How Did I Become an F1 Driver?

This is completely a child.

But for some reason, Toto missed the Qin Miao who was in Ferrari’s youth training program 20 years ago.

Back then, Qin Miao was really easy to communicate with; a three-year long professional contract could be negotiated in just a few words.

Unlike now, Qin Miao’s driver contract dragged on from last year to this year, and he is cautious about the bait thrown out, doesn’t fall for it, and shows no other reactions.

Sighing a bit helplessly internally, Toto said, "It shouldn’t take too long, we have already applied for the school’s qualifications, the funds are ready, now we just need to choose a suitable location then start preparing the school’s design to recruit teachers. If everything goes quickly, it could be done within two years, with the opening in the third year."

Qin Miao’s mouth twitched, three years later is just when his daughter turns nearly three. If the team’s school starts late, his daughter will be exactly three years old, reaching the age to attend the junior class of kindergarten, and that would be when the school opens for business...

If at the beginning, Toto Wolff still kept some things secret and didn’t get straight to the point.

Now it’s completely like the calculating beads have smashed into Qin Miao’s face.

Scratching his head, Qin Miao said, "So fast? I thought something as big as the school would take at least five to six years to plan."

Toto laughed and said, "Since it’s a benefit for the team’s staff, we don’t need to consider revenue issues, so many processes can be simplified. We only need to ensure the students’ safety and educational quality."

"So, after hearing about the team’s great benefits, have you thought about letting your child attend the team’s school in the future?"

After talking about the benefits of the team, Toto began his gentle persuasion.

To be honest, Toto’s employee benefits have indeed enticed Qin Miao a bit. After all, thinking about his own child, Qin Miao would certainly want to provide the best educational resources and also hope to have enough time to be with the child outside work. However, for Qin Miao who travels around the world all year round, these are not easy things.

And Qin Miao can’t possibly take his daughter traveling around the world with him.

When she’s young it’s not a problem, but when she grows up she definitely needs to go to school.

So it must be said, the move by Mercedes definitely has something to it.

"Of course, with such good conditions, I don’t think I have any reason to refuse, but this probably still requires waiting, my child hasn’t even been born yet." Qin Miao shrugged.

Upon hearing Qin Miao’s words, Toto only smiled and didn’t say anything explicitly.

The school indeed needs to spend a considerable amount of money and is even quite troublesome.

But despite this, the school created by the Mercedes team after going through many hardships doesn’t actually play a decisive role in the negotiation with Qin Miao, it’s just an added bonus.

But it indeed is a benefit prepared by Mercedes for the team’s staff, eliminating their worries.

After all, the primary purpose of providing more benefits to the staff is to retain the team’s talents.

Qin Miao is a talent, and so are the team’s designers and engineers.

It’s a long-term investment with dual benefits.

Surely, it can also gain a lot of attraction and impression points during negotiations with drivers who have children.
