After the game, the observers also left. Just as Qin Miao didn't know when they appeared, Qin Miao didn't know when they left.
However, when Qin Miao returned home from the team meeting, Qiu Meng told Qin Miao some surprising news.
"About when you were receiving your award on the podium at the end of the game, Toto called me. He wanted to meet you."
Obviously, Qin Miao's performance in the F2 arena impressed Toto.
If Qin Miao's previous performance in F2 can only be said to have made other teams have the intention to sign Qin Miao, but after Qin Miao's mistake last Sunday, coupled with Ferrari's blow, Qin Miao was still able to maintain his own his true intention and perform stably on the field.
Qin Miao's ability to withstand pressure coupled with his dominant performance on the field completely impressed Mercedes.
However, the cooperation between the old man and Bottas is quite good at this time, but I don't know whether they want Qin Miao to go to Williams to experience for a year or whether they want Qin Miao to become Mercedes' reserve driver.
Of course, the possibility of Qin Miao directly entering Mercedes and driving is not ruled out.
But the possibility of the last one is relatively low, because Mercedes is not Red Bull.
Qin Miao, who had just sat down and was about to take a good rest, suddenly heard this question.
At first, Qin Miao was a little surprised when he heard the news, but thinking about the recent rumors in the paddock, Qin Miao basically knew what the other party was thinking.
So Qin Miao asked: "Did he say a specific time to meet?"
"He said Monday at ten o'clock in the morning, and he also gave me the address." Qiu Meng said it directly without even checking her phone. She had obviously remembered it in her heart.
Qin Miao nodded, but they didn't think too deeply about the specific reason why Toto came to him.
We have to meet and chat anyway, won’t we know when we meet?
Moreover, the time of meeting was right after the second Silverstone Grand Prix, so it’s useless to think about it so much now.
Of course, there are still teams under observation at this time. Although they are also very interested in Qin Miao, they have not made any moves in a short period of time.
Not long after this incident, Zhou Guanyu came back.
Zhou Guanyu's performance in today's race was not very good, and the team meeting after the race was a bit long, probably to summarize mistakes or something else.
As soon as she saw Zhou Guanyu, Qin Miao remembered that this guy had stayed in the paddock much longer than herself.
Instead of having a headache thinking about it yourself, why not ask him for his opinion.
Thinking of this, Qin Miao quickly pulled Zhou Guanyu to sit on the sofa.
Zhou Guanyu put down the soy sauce he was carrying and sat down with confusion on his face.
Qiu Meng asked him to bring the soy sauce, and the bottle at home was expired.
"what?"
Qin Miao cleared her throat and then said, "Brother, something happened recently."
Zhou Guanyu crossed his arms and leaned back on the sofa. The meaning was obvious: If you have something to say, I am all ears.
Qin Miao touched her nose and said with some embarrassment: "Didn't I have a small incident at Ferrari recently? Then Toto from Mercedes-Benz came to see me, and Red Bull had also contacted me before. At that time, He said he could help me pay the liquidated damages in the contract..."
Zhou Guanyu originally thought that Qin Miao came to him because he wanted to find someone to talk to about his inner annoyance and pain.
But the more he listened to Qin Miao's words, the more he felt something was wrong. Are you here to show off or to complain?
So after Qin Miao finished speaking, Zhou Guanyu stood up and prepared to leave.
Damn it, I want to go to F1 and the team is not willing to take it. You are helping to pay the liquidated damages, and the team leader personally came to talk to you. What driver can stand it?
Fortunately, Qin Miao and Zhou Guanyu had a good relationship, otherwise Qin Miao would have been beaten severely for speaking like this.
Qin Miao quickly stopped Zhou Guanyu who was about to get up and leave: "Brother, Brother Yu! Don't go, don't go, I'm serious."
Before Zhou Guanyu could speak, Qin Miao explained: "The main reason is that there are so many choices I can make now that I don't even know how to choose.
At Ferrari, Binotto fought for me internally. There will be an internal test before the start of next season. If my test results are better than Enns, I can drive normally for one year next season on my contract. Ferrari.
I'm very confident about this, and internal testing is totally out of the question for me.
On the Mercedes side, although they have not clearly expressed their intention for me, Toto personally came over on Monday morning to invite me to meet and talk. They paid full attention to me, but I don’t think I can drive a Mercedes as soon as I go there. It is very likely that I will enter the Williams car to experience it for a year and then see my subsequent performance.
