When Qin Miao met Hamilton at the team's factory, she also asked why they were so happy that the Singapore Grand Prix had been cancelled.

Then Hamilton took Qin Miao to the team's professional training room for an afternoon of saunas, and the key was to turn on the simulator in the process.

Under the sweltering hot water vapor of more than 50 degrees, I still have to concentrate on opening the simulator, and the key simulator is still in a state of full force feedback.

After training like this for an hour, not a single piece of skin on Qin Miao's body was dry.

You know, it was June, and although it can't be said to be the hottest time in the UK, the average temperature was around 30 degrees.

At that time, Qin Miao understood why other veteran drivers were particularly disgusted with running races at the Marina Bay Circuit.

Then Qin Miao also joined the ranks of clapping and applauding.

The Turkish Grand Prix has not been featured in the F1 calendar in previous years, and it will not be in the calendar this year, as the circuit was created purely to fill the gap left by the cancellation of the Singapore Grand Prix.

This track is completely unfamiliar to Qin Miao, whether it is in F2 or F1, Qin Miao has never raced on this track.

Fortunately, the prompt given by the FIA was relatively early, so Qin Miao took the time to watch last year's Turkish Grand Prix.

I also practiced driving on this track for a while on the team's simulator.

However, during the rest period after running the simulator, when chatting with the director of the Mercedes Simulator Department, the other party told Qin Miao very covertly: In fact, the data collection of the Mercedes Simulator Department for the Istanbul track is not comprehensive enough.

Looking at Qin Miao's surprised expression, the other party explained: "After all, this track has only been made up for the past two years because of the insufficient number of tracks on the calendar, and after the epidemic passes next season, this track will not hold a Grand Prix." ”

Naturally, the team didn't spend much time collecting track data at the Istanbul circuit.

It was just the structure of the track and the corners that were taken out, and the shoulder height of the track and the height difference of the track were measured at the same time.

But the asphalt on the track was not inspected much.

Although it is only a simulator, the team's simulator department checks the asphalt density and arrangement of the asphalt on the track, which is basically the lane of every corner.

Import 3D modeling into the simulator.

It's a huge undertaking, and track asphalt testing and data collection on a track can take months to complete.

No matter how rich the team is, it is impossible for the Mercedes team to waste too much manpower and material resources on a track that only runs one Grand Prix and does not run.

Originally, Turkey's Istanbul Circuit was only used for emergencies in 2020.

The Turkish track of the 21st calendar was also added temporarily, so the simulator department of Meiben really thought that this track would only run once, so they did not collect asphalt data for this track.

In June, when they were asked to host the Grand Prix instead of Singapore's Marina Bay Circuit, the organizers said they needed to resurface the asphalt.

It was too late to collect data after they had laid the asphalt, so they simply left it alone.

Therefore, the asphalt data of the Istanbul circuit is the asphalt data of the Monza circuit, which is similar to the asphalt data of this track.

Qin Miao didn't know what the difference was between the two types of asphalt, but according to Hamilton's report after the experience, the driving feel on the simulator was not much different from the driving feel on the track in reality.

……

After the race, as F1 drivers, Qin Miao had a lot of work to do.

After the race, the press conference, sponsorship activities, Qin Miao also had a media interview with Meiben Racing Team.

After everything was done, Qin Miao left the paddock at almost six o'clock in the afternoon, when it was dark.

After returning to the hotel, Qin Miao and Qiu Meng did not go back to the UK directly as usual, but rested in Sochi for the night.

The next day, I got on the plane back to the UK.

After returning home, Qin Miao naturally rested comfortably for a day, and on this day, Qin Miao didn't do anything, and he didn't play the game.

As soon as I got my fishing tackle, I sat by the artificial lake near my house for a day.

This is a rare time for Qin Miao to empty his mind now, no longer think about dealing with other people, and don't have to think about whether it will be inappropriate for him to answer like this.

At this time, Qin Miao didn't need to say anything, just squinted his eyes and stared at the fish drift in the distance.

But the fishing guy, although Qin Miao bought a lot of bait from China this time, he still didn't hit a single fish in a day.

Maybe the Air Force is the eternal fate of the Diaoyu.

However, it is worth mentioning that when Qin Miao went back, he took out his mobile phone more than once to check the price of industrial pumps.

A mood that goes against the spirit of the fishing guy is brewing.

On Tuesday, Qin Miao resumed her daily training on Tuesday, but it is worth mentioning that Norris called Qin Miao in the morning and wanted to invite Qin Miao to his house for a light meal.

