How did I become an F1 driver?

Then Qin Miao tried to hook the fish's lips with a hook as Leclerc said.

However, when Qin Miao tried, he discovered to his dismay that the tuna's mouth was too thick and the hook could not get in at all. Moreover, the space inside the fish's mouth was small and he had no way of exerting force to get the hook into the fish's mouth and lift it up.

Until he remembered what Leclerc said, Qin Miao directly inserted the hook into the position under the fish's gills.

Then he pulled the fish out of the sea.

Leclerc and the others immediately gathered around to watch.

Qin Miao didn't think there was anything special about this, he just thought the process of catching fish was quite interesting.

But after seeing the fish, the two brothers Leclerc started mumbling something: "Bad weather, wrong fishing line, the crabs we released are smelly, the fishing boat is too shaking, the fishing line is leaking electricity, it's the novice welfare period..." and so on.

It makes people laugh when they think about it.

Then the Leclerc brothers stopped chatting with Qin Miao and instead quietly guarded their fishing rods and waited for the fish.

As an old fisherman, although I have never tried sea fishing, the goal is the same.

He knew that the two Leclerc brothers were provoked by him.

When it was time for dinner, Qin Miao thought Leclerc and the others had prepared some self-heating food, but Leclerc grabbed a frozen tuna from the storage room inside the fishing boat and threw it into Qin Miao's arms.

Qin Miao:?
Seeing Qin Miao's puzzled look, Leclerc pouted at Qin Miao and said, "Why are you looking at me? Go get something to eat."

Qin Miao:!
"Fuck, I thought you really wanted to go out and play with me, but I didn't expect you two called me out fishing for this purpose!" Qin Miao said in surprise.

"You can't say that. This is called playing to your strengths..." Leclerc said with a smile.

Qin Miao:......

In the end, Qin Miao succumbed to Leclerc's tyranny.

I have no choice but to surrender. Now I am floating on the sea and I can't see any trace of land when I look around. If I want to go back, I can only rely on this bastard Leclerc's ship.

Although Qin Miao had eaten sashimi before, he really didn't have any feelings about it.

The taste is weird. I really don’t know why these foreigners like to eat this stuff. Are they really not afraid of parasites?
Also because Qin Miao doesn't eat sashimi, he has never bought tuna. Now that he has this thing in his hands, Qin Miao can't help but start thinking about how to make it taste better.

As Qin Miao expected, when Qin Miao was about to start cooking, he found that Leclerc had already prepared seasonings for him. They were all seasonings commonly used in cooking in China, including onions, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, cooking wine and the like.

Qin Miao simply cut the fish into pieces and grilled it.

After all, no matter what it is, the taste will not be too bad when it is roasted.

But in fact, tuna meat is not suitable for barbecue, as it will have a strange smell.

After tasting a piece of roasted fish, Qin Miao spit out the piece of fish. When he roasted it again, he added a lot of pepper and Sichuan pepper, as well as a little garlic and cooking wine.

When I ate it again, it tasted really good, that smell had been completely suppressed, leaving only the original taste of the fish and the aroma of the spices.

However, although the dish tasted good, Qin Miao himself still felt it was not up to standard because it tasted quite different from his normal cooking.

But you can't blame Qin Miao, because Qin Miao only knows how to cook domestic dishes.

The trip to the sea was not long, and the three of them returned in the evening.

Of course, when they returned, the three of them took away a lot of catches.

Qin Miao may really be a newbie in sea fishing.
Among the three people, he caught the most fish, a total of 6.

Although the other two people had some catches, just one of the six fish caught by Qin Miao was heavier than the two small tunas they caught combined.

So much so that Leclerc even doubted whether he was really so unlucky.

When returning home, Leclerc asked Arthur to take the fish back, and he went to Qin Miao's house.

After all, Leclerc felt itchy because he didn't see little Muchu calling him godfather.

As soon as he opened the door, Qin Miao heard the sound of the TV and his daughter's laughter.

When I walked over, I saw Qiu Meng teasing the child with her head down.

"I am back."

