How did I become an F1 driver?

After all, Qin Miao was the champion of the Italian leg of the race, so after the competition, Qin Miao still attended the celebration banquet.

After the Italian Grand Prix ended, Qin Miao did not meet up with Zhou Guanyu, Leclerc and others.

Although the next Grand Prix weekend will come after a week's break after the Italian Grand Prix, Qin Miao still has a lot of things to prepare during this week. And the most important thing is that the Italian Grand Prix is ​​the last European race of the 2023 season. The remaining 8 races will be either in Asia or America.

By then, the upgrade of the fleet will slow down. Long-distance flights and constantly traveling around the world in a short period of time to adapt to the microbiome of different regions will be a test for everyone in the team.

Although Qin Miao has experienced two seasons and is very familiar with everything, he still needs to make necessary preparations.

So after the game, Qin Miao completed his work and appeared at the doorstep of his home in Monaco the next day.

After opening the door, Qin Miao heard the sound of cooking coming from the kitchen.

Qin Miao looked towards the kitchen at home curiously and saw his wife wearing an apron and cooking.

Qin Miao came over curiously: "Why are you cooking? Just order takeout. Didn't Princess Charlene give you the phone number of the palace chef?"

Qiu Meng was startled when she suddenly heard someone talking behind her.

After turning around and seeing Qin Miao, he punched Qin Miao in anger: "There was no sound when the door opened. Are you trying to scare me?"

After venting a little, Qiu Meng explained, "It's not good to trouble others all the time. Besides, you just came back, so I must let you eat something good."

Qin Miao didn't think too much about it and said directly: "People do this job. Whether we order takeout or not, they still have to cook every day. And they don't cook alone, but a team of chefs.

But, hey, thank you, my wife, you have worked hard, thank you!"

"Virtue~"

"Take a bath before going to see the kids, woo..."

……

After scolding his wife harshly, Qin Miao took a quick shower, changed into loose clothes, and went to the baby room.

At this time, Qin Muchu had a wrinkled face, but his body was very stretched as he lay in the crib sleeping.

Pingping and Anan, who were guarding Qin Muchu, looked up at Qin Miao when they saw him come in.

When Pingping saw that Qin Miao had come back, the whole dog became excited, but it also knew that Qin Muchu was sleeping, so it didn't bark. It just ran to Qin Miao happily, stood up and dug into Qin Miao's arms.

Qin Miao took out the sausage and stuffed it into the dog's mouth.

After An An glanced at Qin Miao, she lay down again, squinting her eyes and guarding beside Qin Muchu.

Qin Miao reached out and stroked the dog's head twice, then came to his daughter's bed.

When An An saw Qin Miao coming, she stopped lying down, stood up, stretched, and staggered to the automatic water dispenser to drink water.

Qin Miao did not wake up his daughter. He just went over to look at Qin Muchu's rosy little face and couldn't help but reach out and pinch it gently.

Qin Miao had just pinched it when Pingping's dog paw pressed down Qin Miao's hand, and then used the dog's head to push Qin Miao out of the room.

The general meaning is that Xiaodeng is sleeping, so don't wake her up.

I glared at the dog with some annoyance and asked, "Did I just feed the sausage to the dog?"

Hey wait, you look like a fucking idiot.

But you are a Border Collie!
……

However, Qin Miao also knew that Pingping did this to prevent him from disturbing his daughter's sleep.

So Qin Miao didn't bother with it anymore.

Qin Miao had a very pleasant two-day rest period.

Without Leclerc's bunch of bastards coming to my house for free meals every day, my daughter is cute, my wife is beautiful, and I have a cat and a dog. Although the work is tiring, it gives me a great sense of accomplishment, the salary is high, and most importantly, I like it.

This is already like living a god's life.

After resting at home for two days, Qin Miao and Leclerc rented a short-term training base, and the two drivers started training together.

The reason for such special training is that the competition environment on the track began to deteriorate rapidly after leaving Europe.

Especially with the Singapore Grand Prix next week, Qin Miao’s previous knowledge of Singapore was only about the Strait of Malacca.

I also practiced the Marina Bay Circuit on the simulator for a period of time, and heard from the old man how bad the environment was during the race at the Marina Bay Circuit.

But after Qin Miao actually ran the first Grand Prix of his career in Singapore, he realized how uncomfortable it was during the Singapore Grand Prix.

