Of course, also because Qin Miao's maneuver caught Hamilton by surprise, Hamilton continued to brake late into the corner, giving Qin Miao an opportunity to brake early and slip into the inside line.
And just like that, Qin Miao changed lanes while braking, letting Hamilton pass before forcefully inserting himself into Hamilton's inside line.
But even though Qin Miao forced his way in, he lost quite a bit of time by braking early. When both of them entered T12 side by side, Qin Miao was still behind Hamilton, who also had the right of way.
However, the Old Man still left Qin Miao some space for exiting the turn.
It's not that Hamilton was being magnanimous; he could remain calm when facing Qin Miao's attack, and even had the temperament to leave more room for Qin Miao on the exit.
It's simply because if Hamilton defended too aggressively against Qin Miao, he worried Qin Miao might just crash into him, which could result in damage to both cars.
