But even with such an excellent start, Qin Miao didn't significantly shorten the time gap with Verstappen and Hamilton ahead, only slowly approaching the two.
Interestingly, among the top three drivers, Verstappen's start was surprisingly the worst.
Seeing this, Qin Miao realized that although these two rivals started slower than him today, they weren't too far off.
Therefore, the start speeds of the top three drivers were quite intriguing, the closer to the rear, the faster the start.
Clearly, Hamilton's inside line start was faster than Verstappen's, giving him an absolute advantage in the upcoming battles.
Verstappen himself is a highly competitive driver, and although winning the world championship this season is out of the question, he still has the possibility to help Red Bull secure the Constructors' Championship.
Therefore, at the start phase, Verstappen, realizing his disadvantage, didn't want to just give away his leading position.
