Putting aside off-track matters, Qin Miao has already fallen out of championship contention in this American Grand Prix.
Due to engine wear, Qin Miao needs to replace the entire power unit for this race.
This was something the team had planned for a long time, and Qin Miao was mentally prepared, so he wasn't expecting too much out of the American race.
The team's and Qin Miao's expectation for this race was merely to finish in the top five.
This time, the team replaced Qin Miao's entire power unit, unlike Hamilton in the last race, who only swapped out the internal combustion engine.
The replacements for Qin Miao this time include the internal combustion engine, MGU-K, MGU-H, turbo, and exhaust system.
As a result, Qin Miao's penalty is more severe than Hamilton's. Hamilton got a 10-place grid penalty, while Qin Miao starts from the back of the grid.
