Nonetheless, before exiting the corner, Qin Miao still tried to get as close as possible to the left side, taking a wider exit line.
By doing so, Qin Miao mainly aimed to gain a faster relative speed compared to Long Jia De, who was squeezed towards the inside line, on the upcoming straight.
Additionally, after exiting the corner, Qin Miao can accelerate using Long Jia De's slipstream, giving him a chance to attack Long Jia De on the straight before entering T3.
Exiting T1, with superior tire grip and better corner exit control compared to Long Jia De, Qin Miao achieved a relative speed advantage of nearly 10 km/h.
However, since Qin Miao took a wider line when entering the corner, Long Jia De opened up a gap of at least 0.3 seconds with Qin Miao during the exit phase.
