The post-race interviews and award ceremony won't be elaborated here. Qin Miao stood alone on the podium, and the two Red Bull drivers didn't interact much with Qin Miao.
After all, they were just frustrated by Qin Miao on the track. Last season, Qin Miao's rivalry with the Red Bull drivers was understandable, as they were contending for the world championship.
But this season, Qin Miao's actions on the track have really puzzled the Red Bull team.
The most baffled of them all is Verstappen.
After all, Qin Miao's pace this season is only about 0.5 seconds slower than Perez's average per lap. Given this time gap, it's understandable for Qin Miao to defend against Perez, as Qin Miao can hold Perez on the track to a certain extent, and defending Perez isn't too stressful for him.
Though he might not want to admit it, Verstappen is convinced that Qin Miao can indeed hold Perez back.
