After Qin Miao stopped, besides changing the tires, the team's mechanics violently ripped off a piece of debris connected by carbon fiber filament from the side pod of Qin Miao's car, then directly sealed the hole with duct tape.
At the same time, the damage on Qin Miao's floor was also sealed with duct tape by the team's mechanics at the break point.
The main purpose of doing this was to reduce the negative impact on the car's overall aerodynamic effect caused by the uneven gap at the carbon fiber break point.
The whole process lasted about 20 seconds, and Qin Miao completed the simple car repair at the entrance to the team's pit area.
Although it took this long, when Qin Miao returned to the track, his position still hadn't changed; he was still behind Verstappen and in front of Gasly.
During the previous period, the gap created by the three of them was too big, so even wasting 20 seconds repairing the car in the pit would not affect their positions after coming out.
