How did I become an F1 driver?

After celebrating, Qin Miao stepped onto the highest podium.

I won’t go into details about what happened after the game.

But it is undeniable that Qin Miao was indeed very successful during this process.

And everyone has already assumed that Qin Miao will most likely surpass Zhou Guanyu's idol Alonso and win the third world championship of his career.

If Qin Miao really completes the triple crown feat, he will be the first driver in F1 history who has never let the world championship slip away since entering F1.

Finally, here is the overall ranking of the team standings after this race:
1. Mercedes: 824
2. Red Bull: 648
3. Ferrari: 314
4. Aston Martin: 214
5. McLaren: 207
6. Alpine: 86
7. Williams: 24
8. Lynk & Co: 20
9. Alfa Romeo: 13
10. Haas: 7
It is worth mentioning that with the introduction of the budget cap rules, the FIA ​​hopes to minimize the gap in strength between the top teams and the bottom teams.

Therefore, the higher the ranking of the team, the less wind tunnel and CFD time they get.

So even though Mercedes is enjoying great success this season, they will have a very difficult time next season without Qin Miao.

Because compared to other teams, Mercedes has much less wind tunnel and CFD testing time.

However, it is not a big problem for Mercedes-Benz. After all, this season is another team championship. The share obtained from the FIA ​​directly covers the investment in the team this season, not to mention the sponsor income.

Although Mercedes is wealthy, they are not short of this little money.

But for Toto, after winning the constructors' world championship, his year-end report will look much better.

Not to mention that he is also the owner of the team and can make money himself.

A week after the Las Vegas Grand Prix, the final race of the 2023 season will be the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.

The last two games of the 23rd season are still back-to-back games.

This is the inevitable result of the increasing number of big prizes on the calendar, and there is nothing to complain about, after all, it's all money.

It can only be said that since Liberty Media Group took over the management of F1 in recent years, the Grand Prix schedule has increased visibly.

There are 24 Grand Prix in 24 years.

This is the year with the most Grand Prix in F1 history.

Therefore, after completing all his work in Las Vegas, Qin Miao flew to Abu Dhabi without stopping.

Except for Qin Miao, other drivers basically did the same. After completing their work, they went to Abu Dhabi without stopping.

It is worth mentioning that before the final battle of each year, the 20 active drivers will get together for a meal.

Even the restaurants are fixed.

This year is certainly no exception.

The invitation to this dinner was initiated by the old man.

After all, the old man is the driver with the most active world championships. Whether in terms of fame or historical status, he is qualified to invite other drivers to dinner.

In fact, after receiving the invitation from the old man, Qin Miao also asked in the drivers group whether he wanted to cook a meal for other drivers.

After all, it is no longer a secret among the drivers that Qin Miao can cook and cook deliciously.

But the only drivers who can get Qin Miao's support are Leclerc, Zhou Guanyu and Hamilton, who have a good relationship with Qin Miao.

Others will inevitably be curious.

Qin Miao made this suggestion out of good intentions, wanting other drivers to have a taste of his skills.

The other drivers had no objections and even had some expectations, but Qin Miao's proposal was jointly rejected by Hamilton and Alonso.

Because people's physiques are different, it's nothing that you work hard to prepare dinner for 19 other drivers.

Even if it is the break after the season, if you cook them a delicious meal, everyone will look at you with admiration.

But this was before the final battle, and you, Qin Miao, were still competing with Verstappen for the world championship.

What would you do if Verstappen got food poisoning after eating the meal you cooked?
Regardless of whether you meant well or not, or whether Verstappen was poisoned by your food or by something else.

You cooked a meal for him and he got food poisoning, so you are a suspect.

Wouldn’t the social media in the paddock explode by then?

[Shocking, the two-time champion actually did this to his biggest rival in order to keep the third world championship in his career! ]

[Big news! Qin Miao drugged Verstappen]

[For the championship, he actually did this kind of thing]

……

By then, it will really be like yellow mud falling down your crotch, and it will be shit if not shit.

