Zhou Guanyu was also very cunning. He knew that Qin Miao had a better start than him, so he didn't think about gaining a position through the start. He just honestly followed behind Qin Miao's car. After Qin Miao overtook Yuki Tsunoda, Zhou Guanyu completed a wheel-to-wheel with Tsunoda along with Qin Miao.
Zhou Guanyu understood that Qin Miao, caught in a tight pack of cars, couldn't quickly shake him off. As long as he stayed behind Qin Miao's car, there were plenty of opportunities to pick up positions.
Before entering T1, Qin Miao once again used his excellent start to overtake his teammate Mick Schumacher. There was no choice; Mick's start was even worse than Tsunoda's. Being overtaken by Qin Miao was just a matter of time.
Even while entering T1, Qin Miao forcefully dived into Ilott's inside line with a brutal late braking move.
After that, there wasn't much to say. After entering Ilott's inside line, Qin Miao left about 0.9 car lengths of space for Ilott on the exit.
