Qin Miao clearly felt the right rear tire of his racing car get bumped, and something flew off with it, but the tire didn't suffer much damage as a result.
If there happened to be a helicopter overhead of the two cars at this moment, it would be able to see that this collision was mainly due to Qin Miao and Verstappen's synchronized lane changes.
Verstappen couldn't respond in time, and his car's left front nose wing endplate scraped right off Qin Miao's right rear tire.
The good news is that the fragments of Verstappen's car's left front endplate were blown off the track due to the airflow, so the likelihood of deploying a safety car is low.
Moreover, the damage to Verstappen's front wing isn't considered severe, and the feel of driving the car hasn't changed much either, with only a slight loss of downforce and some balance-related issues.
But these issues don't affect the car's speed, and the driver just needs to change their driving habits to offset these negative impacts.
