392: The crown prince is my fan? (6K, still owed more than 2/2 yesterday)

Qin Miao's eyes calmly finished singing the national anthem with the singing, waiting for the song she was familiar with After singing, the scene suddenly burst into applause and cheers.

Qin Miao also put away some of her agitated emotions, and smiled at the staff of her own team downstairs.

Then everyone took a group photo on the stage.

Then it's time for the drivers to celebrate.

Qin Miao, as the champion, was drenched in the first time, whether it was Leclerc, Toto, or Sainz, everyone sprinkled wine on Qin Miao's body as soon as possible.

After the celebration was over, Qin Miao was wet from head to foot.

Even Qin Miao felt like champagne had been put in her shoes.

After celebrating, the award ceremony ended, and then Qin Miao and the others went off the stage with their own things.

At the same time, the tournament gave the standings and points of the match:

P1: Qin Miao +26 (fastest lap)

P2: Leclerc +18

P3: Sainz +14

P4: PΓ©rez +12

P5: Verstappen +10

P6: Hamilton +8

P7: Norris +6

P8: Alonso +4

P9: Bottas +2

P10: Vettel +1

Qin Miao's performance in this game is not bad, and the most important thing is that Qin Miao not only won the championship in today's race, but also got the fastest lap.

In fact, logically speaking, with the current speed of Mercedes Racing, it is difficult to get the fastest lap point.

But the whole race can be said to have been taken over by Qin Miao alone, and most of the time he was suppressing all the riders behind him.

As a result, the riders at the back of the pack don't have the time and space to run the fastest lap in any lap.

Although there were drivers in the early stage, with such conditions, they also briefly took away the fastest lap from Qin Miao's hands.

But later, as the fuel capacity of the car decreased, Qin Miao directly drove the train on the track, blocking the roads of everyone behind.

So Qin Miao deservedly took this point in this game.

At the same time, Zhou Guanyu's finishing position in this game is actually not bad, in thirteenth.

Although Zhou Guanyu still failed to score points, he was able to start 19th at the Monte Carlo circuit and finish 13th, which is already a proud achievement.

After all, it's hard to overtake on this track.

I believe that this result is satisfactory for both Zhou Guanyu and Arrow Racing.

At least in terms of Zhou Guanyu's ability and performance so far, his position in the team of Arrow is completely solid.

Under the premise that there are no major changes, the Arrow team will not consider substitutions very much, and I believe that Zhou Guanyu can get at least a two-year contract after the end of this year.

Meanwhile, the overall drivers' standings after this race are as follows:

1: Leclerc.121

2: Qin Miao.114

3: Verstappen.112

4: PΓ©rez.81

5: Sainz.70

6: Hamilton.51

7: Norris.40

8: Ocon.38

9: Bottas.38

10: Magnussen.16

11: Ricardo.8

12: Tsunoda.9

13: Alonso.9

14: Zhou Guanyu.6

15: Vettel.5

16: Gasly.5

17: Stroll.1

18: Albon.1

After this race, because he won the Monaco Grand Prix, Qin Miao's ranking rose from 3rd to 2nd, and Qin Miao was only 7 points away from the first Leclerc.

The reason why Qin Miao can beat Verstappen in this position is mainly because from the beginning of the 2022 season to the present, Qin Miao has not had any problems with the car in the main race stage, and there is no retirement record.

Compared with Verstappen and Leclerc, Qin Miao is better than stable.

If Verstappen and Leclerc have some accidents on the track in the next few races of the season, Qin Miao may not have a chance to return to the drivers' championship.

Of course, that's just a thought.

It is believed that Red Bull and Ferrari will continue to find problems in the course of the race, and will definitely invest more resources in the development of the stability of the car.

Well......

Ferrari may still make mistakes, after all, the corporate culture is like that.

But at least Red Bull will certainly improve the consistency of their cars.

Meanwhile, the constructors' standings are as follows:

1: Red Bull: 193

2: Ferrari: 191

Mercedes 3: 165

4: McLaren: 48

5:Alpine:47

6: Alfa Romeo: 44

7: Haas: 16

8: Little Red Bull: 14

9: Aston Martin: 6

10: Williams: 1

In the overall constructors' standings, Ferrari has further narrowed the gap between the two teams and Red Bull, with the two teams now separated by just two points.

However, the points gap between Mercedes and the two teams in front of it is still huge.

This is also something that cannot be helped, Hamilton is not suitable for the operating logic of the W13.

In fact, Qin Miao also knew that he couldn't be blamed for Hamilton's inability to run this season, Qin Miao was able to quickly adapt to the driving style of this car, mainly because it had a plug-in.