That track wasn't just hot, it was muggy.

The worst thing is that the Marina Bay Circuit is right by the sea and the air is extremely humid.

Strictly speaking, the feeling of racing at the Marina Bay Circuit is a bit like wearing a full set of F1 racing suits, a helmet and gloves, and sitting in a sauna room at about 65 degrees Celsius while fully armed, driving and resisting the G-force of the car at high speed.

At the same time, during the whole process, you must keep your head clear and clearly judge the situation and circumstances of the track at that time.

If a normal person runs five or six laps in such an environment, he will probably faint in the cockpit of the racing car.

F1 drivers like Qin Miao can run 62 laps in such an environment, and after that they still have the energy to get out of the car and accept interviews.

This is also why Qin Miao took Leclerc to set up a special training base before the race started.

After all, no matter how strong your F1 driver's physical fitness is, you are still a mortal. For such a harsh competition environment, you definitely need to do some adaptive training in a similar environment in advance.

Even if you do these adaptive trainings, you will still be exhausted during the competition.

But at least before the game, you can be mentally prepared, and when you are prepared, at least your mind will be much clearer during the game than when you are not prepared.

Of course, Qin Miao did not forget to remind Ye Yifei to let Lynk & Co take him to do adaptive training in advance to prevent him from fainting in the car due to unpreparedness.

In fact, under normal circumstances, there is absolutely no need for Qin Miao to do this.

After all, these teams have been in F1 for so many years, and they must have their own complete training process for new drivers.

Basically all the possible pitfalls have been encountered in the first one or two years after a new team is established. Even if there are no pitfalls, when a new team is established, some experienced people will be poached from other teams to serve as leaders, and they will generally make arrangements.

But in any case, the team will definitely have a complete charter, which also applies to new drivers.

But the problem is that the current Lynk & Co is strictly speaking a new team. Although it has many people from the former Red Bull, it is still a brand new team.

The 2023 season is their first season in F1.

No one can say for sure whether they will forget these minor details.

However, in the end, it turned out that Qin Miao's worries were unnecessary. After all, Lynk & Co did not dismantle the entire skeleton of the Red Bull Racing team. It just added some new people and did not dismantle too many things.

But when it comes to dismantling things, there is one thing that must be mentioned.

It is said that Toro Rosso originally had quite a few Japanese employees.

Although Lynk & Co did not touch these people after taking over Red Bull, the Japanese cultural festival and other festivals promoted by these people within the team were all stopped, which naturally made Honda very dissatisfied.

Many people even resigned in protest.

But Lynk & Co is also tough and will not give in at all. Anyone who wants to resign does not have to wait until you resign. I will be merciful and issue you the resignation directly, and will give you every penny of compensation.

They were originally planning to develop their own engine together with Red Bull, and now they are using Honda's products only because Toro Rosso used Honda's engine before.

If it weren't for the fact that changing the engine in the middle of the season is really inconvenient and prone to cause many unpredictable problems, the most important thing is that they are still bound by a contract with Honda and are really inseparable.

Otherwise, Qin Miao felt that, given the character Lynk & Co is showing now, the first thing they would do after acquiring Toro Rosso would be to eliminate Honda and replace it with engines from other suppliers.

Of course, Qin Miao didn’t know so much about the internal news of the Lynk & Co team before.

Although both parties have a good impression of each other, it is not a formal cooperative relationship after all, and Lynk & Co has no reason to tell Qin Miao about the internal information of the team.

But after Ye Yifei joined Lynk & Co, the news naturally spread to Qin Miao.

In fact, we were just chatting in the group, and we all knew everything while chatting.

……

It's Sunday, and Qin Miao is having a day off today. Tomorrow is the competition week, so Qin Miao has a rare chance to be lazy at home for a day.

Qin Miao got up a little late because little Muchu was not well behaved the whole night and cried several times.

It wasn't because he had pooped or urinated, nor was he hungry. He was just crying. After I held him and comforted him for a while, he fell asleep again.

Although Qiu Meng was the one who handled it, Qin Miao was also woken up several times.

It was just eight o'clock when there was a knock on the door.

Then Qin Miao had just sat up from the bed and was about to open the door when the door of his house was opened.

