"I am extrely honored to join the rcedes team. Of course, joining rcedes inevitably brings so pressure upon , as it’s a very successful team and has been the best over the past few seasons. But I believe in my abilities, and I know the team will provide with the best support and resources to perform my best on the track. My goal is to win as many victories as possible for the team and contribute to achieving the team’s and driver’s championship."
"Qin, so people are comparing you to Verstappen now, and are debating whether you have the sa talent as Verstappen. What would you like to say about that?"
"I think everyone is unique and cannot be completely like soone else. While Verstappen is an outstanding driver, I believe I also have my uniqueness and talent. I will continue to work hard to discover my potential and constantly improve my skills. Ultimately, I believe my achievents will also be unique and incomparable to others."
...
From Qin Miao’s responses, it is clear that soone is coaching him from behind, pretty much like reading diplomatic rhetoric, a typical official response.
But at a press conference, this is usually the kind of scripted talk.
Despite joining rcedes and having a good record in F2, Qin Miao remains fairly unknown in the F1 paddock. So people know him, but they are still in the minority.
Therefore, during events like this, it’s best not to create any fuss, stay low-key, and focus on completing the tasks assigned by the team.
Half an hour later, Qin Miao’s work with rcedes was completed, and the journalists got the material and commission they needed, everyone leaving happy, all looking forward to bright futures.
After the press conference, Qin Miao hurriedly took off his racing suit.
Undeniably, the suit fits very well, but for heat insulation and fire prevention, the suit isn’t very breathable. Wearing it for too long can indeed feel hot.
Moreover, with heating supplied throughout the press conference, Qin Miao’s back was sweating, which was understandable.
After the eting ended, Qin Miao took Qing to his office, and after resting for a while, Toto led him to get acquainted with the team mbers he would need to work with in the future.
Today was Qin Miao’s signing ceremony with rcedes, coinciding with the day before the New Year’s holiday. Whether it was rcedes’s executives or the team’s technicians, everyone was in the team today, making it a perfect opportunity to et everyone.
The F1 team is different from the F2 team, with the number of tire changers alone multiplying several tis.
The F2 tire team has just seven people, while F1 has a total of twenty-one, three tis that of F2.
This includes four gunners, eight tire handlers, two stabilizing the car body, four jack technicians (two for regular work, two backups), one signaler, and two people temporarily adjusting the car’s front wing angle.
These tire changers are actually all part-ti, like in F2, they are actually team technicians responsible for car maintenance, repair, tuning, and upgrades.
As the later service recipient, this is indeed the best ti for Qin Miao to et and get acquainted with them.
Having known this scene would occur today, Qing specially prepared small gifts for everyone, worrying that the number of team mbers might exceed expectations, so she prepared many gifts.
Of course, none of them were the sa.
Among the gifts Qin Miao saw were professional racing gloves, racing models, small helt rchandise for racers, scale-reduced F1 tires, and vouchers for Lego and racing simulator equipnt...
At 3 p.m., all rcedes team technicians were ready, and with one call from Toto, Qin Miao was brought over.
To avoid keeping his future colleagues waiting, Qin Miao quickly jogged to the team workshop.
anwhile, Qing borrowed a trailer to transport the gifts over.
From the phone call to arriving at the eting spot, Qin Miao took at most a minute.
Upon reaching the team assembly workshop, Qin Miao saw through the glass door that there were already many people standing inside.
Seeing Qin Miao appear behind the glass door, they all began clapping and smiling, waiting for Qin Miao to push the door open and co in.
The most crucial mont was when Qin Miao not only saw Toto inside but also saw Hamilton.
Even though Old Man expressed unfavorable opinions about Qin Miao when news spread in the paddock about Qin joining rcedes, this didn’t stop him from welcoming the newcor after Qin truly joined rcedes.
Qin Miao, feeling sowhat overwheld, pushed the door open.
As soon as Qin Miao stepped into the assembly workshop, the initial applause erupted into a wave of cheers.
There were even whistles.
Once Qin Miao entered, Toto stepped forward, shook Qin Miao’s hand, and said:
"I am Toto Wolff, Executive Director and Team Leader of the rcedes Petronas F1 Team. Welco aboard, I hope we have a pleasant collaboration ahead."
Seeing Toto solemnly introduce himself, Qin Miao quickly snapped back to respond seriously:
"Sa here, glad to be working with all of you..."
"Jas Allison, Chief Technical Officer, welco aboard."