Qiu Meng, who was playing with Xiao Mu Qiu, suddenly raised her head: "Brother~"

Then Qiu Meng just threw a pillow next to Xiao Muchu to prevent her from rolling off the sofa when she turned over, and then she trotted towards Qin Miao.

Then he jumped up and threw himself onto Qin Miao.

Leclerc, who was behind Qin Miao, was originally looking forward to seeing Xiao Muchu, and then he saw this scene at the door.

Leclerc immediately felt as if he had been fed a mouthful of dog food. After silently cursing in his heart, he changed his shoes and quickly walked towards the sofa in the living room.

Then he saw little Muchu lying on the sofa with a confused look on his face, not knowing why his mother suddenly left.

"Hi, cute little guy, do you still recognize me?" The moment he saw little Muchu, Leclerc seemed to be under some kind of illusion or charm. His tone became softer, even a little sarcastic.

Qin Miao didn't have time to care about why Leclerc suddenly turned into a clamp. He was being bitten by Qiu Meng like a facehugger...

Of course, although Leclerc really wanted to hear little Muchu call him godfather, after trying for a long time, little Muchu remained unmoved.

He just kept hesitating, "g...g" for a long time.

If you don’t know, you might think that the little guy won the game and was happily saying GG to the opponent.

But when Qiu Meng had satisfied her desire and got off Qin Miao, Qin Miao came to Xiao Muchu with a pair of slightly swollen lips.

Qin Miao saw that the little guy immediately stopped mumbling, and while smiling and clapping at Qin Miao, he shouted clearly: "Dad... Dad."

The only flaw may be that the two words are not very coherent and seem a bit awkward.

When Qin Miao heard his daughter calling him, he didn't bother to show off to Leclerc. He came to the sofa and picked up his daughter.

After turning around, Qin Miao said to Xiao Muchu, "Come here, girl, give daddy a kiss."

"Wave!"

Leclerc: ...

It’s a good thing that he doesn’t know Adu’s “He Must Love You”, otherwise Leclerc would definitely sing a line at this time: I should be under the car, not in the car.

This is both showing off their love and showing a loving father and a filial daughter...

Leclerc felt his body warm. …

Qin Miao stayed in Monaco until Sunday of this week, during which time he naturally visited the royal palace.

But what surprised Qin Miao was that he saw Albert II's black stewardess lover and his two children in the Monaco Palace.

Although Qin Miao still maintained basic etiquette when he met the other party, to be honest, Qin Miao had great doubts and questions about Albert II's aesthetics.

Is this Nico too good in bed? How did Albert II fall in love with her?

However, Qin Miao just went to visit and left after sitting for more than half an hour.

After the visit, Qin Miao left Monaco and returned to Maranello the next day.

Qiu Meng and his friends returned home early after returning to Maranello.

Normally, with Qiu Meng and her friends' schedule, she could take her daughter to watch the game in Japan, but considering the current situation in Japan, Qin Miao and Qiu Meng were worried that little Muchu might be affected by nuclear radiation in Japan.

Maybe this is the unique feeling of being a parent, with all the care and confusion that comes with being a parent.

So Qiu Meng decided to return home early to prepare for the Shanghai Grand Prix.

Qin Miao stayed in Maranello for two days and flew to Japan on Leclerc's private jet on Wednesday.

As for Qin Miao's plane...

Isn't this for my wife and kids?

After landing in Japan, because the Suzuka Circuit is not in the city of Tokyo, Japan, but in the countryside of Tsu City, Qin Miao did not stay in a hotel this time. Instead, he lived in an area designated by the FIA ​​for all team drivers, where many team RVs were parked, including Ferrari's.

After landing, Qin Miao continued to carry out his work as usual, training, looking at data and studying the track.

Time quickly came to Thursday, media day.

What surprised Qin Miao was that the composition of car fans at the scene was beyond Qin Miao's expectations.

To be honest, Red Bull and Lynk & Co are still using Honda engines, so Qin Miao was mentally prepared to play away games before he came.

What Qin Miao didn't expect was that on Thursday's media day, many local media and VIPs who were able to enter the venue early were mostly fans of Qin Miao and Ferrari.

