The logistics department of the team's home indeed had ice cream, but these things were prepared for the clerical staff and technicians, and the drivers wouldn't eat them.

After seeing Toto's eyes, Barber could only shrug helplessly. Damn, he was just an employee. In the beginning, Qin Miao would still listen to him. Whatever he said could or couldn't be eaten, Qin Miao would strictly follow.

But over time, Qin Miao realized that Barber wasn't a serious person in daily life, and immediately started to let loose.

At that time, Barber felt a bit desperate. After all, Qin Miao was really eating anything that was supposed to be off-limits, and Barber's professional knowledge told him that in the near future, Qin Miao's weight would take off completely.

After realizing this, Barber even had the impulse to resign.

However, when he received Qin Miao's body assessment report for the new month, he was dumbfounded to find that the high-calorie junk food Qin Miao ate seemed impossible to digest and did not transform into energy and fat stored in Qin Miao's body.

It just disappeared into thin air.

Another month passed, and after confirming that no matter what Qin Miao ate, he wouldn't gain weight and that his body mass hadn't increased with no negative impact, Barber also started to give up. 'Eat whatever you love, I don't care anymore.'

As for why Toto didn't know, Barber also wasn't sure.

Anyway, he had submitted a report to the team, but it was obvious that Toto hadn't seen it.

Thursday passed just like that, with nothing to say.

Friday, the day for practice sessions one and two.

What used to feel like intense practice sessions to Qin Miao didn't seem complicated to him now. He had a clear understanding of what needed to be done and when, no longer feeling lost.

There wasn't much to elaborate on for the first and second practices. It was just driving to prepare for Sunday's main race, collecting data, and finding a feel for driving.

The only notable thing was during the second practice when Kimi, due to not yielding in time, blocked Qin Miao's qualifying simulation flying lap.

However, Qin Miao, who rescued the car dangerously, didn't show any impatience and just told the team that the flying lap was blocked and nothing more.

But what Qin Miao didn't know was that his words were released.

And precisely because Qin Miao didn't vent with colorful language like most people would after being blocked,

but instead reported it calmly to the team, along with his strong performance on the track and his brotherly friendship with Hamilton,

his reputation, which was originally slightly below average in the paddock, began to shift positively.

At this point, most fans thought Qin Miao was a sentimental and deeply talented young man, indicating that overall, Qin Miao's reputation was good.

Saturday.

Today was the day for the third practice and qualifying.

Just as the third practice started, Qin Miao hurriedly ran from the back door of the Mercedes team P room into the garage.

Seeing this hurried young man, many staff members older than Qin Miao smiled knowingly.

Only a young person like Qin Miao would have such energy and movements. Seeing him, they all felt a bit younger themselves.

Because Qin Miao began participating in various interviews and pre-race activities like other drivers, he also, inevitably like Hamilton, was late for the team meeting.

And his current haste was because the earlier interview took too much time, and if he didn't jog over, he might miss the third practice.

Seeing Qin Miao come to the P room, get to his car, start putting on gear, and then hop into the car to drive off in a flash, Toto shook his head with a smile.

Allison, sitting next to Toto, took advantage of the quiet moment while the two cars were out running data during the third practice to close his microphone and lift part of his headset, leaning towards Toto, and whispered, "I still don't understand what your purpose was when you gave that order."

Toto also closed his microphone and, while watching the lap times of the drivers, said, "It's all in the past."

"Come on, spill it." Allison was clearly not buying Toto's excuse.

Toto helplessly looked at Allison, knowing that if he couldn't give a satisfactory explanation, Allison wouldn't let it go. "When I found Qin Miao, he had just won the F2 championship. Although he was exceptionally talented and shone brilliantly in F2, we all know F2 is not F1.

So at that time, I didn't think he would perform in F1 as gloriously as he did in F2..."

Allison shrugged, "It seems you underestimated Qin Miao."

Toto nodded helplessly, "Yes, I underestimated him. Not just me, Ferrari, Red Bull, everyone underestimated him.

Can you believe that the young driver you recruited, expecting him to grow for a few years before taking on important responsibilities, showed impressive strength right in his first race and could hold his own against one of the championship contenders?"

"Isn't this a good thing?" Allison was puzzled.

Toto rubbed his forehead, "It might be for other teams, but for us..."

Allison instantly thought of Hamilton, then of Rosberg, then Verstappen and Ricardo. Thinking of these people and the silly things they had done, he clicked his tongue: "Yes, for us, it's really not a good thing."
