He conquered the Suzuka Circuit! Let his nation's anthem soar on Japanese soil, and everyone had to watch, no matter how displeased they might be, they had to watch.
The award ceremony after the race is generally conducted by a local official or a person with significant influence.
Today's Japanese Grand Prix was no exception.
When Qin Miao received the trophy handed over by a high-ranking Japanese official he didn't know, he saw a hint of anger in the other's smile.
This old man's smile was fake!
However, Qin Miao didn't care. Before the man could walk away, Qin Miao raised his trophy high and pointed at the national flag on his belt with his other hand.
For a moment, many Japanese officials' smiles stiffened.
