As for what Hamilton might specifically think, that's anyone's guess.
But at least on the surface, when Hamilton received the bonus from the team, he seed quite happy.
As one of the few F1 teams in the paddock that not only doesn't need backing from capital investors but also makes money for shareholders, rcedes isn't stingy with drivers and is generous to all the staff, big and small, within the team.
Especially with the budget cap officially in play this year and rcedes clinching the Constructors' Championship, the team's profits have seen a growth of over 30% this year.
So there's nothing more to say—it's raining money!
So, including the bonuses for the two drivers, the total bonuses given out at this banquet added up to over 18 million US Dollars from rcedes.
Of course, this money cos from the board of directors, so it's not included in next season's budget cap.
The happiest person in this might be Qin Miao. Since he resides in Monaco, the 7 million US Dollars went straight into his pocket, without any taxes.
Once everyone received their bonuses for the year, everyone at rcedes happily went ho and enjoyed a worry-free Christmas.
Toto originally wanted to invite Qin Miao to his ho for Christmas.
After all, from Toto's understanding, Qin Miao typically doesn't celebrate these Western holidays, so he thought he could bring Qin Miao to experience the festive spirit, while also strengthening their relationship for future contract considerations.
But during a chat, Toto discovered that Qin Miao planned to head straight back ho when his preparations were completed.
So Toto put this idea on the back burner, knowing there would be many opportunities in the future.
And indeed, after his work was done, Qin Miao headed back to Monaco at the first chance he got.
He didn't even have ti to catch a al with Leclerc. After getting ho, the family quickly packed up, bought so gifts for their hotown neighbors thanks to his mom's planning, and then set off to return ho.
Luckily, Qin Miao had a private jet with enough space, otherwise transporting all these items would have been difficult.
Thanks to the 13,000-kiloter range of the Gulfstream G650, Qin Miao flew straight back ho.
And because the environnt on the plane was so comfortable, Qin Miao didn't feel any fatigue once the plane landed.
Unlike the feeling of returning ho after being abroad before, Qin Miao didn't feel such a strong sense of nostalgia this ti.
This ti, with nothing urgent to handle, the three of them just went ho and self-isolated for a week once the plane landed.
During that week, Qin Miao went a bit wild; besides his morning fitness training, he spent the rest of the ti live streaming and gaming, without even touching the simulator at ho.
It's worth ntioning that after a week of streaming, Qin Miao received over a hundred thousand in gifts.
And this was without him ever asking his viewers for gifts or thanking them for gifts during his streams.
Suffice it to say, in this day and age, as long as you have so fa, you can easily monetize your popularity and fa doing almost anything.
As for the set of six-axis simulators at Qin Miao's ho?
He never really noticed before, even thinking they were amazing and offered physical feedback.
But using the simulator he set up previously now, Qin Miao could only describe it as sluggish.
That's not the worst part; the main issue is that this simulator has a lot of feedback missing.
Racing on this equipnt not only fails to improve his skills, but it could also ruin his driving feel and instincts, so in the end, Qin Miao could only resort to playing gas.
After enjoying a comfortable week, Qin Miao took so gifts and followed Qing to her ho, prompted by his mother.
Post-landing they couldn't visit Qing's parents right away due to quarantine, but after that, it was only polite to visit.
Even though it wasn't his first ti visiting Qing's family, Qin Miao felt a bit anxious before eting her parents.
Though during the sumr break when he t Qing's parents, they weren't less than welcoming to him.
But from Qin Miao's perspective, he took their daughter abroad without much communication, and due to the pandemic, they couldn't return until the policies eased, so he worried her parents might bear so resentnt.
Once they arrived with gifts, however, her parents were very warm towards him, and Qin Miao's concern was unfounded.
Her parents were delighted upon receiving the gifts Qin Miao prepared.
Seeing this, Qin Miao sighed with relief and had a al at Qing's ho. However, he didn't stay overnight but returned to his own ho instead.
Qing decided to stay with her family since she hadn't spent much ti with them for a while.
The next day, after waking up, Qin Miao packed a few clothes and headed to Shanghai alone.
This wasn't about him going out to fool around; he was leaving because Yili wanted him to complete the contractual obligations soon.
