How Did I Become an F1 Driver?-Chapter 794 - 321: The "Wealthier" Fan

But this race should still be celebrated.

Because it's not just a victory for Qin Miao, but also the fruitful result of the hard work of everyone on the team.

Even if Qin Miao is under a lot of pressure right now and doesn't feel like celebrating, he has to consider the other team members.

At least this victory will serve as motivation for next week's Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, and at least for this week, everyone in the Mercedes team will feel more at ease.

After the race, Qin Miao got off the car happily.

Generally not one for celebrating after getting off the car, Qin Miao rarely stood on his own race car, cheering loudly at the audience who came to support him and the other team staff.

Even though the audience couldn't see Qin Miao's expression because of the helmet, they could determine Qin Miao's excitement from his raised hands and slightly trembling body.

After getting off the car, Qin Miao naturally laughed and rushed towards Frankie and the others. This race was entirely a heroic victory for Qin Miao, with initial patience waiting for the right opportunity.

When the crucial opportunity appeared, he seized and converted it into his victory.

Although there was some team assistance involved, most of the credit indeed belongs to Qin Miao.

"Let's congratulate Qin Miao! In such a chaotic and fragmented race, he used his wisdom, clear mind, and seized a fleeting opportunity, eventually gaining an advantage and clinching the final victory!" Bing and the others genuinely felt happy for Qin Miao's race victory during his celebration.

"Qin Miao's race vividly illustrated the saying: when the sandpiper and the clam fight, it's the fisherman who benefits."

"Actually, I think what's truly commendable about Qin Miao's race is his ability to seize that opportunity.

That opportunity flashed by very quickly, and even a slight delay in reaction would not have yielded such a great result as now."

The three commentators also expressed their views on Qin Miao's performance after the race.

...

After celebrating for a while with Frankie and the others, Qin Miao then saw Toto and Elliott Allison, along with other Mercedes team senior leaders, coming over.

Qin Miao was about to leave but stopped with a smile to greet them upon seeing them.

"Well done, Qin Miao!" Although knowing Qin Miao must have heard this from countless people lately, Toto still offered him praise face-to-face.

"Thank you, boss." Qin Miao showed no humility as the race was strictly his solo act.

The final overtaking was entirely a demonstration of Qin Miao's personal ability.

Switching to another driver might not have had such a quick reaction, let alone seized such an opportunity.

After greeting a few other team bigwigs, Qin Miao was ready to go for interviews.

On his way to the weighing area, Hamilton also returned.

Seeing Qin Miao on the track at that time, Hamilton's expression harbored some complexity.

However, because Hamilton was wearing a helmet, Qin Miao couldn't see Hamilton's expression through the helmet's visor.

Before the season started, Hamilton naturally thought Qin Miao might be his future successor, but during his time at Mercedes, Qin Miao could never override him.

Hamilton then had the confidence and strength to say such things.

Yet now, standing before Qin Miao and recalling his past words, Hamilton genuinely felt a sense of absurdity.

The novice Chinese racer now has one foot on the finish line of the 2021 driver's championship. Just needing to step a bit further, Qin Miao could achieve the drivers' championship everyone dreams of.

"How can he be this strong?"

However, when Qin Miao walked up to greet him proactively, Hamilton reluctantly managed a smile.

After the two bumped fists, Hamilton said, "That was an impressive race."

"Haha, thank you, Lewis. You also performed brilliantly in today's race."

Faced with Qin Miao's compliment, Hamilton said nothing further.

Their amicability was pretty much limited to being in front of the cameras, with little private exchange nowadays.

After a brief chat, Hamilton turned to celebrate with Angela and other Mercedes team staff.

Even though he was very dissatisfied with this race's result.

Yet after winning, celebrating was necessary, not just for himself but for all the team staff who supported him.

Soon, it was time for the post-race interview.

Because Qin Miao finished weighing first, he was the first to be interviewed.

"An eye-catching race, especially the brilliant final overtaking. You must have waited long for that chance, right, Qin Miao?"

Qin Miao adjusted his cap, using the motion to digest the host's question before answering, "Yes, the process wasn't pleasant and even tormenting for me, but luckily I endured the torment during the wait, and the final result satisfied me."
