How did I become an F1 driver?

Chapter 139 Chapter 137: Double-faced Three Swords and Qin Miao's Change
Four people ate this meal for almost three hours, adding water and a packet of seasoning four times.

After all, they are all engaged in sports, and all three of them can eat better.

But everyone has a degree of drinking, so after drinking the wine that Qin Miao called over, they didn't order any more, but started to chat about things in the paddock with the strength of the wine.

What can be said and what cannot be said is like throwing out beans.

Fortunately, this is just a private party after all, so there is no need to worry that what is said at this party will be spread.

Although Leclerc and Zhou Guanyu were still conscious after eating, Qiu Meng still called their assistant to take them back.

After the two were sent away, Qin Miao and Qiu Meng cleaned up and washed the pot before washing up and going to bed.

The next day, Qin Miao and Qiu Meng returned to Vicenza by car.

Qiu Meng went to return the hot pot to the boss, while Qin Miao went to report to Luo Xin.

After dealing with the matter at hand, the two returned to their home.

After working outside for so long, even Qin Miao's strong physical fitness was a bit exhausted, but after returning home, he still insisted on completing the physical training that needs to be completed every day and the daily training on the simulator.

However, after the training was completed, Qin Miao still started Xianyu directly, pulling Zhou Guanyu to play games together.

As for Leclerc?

After all, he is an F1 driver. Leclerc earns much more than the two of them a year, so the corresponding rest time is much less than the two of them.

Just like now, Qin Miao and Zhou Guanyu have nearly a week of rest after the F2 race, while Leclerc only has two days.

The rest of the time is either shooting photos for publicity or taking sponsorship advertisements, or participating in some programs and activities to expand your influence around the world as much as possible.

Qin Miao is happy to be at leisure, but Zhou Guanyu actually yearns for this kind of life of Leclerc. After all, as long as he is a person, he will subconsciously want to climb higher. Not everyone is as salty as Qin Miao. Go with the flow.

There is nothing to say about the rest time in the past few days. After all, the two of them have more free time during the rest, and because of the current environment, the two of them don't want to go out very much, so they can only stay at home and play games.

Because of this, Qin Miao and Zhou Guanyu scored another wave of points and finally returned to FPL.

However, the behavior of the two of them was quickly known by domestic car fans and friends.

Because Zhou Guanyu’s own CSGO game ID appeared on Weibo, Qin Miao’s Weibo posts are all casually snapped life photos, among which Qin Miao was captured by Qiumeng when he was playing the game. Not less.

So some car fans who also play CSGO curiously checked the inventory of the two, and found the game records of the two in Faceit according to the name of Steam.

Put it on the post bar.

Good guy, during the five-day holiday, the two of them played CSGO in the afternoon and evening of these five days. Basically, the two of them started playing after the lunch break in the afternoon. They played until dinner, and continued to play after dinner. Until the ten o'clock break at night.

Those who didn't know thought that these two were not official F2 drivers, but CSGO professional players, playing games so hard.

[These two addictions are a bit big]

[Internet addiction boy, right? 】

[High-intensity score when the holiday is off]

[You two look at others, many F2 drivers even went to F3 during this break time, just you stay at home and play computer for two days]

[Although playing games together can prove that the relationship between the two is really good, but don't forget your job too]

[What does it matter to you to play games during the holidays?Is it your turn to point fingers? 】

[Fuck, Xiao Qin and Xiao Zhou not only drive well, but also play CSGO so well?Play FPL directly? 】

[These two people are really fierce. Last time I saw them in Niko's live broadcast room, they were getting along well in FPL, but it seems that Niko and the others don't know the real identities of Xiao Qin and Xiao Zhou]

[I don’t know if I can see the two of them playing games live]

[It should not be possible, the drivers all have team contracts, and the general teams have regulations in this regard]

[This team is too wide]

In this regard, Qin Miao, who has recently put most of her energy into the game, naturally does not know.

However, after five days of being crazy, Qin Miao also started to get busy. The main thing she was busy with was the advertisements and photos that Qin Miao signed for the endorsement.

