How did I become an F1 driver?

After breakfast, Qin Miao asked Leclerc to clean up the mess while he went to look through the utility room at home.

After all, Prince Jacques will be coming over later. Although he is a guest, he is the legal heir to Monaco after all, and he likes me so much.

Although Qin Miao is a two-time world champion, he is just an ordinary person in Monaco. Qin Miao must prepare some gifts for the prince when he visits.

After searching for a long time, Qin Miao found a scale model of W13.

These models and the 1/4 helmet model were given to Qin Miao by the team's logistics department, with the purpose of giving them as gifts to the drivers.

Mercedes-Benz has done a very good job in terms of employee benefits, and this is even more so when it comes to its drivers. Basically, they prepare a portion of whatever they can for the drivers.

The reason why Qin Miao chose to give this model is because the Mercedes-Benz team has stopped licensing the model of the W13 racing car.

After all, Mercedes itself knows that this car is too slow, and the team also thinks that this car is the biggest scandal in 2022. It is embarrassing to talk about it, so let alone mention the surrounding areas of this car.

Therefore, all W13 model cars and cultural and creative products have been discontinued, and production of W13B has begun.

However, this incident did not affect the sales of the W13 model at all. On the contrary, due to the out-of-print of the W13 model and Qin Miao's performance this season, the value of the W13 car model has skyrocketed.

After all, Qin Miao really drove this car to keep up with Leclerc and Verstappen at the beginning of the season and did not let the two widen the points gap. This was why Qin Miao was able to fight back after updating to W13B.

After making sure that there was no damage to the model packaging and the model inside, Qin Miao opened the model, signed his name on the black acrylic board inside the model, and then put the model back intact.

With Qin Miao's "enchantment", the W13 racing car model in Qin Miao's hand is now the only W13 racing car model in the world with Qin Miao's signature.

It is easy to give gifts to car fans when one has the ability and honors, Qin Miao thought happily.

After confirming the gift, Qin Miao was just about to come out of the utility room when Leclerc was holding a bottle of milk he had just found from the refrigerator. He was drinking it while curiously looking over from outside the utility room.

After seeing the storage room in Qin Miao's house, his eyes were full of curiosity.

Rather than saying that this utility room in Qin Miao's house is for storing miscellaneous items, it is actually more like a warehouse.

Because Qin Miao and Qiu Meng both have mild obsessive-compulsive disorder, the gifts given by the convoy and other people, as well as those that can be given away, will be sorted and placed in a large box.

Therefore, Qin Miao's storage room looks particularly tidy, and you can see what is in the box at a glance.

"Are you preparing gifts?" Leclerc walked in after asking curiously.

Then naturally, I saw so many things in Qin Miao’s warehouse.

Out of curiosity, I picked up something and took a look. It was a scaled-down helmet model of Qin Miao's 2021 season.

This thing is good and is out of print. It seems that Qin Miao is the driver with the least special edition helmets for the 21st season, so Qin Miao's helmet itself has good sales, and this helmet is really good-looking, so Leclerc did not refuse it. He took the helmet in his hand and planned to put it somewhere after taking it home.

After Qin Miao selected the gifts, he stood up and saw Leclerc's actions, but Qin Miao didn't care. If Qin Miao wanted these things, it would only take a word. Besides, Qin Miao had too many of these scaled-down helmets in the room, and there were more than 30 in stock in a large box in the utility room.

Apart from the things in the Honor Showroom, Qin Miao didn't feel bad about taking anything Leclerc took.

Without paying any attention to Leclerc who was rummaging through the drawers in his house, Qin Miao reminded Leclerc to remember to put things back in order. Then he took the gift to the study, found a special gift bag, and packed it up with some awkwardness.

After all, Qiu Meng was the one who did these chores at home before, and Qin Miao was not very familiar with the process of packing gifts.

After it was done, the appearance was barely acceptable.

After preparing the gifts, Qin Miao went out and saw Leclerc holding a lot of things in his hands.

