437: Italian Grand Prix

said that Cao Cao Cao arrived, in fact, this Cao Cao will definitely arrive.

While the two were talking, Verstappen came up from downstairs.

Although they are tired from Qin Miao and Hamilton, they still care about their own images to some extent.

Verstappen didn't care about his appearance at all, and when he came in, his hair was completely wet, and he looked like a chicken nest when he pulled it on his head.

Coupled with Verstappen, his face is a little long and his lips are thick.

Coupled with the current expression and temperament, the whole person looks a little embarrassed.

After saying hello, Verstappen sat down in his place, tilting his head to watch the replay on the screen.

When he saw Qin Miao use Hamilton to defend himself twice, Verstappen's inner sense of grievance suddenly came up.

"Qin Miao, why do you have such a good sense of space? To be honest, your defensive moves can be imagined in my imagination, but I really don't have the confidence to do anything like yours. ”

What Verstappen said was that Qin Miao on the track could not only keep the car in a fixed position with Hamilton's car, but also pay attention to the position of Verstappen's car and react to Verstappen's movements at any time.

This kind of dual-purpose on the track sounds awesome, but it's possible, but it's dangerous.

Because of the high speed of the car, if you are distracted or not paying attention, the car may go forward for fifty or sixty meters, and at such a long distance, any disturbance of the steering wheel may cause an extremely serious track accident.

But since Qin Miao entered F1, he has not had any track accidents caused by him in his entire career.

It's a bit unreasonable to blame all this on Qin Miao's luck, after all, this time span is too long.

In the current ranking of all F1 drivers' repair costs, Qin Miao is also one of the fewest ones.

Many teams that have been deeply involved in driver mistakes and have caused a lot of additional budget expenditure have red eyes when they see Qin Miao's ranking on the repair list.

The speed is fast, it will protect the engine, and it is especially stable, and there will be no mistakes on the track, so the driver will not be moved if he sees it, even if he is paid a high salary, I am willing to keep him in the team!

Ferrari: Just chat, why do you still curse?

"Actually, it's not difficult, as long as you're bold, the rest will be left to Bazi...... Well, I mean, the rest depends on whether God wants to see you or not. Qin Miao explained solemnly.

Hamilton: ╮(╯▽╰)╭

Verstappen: Σ(⊙▽⊙"a

After pulling the calves for a while, the track staff also came to remind the three drivers that it was time to go to the stage to receive the award.

The trio got up, put on their Pirelli caps and started lining up at the podium exit.

At this time, Toto, the representative of the Mercedes team, also came up from downstairs.

This is something that Qin Miao and Hamilton didn't expect, the two originally thought that after today's game was over, it would be Frankie or Elliott who would come up, but they didn't expect it to be Toto today.

However, strictly speaking, Toto is the boss of Qin Miao and Hamilton after all, and it is not inappropriate for him to come to the stage to accept the award after winning the opponent's home championship.

Soon, the four of them made the podium one after the other.

As if learning to be obedient, the last time the Red Bull Ring designed a super high podium for Verstappen, this race was gone, and the normal four regular podium positions appeared on the podium.

When Verstappen appeared on the stage, the cheers at the scene could be described as a tsunami, and when Qin Miao appeared, the scene was obviously a lot quieter, but there were still cheers.

As the four of them stood still, Qin Miao's familiar national anthem also sounded.

Unlike other drivers who would celebrate happily in this link, Qin Miao has always been solemn and sang with the melody in the national anthem.

In fact, this is just Qin Miao's habit all along, but Qin Miao's behavior has increased his status and importance a lot in the eyes of some domestic official media.

After the national anthem session, Qin Miao won her second Dutch Grand Prix trophy.

This trophy is in the shape of Heineken's star, but it is a five-pointed star in the shape of a plane elevated, with a very obvious waistline, which still looks good.

Then there was a celebration and cheering group photo, and the Dutch Grand Prix came to an end after the whole process.

