Directly placed first in Q1.

Qin Miao naturally saw his performance, and the three purple sectors displayed on the steering wheel let him know that he was temporarily in first place.

"The performance is very good. We can safely make it through Q1, and we don't need to run another flying lap," Frankie said over the TR after Qin Miao completed the lap.

"Alright," Qin Miao agreed, thinking the same.

After finishing the first lap of Q1 and returning to the garage, Qin Miao indeed did not come out again.

Upon realizing Qin Miao's intention, the fans angrily cursed: Lazy dog, Qin the Second!

In the end, Qin Miao surprisingly moved into Q2 in first place.

The usual thrilling qualification drama in Qin Miao's stages was absent, making it a bit uncomfortable for those viewers accustomed to Qin Miao not making an effort until Q3.

Of course, the familiar feeling for the audience soon returned.

Q2.

Qin Miao's first flying lap used the soft tires from Q1, and after recharging on the track for one lap, Qin Miao started speeding on the track again.

Then, after completing the first flying lap of Q2, Qin Miao's time came out to be 1 minute 17.566 seconds.

Although this result was 0.011 seconds slower than his first flying lap, don't forget to consider Qin Miao's tire wear; his overall speed was faster this lap.

It's worth mentioning that this result was still good enough to secure a spot in Q3, as the Q3 cutoff time was 1 minute 18 seconds.

Even though Qin Miao was only 0.4 seconds ahead of the cutoff, in racing, this 0.4 seconds is a significant gap, not something one can just overcome by mere words.

"I think one lap is enough for Q2."

Qin Miao understood this, so he mentioned it in the TR, then prepared to clock off early like in Q1.

But at this moment, Toto's voice directly entered the TR between Qin Miao and Frankie: "Qin, I think this lap's performance is a bit slow, run one more lap."

Toto's temple veins slightly bulged as FIA's driver tire reserves showed Hamilton's spare tire reserves were very normal, just the normal weekend reserve for every driver.

And Qin Miao?

One set of hard tires, two sets of medium tires, and if Qin Miao decided not to run anymore after Q2 with the soft tires, he would still have four sets of soft tires left for Q3.

Even if he used two sets and discarded one in Q3, during the weekend's main race, Qin Miao would still have one set of hard tires, two sets of medium tires, and one set of soft tires available.

What?

Do you think after the race, you can take these tires home for breeding or something?

Qin Miao: "…Oh."

After returning to the pit stop, Qin Miao was pushed back to the P room, where the engineers began charging the car battery and fitted new soft tires, wrapping them with tire warmers.

During this time, all Qin Miao could do was watch other drivers' performances and the live broadcast through the two screens in front of his slippers.

With four minutes left on the Q2 clock, Qin Miao was released again, but this lap he made a mistake in the second sector, giving too much throttle through turns seven and eight, causing the rear wheels to slightly skid.

Although he managed to recover, this lap's performance was ruined.

However, Qin Miao still managed to enter Q3 in seventh position based on his first flying lap in Q2.

Seeing Qin Miao's position advancing in Q2, his fans exclaimed: The familiar feeling of brain damage is back.
