The basic strategy for running a qualifying race with intermediate tires is to put on a set of intermediate tires and keep going around the track doing flying laps.
Watch for when the track conditions improve, or if you're lucky, catch a good flying lap window and achieve a decent result.
Q1 is not difficult nor is it stressful for Qin Miao, but for his fans, watching Qin Miao's qualifying races as usual makes them feel their blood pressure rise.
Due to the water on the track, even though Qin Miao's 4 flying laps in Q1 all marked green, having improved compared to his original times each lap, his overall speed was still not fast enough.
Qin Miao's speed was even slower than Zhou Guanyu's.
Of course, as mentioned before, Qin Miao's qualifying race only made his fans feel a rise in blood pressure, not an explosion.
Qin Miao advanced to Q2 in P11, just behind Zhou Guanyu.
The drivers eliminated in Q1 were: Bottas, Ricardo, O'Kang, Albon, and Russell.
