How did I become an F1 driver?

After getting off the plane, Qin Miao first went to the hotel prepared by Mercedes-Benz for their family to check in. After putting his luggage away, Qin Miao turned and went to a farm bought by Leclerc.

After all, it is an American characteristic, and Leclerc plans to spend his birthday on the farm.

When Qin Miao arrived, there were already quite a few cars parked at the door.

After parking the Mercedes-Benz G arranged by the fleet, Qin Miao got out holding the child.

After pushing open the gate at the entrance, behind it is a standard American-style two-story building. Through the window, you can see people walking inside the building.

Qin Miao walked towards the house while admiring the vast plains of the United States.

Soon, Qin Miao arrived at the door of the room, and before he even entered, he heard the voices of Leclerc and his brother Arthur Leclerc talking inside.

After pushing the door open and walking in, Leclerc's family and friends naturally showed great enthusiasm for the sudden appearance of Qin Miao's family.

Especially little Muchu, even before Leclerc, the godfather, met him, Leclerc's mother took the lead in holding the little guy in her arms, and she loved the little guy's pink and tender face so much.

Qin Miao was quite familiar with Pascal, so he handed his daughter over to him with confidence.

After seeing the fourth brother coming over, Qin Miao smiled and hugged him: "Happy birthday."

"Thanks bro, but where's my gift?"

After the hug, Qin Miao took a step back and spread his hands: "I think given our relationship, being able to attend your birthday party is the best gift for you."

After hearing Qin Miao's nonsense, Leclerc narrowed his eyes and looked at Qin Miao with some ill intentions: "You'd better hand over the gift to me honestly! Otherwise, even if Xiao Muqiu begs me, I can't save you!"

Qin Miao actually wanted to play some jokes, but Qiu Meng couldn't stand the childishness of these two grown men anymore, so she stuffed the gift into Leclerc's hand and went to find Pascal and Leclerc's girlfriend.

Qin Miao is kind-hearted and doesn't worry about his daughter, but Qiu Meng is still somewhat concerned. Foreigners are a bit rough in taking care of children, and Qiu Meng is really worried.

Leclerc and his group of foreigners don't have the habit of opening gifts in front of others, so after Qiu Meng handed the gift to Leclerc, Leclerc opened it.

The gifts given by Qin Miao's family were not expensive, but Leclerc particularly liked the gifts prepared by Qin Miao's family.

Because what Qiu Meng gave Leclerc were rubbings of Qin Muchu's hands and feet.

It's a bit like the handprints and footprints of the stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, but this one is made of aluminum alloy and can be used as a decoration.

Leclerc has been in the F1 paddock for so many years, what gifts has he not received?
He had never received such a gift before.

But looking at the small handprint and footprint, Leclerc really liked it.

Without even bothering to greet Qin Miao, Leclerc took the gift and went to compare it with Xiao Muchu with great interest.

After Leclerc left, Qin Miao greeted Leclerc's two younger brothers with a smile.

There is no need to say much about Arthur, he is an old acquaintance.

However, this kid does not have the talent of his brother. Actually, it cannot be said that he has no talent. He still has talent, but it was not cultivated when he was a child. Now the ceiling of his talent is probably stuck in F2. If he cannot join F1 in a few years, he will either turn to Indy racing, or run endurance races, FE, etc.

But there is always a good way out. With his brother around, he doesn't have to worry about having no food to eat in the future.

After greeting the two of them, Qin Miao started wandering around Leclerc's house.

Qin Miao was not unfamiliar with this type of house. After all, this type of house often appeared in movies, but Qin Miao had never experienced it personally.

Now that he has this opportunity, he can't help but feel curious.

The rest of the time was relatively simple. Leclerc's acquaintances came one after another, some Qin Miao knew and some not. Soon Zhou Guanyu, Norris and Sainz also came. When the party was about to start, Vasseur also came.

The people present were all familiar to each other, and those that Qin Miao didn't know were mostly friends of Leclerc's girlfriend. They also had their own circles and didn't come here to hang out.

So when everyone gets together to chat, they are very casual and talk about whatever they think of without any reservations.