Even when it was Friday and fans started to arrive, Qin Miao discovered that among the fans, there was an even split of Ferrari fans and fans of other teams.

Excluding Ferrari fans, about one-third of the remaining half of the fans are Lynk & Co fans.

The local fans who support Red Bull are in the minority.

But after thinking about it, Qin Miao felt it was normal.

Although Lynk & Co is a Chinese team, there is a Japanese driver in the Chinese team. It is not surprising that local Japanese car fans like this team.

Of course, this was just a small episode after Qin Miao arrived in Japan. Qin Miao spent most of his time and attention on the track.

Ferrari also brought an upgrade for this week's Grand Prix weekend, but the upgrade was very small, with only one floor upgrade.

Red Bull has upgraded six items.

In fact, Ferrari still has a lot of upgrades, but for Qin Miao, they are all planned to be kept until the Chinese station and taken out all at once. Even many upgraded parts have been shipped to Shanghai in advance.

After all, they also know that Shanghai is the home of their star driver Qin Miao, so naturally they need to do their best to help Qin Miao win the championship of the home Grand Prix.

So Ferrari held back a big move.

As for this race, at least in Ferrari's own simulator and Qin Miao's own feeling, the current performance of SF24 is enough for Qin Miao to compete for the championship in the Japanese Grand Prix.

In the T1 stage, Qin Miao's work went as smoothly as usual. He even ran second in the qualifying simulation. At the end of the final practice, Qin Miao was only behind Verstappen.

This made Ferrari and Qin Miao feel a lot more at ease. Red Bull's upgrade effect was not significant, and Ferrari still had the ability to compete with Red Bull.

However, there were some minor accidents on the track during the first practice session. For example, Sargent ran onto the grass at T7 and the car hit the guardrail outside the track sideways. The front wing, rear wing, gearbox and suspension of the Williams car were all seriously damaged.

The good news is that Williams brought enough spare parts this time, and the embarrassing situation as in the last race, which left the other driver without a car, will not happen again.

The bad news is that the Williams car used upgraded parts in this race, so Sargent had to switch back to the car parts before the upgrade to compete.

But at least for Williams, as long as Sargent does not crash in the next race, Williams can at least ensure that both cars appear on the track.

The second training phase was a bit boring, Qin Miao didn't even come out to run.

Because of the heavy rain on the track and the low temperature in Japan in April, the team assessed that it was impossible to generate any useful data on the track and there was a possibility of accidents.

Although everyone knows Qin Miao's stability, for the sake of protecting the engine and gearbox, the two Ferrari cars did not leave the garage during the entire second practice session.

Even half an hour before the end of the race, the director captured Qin Miao climbing out of the car and leaving the field early.

On Saturday, during the qualifying phase, I won’t say much about Q1 and Q2.

In the two stages, Qin Miao only used two sets of new tires and achieved good results, advancing to the next round in fourth place both times.

However, Qin Miao's teammate Leclerc suffered from acclimatization problems. Although he also entered Q3, Leclerc's first flying lap in both stages was not good, so he used an extra set of soft tires.

This resulted in Leclerc only having one set of soft tires left in Q3.

In the final Q3 stage, Qin Miao and Ferrari found that they were tricked by Red Bull.

The upgrades brought by Red Bull Racing this Grand Prix weekend have been excellent.

Verstappen even ran an incredible time of 3:1 in the last flying lap of Q28.197.

In comparison, Qin Miao only ran 1:28.498, which was 0.301 seconds slower than Verstappen.

In the end, Qin Miao didn't even make it into the top three and only ranked fourth.

After the qualifying round, Qin Miao knew he was only fourth and asked in confusion: "How can Verstappen be so much faster than me?"

Franky was helpless. How could he know?
So the only response was: "We will discuss this matter after the game."

But for Qin Miao, not making it into the top three in qualifying was good news because after getting off the car he could go directly to Zhongchong to accept the post-race interview.

But when Qin Miao saw Leclerc on the way to the weigh-in, Qin Miao asked curiously: "Which one?"

Leclerc looked helpless: "Seventh."

Qin Miao:?
"You've been cursed." Qin Miao asked in surprise. (End of this chapter)
