Instead, he confidently pounded his chest and promised, \"I definitely will!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a brief chat, Qin Miao led Qimeng into Leclerc's house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You guys arrived so early?\" Leclerc, who was still tidying up, looked quite surprised to see them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Miao shrugged and unceremoniously took some dried fruits from Leclerc's snack tray, saying as he ate, \"Mainly because Qimeng has a habit of being early, while I usually like to arrive just on time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leclerc nodded understandingly: \"Make yourselves at home and find a place to sit; it'll take me a bit longer to finish tidying up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Miao showed off the dried fruits in his hand, implying that he wasn't being polite at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a while, Arthur also returned and joined Qin Miao's side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Due to Qin Miao's young age, he was already used to the fact that people much older than him were fans of his.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And putting aside his relationship with Leclerc, Arthur was just an ordinary young man who knew how to drive an F3 car and had some talent in racing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So after the initial shock, Qin Miao was able to adjust his mindset and chat calmly with Leclerc's brother, Arthur.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even though Qin Miao seemed very relaxed at the moment, Arthur was still somewhat overly excited after meeting his idol.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stuttered a bit as he spoke, \"Qin Miao, can I... can I take a picture with you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, Qin Miao didn't refuse Arthur's request for a photo and autograph.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because after Qin Miao and the others arrived, they started waiting at Leclerc's house, which made Leclerc pack up much quicker.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By 9:50, the three of them had already left the house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since this was for work, and because Arthur still had training duties, he couldn't go with Qin Miao to Mexico.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the way, there were naturally lots of laughter and conversation; when Qin Miao was with Leclerc, they could always find something to talk about. Even if they stopped chatting, they'd pull Qimeng over, and the three of them could start a game of playing cards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention, after the first time Qin Miao hitched a ride on his plane, Leclerc added an Xbox to his plane and downloaded a bunch of games.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So on the way to Mexico, Qin Miao didn't feel bored at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After landing, Qin Miao parted ways with Leclerc.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the moment their plane landed in Mexico, they entered the work zone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the coming period, both of them would be busy with their respective tasks, and their workplaces weren't the same, so parting was inevitable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a Ritz-Carlton Hotel branch near the Mexican track, and this hotel was one of Mercedes' sponsors, so Qin Miao's entire team was staying at this hotel for race week.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After landing, Qin Miao didn't just laze around; he immediately went to find Barber, and the two of them went to the hotel's gym to start adaptability training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's been mentioned before about Mexico City's altitude issues; although Qin Miao, due to his exceedingly robust physical condition, didn't feel short of breath here, the fact is that the air is thinner here than on other tracks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if it didn't feel that way, such an environment does affect the drivers' bodies to some degree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Miao needed to acclimatize to this high-altitude climate over Wednesday and Thursday, with Barber, a professional, naturally providing guidance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Qin Miao spent Wednesday entirely adapting to the local climate without taking a rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thursday, Qin Miao's work began.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the morning, he walked the track, ate a little at noon, rested briefly, and then started adaptability training again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Miao declined the team's Thursday afternoon filming schedule; according to his contract with the team, he wouldn't participate in any media or sponsor activities for the entire upcoming season.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Friday marked the start of the Mexican Grand Prix.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mexico, located in southern North America, shares almost the same time zone as the United States, so the race times in Mexico are quite inconvenient for European and Asian fans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In China, the first practice session started at 1:30 AM on November 6th, and the second practice session was at 5:00 AM.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, very few Chinese fans stayed up late to watch the practice sessions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, many fans attended the first and second practice sessions on-site; Mexicans are quite passionate about F1 racing, not to mention Mexican driver Perez is on the Red Bull team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And given the performance of the Red Bull car, Perez had hopes of reaching the podium in this race.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Mexican fans were enthusiastic about this Grand Prix.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a result, on just this Friday alone, the number of Mexican fans present on-site reached 150,000.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the number of fans for just one day.\u003C\u002Fp>",902,"2026-06-06T15:23:16.014Z",1,"novelbin.me","f35405b0ef2d0b7f06b7dcd1b677a46eed0ef4255c14d6ea3add0789c5dde973","how-did-i-become-an-f1-driver-chapter-708","how-did-i-become-an-f1-driver-chapter-706",1086,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fhow-did-i-become-an-f1-driver-cover.jpg"]