No matter how difficult this car is to drive, Qin Miao can find the right way to drive this car and adapt quickly.

Although Hamilton is a seven-time champion, he is still an ordinary person after all, and his adaptability to racing is not as strong as when he was young.

In any case, the Monaco Grand Prix is now over.

After the race, Qin Miao naturally participated in the team's celebration banquet.

After all, it is the champion of the sub-station competition, and Qin Miao must participate in this party, and there is no reason to refuse.

The Monaco Grand Prix was followed by a short break, followed by the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, two weeks later, which was one of Leclerc's blessings.

I am stupid is now being talked about by fans.

At the same time, the track has also given birth to countless famous scenes, such as team-mates fighting among themselves, kicking Pirelli skeletons, and braking mistakes to rush off the track and lose the championship.

But this was also two weeks later, and after the celebration banquet, Qin Miao went home to rest.

The next day, Qin Miao sighed helplessly after opening her eyes.

Last season, my game was over after it was over, and I had enough time to rest and adjust, but today was different, I had an interview to attend in the morning, and I was informed by Qiu Meng that I had to go to the royal family in Monaco to attend a party in the afternoon and evening.

The interview was conducted by Five Star Sports and CCTV for Qin Miao, and there was no way to refuse this.

After all, one is a five-star sports that has a good relationship with him, and the other is a national media.

Not to mention the other royal dinners, the invitations from the Monaco royal family have been delivered to your doorstep, and they even presented you with an award in person yesterday, so Qin Miao naturally has no reason not to go.

The good news is that Qin Miao doesn't need to go far for these two activities today, it is in Monaco.

Because of this, Qin Miao sighed after getting up.

Qiu Meng on the side hadn't gotten up yet, lying on the bed with her hair scattered on her face a little messy.

Qin Miao tossed her a lot last night, and she collapsed on the bed tired without taking a shower.

Qin Miao didn't wake her up, and after pulling Qiu Meng's hair a little away so as not to affect her breathing, Qin Miao got up and found a short-sleeved casually, brought a Meiben team hat, and then put on a mask and sunglasses, and then said hello to her mother who was drinking tea and reading on the balcony at home and went out.

After all, today is the first day after the Monaco Grand Prix, and there are still many tourists in the local area who have not left, so now Qin Miao still has to disguise himself when he goes out.

In the morning, I accepted an exclusive interview with Zhou Haoran and participated in an interview with CCTV.

After these two projects were completed, Qin Miao said goodbye to the CCTV people, and then took Zhou Haoran to his home for lunch.

After lunch, and after taking some materials at Qin Miao's house, Zhou Haoran took the staff of Five Star Sports back to China.

Qin Miao took a shower in the afternoon, then changed into a suit that she didn't wear often, and then tied a black tie with Qiu Meng's help.

After all, Qin Miao was a guest this time, and Qin Miao's personality was not so flamboyant, so there was no need to dress up too eye-catching.

Originally, Qin Miao also wanted to take Qiu Meng over, but this girl directly refused.

Like Qin Miao, she didn't like that atmosphere very much, not to mention that the invitation sent to Qin Miao this time was only Qin Miao invited herself.

Although it is normal to bring a female companion to this kind of party, no one will find it strange or say anything, and it can even be said to be a standard operation, but Qiu Meng still refused.

Qin Miao didn't force it, because he compared his heart to his heart, if it was himself, he would be more willing to stay at home without stretching his body.

After getting dressed, Qin Miao drove to the Palace of the Prince of Monaco.

In fact, 100 meters further north of this place are the T19 and T18 of the Monte Carlo circuit.

It's only a fifteen-minute walk from Qin Miao's house, but after all, this is a dinner party, and it's not good to walk and talk about it when you attend a dinner party.

So I still chose to drive in front.

And after arriving in this vicinity, Qin Miao could see the track that was being demolished by the construction team, and even Qin Miao saw the staff of the Meiben team who had not left and were still packing their things.

After saying hello to them from afar, Qin Miao went to the gate of the palace.

Coincidentally, when Qin Miao arrived, Leclerc also came.

The relationship between the two is almost the front and back feet.

After parking the car, Qin Miao, who noticed Leclerc, was actually quite happy, after all, in such a relatively unfamiliar environment, if you can have an acquaintance by your side, you will definitely be more relaxed both physically and mentally.

It's just that after Leclerc got out of the car, he walked in front of Qin Miao with a heavy face, and finally patted Qin Miao's shoulder in Qin Miao's inexplicable eyes and said directly: "I'm sorry for yesterday's incident." ”

A big question mark appeared on Qin Miao's head: "You apologize when something happens?" ”

"You don't know yet?"