In that case, even if you win the world championship you will still be criticized.

So even though many drivers were looking forward to eating the dishes made by Qin Miao himself, they had to miss it.

Sometimes you have to admire the life experiences of Alonso and Hamilton.

Of course, we also have to thank them for rejecting Qin Miao's volunteering.

After all, after this incident, Qin Miao thought back and felt that his actions at the time were indeed a bit too risky.

……

After arriving in Abu Dhabi, Qin Miao saw his beloved daughter again.

Although the little guy still staggers when walking, he can now stand up on his own with the help of something.

Qin Miao picked up his daughter and said to her with a smile, "Give me a kiss, daughter."

The little guy was also very sensible. He hugged Qin Miao's neck and kissed him.

"Hahahaha, my daughter is so good!"

Qin Miao couldn't help but kiss the little guy.

Ok……

Qin Miao was also caught as a black carp.

After all, this weekend's game is the final battle, so Qin Miao still has a lot of work to deal with before the game starts.

For example, arranging the handover after the race, and also someone is needed to go to Ferrari to coordinate the post-season testing after the race.

Also, prepare your own seat.

Mercedes-Benz is quite generous in this regard, giving Ferrari the data of its own racing seats. Ferrari is now working overtime in Maranello to produce its own seats.

At the same time, Qin Miao's contract with Mercedes-Benz expires on December 2023, 12.

So when Qin Miao was taking the test, he could not wear either the Mercedes or Ferrari racing suit. He had to prepare a racing suit without any sponsor or team logos, and the same went for the helmet.

Of course, these are all taken care of by Ferrari's racing suit sponsors.

Qin Miao doesn't need to worry about it.

Mercedes gave Qin Miao's body size data to Ferrari. To be honest, as a racing team, Mercedes has done its best for Qin Miao.

Now Toto no longer has any hatred towards Qin Miao, but rather feels more regret.

Although everyone knows that Toto is the team leader of Mercedes.

But as a businessman, Toto actually attaches great importance to profits.

If there was no Qin Miao, Mercedes would never have been able to win so many constructors' world championships in a row relying solely on the old man and Russell who was originally preparing to join Mercedes.

So Toto also knows how important the championship that Qin Miao brought to Mercedes-Benz is.

Therefore, when they broke up, Mercedes did everything they could.

Anyone who sees Mercedes' operation will say one thing: decent.

Qin Miao did not continue to participate in various marketing activities during the period before the start of the Grand Prix weekend.

On the one hand, Qin Miao has returned to his normal schedule during a grand prix weekend.

On the other hand, the fact that he is only ahead of Verstappen in the team standings with a tiny advantage does not mean that Verstappen poses no threat to him.

What if Pan Zi gets so angry at the beginning of the game that he directly torpedoes Qin Miao?
So even though Qin Miao has certain advantages now, he still does not compromise, and even doubles his preparations before each Grand Prix weekend.

Qin Miao had already gotten used to this relatively boring time, and he even enjoyed it.

But sometimes, you have a precious daughter by your side, and this little girl can already walk around in a walker, and she likes you very much.

You will feel that this cute little girl is a little annoying.

Qin Miao’s simulator itself uses a very low seat, and the whole person basically lies on the ground to operate the simulator.

When her mother ignored her, little Muchu rode her walker to Qin Miao's side.

Then he wanted to reach out and grab Qin Miao's hair.

Of course, Xiao Muchu is a little short after all, so she usually can't catch him, and she will end up pinching Qin Miao's ears. If Qin Miao is wearing headphones, she will pull the headphone cord.

Qin Miao was forced to change a pair of wireless headphones and ask his wife to give it to his daughter.

And complained that only the bedroom in this hotel room had a door.

But Qiu Meng also has to be busy sometimes. After all, Qiu Meng is now in charge of the family's purse, and often needs to communicate with Qin Miao's agency by phone.

Even if Qin Miao changed to wireless headphones, Xiao Muchu would find a way to disturb Qin Miao's training.

