After witnessing this scene, Qin Miao cursed angrily in his heart: "Damn it, how can he be so fast?"
Qin Miao, who was distracted and allowed his position to be taken by Verstappen, definitely felt somewhat unwilling at this point. However, seeing the rapidly approaching Verstappen, he had no way to fight back. He could only attempt to suppress Verstappen's line, but the speed of the car was far superior to his. The Honda engine this season was like a monster, and Qin Miao's attempts gave him little help.
Thus, the two cars came to the T2 position one after the other. Verstappen, relying on sufficient straight-line speed, had reached the side of Qin Miao. The two cars almost entered the corner side by side.
As they entered T2, Verstappen did not choose a late brake to block Qin Miao's route. With Perez right behind them watching intently, a late brake on Qin Miao could indeed prevent Qin Miao, but wouldn't Perez just slip past?