Red Bull has already sent me a contract of intent. Although the other party has not contacted me yet, I believe that if I want to, I should be able to enter the Red Bull system and drive next season, but it should also start with Red Bull, but it is possible. After performing well in the middle of the drive, he immediately entered the first team. After all, Albon is somewhat acclimated to Red Bull's cars. "
When Qin Miao said this, Zhou Guanyu had already sat down again. "you mean?"
"Help me refer to it, how should I choose?"
Zhou Guanyu helplessly held his forehead.
Those who suffer from drought will die from drought, and those who suffer from waterlogging will die from waterlogging.
Putting his thoughts back, Zhou Guanyu thought carefully for a while, not considering whether Qin Miao could become a qualified driver, but judging which team Qin Miao would be suitable for based on his personality.
After thinking for a long time, Zhou Guanyu looked up at Qin Miao again, and Qin Miao was mentally prepared to listen to Zhou Guanyu's insights.
"have no idea."
Qin Miao:......
"Hey, hey, put your fist down, no, you should ask your wife and mother about such an important matter. What do you mean by asking me?" Zhou Guanyu explained as he backed away.
Qin Miao didn't really want to beat Zhou Guanyu. Seeing that he really didn't have any good suggestions, Qin Miao put down his fist and said helplessly: "I think you have been in the paddock for so long and you know some inside information and can provide me with it." Get some ideas or something.”
Zhou Guanyu waved his hand: "I'm just a little shrimp. I've only been in F2 for a year and a half. How can I have inside information about these big teams?"
Qin Miao nodded: "That's right, I shouldn't count on you."
Zhou Guanyu rolled his eyes angrily, but didn't say anything more about the matter. When people are anxious, they always hope to get support from other sources. This is human nature, and Zhou Guanyu can understand it.
It's just that Qin Miao's current situation does make Zhou Guanyu feel envious. After all, no young man in this industry has not imagined that he will kill everyone in the F2 field.
But after entering F2, the cold reality tells you that you are not special. There are more than 20 young drivers as talented as you.
But this person who looks like the hero of a cool novel appeared in front of Zhou Guanyu like this, and used his performance to make countless F2 teams feel envious, because Qin Miao's current state is what they most want to achieve.
"Hey, I'm so confused, what should I choose~"
Seeing that Qin Miao was still pretending to be in front of him, Zhou Guanyu became angry and jealous. He picked up the pillow on his sofa and said, "I will torture you to death, so I don't have to choose!"
"Fuck!" Qin Miao was stunned for a moment when a pillow hit her head. Then she picked up a pillow on the sofa and said, "How dare you! How dare you disobey your father!"
Qiu Meng, who heard some loud commotion in the living room, poked her head out of the study out of curiosity, and saw Qin Miao and Zhou Guanyu beating each other with pillows.
In just a few rounds of confrontation, the cotton wool in the pillow was thrown out by the two of them, flying all over the living room.
Shaking her head helplessly, Qiu Meng turned around and returned to the study, continuing to do her own business.
Anyway, someone will be called over to clean the house then. Zhou Guanyu doesn't have any fragile items like porcelain at home, and he's not afraid of breaking things.
After 10 minutes, the number of pillows on Zhou Guanyu's sofa was -2.
Zhou Guanyu's sofa originally had six pillows, but now four of them have been damaged.
Normal pillows are actually not that easy to break, but they both have very good physical fitness. You must know that the F2 car does not have power steering. When cornering, the steering wheel is controlled solely by the strength of the F2 driver's arms.
It’s no surprise that pillows are broken in just a few rounds.
…
The next day, the start of the sprint race.
Qin Miao started in eighth position, while Zhou Guanyu was in ninth.
Although Qin Miao did not respond directly to Zhou Guanyu's request yesterday, they are friends after all. Even if Zhou Guanyu doesn't say anything, Qin Miao will give him some support to a certain extent.
There were still people observing Qin Miao's performance in today's competition. The number of people did not decrease, but increased slightly. However, these people may also be here to observe other drivers.
Qin Miao had begun to get used to the presence of these people, so he quickly retracted his thoughts.
Normally, the first shot after the F2 race broadcast starts is usually the scenery or some distinctive corners on the track.
