294: Arthur Leclerc (6K, plus 13/20)
Soon, dinner was ready, and Qin Miao heard Qiu Meng say, "It's time to eat." After that, he got up from the couch and ran over to serve the food.
During the meal, it was really like what Leclerc said, Leclerc's mother was very interested in Qin Miao, and chatted with Qin Miao a lot.
After dinner, he also took Qin Miao and took a lot of photos together.
stayed at Leclerc's house until about nine o'clock in the evening, and when she went out, Qin Miao felt that her face was going to stiffen with a smile.
But now it's finally over, politely declined Pascal's retention, said goodbye to the Leclerc family, Qin Miao took Qiu Meng's hand and strolled through the streets of Monaco towards the hotel where he stayed.
These two people don't have a car in Monaco, and they don't plan to call a taxi, and Monaco is not big, and it is only more than ten minutes away to walk back to the hotel in Qiumengding.
The most important thing is that since entering F2, Qin Miao and Qiu Meng have not had many opportunities to go out for a walk together at night for various reasons.
Not to mention that Qin Miao himself loves to play, F2 Even if Qiu Meng called him at that time, he was not willing to come out.
Not to mention after entering F1, Qin Miao lives in the UK again, and is still at the door of the Mercedes team, and it is not an exaggeration to say that eleven out of ten people have seen F1 when they go out in that place.
Monaco doesn't have that many concerns.
This place is because the people who live in it are basically rich people, and in addition to the rich people, they are locals.
They have seen a lot of celebrities or something, even if they see Qin Miao, they will say hello from a distance at most, and no one will take the initiative to come over and ask for a photo with Qin Miao or something.
And it is illegal for Monaco to take photos of others with a mobile phone, so Qin Miao doesn't have to worry about Qiu Meng being overexposed here.
The two of them can naturally walk on the road holding hands openly, without worrying about being disturbed.
After returning to the hotel, Qin Miao slept comfortably.
After getting up refreshed the next day, I naturally went to see my new house with Qiu Meng for the first time.
After more than half a month of preparation, the style of the new house has been determined and the decoration has begun.
After looking at the house, Qin Miao went to the city hall of Monaco again and began to go through the process of applying for the right of residence in Monaco.
Originally, Qin Miao had been mentally prepared that this process would not be too fast, after all, in Qin Miao's opinion, the government process of all countries is the same.
It can't be said that life is like a year, but it can also be called dereliction of duty.
Unexpectedly, the government department of Monaco arranged a commissioner for Qin Miao on the same day to start handling Qin Miao's various procedures.
Then Qin Miao's residency was finalized on the same day.
To be honest, this speed was so fast that both Qin Miao and Qiu Meng were a little surprised.
But the end result is enough for the two of them.
In fact, the main reason is that the amount of savings in Qin Miao's name is sufficient, and he has real estate in Monaco, and the most important thing is because of Qin Miao's identity as an F1 driver.
So when facing Qin Miao, the staff of the Monaco City Hall also brought a certain subjective will, and secretly gave Qin Miao a lot of green lights.
But after all, it is still a government department, so even though all the formalities have been completed, Qin Miao will need to get his residence permit in Monaco after 5 working days.
But from today on, Qin Miao doesn't need to pay taxes to those Brits.
The bonuses and wages paid by the team, Qin Miao can get as much as he wants.
Comfortable!
After completing these things, Qin Miao stayed in Monaco for another day.
On this day, Qin Miao did not stay at home to play games as he usually did, but went out to visit the door.
After all, Norris, who has a good relationship with Qin Miao, also has a house in Monaco, and he happened to be in Monaco this week and did not return to the UK.
After making a phone call, Qin Miao rode a bicycle borrowed from Leclerc to Norris's house.
Although Qin Miao's new home does have two parking spaces, Qin Miao's car is still in the UK and has not been driven, so Qin Miao rode a bicycle borrowed from Leclerc to Norris's house.
It took less than 15 minutes on the road, and most of the time Qin Miao used to stop and look at the navigation.
After arriving at Norris's house, Qin Miao could clearly find that Norris was not in a good mood.
It's not hard to guess why, compared to McLaren at the beginning of the season, the more competitive McLaren becomes at the end of the season.
In the last few games, it has been difficult to even get into the top six.
It's as if the rain at the Russian Grand Prix not only gave Norris a heavy blow, but also gave McLaren a big mouth, which sucked away the breath in McLaren's heart, so after that race, the whole McLaren seemed to be a little sluggish.
In such an environment, it is inevitable that Norris will not be in a good mood.
