勒克莱尔：迈凯伦和红牛取得了法拉利没有的进步
夏尔·勒克莱尔认为，阿塞拜疆大奖赛后红牛在底盘性能上已明显领先法拉利，迈凯伦也大幅提升。
夏尔·勒克莱尔：“迈凯伦和红牛迈出了我们没有迈出的那一步”
法拉利在阿塞拜疆大奖赛上过得艰难，因为对手F1车队为巴库带来了大量升级
勒克莱尔在F1阿塞拜疆大奖赛结束后认为，红牛如今在底盘性能方面对法拉利拥有明显优势，而迈凯伦也有了显著进步。
这两支车队都为巴库带来了重要的升级套件，重点集中在侧箱、底板和扩散器上——迈凯伦的升级还包括修改后的引擎盖、后悬架和尾翼，而红牛的升级则包含新的后视镜和座舱保护环（halo）。与此同时，法拉利的赛车则保持原样未做改动。
勒克莱尔在排位赛中惊险地锁定了头排发车位置，在第三节排位赛中以0.001秒的优势击败迈凯伦的奥斯卡·皮亚斯特里，并以0.137秒的优势击败红牛的伊萨克·哈贾尔。然而，这位摩纳哥车手到第四圈时已经远远落后于第五位；他最终能获得第四名，要归功于皮亚斯特里在一号弯刹车过晚冲出弯道的失误，以及基米·安东内利在排位赛中发生撞车、不得不从第16位发车在车阵中苦苦追赶。
“对我们来说，这场比赛有点无聊，”勒克莱尔说。“不幸的是，我们起步很糟糕，这可能是今天我们唯一能做得好得多的事情。在那之后，我们完全没有速度。和红牛相比，防守非常困难，因为我们的直道速度太慢了。”
“我们目前在原始速度上就是很挣扎。”
他补充道：“两辆红牛太快了，显然乔治·拉塞尔也相当强势。”
队友刘易斯·汉密尔顿对法拉利速度不足的问题则没有那么健谈。当被问到车队现在是否拥有第四快的赛车时，这位七届世界冠军回答道：“这有什么重要的？”
当Motorsport.com进一步追问红牛的速度有多么出人意料时——尽管马克斯·维斯塔潘在排位赛中落后1.6秒，却仍然挑战了乔治·拉塞尔的冠军，而伊萨克·哈贾尔在第三节排位赛中比梅赛德斯慢了一秒——汉密尔顿回应道：“我真的不会去想其他任何人。”
虽然勒克莱尔认为巴库赛道并不适合法拉利，但这位28岁的车手相信，SF-26这个周末表现不佳——尽管16号赛车再次使用了ADUO2动力单元——是因为对手们带来了升级。
“迈凯伦和红牛凭借他们带来的升级向前迈了一步，”他说。“他们最近进步了，向前迈出了我们没有做到的一步。而我们必须做出反应，因为现在损失一些速度之后要追回来会非常困难。所以希望我们能很快做出反应。”
研发显然受到预算上限和空气动力学测试限制的制约，但勒克莱尔表示，法拉利“即将有一些新东西带来”。
“至于这是否足以缩小差距，由于不知道其他车队还藏有什么底牌，那就是另一回事了，”他补充道，“但可以肯定的是，我们有一些新东西应该能帮助我们向前迈进一步。”

Charles Leclerc: “McLaren and Red Bull did a step forward that we didn’t do”
Ferrari had a tough Azerbaijan GP, as rival F1 teams brought substantial upgrades to Baku
Red Bull now has a clear advantage over Ferrari in terms of chassis performance, with McLaren having also markedly improved, Charles Leclerc believes following the Formula 1 Azerbaijan Grand Prix.
Both teams brought significant upgrade packages to Baku, focusing on the sidepods, floor and diffuser – McLaren’s also included a revised engine cover, rear suspension and rear wing while Red Bull’s featured new mirrors and halo. Meanwhile, Ferrari kept its car untouched.
Leclerc narrowly clinched a front-row spot on the grid, outpacing McLaren’s Oscar Piastri by 0.001s and Red Bull’s Isack Hadjar by 0.137s in Q3. However, the Monegasque faded to a distant fifth by lap four; he only finished fourth courtesy of a late mistake by Piastri, who ran deep into Turn 1, and Kimi Antonelli’s qualifying crash meaning he was fighting through the pack after starting 16th.
“It was a bit of a boring race for us,” Leclerc said. “Unfortunately, we had a bad start, which was probably the only thing we could have done much better today. After that, we just had no pace. Compared to the Red Bull, it was very difficult to defend because in the straight line we are too slow.
“We are just struggling with raw pace at the moment.”
He added: “The two Red Bulls were too quick and obviously George [Russell] was too strong as well.”
Team-mate Lewis Hamilton wasn’t as loquacious about Ferrari’s lack of speed. Asked if the Scuderia now had the fourth-fastest car, the seven-time world champion replied: “What’s the importance of that?”
Pressed by Motorsport.com on how unexpected Red Bull’s pace was – after Max Verstappen challenged George Russell for victory despite qualifying 1.6s down while Isack Hadjar was a second slower than the Mercedes in Q3 – Hamilton responded: “I don't really think about anybody else.”
While Leclerc doesn’t think the Baku track suits the Ferrari, the 28-year-old believes the SF-26’s lack of performance this weekend – despite running the ADUO2 power unit again on the #16 car – was down to the rivals' updates.
“McLaren and Red Bull did a step forward with the upgrades they are bringing,” he said. “They have grown recently, they did a step forward that we didn't do. And we must react, because losing some pace now is going to be very difficult to take it back. So hopefully we can react very soon.”
Development is obviously limited by the budget cap and the aerodynamic testing restrictions, but Ferrari has “a few things coming”, Leclerc indicated.
“Whether it's going to be enough to close the gap, not knowing what the others have in store as well is another matter,” he added. “But surely, we've got a few things that should help us do some steps forward.”