Of course, after this game, there are still a lot of interesting things after the game.

For example, Tsunoda withdrew not because the tyre bolts on his car were not locked, but because of a problem with the differential of the car.

This is a problem that the FIA inspection found after the match.

At the same time, Yuki Tsunoda parked the car on the side of the track when he first noticed a problem with the car, and at that time Tsunoda unbuckled his seat belt.

However, when the team reminded him that there was nothing wrong with the car, Tsunoda drove the car back.

But at that time, Tsunoda was in a state where he was not wearing a seat belt, and it was only when he stopped for the first time that Tsunoda fastened his seat belt.

But because of this, Tsunoda was deemed unsafe by the FIA and received one reprimand after the race, and this is the fifth reprimand that Tsunoda has received this season, and he will need to be punished for 10 places in the next Italian Grand Prix.

With the performance of the Little Red Bull Racing on the track this season, it is basically the end of the track that starts next week's Italian Grand Prix.

Then, after the podium stage, when all the drivers had driven their cars back to the pits, Alonso, Stroll and Zhou Guanyu gathered next to Pérez's car and began to study the Red Bull car.

But no one knows exactly what they came up with.

After the race, Qin Miao, Hamilton and Toto naturally returned to the team's P room with their trophies happily.

After a group photo of everyone in the team gathered together at the door of the P room, all the work of the Mercedes team in this race was completed.

Today, Qin Miao also went to participate in the team's post-race interview rarely.

Qin Miao participated in the post-game interview this time, mainly for the dish of vinegar to make dumplings.

He just wanted to make the Dutch crowd angry during the post-match interview.

However, Qin Miao mainly just wanted to get a good time, and he didn't really want to completely offend the Dutch audience, after all, after a Dutch Grand Prix, Qin Miao obtained pure economic benefits, such as selling peripherals and advertising portrait rights income, Qin Miao didn't have to do anything, and he only had to wait at home to count the money, and the income was almost 400,000 US dollars.

This is still not counting the prize money given to them by the team, and the sponsor reward after winning the championship.

After the race, because it was the second race in a row of three back-to-backs, after this race, it was the Italian Grand Prix next week.

The team began packing their belongings on the day of the race, packed overnight, and then transported the team's supplies from the Netherlands to Italy by land.

Oka players are ecstatic.

Because the convoy of supplies is pulled over by big trucks.

This part of Europe is not big, and there are many places where there is no traffic control or anything like that, so you can drive there directly.

On the morning of the next Monday, the supplies arrived at the Monza circuit in Italy to begin unpacking.

But these have nothing to do with Qin Miao, after the game is over, Qin Miao first returned to the United Kingdom for a day of rest, and only went to Italy on Tuesday.

The position and feelings of Italy in Qin Miao's heart are still quite complicated.

After all, this is the starting point of his F1 racing dream, Qin Miao has also been in Maranello for a long time, and he is also familiar with the local culture and has made many friends.

But because of some smart reasons within Ferrari, Qin Miao left Ferrari.

In Qin Miao's heart, he has a certain sense of guilt for local Italian fans.

It's just that this feeling will become weaker and weaker with the passage of time, but at least in the second year of Qin Miao's career, he still retains this feeling.

After arriving in Italy, Qin Miao naturally stayed in the hotel as soon as possible.

However, Qin Miao knew too many people here, so after landing at the hotel and putting things away, Qin Miao drove out non-stop.

First went to Vicenza.

After arriving in Vicenza, Qin Miao naturally went to the Prema team to meet his old friends and catch up on the past.

For Qin Miao's arrival, Luo Xin and they didn't feel too surprised, after all, every year at the beginning of the Italian Grand Prix, Qin Miao would come over.

However, this week was the last game of the back-to-back three consecutive matches, so Qin Miao didn't stay in Vicenza for long.

After having lunch and leaving a few photos and autographs, I drove to Maranello.

