, we'll remind you if there's any problem."

On the other side, in Portofino, Italy, on top of a four-story yacht, several men in suits were shaking their wine glasses and chatting and laughing with their friends, while the ongoing F1 Grand Prix was being played in front of them.

Among them, there is a person that many Tiefu Temple must be familiar with, and he is the chairman of Ferrari, John Elkann.

After seeing Qin Miao win the championship driving a tricycle, John Elkann directly called Ferrari team leader Vasseur.

In the paddock, Vasseur was sitting on the Ferrari team's podium, just like any other normal team leader.

At this point, almost all team leaders' phones were in vibrate mode.

It’s not that I’m afraid of disturbing other people’s work, but in the environment inside the paddock, sometimes I can’t hear the sound of my phone even if the speaker of my phone is turned to maximum.

Mainly because of this kind of working environment, you can only feel that someone is calling you when your phone is vibrating.

When I answered the phone, it turned out to be my boss.

But after seeing this call, Vassell was a little excited.

Because he had just submitted a report to John Elkann not long ago, wanting to capture Qin Miao at all costs.

Don’t want to participate in commercial activities? No problem!
Don’t want your team to limit your working hours? You can!

Want to have a say in the team and the ability to guide the development of the car? Yes!
In short, as long as you, Qin Miao, don't make impossible requests like wanting to be the leader of the Ferrari team, Ferrari will agree to everything you ask.

With an annual salary of 4000 million US dollars, taking into account these additional conditions, the salary Ferrari gives to Qin Miao is actually higher than Hamilton's annual salary during his peak period.

Wasser was really excited at this time.

The other party calling him at this time most likely means that John Elkann watched the game.

He also realized the importance of driver Qin Miao and was ready to let go.

Sure enough, after answering the phone, John Elkann said straight to the point: "I agree. The other project contents remain unchanged, and the annual salary increases to 5 million."

Vassar smiled.

When Leclerc's track engineer saw the smile on his team leader's face, a big question mark popped up in his head.

No, boss.

In today's race, one of our two drivers retired and the other finished sixth.

The results are really not that good... Compared with last season's Ferrari, there is a huge difference. How can you still smile?

But Vasseur didn't explain much, he just said confidently: "Okay boss, I will bring him to Maranello."

"Ah."

After responding, John Elkann took a sip of the champagne and toasted Qin Miao who was driving a three-wheeled Mercedes on the TV screen.

……

On the track, Qin Miao slowed down the speed of his car.

He lifted up his helmet visor, waved to the fans at the scene with a smile, and controlled his car to make way for the drivers behind him.

After all, Qin Miao's car couldn't be faster at this time. Even if Qin Miao wanted to speed up his car, the people in the team would not agree.

So Qin Miao simply controlled his car and drove back slowly.

Along the way, basically all the drivers who had a good relationship with Qin Miao would slow down when passing by Qin Miao, and drive parallel to Qin Miao for a short while, and then they would wave and say hello to Qin Miao in the cab.

This is also a disguised way of congratulating Qin Miao on winning the championship in today's game.

Defending champion Qin Miao also greeted and responded to his colleagues one by one with a smile.

Soon, Qin Miao's parade ended. Dragging the broken right front wheel and leaving sparks all over the ground, Qin Miao parked his car behind the first signboard.

At this time, even Verstappen had parked his car. Qin Miao was the last one to come back, and at this time almost everyone was waiting for the defending champion to return to the throne where he rightfully belonged.

After parking, Qin Miao had Verstappen's Red Bull car on his left and his teammate Hamilton on his right.

After Qin Miao parked the car, Reyes and others hurried over and inserted the radiator into the three air inlets of Qin Miao's racing car.

Although they were very worried about the condition of Qin Miao's car at this time, after all, they didn't know whether the wooden board at the bottom of Qin Miao's car had been worn beyond the FIA ​​rules after being on the track for so long.

After all, exceeding the FIA's limits will result in the cancellation of the race results.

However, according to FIA rules, before the FIA ​​staff complete the post-race inspection of the car, they are not allowed to touch the car except for installing these air-blowing and heat-dissipating devices into the air inlet of the car.

After parking the car, Qin Miao shook his numb hands.

Although the F1 steering wheel has power steering.

However, in order to allow the driver to feel the road conditions and the status of the car more clearly, the steering assist strength of the F1 car is not very strong.

Therefore, after Qin Miao's tire burst, the steering wheel was like a mad bull, shaking wildly in Qin Miao's hands.

Qin Miao had to keep a firm grip on the steering wheel to prevent his car from losing control.

After running the last timed section and one lap back, Qin Miao's hands were numb from the shock.

After getting out of the car, Qin Miao saw the enthusiastic smiles of his colleagues outside the guardrail. Standing on his own racing car, Qin Miao raised his hands and looked around.

The fans at the scene also understood and gave Qin Miao applause and cheers.

After enjoying the fruits of his victory, Qin Miao jumped off the racing car and, without even paying attention to his steering wheel, rushed directly towards the crowd.

To be honest, after rushing into the crowd of Mercedes team staff, Qin Miao felt that the force they hit his helmet was even stronger than when he won the annual championship last season.

