How Did I Become an F1 Driver?

Chapter 123: Chapter 93: The Dream of Joining Ferrari’s Junior Program Fulfilled Today

Originally, before the game started, the two said, "We brothers are definitely going to dominate the paddock!"

But after entering the game, they found that the difficulty was reduced. After two laps, they were at least 2 seconds ahead of the other AIs, and as long as they didn’t make mistakes, they couldn’t be overtaken by the AI behind.

Naturally, the two, who were initially united against a common enemy, inevitably turned on each other.

Is it safe to say that it’s no wonder they were both recognized by the Ferrari youth training? They both have the heart to crush their teammates.

The race wasn’t long, only five laps, and as they battled it out, they kept spitting teasing insults at each other to mess with each other’s mindset.

Due to driving more relaxed, both made quite a few mistakes.

But even with mistakes, the AI behind couldn’t catch up, and the one in the lead would deliberately slow down, waiting for the one behind to catch up, then start another swearing tussle.

After finishing the race, satisfying their cravings, they ran over to play CSGO on the computer, under the bemused gaze of Qimeng, who was reading a psychology book not far away.

Of course, before long, even this young lady was persuaded by Qin Miao to join them at the computer desk.

Even though only two computers were just installed, Qin Miao promptly downloaded the games he frequently played.

Although it wasn’t in an internet cafe, for some reason, sitting in line together, Qin Miao always felt like he was gaming in an internet cafe with his good friends.

The night was long, and the three of them played CSGO together for a solid four hours, dominating most of the time.

In the last match, Qin Miao and Zhou Guanyu ranked Earth, while Qimeng ranked Eagle.

The Earth rank is roughly equivalent to the highest contender rank in LOL, but there is no limit on the number of people in Earth.

Satisfied, they shut down the computer. Qin Miao turned to Zhou Guanyu and said, "Hungry, how about some late-night snacks?"

"Let’s do it! I’m familiar with this place, let’s go buy some and eat." Zhou Guanyu was a bit hungry too. He normally didn’t have the habit of eating late-night snacks, but as the saying goes: Close association with bright people makes one bright, just as close association with dark people makes one dark.

With Qin Miao around, there was no worry about Zhou Guanyu not picking up bad habits.

Along the way, they naturally joked around and chatted about their brilliant moves in the game.

They didn’t buy hot food; Zhou Guanyu merely took Qin Miao to a nearby Chinese supermarket to buy some instant noodles and ham, the kind common in China.

Instant noodles that sold for five yuan at home were priced at a shocking five euros here.

However, Qin Miao felt that it was fine as long as he could buy them. After all, he was used to living in China and suddenly moving abroad. At first, he could accept eating these foreign foods occasionally, but after a while, he really missed the taste of his hometown’s food.

It’s just a kind of ineffable homesickness.

After returning to Zhou Guanyu’s home, they naturally got busy preparing the instant noodles, and soon the three of them were enjoying their late-night snacks.

After eating, Qimeng tidied up a bit, and then everyone said goodnight and went back to their rooms to rest.

After all, it was already very late by then.

No words were exchanged that night.

Qin Miao was awakened by the sound of a phone call the next morning.

When he first woke up, Qin Miao thought someone was looking for Qimeng, as generally, people didn’t call him actively.

But when he picked up the phone, intending to hand it to Qimeng, he realized, damn, it was his phone...

Forcing his eyes open to look at the caller ID, Qin Miao instantly woke up.

He untangled himself from Qimeng, sat up in bed, and answered the call.

"Good morning, Mr. Lawson."

On the other end, Lawson’s tone was gentle, without any realization that he had disturbed Qin Miao’s rest, warmly greeting, "Qin, good morning, I hope I didn’t interrupt your rest?"

Qin Miao glanced at the time displayed on Qimeng’s phone, 6:39 am, and his mouth twitched instinctively.

But since this person would be his superior in the future, even if he did really disturb his rest, Qin Miao couldn’t voice it: "No, Mr. Lawson, I just woke up myself."

"That’s good. It’s like this, I apologize for disturbing your rest as I saw your performance in Silverstone with the F3 yesterday," Lawson continued in a friendly tone, "After our assessment, you’re no longer considered just a regular driver. I believe Ferrari needs to show some sincerity towards such a talented driver like you."

"So I have personally brought the contract specially prepared for you to the UK. When are you available so we can discuss the contract in private?"

Typically, Lawson wouldn’t be so proactive, even if faced with a genius driver like Leclerc again.

But coincidentally, Lawson mistakenly thought Qin Miao was in contact with Renault.

Mr. Lawson could accept Renault’s youth training gaining a genius driver like Leclerc, and he could accept a talented driver slipping away from his grasp.

But he couldn’t allow a genius driver slipping away from his grasp to turn around and join Renault’s youth training.

After all, with Zhou Guanyu already setting the standard, if Qin Miao was added, having two consecutive drivers leave Ferrari and join Renault, wouldn’t the rumors in the paddock fly?

So to be safe, he personally flew to the UK, taking with him a highly sincere contract to discuss personally with Qin Miao.
