How Did I Become an F1 Driver?

Actually, under normal circumstances, Monaco’s traffic laws are quite strict. After all, this country is not very large, and traffic has always been congested. Parking one’s car casually on the roadside can easily cause traffic jams.

Qin Miao’s car has been parked here for over 24 hours, and the local police in Monaco have the authority to impound and tow Qin Miao’s car directly.

However, Monaco is home to wealthy residents, which means the local police have developed the skills to observe and discern the quality of cars in front of them.

Naturally, they also know that the AMG ONE in front of them has not been released yet, and its appearance here is most likely because it’s Qin Miao’s car.

After all, Qin Miao is probably the only person in Monaco who could obtain this car so early.

The staff who came to hand over the car to Qin Miao also clearly told the inquiring police that this car indeed belongs to Qin Miao.

After hearing that it’s Qin Miao’s car, the local police officers in Monaco felt a prickling sensation on their scalps.

Because Qin Miao has an unusual relationship with the Monaco royals.

Prince William, the future prince of Monaco, is a fan of Qin Miao, often visiting Qin Miao’s home.

This sufficiently describes the relationship between Qin Miao and Prince William, not to mention that Qin Miao’s girlfriend is considered a close confidante of the Princess.

Many have photographed the Princess of Monaco and Qin Miao’s girlfriend shopping together.

The Monaco royals are virtually akin to the head of state within Monaco.

If you were to tow such a person’s car, it would be akin to submitting a resignation to your superior, and you might even end up getting your superior removed along with you.

Therefore, they had no choice but to allow Qin Miao’s car to stay here until he returned.

"I really appreciate it," Qin Miao shook the officer’s hand firmly and stated clearly, "I know my car is illegally parked here. Whatever fine I have to pay, I accept it. Just tell me how much I owe, and I will directly go to the transportation department to pay. I’m really sorry for causing you trouble."

The officer, who was internally grumbling, faced Qin Miao’s sincere apology; the resentment accumulated from watching the car all night dissipated due to Qin Miao’s honest attitude.

As a traffic officer, he had encountered numerous arrogant wealthy people and celebrities.

In contrast, someone like Qin Miao who promptly apologizes upon realizing his mistake and is willing to sincerely apologize to a working officer like himself — though he had encountered this type before, they were rare indeed.

Without a doubt, at that moment, Qin Miao’s demeanor made the officer truly believe that Qin Miao was a good person, and he had became an admirer of Qin Miao’s car.

As for Qin Miao’s motive for doing this?

Joking aside, even if Qin Miao had the privilege to act with impunity in Monaco, he wouldn’t dare to abuse it.

When it comes down to it, Qin Miao is a public figure, and there are many people watching.

Even if he wanted to do something bad using privilege, wouldn’t he need to have some backup?

"In that case, let me calculate it. Mr. Qin Miao, your AMG ONE has been parked here for over 24 hours, so the fine is 2,000 euros. Each additional hour incurs a 1,000 euro fine. In total, it’s a 12,000 euro fine. Please pay the penalty to the transportation department within five working days."

Don’t think that a 12,000 euro fine isn’t a lot for Qin Miao, but in reality, the penalty is quite heavy.

When converted, it’s nearly 100,000 yuan in fines.

This is why, despite many wealthy individuals in Monaco, the streets don’t have many people parking carelessly.

On the one hand, truly wealthy individuals have garages in their homes; on the other hand, the parking fines are exceedingly high.

Qin Miao thanked once more, "Thanks a lot, sorry for troubling you."

The officer didn’t continue the conversation on that topic but instead said, "Please wait, your car key is in our police car; I’ll go get it for you."

Qin Miao nodded.

Having purchased many cars himself, Qin Miao instinctively felt that the key for this car should be similar to the car key he was given when he bought a Ferrari, packaged in a small box.

However, when the officer returned, Qin Miao was dumbfounded because the officer was carrying a large box almost as tall as the front of the AMG ONE itself.

Though according to the officer’s movements, the box didn’t seem very heavy.

After the officer placed the box in front of Qin Miao, he said to Qin Miao, "This is the car key. The Mercedes rep handed it over to us and left directly. Now the handover is complete, we’re going back to work, have a nice day."

"Alright, thank you for your efforts."

After saying this, the officer drove away.

Leclerc, Norris, and Piastri also gathered around at this time.

"Open it and take a look," Leclerc said.

Other onlookers crowding around Qin Miao also chimed in, "Open it up, Qin Miao!"

So Qin Miao went ahead and opened the box.

Inside the carton was a black alloy box, secured by two clamps, with an AMG ONE exterior painting.

With help from Leclerc and Norris, Qin Miao pulled the black box out.

Then amidst the crowd’s watchful eyes, he opened the black box.

In front of Qin Miao lay a pair of gloves and a black box wrapped in velvet cloth. In addition, there were tools needed for changing tires on the lid of the box.
