However, putting aside the situation outside the arena, Qin Miao has been out of the queue for the championship in this US Grand Prix.

Because of engine wear, Qin Miao needed to replace a new set of power units in this game.

This was planned by the team a long time ago, and Qin Miao had already been mentally prepared, so Qin Miao didn't think that he could have a good result in the American station.

The expectations of the team and Qin Miao for this race are that the top five finishes will be enough.

This time, the team replaced Qin Miao's full set of power unit components, unlike Hamilton at the previous stop, which only replaced an internal combustion engine.

Qin Miao's replacement includes the internal combustion engine, MGU-K, MGU-H, turbo, and exhaust system.

Therefore, Qin Miao's penalty position is more than Hamilton's, Hamilton is punished for 10 positions, and Qin Miao is directly punished to the end of the team.

It is worth mentioning that Qin Miao's replacement also includes the gearbox, but the gearbox on Qin Miao's side does not exceed the use limit, so replacing the gearbox will not cause more penalties.

According to the team's calculations, after replacing this set of engines until the end of this season's competition, Qin Miao does not need to replace the engine, and the only thing that needs to be replaced may be the exhaust system.

However, each driver has 9 sets of exhausts every season, so if you save a little money, you won't be able to use them up in a season.

But in any case, these are all things that need to be considered after a month, and they have nothing to do with the current Qin Miao.

After returning home, Qin Miao played with the computer for a night.

However, when the time came to the next day, although it was still on vacation, Qin Miao had already resumed his daily training.

And Qiu Meng stayed with Qin Miao at home for two days, and after Qin Miao started to work in the factory on the third day, she also left the UK and went to Monaco.

Although Qiu Meng was not ready to change to a bigger house, considering Qin Miao's work content.

The family needs to prepare a room for Qin Miao to play games, and a racing simulator may have to be integrated inside, and the function of the study may also have to be taken into account, in addition to this, a fitness room is also needed.

After such a set of rooms are prepared, it is estimated that there will be only three rooms left in the end, and then a master bedroom and a secondary bedroom will be left with a guest bedroom or something else.

In short, preparing a house for yourself to live in can be described as a thousand things.

Although after knowing that Qin Miao was going to buy a house, whether it was Leclerc or Zhou Guanyu, they all recommended some good interior designers to Qin Miao.

But Qiu Meng refused.

Strictly speaking, this is the first house that the two of them bought in their lives, and it is not so much a house as a home for the two.

For her own home, Qiu Meng is very concerned, and even she wants to decorate it herself, anyway, compared with Qin Miao, Qiu Meng has a lot of free time to spend on this.

And in the afternoon after Qiu Meng left, Zhou Guanyu drove to Qin Miao's house.

Although the relationship between Qin Miao and Qiu Meng is really good, Qin Miao has never had the idea of stealing fish.

But married men know that although you love your wife very much, after being together, when you do something that you know is harmful, your wife will always obstruct or interfere with your choice.

Once your lover goes out, no one is in charge of you, and you are the only one in the house, the feeling of relaxation, tranquility, and ease is extremely wonderful.

After making sure that no one was in charge of herself, and Qiu Meng would not come back for a short time, Qin Miao involuntarily began to let herself go.

After Zhou Guanyu arrived home, Qin Miao basically didn't do anything else except for daily training.

Rest? doesn't exist, the game is a dozen for an afternoon.

Sleep at night? Sleep a JB! Fishing!

At eleven o'clock in the evening, Qin Miao and Zhou Guanyu picked up their equipment, drove Qin Miao's RV and went fishing in the park near their home.

When you are sleepy, you go straight to sleep in the RV.

What stands out is a lawlessness.

played with Zhou Guanyu for three days in this way, during this time Qin Miao's schedule was completely chaotic, often going to bed at more than 2 o'clock in the morning, getting up at 11 o'clock in the morning, exercising for an hour, and starting to play with the computer again.

With such a bad schedule, neither of them had any lack of energy.

The main thing is that he is still young, he can stand up to the end, and he will be refreshed after sleeping for four or five hours after an all-nighter.

Of course, it was impossible for the two of them not to do anything, and on the afternoon of the fourth day, Qin Miao took Zhou Guanyu to the Meiben team.

However, because Zhou Guanyu is a Renault youth driver, Zhou Guanyu basically has no access to new components and concepts developed on the side of the Mercedes team.

But because of Qin Miao, Zhou Guanyu can go up and try the feeling of driving an F1 car by himself when the simulator department is not busy, and find a feel on a professional simulator in advance to prepare for next year's car.

I just don't know if Zhou Guanyu will have an obvious sense of disparity after experiencing Mercedes-Benz's top F1 racing simulator and then experiencing Arrow's racing simulator

Speaking of Zhou Guanyu, when fishing with him, the two inevitably chatted about Zhou Guanyu's seat next season.

