With the lessons learned from Red Bull and Aston Martin, all domestic fans staying up late to watch today's race sincerely hope there won't be any mishap with Qin Miao's tire change.
But there's a law in this world called Murphy's Law.
The gist is that the more you hope that something doesn't happen, the more likely it is to happen.
To the domestic fans' expectations, the Mercedes team still had an accident during Qin Miao's tire change.
After Qin Miao stopped the car, although the tire changer for Qin Miao's left rear wheel removed the tire immediately and installed the new one without issue, the air gun operator didn't tighten the bolt the first time, only managing to do so the second time.
What should have been done in 2.5 seconds turned into an ugly 5.1-second pit stop.
So now, the original time gap of just 2.5 seconds between Qin Miao and Hamilton has directly turned into a 5-second gap, with the team forcefully increasing the competition difficulty for Qin Miao.
