The post-race interview and the award acceptance link will not be repeated here, Qin Miao stood alone on the stage when he received the award after the race, and the two Red Bull drivers did not interact with Qin Miao much.

After all, Qin Miao was disgusted on the track just now, and it is understandable that Qin Miao and the drivers of the Red Bull team couldn't get along last season, after all, Qin Miao was competing with the drivers of the Red Bull Racing Team for the world championship at that time.

But this season, Qin Miao's behavior on the track really made Red Bull people a little confused.

One of the most puzzling is Verstappen.

After all, Qin Miao's speed this season is only about 0.5 seconds slower than Perez's average lap, and with such a time gap, it is understandable for Qin Miao to defend Perez, after all, to a certain extent, Qin Miao can take Pérez in the arena, and Qin Miao will not have too much pressure to defend Pérez.

Although he didn't want to admit it, Verstappen was convinced that Qin Miao could prevent Pérez.

And putting aside Pérez, compared to himself, Qin Miao's lap speed is 1 second slower than himself, you said that your cars this season are so lazy, what are you competing with me on the field?

To put it mildly, we're not even competitors anymore.

I don't deny that you're defensively strong, but there's always a way for me to overtake you, and there's no way to limit me after that.

You're doing this completely thankless, isn't it?

Why are you so concerned about things that harm others and yourself?

It's just that Verstappen would never have thought that Qin Miao would defend him on the field in this game, mainly because Qin Miao on the track felt a little bored.

As we all know, people can do anything outrageous when they are bored.

Most of the outrageous things in Florida are done when those people are bored.

After the photo session after the game, Qin Miao stepped down from the stage with his own things.

Back at the home of the team, Qin Miao was naturally surrounded by everyone and began to praise, after all, Qin Miao's performance in today's game was really good.

It can be said that in this game, Qin Miao completely relied on her own strength to bring W13 to a height that did not belong to her, so everyone will naturally be very happy.

Toto patted Qin Miao's shoulder very hard and said in public: "Qin Miao, I have been glad that I signed you countless times, but you always make me feel that this is already your limit again and again, break through my imagination of you, and prove that my decision at that time was correct." ”

The smile on Toto's face never faded when he said this.

Qin Miao naturally replied very modestly: "Toto, I will see this when I say this, I was actually a little confused at that time, I don't know where the road ahead is, you can give me this opportunity, in fact, the person who should really feel fortunate is me, without the platform of Mercedes-Benz, how can I have the opportunity to cash out all my talents?" ”

For Qin Miao's modesty all the time, everyone in the Meiben team is basically used to it, after all, they have been together for so long.

However, Qin Miao's hospitality and way of doing things, which is different from most people in Europe and the United States, also made him full of favorability on the side of the team.

At least when the team staff mentions Qin Miao in private, everyone will give a thumbs up and say: "Qin Miao, this driver is talented, and at the same time, he is also a very easy person to get along with, not arrogant or impatient." ”

All in all, despite the fact that Mercedes did not win the race today.

However, there was still a celebration banquet within the Mercedes team that was no less than the level of winning the championship of the sub-race.

And this is the end of the 2022 Spanish Grand Prix season.

The standings and scores of this match are as follows:

P1: Verstappen +25

P2: Qin Miao +18

P3: Pérez +15 (fastest lap)

P4: Sainz +12

P5: Hamilton +10

P6: Bottas +8

P7: Ocon +6

P8: Norris +4

P9: Alonso +2

P10: Yuki Tsunoda +1

It was obvious that Perez in this game had done his best behind Qin Miao, and even brushed the fastest lap in the whole field when chasing Qin Miao, but despite this, Qin Miao still completed today's race in front of Perez.

It is worth mentioning that after Pérez returned to the team's P room, he originally thought that Marco would make some critical conclusions about his performance in today's race, but what he didn't expect was that the team did not mention this matter directly in the Red Bull post-race meeting.

In fact, Red Bull also knows that Pérez's only third place in today's game is not a problem of Pérez's personal ability, but purely because the opponent is too strong.

