How did I become an F1 driver?

Chapter 597 581: Face Fruit (Additional Update 3/8)

I just bought a new car and now we are talking about the track. The meaning is self-evident.

“I remember today is not the track open day, right?” Zhou Guanyu said.

"Not tomorrow either." Qin Miao reminded.

"Will there be track maintenance work tomorrow?" Zhou Guanyu looked at Qin Miao.

After all, Qin Miao is a Mercedes driver. As a Mercedes driver, he is naturally very clear about the working process of the Silverstone Circuit next to their team factory.

Qin Miao thought for a moment and said, "Mercedes-Benz has reserved the track tomorrow. Their filming activities on the track should be the newly released AMG cars. In addition, there should be some testing work on prototype cars."

"Hey!" Zhou Guanyu's eyes lit up.

Qin Miao and Leclerc looked at him. For some reason, they both had a sense of déjà vu.

Zhou Guanyu looked at Qin Miao and said, "Qin Miao, you still have some face in Mercedes-Benz now, right? Go and use the face fruit tomorrow."

Qin Miao scratched his head. "It seems to be possible. Anyway, they can't use the track all day during the test, and Mercedes seems to have reserved it for one day..."

"Let's go! Let's go back to Brackley." Leclerc was now a little impatient.

"Wait a moment, both of you." William interrupted Leclerc's spellcasting and said, "Because you two do not want to participate in the delivery ceremony, we have not prepared some of the gifts for the delivery ceremony in advance. You two need to give me a delivery address. After these gifts are made, we need to mail them to you."

Qin Miao asked: "Where are the original gifts for these two cars?"

Qin Miao's meaning was very clear: since this car was ordered by other people, then gifts must be prepared for them.
There's no need to go through so much trouble. You can just give me the two cars that were originally supposed to be the gifts.

William actually wanted to do this, and it was obvious that Qin Miao and Leclerc didn't want to waste too much time here, but he still explained: "Because the original gifts of these two cars were also customized, the number and customer name on the gift inscription were customized according to the name of the previous customer. Therefore, we cannot give this batch of gifts to you, and they have been destroyed. We have to make a new one for you two."

Qin Miao looked at Leclerc: "What do you mean?"

“How long does it take to make it to order?” Leclerc asked.

William said: "About half a year."

Leclerc thought for a moment and said, "Half a year would be January next year. By then, Qin Miao, you will already be a Ferrari driver, so just give me the address in Maranello."

"also."

After giving the address of the Ferrari team's headquarters and making sure that all other procedures were complete, Leclerc and Qin Miao could leave.

However, the three of them were silent for a while as they looked at the two cars.

Who will open it?
"Let me do it." Zhou Guanyu volunteered to walk towards Leclerc's car.

"Get out of the way!" Leclerc pushed Zhou Guanyu away.

Zhou Guanyu didn't care either, and finally turned to look at Qin Miao.

Qin Miao didn't care. He took the key out of his pocket and handed it to Zhou Guanyu.

However, when Zhou Guanyu was holding Qin Miao's key and preparing to get into Qin Miao's car, he saw the interior of the car, and Zhou Guanyu, who was originally very excited, instantly lost interest.

"No, why is the interior of your car pink?"

Qin Miao spread his hands: "Don't ask me, if you want to ask, go ask the person who originally ordered this car."

"What bad luck! I won't open it anymore." After Zhou Guanyu returned the key to Qin Miao, he walked outside angrily. He came here in the Mercedes Benz RV, and now he was asked to drive it back.

"Go straight back to my house!" Looking at Zhou Guanyu's receding back, Qin Miao did not forget to remind him behind Zhou Guanyu.

Zhou Guanyu didn't even turn his head and raised his middle finger to the two people behind him.

Qin Miao poked Leclerc's shoulder: "Yes, Zhou Guanyu is provoking you, can you bear it? If it were me, I would definitely rush up and kick him."

Leclerc pushed Qin Miao away in annoyance and said, "Stop being naughty. Get in the car and refuel first. I think this car doesn't have much gas left."

"Oh." Qin Miao replied, and then asked curiously: "By the way, how do you maintain this car?"

William, who had not yet left, explained, "If you need your car serviced, feel free to call us and we will send someone to your designated address to service your car."

"What about Koenigsegg's phone number?"

"I just put a briefcase in the front trunk of your car. It contains the instruction manual and the phone number of Koenigsegg after-sales service."

"Okay, let's use the navigation to find a place to refuel, and then go straight back to Brackley."

"Drive back?" Leclerc looked at Qin Miao in surprise.

"if not?"

"The engine of this car only has a service life of more than 1 miles. Are you going to drive it back?"

Qin Miao shrugged: "At worst, I can just change it, and isn't the car meant to be driven?"

"Besides, it's only 90 miles from here to my home, so it's not a big deal."

Leclerc thought about it and decided that the 90 miles was not a big deal, so he nodded and said, "Okay."

