After parking the car, Qin Miao rarely stood on his race car and raised his arms in a cheer.

After suppressing his emotions for quite a while and returning to this honored position, Qin Miao was very excited.

Later, Qin Miao rushed directly into the crowd of Mercedes staff through Monte Carlo's unique track barriers.

It's worth mentioning that Qin Miao also saw his mother.

After a brief celebration with the team colleagues, Qin Miao came to his mother.

Although his mother was standing at the team's celebration spot, she was at an edge position hardly noticeable if not looked at carefully, but as Qin Miao approached, everyone's eyes turned to her.

Looking at his mother, smiling at him, Qin Miao blurted out, "Mom, am I awesome or what?"

His mother's proud smile froze for a moment, then she reached out and tapped Qin Miao's helmet.

Even though knowing it was a helmet, she didn't use much force when she tapped it.

Yet she didn't criticize Qin Miao about it, after all, winning the championship, a bit of arrogance is understandable.

After hugging Qin Miao, she said, "You raced beautifully today, very impressive, you truly are my son."

"Hehe."

Qin Miao chuckled, but the sound was muffled through the helmet.

"So I'll be busy now, probably won't be home for dinner tonight."

His mother nodded, her son had grown up and didn't smoke or drink outside, even his private life was clean, so no need for her to remind him of anything, he knew his limits.

Once his mother nodded, Qin Miao went to prepare for interviews and post-race ceremonies.

After weighing himself and putting his helmet away, Leclerc on the other side also returned after celebrating with the spectators.

Even though the helmet hid Leclerc's expression, Qin Miao knew that Leclerc should still be quite happy at this moment.

The most important thing is, he finally broke his home curse, at least in the home race, Leclerc finished smoothly and made it to the podium.

Of course, not being able to beat Qin Miao would make Leclerc feel somewhat regretful.

But second place is good too.

Also, Leclerc admitted that Qin Miao indeed raced well today.

"You bastard, why defend so seriously against your buddy? Couldn't you just let me win the home race?" Upon seeing Qin Miao, Leclerc immediately complained.

Qin Miao smiled and shrugged his shoulders, "Can't help it, I feel like this season Monte Carlo is the only chance I have to win a race, if I don't fight now, I might not have the opportunity this season."

Leclerc resignedly nodded.

"Hey, previously I didn't know what it was like to be defended against by you, I just thought Verstappen and Perez were a bit dramatic, now I've truly experienced it myself, it's really uncomfortable, I don't know how Verstappen endured it."

Qin Miao laughed, "That guy's attitude is much better than yours, I saw you almost lost control several times during the race."

Leclerc stood with his hands on his waist, looking at Qin Miao with some grievances in his eyes.

Don't you have any idea why I almost lost control?

Several times before the DRS zone, to throw me further behind, you almost treated the race as qualifying, those corners even just following behind you made me sweat with your insane cornering skills.

Now looking back, you can still see the marks of where your car scraped the track walls.

This actually can't blame Qin Miao for being too aggressive, after all, Qin Miao knew this was the grand prix where he had the most chance to win the race, and this season he didn't have the opportunity to compete for the driver's championship, so racing aggressively, even if he retired, wasn't an issue.

Anyway, Qin Miao proved his abilities last season, even if he didn't surpass Hamilton this season, it wasn't a big deal, moreover, Hamilton wasn't very comfortable with the current W13.

"Let's not pretend bro, you weren't exactly steady when attacking me just now." Qin Miao waved his hand and said.

...

After a brief chat with Leclerc, Leclerc went to wipe his sweat, while Qin Miao saw that the FIA staff were ready, giving him signals.

Bid farewell to Leclerc and shook hands with Sainz; Qin Miao put on his hat and came to the post-race interview camera.

"Qin Miao, it's great to see you back in this position, today's race shouldn't have been that stressful for you, right? According to the latest statistics from the FIA, during the race, you had the lowest number of correction maneuvers among all drivers."

The correction maneuvers refer to the instances when drivers accelerate out of corners a bit hastily, often causing the car to oversteer.

Generally, people don't react immediately, waiting for the car to sway significantly before attempting to save it.

F1 drivers have incredibly sharp car senses, so often they correct the car before it shows noticeable inclination.

Although this doesn't have a major impact on lap speed, not correcting means better continuity in traction for the car, which results in slightly higher speeds at the tail and top speeds compared to those who corrected.
