Chapter 954 375: Letting Bygones Be Bygones

In recent days, Zhou Guanyu hasn't been at home. He went to Hinwil, Switzerland, which is the headquarters of the Alfa Romeo team.

He probably went there for work.

And in the time leading up to the start of the Miami Grand Prix, Qin Miao has been staying at the team factory.

Time quickly passed, and it was already Tuesday.

Normally, Qin Miao would set off for the race location on Wednesday, but this Miami Grand Prix is clearly different.

According to the information from the Miami Grand Prix organizers, during this Grand Prix weekend, the most basic package ticket has been sold for USD 15,000 each.

That's right, it's just a basic three-day package ticket.

It doesn't include the VIP viewing areas above the teams or those good positions in the stands.

And even for tickets in these areas, they are hard to find, with secondary markets selling one for USD 17,000 each.

It can be seen that F1's commercial potential in the US market is substantial.

Therefore, Qin Miao needs to go early to participate in some events held locally by team sponsors, of course with appearance fees, which are quite high.

So Qin Miao set off on Tuesday.

This time, Qin Miao didn't bring Zhou Guanyu along. Zhou Guanyu is going directly from Switzerland with most of his team's staff, so Qin Miao only brought Qimeng and Barber to Miami this time.

After the plane landed, people from the team picked Qin Miao up and took him to the team's hotel.

After lunch, Qin Miao began the team's marketing activities before the race.

To Qin Miao's surprise, when attending these marketing activities, a lot of people seemed to be his fans.

Many people were shouting his name in slightly accented Chinese.

In addition, Qin Miao was also invited to the largest gun shop in town, and then experienced the Humvee-mounted Gatling at their shooting range.

Alongside Qin Miao, the photographer captured the whole process from Qin Miao's calm expression to his gradually wild smile.

Of course, Qin Miao's pre-race activities didn't stop there. He went to an NBA game, and during the warm-up phase, Qin Miao went up and played a game of one-on-one with the Heat star Butler.

But this was just a performance match.

With his over two-meter height, Butler looked like a giant in front of Qin Miao, and with his hands up, Qin Miao couldn't even see the basket.

But clearly, in this exhibition game, Butler hardly defended against Qin Miao; he barely raised his hands.

And even though Qin Miao doesn't usually play basketball, his physical fitness speaks for itself; while his shooting might be inaccurate, Qin Miao can jump high.

Under the gaze of the fans at the arena, Qin Miao easily bypassed Butler's gaze defense.

Rushed under the basket for a tomahawk dunk.

It's hard to imagine, but at just 175 cm, when Qin Miao jumped, his head was as high as the basket.

This dunk instantly excited many of the spectators who were originally there just to enjoy an F1 world champion's performance.

Whistles and cheers instantly erupted.

Many older fans even saw a hint of Iverson in Qin Miao.

Because when Qin Miao jumped, it was too fast and high, with a long hang time and a decisive, smooth action.

After seeing Qin Miao's dunk, the audience and many players brightened up immediately.

But while some rejoiced, others worried; fans were thrilled by Qin Miao's dunk.

However, a few broke out in cold sweat immediately.

One was the Miami Grand Prix organizer's staff sent over to coordinate this event.

The other was Barber.
