The four of us ate this meal for almost three hours, adding water and a packet of seasonings four times.
After all, they are all engaged in sports, and all three of them are relatively good eaters.
However, everyone had a certain tolerance for drinking, so after finishing the wine Qin Miao ordered, they didn't order any more. Instead, they started chatting about things in the paddock under the influence of alcohol.
What can be said but cannot be said is spitted out like beans.
Fortunately, this is just a private party after all, so there is no need to worry that what is said at this party will be spread out.
After eating, although both Leclerc and Zhou Guanyu were still conscious, Qiu Meng still called their assistant to take them back.
After both of them were sent away, Qin Miao and Qiu Meng cleaned up and washed the pot before washing up and going to bed.
The next day, Qin Miao and Qiu Meng took the car back to Vicenza.
Qiu Meng went to return the hot pot to the boss, while Qin Miao went to report to Luo Xin.
After taking care of the matters at hand, the two returned to their homes.
After working outside for such a long time, Qin Miao's strong physical fitness was a little tired, but after returning home, he still insisted on completing the physical training and daily training on the simulator that needed to be completed every day.
However, after the training was completed, Qin Miao still started to play games directly with Zhou Guanyu.
As for Leclerc?
After all, he is an F1 driver. Leclerc earns much more money than the two of them in a year, so he naturally has much less rest time than the two of them.
Just like now, Qin Miao and Zhou Guanyu had nearly a week of rest after finishing the F2 race, while Leclerc only had two days.
The rest of the time, I am either taking photos for promotion or sponsor advertisements, or participating in some programs and activities to expand my influence as much as possible around the world.
Qin Miao was happy and free, but Zhou Guanyu actually yearned for Leclerc's life. After all, as long as a person is human, he will subconsciously want to climb higher. Not everyone is as salty as Qin Miao and Happy-go-lucky.
There is nothing much to say about the rest time in the past few days. After all, the two of them have more free time during the break, and because of the current environment, neither of them wants to go out, so they can only stay at home and play games.
As a result, Qin Miao and Zhou Guanyu scored another wave of points, and finally returned to FPL.
However, the two people's unprofessional behavior was soon known to domestic car fans and friends.
Because Zhou Guanyu's CSGO game ID appeared on Weibo, Qin Miao's Qiu Meng also posted casual photos of daily life on Weibo. Among them, Qin Miao was captured and sent by Qiu Meng while playing games. Quite a few.
Therefore, some fans who also play CSGO curiously checked their inventories and found their game records in Faceit according to their Steam names.
Put it on the post bar.
Good guys, during the five-day holiday, the two of them were playing CSGO in the afternoons and evenings of these five days. Basically, they started playing after the lunch break in the afternoon and continued playing until dinner, and then continued playing after dinner. Rest time until ten o'clock in the evening.
Those who didn’t know better thought that these two were not official F2 drivers, but CSGO professional players. They played the game so hard.
[These two addictions are a bit big, right?]
[Internet addicted boy, right? 】
[As soon as I have a holiday, I will work hard to improve my scores]
[You two look at each other, many F2 drivers even went to F3 during this break, but you stayed at home and played on the computer all day long]
[Although two people playing games together can prove that the relationship between the two is indeed very good, but you should not forget your own work]
[What does it have to do with you if people play games during their holidays? Is it your turn to point fingers? 】
[Holy shit, Xiao Qin and Xiao Zhou not only drive well, but they also play CSGO so well? Play FPL directly? 】
[These two people are really fierce. I saw them in Niko's live broadcast room last time and they were very successful in FPL, but it seems that Niko and the others don't know the true identities of Xiao Qin and Xiao Zhou]
[I don’t know if I can see them playing games live]
[It shouldn’t be possible. Drivers all have team contracts. Generally speaking, teams have regulations in this regard]
[The management of this team is too broad]
Qin Miao, who has recently devoted most of his energy to games, naturally does not know about this.
However, after five days of being crazy, Qin Miao also started to get busy. The main things he was busy with were the advertisements and photos that Qin Miao signed for endorsements.
