This completely comes off as the kind of playful banter among friends. Despite falling behind Qin Miao, Qin Miao's duel with the car in front can effectively increase exposure for the Mercedes team sponsor, but it conflicts with the team's own interests. Frankie saw that Qin Miao was lonely cruising the track in both races and gave Qin Miao this idea.
Qin Miao actually considered Frankie's suggestion for a bit, but ultimately shook his head and said, "Possible, but unnecessary. Given that my tires might be a bit tight in this race, I'll likely remain in tire-conservation mode."
"Of course, I'm just offering a suggestion…"
"Qin Miao! The car is ready, come over for acceptance." Reyes's voice came over.
Qin Miao reached out and patted Frankie's shoulder, then dragged his chair away.

After completing the final inspection of the car, Qin Miao went to the track with his car.
