Anyway, soon I'll be able to use DRS, and overtaking Qin Miao will just be a matter of time.
Although it sounds like a lot, the time from Verstappen pulling out to hitting the brakes was just a split second.
At the very moment Verstappen hit the brakes, Qin Miao suddenly floored the gas, reaching the optimal position before starting to slow down into the corner.
Because of this sudden acceleration, Verstappen, who was pulling out, was overtaken by Qin Miao, and after entering the corner, Qin Miao just slotted in front of Verstappen.
Normally, Verstappen could have reacted to this sudden change, but because he had just braked, his mind was stuck in a thought pattern focusing on how to exit the corner better to get closer to Qin Miao ahead. He hadn't considered that Qin Miao would suddenly start accelerating.
As a result, Qin Miao's entry into the corner was about 0.2 seconds faster than Verstappen's.
By the time Verstappen reacted, it was already too late.
