It is worth mentioning that because the driving simulator does not equate to actually driving an F1 car, Qin Miao does not need a long adaptation period to master the simulator's racing driving.
So in subsequent tests, Qin Miao was at times faster than Hamilton.
However, everyone at Mercedes knows that although the simulator and F1 cars have data interchange and similar driving feel, they cannot be equated.
Qin Miao can perform very well on the simulator, but when actually sitting in an F1 car, no one knows whether he can truly maintain his precise control over the car under more than 2G of G-force pressure.
Even if he can maintain it for a short period, what about during a race phase with long-distance driving at over 300 kilometers?
So the staff has a calm mindset regarding Qin Miao's data.
Notably, Qin Miao has been very busy during this period, but Old Man Hamilton is busier than Qin Miao, and Bottas is also very busy.
