How did I become an F1 driver?

The good news is that they were just taking pictures of Qin Miao with their cameras, and no one came up with a microphone to ask Qin Miao any questions.

Because letting them in has already entered a gray area. If they are allowed to break the rules and interview Qin Miao, Ferrari may really complain.

After all, it is not normally a Grand Prix weekend, but rather the team's own testing time.

During this period, basically all teams can refuse to be interviewed.

The same goes for drivers.

Today, Qin Miao did not enter the paddock wearing his team uniform as usual. Qin Miao was just wearing a very ordinary gray long-sleeved hooded sweater, blue jeans and a pair of Huili sneakers.

This actually surprised the reporters, after all, it was well known that Qin Miao liked to wear the team uniform when he appeared in the paddock.

But if you think about it, it is normal. After all, Qin Miao does not belong to any team now.

Without answering the reporters who were surrounding him, Qin Miao went straight to the Ferrari team's team home after entering the paddock.

At this time, all the Ferrari staff were lined up at the door to welcome Qin Miao's arrival. Even Vasseur was there, waiting for Qin Miao at the door of the team's house.

And there was a sign at the door of the Ferrari team's P room welcoming Qin Miao home.

As soon as Qin Miao appeared, they began to applaud. When Qin Miao came closer, he felt a little embarrassed looking at the enthusiastic convoy.

But Qin Miao still walked into the crowd with gritted teeth. Looking at these somewhat unfamiliar faces amid the applause, Qin Miao did not say anything. He just smiled and nodded to each of them before walking in front of Wasser.

Vasseur smiled and joked: "Welcome, Emperor of Maranello."

"No, no, no." Qin Miao waved his hands quickly.

The reason for this joke is that after Mercedes-Benz announced the early termination of its contract with Qin Miao, Italy's Corriere dello Sport published a press release titled "The great Qin Miao finally returned to his loyal Maranello."

Of course, there are many other press releases, such as: "The Great Qin Miao Arrives in His Kingdom"

"Qin Miao finally brought his talent to Maranello"

"The kid who left Ferrari finally returned to his hometown"

……

All in all, the entire Maranello was excited about Qin Miao's arrival.

As for many people in Tiefu Temple, they were already quite sorry that Qin Miao, a talented driver who came out of Ferrari's youth training, had one foot in the door of Ferrari, but ultimately did not join Ferrari.

During the three years that Qin Miao fought with Mercedes, almost every time Qin Miao stepped onto the highest podium, and even when he won the Drivers' World Championship three times, many Ferrari fans had fantasized that if Qin Miao did not go to Mercedes after graduating from F2, but stayed at Ferrari and became a formal driver, then all this should belong to Ferrari.

However, this emotion did not dissipate over time. In fact, as Qin Miao's influence on the field grew, this emotion accumulated more and more.

Thus, under the leadership of Saint Wa, all the Iron Buddha Temples finally saw the scene that could be said to be a dream.

Countless loyal fans of the Iron Buddha Temple were so excited that they couldn't even sleep.

"We've been waiting for you. The contract is ready. I sent it to your wife yesterday. She has confirmed that there is no problem. Now we're waiting for you to sign it." Wasser said with a smile, putting his arm around Qin Miao's shoulders.

Qin Miao nodded: "Qiu Meng has already told me before we left. Let's go and sign."

As Qin Miao and Vasseur entered the Ferrari team house, the staff lined up at the Ferrari team house watched them leave their sight.

The signing ceremony was not even held in Vasseur's office, but in the reception area of ​​the Ferrari team's home. In the middle of the reception area was a table with three copies of the contract on it.

Sitting face to face with Vasseur, Qin Miao took a deep breath and looked at the Ferrari prancing horse logo on the three contracts in front of him. Then he lowered his head and signed his name in the signature column of the contract.

The signing process was exactly the same as the process of signing the early termination contract at Mercedes-Benz two days ago. After signing my name in the name column, I signed my name again on the side of the contract to prevent forgery.