As a result, they couldn't find much reason to blame Pérez, who couldn't have asked for more than a second to lock up Verstappen for a lap gap of more than a second.

The overall drivers' standings are as follows:

1: Leclerc.103

2: Verstappen.102

3: Qin Miao.88

4: Pérez.69

5: Sainz.56

6: Hamilton.43

7: Ocon.38

8: Bottas.36

9: Norris.34

10: Magnussen.16

11: Ricardo.8

12: Tsunoda.9

13: Zhou Guanyu.6

14: Gasly.5

15: Alonso.5

16: Vettel.4

17: Stroll.1

18: Albon.1

The constructors' standings are as follows:

1: Red Bull: 171

2: Ferrari: 159

Mercedes 3: 131

4:Alpine:43

5: McLaren: 42

6: Alfa Romeo: 42

7: Haas: 16

8: Little Red Bull: 14

9: Aston Martin: 5

10: Williams: 1

In terms of the constructors' championship, because of Leclerc's retirement in this race, and Red Bull Racing came back with first and third places, plus a fastest lap, a full 40 points, Red Bull Racing overtook Ferrari to the top of the constructors' standings.

After the game, Qin Miao only stayed in Spain for one night, and flew back to France the next day.

It wasn't going to be too comfortable for the riders, as it was the first back-to-back race week of the 2022 season.

And for Qin Miao and Leclerc, this is not bad news, because next week's competition will be held in Monaco.

Monaco is also small, and for these drivers who live in Monaco, this race is the equivalent of a race on their doorstep.

So much so that for Qin Miao, who didn't have a very good impression of the Monaco track, the Monte Carlo circuit also became beautiful.

However, because Qin Miao and Leclerc's homes are not near the track, and even because of the angle, they can't see the track at Leclerc's house.

Although Qin Miao's terrain is high, the location is not particularly good, so he can only barely see the section of the track at the Monaco pier.

When you play, don't think about watching it at home, you can only go to the scene.

However, being able to sleep in a familiar bed at home during Grand Prix is already rare for an F1 driver who spends two-thirds of the year running around the world.

And because of the team's internal review this week, Qin Miao doesn't have to go to the team factory.

It's so comfortable.

So Qin Miao was in a very good mood on the way back to Monaco.

After the plane landed, Qin Miao woke up Zhou Guanyu: "Don't sleep, it's time to get there." ”

Zhou Guanyu, who was in a daze, took off the blindfold on his eyes, squinted and looked around, and then asked Qin Miao, "What time is it?" ”

“9:22。” Qin Miao replied after glancing at her phone.

Zhou Guanyu nodded, then got up from the chair and stretched: "It's still comfortable for you rich people, and you can sleep on a long trip." ”

Qin Miao rolled her eyes angrily: "It's as if you are poorer than me." ”

Zhou Guanyu instantly became energetic: "Am I richer than you?" It's a private jet, it's a local high-rise mansion in Monaco, what point can I compare to you? ”

Qin Miao smiled slightly: "My luck can't compare to you." ”

Zhou Guanyu: Convex (艹艹)

"Hahaha." Laughing for a while, then Qin Miao waved his hand and said, "Okay, pack up your things, it's time for a while." ”

Zhou Guanyu nodded, turned around and went to get his luggage.

Qin Miao said hello to the crew members of his plane and got off the plane with his things.

After getting off the plane, the two got on the airport shuttle bus, went to the helipad, and then got on Leclerc's helicopter.

Qin Miao did have the idea of buying a helicopter, but considering that Leclerc happened to have a helicopter.

And the helicopter is also usually used to travel between the airport and Monaco.

Even Qin Miao just made a phone call to Leclerc's helicopter captain, and the other party could fly over to pick him up.

Qin Miao simply shelved the plan to buy a helicopter for the time being, and will use Leclerc's helicopter first.

As for the fuel money for helicopters or something...... Dude, Leclerc wouldn't care about that.