However, after seeing Qin Miao and knowing that Qin Miao had also moved to Monaco, Norris still had some heartfelt happy smiles on his face.
At least during the rest time on weekdays, he has a lot more opportunities to find Qin Miao to get together, and if he has nothing to do, he can also find Qin Miao offline to play games together, go out to sea to catch a fish, etc.
On the third day after the end of the American Grand Prix, Qin Miao finally left Monaco and returned to the United Kingdom.
Qin Miao's house is still kept, after all, Qin Miao and Qiu Meng have lived in this house for so long, and they have some feelings for this place.
The most important thing is that if Qin Miao needs to go to work in the team, if he is busy late, after coming out of the team factory, he will definitely not have time to return to Monaco, and it is good to have a familiar place for Qin Miao to sleep and rest.
It is worth mentioning that the first thing Qin Miao did after returning home was to find someone to send his two sports cars back to Monaco.
In the UK, there is only one motorhome for transportation.
This week, Qin Miao's work in the team is still focused on the development of the ground effect car for next season, but in addition, the team also gave the design of the car for the special edition of the Mexican Grand Prix.
There were not many improvements in this set of design drawings, and the weight of the car was increased by 15KG, and the weight of this 15KG car was mainly focused on the heat dissipation system of the racing car.
After all, the next Mexico City Grand Prix is a bit too high compared to the other tracks, and the altitude of 2240 meters brings a thinner air density, which naturally brings more challenges to the heat dissipation efficiency of the car.
If you want to increase the heat dissipation efficiency of your racing car, you naturally need to replace the heat sink with better results, or increase the size of the heat sink.
Meiben's plan for Mexico City's radiator data modification plan is to expand the air intake of the side box, and at the same time increase the air flow into the inlet fins at the air inlet position, and at the same time increase the volume of the radiator and expand the amount of airflow through, so as to increase the heat dissipation efficiency, at the cost of a significant increase in the weight of the car.
It's not a particularly good improvement, but it's a good idea to come up with a solution with limited resources, and it's a waste of resources to make it too good.
Qin Miao naturally helped with the test for a while, and also exchanged his thoughts with Bottas during the test.
The results were encouraging, and after the two drivers convinced them, the manufacturing department on the Mercedes team began to work intensively to produce parts for the Mexican Grand Prix.
It is worth mentioning that because he has determined where he will go next season, Bottas at this time seems to be a lot more relaxed, and when he sees Qin Miao, he no longer has a stinky face, and he looks bitter and hateful.
The relationship with Qin Miao quickly warmed up.
When he met Qin Miao at the team factory this week, Bottas even sent Qin Miao an artistic photo of his bare buttocks.
To be honest, Qin Miao really couldn't appreciate this thing, but he couldn't refuse Bottas's kindness.
After all, in the eyes of these foreigners, this may really be a more precious gift.
So Qin Miao could only accept Bottas's kindness with mixed feelings, but when Qin Miao took the photo home, looking at his home, Qin Miao really didn't know where to put this thing for a while.
I feel a little unlucky everywhere.
In the end, he chose to hang it in his honor room.
On the one hand, Qin Miao usually doesn't go to the honor room of his own home, and on the other hand, after snatching Bottas's driver's position in Mercedes, he can still receive a gift from Bottas, which can be regarded as a different kind of honor.
Back to the point, after determining the improvement plan for the car radiator of the Mexican Grand Prix, Qin Miao began to work on the simulator for next season's car.
At the same time, Qin Miao has also improved his various attributes a lot during this time.
Host Name: Qin Miao
Age: 20
Overall rating: 92.3→92.9
Stamina: 99
Mentality: 94→95
Stability: 97
Ranked ability: 95→96
Starting capacity: 88→89
Long distance: 94
Tire Capacity: 81→84
Rain Combat ability: 83→82
Attack ability: 92→93
Defensive ability: 100
These improvements were all made by Qin Miao without using any system props, running races and running simulators by himself, and grew up naturally.
Of course, there is also bad news here, that is, after Qin Miao finds that he has exceeded the upper limit of his talent, his attribute points will drop after a while, and Qin Miao's rain battle ability has dropped from 83 to 82, and Qin Miao has a hunch.
The decline in Rain Combat ability will continue, and eventually the straightaway score will return to 80 points.
Qin Miao could only reluctantly accept his fate.
At the same time, the team's rating has also risen, but there is a big gap between the team's rating and Qin Miao's personal ability.
