How did I become an F1 driver?

When the old man arrived, he followed the same process as Qin Miao. After chatting with the staff for a while, he came to Qin Miao.

After getting together, the two began to chat casually, waiting for the protagonist of today's party.

After waiting for about ten minutes, someone else walked in.

The person walking in front was obviously a European. Everyone at the scene knew him, but this European had an Asian name, Kang Linsong.

The reason why Qin Miao knew the other party was because he was the CEO of Daimler Group and one of the biggest bosses of the Mercedes-Benz team.

However, although it is Daimler, this is only because Qin Miao and the others are used to calling it that, because the actual name of the parent company of the Mercedes-Benz team should be Mercedes-Benz Group AG.

The name was changed in February this year.

But no matter what, the person present today is currently the most influential person in the Mercedes-Benz team.

After exchanging greetings with the team's top management, the other party also had a brief chat with Qin Miao and Hamilton.

It's nothing more than encouraging the two Mercedes drivers and affirming their contributions to the team on the track this season.

After saying that, the other party just left.

At this time, Qin Miao really thought that the other party was just here to make a cameo appearance, or to put on a show or something like that.

However, as the other party was the first to take the stage at today's dinner and gave a speech, he affirmed the efforts and contributions of all the team staff this year, and made it clear that although the team did not win the team championship this year, he saw the efforts and progress of all the team staff over the past year, so he decided that the bonus that everyone in the Mercedes team can get this year is the same as the bonus for winning the team championship.

All the Mercedes team staff at the scene were stunned, and then there was thunderous cheers and applause.

Even Qin Miao and Hamilton looked at each other in disbelief.

Unlike others, their contracts have clear bonus clauses.

Although neither of them knows how much the other will get after the team wins the constructors' championship, it is certain that both of them will receive prize money of more than 100 million Euros.

Qin Miao's specific amount is 200 million euros.

However, because the team only came in second place, Qin Miao finally received only 50 euros in team bonus.

It does sound like a lot less, but after conversion, it is actually an income of 380 million, close to 400 million RMB.

It’s not a small amount by any means.

But just because of the other party's words, Qin Miao's year-end bonus directly increased by 1100 million yuan.

Although Qin Miao was not very sensitive to money, this sudden windfall still caught him off guard.

When he turned his head to look at his teammate Hamilton beside him, the old man's face was full of surprise and disbelief.

Looking at the other person's expression, Qin Miao sighed: "As expected of a big boss, he is really rich. In the time it takes to talk, he has spent nearly 2 million euros, right?"

But what surprised Qin Miao was that Hamilton's face did not show much joy after getting rich, but more doubt.

When Qin Miao was about to ask a question, Hamilton explained prophetically, "Kallenius is a businessman after all, and businessmen won't be so kind as to give us so much money all of a sudden. I think he must have other intentions, either for the team or for the people..."

Having said that, Hamilton looked at Qin Miao.

Both my contract and Qin Miao's contract will expire at the end of next year.

So is it possible that Kang Linsong has many intentions behind spending a lot of money this time?

On the one hand, it is to stabilize the emotions of all the team staff and send a clear signal that the team headquarters is not disappointed with you because the team did not win the team world championship this year.

We will work hard next year to seek revenge on Red Bull and take back all the honors that originally belonged to the Mercedes team.

His approach can effectively boost the confidence of everyone in the team.

Another possibility is to use money to pave the way, leave a good impression on himself and Qin Miao, and strive to create a more harmonious atmosphere between the two parties during the negotiations on the driver's contract next year.

After all, from Hamilton's point of view, if he were the leader of the team, he would not let go of either himself or Qin Miao.

After all, the abilities of these two people are really too strong.

However, these are just Hamilton's guesses. Although they make sense, no one knows whether Kallenius really thinks so.

On the contrary, Qin Miao, who was listening to Hamilton's words, was completely confused. What did he mean by a businessman? How could he have other intentions?

