In the beginning, Qin Miao could still earnestly listen to Toto’s lengthy speech in front of him, but upon hearing this, Qin Miao more or less knew the main purpose of Toto’s chat today.
From these words, it seed that Toto wanted to say that he could no longer compete with Hamilton on the track and had to truthfully be the second driver, doing the dirty and tiring work.
To be honest, Qin Miao felt that what Toto was saying in front of him was sowhat underhanded.
After all, Toto had previously clearly promised that he wouldn’t interfere with his competitive relationship with Hamilton, but now as Qin Miao’s performance continued to improve, Toto had proactively sought him out, asking him to yield to Hamilton on the track.
Being beaten on the track by a teammate resulting in not winning the championship.
The feeling of still being ordered by the team to let the other car win even though you can’t beat your teammate is different.
So at this mont, Qin Miao was already prepared to develop a rift with rcedes; such a double-dealing boss is not one to be loyal to, and if there’s no place for him here, there will be sowhere else, worst-case scenario he can switch teams once the contract ends.
However, Toto’s next words nearly took Qin Miao by surprise: "But if you can really defeat Hamilton on track, we won’t say much since this is a reflection of your strength; besides the drivers’ championship, we also have the constructors’ championship, and if we continue as we are this year, we will certainly achieve an unprecedented seven consecutive constructors’ championships.
But even these don’t compare to Ferrari’s 16 constructors’ championships.
So we need a stable and strong team to always have the ability to strive for victory.
And I want to emphasize one point here, my promise remains in effect, we won’t interfere with your competition with Hamilton, but you both must be responsible for each other during your competition, and it must be confined to internal, not involving external forces."
Hearing this, Qin Miao’s heart skipped a beat, although Toto did not directly say it, Qin Miao knew that Toto was hinting at him.
But Qin Miao didn’t explain anything, because there was no need to, everyone knew Qin Miao’s ability, even though there was no evidence to prove whether Qin Miao’s mistake at Silverstone was intentional or just a mistake.
Yet everyone knew the truth.
And after hearing Toto’s words, Qin Miao suddenly felt like he went from the bullied weakling to the one who was in the wrong.
Sowhat awkwardly scratching his face, Qin Miao nodded and said, "That’s right, we need to firmly prevent such situations from happening!"
Toto smiled a little, seeing Qin Miao making his stance clear, and since the purpose of coming early today to find Qin Miao was achieved, he smoothly switched to another topic, "I’m glad to see you have such thoughts, talk about your recent upgrades, I heard it’s coming offline this week?"
Seeing Toto change the subject, Qin Miao silently breathed a sigh of relief: "Yes, there’s a new floor coming offline, the new floor can recover so chanical grip lost from last season due to floor cuts, and it can to so extent alleviate the tire overheating problem caused by excessive aerodynamic downforce."
...
After drinking a cup of coffee in Toto’s office and chatting for about twenty more minutes, Qin Miao finally left Toto’s office.
After leaving, Qin Miao looked at Toto’s office and muttered to himself.
How did this pure-bred Austrian like Toto, who spends most of his working ti here in Europe, learn those roundabout ways from back ho?
anwhile, Toto looking at his closed office door, also felt a little emotional.
The paddock is quite a lting pot, back when he was eting Qin Miao privately, Qin Miao wasn’t as composed, he had the eagerness of a youth.
But now? He sowhat has the deanor of a seasoned veteran, one would not speak frankly until prompted.
Anyway, this matter finally ca to an end, and Toto pleasantly took a sip of the now slightly cool coffee, after this conversation, it’s unlikely any irreconcilable conflicts will occur between the two drivers in the team in the near future.
For the remaining ti of the morning and the entire afternoon, Qin Miao went back to his normal working state.
Simulators in the morning, helping at the team’s factory in the afternoon, then back to run simulator data.
This lifestyle continued until Sunday.
Today was a rest day, at least for Qin Miao, but while obtaining rest ti, he also received a not-so-great piece of news: after the Hungarian Grand Prix, during the sumr break, Qin Miao needs to go back ho once.
On one hand, it’s been almost three years since Qin Miao and Qing last went ho, although unspoken, both sowhat miss ho and their parents and family.
So they need to seize the sumr break to go back once, and visiting family is only part of it since due to the contract with Yili, Qin Miao needs to return ho during the sumr break to attend a promotional event, record a variety show, and shoot a comrcial.
In short, after receiving this news, Qin Miao’s sumr break might as well not exist.
Qin Miao originally wanted to resist a bit, like rescheduling these arrangents until the Japan Grand Prix.
But upon seeing the 21 season schedule, the Japan Grand Prix got directly canceled.
