墨西哥大奖赛:勒克莱尔FP2领先,梅赛德斯和麦克拉伦紧随其后
勒克莱尔在墨西哥大奖赛第二场自由练习赛中领先,尽管队友汉密尔顿退赛。
F1墨西哥大奖赛:查尔斯·勒克莱尔在FP2中击败麦克拉伦和梅赛德斯,位居第一
墨西哥城FP2前三名分别来自三个不同的车队
尽管法拉利队友刘易斯·汉密尔顿退赛,查尔斯·勒克莱尔还是在墨西哥大奖赛完美收官,他在第二场F1练习赛中排名第一
摩纳哥车手在FP1中以1分18.128秒的成绩领先,然后在阿特鲁多·赫尔曼诺斯·罗德里格斯赛道FP2中将成绩提升至1分17.827秒,击败了麦克拉伦的兰多·诺里斯,位居第二。
诺里斯是10位在开幕式练习中将赛车交给‘新手’的车手之一,但在FP2的参赛名单恢复正常,对于第二场一个小时的练习,很多人提前离开并不令人意外。
所有三种轮胎配方在早期都得到了使用,中速跑者汉密尔顿最初以1分18.741秒的成绩设定了节奏,比第二名的皮亚斯特里在硬橡胶轮胎上的1分19.239秒快了0.498秒。
但是,就像FP1一样,在低抓地力赛道上,赛道演变对比赛产生了重大影响,勒克莱尔迅速将队友的基准成绩降低了0.484秒,达到了1分18.257秒。
这是在中等轮胎上完成的,而早期使用软胎最快的第六名是维斯塔潘,他设定了1分19.312秒的成绩,并在15分钟时引发了红旗。
红牛车手选择在赛道区域与小红牛车队李·劳森进行车轮战,这一相当过激的行为导致碎片飞散至赛道上。
因此,练习赛暂停了五分钟,随后恢复绿色信号,中等速度的基米·安东内利以1分18.559秒的成绩,落后勒克莱尔0.302秒,迅速将法拉利车队分开。
但这位摩纳哥车手随后似乎打算通过在第一和第二区域使用紫色轮胎来扩大他的优势,结果却在赛道区域失控,中断了他的圈速。
这让他失去了领先地位,因为作为世界冠军的诺里斯,也使用了软胎,在25分钟后以1分18.161秒的成绩领先,就在勒克莱尔在1号弯锁死并中断又一圈之前。
皮亚斯特里在软胎上以1m18.896s的成绩成功超越了法拉利的双雄,就在汉密尔顿在主直道开始失去动力并在28分钟后停在3号弯出口的时候。
这位七届世界冠军引发了一次短暂的虚拟安全车,随后在第二半场,软胎圈速进一步下滑,勒克莱尔将基准成绩提高了0.195s,达到了1m17.966s。
勒克莱尔在下一圈又有所提高,成绩为1m17.827s,比第二名的诺里斯快了0.103s,诺里斯将自己的MCL40赛车交给了Leonardo Fornaroli进行FP1(自由练习)。
但随着剩余20分钟,这标志着软胎圈次的结束,因为车手们开始进行高油量跑,尽管这对即将离队的哈斯车手埃斯特班·奥康来说并不受欢迎。
法国人告诉赛车工程师劳拉·穆勒“别对我这么做”,当她建议切换到中等橡胶轮胎时,这个切换最终还是发生了。
尽管如此,晚些时候的高燃油量测试让勒克莱尔仍然保持着领先,他的成绩是1m17.930s,这使26岁的他仅比第三名的乔治·拉塞尔快了0.003s。
他的梅赛德斯队友安东内利以1m18.044s的成绩落后一秒,领先第五名的维斯塔潘(1m18.138s)和第六名的红牛车队队友伊萨克·哈德贾(1m18.237s)。
小红牛车队通过新秀阿维德·林德布拉德(1m18.389s)获得了第七名,而阿尔卑斯车队的皮埃尔·加斯利(1m18.407s)、劳森(1m18.455s)和皮亚斯特里(1m18.469s)分别完成了前十名。

F1 Mexico GP: Charles Leclerc pips McLaren and Mercedes to top FP2
Three different teams were represented in the top three of FP2 in Mexico City
Charles Leclerc completed a perfect Friday at the Mexico Grand Prix after topping the second Formula 1 practice session, in spite of Ferrari team-mate Lewis Hamilton retiring.
The Monegasque topped FP1 with a 1m18.128s before lowering that to a 1m17.827s in FP2 at Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez, pipping McLaren’s Lando Norris in second.
Norris was one of 10 drivers to have handed their car to a ‘rookie’ in opening practice, but the entry list returned to normal for FP2, with it no surprise to see many out early for the second one-hour session.
All three tyre compounds were in use early on and medium-runner Hamilton initially set the pace with a 1m18.741s, 0.498s quicker than second-placed Piastri on hard rubber in his McLaren.
But, like in FP1, track evolution made a significant difference at the low-grip circuit as Leclerc quickly lowered his team-mate’s benchmark by 0.484s to a 1m18.257s.
That was done on medium tyres whereas quickest with the softs early on was sixth-placed Max Verstappen, who set a 1m19.312s before contributing to the 15th-minute red flag.
The Red Bull driver opted to go wheel to wheel with Racing Bulls’ Liam Lawson through the stadium sector and the rather excessive incident caused debris to fly onto the track.
So the session was halted for five minutes before green conditions returned and medium runner Kimi Antonelli quickly split the Ferrari pair with a 1m18.559s, 0.302s behind Leclerc.
But the Monegasque did subsequently appear set to stretch his advantage on soft tyres by going purple in the first two sectors, only to go wide through the stadium and abort his lap.
That cost him the lead as reigning world champion Norris, also now on softs, went top after 25 minutes with a 1m18.161s, moments before Leclerc locked up into Turn 1 and aborted yet another lap.
Piastri then split the Ferrari duo with a 1m18.896s on softs, just as Hamilton started to lose power down the main straight before stopping at the Turn 3 exit after 28 minutes.
The seven-time world champion caused a brief VSC, before lap times tumbled further on the softs in the second half as Leclerc lowered the benchmark by 0.195s to a 1m17.966s.
Leclerc went better again on his next lap, a 1m17.827s, which was 0.103s quicker than second-placed Norris, who gave his MCL40 to Leonardo Fornaroli for FP1.
But with 20 minutes remaining that marked the end of the soft-tyre laps as drivers started their high-fuel runs, though this came much to the dislike of outgoing Haas driver Esteban Ocon.
The Frenchman told race engineer Laura Mueller “don’t do that to me” when she suggested going onto medium rubber, a switch that still ended up happening.
Regardless, the late high-fuel runs meant Leclerc remained the benchmark ahead of Norris’ 1m17.930s, which put the 26-year-old just 0.003s ahead of third-placed George Russell.
His Mercedes team-mate Antonelli finished one behind with a 1m18.044s, ahead of Verstappen (1m18.138s) in fifth and sixth-placed Isack Hadjar (1m18.237s) aboard the sister Red Bull.
Racing Bulls took seventh via rookie Arvid Lindblad (1m18.389s), while Alpine’s Pierre Gasly (1m18.407s), Lawson (1m18.455s) and Piastri (1m18.469s) respectively completed the top 10.
