Therefore, on the thirty-eighth lap, O'Kang also chose to pit.
Tire change time was 2.3 seconds, a full 1 second faster than Vettel.
And this 1 second meant he effectively maintained his lead position over Vettel.
Once out, O'Kang was positioned just 0.5 seconds ahead of Vettel. Although O'Kang's tire condition wasn't as good as Vettel's, due to spending 1 second less in the pit lane compared to Vettel and Hengelo being a difficult track for overtaking, O'Kang could hold onto his position safely.
As for Qin Miao, an early pit stop directly undercut all the drivers ahead of him.
With O'Kang's stop, Qin Miao moved up to second place, with Alonso ahead who hadn't pitted yet, so once Alonso pitted, Qin Miao would naturally move to first, and with clean air, the suspense of this race might be swiftly settled by Qin Miao.
The three commentators from Five-Star Sports were immediately excited upon seeing Vettel and O'Kang coming out of the pit lane behind Qin Miao.
