Compared to a post-race script, this seed more like a question the host personally wanted to ask Qin Miao.
Qin Miao smiled and answered, "Actually, after I fell out of the points zone and considering the damage to my car, during the red flag period, I didn’t have too many expectations for this race. My main thought, and that of my team, was to get back into the points zone and not let Hamilton widen the points gap too much.
But as you can see now, even I didn’t expect the pit stop I made earlier to have such good results.
However, if I have to say, I feel my offensive ability wasn’t fully displayed in this race. The reason I got to this position was more because of good luck."
"This is your first back-to-back championship win in your career, and you’ve expanded your points gap with your teammate Hamilton, continuing to lead the driver’s standings. Do you think you have a chance to beco the first Chinese driver to win the championship this season?"
Qin Miao was taken aback, wondering why this question was so aggressive.
Unlike the first question, Qin Miao mulled it over before answering, "The season is only halfway through, and I won this race rely because Lewis encountered an accident. I believe that if there are no accidents in the upcoming races, both Lewis and Max can catch up quickly."
"Last question, Hungary is the last race before the sumr break. Have you decided where to go for a holiday after the race ends?"
Qin Miao wasn’t as cautious answering this one, but he couldn’t really disclose all his sumr plans, so after thinking for a mont, he said, "I don’t know for now, but most likely I’ll just stay at ho and let my mind relax."
...
After Qin Miao’s interview ended, Hamilton approached Qin Miao, and the two embraced each other with smiles.
Despite Qin Miao not providing substantial help to Hamilton in this race, Qin Miao did help restrain O’Kang and Vettel, which proved that he truly wanted to assist Hamilton.
It’s just that old fox Alonso was a bit too strong.
Teammates don’t need too many pleasantries. After the hug, Hamilton asked, "After the sumr break, co by my house. There are quite a few friends who want to et you."
Actually, Qin Miao is quite the odd one out among the drivers.
Maybe other drivers practice driving and work out like Qin Miao does every day, but besides that, they also spend so ti networking and engaging in business activities.
After all, drivers are human too. After working hard to beco an F1 driver, spending countless money and energy, most people also want to earn back the money they invested during their ti as an F1 driver.
But unlike them, Qin Miao didn’t spend much money becoming an F1 driver, so during his downti, he doesn’t think about earning money back. He only focuses on improving himself and his team’s competitiveness.
So at tis, Qin Miao is more like a regular working person. His life outside of racing is very routine: fitness training, practicing, then going to the factory to help develop new car parts, even working overti, without dealing much with comrcial stuff.
Even if there are comrcial contracts, it’s mostly those that require just a likeness endorsent, where all follow-up matters don’t need Qin Miao’s attention.
While Hamilton is happy that his team’s second driver is willing to help collect data and develop the car, Qin Miao’s approach is beneficial for Hamilton. However, Hamilton, as an experienced senior, feels the need to support Qin Miao by helping him build relationships in another circle, which might co in handy in the future.
As for who are those friends of Hamilton that want to et Qin Miao?
Most of them are business and political figures from the UK, and there are quite a few celebrities.
To give a simple example, one of them includes: William Arthur Philip Louis Mountbatten-Windsor.
What? You don’t know who he is...
In our country, he has a short na: Prince William.
Still don’t know who he is?
He has a sowhat famous father, Prince Charles.
And his grandmother is quite well-known in the UK; she is the current Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom.
...
But, faced with Hamilton’s invitation, Qin Miao didn’t nod in agreent, instead saying, "I’m afraid it won’t work. I have to go back to China during the sumr break to fulfill so terms in my contracts, and the whole sumr break will probably be spent on that."
Seeing Qin Miao decline, Hamilton didn’t insist, instead saying, "China is a great place, though unfortunately, I’ve only been to Shanghai."
Qin Miao didn’t find this surprising; being an F1 driver, enjoying the spotlight and applause cos with heavy responsibilities, and even leisure and travel are greatly restricted.
Just like Qin Miao.
No matter how dominant he was in F2, going ho at night and taking Qing grocery shopping or going out with Qing, there was no worry about being mobbed.
Even if so frequent F2 viewers recognized him, they were very restrained, at most taking a photo from afar or calling out Qin Miao’s na from a distance, and when Qin Miao looked over, they’d give him a thumbs up, saying he races damn well in F2.