Even if the other party really has other intentions, isn't it okay for me to just not agree?

Can you just imprison me?
And the money sent by the other party actually went into my pocket.

Seeing that Qin Miao didn't understand, Hamilton didn't say much, but just continued to look up at the stage and listen to Kang Linsong's speech.

Soon the other party's impassioned speech came to an end, and Qin Miao and other staff members gave the other party a warm round of applause.

Then the other team joined in the post-match celebrations.

Hamilton originally thought that the other party would talk to him and Qin Miao, but the other party had no intention of pressing on the issue. After the speech, he chatted with Toto for a while and then left.

Looking at the other person's back as he left, Hamilton was a little confused for a moment, but Qin Miao had a good feeling about him.

After all, he is really rich. With just one sentence, he increased his year-end bonus by more than 1000 million. Anyone would have a better impression of him.

After the party was over, Qin Miao happily returned to the hotel to rest.

After the Grand Prix, Qin Miao had a day of rest, followed by the post-season test. After the post-season test, the F1 season was over.

Next is the end-of-year awards ceremony. After this process, Qin Miao’s work in F1 will come to an end.

After returning to the hotel, Qin Miao took out his mobile phone for the first time in a long time, opened it and read the comments from car fans at home and abroad.

Although Qin Miao's mentality has been very stable after two years of competition, the bad reviews will still have a certain impact on Qin Miao's mentality, so during the Grand Prix weekend, Qin Miao basically does not read the comments.

But now the season is over, and even seeing bad reviews will not affect Qin Miao's performance on the track.

Not to mention that Qin Miao is now in full form as a world champion, so no one would give him any bad comments at this time.

I happily opened my social media account. The last Weibo and Twitter post on my account were sent at 2022 o'clock tonight, when the last game of the season ended.

The people in my studio also helped me summarize my performance on the track this season.

5W+ comments and 30W+ likes.

It is also a very popular and hot Weibo post.

When you open the comment section, the comments at the front are all formulaic and complimenting.

【The baby is great! 】

【Sanshui is amazing! 】

【Congratulations to Sanshui for winning the world championship! 】

……

To be honest, Qin Miao had asked his agency and even the marketing department of the team, but after asking around, Qin Miao found that no one was specifically making such comments. After all, these comments didn't have much technical content at first glance, and the praises were a bit too formulaic, without any novelty or highlights, and Qin Miao felt weird after reading them.

It's like there are internet trolls controlling the comments here.

However, Qin Miao also has a solution, which is to change the sorting method of comments from likes to time.

Soon, new reviews appeared on the phone.

[Qin Miao, you really are my dad! ]

[Qin Miao is awesome! 】

[Congratulations to the double champion for becoming the king, and leave work early, if you are secretly playing games, remember to start the live broadcast! ]

[Qin Miao is a real brother. He really wins the championship.]

[From the photo of Qin Miao getting off the car after retiring, I know that this guy doesn’t care about the result of this last game at all. He must just want to get off work now]

The accompanying picture shows Qin Miao riding Matthew's scooter and rushing to the team's P room at lightning speed.

[Did Sanshui really want to leave work early in the last race and squeeze Perez on the track? ]

After seeing these comments, Qin Miao breathed a sigh of relief and felt relieved. These were the kind of comments that his group of car fans could post.

How can those stupid netizens have such good qualities?

After reading for about ten minutes and liking some interesting comments, Qin Miao turned off his phone and went to sleep.

In any case, the last race of the 2022 season has ended, and the 2022 season has come to a successful conclusion at this moment.

The team headquarters, which usually does not take holidays all year round, also took a rare day off, but the holiday was only one day. Everyone still had to return to their jobs tomorrow to escort Qin Miao and Hamilton during the winter testing on the track.

On this day of rest, Qin Miao actually received quite a few invitations, including invitations to parties from local officials in Abu Dhabi and several princes from the UAE.