Nothing unexpected happened at Leclerc's birthday party. Instead, little Muchu was passed around by everyone.

However, after seeing this scene, Qin Miao and Qiu Meng became somewhat worried, because the little guy's attraction was even a little overshadowing.

Qin Miao was even a little worried that the fourth brother would have objections to this.

But looking at the little girl's smile, the fourth brother showed no sign of objection: nothing else matters, as long as the little girl is happy.

People are either electronic succubus or cyber succubus. Now little Muchu is directly in the form of a succubus infant.

No one dislikes her when they see her.

Qin Miao and Qiu Meng had always thought that this might be because of Qin Miao's identity. Everyone was so attentive to the little girl just for Qin Miao's sake. But as time went by, the two of them came to their senses. It seemed that this little girl was really a succubus...

After saying hello, it was natural for them to eat, drink and chat together.

During the entire party, Qin Miao and Qiu Meng, a couple, barely held little Muchu in their arms, except for changing the little girl's diapers and feeding her.

They were passed back and forth among Leclerc and the others.

The key is that the little girl is not afraid of people, she is cheerful and very well behaved, which makes others like her even more.

After the party ended in the evening, Qin Miao, Qiu Meng and the others naturally went to sleep at Leclerc's house. Before coming, the fourth brother had prepared a room for Qin Miao and his family.

But they are men after all. Even when it is time to go to bed, a few people who rarely get together will naturally not go to bed so early. Instead, they will get together to chat for a while, or indulge themselves for a while.

So after Qiu Meng took Xiao Muqiu to bed, Qin Miao came to the still somewhat messy living room and saw Zhou Guanyu and Leclerc watching football with beers in their hands.

Qin Miao didn't have a deep understanding of football. He only knew a few football stars, and those were only the more famous ones.

So he didn't join in the fun, but went to the kitchen refrigerator and got a bottle of orange juice.

After returning to the living room, Qin Miao did not mind the somewhat messy sofa and put his legs on the coffee table like the two of them.

Leclerc retracted his gaze when he saw Qin Miao coming over, looked at Qin Miao and asked: "The season is almost over, where do you want to go on vacation after it's over?"

Qin Miao shook his head: "I haven't thought about it. It's inconvenient to take a child anywhere to play, and most of my thoughts are currently on how to kill Verstappen. How can I have the leisure to think about these things?"

Leclerc said: "If you find it inconvenient, you can let me take care of Xiao Muqiu for a few days!"

Qin Miao glanced at Leclerc in annoyance and said, "You have never raised a child, and little Muchu likes you very much, so you have a natural filter for children. But in fact, after you really take the child to sleep, you can't say those words as easily as you did just now."

Zhou Guanyu brought the topic back to the point: "How many points behind Verstappen are you now in the standings?"

"13 points." Qin Miao took a sip of orange juice. "It shouldn't be a problem for you to catch up with Verstappen by 13 points in the standings." Leclerc said.

Qin Miao rolled his eyes in annoyance: "Which eye of yours can you see that it's easy to get these 13 points?"

"Weren't you frantically chasing points in the standings in the last two games?" Zhou Guanyu said.

Qin Miao sighed helplessly and said, "I was lucky in the last two games."

"Don't be so modest. We brothers still believe in your ability. The triple crown is just around the corner!" Leclerc said with a smile, putting his arm around Qin Miao's shoulders.

Qin Miao just smiled bitterly and stopped struggling. He raised the orange juice in his hand and clinked it with the two of them: "Then congratulate me in advance for winning the third world championship in my career..."

"Then each of you will give my daughter a red envelope."

"Why?" Zhou Guanyu and Leclerc expressed their confusion.

"Because I won this championship for my daughter."

Zhou Guanyu:?

Fourth brother:?
……

On Thursday, Qin Miao walked the track as usual.

After walking the track, Qin Miao returned to the team's P room. Just as he was about to go to his computer to record the changes in the asphalt he felt while walking on the track, Barber came over.

"Qin Miao, have you read the news about fines released by the FIA ​​last week?" Barber asked casually.

Qin Miao was stunned: "What news about the fine?"

Barber was not surprised by this. Qin Miao was sometimes indeed not very sensitive to the situation.