Team: Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team
Team Overall Rating: 84.7→85.1
Racing Problem Detection Ability: 81
Simulator development capability: 80→82
Racing capacity: 89
Ability to strategize: 87
Racing Protection: 75
Tire change capacity: 90
Power Sector Capacity: 94
Aerodynamics Department Capacity: 86
Chassis Sector Research Capacity: 85
Durability development capability: 81→83
Looking at the data of the team's improvement, Qin Miao felt that only the durability was improved by the team itself, and the development ability of the simulator was completely piled up by himself and Bottas who ran out day and night during this time.
However, it is always good to improve, which means that the team can provide Qin Miao with a stronger car next season.
Of course, because Qin Miao moved, Qin Miao naturally didn't have so much time to devote to work.
After a busy day in the convoy, Qin Miao returned to Monaco.
And from the time she returned to Monaco until she needed to go to the track on Thursday to prepare, Qin Miao did not receive any more calls from Toto.
When she was still living in Brackley, Qin Miao had to go to the factory three days of the week, and during this time, Qin Miao's routine was the same as that of a normal worker, going to the factory at 9 a.m. and leaving work at 5 p.m.
Many people may say that Qin Miao's working hours are not comfortable?
But you know, this is only a time to go to work in the team factory to help run data, not the race day.
Qin Miao usually has to go to the track on Thursday to prepare, walk the track, shoot videos, interviews and the like.
On Friday, he started the work of the competition day again, and he didn't have a rest on Saturday and Sunday, so at the end of the week, Qin Miao only had one day of free time.
And now that Brackley is gone, Toto naturally has no reason to "stop by and help run some data".
Anyway, there is a Bottas working in the team factory, so he simply won't be called Qin Miao.
Qin Miao: This is also the first time to officially experience the normal weekend life of an F1 driver.
From Monday to Wednesday, you can do whatever you want, without mandatory overtime and without facing mountains of simulator data.
Other drivers, like Hamilton, use this time to participate in business events and catwalks to increase their visibility.
Or use your popularity to monetize and make money.
But after Qin Miao had such free time, the first thing she felt was that she was uncomfortable, she felt empty in her heart, as if she had something unfinished all along, and her heart was not steady.
However, by the next day, Qin Miao got used to this rhythm of life, and called the former Toto inappropriate person and bullied himself as an honest person.
Although the frequent simulator practice for almost a year has added a lot of strength and experience to Qin Miao, his proficiency in the track and racing has also improved by leaps and bounds, and he has caught up with Hamilton in a short period of time......
Of course, although Qin Miao no longer had the heavy work of the team to be busy at this time, Qin Miao did not forget his daily training.
Compared to when he lived in Brackley, Qin Miao just had more time to play games.
Life hasn't changed much.
If you don't count the summer break, this is actually the first time Qin Miao has given herself a small long vacation after entering F1, and she doesn't have to set an alarm clock to get up every day, and she has to rush to the team when the time is up.
However, this kind of leisurely day has not passed two days for Qin Miao.
On Wednesday, Leclerc called Qin Miao early in the morning.
Qin Miao, who was woken up by the sound of the phone, put the phone to her ear in a daze: "Hey? ”
"Did you get up? Went to Mexico. ”
After hearing the voice on the phone, Qin Miao took the phone away from his ear with a confused face, and only after seeing that the caller was Leclerc put the phone back on his ear and asked, "If you go to Mexico, why are you calling me?" I'm not your father, so I won't send you. ”
"Get out!" Leclerc's scolding came from the other end of the phone: "What time did you play the game last night?" ”
"It's past 3 o'clock, I don't go to work today anyway." Qin Miao buried her head in the pillow again.
Leclerc was also a little speechless: "Big brother, you are a professional F1 driver, you think you can run in F1 for a few years by ruining your body so much?" With your talent, it is possible to challenge Hamilton, Michael Schumacher and their place in history, and you are just ruining your body and talent? ”
"Don't read it, don't read it." Qin Miao complained: "I was playing last night, I didn't pay attention to the time, and this is the first time I have slept so late since I became a professional driver, so I was caught by you...... It's really bad ......."
Leclerc was also a little speechless, and said helplessly after snorting: "Anyway, you pay attention, staying up late really hurts your body."
Back to business, I went to Mexico today, came to my house at 10 a.m., and I took you with me, saving you the trouble of connecting flights, and refunded if you booked the ticket. ”
Qin Miao got up from the bed a little helplessly, and after chatting for a while, he didn't feel sleepy.
And when she got up at this time, Qin Miao didn't feel any discomfort in her body.
Stretched out his hand and scratched his hair before he asked curiously: "No one knows about my return to Monaco, I remember that I arrived in Monaco by car." ”
"Buddy, locals, there are more or less special channels that you don't know about."
