However, the audience didn't think so. In their eyes, Qin Miao was still the genius driver with the best defensive skills on the circuit.
Then, to everyone's surprise, Perez charged his battery for a lap behind Qin Miao, and on the eleventh lap's start/finish straight, using DRS and ERS, Perez overtook Qin Miao before the braking point at T1.
Although Qin Miao tried to create a hurdle in front of Perez, even taking the center line on the straight when Perez was pursuing him, giving Perez a choice: either stay on the racing line and let me brake late, or go on the dirty side and have no speed out of the corner.
But in the face of an absolute speed difference, these tricks were useless. Perez even overtook Qin Miao before the braking point and calmly brought his car back to the racing line, exiting the corner smoothly.
