Chapter 1086 - 414: King of Kids

Although Ferrari has consistently made some moves that make the Tiefu Temple’s eyes go black during these past few seasons, it’s still a legendary team in F1.

Respect! Kids.

Of course, Toto only thinks about this in his heart and doesn’t delve into it any deeper.

Because strictly speaking, Ferrari’s current public opinion isn’t very good, and it’s kind of their own doing.

Toto shifted more of his attention to the wall in front of him and sighed for quite a while.

"Actually, I noticed you in the first race you were in F2." Standing next to Qin Miao, Toto suddenly brought up the time two years ago when Qin Miao was still in F2.

Qin Miao looked at Toto in surprise: "So early?"

Toto nodded, then turned his head to ask Qin Miao: "I remember the second place in that race was Ilott, right? You won your first F2 race by leading your opponent by 10 seconds, and that was quite shocking to me at the time."

Qin Miao shrugged after thinking for a while and said: "Honestly, back then I was actually isolated by most of the F2 drivers, except for Zhou Guanyu. I basically had no friends in F2, and I didn’t even remember who Ilott was at the time you just mentioned.

Even now I remember, I don’t recall exactly how much I led him by to win."

Toto’s lips twitched, he now had reason to suspect that Qin Miao was just showing off in front of him.

Back when he was still a driver, he clearly remembered the first regional karting championship he won, including who participated in that race and how many seconds he led the second place to win.

Even now, he can recall the feelings of that time.

Although winning an F2 station championship doesn’t carry as much weight as an F1 championship, for a rookie driver who just entered F2, it’s still an extremely dazzling achievement.

Many professional F2 drivers may never touch that glory in their lifetime, but for Qin Miao, it was so nonchalant.

Although comparing to the glory Qin Miao has achieved now, the achievements of that time indeed seem insignificant...

He shook his head and didn’t continue chatting about this topic.

Toto comforted himself inwardly, saying geniuses like Qin Miao are more like monsters, something an ordinary person like him can’t comprehend, just get used to it.

After admiring Qin Miao’s trophy, Toto got a helmet from this season from Qin Miao.

Qin Miao seems to have a magic about him, attracting children very much.

In the past two seasons, as long as there are broadcasts with children in the scene, eight out of ten times the child would be wearing Qin Miao’s hat or a Mercedes team uniform.

Toto’s son is among them. He also likes Qin Miao and always wanted Toto to ask Qin Miao for a signature at home.

He even gave Toto his favorite W12 model.

But as Mercedes’ internal affairs have been busy and complicated recently, considering the competitiveness of this season’s Mercedes car was different from previous ones.

Toto himself was overwhelmed handling team matters, soothing employee emotions, and communicating with sponsors and the team’s parent company, Daimler.

So he didn’t attend to this matter, and even when the work settled down, it was hard to think of it since Qin Miao had already clocked off his shorter work hours.

Thus, during this time, Toto usually brought home posters or caps signed by Qin Miao.

These items are generally signed by Qin Miao in batches at a designated time, significantly diminishing their value and sincerity.

Therefore, Toto hasn’t found an opportunity yet to have Qin Miao sign his son’s racing model.

Now that he was at Qin Miao’s home, Toto forgot to bring his son’s racing model, after all, Qin Miao’s departure was evidently more important than his son’s model.

But given that he was already here, if his son knew, he would probably cause a fuss again, so Toto decided to ask Qin Miao for one of his spare helmets.

Notably, before the new season started, Sky Sports launched a poll asking fans to choose their favorite driver’s helmet design for this season.

The results showed that 40% of people chose Qin Miao’s helmet.

Out of twenty helmets, most people liked Qin Miao’s helmet design.

While Qin Miao’s reigning champion title from the previous season certainly had influence, such high support indicated the excellence of his helmet design.

This also made Qin Miao’s small helmet the best-selling among all drivers.

The revenue share Qin Miao received just from selling helmet accessories amounted to over 100 US Dollars.

So Toto thought bringing home a signed helmet from Qin Miao should settle a child’s anger.

Furthermore, the value of a wearable helmet would certainly exceed that of the car model.

After all, the inherent value of an F1 driver’s helmet is there, with the added prestige of Qin Miao’s signature.

Upon hearing Toto’s request, Qin Miao had no objection, fetched a white porcelain helmet of this season from the warehouse and signed his name on the helmet’s visor, then packaged it nicely and handed it to Suzy.

Afterward, Qimeng cooked, and Toto and his wife had lunch at Qin Miao’s place before leaving.
