How did I become an F1 driver?

Qin Miao's learning ability was so strong that Leclerc was caught off guard, and when it was almost time for dinner, Leclerc discovered with some despair.

Now no matter what method he used to attack, Qin Miao was like a huge roadblock across the track, always blocking him in some strange positions.

He tried seven or eight more times. Three of them, Leclerc ran into Qin Miao. The other four times, Leclerc was blocked by Qin Miao behind him and could not move forward at all.

"I don't want to play anymore, I don't want to play anymore, it's boring. You're driving a fucking thing, right? There's no way you can overtake." Leclerc yelled as he jumped off the simulator.

It can be seen that he was indeed tortured by Qin Miao.

Qin Miao also got off the simulator with some reluctance.

100 points in defensive ability does not mean that Qin Miao only has 100 points in defensive ability. His learning speed of defensive skills is naturally also at the 100 point level.

It's basically at the level of having a photographic memory. At the same time, Qin Miao has a high level of comprehension. With a little practice, he can quickly master this defensive skill, and he can make a talented driver like Leclerc want to curse.

Looking at Qin Miao who came down from the simulator with a relaxed look on his face, Leclerc touched his chin and asked doubtfully: "Are you making fun of me? In fact, you are very capable, but you have been acting all the time."

Qin Miao rolled his eyes in annoyance: "You mean I have to buy you two meals just to show off with you, right?"

Leclerc thought about it and felt that Qin Miao was right. There was really no need for him to do this.

"But if you really just came to me for training, isn't your learning ability a little too amazing?"

"Oh, this is just the beginning. You'll get used to it."

Leclerc: “…”

"I'm going to cook."

……

When it was time for dinner, Qin Miao had already prepared dinner. Qiu Meng also came to Leclerc's house pushing the stroller and bringing the dog.

During dinner, Qin Miao and Qiu Meng were the most relaxed.

Because it is normal to eat at this time, Qin Miao has to finish his meal quickly and then take over Qiu Meng's shift to feed Xiao Muqiu.

Only at this time can Qiu Meng start eating.

But today, because the meal was cooked at Leclerc's home, Leclerc's mother, Pascal Leclerc, was also at home.

Little Muchu used her natural succubus-like terrifying charm to completely captivate old mother Leclercq.

During the meal, the task of feeding Xiao Muqiu naturally fell to Leclerc's mother.

In addition, Pascal is a mother of two children. She raised Charles and Arthur with great difficulty, so she is naturally good at taking care of children.

So when eating, Pascal would take a bite himself and then feed little Muchu a bite, without delaying either himself or little Muchu.

Qin Miao and Qiu Meng, the couple, had a dinner without being disturbed by their children for the first time in a long time.

However, the happy time was short after all. After dinner, Pascal still kept Qin Miao and Qiu Meng at home for a while.

She really liked Xiao Muchu, but at around 9 o'clock in the evening, Qin Miao and Qiu Meng still took their daughter back home.

In the next few days, Qin Miao stayed at home with his wife and daughter.

Although Qin Miao also received invitations from Leclerc, Norris and others to go fishing, the old man invited Qin Miao to go mountain climbing, and Zhou Guanyu invited Qin Miao to return to China to participate in some business activities.

But Qin Miao refused them all.

The only thing he didn't refuse was Leclerc's invitation to play games. After all, he didn't have to go out to play games.

In fact, Qin Miao still wanted to stay at home more and spend more time with his wife and daughter.

After all, Qin Miao is not like them. He is not married and has no children. Naturally, they cannot understand the regret of missing out on a large amount of time during their children's growth process.

F1 drivers like Hulkenberg who have children may be more familiar with Qin Miao's thoughts and state.

After resting comfortably at home for a few days, Qin Miao was completely relaxed.

Of course, no matter how much fun he had, Qin Miao did not forget his main job.

I haven’t given up on my daily training.

Two weeks passed comfortably like this, and before the competition week, Qin Miao returned to Brackley with his wife, daughter and pets.

When she arrived at her doorstep, Qiu Meng's eyes lit up as she looked at the Koenigsegg at the door.

After all, Qiu Meng bought the car with her own money. Although Qin Miao's name was written on the car purchase contract, Qin Miao and Qiu Meng agreed that the car belonged to Qiu Meng.

When in Monaco, Qiu Meng also saw Leclerc's Koenigsegg.

Although Qiu Meng is not as obsessed with supercars as Qin Miao and Leclerc, under the influence of Qin Miao, Qiu Meng's interest in supercars has been cultivated by Qin Miao invisibly.

