Just at that moment, a photographer holding a camera appeared in front of them and took a picture of the two Mercedes drivers together.
At the time, Qin Miao and Hamilton noticed each other and both smiled, nodding towards each other.
And in this picture, the biggest difference between the two Mercedes drivers was their clothing.
In October, Austin's weather was still somewhat hot, with the air temperature at 27 degrees Celsius on Thursday morning.
The perceived temperature was about 30 degrees.
So when Qin Miao came to the circuit, he dressed primarily for comfort.
He casually wore a plain white T-shirt without any patterns or slogans, paired with simple black capri pants. Actually, when heading out, Qin Miao considered wearing flip-flops, but given that he hadn't run on the Austin track before and needed to walk a lap today, he swapped for a pair of sneakers.
Qin Miao's outfit wasn't anything special, just simple and clean, something every normal person would wear.
