For Qin Miao’s articulate answer, even carrying a touch of hometown accent, many people felt a sense of recognition after seeing it. This is a child who has gone out into the world from their own country, with a strong Chinese imprint.
[Although Qin Miao is indeed strong in racing, after all, he is still a nineteen-year-old who has just come of age, so it’s normal for him to care about external praise, right?]
[When Qin Miao first entered F1, I even doubted him... He probably won’t see my comments, right? Should I bow online to Qin Miao and apologize now?]
[Am I the only one paying attention to the girl Qin Miao picked up and kissed? Is she Qin Miao’s girlfriend? She’s quite good-looking.]
[The girl is named Qimeng, seems to be Qin Miao’s high school classmate, and they got together right after graduating high school.]
[I also want a sweet love that starts from school days]
After this, Qin Miao’s interview basically came to an end. Amid Qin Miao’s business-like smile and the host’s congratulations, Qin Miao finished his interview, greeted his team’s staff, and then walked to the podium upstairs.
After waiting for a while in the preparation room, Verstappen went out under the introduction of the host and stepped onto the podium for third place, followed by Hamilton.
Finally, with the host deliberately stretching the tone, Qin Miao emerged from backstage wearing the Pirelli Champion Hat amid the huge cheers of the team staff beneath the podium.
This time following Qin Miao was not Frankie, but Qin Miao’s chief technician Reyes.
Standing on the highest podium, looking at the crowd applauding for him, Qin Miao couldn’t hide the smile on his face.
Due to the angle, Qin Miao could also see the Ferrari team’s command center from here and saw Binotto standing by the command center, also looking at him and gently clapping for him.
Qin Miao slightly nodded over there, uncertain if Binotto could see his action.
However, after nodding, Qin Miao withdrew his gaze and looked at the team members below the podium.
After a smile, the scene gradually quieted down, the bright five-starred red flag appeared behind Qin Miao, followed by the playing of "The March of the Volunteers."
Upon hearing the national anthem, Qin Miao also put away his smile, solemnly took off his hat, and sang the national anthem in sync with the melody.
Just like during his F2 days, whenever he took the stage as a champion, Qin Miao would always sincerely finish singing the national anthem.
After the anthem ended, Qin Miao put his hat back on and then started accepting the awards.
The Imola Grand Prix champion’s trophy is somewhat similar to the Malay sword in CF, but without a cutting edge, it’s overall broader and silver in color.
Qin Miao didn’t mind that this trophy had just been handled by someone else, and after receiving the trophy handed to him by the award presenter, he directly placed it beside himself and gave it a fierce kiss.
Then it was Reyes’ turn, Qin Miao’s chief technician of the car team. His presence naturally represented all the technicians in Qin Miao’s team, so when he received the trophy, Qin Miao’s team members below were shouting the loudest and happiest.
Because this trophy also belonged to them.
The trophies of Old Man and Verstappen were the same size, both being half the size of Qin Miao’s, but this was not surprising.
After the awarding ceremony, the celebration music rose again; Qin Miao bent down and skillfully grabbed the champagne in his hand, shook it effortlessly, and under the internal pressure, the drink sprayed directly out.
Laughing without a word, Qin Miao sprayed it directly at Old Man.
Old Man’s first target was naturally Qin Miao, and another person on the podium also aimed at Qin Miao. Reyes, given he was Qin Miao’s chief technician, managed to come to this position purely due to Qin Miao’s effort, and at such times he would definitely spill all his inner gratitude and recognition of Qin Miao’s strength onto Qin Miao.
So after a while, the change in Qin Miao’s clothes became visibly wet.
And Verstappen also sprayed champagne at Qin Miao for a while, but most of the liquor was poured down at the Red Bull team members.
The three of them were stirring up quite a storm on the stage, and subsequently, Qin Miao, Hamilton, and Reyes together waved to their team’s staff below and walked off the stage.
As they stepped down, the director also showed the ranking and score details of the race:
P2: Hamilton +19 (Fastest Lap)
After two races, the overall standings are as follows:
11: Gasly 2 ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by novel•fire.net

Meanwhile, domestic social media platforms have erupted with excitement. The news of Qin Miao winning his first career Grand Prix championship quickly spread, and Weibo entries like "The March of the Volunteers resounds in Italy" instantly topped the trending list.
