After saying this, Zhou Guanyu, who had just calmed his emotions, was extremely angry.
"Ahhh! Qin Miao! You’re such a jerk!!!"
Qin Miao’s small combo completely got Zhou Guanyu’s defenses down.
"Stop joking around, there’s still some time before dinner, get online and let’s play some games."
"Coming! But do you remember how many times you can team-kill in FPL before you get kicked out?"
After Qimeng finished handling her own matters, Qin Miao also chatted with her about his situation. However, the girl’s reaction wasn’t as intense as Zhou Guanyu’s upon hearing Qin Miao’s words.
Qin Miao didn’t mind, he discussed the details of his contract with Qimeng, and after ironing out the details, the day’s time was over.
The next day, Qin Miao needed to report back to the team to start training.
Qin Miao’s work wasn’t much and didn’t require him to be in the team’s factory with engineers developing new parts like an F1 driver would.
The main content of Qin Miao’s work was to maintain his car together with Sui Wentao and others to understand the role of car components on the track.
Besides, there was also driving skill training, watching other people’s excellent driving footage and such.
But judging by Qin Miao’s lap times at the Red Bull Ring... basically, it’s only those F1 drivers’ laps that are worth watching for him, but the car Qin Miao is driving is different from an F1 car, so watching doesn’t really serve as a reference.
Therefore, after the first course ended, Qin Miao found himself a bit dumbfounded that his day’s work was over.
Since he didn’t want to leave work early, Qin Miao simply took Sui Wentao’s unused laptop and watched a movie.
Playing games in the temporary P room was a bit too blatant, so Qin Miao didn’t push his luck; he just watched a movie. If asked, he could say he was examining whether the car chase scenes in the movie could be learned from.
This state lasted for two days, until Thursday.
Today was supposed to be the day for track walking, but since two Grand Prix events were held consecutively at the Red Bull Ring and it had been run a week ago with no refurbishments, the track walk was canceled.
Today was the day for Qin Miao to sign a contract with Ferrari, and Qimeng found two professional lawyers in the UK through Zhou Guanyu’s connections to handle the contract matters.
The whole process was uneventful, and the contract content wasn’t much different from what Qin Miao and Binotto had discussed, but quite a few people came from the Ferrari F1 team,
including the F1 team principal Binotto, racing director Mekis, chassis chief Resta, and power department head Gautier.
Basically, all the top-level faces from the Ferrari F1 team were present, as Qin Miao was clearly a very special presence to them.
Originally, the term of this contract was three years, meaning it would take effect from 2021 and last until 2024.
But because Qin Miao’s requests in this contract were somewhat unconventional, in the end, the Ferrari board compressed this contract, which leaned more towards a betting agreement, into one year.
If Qin Miao performed well in this year, Ferrari wouldn’t mind paying a high price to keep him, and they were confident, because apart from Ferrari, basically no team would allow their official driver to skip media activities. Latest content published on noⅴelfire.net
If the performance was decent but not as fantastic as expected, then Qin Miao would have to obediently stay in Ferrari as a second driver, stop being so arrogant, and face the necessary work and interviews calmly.
For Qin Miao, a one-year contract wasn’t bad either; it meant he could drive under low pressure and low exposure for a year.
After signing the contract, both parties were pleased and then took their respective contracts home.
Qin Miao originally thought his life would return to normal after returning to the hotel and that he’d have at least half a year’s worth of leisure time.
But in the afternoon, Qin Miao was called to the paddock by a call from Binotto.
When Qin Miao arrived, Binotto didn’t assign any other tasks to him, knowing that F2 drivers had plenty of free time, which most used for studying or practicing their racing skills.
But Qin Miao was different; all he lacked was a Super License to step into F1.
Basically, there wasn’t much room for improvement left.
Binotto figured there wasn’t any point in letting Qin Miao idle at home, so he brought him in to familiarize himself with the specific preparations for each Grand Prix of the Ferrari F1 team.
After all, since Qin Miao was just idle, getting him to move around and see more could expand his knowledge.
