How Did I Become an F1 Driver?-Chapter 805 - 325: Unexpected Visitor (2)

At this time, Qin Miao wasn't trying anything particularly unique, and he still found a journalist who had a good relationship with Mercedes.

The journalist saw Qin Miao coming over and greeted him with a smile: "Qin Miao, although I'm happy to see you, I hope I don't have to see you here too often."

Qin Miao smiled helplessly: "Who wouldn't agree with that."

"Alright, let's start the interview."

Qin Miao nodded, indicating for him to go on. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

"We all know that with your current lead on the points table, you only need to finish in the top three in this race to secure the season's driver championship.

But before the race, you were penalized for changing the battery, will this penalty affect your performance in the main race?"

"Obviously not. Although this week's race is very important to me, in terms of difficulty, it's pretty average compared to previous races. I believe the team and I will deliver a performance that satisfies our team's fans during the main race."

"What do you mean by a performance that satisfies the fans?"

"The driver championship." Qin Miao said confidently.

"Alright, so as a rookie entering F1 for the first time this year, competing for the driver championship with Hamilton and Verstappen in your first season, and possibly winning the championship at the end, do you think your performance this rookie season is adequate?"

Facing this question, Qin Miao thought for a bit before answering: "Honestly, I am quite satisfied with my current performance and results on the track, but the season isn't over yet. I think it's a bit premature to talk about it before the final results of this season are out."

"One last question, if you win the driver championship after this race, can you share how you plan to celebrate?"

Although Qin Miao considered this journalist almost one of his own, he still couldn't quite accept this pre-victory champagne-popping approach.

So after thinking about it, Qin Miao said: "I honestly don't dare to think about it right now.

Right now, we are mainly focused on ensuring the race proceeds normally and achieving a good result at the end.

As for how to celebrate?

Maybe after the race ends and we've achieved the results we wanted, the smiles on all the team staff's faces will be our best way to celebrate.

At this point, Qin Miao's post-race interview was basically over.

However, Qin Miao's response did indeed surprise the interviewing journalist a bit.

Before Qin Miao left, the journalist sincerely said: "Well, I hope you achieve a great result, and next year I won't see you here."

Qin Miao flashed a bright smile: "Of course, I'll do my best."

After the interview ended, online discussion started fermenting.

Qin Miao's humble and cautious attitude reassured fans back home who were both eager and worried about Qin Miao.

Although Qin Miao has always shown stability on the track, in the eyes of the audience, Qin Miao is still very young, and Chinese fans have never seen a Chinese driver like Qin Miao before.

All of a sudden, having a driver like Qin Miao, who has top talent in racing, domestic fans are really treating him like a treasure.

So they're somewhat nervous and stressed about Qin Miao's performance.

But Qin Miao's humility sent a positive signal to domestic fans, showing that Qin Miao values this race highly and is not becoming complacent or blindly arrogant despite his current lead in the points table.

However, foreign fans didn't see it that way. Foreigners are naturally more expressive and willing to show themselves, unlike the introverted and modest Chinese.

So after seeing Qin Miao's interview, they felt Qin Miao was being overly humble, which wasn't good at all.

But after the interview, Qin Miao didn't have the energy to pay attention to online comments about him.

After all, regardless of the current online opinions, as long as he wins the championship after the race, these comments will eventually converge.

After the interview, Qin Miao went straight back to the team home to pack up and left the paddock.

It was getting late, and as a driver, Qin Miao needed to go back early to rest and prepare for the upcoming main race.

However, to Qin Miao's surprise, when he returned to the hotel, he didn't find Qimeng, who had greeted him and said she was returning early to the hotel to handle some matters.

Just as Qin Miao was puzzled and about to call Qimeng to ask where she was, the hotel room door opened.

Qimeng hurriedly pushed the door open and entered, but upon seeing Qin Miao, the urgency on her face immediately turned to one of dejection and resignation.

As Qin Miao looked puzzled and wanted to ask Qimeng why she was wearing such an expression, a voice came from behind her: "Mengmeng, why are you standing at the door and not coming in?"

Hearing this voice, Qin Miao was a bit taken aback because the voice sounded very familiar to him.

Sure enough, as the voice's owner walked in, Qin Miao immediately recognized her.

"Mom? What are you doing here?"

The person was none other than Qin Miao's mother.

Her appearance hadn't changed much since Qin Miao left home; in fact, she looked even younger now, with shiny skin full of collagen, and much fewer wrinkles on her face.
