This time, I came because I received an invitation from the Ferrari team. But I should be available for another American Grand Prix this year, so I’m really looking forward to your performance then."

Qin Miao smiled and said, "That’s great, let’s exchange contact information, and I’ll get in touch with you then."

After getting Keanu Reeves’ phone number, he walked away coolly, even his back looked so stylish.

To be honest, Qin Miao doesn’t really like many male celebrities, but Keanu is definitely one of them.

Then Qin Miao continued his work, interviews, interviews on the track, and pre-race driver parade. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

After going through the whole routine, Qin Miao got more than an hour of rest.

This time, Qin Miao didn’t do anything else in the lounge. Qin Miao is known for his extraordinary familiarity with the Silverstone track.

In the system, Silverstone is the track where Qin Miao is most proficient, with Shanghai coming in second.

This is the confidence the system gives Qin Miao, coupled with the team’s car not letting him down, Qin Miao feels fully confident to relax before the race starts.

When the time was almost up, Qin Miao put on his racing suit and returned to the team’s garage.

After saying hello to Tang, actor Tom Cruise from Mission Impossible, Qin Miao went to get his gear.

Tang is a fan of Hamilton, coupled with his identity and nationality, appearing in the Mercedes team’s garage is quite normal.

Moreover, unlike the ordinary VIPs of the Mercedes team, he stands next to Toto Wolff watching the race.

However, Qin Miao isn’t quite familiar with him, so after greeting him, Qin Miao grabbed his gear and headed to the track.

Having completed all pre-race preparations, Qin Miao returned to his car.

After testing various systems of the car and ensuring everything is fine, Qin Miao waits for the race to begin.

In today’s race, Qin Miao and Hamilton are both using medium tires.

However, with both using medium tires, Qin Miao is obviously going to pit later than Hamilton, as everyone knows about Qin Miao’s tire-saving capabilities.

The race officially starts at 3 PM local time, with Sainz taking the lead to start the warm-up lap.

All other drivers follow closely behind.

After the warm-up lap ends, Qin Miao parks his car in its spot.

The five red lights light up one by one.

The five red lights go out, and the race begins!

This time, the start for Qin Miao was quite decent, neither slower than the drivers around him nor faster.

On the other hand, Hamilton, bolstered by the home ground advantage, was visibly more excited than usual; his start was particularly swift.

Entering T1, he was already side by side with Perez, and given Silverstone’s T1 is a right turn, with Hamilton blocking Perez’s inside line, he had the advantage out of the turn.

However, Perez didn’t have a bad start himself and obviously wasn’t going to give his position to Hamilton easily.

So, Hamilton squeezing into Perez’s inside line, Perez utilized his earlier entry advantage to occupy a large portion of the turn, forcing Hamilton onto the grass.

After getting onto the grass, Hamilton’s car’s acceleration performance was undoubtedly affected, leaving his position unchanged following the start.

Meanwhile, Qin Miao’s start was quite steady, not losing any positions due to mistakes nor gaining any.

The drivers behind also made a fair start, with Zhou Guanyu having quite a good start too.

Starting from eighth, he, like Hamilton, wedged into the inside line of Norris ahead.

Nonetheless, Zhou Guanyu’s start wasn’t as good as Hamilton’s, with him only aligning his left front wheel with Norris’s right rear wheel upon entering the inside.

His action at T1 was more to use Norris’s car width to defend against Alonso who had a noticeably better start behind him.

And Zhou Guanyu’s tactic was successful.

In the center of the turn, Alonso found his entry path completely blocked by the two cars, forcing him to reluctantly ease on the throttle.