The plane took off and landed, and after coming out of the airport, Qin Miao and Zhou Guanyu still walked home with their own things.

While on the road, Qin Miao and Zhou Guanyu saw that a parapet had begun to be built around the Monte Carlo circuit in Monaco.

Although there are still cars on the road at this time, many of the equipment that will only be used during the race has already been installed.

Even when Qin Miao passed by the P room area of the team, he could already see the staff wearing the team uniform busy in the paddock.

Instead of disturbing the work of the team staff, the two chose to go home first.

However, on the way home, Qin Miao was still recognized by fans who came to Monaco to watch the game and traveled by the way.

Under normal circumstances, even if he was recognized by passers-by, the other party would at most stare at Qin Miao from a distance for a while, but today was obviously different.

Because of the upcoming Monaco Grand Prix, Monaco has a lot of tourists who come to watch the races.

Therefore, many people came up directly to Qin Miao to ask for autographs and group photos.

Despite the rush home, there is no way, the fans are the foundation of the F1 team and the drivers, without whom it is basically impossible for a team to get more sponsorship.

And even if it is not for the sake of the team, but also for the sake of their own reputation, Qin Miao and Zhou Guanyu can only stop their steps and take photos and sign autographs with these fans.

However, Qin Miao still has to know more about these people after all, so Qin Miao took the fans to an area where outsiders basically don't come much before taking a group photo.

This is mainly to avoid waiting for someone to see someone gathering here, and when they come to see the excitement, they find that it is Qin Miao, and then more and more people gather, so that he and Zhou Guanyu are directly blocked here and have no way to go home.

However, despite their preparations, Qin Miao and Zhou Guanyu were still blocked here for almost an hour before leaving.

After leaving this group of enthusiastic fans, Qin Miao and Zhou Guanyu glanced at each other on the way home, and then both silently chose to wear their masks.

"Tsk, it has to be you, the world championship is so awesome, there are fans who know you wherever you go." On the way home, Zhou Guanyu hadn't forgotten a few words about Qin Miao, who was weird and yin on the side.

The reason why Zhou Guanyu said this is because when fans saw the two of them, the first thing they shouted was not Zhou Guanyu's name, but Qin Miao.

Qin Miao raised her eyebrows: "What's the matter, envy?" ”

Originally, when he asked this question, Qin Miao thought that Zhou Guanyu would continue to be stubborn.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Guanyu said with some melancholy: "Who doesn't want to become a world champion?

It's a pity that I may never touch that position in my life. ”

Qin Miao asked with some confusion, "Why do you have this idea?" ”

"Huh?" Zhou Guanyu obviously didn't understand the meaning of Qin Miao's words.

"You should already know before you enter F1, after you get to F1, it's not about the driver's personal ability, it's mainly about whether the team is giving you a strong car."

Normally, there is nothing wrong with Qin Miao's words, because this is the truth in the F1 paddock.

But after Zhou Guanyu heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched.

Don't look at the individual abilities of the drivers?

You don't know what you did to Pérez in that game in Spain, and he didn't have a smile on his face when he took the podium.

Although Qin Miao's words are undeniable, before entering F1, Zhou Guanyu thought that the driver's ability was the main reason for determining the driver's performance on the track.

But in reality? Qin Miaoqiang, right? He won the podium in the first game of his career, and locked Verstappen in that game, although Qin Miao's defense of Verstappen in that game was not the key to Hamilton's victory over Verstappen, but at least it also laid a solid foundation for Hamilton's victory.

And what about Hamilton? His strength is beyond doubt, and the title of seven-time champion is currently only he and Michael Schumacher in the history of F1.

And it is the existence of the talent ceiling level among the two F1 drivers, Qin Miao and Hamilton, who have been suppressed by Ferrari and Red Bull this season and can't raise their heads at all.

Qin Miao's podium this season was won by relying on his anti-heaven level tire protection ability.

But Hamilton hasn't even finished on the podium this season, isn't that a sign of his individual ability? (End of chapter)
