How Did I Become an F1 Driver?-Chapter 867 - 346: An Old Acquaintance

However, the fans who came over this time to find Bing and others for autographs did not recognize Qin Miao.

Actually, it's understandable, because Qin Miao is fully armed at the moment, and domestic racing fans typically only see Qin Miao in F1 broadcast and interview footage, so almost no one can recognize Qin Miao by his physique alone.

Just as Qin Miao was relieved and prepared to say goodbye to the three commentators from Five-Star Sports, a few more people walked over quickly. This time, there were both men and women, and they were all young.

Obviously, like the fans who came earlier, these people had seen the three commentators from Five-Star Sports and wanted to get their signatures too.

Because of Qin Miao's performance on the F1 track, the number of F1 fans in the country has surged, and as a result, the commentators' popularity has also risen along with F1's growing reputation domestically.

So naturally, there are quite a few viewers who know the three commentators, especially here at the Shanghai track, since everyone who comes here is local.

Just when Qin Miao thought these people were just like the fans who came first, not recognizing him.

Among the group of people who came over, there was one person who kept casting a somewhat puzzled look at Qin Miao.

Actually, what initially caught his attention was the mask Qin Miao was wearing, though this type of mask isn't rare, it's still pretty hard to get hold of in the country.

Even if you can buy it online, most are counterfeit, let alone during a time when masks sell well; naturally, no one would incur extra costs to produce such flashy masks.

So he instinctively took a few more glances and noticed the fully armed Qin Miao.

Yu Jialiang couldn't help but knit his brows; this person seemed somewhat familiar.

And Qin Miao, upon noticing that gaze, observed the other party for a bit, then unexpectedly raised his eyebrows slightly.

This person looked familiar.

Quickly rifling through his memory, Qin Miao recalled the person's name.

Two years ago, when Qin Miao and Qimeng first came to Shanghai, they raced here at the track, together with this person.

After the race, that person gifted him a Ferrari 488 Pista.

Because of that, Qin Miao felt he wouldn't forget the person's name for a long time.

Yu Jialiang.

Sometimes you can't help but marvel at how unexpectedly small the world is; Qin Miao was completely taken aback that he would encounter him here.

But their relationship only lasted until the end of that race when the car was gifted.

Just like Qimeng's explanation to Qin Miao at the time, Qin Miao and the other person were not from the same world; Qin Miao had given him face, and in return, he gave Qin Miao a car that, in his view, Qin Miao couldn't afford in a lifetime, and there was nothing more between them.

Though this approach was somewhat cold, in Qin Miao's eyes at the time, the other party did nothing wrong, and it could even be said Qin Miao got a great deal.

After all, Qin Miao just ran one race at the Shanghai track and got a Ferrari 488.

The two just lost contact, but their relationship wouldn't worsen because of it.

If one day they met again, they could still smile and exchange pleasantries.

So upon seeing the other party, Qin Miao was taken aback with surprise for a moment.

On the other side, Yu Jialiang, upon seeing the three commentators from Five-Star Sports, initially wanted to come over to greet them, and if possible, to take a group photo with his friends, like the others.

But as he walked closer, he found the person beside the three Five-Star Sports commentators wearing a Mercedes mask looked familiar, very much like Qin Miao.

And as he continued to approach, Yu Jialiang increasingly felt that the person was indeed Qin Miao.

Despite the clothes today well concealing the features around the neck area, Yu Jialiang had met Qin Miao in reality, and his memory was good, continually watching Qin Miao's races, and more importantly, he had participated in a race with Qin Miao. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

Speaking candidly, he had been Qin Miao's navigator and had won that race.

Not to mention the impressive achievements that Qin Miao later garnered on the F1 track, admired by countless racing fans.

The thing that kept Yu Jialiang in a state of regret was that, at the time, he did not take to heart this young man named Qin Miao, who was normal-looking but with a nice girlfriend and great racing skills.

He even settled a personal favor in a way Qin Miao could not refuse, right then and there.

It wasn't until later when Qin Miao entered F2 and was officially signed by Ferrari that Yu Jialiang recalled seeing Qin Miao's photo and remembered the connection he had with the young Chinese racer in the summer of 2019.

He eagerly shared this story with his friends, trying to show off a bit, but his friends refused to believe him, challenging him to provide proof.

Not to mention anything else, but surely there should be a group photo?

And it was then that Yu Jialiang felt a profound sense of self-blame and regret for his past actions.

Settling a favor on the spot was usual in their circles, but why didn't he leave contact information back then?