As soon as he heard the noise from the door lock, Qin Miao knew that the person at the door knew the password of his door lock.

This person is either Leclerc or Zhou Guanyu. Apart from these two, only Qin Miao's father-in-law, mother-in-law and mother know the password of Qin Miao's home.

Through tracking their friends, Qin Miao learned that the three elders had bought a C1 RV in China.
Just like Qin Miao’s RV, it is 5.99 meters long and can be driven with a blue license plate.

Very comfortable.

After hearing the sound of the door opening, Qin Miao no longer tried to get up, but tilted his head and lay back on the bed.

After a while, Leclerc, who had changed into slippers, pushed open the door of Qin Miao's room and walked into Qin Miao's room.

After seeing Qin Miao still lying on the bed, Leclerc thought for a moment, then went to the kitchen and quickly picked out a small piece of ice from the ice maker in the refrigerator.

After returning to Qin Miao's bedroom, Leclerc tiptoed and stuffed the ice into Qin Miao's collar.

Originally, Qin Miao was in a half-asleep and confused state.

After being tricked by Leclerc, Qin Miao felt a piercing chill in his chest and suddenly became sober.

"Fuck."

Qin Miao jumped up from the bed and hurriedly shook out the ice cubes in his clothes.

Seeing Leclerc holding a mobile phone to record the video, Qin Miao's forehead veins bulged and he reached out to grab the phone in Leclerc's hand.

At this time, Qin Miao really wanted to snatch Leclerc's mobile phone and smash it on his head.

Leclerc also reacted quickly. He dodged backwards the moment he noticed Qin Miao's intention and let Qin Miao pass.

Qiu Meng opened her sleepy eyes in confusion and looked at Qin Miao who was running out.

Then continue to lie in bed and sleep.

After Qin Miao chased to the living room, he found that Leclerc did not come alone today, he also brought his girlfriend Alexander Müller.

This was not Qin Miao's girlfriend when he first met Leclerc. Charlotte Sini, the daughter of a wealthy Monaco tycoon, ultimately failed to be with Leclerc.

To be honest, as a man, Qin Miao can more or less understand Leclerc's mentality when facing women.

As for myself...

Although Qiu Meng usually looks weak and seems easy to bully, after getting along with her for so many years, Qin Miao knows that she is the kind of person who is gentle on the outside but strong on the inside.

And when she was with her, Qiu Meng could always create many surprises and unexpected things for Qin Miao.

This is also the reason why the couple’s relationship has always been good, after all, there is always fun.

Back to the topic.

Qin Miao was familiar with Leclerc's current girlfriend, so after saying hello, he did not continue to chase Le Lao Si.

If there were no one else, Qin Miao would definitely give Leclerc two punches before he would let it go, but now Leclerc's girlfriend is at home after all, so Qin Miao has to give his rebellious son some face.

So after Qin Miao gave Leclerc a Great Wilderness Prisoner's Sky Finger, he said hello to Leclerc's girlfriend and went to wash up.

After everything was done, Qin Miao went to take a look at the baby room next door.

An An was still sleeping at this time, lying outside little Muchu's crib.

Pingping is not in the baby room. He must have gone out to play.

Sometimes Qin Miao found that it was not a good thing for the dog to be too smart.

Because Qiu Meng had a sudden idea, she entered the dog's paw into the fingerprint lock at home, and the dog's face was also recorded.

Then I taught the dog how to open the door.

Qin Miao still remembers the shocked look on Pingping's face when he found out that his dog's paws and face could unlock the door of his home.

It's hard to believe that this kind of look can be seen on the Border Collie's shrewd face.

Then the dog completely let himself go.

Basically every morning around 6 o'clock, when it is just getting light, it will open the door of the house and run out to play. It will come back by itself around 8:30 when Qiu Meng starts to prepare breakfast.

After breakfast, it will not go out and will stay at home with Qiu Meng and Qin Muchu.

As for why it doesn't go out during the day...

Because walking dogs without a leash is not allowed on the streets of Monaco, stray dogs are even more prohibited. If you see them, they will be taken to a rescue center, but in the morning... no one cares.

To be honest, in the past few days after returning from the Monza Grand Prix, Qin Miao really suspected that his Border Collie might be a protagonist from a novel who had died and traveled through time to become a dog. It was too smart.

Great wisdom is like a demon!
