Of course, Qin Miao is the youngest world champion in history, and even if it rains, his skill level is still higher than most F1 drivers in the paddock.
It's just that compared to his terrifying innate talent, it seems a bit weaker.
Fortunately, the rain during today's qualifying isn't too heavy, so all the drivers are using intermediate tires.
Qin Miao still came out of the pit lane ahead of Hamilton.
In the first flying lap, Qin Miao drove conservatively and didn't clock in a very fast lap time.
However, the Mercedes team, hoping for a good result, understands that Qin Miao drives more conservatively in the rain, so they were understanding when Qin Miao merely clocked in a valid lap time on his first flying lap.
Unlike Qin Miao, who ran a 1:43.219 in his first flying lap, Hamilton immediately clocked a 1:42.627.
However, for the drivers, the first flying lap in Q1 is usually a safety lap, much like practice times without any reference value.