After a casual glance, I found that they didn't take anything valuable, just two helmet models and a box of Lego bricks.

Although Qin Miao didn't care how much Leclerc took from his home, he was still a little curious when he saw the two identical helmet models in his hands: "Why did you take two identical helmets?"

Leclerc looked down at the two helmet models in his hands and said with a smile, "For gifts."

Qin Miao nodded without thinking too much, but started rummaging through boxes and drawers, preparing things to entertain the guests later.

After Qin Miao finished and rested for a while, there was a knock on the door.

After hearing the knock on the door, Leclerc put away his carefree attitude as he did at Qin Miao's house, stood up from the sofa, and straightened his clothes.

At the same time, he gave Qin Miao a look, indicating Qin Miao to go over and open the door.

Qin Miao was not unhappy about it. He stood up and looked around his living room. After making sure that there was nothing missing or inappropriate, Qin Miao put on the friendly smile he had developed in the paddock and went to open the door.

When the door was opened, standing at the door was Prince Jacques of Monaco with an expectant look on his face, and with him was his mother, Princess Charlene.

"Welcome to my humble abode, honorable one..."

"Qin Miao!"

Before Qin Miao could finish his standard diplomatic speech, Prince Yak couldn't wait to call Qin Miao's name and hug him.

Qin Miao looked at Princess Charen with some embarrassment and smiled.

Princess Charen did not feel that Qin Miao was being rude. After all, strictly speaking, she was just here to accompany her son to meet her son's friends.

Even at Qin Miao's house, Princess Charlene felt more relaxed than in the cold Monaco Palace.

Qin Miao bent down and picked up Prince Jacques, and completely opened the door of his house and made a gesture of invitation to Princess Charlene.

The other party gladly accepted the invitation.

When the two bodyguards in black suits following Princess Charlene were about to enter the room, Princess Charlene simply closed the door with her backhand, and the two bodyguards were turned away at the door.

After looking at each other, the two could only smile bitterly and stand guard at the door.

After Qin Miao brought Prince Jacques home, the little guy started chirping.

"Qin Miao, your performance this season is amazing! And you have once again made F1 history! You won two world championships in your second year as a professional, you are now a legend! I also prepared a gift for you, but I can't give it to you now, you can look forward to it." Qin Miao said with a smile: "Really? Then I'm really looking forward to it. But in fact, it's just that your luck was a little better. The achievements you have made this season are not worth mentioning at all!"

"By the way, Your Highness, speaking of gifts, I actually prepared a gift for you as well." Qin Miao said as he went to take the box that he had placed on the coffee table in the living room.

However, what Qin Miao did not notice during this process was that Leclerc's eyes were full of envy and jealousy when he looked at Qin Miao.

Damn it, you actually! You actually hugged Prince Jacques!

After seeing Prince Jacques, many Monegasques were so happy that they wanted to kneel down and kowtow to him, let alone hug him.

At this moment, jealousy caused Leclerc to break apart.

However, Leclerc was not overwhelmed by the shock and jealousy in his heart. After all, strictly speaking, he was able to meet Prince Jacques this time because of Qin Miao.

So when Qin Miao came over, Leclerc also greeted Prince Yake with a smile.

But when Prince Jacques saw Leclerc, he was stunned. Looking at Leclerc's expression, it was as if he was asking, "Why are you here too?"
However, after reacting, Prince Jacques reached out and patted Qin Miao's arm, signaling Qin Miao to put him down.

After Qin Miao did as he was told, Prince Jacques straightened his clothes and then said to Leclerc, "Nice to meet you, Mr. Leclerc."

Leclerc: "It is an honor to meet you, Your Highness."

But the fire of jealousy in Leclerc's heart burned even more vigorously.

Because just now, just now, Leclerc heard clearly that when Prince Jacques called Qin Miao, he directly called Qin Miao by his name, and even went over to hug Qin Miao directly, while when he called himself, he added the word "Mr." at the end.

Your Highness, you are so polite!
Although he was very unhappy and wanted to find an opportunity to punch Qin Miao, Leclerc still handed the gift in his hand to Prince Jacques with a sincere smile on his face.

