How Did I Become an F1 Driver?-Chapter 827 - 333: Post-Race Interview

In any case, looking at this national flag, Qin Miao excitedly draped it over himself. This time, Qin Miao felt no psychological burden at all.

After putting on the flag, Qin Miao waved to Boss Zhou upstairs, then proceeded with a smile to accept the interview.

It's worth mentioning that today's interviewer for Qin Miao is jokingly referred to as the 15-time champion, Nico Rosberg.

Qin Miao and Rosberg have quite a few things in common. For instance, they are both Mercedes drivers, and both have defeated Hamilton while serving at Mercedes.

So it was interesting to have him interview Qin Miao at this moment.

Moreover, the combination of interviewer and interviewee clearly delivered a certain blow to Hamilton. Initially, with a somewhat calm face, Hamilton's normally not-so-pale face turned even darker upon seeing that Rosberg was in charge of today's match interview.

And according to Rosberg's theory, Qin Miao can be considered to have fulfilled Hamilton's dream, becoming an eight-time champion.

After all, Qin Miao secured the drivers' championship this year, defeating his teammate Hamilton, who won seven world championships.

Adding it up, Qin Miao is now the champion.

After the joke, Qin Miao, draped in the flag, made his way to Rosberg.

At this moment, Rosberg looked at Qin Miao with an expression full of the affection and tolerance of a senior towards a junior, but more than anything, admiration.

As long as you've beaten Hamilton on the racetrack, then we're like brothers from another mother! 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Once Qin Miao stood still, Rosberg began speaking: "Qin Miao, you've once again created numerous histories; we are the witnesses of these histories. Right at this moment, you are the world champion!"

When Qin Miao first came in front of Rosberg for the interview, he was relatively calm.

But after hearing Rosberg's words, Qin Miao's mouth subconsciously began to turn upwards, and finally, he couldn't help but laugh.

Indeed, he has become the world champion.

With both hands clutching the flag behind him, Qin Miao shook his head and said emotionally, "This year hasn't been easy, not even until the last moment of today's race before crossing the finish line. I had never thought that one day, I could stand in this position and receive such an honor.

All of this feels like an unreal dream to me, but if this truly is a dream, I hope this dream never wakes."

At this point, Qin Miao paused for a moment, then continued, "Of course, without the help of the team and the support from the fans behind me, this championship wouldn't have anything to do with me. I really want to say something to them, but when the words reached my mouth, I got choked up. Finally, I just want to say thank you; this world championship is mine, but it also belongs to all of you."

Rosberg then asked, "We all know that before the race, you received a penalty for replacing new engine parts. I want to know, did that incident before the race affect your condition?"

"The pre-race problems had us completely overwhelmed for quite a long time. The team was doing its utmost to help me deal with this issue, and luckily, we successfully resolved the trouble.

However, we couldn't guarantee that this issue wouldn't resurface during the race, so we decided to replace new parts before the race. Knowing I would be penalized, we put more effort into both the qualifying round and the start phase of the race.

But fortunately, the final result satisfied both the team and me, and judging from the outcome, that one penalty had nearly no impact on us."

"In the first season of your career, just a rookie season, you stood atop the podium at seven Grand Prix races, and eventually overcame your teammate Hamilton to secure the drivers' championship. All of this certainly couldn't have happened without the support of the team and the fans. Is there anything you'd like to say to them?"

Qin Miao reached out to adjust his hat a bit. This question concerns the fans. After being in F1 for so long, Qin Miao knows that the most important thing in the sport is the fans. Without them, F1 would be nothing.

So when Qin Miao answers any questions related to the fans, he would casually make a few gestures to cover up the fact that he is thinking. Then once he determined what he wanted to say, he would start answering the host's question.

After a simple adjustment, Qin Miao began to answer, "Although I've already said this earlier, I don't mind repeating it here; in my eyes, my team is always the best. I want to thank my team this season for everything they've done for me, and for providing me with this powerful car.

From the team's logistics to the engineering roles in development, and even the nutritionists and psychological consultants, it is due to these people who quietly dedicate themselves behind the scenes that I have this honor today.

I also thank Toto for believing in me, giving me another chance to enter F1 during my life's low point.

I am fortunate that I haven't let down Toto's expectations nor the team's efforts; this championship belongs to all of us.

Most importantly, it comes from the support of the fans. Without their messages to me, their endless letters, the various small gifts they sent, letting me know that someone is always supporting me in the background, my mindset might not have been as good as it is now.