Zhou Guanyu said that Ah Luo's side had already moved, and if nothing else, Qin Miao would be able to compete with Zhou Guanyu in the same paddock next season.

But at this time, both parties just have an obvious intention, the specific content and terms of the contract are still in the process of negotiation, and it is also necessary to end the F2 race, Zhou Guanyu's super driver's license points are enough, Zhou Guanyu can sign a contract with Arrow.

And because of the confidentiality agreement, this matter cannot be told to outsiders, nor can it be made public.

As for why Zhou Guanyu said to Qin Miao?

As Zhou Guanyu's father-in-law, Qin Miao knew that these shouldn't be taken for granted?

The short but beautiful rest time always passed quickly, and Qin Miao and Zhou Guanyu's life and rest, which was extremely unhealthy for the drivers, came to an abrupt end after Qiu Meng returned to the UK two days early.

Looking at the messy room, the two people who looked a little haggard, and the takeaway boxes piled up in the trash in the study that they hadn't had time to throw away.

Qiu Meng and Qin Miao have been together for almost three years, and for the first time, they felt their blood pressure rise, the corners of their eyes jumped wildly, and an uncontrollable anger erupted from the inside out.

"I'm not at home, so you're just going to live like this, aren't you!?" Looking at the two of them sitting on the sofa with their heads bowed like children who had made a mistake, Qiu Meng reprimanded.

"What are you doing, don't you have any points in your heart? What should I do when I play against my body so badly? ”

"And you Zhou Guanyu! Why don't you stay at home and train in F1 and you're messing around with him? ”

Hearing this, Zhou Guanyu silently raised his hand and said: "Actually, I already have a ...... next season"

Before Zhou Guanyu finished speaking, Qiu Meng burst out: "Shut up!" ”

"Hey~" Zhou Guanyu responded, silently putting down the hand he had just raised.

Zhou Guanyu glanced at Qin Miao with some sympathy, Qiu Meng is really soft and weak on weekdays, and she is completely a particularly gentle girl.

I never thought that Qiu Meng would have such a side, presumably Qin Miao would not have a good time at home on weekdays.

But the fact is that Qin Miao has never seen such Qiu Meng, and he was also a little overwhelmed by Qiu Meng's words.

And Qiu Meng's side, the number of people who rushed to the crown angrily fell for five or six minutes.

Qiu Meng is not a character who is easy to get angry, and even if she is really angry, it will fade quickly.

So after counting the two of them for a while, looking at the two of them bowing their heads and admitting their mistakes, Qiu Meng's anger in her heart almost disappeared.

The reason why Qiu Meng has such a performance is because Qiu Meng was busy in Monaco during this time, and all she was thinking about was the decoration of the new house and the purchase of furniture to decorate the room, and she was really tired.

When I got home, I saw the depraved appearance of these two goods, and I was immediately angry.

Another reason is that these two are professional drivers, and they don't pay attention to their physical health at all, and for the future career planning of these two people, Qiu Meng can't be indifferent to this.

On the contrary, Qiu Meng, who was not thrown away in the messy home and garbage in the trash can, was not very angry.

Men, it's normal to have a little chaos at home.

But in any case, Qiu Meng didn't delve into this matter, but before forgiving the two of them, Qiu Meng took out her mobile phone and pointed it at the two of them, and turned on the recording function of the mobile phone.

"Apologies!"

Qin Miao and Zhou Guanyu reluctantly recorded an apology video under Qiu Meng's scrutinizing gaze.

"I'm Qin Miao, I deeply realized my mistake, I shouldn't have dragged Zhou Guanyu over to stay up late to play games together, I shouldn't eat junk food, I shouldn't disrupt my schedule, I shouldn't drive an RV out to fish in the middle of the night, I deeply check ......"

Halfway through Qin Miao's words, Qiu Meng's voice suddenly rose a few degrees: "You two went out fishing in an RV in the middle of the night??? ”

The UK is not like a domestic country, and the country runs out at night, worrying that when you are hungry, you will see a night snack stall and you can't control your mouth.

If you run out at night abroad, you may not be able to control the blood that rushes out.

……

Not surprisingly, after discovering this incident, Qin Miao and Zhou Guanyu were caught and scolded by Qiu Meng again.

But in the end, Qiu Meng still let the two go, of course, the review video recorded by these two people was saved by Qiu Meng, and stored in the cloud disk in front of the two of them, even if Qin Miao stole Qiu Meng's mobile phone and deleted this video, there was also a backup on the Internet.

"If you two go out fishing at night and don't sleep on time, you see if I will post these videos on the Internet, and then you two will be embarrassed in front of fans all over the world." Qiu Meng gritted her back molars, threatening viciously.

