How Did I Become an F1 Driver?

Chapter 1089 - 414: King of the Children (6K, Extra 14/19)

Even if you become a bit lazy because of long racing competitions, after a short break, you can easily regain that initial thrill.After returning home, Qin Miao’s routine and daily life became regular, but while working at the team, the staff from other teams always looked at Qin Miao somewhat oddly.

Qin Miao also knew the reason for those looks, because someone, without knowing which bastard, had released something he once said during a live broadcast.

Back then, someone had asked via bullet screen if Qin Miao would join Geely after Geely entered the race, and Qin Miao was already a bit impatient with this question.

So Qin Miao answered perfunctorily at the time: "We’ll see."

Then, this comment by Qin Miao was over-interpreted, and rumors began to spread wildly in the paddock that Qin Miao would immediately switch to Geely after his contract with Mercedes ended.

Toto didn’t call to ask about it, after all, he had already spoken with Qin Miao, and Qin Miao had given him a definite answer.

But many people still believed the rumors in the paddock, thinking that Qin Miao would join Geely after 2023.

Now the paddock is filled with such rumors.

To be honest, Qin Miao felt quite helpless about it.

Qimeng and the others are preparing to issue an open letter to clarify the situation to prevent the issue’s impact from spreading, also for the sake of Geely and Mercedes, so they must explain this matter quickly.

The reason for this is that Qin Miao’s commercial value ranks high among all drivers in the paddock.

On one hand, it’s because he is the reigning world champion, and on the other hand, it’s due to the huge Chinese market behind him.

So if news broke now that Qin Miao would join Geely, Old Stroll, being a shrewd businessman, would definitely raise the price in negotiations with Geely, knowing Qin Miao’s current weight and commercial value.

For Mercedes, rumors of Qin Miao’s imminent departure would certainly cause a huge drop in peripheral product sales.

It could also affect Mercedes car sales.

And it would have a significant impact on Qin Miao’s public image.

So when issuing this statement, it must be done very carefully without leaving any loopholes.

After working in the team for four days, on Saturday morning, Qin Miao boarded a plane back to Monaco.

After arriving in Monaco, Qin Miao initially wanted to rest for a day, but somehow the Monaco royal family knew Qin Miao was back and called him, saying Princess Charlene would bring Prince William to visit Qin Miao’s home.

Wearing just a pair of shorts and bare-chested, Qin Miao felt a bit annoyed after receiving this text message.

Damn, I finally get some time to rest, and all sorts of things come up!

But since the landlord wants to come to your home for a meal and has granted you significant convenience in terms of rent.

So Qin Miao could only agree.

After all, they are royal members, and naturally, Qin Miao couldn’t be rude, so today Qin Miao personally cooked to entertain the two.

Since Qin Miao cooked today, after the meal, the task of cleaning up fell to Qimeng.

Qin Miao was responsible for entertaining the mother and son.

After chatting with the princess, Qin Miao was surprised to learn that the reason they came was mainly due to Prince Jacques’s request.

"That’s right, I came specially to congratulate you on your wins at the British Grand Prix and the Austrian Grand Prix!" Prince Jacques, sitting on Qin Miao’s left thigh, said earnestly, looking at Qin Miao.