Although the requirements for these sponsorships are low, they are not without requirements.

But Qin Miao can take care of everything after a busy day today, and it doesn't take too much trouble.

After finishing her work, Qin Miao resumed her daily training.

Exercise in the morning, maintain the driving feel on the simulator at home, and report to the team in the afternoon, generally learning the driving style of other F1 drivers and practicing how to deal with emergencies.

This kind of life lasted for a few days. On Wednesday of the competition week, Qin Miao was suddenly stopped by a reporter when she was walking from the team's residence to her dormitory after completing a day's study.

Seeing him holding the microphone, followed by a staff member holding a video camera rushing towards her, Qin Miao was stunned for a while, then subconsciously took two steps back, and asked vigilantly, "What are you doing?"

"Hi Qin Miao, I'm a reporter from Italy Today Publishing House, can I ask you a few questions?"

To be honest, Qin Miao didn't read newspapers at all, and she hadn't even heard of the so-called Italy Today publishing house.

But before Qin Miao could say anything, the other party continued to ask in a hurry: "According to the rumors in the paddock, Ferrari is in contact with McLaren at this time, and it is rumored that Ferrari intends to sign Sainz under its command. The negotiation process is already underway. Regarding this, there are also rumors that you have signed with the Ferrari F1 team and performed well in the F2 race. It is very likely that you will enter the Ferrari team next season. Do you have anything to say? ?”

The other party babbled, babbled, and uttered a long paragraph, speaking very fast, but Qin Miao could hear what the other party was saying clearly.

To be honest, it is really a waste of his talent not to go to China to talk about cross talk with this eloquence.

Back to the other person's question.

After hearing the other party's question, Qin Miao thought carefully for a while. If the news is true, then Qin Miao would really feel a little sick after hearing the news.

He signed the contract with himself on the front foot, and rumors spread in the paddock on the back foot that Ferrari contacted Sainz.

You must know that there are no rumors in the F1 paddock, and the news that can spread in the paddock is probably true.

As for the authenticity of this rumor, there is no need to confirm it. Since the other party can come to him and ask himself this question bluntly, there is an [-]% possibility that what the rumor said happened in the paddock.

But Qin Miao can't do anything except disgusting. After all, no matter how he can control Thunder in F2, it's only in F2. F2 cars are fundamentally different from F1 cars.

Just because you can drive F2 well doesn't mean you can drive F1 well. There are reasons why Ferrari doesn't trust Qin Miao.

The uncomfortable feeling in her heart did exist, but in front of the reporter, Qin Miao knew that she couldn't show it.

"The recent races have proved Sainz's strength on the field. From the perspective of a Ferrari youth player, I certainly welcome Sainz to join. His joining will definitely make Ferrari have a brighter future." future!" Qin Miao's face was full of sincerity when he said this, as if what he said was what he thought in his heart.

However, the reporter was obviously dissatisfied with Qin Miao's answer, but Qin Miao, who had already answered a question, boarded his scooter and left.

The reporter who wanted to ask a few more questions could only helplessly watch Qin Miao's back disappear.

But after all, after getting Qin Miao's answer, he could go back to his boss to deal with the matter, so the tabloid reporter stopped pestering Qin Miao, but came to the photographer to see if the picture just taken was clear.

……

When Qin Miao returned home, thinking of the news she had just received, she felt her head swell.

But he didn't say much, turned around and opened the social software that he hadn't opened for a long time, looked through it, and indeed found this rumor.

And this rumor has spread quite widely, and many people are discussing this message.

This is really the first time for Qin Miao to experience this kind of thing. The other party has agreed with you that you can run for a season and try it out next season. We will only sign the contract for one year. If we perform well, we will renew the contract. Then you can also respond accordingly. If you don't perform well, don't you have so many teams out there wanting to contact you?You can also go to them.

Lehe agreed, and the contract was signed, but the other party turned around and went to find someone else.

Qin Miao was really convinced.

At the same time, after confirming that the rumor was true, Qin Miao's affection for Ferrari executives dropped to freezing point.

