罗斯伯格：拉塞尔或正以“疯狂动力”应对安东内利的挑战
尼科·罗斯伯格认为，乔治·拉塞尔目前可能正被一种类似当年他试图扭转对刘易斯·汉密尔顿连败局面时的“疯狂动力”所驱动，以在与基米·安东内利的竞争中扭转局势。

乔治·拉塞尔谈虚拟安全车如何影响了他在西班牙大奖赛中的比赛
尼科·罗斯伯格认为，乔治·拉塞尔目前将受到类似程度的“疯狂动力”驱动，以扭转对基米·安东内利的局面，就像他当年在反复失利后要战胜刘易斯·汉密尔顿一样。
拉塞尔今年首次成为世界冠军的希望日益渺茫，状态正佳的梅赛德斯队友安东内利在积分榜榜首将领先优势扩大到81分。
自从赢得3月的赛季揭幕战澳大利亚大奖赛后，季前夺冠热门拉塞尔在两人均完赛的最近10场比赛中仅两次领先安东内利，这位英国人目睹这位年轻的意大利人在蒙扎-马德里背靠背比赛中拿下本赛季第七和第八场胜利。

周日的比赛后，拉塞尔获得第五名，罗斯伯格在天空体育 F1上被问及他当年在2016年从被梅赛德斯队友汉密尔顿彻底击败后反弹赢得世界冠军的经历。
“我很大程度上是被痛苦所驱动，”罗斯伯格回忆道。
“主观上，不断输给刘易斯是痛苦的，而这恰恰驱动了一种疯狂的动力。
“乔治将处于类似的情况。他现在会如此拼命地想要找到提升。
“他会非常努力，因为我知道乔治不会放弃，他讨厌被基米一次又一次击败的局面。
“他会超级努力，但这有点困难，因为很难理解他的速度去哪了。”
2026年西班牙大奖赛集锦
拉塞尔在梅赛德斯的前四个赛季中有三个赛季是车队得分最高的车手，其中三年里两次胜过汉密尔顿（2022年和2024年），一次与新人安东内利搭档（2025年），但今年要想再次做到这一点，他需要重大逆转，因为赛历上还剩九场比赛。
罗斯伯格相信，勤奋的拉塞尔会继续努力，在W17赛车上找到突破，尽管他说这位28岁的车手不可避免地也会自我怀疑。
“我对乔治的方式印象深刻，因为他确实是个完美主义者，他试图涵盖人类表现的每一个方面，”这位天空体育 F1评论员补充道。
“我知道他在竭尽所能，我钦佩这一点。
“但正因如此，这对他更难，因为他自己也不理解。他一直很快；他一直至少与队友持平，突然之间这在他那里消失了。
“这真的很痛苦，因为你开始怀疑自己。无论你多么自信，然后就会[质疑]‘我是不是不够好？我过去是不是更好，而现在只是做错了什么？’这真的很难。”

“实际上我不在争夺中”——拉塞尔几乎排除车手冠军可能
就在前一周在蒙扎被安东内利夺走胜利（尽管队友因罚退从第19位发车）而落后66分之后，拉塞尔在进入西班牙大奖赛周末时承认，他今年要实现冠军梦“需要一些运气”。
在马德里赛道对他而言令人失望的周末，这一差距扩大到赛季最高的81分，这个周末因排位赛Q3的困难以及正赛中早早出现的虚拟安全车而受到影响。这一结果导致拉塞尔在周日晚上几乎将自己排除在争夺之外。
在评估自己对即将到来的比赛（从9月24日至26日的阿塞拜疆大奖赛开始）的策略时，拉塞尔告诉F1：“继续推进。尽管今天的成绩远非理想，但最近几场比赛更为积极。
“但这差不多就是本赛季的写照。我只需要专注于表现，继续努力帮助车队。
“我们显然处于赢得车队冠军的有利位置，实际上我已不在车手冠军的争夺中，这让我能够只专注于一场一场地比赛，努力专注于取得一些好成绩。”

“我们只需把它释放出来”——沃尔夫支持“顶级车手”拉塞尔找到突破
他的梅赛德斯车队仍然相信拉塞尔会找回最佳状态。
当被问及拉塞尔目前最艰难地在为什么而战时，梅赛德斯车队领队托托·沃尔夫说：“我不知道，因为你能看到他在最后追赶勒克莱尔时的速度。他是赛道上最快的。
“但在换胎之后，速度就不在了。
“我就是不知道它在哪里，我们必须分析，因为显然它就在他身上，就在车里，我们只需把它释放出来。”