"Should I know something?"

Leclerc coughed lightly, it was indeed a bit embarrassing to have to explain the incident he had caused now, but Leclerc still stubbornly said: "When I won the podium yesterday, didn't I discuss with you the possibility of letting you come to Ferrari?" ”

Anyway, there were no outsiders at this time, so Qin Miao nodded directly and said, "Yes, I still remember." ”

After finishing speaking, Qin Miao was stunned for a moment, looked at Leclerc with a somewhat embarrassed expression and said, "Wait, don't tell me that this matter has been spread?" ”

Although the reporters in the paddock do not have the ability to take things out of context and the desire to do things like those reporters who entertain and gossip, they will be somewhat unpleasant after this matter is spoken, and they may also suffer a little loss in public opinion and be scolded by others.

Leclerc smiled wryly and nodded, "I think so." ”

"Mom*." After Qin Miao suddenly heard the news, he couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth.

"There is a lot of noise on the Internet about this matter, why don't you know about it?"

Qin Miao was helpless, spread her hands and said: "I was busy with various interviews in the morning, and I didn't have time to read my mobile phone, of course I don't know." ”

"Now that you know, do you have a solution?"

"I'm not a genius, how can I think of a solution in the first place?" Qin Miao complained a little irritably, and then calmed down a little before saying, "You tell me first, what is being discussed in the paddock is that everyone thinks I'm going to Ferrari, or is it just that the content of our conversation is known."

You knew you invited me, but I declined. ”

"The former."

Qin Miao sighed and wanted to scratch her head, but thinking that her hairstyle had been specially taken care of by Qiu Meng, she had no choice but to put her hand down.

"You go in first, I'll give Toto a call."

"Are you sure you want to do this? Don't you discuss it with Qiu Meng? After all, this incident broke out accidentally, and I think it should still have a certain value for you, such as finding a team and asking them to help you raise your salary, improve your treatment, and so on. ”

Qin Miao thought about it and felt that Leclerc's words made sense.

At the same time, the news that Qin Miao was about to join Ferrari also circulated in the paddock, and many relevant media rushed to report and speculate on the authenticity of this matter.

Naturally, the news was delivered to Toto Wolf's desk for the first time.

Looking at this report, Toto rubbed his eyebrows a little painfully, he just returned to the UK yesterday, and the stool in the office chair was not hot, why did he encounter this?

But Qin Miao is the future star of his team after all, and Toto will definitely not let the rumors go at this time.

And with Qin Miao's performance of almost carrying the team this season, Toto felt that it was time to improve Qin Miao's status in the team.

Although it can't be said that he directly kicked Hamilton away and let the prince who is jokingly called by the outside world take the throne, Toto knew that he needed to calm the emotions of the fans, the team and the drivers.

"Work is always busy......"

With a sigh of emotion, Toto took out the phone and got to work.

On the other side, after chatting with Qiu Meng, Qin Miao returned to the door of the Monaco Palace.

To Qin Miao's surprise, he and Qiu Meng talked on the phone for about 10 minutes, but Leclerc did not go in, but waited at the door.

"Why don't you go in?" After Qin Miao came to Leclerc's side, she asked curiously.

"Waiting for you." Leclerc said.

"Alright, let's go in together." Qin Miao nodded.

"What's going on over there in Qiumeng?" Leclerc asked as he walked.

"What else can I do, she said she knew, and then told me some precautions before hanging up."

"Looks like the girl already has an idea."

"How do you know?"

"Guess." Leclerc smiled.

Qin Miao didn't delve into it, and soon the two of them entered the venue.

After all, he is a public figure, and Monaco is not coveted for geopolitical reasons.

So this kind of banquet is not strictly checked, and the two of them didn't even take out the invitation, and went in directly by brushing their faces.

During the dinner, it was natural to push the cup and change the lamp, and Qin Miao was really not suitable for such an environment, so compared with Leclerc, who was at ease, Qin Miao was more like an outsider.

More often than not, some local businessmen in Monaco came over and took the initiative to chat with Qin Miao, and then exchanged phone numbers to discuss the possibility of cooperation.

The clock was fast approaching evening.

The Monaco royal family, whom I saw last night, is back in front of everyone's attention.

After the applause, the host family also joined the party.

Because Qin Miao's corner is relatively inconspicuous.

Moreover, the person who was interested in cooperating with Qin Miao and befriending him had already seen Qin Miao almost as well as Qin Miao in the afternoon.

Now Qin Miao's suit pocket also has seven or eight more cards in it, all kinds of business cards.