Neither did they call to inquire about the specific situation. At this time, Qin Miao and Ferrari had the same thoughts when they contacted Sainz. Anyway, the contract was only one year.

Since you feel that I am not suitable and have found someone else, then I will not renew the contract after the end of the contract, and I will go to find another job.

Qin Miao, the overall champion of F2 this year, is basically determined, because after winning the F2 championship, he can no longer stay in F2, so Qin Miao next season will either go to the Le Mans Endurance Race or go to FE In the electric formula, if Arlo and Haas are interested, Qin Miao would not mind being a mercenary in their team for a year.

Qin Miao still has a way out. After all, Qiu Meng and Qin Miao have said that some people in China have contacted her some time ago and said that they are planning to build a Le Mans team. If Qin Miao wants to join, they can ensure that Qin Miao is in the team. The tactical position of the number 1 driver.

The NIO team from FE also called Qiumeng.

However, facing FE, which is slower than F2, Qin Miao is really not interested, so in Qin Miao's priority, FE is ranked behind the endurance race.

Shaking her drowsy head, Qin Miao went to the refrigerator to get a bottle of Coke, and drank half of the bottle of Coke that was not good for her body. Qin Miao calmed down a little.

After taking a few deep breaths, Qin Miao got up and turned on the simulator.

"Damn it, are you kidding me? Are you looking for Sainz?" Sitting on the simulator, Qin Miao muttered, and started the first extra training in his life.

However, working hard in a short period of time will not bring too obvious results, and he will go to England tomorrow, so there is no extra time for Qin Miao to practice.

But this news did ignite a fire in Qin Miao's heart, which made Qin Miao dissatisfied with Ferrari and also made Qin Miao realize his own shortcomings.

After a few races in F2, Qin Miao was already a little drifting. At that time, he was not as enthusiastic about racing as before.

Although he still loved racing cars at that time, he found that he didn't have the feeling that he used to feel when he knew he was going to meet a racing car, and he couldn't help being excited immediately, and he couldn't wait to get into the racing car.

As the saying goes, when your hobby becomes a job, all your enthusiasm for the hobby will quickly fade away.

Qin Miao is currently in such a situation.

Therefore, during the rest time, Qin Miao no longer spent most of his time practicing his driving skills as before, but spent more time in the game.

Now that this happened, Qin Miao picked up the passion for racing that he had in China.

……

On Thursday, Qin Miao came to the UK alone with the car of the convoy.

Qin Miao did not go to the hotel prepared for him by the team this time, but went to Zhou Guanyu's house.

Zhou Guanyu also welcomed Qin Miao very much, and asked someone to help Qin Miao clean up his room before Qin Miao came.

Not being polite to the other party, Qin Miao checked in with her bags.

There was still some time in the morning, so Zhou Guanyu asked curiously: "What do you say in the morning? Bring two? After eating something at noon, go to the track in the afternoon, and I will take you to familiarize yourself with Silverstone."

Qin Miao shook her head and said, "I won't play in the morning, I will go to the simulator to practice the rain battle of Silverstone."

After speaking, he turned around and entered the room where Zhou Guanyu and Qin Miao's simulator equipment and computers were placed.

Zhou Guanyu was confused when he saw Qin Miao's strange performance. It was impossible for Qin Miao to refuse the CSGO invitation he sent out in his spare time. What happened today?Stimulated?
"What's wrong with you?" Zhou Guanyu asked curiously, seeing Qin Miao who had already entered the room, sat on the simulator, and turned on the simulator computer.

Qin Miao didn't explain, just adjusted his seat position while waiting for the simulator computer to start.

Zhou Guanyu saw that Qin Miao was not interested in talking, but he didn't intend to let Qin Miao go. After leaning over, Zhou Guanyu said sternly, "Let's talk."

Qin Miao, who had a certain understanding of Zhou Guanyu, knew that if he didn't tell the real reason, this force would haunt him all night.

So I can only explain with some shame: "Ferrari has started to contact Sainz from McLaren."