Qin Miao and Zhou Guanyu naturally admitted their mistakes resignedly, and promised that they would never dare again in the future.

After that, Zhou Guanyu also stayed in Qin Miao's house, while Qiu Meng began to clean up the mess left by the two ancestors.

Qin Miao and Zhou Guanyu were about to help when they were driven away by Qiu Meng in disgust.

Zhou Guanyu stayed mainly to rub the simulator of the Meiben team.

However, Qin Miao's face can't be used all the time, and if Qin Miao's face is used too much, it will be worthless.

So Zhou Guanyu still stayed at Qin Miao's house during this time and practiced with the simulator at Qin Miao's house.

Anyway, in addition to physical training, Qin Miao spent most of her time working in the simulator department of the team, and she didn't need this simulator at home, so she naturally handed it over to Zhou Guanyu to use.

The data that Zhou Guanyu ran out with the simulator will be brought to the team by Qin Miao, and the big data model of the team simulator department will be used to score the data run by Zhou Guanyu.

By the way, let's analyze Zhou Guanyu's problems in line routing and driving.

Although the opinions given by the big data model only have one basic reference opinion, it is not comparable with Qin Miao's kind of simulation that every time he runs the simulator, the people in the simulator department collect and summarize the data, and explain to Qin Miao where there is a problem in this lap, how to solve this problem, and which method can cut out the speed of 0.1~0.2 seconds in the corner.

But at least there is a reference, Zhou Guanyu can also find some problems that he did not find before, and improve them.

Zhou Guanyu usually doesn't have such an opportunity, although he is a Renault academy driver, and there is also a simulator developed by Renault that can be used.

But Renault's simulator is not as good as Meiben, and it is just a simulator, and it can't give Zhou Guanyu any feedback, and the problem has to be found by Zhou Guanyu and his coach, and then solved.

The gap in efficiency is obvious.

After returning to normal life, time always flies.

On Tuesday, October 19, Qin Miao went to Austin, Texas, USA.

At this time, Zhou Guanyu also returned to his home in London.

Although Qin Miao and Qiu Meng didn't care about Zhou Guanyu living at home, Zhou Guanyu also knew the truth to avoid suspicion, Qin Miao was nothing when he was at home, but as soon as Qin Miao left, if Zhou Guanyu still stayed at Qin Miao's house, it would be a little lacking.

As mentioned earlier, during the United States Grand Prix, almost all team drivers travel to the United States in advance to participate in events in order to promote the sport of F1 more actively in the United States.

Or go to an NBA game, be a spectator, or go to a football game, or participate in other marketing activities.

Whatever the event, the main purpose is to increase the popularity of F1 in the United States and to get more people to pay attention to F1.

The main aim is to increase F1's presence in the United States.

It is also to allow more people to come to watch the game on the weekend.

That's why the drivers in the U.S. have to get to work earlier than they do at other times.

After Qin Miao landed in Austin, he was taken to the hotel as soon as possible, and during the time of a short rest, Barber sent Qin Miao the activities that Qin Miao needed to participate in these days before the start of this week's Grand Prix.

There was a dinner for American sponsors on Tuesday night, and Qin Miao and Toto needed to attend.

Seeing this, Qin Miao couldn't help but sigh: "You have to work just after you land?" ”

Barber nodded helplessly: "That's right, the free media group still values the American market very much, and can't wait to open up this blue ocean." ”

Qin Miao nodded in understanding, and then continued to read.

On Wednesday morning, she needs to go to an NBA game, and Qin Miao can go alone or bring her family.

Of course, Qiu Meng is still dealing with her new home in Monaco in this game, so even if she goes to the NBA to watch this game, Qin Miao can only go alone to bring a Barber at most, or pull a button together.

On Wednesday afternoon, there will be an American talk show.

The main reason for listing here is that the other side gives a lot, but it is easy to be ridiculed by people with some things that will make you unhappy when you go to this kind of event, and it is inevitable to feel offended by the other side, so if you don't like it, you can not go.

If you're not on a talk show on Wednesdays, you can visit an orphanage and a dinner party in Austin in the evening.

Thursday returns to a normal rhythm.

In the morning, you will walk the track in the paddock, attend various pre-race meetings, and in the afternoon there will be a basketball game between F1 drivers.

Of course, there is no confrontation, the main thing is to compare free throws, three-pointers, and then dunk or layup or something like that.

In terms of the physicality of an F1 driver, none of this is too difficult.

Of course, although it seems that Qin Miao doesn't want to have any rest time in the next few days, there will basically be a break of about an hour or two in the middle of these activities, and Qin Miao can also take advantage of this break to relax.

