Qin Miao shouted at the top of his lungs, "No problem, don't worry."

There was no other way, one had to shout, otherwise no one could hear what the other person was saying.

After all, both drivers had noise-canceling earphones stuffed in their ears.

Otherwise, sitting in front of a roaring F1 engine without ear protection, your ears would be deafened in no time.

At this moment, Qin Miao suddenly noticed the side wing on the right side of Hamilton's car.

The Mercedes W12 didn't have side pods; its body resembled a beer bottle. However, coincidentally, the W12 had two massive side wings on either side, which looked just like chairs.

The key point was that the side wings of the Mercedes car were connected to the car's side pods, ensuring enough sturdiness.

The moment he saw this, countless images of senior racers hitching rides after races flashed through Qin Miao's mind.

With these images of the seniors, an immature idea was born in Qin Miao's heart.

Young people often act without considering the consequences, so with everyone staring wide-eyed, Qin Miao grabbed the side of Hamilton's car and then plopped himself right onto the side wing of Hamilton's car.

This thing withstands pressures of over 100 kilograms at speeds of 260 km/h, so carrying Qin Miao's 65 kilograms posed no problem and there was no risk of it breaking.

After the race ended, the broadcasters didn't have much to show the audience. Luckily, Qin Miao's car had a blown tire on the track edge, so the cameramen focused on the two Mercedes drivers, wanting to capture their conversation.

According to the director's understanding, next, after Qin Miao and Hamilton finished chatting, Qin Miao would walk to the Matthew Passage beside the track and take a car back to the pits for the award ceremony, while Hamilton would drive back.

Until Qin Miao returned by car, the director would keep the camera on him.

So, all the spectators watching the race stared in disbelief as Qin Miao ignored Matthew, who was waiting expectantly by the Matthew Passage, and plopped himself onto his teammate's car side wing.

"Eh? Qin Miao? Is this..." The three commentators from Five-Star Sports were stunned by Qin Miao's actions.

Then, stammering and uncertain, they asked, "Is he trying to hitch a ride?"

"Impossible, hitching a ride now would get him penalized."

...

Hamilton froze for a moment when he noticed his right rearview mirror go dark, turned his head, and realized Qin Miao was sitting on his car, adjusting his posture.

Seeing this unimaginable scene, Hamilton was stunned for about two seconds, before hurriedly attempting to push Qin Miao off. Just kidding, the FIA rules state that hitching a ride on the track incurs a penalty.

A little fine doesn't matter; Mercedes' sponsors wouldn't mind covering that for Qin Miao. In fact, if the contract allowed, they'd want to give Qin Miao a bonus for doing this after every race, but heck, hitching a ride on an F1 car on the track could mean a grid penalty for the next race.

But looking at Qin Miao, it seemed he wasn't aware of such a rule from the FIA.

As for whether Qin Miao would disregard this rule, Hamilton hadn't considered it, as, in his impression, Qin Miao wasn't someone who defied regulations.

So, after ruling out the possibility of Qin Miao provoking the race officials, only this likelihood remained.

But at this awkward moment, Hamilton found his body fixed by the seatbelt, with his right hand not reaching out, and the left hand couldn't reach Qin Miao.

He couldn't even touch Qin Miao, let alone push him off.

Shouting wouldn't work either, as the engine noise was too loud. Qin Miao only heard Hamilton earlier because he leaned close to Hamilton's helmet.

And during the time Hamilton was fretting alone, Qin Miao had already settled himself on the side wing, grabbing the side with his left hand, placing his left foot on the connecting rod with the tires, and his right foot on the undertray. Surprisingly, this angle was quite stable.

After securing his body, Qin Miao extended his right hand and patted Hamilton's helmet, signaling he was ready to go.

Feeling the helmet being tapped twice by Qin Miao, Hamilton felt rather helpless.

Through the team radio, Toto's voice also came through: "Tell Qin Miao to stop fooling around and get off!"

But what could Hamilton do? He couldn't shout loud enough, nor could he reach him.

Through the live broadcast, everyone could see Hamilton's helmet slightly tilt back, likely annoyed by Qin Miao.

Seeing that Hamilton hadn't moved, Qin Miao thought he hadn't felt it, so he firmly patted Hamilton's helmet again.

Feeling the vibrations transmitted from the helmet, Hamilton simply stepped on the throttle. Since you don't want to get off, there's nothing more to say, let's go. Anyway, if there's a penalty, it's you who gets it, not me.

And when Hamilton's car really started moving, the fans on-site erupted in enthusiastic cheers.

It's hard to imagine that such a small crowd, less than a tenth of the usual number of fans, could produce such loud cheers. Even Qin Miao, wearing noise-canceling earphones on the car, could hear the cheers erupting from the stands behind him.

Turning around to wave at the direction they were in, Qin Miao then found a new spot on the car to secure himself, starting his F1 hitchhiking journey on the side plate of #44 W12.

The spectators on-site went wild after seeing this scene. The tickets they bought to watch this race were absolutely worth it, despite the risks involved.

And without much surprise, this might likely be the last hitchhiking scene in the F1 arena, after all, no rookie driver would have the nerve to ride like Qin Miao despite the penalty, nor would their teammate dare to actually give the ride.

Hamilton had just started, and the live feed switched to a Matthew on the track side.

As soon as Qin Miao sat on Hamilton's car, this Matthew had run out of the Matthew Passage, clearly intending to pull Qin Miao down from the car.

But by the time he almost reached Hamilton's car, Hamilton had driven off, leaving him standing in place, at a loss as he watched Hamilton drive Qin Miao away.

The director happened to capture this moment, showing this Matthew standing by the track with an indescribable sense of desolation exuding from him.

It all unexpectedly turned quite comical.

At this point, the director didn't want to miss the scene between Qin Miao and Hamilton either.

All the way back to the pits, the broadcaster's camera never left Qin Miao and Hamilton.

During this process, the English commentators went crazy, the on-site audience went crazy, the fans watching the livestream went crazy, and the three commentators from Five-Star Sports went completely wild.

People are sometimes like this; they dare not break rules themselves, but if someone else does, they will idolize that person.

At this moment, Qin Miao was that idol.

Everyone paying attention to the race was watching him, truly offering him applause and admiration.

When Qin Miao returned to the pits, except for the FIA officials with stern faces, everyone applauded for Qin Miao and Hamilton.

Of course, happiness levels vary. Having seen Qin Miao's outrageous action, the happiest people were not Qin Miao's fans, nor the F1 racing fans, but the sponsors of Qin Miao and Mercedes.

This lap back to the track, the on-site broadcaster didn't give screen time to any other drivers. All the attention was on Qin Miao and Hamilton.

The exposure of sponsor advertisements skyrocketed, their smiles nearly went askew.

And just as Qin Miao and Hamilton parked their cars, while Qin Miao went off to find his team staff to celebrate, the director switched the feed to Toto.

This footage wasn't live but the moment when Qin Miao just sat on Hamilton's car.

It showed Toto, who was wearing a headset saying something, then seemingly realizing something, painfully massaging his forehead, removing the headset, and helplessly sighing.

From Toto's joyous return of the Mercedes 1-2 to the astonishment of Qin Miao's blown tire on the track, the bewilderment of Qin Miao chatting with Hamilton, and then the breakdown of Qin Miao hitching a ride on Hamilton's car.

The Oscar statuette would surely bow to Toto's performance.
