After Qin Miao parked the car, Reyes and his team, who had been waiting at Qin Miao's grid position for a long time, lifted Qin Miao's car with two jacks.
At the same time, they removed the old soft tires from Qin Miao's car and replaced them with the set of soft tires that Qin Miao used to clock the fastest lap in Q2, wrapping them with warming blankets.
Qin Miao's strategy today is a one-stop red and white, although the Sakhir circuit is really not tire-friendly, being one of the circuits with the highest tire wear all year.
But whether it was the winter test or the three practice sessions of the Bahrain Grand Prix, Qin Miao's tire wear data was impressively good. Data doesn't lie, so Mercedes' strategists prepared such a tactic for Qin Miao.
At the same time, Qin Miao brought enough fuel for 60 laps according to his own usage habits.
At this point, some might ask, the race is only 57 laps, won't bringing these extra 3 laps of fuel negatively impact speed and tire wear?
