How Did I Become an F1 Driver?-Chapter 104 - 84: A Dream of Becoming a Ferrari Driver
Chapter 104: Chapter 84: A Dream of Becoming a Ferrari Driver
Actually, Qin Miao wanted to introduce himself at this moment. Putting aside the compulsory contract given by the system, Qin Miao hoped that the other side would sign him because of his talent and capability, not because of the system’s mysterious control.
If Qin Miao didn’t have this ability, he wouldn’t overthink it, but now that he had the system at his side, he was undoubtedly confident in his skills.
However, Qin Miao was still quite young, and his skills in face-to-face interactions and on-the-spot responses were not yet fully developed. So even though he wanted to, he couldn’t quickly organize the right words to introduce himself to the other party.
But the other party took the initiative and asked, "I also know a racer of your nationality. He also studied at our Ferrari Driver Academy before. I think you might be interested in meeting him. His name is Zhou Guanyu."
Qin Miao was a bit surprised and nodded. Although he already knew Zhou Guanyu, and they could be considered friends at the moment.
However, he was really unaware that Zhou Guanyu had studied at the Ferrari Driver Academy. It seemed necessary to find some time to thoroughly look into Zhou Guanyu’s life experiences online.
"Actually, we’re sort of friends." Qin Miao nodded politely, "He is a very talented and hardworking driver. I sincerely hope that one day I can compete alongside him."
At this point, Qin Miao’s face showed a genuine smile.
And Mr. Lawson noticed the subtle expressions on Qin Miao’s face and pretended to be surprised, asking, "According to what you said, are you a driver as well? So, which driver academy are you a part of right now?"
Qin Miao thought to himself: Now comes the highlight.
"I am not currently enrolled in any driver academy."
Qin Miao clearly saw a gleam in Lawson’s eyes, and then he saw a smile on Lawson’s face, as if people were bathing in the spring breeze, "Well, Qin, would you be interested in considering our Ferrari Driver Academy?"
"To be candid, as the main person in charge of Ferrari’s youth training program, I have always had an eye for spotting talented drivers... and my eyes tell me: you have extraordinary talent."
When Lawson said this, his face was full of confidence.
Qin Miao didn’t pay much attention to the part of his speech about becoming an F1 driver, although he also wanted to drive an F1 car. However, the costs of becoming an F1 driver were not something Qin Miao was willing to incur.
But, Qin Miao had no such concerns about becoming an F2 driver. F2 drivers could drive formula cars without having to deal with interviews, events, entertaining fans, or shooting various ads as required by sponsors. There’s plenty of spare time to hone one’s skills and unwind; that was precisely the dream job Qin Miao longed for.
Despite agreeing with the compliment in his heart, as a traditional Chinese, Qin Miao subconsciously felt the need to be a little humble.
So Qin Miao humbly asked, "Aren’t you overestimating me? I’m just an ordinary person, not as excellent as you say."
In fact, Lawson didn’t understand the deep-seated humility in Chinese culture. Seeing what Qin Miao said, he thought Qin Miao was either preparing to reject him or believed he was being deceitful.
So Lawson explained, "Please don’t doubt the authenticity or professionalism of my identity. If you have doubts, when Mattia comes later, I can take you to verify my identity’s authenticity with him. Also, child, you need to trust the vision of someone who has operated in youth training for many years."
Qin Miao hurriedly waved his hands, "No, no, no, I am not doubting your identity. I’m just a bit surprised, how could you pick me out from the crowd."
Saying that, Qin Miao gestured to the many people in the P-room, "Clearly, there are so many people here, why do you think I am the talented one?"
What Qin Miao didn’t expect was that the other party didn’t explain at all. He just smiled and said, "That’s commercial secret; I can’t disclose it.
But, child, I know, I can see the lion-like pride in your heart."
Qin Miao’s expression froze for a moment, secretly complaining, what’s with these senior guys being so mystical?
"Alright then, Mr. Lawson, does this mean you want me to join the Ferrari Driver Academy?"
Lawson nodded and said, "Of course, young man. I have high expectations for your talent. I think your future achievements are limitless. Talented young people like you should attend an excellent driver academy, and our Ferrari Driver Academy has a long history, profound heritage, and has trained many famous F1 drivers. It is your best choice.
But you should also know, although I am responsible for the Ferrari Driver Academy, the academy isn’t solely under my command. I have difficulties I need to face, so when the contract is signed, there will be a series of assessments for you.
Of course, I believe these assessments won’t be difficult for you, and you’ll pass them very easily."
"So, young man, what’s your answer?" Lawson sipped some water.
Qin Miao responded without thinking, "You might not believe it, but I actually have a dream of racing in Ferrari too..."
...
Although Qin Miao and Lawson both felt the chemistry, they couldn’t sign the contract at the moment.
Ultimately, there were no facilities to test Qin Miao’s physical fitness and racing skills in the paddock. When it came time to actually sign the contract, Qin Miao would have to go to the Ferrari youth training base in Maranello, Italy, for a trial.