Qin Miao's colleagues were indeed a little too excited at this moment.

After all, Qin Miao's car was a classic replica, and as colleagues of Hamilton, they knew how difficult it was for Qin Miao to bring the car back when it was missing a wheel.

Feelings of surprise and joy filled their hearts.

After hugging everyone briefly for a while, Qin Miao came to Toto. After hugging Toto, the wrinkles on Toto's face wrinkled together with a smile: "Well done, we are all proud of your achievements on the field today. After the game today, it is necessary to treat everyone to a good meal together to have fun."

"In your name."

Qin Miao didn’t think too much about it at this time, he just replied with a thank you.

But later, Qin Miao realized that Toto was helping him win the favor of other team members.

In other words, it means deepening the bond between yourself and other team members and taking your relationship with the team to a new level.

In this way, the cost of leaving the team will be very high, and the probability of leaving Mercedes-Benz will be lower.

Qin Miao didn't have any aversion, and Toto had indeed made a lot of efforts in the past two years to ensure that he could continue to stay in the team.

Qin Miao saw all of Toto's actions and efforts, and it would be a lie to say that he didn't dare to move.

People are all made of flesh and blood. Even a piece of stone would be warmed up after such a long time, not to mention that Qin Miao is a person who responds to soft words but not hard ones.

So at this time, the balance in Qin Miao's heart began to tilt.

What Iron Buddha Temple? It’s all lies.

It is nothing more than a bunch of deceitful talk fabricated by shoddy MLM organizations to brainwash the ignorant masses.

I, Qin Miao, will always be a loyal fan and driver of the Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team. If the team wants me to go east, I will never go west.

After all, as everyone knows, I have always highly praised the appearance and design concept of Mercedes' classic sports car AMG GT.

……

After congratulating each other with other senior executives of the team, Qin Miao turned around and prepared to accept post-race interviews.

But before that, Qin Miao and Hamilton hugged each other.

Looking at the exploded right front wheel of Qin Miao's car, Hamilton said jokingly: "I don't know why, but I see more and more of my past self in you. I feel like one day you will replace me."

After saying that, they both laughed together.

However, how much of Hamilton's words were a joke and how much were serious, probably only Hamilton himself knows.

Qin Miao did not give a direct answer, but just laughed it off and let the matter go.

Later, when facing Verstappen, Pan Zi had already taken off his helmet and sweat-absorbing headgear.

Qin Miao could see that Verstappen's expression when he looked at him was not very good at this moment.

Everything else might be fine, even the collision between Verstappen and Qin Miao on the track, Verstappen has come to his senses now.

It is unclear who was responsible for the collision. It can only be said that it was a normal track accident. If the FIA ​​really wants to impose a penalty, both drivers will be punished.

So Verstappen also took this matter very easy.

What really made Verstappen unacceptable was that Qin Miao gave him a braking test.

Verstappen has known Qin Miao for two years.

In the past two years, Verstappen has almost lost count of how many times he and Qin Miao have fought on the track.

The fight between the two can be said to have had its share of wins and losses, but it is undeniable that Qin Miao did win most of the victories.

But Verstappen knew that Qin Miao was strong.

But Qin Miao has been a very disciplined driver from beginning to end. Both his defense and offense were completed within the scope permitted by FIA rules.

Even if Qin Miao wants to push people off the track, he will only do so when Qin Miao is in front of your car.

Even Verstappen himself admitted that Qin Miao was much cleaner than himself on both offense and defense.

But this kind of thing is a family scandal after all, and he can't spread it around.

Therefore, although Qin Miao is Verstappen's biggest rival, he even snatched Verstappen's world championship last year from him.

But before the start of today's race, Verstappen still admired Qin Miao from the bottom of his heart.

This is a gentleman.

But after today's race, the image that Qin Miao had built in Verstappen's mind over the past two years completely collapsed.

Qin Miao's brake test left Verstappen confused.

Although doing so does not violate any FIA regulations, it is a grey area.

But it still broke Verstappen's first impression of Qin Miao.

So at this moment, Verstappen looked at Qin Miao with a complicated look.

On the one hand, I was surprised that Qin Miao actually started to play dirty, but on the other hand, I was somewhat worried.

Qin Miao doesn't play dirty. It was so hard for me when I was fighting with him. Now he starts to play dirty. Will I have a harder time in the second half of the season?
But even though he thought so, the two had no hatred outside the track. Now that the race was over, with so many cameras watching, it was impossible for Verstappen to directly punch Qin Miao for this reason.

So the two of them nodded to each other in a friendly manner, which could be regarded as a greeting to each other.

Qin Miao then completed the routine weigh-in, and after making sure there were no problems, he tidied himself up and came to the post-match interview session.

"Congratulations, Qin Miao. It's obvious that you won the championship for the Mercedes team with your own personal ability in today's race."

After Qin Miao heard this question, a big question mark popped up in his mind?

No, bro, are you out of your mind? Did anyone ask about this in the post-match interview?

Or did you receive money from Ferrari?

This question was indeed a bit presumptuous, and it was obviously provoking the harmonious relationship between Qin Miao and the team. (End of this chapter)
