Like a world champion you really admire.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since she prompted him, the young driver hesitantly looked at the host, then tentatively asked, \"Qin Miao?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The host smiled and asked, \"Are you sure?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, then let's welcome the Formula One World Champion, Qin Miao!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then amidst the cheers of the audience, Qin Miao walked out on stage, smiling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When this young driver saw it was indeed Qin Miao presenting his award, his eyes literally started sparkling with stars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Actually, in the eyes of this young driver, and many drivers in lower-level Formula series, Qin Miao's achievements in F1 are considered quite ordinary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because Qin Miao wasn't the only one to achieve such results.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason many drivers in lower-level series admire Qin Miao is because of his dominance and trophy monopoly in F2 that year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being drivers of lower-level formula cars themselves, they know firsthand how difficult these cars are to drive, thus understanding the difficulty of Qin Miao's feat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A young man just turned 20, approaching 21, encouraging an 11-year-old child—it's a somewhat funny image.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But no one can question the significance of Qin Miao's encouragement because he's the F1 World Champion of this year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Defeating the seven-time champion Hamilton is not something anyone can question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finishing the award presentation, Qin Miao naturally returned to his seat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next, Qin Miao continued to daydream, and during this time the awards for WEC, Formula E, and Le Mans were completed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then it came to the 2021 Person of the Year awards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Worth mentioning is that among the 10 nominees for this award, 7 are F1 drivers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They are: Alonso, Hamilton, Norris, Qin Miao, Kimi, Verstappen, and Vettel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Strictly speaking, Jean Todt is also considered an F1 insider.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The winner ended up being Lewis Hamilton.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then came Hamilton's routine of going on stage to receive the award.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After sharing his acceptance speech, Old Man carried down a huge trophy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Miao didn't say any pointless words, just said congratulations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Man sighed while looking at his trophy, \"Just a consolation prize. If you had come in second, you would have gotten this award too with your performance this season.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Miao was really surprised. Is there really such a saying? Does the FIA awards ceremony also distribute consolation prizes?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If that's the case... Qin Miao silently prayed he would never receive such an award in his lifetime, hoping it always falls on his teammates instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next was the WRC awards segment,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And after the WRC awards, it was the retirement ceremony for FIA President Jean Todt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, after the end of the 2021 season, Jean Todt would step down as FIA President, considering he's over 75 and quite elderly now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once it reached this point, even the usually inattentive Qin Miao adjusted his posture, tidied his clothes, and became solemn and serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite Qin Miao not having long dealings with Todt, he was familiar with him. The first time Todt met Qin Miao, he introduced himself in formal Chinese, leaving a deep impression and increased fondness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every time a Grand Prix started, Todt would personally attend driver's meetings to explain race details and track restrictions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Todt had other commitments and couldn't attend the driver's meeting, at least once per Grand Prix he'd meet the drivers and chat a bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Miao really respects the old man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside him, Toto and Hamilton's expressions were also solemn, filled with reluctance towards the old man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Midway through the process, F1 CEO Domenicali came on stage, chatted a bit, and prepared a gift for Jean Todt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the curtain was lifted, they found it was the helmets of the 20 drivers who participated in F1 this year, including Qin Miao's.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, these are helmets actually used during the races, showing their great significance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most drivers had signed their names on the visors of their helmets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Miao used his carefully practiced calligraphy to write: [Happy Retirement].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Todt saw it and naturally felt deeply moved, his emotions complex.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Later, FIA also gave Todt a gift, similarly a helmet, but this helmet is the type commonly used by FIA staff on the field. It features signatures from world champions of FIA-related events, including Qin Miao's signature.\u003C\u002Fp>",806,"2026-06-06T15:23:17.430Z",1,"novelbin.me","d0afc81749127c883aadb03dbb72d75b7e7392510e31646e885869eb2376570d","how-did-i-become-an-f1-driver-chapter-852","how-did-i-become-an-f1-driver-chapter-650",1086,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fhow-did-i-become-an-f1-driver-cover.jpg"]
