红牛车队荷兰车手马克斯·维斯塔潘撞毁的赛车
犯错误可能不是马克斯·维斯塔潘的一贯风格,但这位四届世界冠军在自己的主场F1比赛第一圈上恰恰就犯了这样的错误。
维斯塔潘整个周末都感觉身体不适,正赛从第七位发车,他的起步相当不错,但在驶向1号弯的四车并排时刻被挤到了草地上。随后几个弯角中他遭到了红牛替补车手劳森的挑战——对此他并不介意:“我们本来就可以比赛,所以我觉得这很正常。”
维斯塔潘最终守住了第七位,但在发车前约50分钟一场降雨打湿了赛道,第一圈就有两位车手在倾斜的最后弯角失控。虽然博托莱托在一次360度旋转中毫发无损地脱险,但红牛的超级巨星却没能控制住小红牛22,发生了严重的撞车,导致红旗出示。
关于发车时的事故,维斯塔潘评论道:“我认为起步只是右侧所发生事情的后果。没关系,这种事可能发生。”
“然后,是的,我被坑了。那个弯角还相当湿滑,当我看到干地上出现的那一刻,我心想‘现在可以加速了’,但显然这招没用。所以可能还是有点太早了。”
维斯塔潘将这次碰撞形容为“一次不轻的撞击”,但他澄清说自己“经历过更糟的”。
从成绩上看,红牛最终遭遇了四月休赛期以来最糟糕的大奖赛,劳森以第七名成为其排位最高的赛车。
维斯塔潘确实承认,就速度而言这是一个“令人失望的周末”,因为迈凯伦、法拉利和梅赛德斯都遥不可及,但他对这种局面并不感到意外。
“我希望有更多,但这个赛季你必须现实一点,”这位红牛车手坚持道,“我们是第四快的车队,所以不可能走到赞德沃特就突然能施展什么魔法。”
“事情就是这样,其他车队都带来了升级件,而我们没有。当你已经处于劣势时,这会让你更加处于劣势。所以没有什么可惊讶的,这就是我们所处的现实。”
维斯塔潘现在将专注于休息,为两周后的意大利大奖赛做准备:“我一直感觉不太舒服。我只是在期待一个假期能好好恢复,因为我真的感觉不太好。”

Max Verstappen explains what caused his race-ending F1 Dutch GP crash
Verstappen has explained what turned out to be a typical driver error
Crashed car of Red Bull Racing's Dutch driver Max Verstappen
Making mistakes may be uncharacteristic of Max Verstappen, but that’s exactly what the four-time world champion did on the first lap of his home Formula 1 race.
Starting the Dutch Grand Prix from seventh on the grid after feeling unwell all weekend, Verstappen took a decent getaway but found himself squeezed on the grass in a four-wide moment on the run to Turn 1. He was consequently challenged by Red Bull stand-in Liam Lawson in the following corners – which he didn’t mind: “We are allowed to race, so I think that's normal.”
Verstappen eventually held on to that seventh position, but a rain shower that occurred some 50 minutes before the start had dampened the track, and two drivers lost control in the banked final corner on lap one. While Gabriel Bortoleto escaped from a 360-degree pirouette unscathed, Red Bull’s superstar couldn’t catch the RB22 and suffered a substantial crash, which caused a red flag.
“I think the start is just a consequence of what is happening on the right. It's OK, it can happen,” Verstappen commented regarding about the incident at lights out.
“Then, yeah, I got caught out. It was still quite wet in that corner, and as soon as I saw the dry patch coming, I was like, ‘Now you can accelerate’, but clearly that didn't work. So probably it was still a bit too early.”
Verstappen described the impact as “a decent hit” but clarified he’d “had worse”.
Red Bull eventually endured its worst grand prix since the April break results-wise, with Lawson its top car in seventh.
Verstappen did admit to “a disappointing weekend” in terms of pace as McLaren, Ferrari and Mercedes were out of reach, but this situation was no surprise to him.
“I wish for more, but you need to be realistic this season,” the Red Bull racer insisted. “We are the fourth-fastest team, so it's not like walking up to Zandvoort and suddenly we can do some magic things.
“It's just how it is, other teams have brought upgrades, we haven't. When you're already on the back foot, it puts you even more on the back foot. So, there's nothing surprising, it's just the reality that we live in.”
Verstappen will now focus on resting ahead of the Italian Grand Prix, two weeks from now: “I've just not been feeling well. I'm just looking forward to a break where I can just recover also, because I really didn't feel good.”