As for today's game, the director pointed his camera directly at Qin Miao, who was ranked eighth, and almost inserted his lens under Qin Miao's flip-flops and filmed Qin Miao's face.
Qin Miao naturally saw the photographer in front of him, but from his angle he couldn't see the live broadcast screen, and he didn't know if his own picture was being shown on it. However, being idle was also idle, and Qin Miao was right He blinked at the camera.
"Qin Miao's facial features are actually quite good-looking, and the whole thing is very coordinated. After looking at it for a long time, you will feel very comfortable."
What Qin Miao didn't know was that the three commentators from Five-Star Sports and the audience watching Five-Star Sports happened to see his sudden action.
Zhou Haoran even commented on Qin Miao's appearance.
…
As for the race process, in summary, it was basically the same as the previous F2 sprint races without rain. Qin Miao was chopping melons and vegetables.
He fights against his competitors unilaterally.
Qin Miao finished the 21-lap race on a set of hard tires.
During this period, he passed from eighth to first on the 12th lap, and Zhou Guanyu also followed Qin Miao to pick up his wallet.
All the way from ninth to third.
If you say that Zhou Guanyu has not specially practiced how to follow a car, no one will believe it.
Zhou Guanyu basically found every opportunity along the way, and Qin Miao's overtaking method was also very suitable for Zhou Guanyu's performance.
Qin Miao's overtaking method is generally to rely on DRS to absorb the wake of the car in front, then complete the tap and occupy the inside line before entering the bend, then rely on late braking to force the inside line, and then exit the corner to complete the overtaking.
Zhou Guanyu would usually stick to the back of Qin Miao's car to pick up his wallet at this time. At the same time, he would also block the unlucky guy who was being fucked from returning to the normal driving lane.
Also relying on this method, Zhou Guanyu reached the third position.
If Tsunoda, currently in second place, hadn't forced his way into Zhou Guanyu's lane when Zhou Guanyu intervened, and even had a wheel-to-wheel collision with Zhou Guanyu, Zhou Guanyu would have been in second place at this moment.
The last three people crossed the finish line one after another according to this ranking.
…
After the team meeting after the race, Qin Miao came to the door of Zhou Guanyu's team and waited for his friend, and then the two left the paddock side by side.
"By the way, there will be the F1 race later. Logically speaking, Ferrari should ask you to go to the P room to watch the race. Why didn't you go today?" Zhou Guanyu asked curiously on the way out of the paddock.
Qin Miao shrugged: "I called, but I didn't go."
"You..." Zhou Guanyu wanted to say something. After all, not every F2 driver can enjoy this kind of opportunity, but he thought of the situation Qin Miao was encountering now. In the end, Zhou Guanyu didn't say anything more on this topic. Instead, he asked: "Have you made up your mind?"
Qin Miao obviously knew what Zhou Guanyu was asking: "What's the point of making up your mind? Strictly speaking, my brothers have been kicked out, so I won't praise their bad feet."
Zhou Guanyu patted Qin Miao on the shoulder: "Father's love is like a mountain. As a father, I will continue to be your strong backing."
"Damn it, I'll die!" Qin Miao raised his foot and kicked Qin Miao on the butt.
Zhou Guanyu wanted to dodge, but with the third-place trophy in one hand and the third-place champagne in the other, his agility attributes were weakened by the two objects in his hands, and he received a moderate kick from Qin Miao on the butt.
…
Luo Xin felt a little sad when he saw the two young men leaving the paddock having a fight.
Although he didn't say it explicitly, Qin Miao's current behavior means that he no longer wants to stay at Ferrari, and his sense of belonging to Ferrari should have been almost worn away in those political struggles.
If nothing unexpected happens, Qin Miao will leave the Ferrari youth training to join other teams in the near future.
Luo Xin was anxious in her eyes, but she had no choice but to watch Qin Miao's back fading away.
At the same time, Rossin is also clearly aware of how serious the political struggle within Ferrari is now, and those people have reached the point where they can sacrifice the interests of the team for their own interests.
Looking at Qin Miao, who was holding the trophy and carrying champagne, leaving the paddock side by side with Zhou Guanyu, Luo Xin let out a long sigh: "Wofa ethane~"
ps. I’m thinking about the follow-up plot, and I don’t have time to update it. There are only 4,000 today…