After Qin Miao signed, Vasseur also signed his name on the contract. Qin Miao then took one copy, the Ferrari team represented by Vasseur took one copy, and the last copy was handed over to a local notary agency in Abu Dhabi.

The local notary agency in Abu Dhabi was found after consultation between Ferrari and Qin Miao's agency team.

After all, no one is suitable to be the notary team at this time.

Go to Maranello. If Qin Miao and Ferrari have a dispute due to the contract, the lawsuit will have to be filed in Italy.

Although it is not to the extent that Ferrari is the winner of Maranello, but unless you have absolute evidence, the judge will definitely favor local companies during the lawsuit.

The same goes for Qin Miao, so if a third-party agency is found, even if something really goes wrong, both parties will be able to go to court openly.

Of course, as an F1 team, there are rarely any major problems with drivers' contracts.

After all, if you really cheat the driver in the contract, will your team's reputation be lost?
With such a huge fan base, any stain would be an extremely heavy blow to the F1 team.

After all, the team ultimately makes money from fans.

Putting these irrelevant remarks aside, after Qin Miao and Vasseur's names were included in these three contracts, Qin Miao officially became a formal driver of the Ferrari team.

Ferrari is different from Mercedes-Benz. The current Ferrari team does not have a title sponsor. The full name of the team is just Ferrari Team.

After the two parties exchanged the contract and stood up to shake hands, the ribbon tube that had been prepared long ago suddenly began to snap.

Applause and cheers as well as colorful streamers sprayed from streamer buckets filled the entire Ferrari team home.

All the Ferrari team employees had excited smiles on their faces.

This is not because they really want to see Qin Miao return to Ferrari. Of course, there are many loyal fans of Tiefu Temple who really want to see this scene, but most people are so happy because they all know how terrifying Qin Miao's talent is.

Qin Miao's return to the Ferrari team means that Ferrari will most likely win the driver's world championship as well as the team's world championship in 24 years. With the blessing of these two championships, it goes without saying that Ferrari will most likely give everyone a large bonus.

You said that there is such a God of Wealth joining your team, how can you not be happy?

After signing, Wasser smiled and opened his arms to Qin Miao and said, "Welcome home."

Qin Miao smiled and hugged him, saying, "Thank you." After letting go of Qin Miao, Vassell said, "The clothes and helmet are ready for you, and the car has already been debugged. You should be able to drive when you change your clothes and go to the team's P room."

Qin Miao nodded after hearing this: "I can't wait any longer."

But Wasser shrugged and said, "But I'm afraid not now. You still have to go for an interview before that. Don't worry, it won't take too long."

Qin Miao blinked: "Can I refuse?"

Vasseur smiled and said: "Of course, you are now one of the shareholders of the Ferrari team, and there are clear clauses in your contract that you can refuse all commercial activities and interviews."

"But I don't recommend doing that. After all, this is a good opportunity to say hello to all the fans who support you and the Ferrari Iron Buddhas, isn't it?"

Qin Miao nodded: "You succeeded in convincing me."

"Come on, let's go change our clothes first."

Vasseur personally took Qin Miao to the second floor of the Ferrari team's home and brought him to the door of a room with Qin Miao's name on it: "This is your lounge. Leclerc's is next door." He pointed to a room next to Qin Miao's room.

Qin Miao grabbed the door handle of his lounge with some curiosity, opened it, and walked in.

What surprised Qin Miao was the layout of the room. It was more like a small room than a lounge.

The interior has a very grand Ferrari style, with Ferrari logos on both the sofa and the TV, and the overall color of the room is red.

Although small, it has everything you need before the game, and even a separate bathroom.

At the same time, a bouquet of flowers was placed on the table in the lounge.

To be honest, Qin Miao had never received gifts such as flowers before entering the racing field. But after entering the paddock, Qin Miao received a lot of such gifts, whether from fans or the team.

So Qin Miao simply glanced over the bouquet of flowers and fixed his eyes on four neatly folded sets of clothes and a helmet next to the bouquet.

The texture of this helmet is roughly the same as the one Qin Miao used in Mercedes-Benz, with the same blue and white porcelain cracks as the main pattern. The number 66 on the helmet is still printed on the side.