So after returning home, Qiu Meng handed the child to Qin Miao and drove to the Silverstone Circuit herself.

Today is Sunday and the Silverstone circuit is open to the public.

Qin Miao didn't care too much. After all, although Qiu Meng had never driven a racing car, with Qin Miao's tireless encouragement, Qiu Meng drove quite well on the simulator.

Qin Miao was not worried that the girl might encounter any accidents on the track.

But sometimes accidents happen so unexpectedly, and Qiu Meng really had an accident on the track.

When Qiu Meng walked home with the helmet, Qin Miao asked Qiu Meng in surprise: "No, where is the car?"

Only after Qiu Meng explained it did Qin Miao understand the whole story.

It is true that Qiu Meng had a car accident on the track, but fortunately Qiu Meng was not seriously injured. However, her Koenigsegg Josko had just run a few laps on the track when it had an accident.

However, this car accident was not Qiu Meng's fault. In fact, Qiu Meng was the victim.

The reason was that he was hit by a guy driving an Audi R8.

On the open day of the track, the people who can come to play on the track are basically those who love racing. Britain is also the birthplace of the sport of F1, so naturally there will be many F1 fans coming to the scene on the open day.

The video of Qin Miao driving this car and fighting with Leclerc on the track at Silverstone is still widely circulated among the fans of Qin Miao and Leclerc.

Therefore, many F1 fans have seen that video, and almost all of Qin Miao’s fans have seen it.

And on the track today, a young man driving an R8 is Qin Miao's fan.

He is a true car fan. Even the paint on his R8 is Mercedes-Benz's number 77. After knowing that Qin Miao would join Ferrari next season, the Ferrari prancing horse icon appeared on the body of the Audi R8.

After arriving at the Silverstone Circuit, he noticed the Koenigsegg Josko driven by Qiu Meng at first sight.

When he first saw this car, he was just a little surprised. After all, it is rare to see a Koenigsegg Josko on the racing track. And the first thing he thought of when he saw this car was that Qin Miao also had a similar Koenigsegg Josko.

It’s just that the interior of Qin Miao’s car is pink, so it’s easy to recognize.

After all, he is a fan of Qin Miao. When he saw a car that was exactly the same as Qin Miao's racing car, he also knew that Qin Miao lived in Brackley, and the Silverstone Circuit was right next to Brackley. Naturally, he would have some fantasies. Could it be that this car was driven by Qin Miao?
So he leaned over and took a look out of curiosity.

Because the windows of the Koenigsegg Josko are anti-peep glass, the fan cannot see what the person inside the car looks like, but what is certain is that the interior of the car is indeed pink. There are many cars with pink interiors in the world, including supercars, but as far as he knows, the only Koenigsegg Josko with a pink interior in the world is Qin Miao's.

"Fuck!"

This is the most genuine feeling in the fan's heart after seeing this car and recognizing that it is Qin Miao's car.

Then he was eager to go to the track to compete with Qin Miao.

After all, both of them were on the track at this time, and both were driving sports cars with good performance.

The most important thing is that as an ordinary person, you can’t say there is no chance that you can compete with your favorite F1 driver on the track, but it can only be said that it is absolutely impossible.

Therefore, when this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity is presented to a fan who loves F1 racing and thinks he is a good driver, it is difficult for him to resist competing with the F1 driver.

Even if the other party surpasses me, I will still accept it with all my heart.

Qiu Meng was having fun in the car when he suddenly saw someone trying to overtake him. He discovered that the other person was driving an R8 and that his Koenigsegg Josko had an absolute performance advantage over his car, so he just stepped on the accelerator and left the other person behind.

After that, Qiu Meng didn't pay much attention to the other party, but when Qiu Meng slowed down a little, the other party caught up with her again.

And soon caught up with Qiu Meng's car who was not prepared.

But he was just a car fan after all, and he didn't have that much time to hone his skills on the track. Plus, when he saw his idol Qin Miao appear on the track, he found it hard to control himself for a moment.

He even drove with one hand while holding up his phone to record the video with the other.

After all, the opportunity to compete with his idol on the track is too rare. Although there is a dash cam in his car, he was so excited that he forgot about it.

Also lost my sense of proportion.

So before the braking point at T1, he missed this easy-to-find braking point because he had too many things to take into consideration.

Then as expected, he rear-ended Qiu Meng's Koenigsegg Josko.

At this time, Qiu Meng was turning. Although the condition of the car was not as extreme as Qin Miao's when she turned, there was not even the sound of the tires when Qiu Meng turned.

