Then on the race track, Qin Miao was attacking Hamilton in front, followed by Gasly, Yuki Tsunoda, and Vettel Alonso.
Because Gasly was held back by Qin Miao's defense, the few drivers behind were trapped in the "little train" driven by Qin Miao.
As a result, unknowingly within the paddock, Qin Miao had already garnered the nickname of the "train driver."
After all, in the 2022 season, Qin Miao started the train many times, and even during the entire Monaco Grand Prix, Qin Miao clinched the race championship by driving a train.
At this moment, the time gap between Hamilton at the head of the pack and Sainz in front was already up to 6 seconds.
Just as everyone thought that, due to infighting, the two Mercedes drivers would be directly left behind by the drivers ahead by over a 1-minute time gap in the race.
Lap 9, Sainz, with a 4-second gap to Verstappen ahead and a 6-second gap to Hamilton behind, exited the track at T5 and directly entered the T5 escape lane.
