How Did I Become an F1 Driver?

The sprint race rankings and scores are as follows:

Qin Miao: +17

Tsunoda: +12

Zhou Guanyu: +10

Mick: +8

Aikente: +6

Dretraz: +4

Ilott: +2

Mazepin: +1

After the sprint race, Qin Miao's total score has reached 196 points.

Although there are still seven races to go in this season's F2, the strength and stability Qin Miao has shown on the field so far.

No one doubts that the F2 championship this season will ultimately be in Qin Miao's hands.

Actually, after the F2 race, Ferrari did not simply give Qin Miao a call telling him to come to watch the race in Ferrari's P room; it was Binotto himself who called Qin Miao to invite him to watch the race in Ferrari's P room again.

Moreover, this time was not just about letting Qin Miao stay inside the P room but preparing a spot for him at the command table position.

F2 drivers may be called to watch from the command table position, but those drivers can mostly only stand next to the command table and watch.

Not to mention, it's somewhat harsh to watch the whole race standing nearby; calling a young driver to the command table alongside to watch the race represents the team's recognition of the driver.

Aside from other things, once this signal is sent out, a lot of sponsors will definitely want to sponsor the driver before he grows up.

As long as the driver is willing, he can easily earn several million RMB through endorsements in a short period.

Most importantly, appearing here can easily expand their visibility in the field.

This is an opportunity that many F2 drivers wish for.

This time, Binotto not only got Qin Miao to come here but also prepared a chair for Qin Miao specially. From these small details, it can be seen that Binotto truly wants to show Qin Miao how much he values him.

In fact, Binotto still wants Qin Miao to drive for Ferrari for a year, using Qin Miao's one-year contract to make an issue of it.

He believes in Qin Miao's ability, in Ferrari's upcoming internal test, he has the power to defeat Sainz. Even though Binotto doesn't have Qin Miao's actual F1 racing data to back it up, he trusts his judgment.

Once Qin Miao defeats Sainz, Binotto can ask the higher-ups to consider having Qin Miao drive for Ferrari for a year to see his performance.

If it doesn't work out, then just replace him since it's only a one-year contract, and there's still Sainz as a backup plan.

But if Qin Miao's performance is good, then let him complete the year, and simply do not renew the contract for the second year.

After all, we at Ferrari have our own team strategy, can't afford to train three drivers, right?

Binotto knows that what follows is nonsense. With Qin Miao's terrifying talent, once he runs a race for Ferrari, the higher-ups will see Qin Miao's frightening capabilities. It will be easy for Qin Miao to get on Ferrari, but not so easy to get off.

However, none of this matters now because Qin Miao directly declined Binotto's invitation.

All that's left is a high stool beside Ferrari's command table whose purpose is unclear.

...

After today's race, the F2 trucks in the paddock were pulling their luggage and leaving the paddock.

Prema also immediately set off after the race. They need to return to Vicenza to hold a meeting and perform a comprehensive inspection on the two cars.

After all, engine failure is not a minor issue, both cars need to be checked for internal risks.

It can be foreseen that Sui Wentao and his team's holiday this week is completely ruined.

However, Qin Miao didn't go back with them, choosing to stay one more day in the UK. The purpose has been mentioned earlier, Mercedes team manager Toto wants to meet Qin Miao.

In the evening, Qin Miao and Zhou Guanyu relaxed together for a night...

Don't overthink it; relaxation here means the two of them didn't train or touch simulators, they simply played games for an evening.

Having managed to find some downtime, Qimeng also didn't spoil their fun, letting them play until after 11 PM before sending them off to bed.

The next day, under the influence of his biological clock, Qin Miao woke up early. Possibly due to system reasons, Qin Miao's sleep quality is usually excellent, requiring very little sleep.

Knowing today's meeting with Toto is relevant to Qin Miao's future career, Qimeng had already prepared a fitting gray suit for Qin Miao the night before while he was gaming.

As Qin Miao's face still retained a bit of youthful innocence, wearing a black suit would give him the look of a child dressed in adult clothes.

So, Qimeng chose a softer gray suit for Qin Miao.

Gray better matches Qin Miao's demeanor and isn't as somber as black, which he simply couldn't pull off; yet it's formal enough.

After dressing up, Qimeng helped Qin Miao tidy the collar and nodded in satisfaction once nothing was amiss.

Girls enjoy dressing up games, and Qimeng is no exception. Styling Qin Miao, who only cares about comfort and convenience, into an outfit she likes gives her a sense of achievement.

After checking the mirror to ensure everything's okay, Qin Miao said, "I'm off."

"Go on, speak politely after you meet and tame your temper," Qimeng advised despite feeling assured about Qin Miao.
