Before entering the repair zone, Qin Miao hit the brakes hard, and his speed dropped below 80 km/h by the time he crossed the white line marking the repair zone, enabling the repair zone speed limit button on his steering wheel, and pressing halfway on the accelerator, Qin Miao maintained a cruising speed as he entered the pit stop.
Mercedes' pit stop location was at the far right of the entrance, the first one, so Qin Miao saw his team's staff and the signaling lights they held once he entered the pit stop.
Despite feeling nervous with a heart rate over 120, Qin Miao had practiced entering the pit stop countless times. After long periods of training, Qin Miao had developed muscle memory for tire changes, so this stop was very precise, and there was no deviation in the parking position.
