However, just when everyone thought that the Mercedes tow truck strategy had failed this time, an unexpected scene unfolded on the racetrack.
Hamilton directly missed the braking point ahead of Qin Miao.
Qin Miao had already started to decelerate at the braking point, while Hamilton was still running forward.
It was evident that Hamilton directly missed the braking point.
The sudden surprise caught Qin Miao off guard, but muscle memory ensured he didn't miss the braking point at T1.
No time for Qin Miao to be shocked; after the brake, like his almost perfect flying lap in Q2, he turned right into the corner, without his driving rhythm being disrupted by Hamilton's strange move.
And then a scene that touched everyone appeared: after braking late, Hamilton directly veered left, charging into the buffer zone on the left of the track, while Qin Miao steered right onto the track.
At that moment, the two Mercedes cars split to the left and right, parting their parallel lines.