Although the requirements for these sponsorships are low, they are not without requirements.
However, Qin Miao can handle everything after a busy day today, and it doesn't take much effort.
After finishing his work, Qin Miao resumed his daily training.
In the morning, I exercise to keep my driving skills on the simulator at home, and in the afternoon I go to the team to report. I usually learn the driving methods of other F1 drivers and practice how to deal with emergencies.
This kind of day lasted for several days. On Wednesday of the competition week, after Qin Miao completed a day of study and was walking from the team's station to his dormitory, he was suddenly stopped by a reporter.
Seeing him rush towards her with a microphone and a staff member holding a camera behind him, Qin Miao was stunned for a while, then subconsciously took two steps back and asked cautiously: "What are you going to do?"
"Hello Qin Miao, I am a reporter from Italy Today Press. Can I ask you a few questions?"
To be honest, Qin Miao doesn't read newspapers at all, and has never even heard of what kind of publishing house Italy Today is.
But before Qin Miao could say anything, the other party continued to ask anxiously: "According to rumors in the paddock, Ferrari is in contact with McLaren at this time, and there are rumors that Ferrari intends to sign Sainz. The negotiation process is already underway. In this regard, there are also rumors that you have signed with the Ferrari F1 team and have performed well in the F2 competition. It is very likely that you will join the Ferrari team next season. What do you want to say? ?”
The other party said a long paragraph of words, very fast, but Qin Miao just heard what the other party was saying clearly.
To be honest, it is really a waste of his talent to not go to China to talk about cross talk with this eloquence.
Back to the other person’s problem.
After hearing the other party's question, Qin Miao thought carefully for a while. If the news was true, then Qin Miao would indeed feel a little sick after hearing the news.
He signed a contract with himself on the front foot, and there were rumors in the paddock that Ferrari had contacted Sainz.
You must know that there are no rumors in the F1 paddock, and the news that can be circulated in the paddock is nine times out of ten true.
As for the authenticity of this rumor, there is no need to confirm. Since the other party can find him and ask him this question bluntly, there is an 80% chance that what is said in the rumors really happened in the paddock.
But besides feeling sick, Qin Miao couldn't do anything else. After all, no matter how he could control thunder and lightning in F2, it was only in F2. F2 cars were fundamentally different from F1 cars.
Just because you can drive F2 well doesn't mean you can drive F1 well. There is a reason why Ferrari doesn't trust Qin Miao.
The uncomfortable feeling in his heart did exist, but in front of reporters, Qin Miao knew that he couldn't show it.
"The recent games have proven Sainz's strength on the field. From the perspective of a Ferrari youth trainee, I certainly welcome Sainz's joining. His joining will definitely make Ferrari have a brighter future. future!" When Qin Miao said this, his face was full of sincerity, as if what he said was what he was thinking.
However, the reporter was obviously not satisfied with Qin Miao's answer, but Qin Miao, who had already answered a question, got on his scooter and left.
The reporter who wanted to ask a few more questions could only watch Qin Miao's back helplessly as he walked away.
But after all, after getting Qin Miao's answer, he could go back to his boss to report, so the tabloid reporter did not continue to pester Qin Miao, but came to the photographer to see if the picture just taken was clear.
…
When Qin Miao returned home, she felt her head swell when she thought of the news she had just received.
But he didn't say much. He turned around and opened the social software that he hadn't opened for a long time. He flipped through it and found this rumor.
And this rumor has spread quite widely, and many people are discussing this message.
This is really the first time Qin Miao has experienced this kind of thing. The other party has agreed with you that you will try out for one season next season. We will only sign the contract for one year. If you perform well, we will renew it. You can also respond accordingly. If you put forward higher requirements and perform poorly, aren't there still so many teams outside that want to contact you? You can also go to them.
Lehehe agreed and signed the contract, but the other party turned around and found someone else.
Qin Miao was really convinced.
At the same time, after confirming that this rumor was true, Qin Miao's favorable impression of Ferrari's top management also dropped to freezing point.
