How Did I Become an F1 Driver?

But after a few rounds of the game, Piastri’s idealized view of Qin Miao was completely shattered...

Now Piastri just feels that Qin Miao is an ordinary person, even a bit too much of a backstabber while playing games.

He often sneaks up from behind to attack, and Piastri himself has been sneakily killed by Qin Miao several times.

However, once the idealized image was broken, Piastri found it much more natural to interact with Qin Miao. At least he wasn’t surprised anymore when Qin Miao picked his nose or flaunted an ice cream.

After playing for a while in individual matches, they also played two rounds of team mode.

Since none of them were professionals and Qin Miao couldn’t cheat in the game, the four of them had wins and losses.

But because by the latter part of the matches they were too lazy to think about rewards, they simply decided to assign a penalty of push-ups, with the losing side doing 30 push-ups.

By the time it was four in the afternoon, when the yacht’s captain and other support staff went to work, the four still felt a bit unsatisfied.

But with the darkening sky and their trembling hands, it was clear they couldn’t continue playing.

When the captain boarded the ship and saw the soft darts scattered everywhere, he involuntarily twitched the corner of his mouth.

With the captain in place, the other support staff quickly followed onto the ship.

Seeing the mess all over the place, the support staff also twitched the corners of their mouths. However, since they were doing this job, they all had the professional conduct and skills, and quickly tidied up the deck, completing all of their duties swiftly.

During this time, the four, including Qin Miao, returned to the yacht’s entertainment room to play games.

There were many common traits among the four, aside from all being racers, they were also seasoned gamers.

Qin Miao, Leclerc, and Norris often played COD together.

And Piastri happened to play COD as well.

So the four of them decided, since the yacht hadn’t gone out to sea yet and the internet signal was smooth, and there were exactly four PS5s on Leclerc’s yacht.

The four began to play together.

However, Qin Miao wasn’t feeling so great at this moment.

Due to his upbringing, Qin Miao was accustomed to using a mouse and keyboard for FPS games, and he genuinely wasn’t used to a controller.

But crucially, Leclerc’s yacht didn’t have a keyboard and mouse, and you couldn’t buy a converter in Monaco.

So Qin Miao felt trapped.

Although capable people often find themselves in difficult situations, Qin Miao didn’t want to be in this one bit.

During the time before dinner, Qin Miao and Leclerc played the main part of the game.

But it was such a great mode for killing people, and after one round, Qin Miao couldn’t kill even a single person. The other three were playing extremely seriously, while Qin Miao was trapped in agony.

But thankfully, this time wasn’t too long.

When it was dinner time, Qin Miao couldn’t wait to toss aside his PS5 controller, not caring that the game wasn’t over yet, and headed straight for the dining room.

With one person so blatantly abandoning the game, it was no surprise that they lost that round.

The other three weren’t surprised either, as they’d been losing all afternoon.

At that time, Leclerc’s yacht also lit up all its lights, and after Leclerc communicated with the captain via intercom, the yacht raised its anchor and slowly sailed out of Monaco Port.

For the next two days, Qin Miao and Leclerc spent time playing on the yacht.

Besides fishing, the three also tried diving, table tennis, barbecuing, singing, massages, and hot springs.

In short, Leclerc’s yacht was so big with especially many entertainment projects, that the four of them basically experienced them all.

It was quite enjoyable.

The only thing that left the other three a bit dissatisfied with this holiday was that Qin Miao, every morning after waking up, would work out in the yacht’s gym for about three hours.

Sometimes people are like this, if everyone around you doesn’t plan to exercise on vacation, no matter how disciplined you are, you’ll relent a little.

But if someone around you insists on exercising, and that person is particularly outstanding, seeing them exercise makes you want to join in.

The three on the yacht felt this way.

After all, a world champion could remain so disciplined on vacation, doing it right in front of you.

If you don’t join them in the gym to train, it feels a bit like you’re letting down your profession.

However, Leclerc truly didn’t plan on working out before this trip, he just wanted to have fun for a while and relax after a year of tension.

But unexpectedly, even on vacation, Qin Miao still managed to bring mental torment.

The other two felt the same, harboring similar thoughts.

But solely because Qin Miao took the lead, the others had no choice but to follow.

This was the most awkward and uncomfortable aspect of the trip for the three drivers.

Of course, Qin Miao had no such concerns, playing when it’s time to play, and training when it’s time to train.

Sadly, happy times are always short-lived, and the two days passed in a flash.

As time went by, Leclerc’s yacht returned to Monaco Port.

After docking, under Leclerc’s arrangements and Qin Miao’s helpless gaze, the three agreed to go to Qin Miao’s home for a farewell meal.

After the meal, they would each return to their own homes.

Qin Miao wanted to refuse, but being outvoted, he had no choice but to reluctantly agree.

However, when the four left Monaco Port with their luggage, they saw an AMG ONE parked by the roadside surrounded by quite a few onlookers.

The other three were puzzled as to why such a car would appear here.

But Qin Miao thought the car’s color scheme looked so familiar, it’s not just similar to the one he ordered, it’s exactly the same.

The other three cast curious glances at the car.

After thinking for a while, Qin Miao suddenly slapped his forehead.

Damn, he remembered he asked Mercedes to deliver the car to the port, but after making that call and having so much fun with these three idiots, he completely forgot about it.

If memory serves, the car’s probably been parked here for almost two days.

Suddenly, Qin Miao felt a bit relieved, thinking if he had come any later, would the car have been towed away by the local police?

Moreover, the staff from Mercedes had probably been waiting here for quite some time, and as they went out to sea, he couldn’t receive any calls.

But when Qin Miao took out his phone, he didn’t see any missed calls from the person responsible for the handover at Mercedes.

Instead, he received a message from them.

Qin Miao didn’t have time to read it, and quickly walked over to his car.

He genuinely feared those onlookers might scratch or damage his car.

As he got closer, Qin Miao realized there was actually a local Monaco police officer maintaining order among the crowd around his car, preventing anyone from touching his new car, at most allowing them to take some photos.

Perhaps it was this police officer who had been maintaining order here all along.

Qin Miao’s appearance quickly caught the attention of the surrounding onlookers.

"Qin Miao!"

"Good morning, Qin Miao."

"Double champion!"

...

"Hello, hello," Qin Miao nodded and greeted the onlookers, then approached the police officer, shook his hand, and said, "I’m truly sorry, officer, I’ve been out to sea with Leclerc for the past two days and couldn’t come back to move my car. I’m sorry for the trouble."

The officer, clearly prepared, laughed and said, "It’s no trouble, it’s just a small task for us."

Of course, that’s what he said, but in reality, to prevent the onlookers from touching and damaging Qin Miao’s car, they had already taken turns standing guard for three shifts.
