It's somewhat unfortunate that the strategy didn't work out too well; Verstappen's start was only mediocre.
After the attack and defense of two races, Verstappen also knew that under normal conditions, it would be difficult for him to overtake Qin Miao. So after realizing he couldn't surpass Qin Miao at the start, he simply gave up the attack in the subsequent race, instead staying behind Qin Miao's car, charging his battery while waiting for DRS to activate.
However, accidents never quite arrive unannounced.
On the second lap of the starting straight, Hamilton and Qin Miao came within a one-second gap after one lap, crossing the finish line one after another and then passing T1.
Following were Verstappen, Leclerc, and the other cars at the back.
