CHAPTER 205: CHAPTER 126: STRANGE CONTRACT

Salary? The money given by the system is still unspent by Qin Miao, so a low salary isn’t an issue.

As for performance, there’s even less to worry about. Qin Miao’s proficiency on the 12 F2 race tracks this season has reached over 300+ in the system.

Boldly speaking, driving his F2 car, Qin Miao could run two laps on these tracks with his eyes closed.

As long as the team and the car don’t hold him back, Qin Miao is confident he can win the F2 driver’s championship and most of the race championships this year.

As for the sprint race, that’s another story.

Because it’s foreseeable that after winning a championship in both the regular race and the sprint race, he won’t be able to comfortably overtake as easily in future sprints.

Aside from Zhou Guanyu, every F2 driver ahead of Qin Miao would focus on defending against his overtaking attempts in the sprint race.

They need to curb Qin Miao’s performance and allow the leading drivers to distance themselves from him as much as possible.

Not every championship can go to Qin Miao alone.

After all, those who are ahead of Qin Miao in sprint race reverse starting are considered somewhat skilled drivers. They might secure eighth in the regular race and then fight for the championship starting the sprint race in reverse.

At such times, having someone to block Qin Miao, even for a second or two, would be great!

So, it’s foreseeable that in the upcoming season, every F2 driver might unite against Qin Miao in sprint races like fighting a boss monster.

Because of this, after the Austria Grand Prix, Qin Miao plans to run normally during the regular race but take it easy during the sprint races. After all, everyone knows F2 sprint races are somewhat pork-sharing; taking all the regular and sprint race championships like a greedy landlord wouldn’t sit well with others.

Qin Miao isn’t someone without empathy. The other 21 drivers work hard all year long, yet none have even touched the championship trophy. Is that fair?

However... upon hearing Binotto’s request...

Pork sharing? I’m taking away even the table you use for butchering.

How do they regard me, Qin Miao? Damn, if you’re not satisfied, suck it up. You expect me to yield because you’re slow? I’m not your father!

Though if Xiaozhou has a hope of winning, Qin Miao might just have a "mechanical failure" on the track...

In short, dear F2 colleagues, sorry for this season!

If it’s a boss fight, then let it be a boss fight. After all, who doesn’t get team-wiped by boss monsters a few times in MMORPGs?

For my special contract, bear with it!

...

Indeed, Qin Miao is somewhat introverted, but for someone who loves racing and is a bit withdrawn, the contract from Binotto is irresistible.

They discussed more details of the contract together, and then the agreement was settled.

This contract has strict requirements for Qin Miao: he must dominate this F2 season to become the driver’s champion.

In Qin Miao’s F1 driver contract, aside from the basic obligations of a driver, there is a significant reduction in media obligations, team commercial events, and fan activities, essentially requiring Qin Miao to participate in only one event per Grand Prix, with most of the rest being personal time.

Regarding the salary issue, Qin Miao’s first-year salary was declared publicly as 2 million euros, but after various taxes deducted, it amounts to over 1 million euros.

For a rookie driver, this salary is reasonable, but for someone of Qin Miao’s level of talent, it’s a bit low. Considering the minimal commercial activity clauses in Qin Miao’s contract, it suddenly seems reasonable.

Of course, at this time, it was merely a rough agreement between Qin Miao and Binotto; the actual contract signing would take some time.

After all, the initial contract prepared doesn’t fit the current situation; it needs redrafting.

On the one hand, a notary lawyer must be present when signing the contract, and someone has to check for any hidden clauses within it for Qin Miao.

Although Qin Miao doesn’t think Ferrari would trip him up in the contract, it’s a necessary process. Even if Qin Miao doesn’t plan to hire a lawyer, Qimeng would insist upon learning of the matter.

After the conversation concluded, the three prepared to part ways. Qin Miao checked his phone, noting he had some time to play a few rounds of CSGO after returning to the hotel.

Just as Qin Miao stood up, ready to say goodbye with a handshake, Binotto clasped his hand and hugged him, patting his back: "I look forward to working with you next season."

Qin Miao returned the hug and smiled, saying, "Of course, I’m looking forward to it too."

Certainly, Binotto hasn’t realized yet what kind of beast this contract and commitment have unleashed on the F2 track.

Only when Qin Miao breaks one record after another will Binotto recall today, when he said, "This F2 season must produce impressive results," and what that mysterious confident smile on Qin Miao’s face meant.

With the discussion over, Binotto had work to handle, and Qin Miao was busy heading back to the hotel for gaming. The three parted ways at the café’s entrance.

This news won’t spread shortly; after all, the F2 season has just started, and Ferrari confirming next season’s F1 driver this early might seem imprudent, undoubtedly triggering another media storm if released.
