And Ricardo...
Let's just say he made a mistake, and luck was not on his side.
Putting aside the cause of this accident, after all, it wasn't really related to Qin Miao.
In terms of the results of this accident, it was beneficial for Qin Miao.
Because this accident triggered the safety car, and under the guidance of the safety car, the wear on Qin Miao's soft tires could be effectively reduced. Although Qin Miao would still pit at the calculated team point for a tire change, this process allowed him to slightly increase his tire consumption.
Due to the need to clear two cars and the considerable debris left on the track after the collision, the safety car period lasted for 6 laps, and the race only restarted on the 7th lap.
Soon, the race resumed.
Because the following car rules were changed, after the safety car restart, drivers couldn't really take the opportunity to attack the cars in front.
At that time, Verstappen had quite a few complaints about the rule modification.
