Before arriving at the DRS zone, Qin Miao had already pulled out and completed an outside pass on Norris, and after entering the DRS zone, sped up slightly, beginning to overtake Norris ahead at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Norris's corner exit speed was already at his limit, yet watching Qin Miao overtake him from the outside lane, Norris didn't feel much negativity, more of a helplessness.
Although McLaren also uses Mercedes engines, Mercedes is still much superior in terms of aerodynamics. Moreover, in this race, Qin Miao's car setup had very low downforce, achieving what could be said to be the highest top speed in this race.
Ultimately, Qin Miao completed his overtake of Norris before the braking point.
After overtaking Norris, Qin Miao moved up a position, reaching fifth place.
