兰斯·斯特罗尔成为F1首位100次Q1淘汰车手
兰斯·斯特罗尔在意大利大奖赛排位赛中垫底,成为自2006年三阶段排位赛制度引入以来首位达到100次Q1淘汰的车手。
兰斯·斯特罗尔成为首位在Q1被淘汰达100次的F1车手
这位阿斯顿·马丁车手在蒙扎排位垫底,成为自2006年F1引入三节排位赛制以来首位达到这一百次里程碑的车手
兰斯·斯特罗尔创下了一项他并不想要的F1纪录,成为自2006年引入三节排位赛制以来首位累计100次在Q1被淘汰的车手。
这位加拿大车手在周日意大利大奖赛的排位中垫底,结束时仅比队友费尔南多·阿隆索慢了不到十分之一秒——尽管阿隆索未能在排位赛尾声完成最后一飞。
这延续了一个周末的局势:尽管阿斯顿·马丁在赞德沃特因本田升级版动力单元的到来以及用于增强其匈牙利大规模升级的额外改进而得到提振,但其整体动力不足的问题仍然暴露无遗。
AMR26的速度始终比梅赛德斯的赛车慢20公里/小时,这也是它在Q1中落后皮埃尔·加斯利的阿尔派全场2.6秒的主要原因。
然而,斯托尔在回答时一如既往地简短生硬,他对阿斯顿·马丁缺乏速度完全不感到意外。对于周日正赛的前景,他的热情——或者说热情的缺失——也没有任何提升,这暗示着两辆绿车在整场比赛中都将远远落后。
"引擎的表现和我们的预期一致,"他说,"我们慢了三秒,所以明天我们不可能跟上大部队。"
斯特罗尔在2017年澳大利亚大奖赛代表威廉姆斯出战的首场F1比赛中就在Q1被淘汰,这是他职业生涯的第一次,当时他距离马库斯·埃里克森慢了0.9秒,后者是那个周末最后一位晋级Q2的车手。
随后一周在上海,他反弹闯入Q3,不过与塞尔吉奥·佩雷斯的碰撞让他的比赛在第一圈就告终。然而,斯特罗尔在蒙特利尔的主场比赛中拿下了个人首个F1积分,随后又在混乱的阿塞拜疆大奖赛中登上领奖台。
而在另一个极端,斯特罗尔在职业生涯中的2020年土耳其大奖赛拿下过杆位,赛点车队强劲的RP20底盘以及他自己在半湿赛道上的优势让他大放异彩。那一年他没有在任何一站的Q1中被淘汰。
然而,他最近的多个赛季大多都在排位赛第一阶段为摆脱淘汰区而挣扎,因为阿斯顿·马丁的竞争力每况愈下,而他的纪录还因威廉姆斯艰难的2018赛季而进一步恶化,那一年他在Q1被淘汰了15次。本赛季他甚至没有一次逃出过Q1。

Lance Stroll becomes first F1 driver to reach 100 Q1 eliminations
The Aston Martin driver qualified last at Monza to become the first driver to hit the century since F1 introduced its three-part qualifying format in 2006
Lance Stroll managed an unwanted Formula 1 record as he became the first driver to register 100 Q1 eliminations since the three-part qualifying system was introduced in 2006.
The Canadian qualified last for Sunday's Italian Grand Prix, ending the session just under a tenth down on team-mate Fernando Alonso - although Alonso was unable to produce a final run at the close of the session.
This continues a weekend where Aston Martin, despite having been boosted in Zandvoort by the arrival of an updated Honda powertrain and additional upgrades to augment its Hungary overhaul, was exposed by its overall lack of power.
The AMR26 was consistently 20km/h down on the Mercedes cars, contributing to much of the 2.6s deficit to Pierre Gasly's Alpine around the lap during Q1.
Stroll, however, was as curt as ever in his responses as he was wholly unsurprised by Aston Martin's lack of pace. His enthusiasm, or lack thereof, did not perk up at the prospect of Sunday's race either - suggesting that the two green cars would be miles off throughout.
"It was what we expected [with the] engine," he said. "We're three seconds off, so we're not going to stay with the pack tomorrow."
Stroll secured his first Q1 elimination in his first F1 race, driving for Williams at the 2017 Australian Grand Prix, and was nine-tenths shy of Marcus Ericsson - who was the final driver to secure progression to Q2 on that weekend.
He rebounded with a Q3 appearance in the following weekend at Shanghai, although contact with Sergio Perez put an end to his race on the opening lap. However, Stroll claimed his maiden F1 points at his home race in Montreal, following that up with a podium finish at a wild Azerbaijan Grand Prix.
At the other end of the spectrum, Stroll has secured a pole position during his career at 2020 Turkish Grand Prix, coming alive with Racing Point's potent RP20 chassis and his own strengths on damp circuits. He did not record a single drop in Q1 during that year.
However, most of his recent seasons have been spent fighting against the drop zone in the first part of qualifying as Aston Martin's fortunes have dwindled, and his record augmented by Williams' difficult 2018 in which he dropped out in Q1 on 15 occasions. He has not escaped Q1 at all this season.