"Last week the FIA ​​increased the maximum fine for drivers from $25 to $100 million."

Qin Miao was stunned after hearing this: "What the hell?"

"You heard it right." Barber shrugged and said, "Before today's press conference begins, the reporters will definitely ask you questions about this. After all, this is a hot topic in the paddock at the moment, so before attending the pre-race press conference, I suggest you think about how to answer questions about this."

Qin Miao scratched his head: "Is the FIA ​​crazy about money?"

"No... What on earth did we F1 drivers do to be fined $100 million?"

"Throwing cigarette butts into the Petronas oil storage facility while smoking? Or lighting a fire in Pirelli's tire reserve area? Leaving all drivers without tires during the Grand Prix."

"And I think the best way to deal with something that could get you a $100 million fine is not to fine it."

"What's that?" asked Barber.

"They should go straight to the police station." After a pause, Qin Miao asked again: "They have to have a reason for increasing the punishment for no reason, right?"

Barber: "According to the FIA, the penalty had not changed for a long time, so it was updated."

Qin Miao:?
"Ha ha ha ha."

People really laugh when they are speechless. After hearing the reasons given by the FIA, Qin Miao really couldn't hold back his laughter.

Barber also smiled bitterly, the FIA ​​is really becoming more and more abstract.

After laughing for a while, Qin Miao said, "Okay, I understand."

In the afternoon, Qin Miao attended the press conference before the start of the US Grand Prix according to the schedule. The four drivers who attended the press conference with Qin Miao were Pan Zi, Lao Si, Albon and Russell.

After arriving at the scene, Qin Miao didn't even say anything to Pan Zi, but greeted other familiar drivers.

On the contrary, Pan Zi had a good chat with Russell.

Soon the pre-race interviews were ready and the drivers found their seats.

In fact, the staff on site wanted to see Qin Miao and Pan Zi sitting in the middle.

After all, these two are competing for the world championship. Letting them sit in the middle, if nothing else, will definitely attract a lot of attention.

The picture will probably be beautiful too.

But Qin Miao and Pan Zi ignored him and pretended not to hear what the other said. They just found a seat and sat down.

Of course, there was a great distance between them.

The host couldn't do anything about these two dads and could only let them go.

After sitting down, reporters from many media outlets began asking questions.

The first person to be asked was naturally Qin Miao. After all, apart from Qin Miao, the only driver who had friction with the FIA ​​recently due to penalties was Leclerc. It was obvious that the fourth driver had no interest in a head-on conflict with the FIA. The reason why he stood on the opposite side of the FIA ​​was entirely for Qin Miao.

Therefore, strictly speaking, Qin Miao is the one who is against the FIA.

After this abstract operation by the FIA, Qin Miao naturally became the target of reporters, and everyone was curious about what sharp comments Qin Miao would give.

"Qin Miao, the FIA ​​revised the latest penalty rules last Friday, increasing the maximum fine for drivers from $25 to $100 million."

"Do you have anything to say about that?"

After hearing the question, Qin Miao picked up the microphone and thought for a moment, then spoke in the expectant eyes of the reporters on the scene: "We all know that the FIA ​​has always been committed to keeping F1 in a long-term development rhythm, so I think all the FIA's changes to the competition rules should be based on this goal."

When Qin Miao said this, the reporters at the scene, including the drivers sitting next to Qin Miao, looked at him in surprise.

No, buddy, weren't you still slamming the FIA ​​at this time last month, wanting to fight them directly? Why are you speaking up for the FIA ​​now?

At the same time, although the reporters were also surprised that Qin Miao actually said such a thing, the topic of Qin Miao's sudden reversal was also full of drama, and everyone was quite interested in it.

After all, Qin Miao's sudden about-face can be regarded as a topic of conversation, and in-depth exploration of this topic can also attract a lot of attention.

But Qin Miao's next words made everyone's eyes light up immediately.

"But I have a question. What did this unlucky guy do in the paddock to be fined $100 million by the FIA ​​in one go? If there is something that deserves a $100 million fine, I think it would not be the FIA's turn to intervene, but the police." (End of this chapter)
