However, due to the overly aggressive language from some fans, it's best not to go into detail here.
In short, after exiting the pit area, Qin Miao found himself 1.2 seconds ahead of Mick, with only 6 seconds of clean air in front of him.
The reason for having less clean air than expected was mainly because, over the past few laps, the gaps between the entire pack widened further.
This was considered a miscalculation by the team's strategy department.
After Hamilton came out, he was positioned ahead of Kimi, with over 10 seconds of clean air before him.
Even the tiniest advantage counts; the injection of this stretch of clean air could notably increase both of their speeds.
Because after Qin Miao and Hamilton pitted, the drivers in front of them might also choose to pit during this time to prevent both from undercutting.