Qin Miao pursed her lips, it is estimated that someone saw her, and then sent it to the group where Monaco locals or Monaco locals have it, and then the whole Monaco knew that she was here.
However, Qin Miao is indeed preparing to go to Mexico today, after all, Qin Miao can also make up for sleep when she is in a hurry, and by the way, she adjusted the jet lag on the way in the past.
Moreover, Mexico is a high-altitude track, and passing a day earlier also helps Qin Miao adapt to the competition environment in Mexico in advance.
It's just that he was originally going to fly over by himself, and since Leclerc was willing to let him rub it, then Qin Miao would rub it by the way.
"Okay, I'll pack up my things and I'll look for you at your house when the time comes."
"Okay, just come in the door, my brother Arthur is back today." Leclerc said, "He really wants to see you." ”
"He's back? How about the gift prepared for him, does he like it? ”
"Of course, now that porcelain is placed in the most conspicuous position in his study, and I won't let me touch it."
"If you like it, I'll pack my things first, and I'll see you later." Qin Miao got up after saying a word.
……
Mercedes is likely to be crowned the team's eighth champion at the Mexican Grand Prix, and it will certainly be another celebration at that time.
And at such a critical moment, even if Qiu Meng still has a lot of things to deal with on Monaco's side, she is ready to participate with Qin Miao.
Such a rare moment, it is natural to witness it with your lover is the happiest.
After packing up their things, Qin Miao and Qiu Meng arrived at Leclerc's door before half past nine.
Although it was said that they would leave at 10 o'clock, Qin Miao and Qiu Meng habitually went a little earlier no matter what they did.
When Qin Miao arrived at the door of Leclerc's house, he saw a young man squatting at the door of Leclerc's house, holding a mobile phone in his hand and playing with his head down.
I didn't notice the arrival of Qin Miao and Qiu Meng at all.
However, after Qin Miao and Qiu Meng got out of the car, the other party found out that someone had come to their door.
When I looked up, I saw Qin Miao who got down from the driver's seat and was taking luggage in the trunk of the taxi.
"Qin! Oh my god, I've finally met you, I'm not ready for why you're here so early. ”
Looking at the young man standing in front of him, who was so excited that he wanted to reach out and shake it with him, but was worried about being presumptuous, Qin Miao also felt a little strange.
Looking at the other party's face, this should be Leclerc's younger brother Arthur Leclerc.
Strictly speaking, Arthur's age is older than Qin Miao.
But Arthur at this time looked exactly the same as the fans Qin Miao had seen who saw him for the first time.
Coupled with his identity, Qin Miao was a little confused for a while.
Because in his stereotype, someone from a background like Arthur should not behave like this after seeing him.
But after all, the other party is Leclerc's younger brother, and even if the other party does not have such an identity, as an F1 driver, when he sees fans coming towards him enthusiastically and is a little incoherent.
Most drivers will subconsciously interact with each other in the past to relieve each other's nervousness.
I don't dare to say much about this operation, but at least you can have one more fan who likes you for a long time.
So Qin Miao smiled and took the initiative to shake Arthur's hand: "If I'm not mistaken, you should be Leclerc's brother Arthur, right?" Nice to see you. ”
Arthur grabbed Qin Miao's hand tightly and said very excitedly: "That's right, yes, I'm Arthur, welcome to my house as a guest!" ”
"I've watched every single race you had in F2 and F1, every race you had on the grid and every time you scored, and I remember that you were so strong that you dominated the whole F2 season! The FIA even changed the rules of F2 because of you! You're just amazing! ”
To be honest, Qin Miao has been praised many times, but being praised like this in front of Leclerc's younger brother, Qin Miao still blushes a little.
And Qin Miao originally thought that Arthur liked him because of his performance in F1, but from the other party's words, it was obvious that his dominant performance in F2 made him more interested.
However, this is not surprising, after all, Arthur is a driver himself, and he knows that compared to F1, all drivers in F2 use standardized cars, and it is indeed worthy of praise to be able to achieve such a terrifying result in such an environment.
"Thanks for liking, you're still driving F3, right?"
"Yes, I'm playing for Prema in F3 now."
Qin Miao nodded, because of Leclerc's relationship, it is inevitable for Arthur to enter the Ferrari Academy, and the Prema team and the Ferrari Academy have an inexplicable relationship, Qin Miao also entered Prema because of the Ferrari Academy's relationship at that time, so Arthur played for his old club in F3 Qin Miao didn't feel any surprise.