After the discussion, the two got into the car under William's grateful gaze and started the engine of their new car.

Amid the roar of two twin-turbocharged V8 engines, two Koenigsegg Joskos, one red and one white, slowly drove out of the parking lot behind the Koenigsegg store.

After meeting Zhou Guanyu on the road, the three of them rushed to Brackley at lightning speed. The two supercars drove on the track one after the other, naturally attracting many onlookers on the road.

Fortunately, the windows of Qin Miao and Leclerc's cars have anti-peeping function, so pedestrians on the roadside don't know who is driving inside.

After returning all the way to Brackley, the three returned to Qin Miao's home.

To be honest, there is really no place to park near Qin Miao's house now.

After all, the place where Qin Miao lives is not a business district, but just an ordinary rural residential area.

Although every household has a garage, the space is not really that big.

But the good news is that Qin Miao is a celebrity after all, and Qiu Meng managed Qin Miao's family connections well when she was here, and the relationship with the surrounding neighbors was also harmonious.

So after Qin Miao got off the car, he found two neighbors and after discussing it, he temporarily parked the car outside their garage.

After I settled the car issue, I looked at the time and it was only 5pm.

Looking at the hungry eyes of Zhou Guanyu and Leclerc, Qin Miao knew that he would have to cook meal himself tonight.

But Qin Miao didn't spoil them either, because there was no vegetable at home, so Qin Miao just cooked some noodles, beat two eggs into the noodles and cut some beef.

But these two people didn't dislike it.

If a world champion cooks for you, what else do you want from a bicycle?

After dinner, because they wanted to go to the track to try out their newly bought super sports car tomorrow, Zhou Guanyu and Leclerc did not leave Qin Miao's house, but stayed overnight.

Of course, what serious things can three grown men do at home at night? Don't even think about asking them to go to bed on time.

The three of them discussed it briefly, drank and played, and continued to work until after eleven o'clock in the evening.

I should have gone to bed at this time, but when Qin Miao was looking for the air conditioner remote control in another room, he took out a deck of cards from the drawer.

This was left behind by my mom and my parents-in-law when they were here.

Then Qin Miao took the deck of cards, turned around and asked, "How about playing a few rounds of Landlord before going to bed?"

Zhou Guanyu had no objection, and Leclerc nodded: "Okay."

Then the three of them started playing Landlord.

The three of them played Landlord but didn't win any money, but their brains collapsed.

The starting point is a king bomb that doubles the amount.

At the beginning, everyone was quite polite and courteous. After losing, no matter whether they were hit on the head or were hit on the head, no one used much force.

But as Leclerc was the landlord, Qin Miao and Zhou Guanyu dropped four bombs on him at once, and he was knocked unconscious.

After knowing that he was going to be hit on the head 16 times, he couldn't hold it anymore.

In fact, Qin Miao and Zhou Guanyu didn't use much force when they hit Leclerc's head.

But as the saying goes, quantitative change leads to qualitative change. These two people were hit 8 times each, and it still hurt even though they didn't use much strength.

Leclerc's forehead was swollen.

However, Leclerc retaliated in the next round, and this time, in order to avenge those 16 hits, he did not hold back at all, and also hit Qin Miao and Zhou Guanyu's foreheads red.

From this point on, the nature of the game changed from pure entertainment to deliberate retaliation.

When the three of them played until about one in the morning and were ready to go to bed, they all looked a bit like the longevity gods in the cartoons of Fu Lu Shou, with high bulges on their foreheads.

In fact, it was really painful, but no matter whether it was Qin Miao, Leclerc or Zhou Guanyu, although their foreheads hurt so much that they felt dizzy, all three of them forced themselves to endure it.

During the whole process, the three of them didn't say a word.

After returning to their rooms to sleep, the three of them rubbed their foreheads and cried out in pain.

Nothing happened that night. The next morning, when they got up, their foreheads were still bright red, but the swelling had finally subsided.

Qin Miao was too lazy to make breakfast, so he just ordered takeout.

He was afraid that if he made breakfast, he would be tempted to poison the food and kill the other two bastards.

After breakfast, Qin Miao called the Mercedes team factory and asked about their testing workflow at the Silverstone Circuit today.

Just as Zhou Guanyu said, Qin Miao's face fruit is still very useful.

Qin Miao finally got the right to use the track from noon to 3 pm, the hottest time period on the track.

Although this period is the hottest time on the track, it has a particularly great impact on the tire's grip, causing the tire to show high temperature symptoms and wear faster. It is also easy for the tire to have insufficient grip when driving on a high-temperature track.

But... the track is free!

There are no other cars on the entire 5.891-kilometer Silverstone Circuit, so you can race on the entire track.

Many people want this kind of preferential treatment but cannot get it.

It’s also thanks to Qin Miao’s great reputation in Mercedes-Benz.
