Therefore, to avoid this situation and to prevent excessive tire wear, Qin Miao set up a trap for the Old Man, handing him over to Norris, who seemed incredibly fast in today's race.
Let Norris deal with the Old Man, while he took advantage of the time during Hamilton and Norris's tussle to widen the gap with the drivers behind as much as possible.
So at this moment, Qin Miao was solely hoping that Norris and Hamilton would push themselves a bit more and battle on the track a little longer.
If possible, also try to hold off Verstappen who was behind them.
Lap ten.
Qin Miao's gap with the Old Man behind him was 2.9 seconds at this moment.
The lap times of the two were actually the same, but Qin Miao was gradually increasing the gap with the Old Man.
The reason was that Qin Miao was no longer forming a train, while the Old Man started to do so.
Because Qin Miao miscalculated, the McLaren MCL60, despite its upgrades, could not threaten the Mercedes W14 on the track.
