新加坡大奖赛期间，安东内利为何与梅赛德斯刹车斗争
安东内利在新加坡大奖赛中再次获得领奖台位置，领先队友乔治·拉塞尔102分，掌控着车手锦标赛。但他在刹车失灵后险些撞上护栏。
为什么基米·安东内利在新加坡大奖赛中与梅赛德斯刹车作斗争
梅赛德斯车手在跟车过程中遇到了刹车力不足的问题
基米·安东内利带着另一个领奖台的成绩和比队友乔治·拉塞尔高出102分的领先优势离开了滨海湾街道赛道。他确实掌控着车手锦标赛，因为他又完成了一场精彩的比赛。但他在将梅赛德斯赛车撞上护栏后差点离开赛道，因为刹车踏板开始出现异常。
在红牛的马克斯·维斯塔潘和法拉利的查尔斯·勒克莱尔之后获得第三名的成绩背后隐藏着一场令人惊讶的紧张驾驶。
安东内利的比赛在灯光还未熄灭时就已经出现了问题，因为车队在赛车停在赛道上时发现了刹车传感器故障。修复工作立即进行，但车队不得不在没有刹车数据的情况下驾驶他的赛车。
在比赛中，这位年轻的意大利人抱怨说没有足够的刹车力。在新加坡赛事之后的新闻发布会上，他回答了关于他是如何处理这个问题的提问。
“嗯，我只是尽量在每次刹车前抬起并滑行，以便到达得慢一些，并减少对油门的压力，”他说。‘特别是在VSC重启时，当我刹车时，什么也没发生。我的刹车性能真的很差，刹车力不足，我差点撞上墙。’
“所以，那里真的很棘手，而且油门也很长。但这也是可以预料的。你知道，我已经在充满污浊空气的赛车后面跑了三分之二的比赛，显然非常热。”
“此外，我们还遇到了刹车传感器的故障，所以我们甚至没有刹车数据的记录。我们不知道它们的温度是多少，所以一切都只能凭感觉。但是它们很热，因为我甚至能闻到，所以并不愉快。”
新的套件仍然有很窄的操作窗口
车手冠军也被问及了他在马来西亚赛车未能达到预期后，第二次在梅赛德斯上使用的升级套件。
““我认为在这个赛道上，还不是，”安东内利承认。“在这个有很多低速的赛道上，性能还没有达到最佳。这仅仅是因为有了旧的套件，你知道该把车放在哪里，哪个窗口，车会运行得非常好。”"
“有了这个新套件，我们看到了它的潜力，它能带来的性能，我在某些角落确实感受到了。但汽车目前运行的空间窗口太小了。所以在驾驶上，它对你在接近弯道或攻击刹车的方式上所做的任何不同都非常敏感。”
“所以，我觉得，是的，这个套件将会更快，我认为一旦我们了解了如何发挥其全部潜力，它将是一个很好的进步。”
Austin 将会是 Brackley 车队的下一个机会。”

Why Kimi Antonelli was left fighting his Mercedes brakes during the Singapore GP
The Mercedes driver struggled with poor stopping power behind traffic
Kimi Antonelli left the Marina Bay Circuit with another podium finish and a 102-point lead over team-mate George Russell. He is indeed in control of the drivers' championship with another great race under his belt. But he almost left the track after putting his Mercedes into a barrier because the brake pedal started misbehaving.
The third-place finish behind Red Bull's Max Verstappen and Ferrari's Charles Leclerc hid a surprisingly fraught drive.
Antonelli's race started with an issue before the lights even turned off as the team found a brake sensor fault while the car was sat on the grid. The fix was carried out there and then, but the team had to run his car without any brake data.
More issues came during the race when the young Italian complained of having no stopping power. During the press conference following his Singapore campaign, he answered questions of how he drove around the issue.
"Well, just trying to lift and coast before every braking and to arrive a bit slower and put less pressure on the pedal," he said. "Because especially on the restart of the VSC, when I went to brake, nothing happened. I had really poor stopping, brake power and I almost went into the wall.
"So, it was just very tricky out there, and also the pedal was very long. But it was also kind of expected. You know, I've run three-quarters of the race behind a car in dirty air and obviously being so hot.
"Plus, we also had the sensor issue on the brakes, so we didn't even have the data about the brakes. We didn't know exactly what temperature they were running, so it was all about feeling. But they were hot because I could even smell it, so it was not very pleasant."
The new package still has a narrow operating window
The title leader was also asked about the upgrade package he ran on the Mercedes for the second time after the car failed to deliver in Malaysia.
"I think on this track, not yet," Antonelli admitted. "On this track, where you have a lot of slow speed, still not quite there in terms of performance. It's just because with the old package, you know exactly where to put the car, which window, and the car works very nicely.
"With this new package, we see the potential, the performance that it can bring, and I do feel it in certain corners. But the window is just too small of where the car operates at this moment. So also in driving, it's very sensitive to any differences that you do in the way you approach a corner or how you attack braking.
"So, I feel like, yes, the package is going to be faster and it's going to be, yeah, I think it can be a good step forward once we understand how to use the full potential."
Austin will be the Brackley outfit's next opportunity.
