I think we need to meet and talk about some things.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Miao picked up the phone Qimeng left behind on the bed; it was only 9:17 in the morning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay, I’ll be ready to welcome you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"See you later.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hanging up the phone, Qin Miao scratched his head. There’s no need to guess Toto’s purpose in coming to see him this time; it’s simply because he’s worried about Qin Miao leaving due to Geely’s entry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a season’s performance and the support of many off-track factors, Qin Miao has now become an indispensable part of the Mercedes team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Miao’s presence has significantly increased the commercial value of the Mercedes team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially in the Chinese market, in the year 2022 alone, the sales of team merchandise like car models, uniforms, and hats increased by 120% overall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The growth in the domestic market was even a staggering 300%.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention the fan economy spurred by Qin Miao that led to a massive increase in Mercedes car sales.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides these commercial aspects, what truly makes the team value Qin Miao is the talent he displays on the track.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most importantly, Qin Miao is exceptionally young.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, Qin Miao is only 21 years old and hasn’t even reached the true peak period of a racer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, upon the entry of a Chinese team, incredibly attractive to someone like Qin Miao, Toto naturally has some concerns about whether Qin Miao will stay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, his plan is to continue the current Mercedes lineup until the end of the 2026 season when new regulations come out for adjustments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, what Qin Miao didn’t expect was that Toto would come to find him so quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Qin Miao’s anticipation, Toto would at least wait until after his two-day rest period was over before coming to see him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But regardless of how Toto might convince him later, Qin Miao had to get out of bed now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He threw off the covers, put on underwear, casually picked a t-shirt and shorts, and went to the bathroom wearing slippers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finishing his routine, Qin Miao’s house door was knocked on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said to Qimeng, who peeked her head out from the study, \"Toto is coming over for a chat later.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, then I’ll cut some fruit for you guys.\" Qimeng nodded, went back to the study, and picked up a hair tie to tidy her slightly messy hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s how it is for a long-married couple; when they’re at home, they don’t usually manage their appearances much, each is accustomed to the other’s unkempt looks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Qimeng, naturally beautiful, with good skin, even when her hair is a bit messy, tying her hair up restores her overall charm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Miao nodded and went to open the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To Qin Miao’s surprise, it wasn’t just Toto who came, but also his wife, Suzy Wolff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suzy Wolff is considered a legend on the track.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As one of the few female racers, Suzy Wolff wasn’t weaker than male racers during her time as a driver.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At her peak, she even became a test driver for an F1 team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is a position that many F2 male drivers find hard to achieve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Suzy Wolff is also the second woman in F1 history to join an F1 team as a driver.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, she didn’t race in the official competition, mainly serving as a DTM driver and Williams’ F1 test driver.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After stepping back from racing, her work remained closely linked with the F1 domain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She has served as the head of the FE team and is currently the Executive Director of the F1 Drivers’ Academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, Qin Miao, who came up from F2, is quite familiar with his boss’s wife.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether during driver meetings in F2 or at various team gatherings after joining Mercedes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Welcome, good morning, boss, Suzy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good morning Qin Miao, I hope our visit hasn’t disturbed your rest day.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Toto smiled and handed Qin Miao a bottle of wine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though it’s well-known inside and outside the paddock that Qin Miao doesn’t drink, bringing a bottle of wine is basic European etiquette, not meant for Qin Miao to drink.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Miao naturally smiled and accepted it, saying, \"How could it? Having friends over is a form of rest, isn’t it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amid the laughter, Qin Miao welcomed the pair inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, Qimeng had also prepared fruits and hot tea for the guests, greeted Toto with a smile, and joined Qin Miao in hosting them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Toto didn’t immediately discuss the issue he was most concerned about with Qin Miao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, he took a circuitous approach, asking about Qin Miao’s current living situation and if there was anything the team could assist with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then they talked about various interesting things inside and outside the paddock since both are workers there, naturally having many shared topics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guided by Toto, the meeting’s atmosphere was quite amicable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, with Suzy expressing her interest in seeing Qin Miao’s trophy wall, renowned throughout the paddock for its complete collection of F2 championship trophies, Qimeng escorted her out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leaving Qin Miao and Toto alone in the living room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Miao knew the time for the main topic had arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leaning against the sofa back, Toto looked at Qin Miao and asked, \"Did you see this morning’s news? Geely is planning to buy Aston Martin’s team. Honestly, I was really surprised to hear a Chinese team is entering. Of course, more than anything, I’m happy because it means our influence in the Chinese market will gradually increase, and you’ve contributed a lot to this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",937,"2026-06-06T15:23:24.827Z",1,"novelbin.me","fc595c3f1e872455125d4822cf5bba133b1979445fc26c962483c0eb9d540a22","how-did-i-become-an-f1-driver-chapter-1084","how-did-i-become-an-f1-driver-chapter-1082",1086,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fhow-did-i-become-an-f1-driver-cover.jpg"]
