But things have co to this point; complaining won’t change anything, and in any case, Qin Miao has now secured a podium spot.
At least the car’s performance is significantly better now than at the start of the season.
After parking the car, Qin Miao was ready to head to the post-race interview, where he saw a beaming Hamilton.
Today, Hamilton was genuinely happy, even happier than Verstappen, who won the race.
Because this was the first ti this season that Hamilton beat Qin Miao in a race.
That’s right, twelve Grand Prix races into the season, this was Hamilton’s first victory over Qin Miao...
Though luck played a part, skill is indeed a component of luck.
After greeting Hamilton, Qin Miao, Verstappen, and Hamilton comnced the post-race activities.
Notably, after the post-race interview, when Qin Miao and Hamilton returned to the waiting area behind the podium, Hamilton took a sip from his water bottle and then lay down on the ground.
Qin Miao looked on in surprise, then rembered that the track temperature today averaged over 60 degrees, about the sa as the cockpit of the car.
He had only sweated a little, so it was understandable that Hamilton was sowhat overwheld...
The subsequent processes went on as usual, and there’s no need for elaboration here.
Despite the rcedes team securing second and third places, a respectable result, the atmosphere in the team garage beca tense when Qin Miao entered.
Everyone instinctively looked at Qin Miao’s expression, worried he might throw a fit over what happened on the track since the team did create significant obstacles for him today.
It wouldn’t be surprising if Qin Miao were angry upon returning.
However, contrary to the team staff’s expectations, Qin Miao smiled calmly at them and nodded before heading to his room to change.
And afterward, he cheerfully joined everyone for a photo with the P2 and P3 trophies.
Qin Miao was indeed quite angry, but knowing that throwing a fit wouldn’t help, he decided to let it go.
Might as well look past it.
Thus, the French Grand Prix ca to a close, and the Hungarian Grand Prix was up next, a week later.
After the Hungarian Grand Prix, it would be the highly anticipated sumr break for all F1 team staff and drivers.
During this sumr break, the team and Qing planned many comrcial activities for Qin Miao, taking up about half of Qin Miao’s rest ti.
Strictly speaking, this allocation of ti is quite relaxed for an F1 driver; drivers like Hamilton, with high comrcial value, might not get any rest during the entire break.
But Qin Miao flat out refused, saying he’d rather stay ho and play gas for those two weeks.
Qing didn’t mind at all, since their family doesn’t rely on Qin Miao’s agency to make money.
However, the promotional departnt at rcedes was quite frustrated.
They did arrange plenty of work for Qin Miao, but unfortunately, the contract he signed with rcedes puts the promotional departnt in a difficult position.
So, they had no choice but to accept the situation with no complaints.
After the race, Qin Miao didn’t head back to the UK this week.
Although there should be so upgrade plans for the car at the team headquarters, and there may already be new upgrades under design and developnt.
But with the Hungarian Grand Prix next week, there’s no way the team can implent the upgrades in ti.
And compared to Qin Miao, it’s evidently Hamilton who’s more invested in the new W13B.
Indeed, the new W13B, with upgraded and adjusted floor and cockpit, differs in many ways from the W13, hence the team gave it the code na W13B.
Consider it a type of reform and renewal.
