And this time Ferrari surprisingly didn't mess up, with a tire change time of 2.5 seconds, which is considered decent. However, since Leclerc pitted at the same time as Qin Miao, there was certainly no possibility of overtaking Qin Miao during the tire change.
Instead, after exiting the pit, Leclerc was even slightly left behind by Qin Miao.
After leaving the pit, Qin Miao focused on Leclerc behind him because Qin Miao was not planning to pit again, so for the next period, Qin Miao didn't plan to defend too aggressively against Leclerc.
Because excessive defensive actions would also result in higher tire wear, which would be somewhat disadvantageous for the overall race.
