In today's race, his speed is just a bit slower than Lord's. Originally, he thought it's the last race anyway, so he'd try to score points if possible, and if not, beating his teammate Alonso would suffice.
When facing Qin Miao, O'Kang felt the same as other mid- and lower-tier drivers, with no inclination to resist.
If Qin Miao caught up, he'd just defend a bit. Of course, it was just a try, and if Qin Miao was too fast, he'd let him pass; maintaining his own race pace was more important.
But suddenly, seeing Yuki Tsunoda slow down deliberately, letting him into his DRS zone, O'Kang understood Tsunoda's intent.
Even though seeing Tsunoda slow down triggered a thought to overtake him using DRS, with an external threat at hand, O'Kang knew what was more important and didn't attack Tsunoda actively.
Instead, he used this DRS train to defend against Qin Miao behind him.
