Alonso, whose starting speed has always been quite good, had an average start in today's race and was quickly caught up by Qin Miao from behind.
Since Qin Miao had already overtaken Alonso, who was directly in front, it was natural that Vettel, who started on Qin Miao's right front, was also quickly surpassed by Qin Miao.
The heavy rain in this race seems not to be very friendly to the older drivers whose reaction speed is not as good as the youngsters.
Actually, after overtaking these two, Qin Miao could already say he was quite satisfied; after all, gaining two positions in the starting phase to reach ninth place was an unexpected surprise for Qin Miao.
Next, Qin Miao planned to utilize his long-distance speed advantage on the track to gradually chase down the drivers ahead.
However, when the cars reached T2, an accident occurred on the track.
In front of Bottas, Ricardo's right front wheel touched Sainz's left rear wheel when exiting the corner.
