Compared to the chaos of Q1, Q2 was a straightforward process once preparations were made.
The drivers eliminated in Q2 were: Albon, Gasly, Vettel, Ricardo, Stroll.
And Qin Miao advanced with the top score in Q2.
Many fans who regularly watch Qin Miao's races were stunned by Qin Miao's performance:
[Unfamiliar, so unfamiliar]
[Unusual ranking]
[Qin Miao, where's your composure?]
[First? Did Qin Miao take pole position?]
...
Of course, most spectators were just teasing, with no malice toward Qin Miao.
However, as time moved to Q3, the situation on the track became somewhat magical.
As Q3 began, Ferrari had Leclerc switch to intermediate tires and head onto the track.
Ferrari's strategy was simple: by the season's end, they were secure in third place, unable to catch Red Bull and Mercedes, so they could try unconventional pit strategies and choices.
They didn't expect much in terms of team rankings, but they still wanted to try for a sprint race win or something.