But when Qin Miao saw the gift Leclerc handed over, his eyes twitched.

Because the gift Leclerc gave to Prince Jacques...seemed to have just been taken out of his own storage room!

This act of offering flowers to Buddha was indeed something Qin Miao had not expected.

Prince Jacques gladly accepted it.

During this process, Qin Miao invited the princess to sit down and poured her a cup of tea.

Qin Miao then handed his gift to Prince Jacques.

Foreigners also have no tradition of not opening gifts in person, so Prince Jacques opened the gift on the spot.

After finding out it was a W13, the little guy couldn't hide the smile on his face, especially when he saw the W13 and Qin Miao's autograph, he was so happy that he could be seen with the naked eye.

During the time that Prince Jacques was chatting with Qin Miao at Qin Miao's house, he never put down the W13 model in his hand. He kept holding it in his arms, as if he was afraid that someone would snatch his things away.

When there are four of us, there is no need to worry about not finding topics to talk about.

Originally, Qin Miao thought that Prince Yake and his friends would just come to visit his home as usual, sit down and chat for about an hour and then go home, but he didn't expect that something unexpected would happen today.

It was almost 11 o'clock in the morning, but Prince Yake and the Princess showed no intention of leaving.

Qin Miao suddenly had a bad feeling.

When looking at Leclerc, the smile on this guy's face suddenly gave Qin Miao a bad feeling.

Sure enough, as time went by, the princess suddenly looked at Qin Miao and asked with a smile: "Qin Miao, I heard that you are a very good cook. I never thought that the youngest F1 world champion and the youngest double champion in history is actually a good man who is good at both cooking and housework. How about we try your cooking skills here at noon today?"

There was no change in Qin Miao's facial expression, but he was already complaining in his heart.

Your Highness, you are willing to say anything to avoid staying in the palace, and does your question leave me any choice?

Qin Miao naturally knew about the troubles of the Monaco royal family, and because of Leclerc's existence, Qin Miao also learned through Leclerc that Albert II's black girlfriend had recently come to Monaco with her son, and was now living openly in the Monaco Palace.

The princess probably ran out now because she felt uncomfortable seeing the mother and son in the palace.

Therefore, Qin Miao had no reason to refuse Her Royal Highness the Princess.

Qin Miao stood up and said, "It's my honor."

After saying that, Qin Miao calmly kicked Leclerc, who was playing a racing game with the prince, and said, "I think Charles must want to come over and help now, right?"

Qin Miao emphasized the last two words "right", as if if Leclerc disagreed, Qin Miao would rush to the kitchen, pick up a kitchen knife and kill Leclerc.

Leclerc was stunned. Why was there still his own business?

However, seeing Qin Miao's unfriendly look, Leclerc had no choice but to get up and go to the kitchen to help.

After the two of them arrived in the kitchen, Leclerc whispered, "I can't cook either. How can I help?"

Qin Miao rolled his eyes at Leclerc and said, "How could I not know that you can't cook? I didn't expect you to cook when I asked you to come here."

"Then why did you ask me to come here?"

Qin Miao sighed and said, "I was busy here, and I felt uneasy seeing you playing games over there... so I called you over."

Leclerc: "You... you are damn honest."

However, despite what Qin Miao said, Qin Miao still made Leclerc feel a certain sense of participation in the process, at least he was the one who washed the dishes.

Although Qin Miao had to consider the guests' feelings when cooking this time, he did not treat himself badly. In addition to an egg custard, a boiled beef, and a pork bone soup that had been boiled into a milky white color, Qin Miao also made himself a dish of stir-fried pork with peppers, and a portion of crepe cake as a dessert that Europeans love. It was not a lot for a meal, but it was the most sumptuous lunch Qin Miao could make within a limited time.

Leclerc, who was helping out the whole time, watched Qin Miao finishing the work and said in amazement: "I used to think you were great at F1, but I never thought you were such a skilled cook." (End of this chapter)
