Compared to Verstappen and Hamilton, Qin Miao being able to reach this position is purely due to his greater stability compared to these two drivers, making fewer mistakes on the track.
If one pays close attention, it's not difficult to notice that as the race progresses, the time gap between Qin Miao and Hamilton is shrinking at a visibly rapid pace.
The specific reason is naturally due to Qin Miao's growth this season.
But it is still an objective fact that Verstappen and Hamilton are stronger than Qin Miao.
Currently, Qin Miao's speed is not that fast, aside from the driver's personal ability, it's more about the difference in the team.
Hamilton's team has been assisting him in adjusting his car since he joined Mercedes.
After so many years of working together, everybody is basically at a point where they understand each other very well.