So at this moment, Qin Miao was also rarely quiet.

Soon, however, Albert II of Monaco came with Prince Jacques.

Seeing that they were coming towards him, Qin Miao hurriedly wiped the food residues and the corners of his mouth left on his hands when he had just eaten with a wet towel on the side, and greeted him with a smile.

"Thank you Qin Miao for coming to our dinner, I noticed at the beginning, you didn't communicate with the guests much, is there anything that makes you not used to it?" Albert II asked after shaking Qin Miao's hand with a smile.

Qin Miao smiled awkwardly: "No, it's very good here, and this dinner is also great, but Your Majesty the Prince, you know, I'm not very good at socializing, Sky Sports even has statistics, I am the driver with the least advertising and endorsement among all active F1 drivers, so when I'm not driving, I still prefer to stay in a quiet environment and do what I like to do." ”

"Of course, I understand very well, the main reason for coming here this time is that this little guy wants to get to know you." As he spoke, Albert II looked at Prince Jacques, who was holding him.

Qin Miao looked at the little prince with some surprise.

Just like on the podium, Qin Miao half-squatted down to look at Prince Jacques before stretching out his hand.

"Your Royal Highness, it's a pleasure to see you again, I think we've already met."

However, Qin Miao felt that when the little prince looked at him, he still had the apprehension of looking at him when he was presenting the award yesterday.

Of course, he still stretched out his hand and shook it with Qin Miao, and then said to Qin Miao with the appearance of a little adult: "That time it can only be said that we have met, and it is not a formal understanding." ”

After finishing speaking, Prince Jacques said solemnly to Qin Miao: "I am Jacques HonorΓ© Rainier, from Monaco, and I am the prince of this country, and I am very happy to meet you." ”

Looking at a milky child holding your hand solemnly and introducing himself to you, Qin Miao couldn't help but want to laugh.

But he still froze, and said equally seriously: "I'm Qin Miao, from China, and I am currently the defending world champion of the Formula 1 Grand Prix, but I feel that my position and title will soon be taken away by Verstappen or Leclerc or the like." ”

"No, I believe in your quality, you can definitely defend your title with a huge performance gap in the car."

Qin Miao blinked a little unexpectedly, how could this little guy have the light in his eyes when he looked at him?

Albert II interjected at the right time to explain: "Actually, Jacques has always liked you, he has been watching your race since your first race in F1, and even if he doesn't have time, he will watch the replay of your race." ”

Qin Miao was even more surprised: "Really? ”

Albert II nodded and said, "That's right, and Jacques wanted to come and see you after he knew that you settled in Monaco, but you know, the epidemic was more serious at that time, so we persuaded you to come down." ”

The expression on Qin Miao's face was unexpectedly a little surprised, and at the same time, there was a little pride.

After all, the crown prince of a country is his own fan, and he will have face when he says this.

Looking at the little prince, Qin Miao smiled and said, "It's my honor to make you like it, Your Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Jacques nodded and said, "Can you sign me then?" I want to hang in my study. ”

"Of course no problem, I still have the helmet I used last year at home, do you want it? It's a helmet for qualifying for the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, and I can give it to you directly. ”

As a fan of Qin Miao, Jacques knew that Qin Miao was crowned at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, and the helmet in the natural qualifying stage was also of great significance, especially this helmet was personally worn by Qin Miao.

But the little guy still has a tutor after all, and after hearing Qin Miao's words, although his eyes were already shining with golden light, he still turned his head to look at his father.

Roughly speaking, can I take this helmet? I really want to! Please!

Albert II asked, "Wouldn't it be too precious?" ”

"No matter how expensive the helmet is, I won't use it again, and the sponsor will deduct my sponsorship fee." Qin Miao made a joke.

Then Qin Miao said: "And this helmet is here with me, and it may always be placed in the display case, I think it is more meaningful to give it to a fan who really likes me than this." ”

Speaking of this, Qin Miao looked at Jacques: "You'll keep it well, right?" ”

Prince Jacques nodded vigorously: "Yes, I will, if I can, and even hope that I will be able to bring this helmet to the competition in the future." ”

Qin Miao was stunned when she heard this, although she had been abroad for a while, she could be regarded as accustomed to life abroad, and even completely adapted to life abroad.

However, in terms of children's growth planning, Qin Miao still tends to plan their growth more prudently.

So in Qin Miao's thoughts, he didn't think about the idea of letting a child learn to drive a car from an early age, after all, Qin Miao drove a car, and he knew how dangerous this sport was.

It's just that when Qin Miao looked at Albert II, the other party smiled and nodded, his face full of pride and longing. (End of chapter)