George Russell: Mercedes driver's losses to Kimi Antonelli will feel 'painful' says Nico Rosberg as driver backed for breakthrough
George Russell fell 81 points behind Kimi Antonelli at the Madring; Russell conceded that "realistically I'm not in the fight for the drivers'" after the race; watch every session of the Azerbaijan Grand Prix from September 24-26 with a Saturday race, live on Sky Sports F1
George Russell on how the Virtual Safety Car compromised his race at the Spanish Grand Prix
Nico Rosberg believes George Russell will currently be driven by a similar level of "insane motivation" to turn the tables on Kimi Antonelli as he was to get the better of Lewis Hamilton after recurring defeats.
Russell's hopes of becoming world champion for the first time this year are increasingly slim with in-form Mercedes team-mate Antonelli opening an 81-point lead over him at the top of the standings.
Since winning March's season-opening Australian Grand Prix, pre-season title favourite Russell has only twice finished ahead of Antonelli in the last 10 races they have both completed with the Briton seeing the young Italian take his seventh and eighth wins of the season across the Monza-Madrid double header.

Rosberg was asked after Sunday's race, in which Russell finished fifth, on Sky Sports F1 about his experience of rebounding to win his world title in 2016 after being soundly beaten to the crown by Mercedes team-mate Hamilton the year before.
"I was driven a lot by the pain," recalled Rosberg.
"Subjectively, it was painful to keep losing against Lewis and that just drove an insane motivation.
"George will be in a similar situation. He will be so damn motivated at the moment to try and find improvements.
"He'll be working so hard because I know George doesn't give up and he's hating the situation of getting beaten over and over by Kimi.
"He'll be working super hard but it's a bit of a difficult one because it's hard to understand where the pace has gone for him."
Highlights from the 2026 Spanish Grand Prix
Russell has been Mercedes' top-scoring driver in three of his previous four seasons at the team, twice in three years against Hamilton (2022 and 2024) and once alongside a rookie Antonelli (2025), but he requires a major turnaround for that to be the case again this year with nine scheduled races left.
Rosberg believes the diligent Russell will keep working away to find a breakthrough with the W17 car, although says it is inevitable that the 28-year-old will be questioning himself too.
"I'm very impressed with George's approach because he's really a perfectionist and he tries to cover every aspect of his human performance," added the Sky Sports F1 pundit.
"I know he's doing everything he can, and I admire that.
"But, all the more, it's tough for him because he doesn't understand himself. He's always been fast; he's always been at least level with his team-mate and suddenly it's gone away from him there.
"It's really painful because you start to doubt yourself. It doesn't matter how confident you are, it then comes [to questioning] 'am I not good enough? Was I better in the past and I'm just doing something wrong now?' It's really difficult."

'Realistically I'm not in the fight' - Russell all-but rules out drivers' title win
Fresh from being beaten to victory by Antonelli the weekend before at Monza despite his team-mate starting a penalised 19th on the grid to fall 66 points off the pace, Russell conceded going into the Spanish Grand Prix weekend that he would "need some luck" to realise his title dreams this year.
That deficit grew to a season-high 81 points in a disappointing weekend for him at the Madring, which was compromised by a difficult Q3 in qualifying and then an early Virtual Safety Car in the race. That result led to Russell all but ruling himself out of contention on Sunday evening.
Assessing his approach for the forthcoming races, starting with the Azerbaijan Grand Prix on September 24-26, Russell told F1: "Just keep pushing along. It has been a more positive couple of races even though the result was far from great today.
"But it's kind of story of the season. I just need to focus on the performance, keep trying to help the team.
"We're obviously in a great place to win the constructors', realistically I'm not in the fight for the drivers', and that just allows me just to focus on race-by-race and trying to focus on getting some good results."

'We just have to unlock it' - Wolff backing 'top driver' Russell to find breakthrough
His Mercedes team remain convinced Russell will rediscover his best form.
Asked what Russell was fighting hardest at the moment, Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff said: "I don't know, because you can see the pace he had towards the end when he was catching Leclerc. He was fastest out on track.
"But after the tyre changes, the pace wasn't there.
"I just don't know where it is and we have to analyse it, because clearly it's in him, it's in the car, and we just have to unlock it."
