Chapter 939 372: New Neighbor
But I feel like I can still try this more aggressive choice, after all, in the team's simulation, red-yellow one-stop long-distance speed is always faster than yellow-white one-stop. It's just that before the race started, we didn't expect so many yellow flags and safety cars on the track. Although I feel sorry for the drivers who retired, it's undeniable that these yellow flags really helped me a lot."-----------------
Despite Qin Miao's performance being quite remarkable in this race, showing the efforts of the Mercedes team recently, ultimately, Qin Miao only secured second place. He wasn't the protagonist of this race, so after two interview questions, Qin Miao's post-race interview concluded.
After greeting Leclerc, Qin Miao went upstairs to prepare for the final podium ceremony.
Once Qin Miao left, the site resonated with enthusiastic cheers, clearly directed at Leclerc.
After Leclerc's interview concluded, the final podium ceremony began.
Qin Miao was already familiar with this routine, so let's skip ahead to the champagne spraying part.
During this segment, Leclerc revealed his darker side.
While spraying champagne, half of the bottle was aimed at Qin Miao, and throughout the process, he stood prominently on the highest first-place podium, embodying a sense of superiority.
As a result, quite a bit of champagne got into Qin Miao's collar.
However, Leclerc didn't fare much better, as both his track engineer and Qin Miao relentlessly sprayed him with champagne, leaving his fireproof racing suit soaked in no time.
After all the champagne was sprayed, the three drivers who triumphed today took a group photo together and clinked their champagne bottles, marking the end of the podium ceremony.
The scores from this race were as follows:
P1: Leclerc +26 (fastest lap)
P2: Qin Miao +18
P3: Perez +14
P4: Hamilton +12
P5: Norris +10
P6: Ricardo +8
P7: O'Kang +6
P8: Bottas +4
P9: Zhou Guanyu +2
P10: Gasly +1
After this race, the drivers' total points are as follows:
1: Leclerc.77
2: Qin Miao.42
3: Sainz.32

The team points standings are as follows:

4: Alpine.29
5: McLaren.26
6: Alfa Romeo.18
7: Haas.14
8: Toro Rosso.7
9: Aston Martin.0
10: Williams.0
Post-race, it's clear that Red Bull is positioned in a spot that doesn't belong to them, but it's evident to everyone that Red Bull is held back due to the stability of their engines. Normally, given their speed, Red Bull should be second in team standings.
After the race ended, the team packed up and returned to Europe.
However, Qin Miao's 15-lap defense against Perez drew a lot of post-race discussion among fans and experts, with many drivers declaring Qin Miao's invincibility on their social platforms.
Leclerc even candidly stated that if both he and Qin Miao were driving Ferraris, as long as Qin Miao was ahead of him, he would have no intention of attacking Qin Miao, knowing that no matter how he tried, Qin Miao would lock him behind.
When Perez saw Leclerc's comments, he was visibly frustrated, thinking it's easy for Leclerc to say with Ferrari's speed this season.
But if Qin Miao really becomes your teammate, let's see if you'd feel anxious then.
With the Australian Grand Prix concluded, the next race will be in two weeks.
Qin Miao naturally followed his usual habit, returning to Brackley once work concluded.
In the first few days, Qin Miao's work life remained stable, consisting of the same routine tasks daily.
Notably, unlike other drivers who frequently attend events, Qin Miao devoted most of his time to developing and upgrading the car with the team.
Generally, even as a world champion, this lack of interest in commercial activities can tarnish one's image among sponsors.
Over time, fewer invitations might come your way.
But Qin Miao maintained a carefree attitude, indifferent to such matters.
Oddly enough, after refusing many invitations, more invites came Qin Miao's way, with fees steadily increasing.
In certain circles, inviting Qin Miao to gatherings became a mark of prestige.
His appearance fee continued to rise with each event.
Indeed, rarity breeds value.
Thus, even on Sunday, Qimeng was still at home handling these duties.
Finally, in the afternoon, after completing her work, Qimeng emerged with an expression of exhaustion, lying on the couch beside Qin Miao, who was engrossed in playing PS5, using his leg as a pillow.