The only difference is that the edge of the No. 66 has been changed to yellow with the red interior wrapped around it.

At the same time, the position where Mercedes' silver three-pointed star was originally printed in the center of the helmet was replaced with Ferrari's prancing horse logo.

Qin Miao walked up to these things, picked up the helmet and looked at it carefully.

I didn't notice it from a distance, but upon closer inspection, I found that this helmet is quite different from the one I used in the 23 season.

Vasseur noticed Qin Miao's action and explained, "We actually thought about printing the helmet print from your F2 period on this helmet, but after checking, we found out that the helmet print is copyrighted, and you didn't design a helmet style specifically for your Ferrari team, so we copied the helmet print from your Mercedes-Benz, and after making some improvements to the print, we made this helmet. I hope you like it."

Qin Miao picked up the helmet, looked around, and nodded: "Thank you, I like it very much."

After looking at his helmet, Qin Miao put it down and turned his eyes to his racing suit.

To Qin Miao's surprise, Ferrari actually prepared four sets of clothes of different styles for him.

If Qin Miao remembered correctly, the clothes worn by all Ferrari staff and senior executives were the same style.

It's not like Mercedes, where the team managers wear white shirts and the staff wear black uniforms.

Therefore, Mercedes-Benz team uniforms normally have four types, namely racing suits, linings, staff uniforms and leadership team uniforms.

Normally, Ferrari should only have three types of clothes, but I have four types of clothes just like in Mercedes-Benz.

So Qin Miao set his sights on the extra black clothes.

Vasseur also saw Qin Miao's confusion and explained with a smile: "Normally, our drivers only have three sets of clothes, but you are different. After all, you are not only a driver, but also one of the bosses of the Ferrari team, so you have an extra set of black Ferrari uniforms than the rest of us. You are the only one in the entire Ferrari team who has this set of clothes."

After hearing this, Qin Miao looked at Vasser in surprise.

“Will this…”

Before Qin Miao finished speaking, Wasser crossed his arms and said with a smile: "You deserve it."

Qin Miao reached out and touched the distinctive black Ferrari uniform, then retracted his hand, scratched his hair, stepped back and said, "Wow, this is such an unexpected surprise."

But Qin Miao was not as humble as usual. Although Qin Miao was worried that he might not be able to meet the expectations of everyone at Ferrari, Qin Miao also knew that what he should do at this time was to give them confidence instead of pouring cold water on them right away.

"Okay, we won't disturb you from changing clothes. This dress is customized according to your body shape, so it shouldn't be too tight for you. But if you have any questions, just come to us." After saying that, Wasser drove out the official Ferrari photographer who was holding a camera and shooting. He also took two steps back and closed the door, leaving the space to Qin Miao.

Looking at the four sets of clothes in front of him, he took a deep breath and did not wear the black set of clothes that belonged to him alone, nor did he wear the red set of team uniforms that everyone in Ferrari wore. Instead, he changed directly into the Ferrari racing suit.

This is not because Qin Miao is modest, but because Qin Miao really doesn't like the design of the Ferrari uniform.

In fact, up to now, everything about Ferrari has made Qin Miao feel quite satisfied.

The only thing that made Qin Miao a little dissatisfied was the style of Ferrari's clothes.

Qin Miao doesn't like wearing clothes with collars because such collars are difficult to take care of and easily get dirty.

The most important thing is that Qin Miao is a patient with obsessive-compulsive disorder. He will feel very uncomfortable if the collars on both sides are not symmetrical.

If you want the collared clothes to be symmetrical on both sides, you have to button the top button, which will tighten your neck and make Qin Miao feel even more uncomfortable.

He also doesn't like buttons.

It’s still a question of symmetry.

It can be said that the Ferrari team uniform perfectly hits all of Qin Miao's weak points.

Therefore, Qin Miao finally chose to put on the Ferrari racing suit in advance.

After putting on his clothes, Qin Miao only put on half of the outer layer of his racing suit, then tied the two sleeves at his waist and walked out with them hanging down at his waist. (End of this chapter)
