Despite Qin Miao's sudden acceleration, catching up to 1.3 seconds behind Leclerc was already the limit of what Qin Miao could achieve. Next, Qin Miao could only watch helplessly as Leclerc, whose tire temperature had already risen, gradually distanced himself.
And he couldn't do anything about it...
Of course, Qin Miao's pit stop was later than anyone expected.
By the 28th lap, Qin Miao's set of medium tires was still within standard speed, and he was even 0.2 seconds per lap faster than Perez, who had already pitted once ahead of him.
But Red Bull wasn't in a hurry at this time. After all, Qin Miao would have to pit eventually.
Chase if you want, but even if you overtake Perez, you'll fall behind after your pit stop.
However, by the 35th lap, Qin Miao's speed had slightly decreased, with the original 0.2 seconds per lap chase speed dropping to 0.1 seconds per lap.
But such a chase speed still surprised quite a few people.
