This time Qin Miao's overtaking line was almost identical to the one Verstappen used to push Hamilton off the track, relying on the advantage of tire and car performance to brake later than Alonso and then grab the inside line from Alonso.
The only difference was that before entering the braking point, Qin Miao had already drawn alongside Alonso's inside.
Moreover, when exiting the corner, Qin Miao wasn't as ruthless as Verstappen and left enough space for Alonso to exit the corner.
However, after exiting the corner, Qin Miao still relied on his car's more powerful tire traction to seize the inside line of T7, smoothly overtaking Alonso to reach tenth place, thus entering the points zone smoothly.
Next ahead of Qin Miao was the McLaren driver Ricardo, but after a brief tussle with Alonso, the time gap between Qin Miao and Ricardo was 1.5 seconds.
Despite using soft tires, in the first lap, Qin Miao didn't have the speed or battery power to overtake another person.
