Aside from the sprint race at the British Grand Prix, lacking a trophy, Qin Miao’s trophy from the Austria Grand Prix itself was sowhat incongruous because it was a runner-up trophy.
And the championship trophy from that race was in Zhou Guanyu’s hands.
...
On December 31st, Qin Miao and Qing arrived at the rcedes factory once again.
Today, the dia reception hall at the rcedes factory was buzzing with people, packed to the brim with journalists wielding cara equipnt, leaving no room to step foot.
Everyone was waiting for today’s protagonist to make an appearance.
And today’s protagonist, Qin Miao, was getting dressed backstage.
At that mont, Qin Miao was a bit clumsy as he donned a black rcedes racing suit, with Qing assisting by his side.
Sponsor advertisents were plastered over every corner of this racing suit, but thanks to ingenious design and reasonable layout, these ads not only didn’t appear abrupt on the suit but rather fit perfectly, looking very coordinated.
There was no driver number on Qin Miao’s racing suit; only on his waist did his pinyin na and the flag representing his nationality appear.
The data for this outfit was actually obtained when Qin Miao went to retrieve the speech for the FIA award ceremony last ti; it had been prepared for him so ti ago.
This is a complete racing suit, fireproof and insulated, the kind that you can directly wear into a race; however, without a driver number, the outfit doesn’t et FIA’s requirents for racing attire.
After putting on the suit, Qin Miao stretched his limbs a bit and took the helt rcedes had prepared for him.
It was a red helt, matching the shade of the national flag, but considering the dostic national flag law, and since Qin Miao’s helt would feature personal sponsors’ ads along with those of rcedes, the flag wasn’t painted directly. Instead, the colors of the flag and five yellow stripes were used.
On the helt’s forehead, a rcedes logo took the center position, indicating the identity of the driver wearing it.
Embracing the helt for a closer look, honestly, the design was very good, Qin Miao really liked it.
The helt, just like the racing suit, was prepared in advance by rcedes for Qin Miao.
While Qin Miao was closely examining his helt, Toto, in a white rcedes team uniform, walked in.
"Ready?"
Qin Miao turned around:
"Ready."
Upon seeing Qin Miao in the rcedes racing suit, Toto’s eyes lit up.
Qin Miao’s looks could only be considered average, but over ti, along with intentional grooming by Qing, Qin Miao now could be called sowhat handso.
Coupled with a purposely styled hairdo and recent enhancents in his own charisma, he seed full of energy and very confident.
After putting on the rcedes racing suit, Qin Miao’s overall aura had another level of improvent; in Toto’s current view, Qin Miao now looked really impressive.
"Since you’re ready, let’s go, it’s ti to make an appearance."
Nodding, Qin Miao lifted his helt and followed Toto, the two walking one after the other towards the dia greeting hall.
Upon seeing them approach, rcedes’ marketing director smiled and nodded at them, then proceeded to push the door open, starting the warm-up for the scene.
"Nervous?"
During the waiting period for the warm-up, Toto asked Qin Miao, turning his head.
Listening to the buzzing sounds behind the door, Qin Miao instinctively wiped the sweat on his palms, unsure if it was from nerves or if the suit was too warm.
"A little bit."
Toto comforted:
"This is actually quite similar to the interview sessions after each of your races; just say what you want, and if you’re lost for words, we’ll cover for you."
With that, Toto handed Qin Miao a half-transparent wireless earpiece.
...
Along with the applause from the conference hall, a voice ca from the entrance: "Please warmly welco Qin Miao, Toto!"
"Let’s go."
Amidst Toto’s greeting, Qin Miao and Toto walked out from behind the scenes, stepping to the front of the stage.
The mont Qin Miao appeared with his helt, all the reporters focused their caras on him and Toto. Though there were no flashes, the shutter sounds didn’t cease since their appearance.
Even more lenses focused on Qin Miao, the F2 world champion who shone through Ferrari’s youth program and eventually joined rcedes after all the twists and turns.
It’s interesting to note that to this day, the only genius driver from Ferrari’s youth program serving Ferrari’s F1 team is Leclerc.
Other Ferrari recruits at other teams in the field...
Once Qin Miao and Toto took their seats amid applause, Toto opened with a brief introduction, then announced to all the journalists Qin Miao’s joining and officially activated the contract on the spot.
Then there were photos, with Qin Miao choosing the number 66 as his driver number, sticking it on his helt and racing suit.
The number 66 didn’t hold much special aning; it was purely Qin Miao, as a gar, would often say "6" when others perford well.
So, Qin Miao picked 66 as his number.
It’s intriguing that now rcedes’ three drivers’ numbers are 44, 66, and 77.
Next ca the journalists’ favorite Q&A session.
"Mr. Qin Miao, will joining a team like rcedes right after graduating from F2 pressure you? Considering rcedes’ capability, their ultimate goal for the 2021 season is a double championship for the team and driver."