Qin Miao did not call to inquire about the specific situation. At this time, Qin Miao had the same idea as Ferrari when he contacted Sainz. The contract was only for one year anyway.
Since you think I am not suitable and have gone to find someone else, I will not renew the contract after it ends, and I will find another job.
This year's F2 championship, Qin Miao, is basically determined, because after winning the F2 championship, he can no longer stay in F2, so next season Qin Miao will either run the Le Mans Endurance Race or go to FE. In Formula E, if Arrow and Haas are interested, Qin Miao wouldn't mind working as a mercenary for their team for a year.
Qin Miao still has a way out. After all, Qiu Meng and Qin Miao said that some people from China had contacted her some time ago and said that they were planning to build a Le Mans team. If Qin Miao wanted to join, they could ensure that Qin Miao was in the team. The tactical position of driver No. 1.
The Weilai Racing Team in FE also called Qiu Meng.
However, facing FE, which is slower than F2, Qin Miao really has no interest in it, so among Qin Miao's priorities, FE ranks behind the endurance race.
After shaking his somewhat groggy head, Qin Miao went to the refrigerator to get a bottle of Coke. After drinking half a bottle of Coke in one breath, which was not good for his body, Qin Miao felt a little calmer.
After taking a few deep breaths, Qin Miao stood up and turned on the simulator.
"What a fool, are you kidding me? Looking for Sainz, right?" Qin Miao muttered while sitting on the simulator and started the first additional training in his life.
However, working hard in a short period of time will not bring too obvious results, and he is going to the UK tomorrow, and there is no extra time for Qin Miao to practice.
But this news did ignite a fire in Qin Miao's heart. It made Qin Miao dissatisfied with Ferrari and also made him aware of his own shortcomings.
After killing everyone in F2 for a few races, Qin Miao was already a little drifting. At that time, he did not have the same enthusiasm for racing as before.
Although he still loved racing at that time, he found that he no longer had the same feeling as before, when he knew he was going to encounter a racing car and he immediately became excited and couldn't wait to get into the racing car.
As the saying goes, when your hobby becomes a job, all your enthusiasm for the hobby will quickly fade.
This is Qin Miao's current situation.
Therefore, during his break, Qin Miao no longer spent most of his time practicing his driving skills as before, but spent more time playing games.
Now that this has happened, Qin Miao has regained his passion for racing at home.
…
On Thursday, Qin Miao followed the convoy to the UK alone.
Qin Miao did not check into the hotel prepared for him by the team this time, but went to Zhou Guanyu's home.
Zhou Guanyu also welcomed Qin Miao very much, and had already asked someone to help Qin Miao tidy up his room before Qin Miao arrived.
Without being polite to the other party, Qin Miao checked in with her things and bags.
There was still some time in the morning, so Zhou Guanyu asked curiously: "What do you mean in the morning? Two handfuls? Have something to eat at noon and then go to the track in the afternoon. I will take you to get familiar with Silverstone."
Qin Miao shook his head and said: "I won't play in the morning. I will go to the simulator to practice the rain battle in Silverstone."
After saying that, he turned directly and entered the room where Zhou Guanyu and Qin Miao's simulator equipment and computers were kept.
Zhou Guanyu was confused when he saw Qin Miao's strange performance. It was impossible for Qin Miao to refuse the CSGO invitation he sent out in his free time. What happened today? Stimulated?
"What's wrong with you?" Zhou Guanyu asked curiously, looking at Qin Miao who had entered the room, sat on the simulator, and turned on the simulator computer.
Qin Miao did not explain, but adjusted his seat position while waiting for the simulator computer to start.
Zhou Guanyu saw that Qin Miao was not very interested in talking, but he had no intention of letting Qin Miao go. He leaned over and said shamelessly: "Let's talk."
Qin Miao, who knew Zhou Guanyu to a certain extent, knew that if he didn't tell the real reason, this guy would pester him all night.
So I could only explain with some shame: "Ferrari has begun to contact McLaren's Sainz."
