Upon hearing this, Verstappen regretfully said, "If I had known, I would've given Hamilton and myself a bit more room when we were fighting."
Qin Miao was also a bit curious, "Why didn't you attack me in those last two laps? You were clearly in my DRS zone from behind."
Verstappen shrugged helplessly, "At that time, my tires were in a similar condition as yours, slipping all the way through the corner exits, and they didn't provide me with enough grip to accelerate."
Qin Miao understood upon hearing this.
On the Brazilian Interlagos track, drivers actually start accelerating early on the long straight after the start.
If the downforce is strong enough, drivers usually go full throttle after passing T12.
However, due to tire wear, Verstappen's tires would slip after passing T12, preventing any acceleration, so naturally, he couldn't pose a threat to Qin Miao.
