As a master of tire conservation, Qin Miao naturally remained calm, fully confident that a safety car would surely appear in a race with such heavy rain.
Zhou Guanyu, ahead of Qin Miao, also considered making a pit stop. But seeing Qin Miao maintaining a stable gap of two seconds behind him, he dared not act rashly and held on together with Qin Miao outside.
On lap 22, Zhou Guanyu's car could hold on no longer, choosing to pit for a tire change, unwittingly handing the lead position to Qin Miao, who still wasn't ready to pit.
When Zhou Guanyu pitted, Qin Miao's TR was filled with Roxin's voice: "Qin Miao! Push, your tires have no wear issues now, do your best lap time and try to overcut Zhou Guanyu."
Qin Miao knew without Roxin reminding him what he needed to do to retain the championship.
But since it's still raining, all Qin Miao could ensure was pushing his speed to the limit without making mistakes.
