What Qin Miao didn't know was that when Hamilton started, he had been watching Qin Miao all along, knowing that his car and the four cars ahead were on a completely different racing level.
Even if he managed to overtake them during the start phase, the performance gap would soon allow them to reclaim their positions during the long-distance run.
Thus, Hamilton was continuously keeping an eye on Qin Miao, witnessing that Qin Miao's starting reaction and acceleration were faster than his own, but Qin Miao evidently eased off the throttle and braked before entering T1.
Seeing this, Hamilton felt somewhat complex and a bit strange inside.
As they entered T1, Qin Miao defended against Gasly, who was ready to seize any opportunity from behind.
Gasly, blocked by Qin Miao, could only helplessly opt for a straightforward entry into the corner.
This was different from the uneventful start of Qin Miao and Hamilton.
