After the race ended, Qin Miao was already leading the drivers’ standings and was a full 20 points ahead of second-place Verstappen.

Of course, for domestic fans, today’s British Grand Prix is simply a double delight.

Because aside from Qin Miao leading the drivers’ standings after today’s race, Zhou Guanyu, who finished seventh, also moved up one position on the leaderboard, rising to fifteenth and outpacing Tsunoda.

In the bones of the Chinese, you can lose in competitive sports, but if the little days are there, no matter what, you have to outpace them.

Of course, excluding the national football team, which is just a puddle of filth.

Besides, in terms of the team standings, due to the brilliant performance of Mercedes, after this race the gap between Mercedes and Red Bull is only 16 points.

After completing the post-race interviews, Qin Miao returned to the team lounge, but after Qin Miao sorted out his stuff inside the lounge, went home after work, Hamilton didn’t look for him.

Not even when Qin Miao came out of the lounge, there was no one in Hamilton’s lounge.

Qin Miao didn’t mind, after leaving the paddock, he drove his AMG GT away from the paddock.

After returning home, Qimeng had also prepared dinner at home, and Qin Miao gave him a big hug as soon as he returned.

The two who hadn’t seen each other for a long time poured out their hearts, after which Qin Miao took a bath, then had dinner while opening his phone.

Once the phone was opened, the messaging app and phone texts were filled with various greetings and congratulatory messages.

Qin Miao was already used to this, last season after winning the championship he even found these messages a bit annoying.

After all, there were too many.

But this season, after the team’s car performance became problematic, Qin Miao suddenly felt quite happy when someone congratulated him this way after the race.

However, Qin Miao couldn’t possibly have enough time to reply to each one individually.

So after replying with voice messages to those he has good relationships with, Qin Miao tossed the phone to Qimeng.

This girl wasn’t surprised either, after finishing eating when Qin Miao went to wash the dishes, she took Qin Miao’s phone and replied to friends’ blessings one by one.

However, after just sleeping briefly at home, the next day Qin Miao didn’t even have time to rest and started getting busy.

After all, the British Grand Prix is Mercedes’s home field, and this race was considered highly anticipated by millions.

So a lot of high-level officials from Mercedes came to this race, company executives, even several top persons from Daimler came.

Facing the bosses who pay him wages, Qin Miao and Hamilton naturally needed to go out with them to dine and participate in various activities.

Normally, if no good results were achieved, or if results were just okay, then Qin Miao and Hamilton wouldn’t be so busy.

But the key point is that this race brought Mercedes a first and third finish, in the driver’s standings, Qin Miao also overtook Verstappen.

This necessitated a grand celebration, although it had a hint of popping champagne halfway, but at least the team’s top brass had an account with the mother company’s execs, right?

And thus, Qin Miao and Hamilton didn’t even get a day of rest after the race.

On Monday and Tuesday, Qin Miao and Hamilton were kept busy at various activities onsite.

Qin Miao’s lifestyle continued like this until Wednesday.

In fact, tonight there was supposed to be a banquet, even with attendees that were local government officials in the UK.

But Qin Miao directly said he felt there was still a lot of room for research at the Red Bull Ring track, and heard that there cooled down, he planned to go over a day early to adapt to the local environment.

Then Qin Miao just flew away.

The team could only twitch their lips helplessly, though some more stubborn ones checked the weather and found themselves dumbfounded to discover that Austria Spielberg had been experiencing high temperatures these past few days.

But the team had no choice, Qin Miao had left, it’s impossible to fly to Austria to tie him back, right?

Moreover, there were no clauses in Qin Miao’s contract requiring him to fulfill these obligations, so the team couldn’t bring up the contract with Qin Miao.

Even if we concede a step and say there were such clauses in Qin Miao’s contract.

If he doesn’t want to attend these events, the team can’t do anything about it.

After all, the Crown Prince of Mercedes, at least the competitive guarantee of the Mercedes driver within the next five years, the team doesn’t dare to blow up at Qin Miao over these trivial matters.

The team could only apologize to these people themselves.

Once Qin Miao arrived in Austria, naturally he wouldn’t actually go to walk the racetrack, because due to the system, he precisely understood the track too well, it was just an excuse.

But after arriving at the hotel, Qin Miao didn’t dare to go out for a stroll or anything.

After all, this is Red Bull team’s home turf, given Qin Miao’s status, coming out at this time really wouldn’t be a wise move.

Plus, the level of law and order abroad depends mainly on your horoscope, if your horoscope is strong enough, then the security won’t be bad, otherwise it’s the opposite.

So that day, apart from working out in the hotel gym, Qin Miao mostly spent his time playing games in the hotel.

After a delightful day, Qin Miao knew he had to return to normal racing pace.