For example, pulling the wire on Qin Miao’s monitor.

In the end, Qin Miao had no choice but to come up with a bad idea.

Anyway, this is how Ferrari is this season. The teams behind can't catch up, and they can't possibly challenge Red Bull. Leclerc is also firmly in fifth place in the overall standings with 170 points.

With 25 points behind fourth-placed Perez, it is basically impossible for him to return to fourth in the drivers' standings.

So Qin Miao made a phone call and was ready to get Leclerc over.

Let him help take care of the child.

But after struggling for a while, the fourth brother finally refused, as he was still very busy during the Grand Prix weekend.

In the end, it was Qiu Meng who speechlessly shook Qin Miao's mother over and finally solved little Muchu's troubles about his old father.

In such a warm and comfortable time, the date quickly arrived on Thursday.

Qin Miao is already very familiar with the Yas Bay Marina Circuit in Abu Dhabi.

In recent years, the final round of the F1 Grand Prix has been held here. If there is any special feature here, it is probably that the race runs from dusk to nightfall with bright lights.

This kind of track change may be very interesting to the spectators, but for the drivers, the temperature difference of the track after dusk and sunset is still quite large, which still has a significant impact on the drivers' control of the car.

It is also worth mentioning that on Thursday, Qin Miao learned from Franky that Mercedes would not have any upgrades for this Grand Prix weekend.

Red Bull, on the other hand, is going all in. On the last Grand Prix weekend of 23 years, it still upgraded the RB19, but the upgrade was not significant, with only one side box upgraded.

But just from Red Bull's action, it can be seen that the last race of the season also brought upgrades, and they really want Verstappen to win.

It can even be regarded as a disguised abandonment of the 2024 season.

After all, at the end of the season when all teams are investing resources into next season's car research, Red Bull is still upgrading the RB19.

This means that next season Red Bull's investment in car development is unlikely to be as high as other teams.

Perhaps the only good news for Red Bull is that they will have more CFD and wind tunnel time than Mercedes next season, although with Newey, these data are not particularly useful to Red Bull.

All in all, although most fans are still looking forward to the final result of the last Grand Prix of the 2023 season, many fans who are not Qin Miao or Verstappen are already looking forward to the 24th race.

Although he was very familiar with the Yas Bay Marina Circuit, Qin Miao still walked around the track.

During this period, Qin Miao also met Bottas who was riding a bicycle on the road.

The two were not very familiar with each other, so they just nodded and said hello when they met, and then Bottas walked away.

Basically every Grand Prix weekend, when other drivers are walking the track and team staff are collecting data on the track, Bottas will be seen riding his bike on the track.

Because of his wife, 77 is particularly fond of cycling.

If Bottas retires one day, it wouldn't be surprising if he didn't race endurance races but went straight to cycling races.

Of course, Bottas has also participated in some cycling competitions and achieved good results.

After all, F1 drivers have such physiques, and bicycles help to exercise their cardiopulmonary function, so for F1 drivers, cycling is a very good and cost-effective way of exercise.

At least you're less likely to have an accident on a bike than on skis.

Even if an accident happens, at most the patient will break a leg or an arm, but will not become a vegetable.

However, compared with cycling and skiing, it may lack the thrilling feeling that makes people's blood boil.

But just like Qin Miao likes to play games, for drivers, sometimes hobbies are more attractive to them than the thrill.

After walking the track, Qin Miao returned to the team's P room, sorted out the data, and then returned to the team's home for a meeting. Thursday's work was almost finished.

Qin Miao actually thought about taking advantage of the good weather at night and taking his wife and daughter for a walk on the streets of Abu Dhabi.

But in the end, they didn't do it because their mother took their daughter out and Qiu Meng was the only one in the hotel room.

Qin Miao asked curiously: "Where are my daughter and our mother?"

"I asked my mother to take my daughter out to play for two hours before coming back."

Qin Miao was stunned: "Is two hours enough?"

Qiu Meng licked her lips: "I don't know..."

"Forget it, never mind!" (End of this chapter)
