Of course, this wasn't the most unlucky thing Qin Miao encountered in today's race.
After Hamilton pitted, his tire change took 3.1 seconds.
A bit slow, but acceptable, whereas after Qin Miao pitted, the tire change took 5.2 seconds.
Sitting in the car, Qin Miao was dumbfounded upon seeing this.
But he held back, knowing that even if he wanted to curse, the tire crew wouldn't hear him now.
Twice changing tires somewhat flustered the Mercedes team's tire crew, which led to the crew not properly securing Qin Miao's right rear tire, and the bolt wasn't tightened immediately.
Only after taking it out and reinserting it the second time was the bolt tightened.
This directly caused Qin Miao, who already wasn't in a good position, to be overcut by Perez in the pit lane.
Watching Perez leave early with new hard tires, Qin Miao finally couldn't hold back and cursed inside his helmet.
