How Did I Become an F1 Driver?-Chapter 126 - 94: All Good Things Must Come to an End
Once Lawson left with the contract, Qimeng curiously picked up the copy left for Qin Miao and began to read it with interest.
Meanwhile, the other lawyers and notaries were watching Qin Miao with curiosity.
Although their profession prevents them from probing too much, it doesn’t hinder their curiosity about this young man joining the Ferrari youth training program in front of them.
Qin Miao didn’t pay much attention to this, and he was even less interested in the clothes he had wanted but didn’t buy.
He slightly furrowed his brows, thinking about the promise Lawson made before leaving.
F3?
Do I really want to drive F3? 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺
Admittedly, the experience of driving an F3 is indeed wonderful.
Although the speed isn’t fast enough, the feeling of the car being pressed onto the track by the aerodynamic kit during cornering is far more thrilling than those supercars and even GT3.
But people are never satisfied; having experienced F4 and then F3, which is faster, Qin Miao inevitably wondered what driving F2 would feel like.
So Qin Miao held expectations for F2, and joining Ferrari, he hoped to have the opportunity to race a season in F2 carefree.
If possible, he wouldn’t mind spending a few more years in F2.
Apparently, a driver can spend at most five years in F2 unless they win the championship or switch to other races for some reason.
Although Qin Miao felt that his strength would eventually get him into F2 at Ferrari, why not achieve it a year early?
However, from Lawson’s words, Qin Miao vaguely sensed that he might not be immediately placed in F2.
Initially thinking he might reduce his training workload after signing the contract, Qin Miao now knew that the Ferrari internal test in a week was yet another major exam in his life.
If he performed well, he might directly move to F2; if not, he’d race in F3 for a year and then see if any F2 teams needed drivers, allowing him to step up.
Unbeknownst to him, a sense of urgency lingered over Qin Miao’s mind.
After collecting himself, Qin Miao returned to Zhou Guanyu’s home with his clothes and Qimeng.
By then, Zhou Guanyu was already awake, and although Qin Miao had left him a note, Zhou Guanyu didn’t know exactly where Qin Miao and Qimeng had gone.
So when they returned, Zhou Guanyu pointed out the prepared bread and milk and asked curiously, "Where did you go? You left so early."
Qin Miao placed the red box in front of Zhou Guanyu, pulling Qimeng to wash their hands while answering, "Open the box and see what’s inside, and you’ll understand."
Zhou Guanyu wiped his hands before opening the red box with curiosity.
What appeared before Zhou Guanyu was a familiar Ferrari youth training team uniform.
Raising his eyebrows, Zhou Guanyu asked, "You went to get the uniform?"
After washing his hands, Qin Miao returned to his seat and briefly told Zhou Guanyu about the morning’s events, then asked puzzledly, "Why was Lawson in such a hurry this time?"
Zhou Guanyu thought for a moment, then pointed at himself in front of the two: "Because of me."
Qin Miao: ??
Qimeng: ??
Facing their puzzled looks, Zhou Guanyu shrugged and said, "I went to Renault after falling out with Ferrari."
He didn’t elaborate much, but just this sentence was enough to open Qin Miao and Qimeng’s vision.
Zhou Guanyu defected from Ferrari to Renault, so in Ferrari’s eyes, with Zhou Guanyu and Qin Miao being close, Qin Miao was likely already in contact with Renault.
Plus, Lawson mentioned Qin Miao’s performance during the conversation, indicating Ferrari hurriedly signed Qin Miao out of fear that he might leave.
Though Zhou Guanyu wasn’t particularly fond of Ferrari’s youth training, he was sincerely happy for Qin Miao, knowing Qin Miao was following the same path as him.
On one hand, his friend had a promising future; on the other, he was no longer alone in Europe.
Although the day-to-day staff and other drivers acknowledged Zhou Guanyu’s abilities, recognizing one’s skills and recognizing the person are not the same.
Europeans haven’t let go of their ingrained arrogance, so in daily life and training, Zhou Guanyu not only faced training pressure but also loneliness.
Indeed, although many could converse with Zhou Guanyu and he could learn a lot from others, he hadn’t found anyone he could truly confide in while abroad.
But everything was different now, thanks to Qin Miao.
After confirming Qin Miao had truly joined Ferrari, Zhou Guanyu felt genuine happiness.
"Congratulations, but it’ll probably be another year before we can compete on the same stage," Zhou Guanyu joked with a hint of regret.
While eating, Qin Miao rolled his eyes, "Who are you underestimating?"
He patted the box from Lawson, "This is the attitude earned by my abilities.
If my abilities weren’t strong, even if I were really in contact with Renault, Ferrari wouldn’t have reacted so strongly."
