How Did I Become an F1 Driver?-Chapter 667 - 282: A Brief Respite

Afterwards, buying a house, including settling in Monaco, was all handled by Qimeng. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

After all, with the exemption of personal income tax, for someone like Qin Miao with high income, Monaco is indeed a great place to settle.

The key is that Monaco also has Leclerc, Norris, Ricardo.

This way, going out for a meal or dropping by would be much more convenient.

Besides, there's also Hockenheim, Albon.

These two former F1 drivers also currently live in Monaco.

Hamilton also owns property in Monaco, but he is officially registered as living in the UK.

In short, Qimeng was left to handle this matter, and Qin Miao also trusted that she would take care of it well.

Meanwhile, Qin was focusing all his attention on the upcoming Turkey Grand Prix.

Time quickly flew by to Sunday.

Even though today was Sunday, Qin Miao still showed up at the Mercedes team's simulator department.

And Toto was also at work today. When he passed by the team's simulator department, he once again saw Qin Miao practicing on the simulator.

You know, since it's Sunday, even Bottas didn't come to the team's factory.

Toto was surprised to see Qin Miao after stopping at the entrance of the simulator department but didn't disturb him, leaving with his files.

Normally, beyond the four days of race events, the rest of the time is flexible for the drivers, who are mostly busy making money or resting around the world, with no time to come to the team.

You can rarely find a second person like Qin Miao, who spends every day immersed in the team simulator.

Even Hamilton is like this.

So actually, many people at Mercedes prefer Qin Miao over Hamilton now.

Besides, there's also Bottas.

But during the time without a car to drive, Bottas is also spending almost every day at the team, helping develop the car.

This even eased the relationship between Qin Miao and Bottas quite a bit.

After all, the two of them, as long as there were no races, would see each other frequently on workdays.

From ignoring each other when they met at first, it slowly developed into nodding at each other, and now when they meet, they even greet each other.

If they encounter any issues, they even gather to exchange opinions.

The reason why the staff at Mercedes likes these two,

is mainly that they see a reflection of themselves in these two drivers, seeing the unlucky people working a nine-to-five and sometimes having to work overtime on weekends without rest.

Maybe these two earn more than them, but at least their work hours are as long as theirs.

...

After Toto returned to his office and worked for a while, when he rested, the image of Qin Miao appeared in his mind.

After thinking it over, he called the simulator department manager, asking Qin Miao to come to his office after he finished work.

At this time, Qin Miao had just finished a long-distance test.

After briefly communicating his driving feedback and the car's condition with the staff and smoothly filling out a form, he received the notice and went upstairs somewhat reluctantly to Toto's office.

Toto's office usually isn't closed. After Qin Miao knocked on the door, he entered as indicated by Toto.

Once Qin Miao entered, Toto pointed to the chair in front of his desk and said, "Have a seat.

Do you want something to drink?"

Qin Miao waved his hand, "No need, Toto, what's this about?"

Toto's opening line was merely a polite gesture, as Toto had also been a driver for some time and knew that F1 drivers generally can't have drinks and such.

Since Qin Miao didn't want to say more, Toto got straight to the point, "The main reason I called you here today is to talk about the contract."

Hearing this, Qin Miao roughly guessed Toto's thoughts.

Even though he's currently not doing well on the points standings, with Hamilton constantly closing the gap,

it cannot be denied that Qin Miao is still leading the points standings.

And considering his rate of improvement, Qin Miao might actually have a chance to win the championship this season.

This time, Toto is probably looking to discuss the contract renewal.