But Qin Miao, who had been busy for a year, really didn't want to move today. Qin Miao didn't even call his wife. Qin Miao didn't want to say much today.

After declining these invitations, Qin Miao turned on his computer, connected to the Internet, and opened his live broadcast room.

Today, Qin Miao originally wanted to rest in the hotel for a day and play some games.

But when reading the comments last night, Qin Miao saw that car fans asked him to do a live broadcast while playing games.

Today happens to be an indulgence day, so I might as well start a live broadcast to satisfy the wishes of car fans.

After a while, someone came to Qin Miao's live broadcast room. After all, he was the F1 world champion. Although the show effect was not funny when Qin Miao was playing games.

But Qin Miao does have skills.

Especially when playing games like COD and CS that rely more on reaction and shooting skills.

Therefore, apart from being a driver, Qin Miao has also gained a lot of game fans with his gaming skills. Of course, at this time, Qin Miao's live broadcast room is mostly filled with fans who like to watch Qin Miao's competitions.

But no matter what, as Qin Miao started broadcasting, his live broadcast room was soon filled with viewers who came to hear the news.

[I am the world champion]

【Good morning, the 16-time champion! 】

[I am the living 16-time champion! ]

Qin Miao was playing Civilization 6, and with nothing to do, he naturally kept watching the comments in his live broadcast room.

When Qin Miao saw the words "Sixteen Champions" in his live broadcast room, he was still wondering who in the paddock had won the world championship sixteen times.

But the ones who have won the most seem to be his teammate Hamilton and Mick's father, and both of them have only won seven times. Where did the sixteen championships come from?
"What the hell is sixteen-time champion?" Qin Miao complained.

[It's you, Sanshui. You beat Hamilton twice, so Qin Miao > Hamilton. Therefore, Hamilton has seven championships*2, plus your own two world championships, which means he has sixteen championships.]

When Qin Miao saw this comment, he immediately thought of Rosberg's joke.

"That's not bad, at least I have one more title than Rosberg."

【? 】

【Group start! 】

[Does it mean Rosberg is not good? ]

[You look down on the Princess of Monaco, don't you? ]

[How dare you criticize the Princess of Monaco! ]

Qin Miao laughed as he looked at the comments in his live broadcast room. At least he didn't have any psychological burden when chatting with these people.

And it’s also quite interesting to read the comments sent by the audience.

While chatting, Qin Miao also opened the game.

Enter the game expertly, select save, and start.

There were a lot of question marks in Qin Miao's live broadcast room at first. After all, everyone came to watch Qin Miao play games, and generally thought that Qin Miao would continue to play CS. Unexpectedly, this guy actually started a Civilization.

But this will not affect everyone's interest in continuing to watch, and many people even gave Qin Miao advice in the barrage.

Also because Qin Miao was playing a strategy game like Civilization, he had more time to communicate with the barrage in the live broadcast room.

Then I play all day long.

Qin Miao played from around nine in the morning to around nine in the evening in one session.

Qin Miao didn't even go to exercise today, he was just playing games the whole time.

[What the hell? I saw Qin Miao playing Civilization when I left for work this morning. How come Qin Miao is still playing it when I get home from work?]

[Playing games out of revenge, probably because I've been holding it in for too long]

[The nuclear bomb is ready! The nuclear bomb is ready! Bomb Tokyo! Send all these little devils to the sky]

[Isn't there a post-season test tomorrow? Why aren't you sleeping yet? ]

[It’s only 9pm over there, Qin Miao, go to sleep and wait for the next round! ]

Qin Miao didn't feel any discomfort in his body after playing the game for so long. It can be said that F1 drivers are among the best people in the world.

However, after looking out the window, Qin Gang realized that it was getting late.

There is indeed work to do tomorrow, so Qin Miao is indeed planning to go to bed after playing another billion rounds.

However, Qin Miao had arranged the development direction of each city and was preparing for the next round when his cell phone suddenly rang. (End of this chapter)
