Next, as the battle between Verstappen and Hamilton intensified, Qin Miao was able to gradually widen the time gap between himself and the two drivers behind.
The contest for second place between Hamilton and Verstappen became the main highlight of today's race.
After getting caught up in the duel with Hamilton, Verstappen internally gave up any hope of contending for the championship of this leg of the race.
By lap 50, the time gap between Qin Miao and Verstappen, who had finally overtaken Hamilton to move up to second, had reached 7 seconds.
Many excited Mercedes fans, seeing the significant speed advantage of Qin Miao, immediately hung up the banner of double champion at the sidelines and waved it wildly.
They even prematurely opened the champagne.
However, sometimes this world is so fantastical, if you open champagne early, you will inevitably face divine retribution from the god of champagne.
