Chapter 1559: Chapter 569: FIA: I’m Dominating the Race!

Qin Miao, after all, has been through the ups and downs within the paddock for quite some time, so his basic ability to manage expressions is still intact.

So even though Qin Miao felt speechless at the moment, he managed to mask it well.

"Indeed, a lot of unexpected incidents happened on the track, and the result of this race was not up to our expectations. But at this point, all we can do is go back after the race and do a thorough review to see what areas we can improve."

This is just a standard formulaic response, not particularly interesting, but reliable.

"We noticed you made a mistake and went off the track at T1. Can you tell us what exactly happened at that moment?"

Qin Miao sighed, "To be honest, I’m not quite sure what exactly happened at that time, but personally, I feel I was probably blown away by the wind."

"Blown by the wind?" The host seemed a bit surprised.

After all, the host in charge of the interview today wasn’t someone like Kurt Hade, who has been a driver before, so they naturally don’t know how nasty it is to be blown by a gust of freak wind on the track.

Qin Miao explained, "At that time, my car was in an extreme state, but I felt I could brake. However, for some reason, my car suddenly caught a gust of wind from nowhere behind, causing me not to brake."

"I can only say I had some bad luck in today’s race."

"Now I just hope luck in the second half of the season won’t be like today’s race."

...

After the interview ended, Qin Miao tidied up a bit and headed to the lounge upstairs to wait for the victory ceremony.

As soon as he went up, Qin Miao saw Leclerc standing with hands on hips in the small dark room, watching the replay of the race phase on the screen.

Qin Miao went over to change his hat and drink water, and he glanced at the screen.

And at this moment, the footage just happened to be the scene of Qin Miao battling with Leclerc on the track.

Qin Miao didn’t sit down, he just stood next to Leclerc, watching the footage together with him.

Seeing Qin Miao on the track after Qin Miao completed an overtake on Leclerc, Leclerc tilted his head and said to Qin Miao beside him, "You damn guy, you’re so damn good at seizing opportunities. If it weren’t for your interference, I definitely could’ve overtaken Verstappen on the track at that time."

Qin Miao sneered, "Without my interference, you still couldn’t overtake him. I don’t know how fast he is?"

Leclerc nodded, "Fine, even if I couldn’t get Verstappen, after reaching the long straight after starting, if not for that safety car, you definitely wouldn’t have been my match."

Qin Miao didn’t refute this moment.

After all, the power of the Ferrari car is indeed quite scary.

At that time, Leclerc still had his DRS, and Qin Miao wasn’t sure how much ERS charge Leclerc had left; however, his own car’s battery charge was down to single digits.

"It’s uncertain who would win, and this is just the race. What’s past is past, no discussion can change the final outcome." Qin Miao defensively replied.

It’s unclear why, but Qin Miao and his friends always became habitually defensive.

"Just like how you got bumped by Verstappen, right?"

Qin Miao: ?

"You son of a ****! Get lost!"

...

After the two had a scuffle, they both quieted down, and Qin Miao returned to his seat.

Leclerc didn’t persuade Qin Miao to do anything.

Right now, Leclerc really had nothing to say; should he tell Qin Miao to be more magnanimous?

Impossible, it wasn’t Qin Miao’s fault that he lost the race win.

Should he tell Qin Miao to get revenge?

Even more impossible, Leclerc understands Qin Miao isn’t that type of person.

So after sitting down, Leclerc said nothing further; he just sat beside Qin Miao watching the broadcast screen in the small dark room.

And coincidentally, the broadcast screen in the small dark room soon played the footage of Qin Miao’s collision with Verstappen on the track.

At this time, Verstappen had already completed his post-race interview and came up from below.

He happened to see this playback on the broadcast screen.

Pan walked over to his position pretending nothing happened, and began packing his things.

Qin Miao and Leclerc exchanged glances, but Leclerc gently shook his head at Qin Miao.

Although Leclerc didn’t know what Qin Miao wanted to do, given the current situation, it’s best not to make any trouble, especially with so many cameras watching here.

Actually, Qin Miao had no intention to cause trouble either; his glance at Leclerc meant: look, this bastard who bumped me, acts like nothing happened, how hateful.

After Verstappen arrived, Qin Miao and Leclerc stopped exchanging any words.

With Verstappen present there, awkward silence was almost inevitable.

Qin Miao behaved relatively calmly, at least when Verstappen came over, he didn’t throw his hat at him.

Subsequently, as the drivers on the podium finished their preparations, three drivers consecutively stepped onto the podium to receive their awards.

There’s no need to elaborate on the going up and trophy receiving section, what’s worth mentioning is that during the champagne spraying, Qin Miao unusually raised his champagne and took a huge sip.

After drinking, Qin Miao smacked his lips, finding the taste actually okay, with a hint of fruity aroma.
