Qin Miao smiled and nodded, "Thank you."
After the interview ended, Qin Miao turned and went to the preparation room behind the podium, where he would go up to receive his award in a moment.
After reaching the preparation room, Qin Miao saw that Hamilton was sitting there.
Seeing Qin Miao approaching, Hamilton asked curiously, "Qin Miao, what exactly happened afterward?"
Qin Miao didn't wonder why Hamilton didn't know about the team's instructions given to him. Since Hamilton asked, Qin Miao replied, "Around lap 17, Verstappen pitted, and when he came out, he was behind me. After receiving team orders, I defended against him for five laps. Then when he came out after the second pit stop, he was again behind me. This time, considering the tires were degrading quite seriously, I defended him for only three laps."
After hearing Qin Miao's words, Hamilton looked at him in surprise, genuinely not expecting Qin Miao to be so strong in defense.