It's not hard to guess what Norris is looking for himself for at this time.

After all, that kind of thing happened on the track, and after resting for a while and calming down a little for a while, Norris wanted to invite Qin Miao to a meal and apologize.

But seriously, if you lose the championship because of someone else's mistake, even if you stabilize your emotions very rationally, and even take the initiative to forgive the other party, there will eventually be a pimple in your heart.

In fact, Qin Miao didn't really want to go, but Norris said that he had prepared a gift for Qin Miao that Qin Miao would definitely like when Qin Miao was not ready to go.

"You've invited you to dinner, what other gifts are you going to prepare, all JB buddy, why are you so polite? Rest assured, it will be there in the evening! ”

Pimple? What pimple?

In the past, Qin Miao really regarded money as dung, and felt that the money was enough to spend.

But now Qin Miao wants to settle in Monaco on the one hand, and the housing prices in Monaco are close to the second ring of the capital.

On the other hand, Qin Miao also wanted to get a private jet, after all, after experiencing Toto and Hamilton's plane, Qin Miao understood how happy he was to have a private jet.

But whether it's a private jet or a property in Monaco, it's a huge expense.

As soon as Qin Miao and Qiu Meng checked their accounts, Qin Miao's account currently has a total of more than 20 million US dollars in liquidity.

Monaco can only choose one of the two houses, planes, so Qin Miao subconsciously began to bow to money.

It's hard to make money.

Seeing Norris on Tuesday, Qin Miao and the other party naturally had a good conversation, and it was a pity that Qin Miao didn't drink, so the relationship between the two after a meal didn't heat up too quickly, but it basically solved the pimple in Qin Miao's heart.

After eating, Norris also took Qin Miao to play a game of golf in the evening.

Even though it was night, when the lights on the golf course were turned on at full power, it would not affect Qin Miao's play.

After playing at more than nine o'clock, Qin Miao was ready to say goodbye.

Before leaving, Norris gave Qin Miao a thank you gift that he had prepared.

However, Qin Miao didn't open it for the first time, although the foreign side didn't mind the act of opening the gift in person, but Qin Miao's own tutor made him never think about opening the gift in front of others.

After returning home, Qin Miao put the gift given by Norris on the dining table at home, and Qiu Meng wore Qin Miao's coat when she heard the movement, and came to Qin Miao's side barefoot.

"What's that?" Qiu Meng asked probely.

"A gift from Norris." Qin Miao replied.

Qiu Meng nodded: "Oh, apologize to you?" ”

Qin Miao recalled the picture of her dinner with Norris this afternoon: "It shouldn't be counted, Norris is still quite upright in his heart, plus I have a good relationship with Norris, after that incident, Norris probably felt a little guilty, so he gave me a gift to relieve the uncomfortable feeling in my heart." ”

"Makes sense, open it up and take a look." Qiu Meng nodded approvingly, and then couldn't wait to urge Qin Miao.

Qin Miao didn't hesitate and opened the gift given by Norris.

After opening this box, what appeared in front of Qin Miao was a row of porcelain that was tightly guarded.

When these porcelains are opened, there is a whole set of blue and white porcelain vases and pots and the like.

Qin Miao and Qiu Meng didn't have much knowledge of this kind of things, they only knew that these things looked beautiful, and the patterns on the outer walls of these blue and white porcelain seemed to be related, and they should be a complete set of things.

Qin Miao didn't think that Norris would give him a set of blue and white porcelain that could be bought anywhere, so these things were estimated to be very valuable.

However, Qin Miao and Qiu Meng really didn't know how they should treat these things, whether they should directly use them as antiques and find a place to put them at home, or should they just be a set of ordinary vases and put them at home.

At this time, it was impossible for Qin Miao to call and ask Norris.

Looking at the time, it is now more than ten o'clock in the evening, and it is 8 o'clock in the morning in China, and Boss Zhou should have just woken up during this time period.

So Qin Miao took some photos of these porcelains with her mobile phone and sent them to Boss Zhou, if the other party saw it and was free, she asked the other party to call her back.

After the photo was sent, Qin Miao picked up the girl in Qiu Meng's exclamation and prepared to take a bath.

But Qin Miao had just picked up Qiu Meng and walked two steps when the mobile phone in her pocket rang.

took out his mobile phone and saw that Boss Zhou was calling.

……

After communicating with Boss Zhou, as Qin Miao imagined, the things Norris gave to Qin Miao were worth a fortune.

But Qin Miao couldn't sell this thing anyway.