Qin Miao went out for dinner with Sister Li Qin in Maranello and the buddies from the Ferrari Racing Division who helped Qin Miao change the car.

All human relations were solved in one day.

The only thing that made Qin Miao feel a little helpless was that after returning to the hotel, photos of Qin Miao and Li Qin having dinner were exposed.

Soon rumors began inside and outside the paddock that Qin Miao could return to Ferrari after the end of her contract in 2023.

In 2024, you can see Qin Miao put on a Ferrari racing suit and sit in the car again!

After all, Qin Miao and the Ferrari people really talked and laughed when they ate together, and they looked very harmonious, and there was no rustiness or hatred.

There were also some staff members in the corners of Ferrari who stood up at this time, expressing their hope that they could see Qin Miao in the driver's seat of the Ferrari car next season.

These people are completely here to arch the fire.

However, this time, there was not much overreaction on the side of the Mercedes team, because Qin Miao had told Toto before going to Vicenza that he was going to Italy to meet the friends who had helped him when he was still in F2.

Putting aside Qin Miao's identity, this is a very normal gathering of friends.

And for Mercedes, if Qin Miao really went to Maranello to talk to Ferrari about the driver's contract, it shouldn't be this time.

After all, at this time, there was still more than a year before Qin Miao's contract with Mei Ben expired.

If it is said that Mei Ben asked Ferrari to buy out the contract with Qin Miao because Qin Miao signed a rookie contract with Ferrari, although the liquidated damages are very high, it is not unacceptable.

At least from the current point of view, Mei Ben's buying out of Qin Miao's contract from Ferrari is a big profit.

But now the liquidated damages for Qin Miao and Mei Ben's contract are a little too high, and Ferrari will not find Mei Ben to buy out this contract no matter what.

Because it's not worth it.

In short, the race week for the Italian Grand Prix has just begun, and there has been some uproar inside and outside the paddock because of the news.

However, these public opinions did not affect Qin Miao, he still sang and danced, pretending not to know anything.

Arriving at Monza on Wednesday, I went out for dinner with Leclerc.

However, this time the protagonist is not Leclerc, but Leclerc's younger brother Arthur.

After last week's Dutch Grand Prix ended, Qin Miao left the paddock in a hurry, after all, in the back-to-back three consecutive races, everyone was in a hurry, although Qin Miao was relatively idle, but there was still a lot of celebration and work after the race.

So much so that Arthur got good results in the arena, and he didn't have a chance to come over to thank Qin Miao.

So it dragged on until now.

During the meal, Qin Miao learned that in the Dutch Grand Prix last week, Arthur won the F3 main race championship.

And according to Arthur, he used a lot of small skills taught to him by Qin Miao in the main race stage, so Arthur's long-distance speed in the main race stage was very good.

However, after Qin Miao heard this, he waved his hand indifferently: "What does this have to do with me?" I'm just telling you some simple truths and methods that almost everyone in the paddock knows.

It wasn't me who really won this race, it was you who put what you learned on the track to use. ”

Qin Miao said to Arthur.

"To be honest, sometimes I really don't understand why you Chinese are so humble." Leclerc on the side said with a smile.

In their opinion, Arthur's sub-race championship last week was won after Qin Miao had taught him, and this was Qin Miao's greatest credit.

But Qin Miao didn't care about it.

Qin Miao said: "This is not modesty, I really think so. ”

……

It didn't take much time to eat, but Qin Miao didn't say anything more about Arthur's F3 results except for encouraging Arthur a few words.

Qin Miao didn't want to become an adult who was very annoying in the eyes of those children, and especially liked to preach.

On Thursday, Qin Miao came to the paddock as usual to participate in the pre-race press conference, walking the track for media day activities and the like.

At the same time, the figure of Asians in the paddock gradually increased, and Qin Miao also saw a lot of Chinese.

These are all sent by Geely to F1 for research. (End of chapter)
