At that moment, Qin Miao was already relatively stationary with Verstappen before the braking point.
It's worth noting that the RB19 was using DRS at the time, showing just how terrifying the top speed on the straight of the Mercedes W14 was this season.
Of course, the full release of ERS also contributed.
Then Qin Miao naturally braked late while getting as close as possible to Verstappen on the outside line. Qin Miao didn't expect Verstappen to also change lanes towards the inside where he was.
And then, unexpectedly, the unexpected happened.
At the time, because Qin Miao braked later, even later than the also late-braking Verstappen, Qin Miao's right front wheel directly surpassed Verstappen's left rear wheel.
As the two cars got closer, Qin Miao's right front wheel slotted into the right side of Verstappen's floorboard.