This is an antique, a complete set of antiques, which seems to have been robbed when the Eight-Nation Coalition invaded China.

Although Norris has a good relationship with Qin Miao, he is also honest as a friend.

But Norris is British, after all.

And British antiques......

That's really everyone who understands it.

Although Britain is now in decline, people all over the world will not forget the great lack of great virtue.

So there's no need to guess how these Chinese antiques got into the UK.

But in any case, this can be regarded as a piece of Norris's heart, and Qin Miao can't help but appreciate it.

The resentment in my heart has completely dissipated.

As for what to do with this thing......

In the end, Qin Miao directly asked for a day off from the team on Wednesday, and did not go to the team factory, but took Qiu Meng and these antiques to the embassy in London together.

Qin Miao's place of residence is not far from London, 50 kilometers in a straight line, and 71 kilometers by car.

It's an hour's drive away.

Over the years, many people have sent cultural relics obtained or bought from all over the United Kingdom to the embassy, but after Qin Miao appeared at the door of the embassy and was recognized by the embassy people, they were really surprised for a while.

After all, it was the first time they had seen such a domestic celebrity send cultural relics to the embassy.

After all, he came to donate things, and Qin Miao also received due treatment at the embassy.

After a brief greeting between the two sides, the two sides sat down.

Then he began to inspect the cultural relics that Qin Miao was going to donate.

After Hao Yifan tested it and confirmed that it was a genuine thing, and it was worth a lot of money, the other party still asked Qin Miao to repeat and confirm: "Mr. Qin, are you sure you want to donate these things to the country?" ”

"Sure!" Qin Miao didn't hesitate when she answered.

You carefully looked at Qin Miao's expression, and after making sure that Qin Miao was not joking, the other party nodded solemnly.

Then he carefully closed the lid and handed it to the other staff members to put away.

After that, he solemnly stood in front of Qin Miao and stretched out his hand to Qin Miao.

"I am very grateful to Mr. Qin for his support for the recovery of cultural relics in my country."

Qin Miao also got up and shook hands with the other party: "It's just a gesture, the key is such a valuable thing, I don't know how to appreciate it, it's really a waste to put me here." ”

In fact, after the handover of things was completed, Qin Miao was ready to go home, after all, the main purpose of this trip had been achieved.

However, Qin Miao still underestimated his status in the hearts of foreign compatriots.

After the official chat, the embassy staff had to invite Qin Miao to the embassy's cafeteria for a meal.

It happened that it was almost time for dinner at this time, and the other party made it clear that the chefs in the embassy were all from China, and although the ingredients were different, if you wanted to eat the taste of China, it had to be here.

Qin Miao was also very gracious, and finally had no choice but to stay at the embassy for lunch.

But don't say it, it tastes really good.

Originally, Qin Miao thought that it would be almost the same after lunch, but after eating, more staff members heard the news, and even the staff on vacation hurriedly ran to the embassy's cafeteria after knowing that they were coming.

Naturally, the next step is a group photo, a sign and other routine processes.

Although Qin Miao is used to being asked for autographs by fans, government departments like embassies have always been more serious in the eyes of Qin Miao in the past.

But now being chased by the embassy staff to sign autographs, Qin Miao felt a strong pyrotechnic aura in them, and at the same time, he felt a little complacent in his heart.

Such awesome people are my car fans.

Being liked by such a group of people, Qin Miao was indeed very happy in her heart.

Qin Miao stayed at the embassy until more than three o'clock in the afternoon before leaving.

It's a pity that the ambassador himself didn't stay in London today because of work, and Qin Miao couldn't see the other party.

As for Qin Miao's donation of cultural relics, after all, Qin Miao still has to eat abroad to eat, so Qin Miao doesn't want to make a noise about this matter.

Maybe Norris didn't care that Qin Miao donated what he gave to Qin Miao to their country's museum, but British fans might not think so.

What do you mean by the things we worked so hard to grab, you just gave them away?

Therefore, Qin Miao chose to donate anonymously, and only the people in the embassy and museum know who donated this cultural relic.

And that's how it ended.

After returning home, Qin Miao told Qiu Meng what she had encountered at the embassy.

Qiu Mengdao didn't seem to be much surprised, Qin Miao's influence abroad is really quite large, especially among Chinese students and Chinese communities.

Basically, it's an existence that everyone knows and everyone knows.

After this incident, Qin Miao didn't bother too much about this matter.

However, on Thursday, Qin Miao received another piece of good news, that is, Leclerc really helped Qin Miao find a good house in Monaco.

