After sending a congratulatory text to the other party and putting away his phone, Qin Miao began preparing for the practice race.
Because of the rain this week, Mercedes' team did not get very good data from the two practice sessions on Friday.
Therefore, today's third practice is particularly important, as the setup found during this session will essentially determine the afternoon qualifying and Qin Miao's performance in tomorrow's race.
However, Qin Miao didn't have concerns in this regard. He found a setup that felt most comfortable to him in about half an hour.
For the remainder of the time, Qin Miao focused his energy on clocking lap times.
After all, Suzuka Circuit is not an easy track for overtaking, so Qin Miao hopes to achieve a good result during qualifying.
But compared to normal qualifying, during the practice session, the team added an extra 30 liters of fuel to Qin Miao's tank while he was clocking the fastest lap time.
