"Okay, our pace is quite good. If possible, try to conserve your tires; we want to extend this stint and then put you on new tires later."
Upon hearing the team's arrangement, Qin Miao was full of questions.
He didn't understand why the team arranged it this way.
But as mentioned before, since they adopted a two-stop strategy, Qin Miao didn't need to think much, just trust the team's judgment.
So without thinking, Qin Miao said, "Got it."
He didn't ask why or when to pit.
You could say that Qin Miao had already tossed out his own mind at this moment; all he could think about was racing, racing faster!
The team, after confirming Qin Miao received the message, started using simulator and data models to craft a new pit strategy for him based on his race and practice data.
On the 33rd lap, Qin Miao caught up to Leclerc, who was fourth ahead of him.
Don't be fooled by Qin Miao's impressive position, as the race was only 33 laps in, and he had climbed from the back to fifth.
