After discussing with the team, Hamilton first provided a slipstream for Qin Miao, and then Qin Miao did the same for Hamilton.
This arrangement seemed very fair, as neither of them would be disadvantaged, but in reality, Qin Miao was at a slight disadvantage compared to Hamilton.
After all, the driver who goes first experiences less optimal track conditions compared to the driver who follows.
But there was no other way; although Toto said he wouldn't interfere in the competition between himself and Hamilton, Mercedes subconsciously showed a bit of favoritism towards Hamilton compared to Qin Miao.
Qin Miao couldn't say much about this because he was the newcomer after all.
Moreover, considering Hamilton's contribution to the Mercedes team, Qin Miao didn't feel resentful about this preferential treatment.
