Qin Miao had no intention of attacking the Verstappen ahead, and Perez was gradually being left behind by Qin Miao and Verstappen.
At this point, the broadcast camera, noticing the lack of sparks between the three, decisively switched to Hamilton.
Compared to Qin Miao and Verstappen, Hamilton's performance in this race was what the live audience was more eagerly anticipating.
And Hamilton didn't disappoint the live audience's expectations.
With just one start, Hamilton moved from tenth to eighth.
One was O'Kang, who Hamilton overtook at the T1 braking point using his car's engine advantage after the start, and the other was Norris, who had a bright start but collided with Sainz afterward, causing a puncture after his left rear tire collided with Sainz's left front tire, dropping him to the back of the pack.
Additionally, at T8 of the first lap, Hamilton, relying on the car's superior mechanical grip, forced his way past Gasly on the outside line.