It's just that the house is not a mansion, just a 130-square-meter commercial house.

However, it is not easy to find a property for sale in Monaco, which is more expensive than BJ.

Because of Leclerc's relationship, the price of this house is not too expensive, only $8 million.

However, the location is not particularly good, although you can see the sea, but the living room can not see, only the balcony of the master bedroom can see the sea.

And the house is located on the edge of Monaco, 200 meters from the edge of France.

Of course, Qin Miao didn't have too many requirements for where he lived, and he had a larger garage where he could park his car.

And he bought a house in Monaco mainly to avoid more than 40% of the personal income tax in Europe and the United States, which he really can't afford to pay, it's too expensive.

However, Qin Miao obviously hasn't been able to go to see the house for a while now.

Although this period of time was Qin Miao's rest time, it was impossible for Qin Miao to waste his training for the sake of a house.

So the day after receiving Leclerc's news, Qiu Meng went to Monaco, while Qin Miao continued to stay at home to train.

After that, buying a house, including settling in Monaco, was also handled by Qiu Meng.

After all, personal income tax is completely exempt, and for high-income people like Qin Miao, Monaco is really a good settlement.

The point is that Monaco also has Leclerc, Norris, Ricciardo.

In this way, it will be much more convenient to go out for dinner.

In addition to this, there is Hulkenberg, Albon.

The two former F1 drivers also currently live in Monaco.

Hamilton also owns property in Monaco, although he is still registered in the United Kingdom.

In short, this matter was handed over to Qiu Meng to deal with, and Qin Miao also believed that she would handle it well.

Qin, on the other hand, put all his attention on the upcoming Turkish Grand Prix.

Fast forward to Sunday.

Even though it was Sunday, Qin Miao still appeared in the simulator department of the Meiben team.

And Toto was also at work today, and when he passed by the team simulator department, he saw Qin Miao practicing on the simulator again.

You know, because it was Sunday, Bottas didn't come to the team factory today.

Toto was a little surprised when he saw Qin Miao at the door of the simulator department, but he didn't bother Qin Miao and left with his file bag in his arms.

In fact, except for the four days of race day, the rest of the time is at their disposal, and they are basically busy making money or resting all over the world, and they have no time to come to the team.

Like Qin Miao, who soaks in the team simulator every day, he basically can't find a second one.

Even Hamilton.

So in fact, many people in the Meiben team now prefer Qin Miao more than Hamilton.

In addition to this there is a Bottas.

But during the period when he didn't have a car, Bottas basically soaked in the team every day, helping the team develop racing cars.

Even because of this, the relationship between Qin Miao and Bottas has eased a lot.

After all, as long as the two of them don't race on weekdays, they are basically in a state of looking up and not looking down.

From the very beginning of the meeting, no one cared about anyone, and slowly developed to nod to each other when they met, and now the two will say hello after meeting.

If you encounter any problems, you will get together and exchange opinions with each other.

The reason why the staff of the Mercedes team likes these two,

Mainly because they saw their own shadows in these two drivers, and saw the unlucky worker who worked from 9 to 5 every day, and had to work overtime from time to time on Saturdays and Sundays without rest.

Maybe these two earn more than both of them, but at least they work as long as they do.

……

After Toto returned to his office, he worked for a while, and when he rested, Toto's shadow appeared in his mind.

After thinking about it, he called the person in charge of the simulator department and asked Qin Miao to come to his office after his work was over

At this time, Qin Miao also happened to finish a long-distance test.

After briefly communicating with the staff about his driving experience and the state of the car, and filling out a form with ease, he received a notice and went upstairs to Toto's office with some reluctance.

Toto's office is usually not closed, Qin Miao knocked on the door and walked in at Toto's signal.

After Qin Miao came in, Toto pointed to the office in front of him and said, "Sit down."

Want something to drink? ”

Qin Miao waved her hand: "No need, do you have anything to do with me?" ”

Toto's opening remarks were nothing more than a polite remark, and Toto, who had been a driver for a while, knew that F1 drivers couldn't drink drinks on a regular basis.

Since Qin Miao didn't want to say anything, Toto also said straight to the point: "I am looking for you this time, mainly because I want to talk to you about the contract." ”

When Qin Miao heard this, he roughly guessed Toto's thoughts.

Although he is currently not in the standings, he is constantly being narrowed by Hamilton.

But it is undeniable that Qin Miao is still in the leading position in the standings.

And according to her own growth rate, Qin Miao may really be able to win the championship this season.

This time, Toto looked for himself, probably just to talk about the renewal of the contract.