But after being hit suddenly like this, the car completely lost its grip...

After listening to Qiu Meng's story, Qin Miao looked at her cautiously and asked tentatively: "Then you..."

"Hey, I'm fine." Qiu Meng waved her hand.

"No, I'm not talking about the person, I'm talking about how you feel... After all, the new car was hit like this."

"Oh, it's okay. I bought insurance for the car. Besides, the person who hit me was your fan and you can see he likes you very much. Besides, he didn't do it on purpose. The most important thing is that after this drive, I guess I will just throw this car in the garage. Who would drive this car to and from get off work for no reason?" Qiu Meng said.

"Oh, it's nothing. I bought insurance for the car anyway."

Qin Miao scratched his head: "Let's not talk about whether you are a car fan or not, but the car you crashed on the track doesn't seem to be compensated by insurance..."

Qiu Meng: ...

Just when Qin Miao thought Qiu Meng would get furious after hearing what he said, Qiu Meng continued to wave her hands and said, "That's not a big problem. It's not like I can't afford to repair the car. If it's too expensive, I can just give up this car and buy a new one."

Qin Miao gave Qiu Meng a thumbs up: "Rich woman."

As for asking Qin Miao's fans to accompany...

We can tell that Qiu Meng's Koenigsegg Josko's car is Qin Miao's car by the interior, so the person who crashed the car is most likely a fan of Qin Miao. Plus, looking at the paint job on his Audi R8 Mercedes, he must be a fan of Qin Miao.

Since he was her fan, and the reason for the car crash was that he was too excited to see Qin Miao's car, Qiu Meng did not ask him to pay for it.

Another reason is that Qiu Meng really doesn't need the money to repair the car.

"By the way, wife, where did you get all this money?" Qin Miao asked curiously.

Qin Miao didn’t understand it much before, but after spending some time with Qiu Meng, he found that Qiu Meng sometimes really didn’t take money seriously.

Throwing away tens of millions of dollars is as easy as pouring water from a cup into the toilet.

Qiu Meng did not answer, but teased Qin Miao with a smile: "How about it, young man, do you want a rich sister to support you? As long as you call me sister, I will buy you a car!"

The corners of Qin Miao's mouth twitched. This girl didn't show any emotional fluctuations after the car was hit. It seemed that to her today was just an ordinary day.

Just when Qin Miao was about to say something, Qiu Meng reached out and hooked Qin Miao's chin, looked at Qin Miao's face, nodded thoughtfully, and said: "The young man looks quite to my liking, elbow! Come into the house with me."

Qin Miao:……???
……

August 8, today is the first day after the summer vacation.

All teams' factories also resumed production today, and the Formula One World Grand Prix, which had been rested for half a month, resumed operation.

Qin Miao also returned to the Mercedes team's factory on the first day after the summer break.

Qin Miao came here today not only to report for duty on the first day after the holiday, but also to see which upgrades of the team have been applied to the racing car.

As for the FIA's requirement that everyone on the team take a holiday during the summer break...

There are policies from above and countermeasures from below...

The FIA ​​has introduced budget cap rules.

In order to circumvent this budget cap rule, the teams have come up with many ways to get around it.

Even making it very obvious.

For example, Aston Martin's Valkyrie supercar project, Red Bull's RB17 supercar, and Mercedes-Benz's sailing project.

Some people are curious, how do these projects circumvent the FIA's budget cap?

The method is very simple. You should know that the salaries of team employees are also included in the team's budget cap.

After all, the salaries of team employees are not as high as those of drivers, which easily amount to 5 or 6 million dollars.

But it is not low either. The annual salary of a senior designer may reach more than 100 million US dollars.

For example, if you are the owner of a racing team, and you offer your team leader or chief designer an annual salary of $200 million.

But in order to circumvent the budget cap and free up more budget space, you ask your team's chief designer or team leader to create a position in your sailing project department that sounds awesome but is actually idle.

Then the team will offer you, the team leader or chief designer, a salary of $20 a year, and the other $180 million will be paid by your sailing project department.

It neither violates the FIA's budget cap rules nor gives its employees sufficient annual salary, and there is no need to worry about them jumping ship.

It can be said that it kills three birds with one stone.

Since the FIA's budget cap can be avoided in this way, the regulation that racing cars cannot be developed during the summer vacation can also be avoided.

I was just working in the development room of my other job, I wasn't involved in the development of the F1 car, so when I came back to the team factory I came up with some good ideas...

Do you understand what the technological explosion is? (End of this chapter)
