Despite having the advantage of a later pit stop, Verstappen's lap times are still faster than Qin Miao's, but even his lap times are inevitably starting to decline.
At this moment, Qin Miao hears the team strategy group synchronize a message to him from the TR: "We expect Verstappen to catch up to your DRS zone by lap 53."
According to the team's strategy group estimates, if Qin Miao wants to win today's race, he needs to defend against Verstappen on the track for four laps.
This news for a typical F1 driver would be tantamount to a bolt from the blue.
After all, you worked so hard on the track for so long, and in the end, the championship you strove for is likely not going to be yours.
After all, Verstappen's lap times are faster than yours, and with four laps of attack left after catching up to you, a normal driver would know there's a high chance they won't be able to defend.
But at this moment, Qin Miao's heart is relatively calm.
