At this point, it's still the warm-up lap, so Matthew eventually pushed him back to the pits where, with the team's ignition tools, the car was restarted and set off from the pits.
F2 cars are standardized, and Ilott doesn't have the extraordinary skills of Qin Miao, so this race is basically ruined for him.
After this small interlude, the rest of the race proceeded normally, characterized by a steady pace and calm conditions.
To put it simply, Qin Miao had a perfect start, maintained a stable speed to widen the gap with the cars behind, and even after 19 laps on the Silverstone Circuit with serious tire wear, his speed hadn't dropped much.
However, after 19 laps, he chose to enter the pit to change tires, and there was a mistake, which caused a three-second delay in the tire change for Qin Miao.
But before entering the pit, Qin Miao's relative time gap with the car behind was over nine seconds, so losing those three seconds was not significant at all.
