Many people, after seeing this scene, felt a sense of nostalgia, like the waves of the Yangtze River pushing forward relentlessly.
But in reality, it was just Hamilton having bad luck in yesterday's qualifying race.
"MAX, Qin Miao is 17.5 seconds behind you. If we pit now, you'll inevitably fall behind Qin Miao. We need you to start protecting your tires, stay on track as long as possible." This is the TR from the Red Bull team.
"Qin Miao, Verstappen is 17.5 seconds ahead of you. According to our calculations, as soon as he pits, he will fall behind you, so for a long time, you don't need to worry about being blocked by cars in front.
Our current speed is at least one second faster per lap than Sainz and Norris, and now you have a 6-second gap with them. Hold on for a few more laps, our advantage will become greater and greater." This is the TR from the Mercedes team.
What the team didn't say is that Qin Miao is in a state of gradually closing in on Verstappen.
