Chapter 942 372: The New Neighbor

However, besides this, Qin Miao didn't make any additional expressions, as there was an interview to attend soon, and time was quite tight.

Furthermore, Qin Miao also feared that after chatting with them for a couple of sentences, they might come up with some tricks again.

After returning to the hotel and putting his things away, Qin Miao drove the Mercedes electric car from the back door to the paddock.

Time swiftly moved to Friday.

Recently, the weather in Italy hasn't been great, with continuous rain, starting with light rain on Friday morning.

When Qin Miao arrived at the team's home for a meeting, the meteorological department directly stated that there's a likely chance of rain during the first practice session, the second practice session might be slightly better, but there's also a possibility of rain during the qualifying and main race.

When rain was mentioned, Hamilton's team members didn't seem to feel much about it, as it's just normal weather conditions. It might cause some trouble, but it's not unmanageable.

But on Qin Miao's team side, upon hearing this news, everyone's hearts involuntarily felt overshadowed.

In their eyes, the extraordinarily talented and promising Qin Miao, if he had any weaknesses, it would be rain.

Whenever there's a race in the rain, Qin Miao's performance doesn't exactly worsen, but often his cornering angles tend to be conservative.

Qin Miao's condition is like the reflex when a doctor tests your knee with a hammer; the knee jumps reflexively. It's almost become a bodily instinct for Qin Miao.

The team also attempted to help Qin Miao correct these issues, but with little success.

However, after trying for a while without results, the team quickly came to terms with it, realizing that nobody is perfect, and everyone has some shortcomings.

Also, this isn't a particularly obvious shortcoming for Qin Miao, because rain only limits his performance, bringing him from the top driver level down to the mid-group driver level.

His speed in the rain is still considerable, just not as dazzling as his performance in the main race.

So the team members were only somewhat concerned but didn't really take the matter to heart, as it didn't matter if it rained during practice.

It was fine as long as it didn't rain during the main race.

After the morning meeting finished, it was time to start pre-race preparations, and soon it was time for the first practice session.

Just as the team's meteorological department had predicted, it started raining even before the first practice session began, and the rain was quite heavy.

But when the first practice session officially started, the rain noticeably mellowed, though it didn't stop.

Though it was still raining, the downpour didn't greatly impact the normal driving of the cars anymore.

So most drivers switched to semi-wet tires to start practicing and collecting data on the track.

Qin Miao was no exception.

It's noteworthy that in previous practice sessions, Qin Miao could complete the tasks assigned by the team within three-quarters of the session time, but today he almost missed completing one of the test items.

Watching Qin Miao, who seemed like a completely different person in dry conditions, Toto saw it all, but he didn't say anything.

After all, before extending an olive branch to Qin Miao, Toto had read countless evaluation reports about him.

What impressed Toto most was the period when Qin Miao was mastering the lightning in F2, and the only time Qin Miao retired was because there was rain on the track.

Domestic fans noticed this point and even analyzed the reason for Qin Miao's weakness in rain from a metaphysical aspect.

The most liked comment was: [Let me analyze, Qin Miao might have been told by a fortune teller that he's missing water in his life.

And Qin Miao's last name is Qin, which has a "He" (a character meaning seedling) underneath, needs water to grow, plus the absence of water in his fate, so normally, Qin Miao's parents might have thought of the character "Zhui" but since "Zhui" is an obscure character and not easy to pronounce, they simply went with "Miao".

Now, looking at it, the "Miao" character has too much water, so I conclude! Qin Miao's flaw with water is because of this reason.]

[Amazing, is there really this kind of interpretation?]

[Strange knowledge increased]

[Is there really such a saying about Sanshui?]

[Huh?]

Notably, the final [Huh?] was actually from Qin Miao's mom, who happened to see it while browsing forums about her son, so she curiously posted a [Huh?].

When she initially picked Qin Miao's name, she hadn't thought about it much. She threw the dictionary up in the air, and when it landed, it opened to the position of the pinyin "miao".

Among a multitude of words like meow, seedling, second, subtle, the only one resembling a boy's name was "Miao".

So it was decided Qin Miao would be named.

When she picked the name, she really hadn't thought about these complicated things...

Truly, once you've made a name for yourself, no matter how many silly things you've done, there will always be someone to make it right for you.
