Of course, even though Hamilton realized Qin Miao's car setup was much better than his own, he had the intention to change his car's setup.
But in the end, Hamilton still didn't take action.
After all, it was already somewhat late, and even if optimized, it would only bring about a lap time improvement of approximately 0.2 seconds.
While this 0.2 seconds per lap seems tempting, compared to being penalized to the back of the grid, the 0.2-second speed gap isn't unacceptable.
Moreover, if an accident occurs during the sprint race or sprint qualifying session, and the car suffers damage to its suspension or elsewhere, he would have to start the main race from the pits.
So, after weighing the pros and cons, Old Man could only admire Qin Miao's car setup without doing anything else.
To be honest, it's a bit irritating.
However, it's not worth wasting the qualifying result for these eight points from the sprint race.
