Last season, Hamilton was still locked in fierce battle with Verstappen, but this season he has ended up in an entirely different situation, which is quite poignant and regretful.
At this moment, Qin Miao still had speed, but because DRS had been activated, the gap between Qin Miao and Norris was maintained between 1.1 seconds and 0.7 seconds.
Anyway, Qin Miao always managed to shake off Norris behind him from the DRS zone before the DRS detection point.
Norris was convinced by this, as Qin Miao repeatedly demonstrated his terrifying defensive capability and strategic intelligence, along with those almost supernatural tire management skills.
Lap 50.
Norris, who had started with some confidence, was now drenched in sweat.
How come Qin Miao still has speed!??
Meanwhile, Leclerc, who was faster than Perez but couldn't find an opportunity to overtake, and the Ferrari team decided to take a gamble at this point.
On lap 50, Ferrari called Leclerc in for a pit stop.