After reading the arrangements for herself, Qin Miao crossed the talk show line, ticked the option to visit the orphanage, and then asked casually: "What about Hamilton?" Has he been as busy as I have this week? ”

"Well, he didn't ask the team to arrange any activities, and this week's marketing activities were arranged for him by his own team."

Qin Miao was stunned: "I mean, I'm alone in the team's marketing activities this week?" ”

"Some of the events Toto will also be with you, and Bottas will be coming."

"Okay, but I don't know why, I'm starting to envy Hamilton now......"

In the next few days, Qin Miao also started his work in the United States Grand Prix, as mentioned earlier.

Tired but not tired, most of the time it is even very relaxed, Qin Miao spent half of the time fishing when participating in the activity.

It's just that keeping smiling for a long time made Qin Miao's face a little stiff, but other than that, everything else was fine.

After being busy in the past two days, Qin Miao has gained almost $700,000 in income, which can be regarded as a blessing in disguise.

Then it was Thursday.

On this day, Hamilton also ended his wandering in the American fashion circle and returned to the paddock.

It is worth mentioning that when they came to the paddock in the morning, Qin Miao and Hamilton were the turnstiles that passed together.

At this time, there was a photographer holding a camera in front of the two of them, and he took a picture of the two Mercedes drivers together.

At that time, Qin Miao and Hamilton both spotted each other, and both of them were smiling and nodding to each other.

And in this picture, the biggest difference between the two Mercedes drivers is what they wear.

October was still a bit hot in Austin, with air temperatures reaching 27 degrees Celsius on Thursday morning.

The temperature is about 30 degrees.

Therefore, when Qin Miao came to the paddock, she mainly dressed comfortably.

casually wore a white T-shirt without any pattern or slogan, and the pants were also a simple pair of black cropped pants, in fact, Qin Miao wanted to wear slippers when he went out, but considering that Qin Miao had not run on the Austin track, he had to go to the track for a walk today, so he changed into a pair of sneakers.

Qin Miao's outfit is nothing special, what stands out is a simple and clean outfit that all normal ordinary people will wear.

And the old man is relatively fresh and refined.

On a hot day, he wore a leather denim trench coat with streamers on it, a pair of riding boots with barbed wheels on his feet, and a cowboy hat on his head.

It's completely a western cowboy dress.

Qin Miao is now a little accustomed to Hamilton's maverick dress.

After a simple hello to the old man, Qin Miao went to the home of the team and said hello to his colleagues who he hadn't seen for half a month.

After that, Qin Miao began to work.

Walk the track, have a meeting, look at the impact of the upgrades, and then go to the FIA Drivers' Meeting to determine the course limits for this week's race, which corners will be strict, which corners can be a little more presumptuous, and what areas of the track have been rectified this season.

Once the riders' meeting was over, it was time to shoot a marketing video.

Qin Miao filmed this time with his teammate Hamilton.

This is actually a video of a fan benefit item within Mercedes, so naturally it will also be filmed by two Mercedes drivers.

After confirming that the video began to be recorded, the hostess smiled and said to Hamilton and Qin Miao: "Welcome to this event, today's competition is mainly about the shooting skills of the two drivers.

The rule is that you both stand at the free throw line and shoot free throws to see who drops the most balls. ”

In fact, the rules are very simple, basically anyone who has touched basketball knows how to play.

But it's just a fan-oriented video, and fan-oriented videos aren't meant to show fans how good their favorite drivers are, but rather to see how skilled or clumsy their favorite drivers are when they play basketball.

These are all fun in the eyes of fans.

So this activity doesn't require Qin Miao and Hamilton to be good at playing basketball, even if every ball they throw out is three non-sticky, it doesn't matter, as long as you play seriously.

Qin Miao and Hamilton said that after understanding the rules introduced by the host, they walked to the free throw line one after another.

Hamilton was the first, while Qin Miao was watching happily from the sidelines.

Although Hamilton has never eaten pork, basketball is also a very universal sport, and Hamilton has at least seen pigs run.

After receiving the ball thrown by the staff, Hamilton took the ball in his hand and slapped it twice, then stood still, slammed the ball over his head in a very standard manner, and threw it away.

The action is very beautiful and standard, but unfortunately with a bang, the basketball smashed out of the frame.

The old man smiled helplessly.

"Can it not be counted, this can only be regarded as my warm-up, I am not ready." Hamilton said as he looked at the hostess spreading his hands.

The other party was obviously a fan of Hamilton, and when he heard Hamilton say this, he said regretfully: "I want to help you too, Lewis, but unfortunately I can't." ”

"Okay." Hamilton doesn't really want to regret losing it again, he's just doing it all over the show.

Then the staff threw another ball to the old man.

Hamilton took the basketball and dribbled the ball twice in place, then stood there and adjusted his breathing, and threw the basketball in the direction of the basket.

"Huh!"

Hollow into the net.
