维斯塔潘谈巴库0.196秒差距：冲线差距略有误导性
巴库站决赛中，维斯塔潘仅以0.196秒之差输给拉塞尔，无缘2026赛季首胜。他赛后表示这一冲线差距在一定程度上具有误导性。
为什么马克斯·维斯塔潘说巴库终点线上与乔治·拉塞尔之间0.196秒的差距有些误导性
维斯塔潘表示，实际差距足有一秒，并补充说即使排位赛没有出现引擎问题，胜利也会很难。不过，这是今年头几次之一，这位红牛车手确实享受了比赛过程
在巴库市街赛道上，拉塞尔排位赛后说的话变成了现实：这位梅赛德斯车手周五就曾预言，尽管维斯塔潘从第八位发车，他将是争夺胜利的最大威胁，而在巴库街道上激动人心的最后阶段，事实果然如此
维斯塔潘在终点线前仅以0.196秒之差错失了2026年一级方程式赛季的首场胜利，不过他赛后强调，实际差距比这个数字要略大一些
"当然，冲线时看起来很接近，但我觉得那更多是因为拉塞尔在15号弯黄旗时遇到了一点动力延迟问题"，维斯塔潘说道。
"所以如果你看最后一节比赛的话，差距一直是一秒左右，所以那大概也就是我们最终会取得的差距。"
这一说法也得到了拉塞尔本人的证实。在为博塔斯的事故松开油门后，梅赛德斯的动力单元没有立即给出他所期待的加速表现。
"黄旗出现时，我松开了动力，当我重新踩下油门时，涡轮没有压力，所以就没有动力"，这位梅赛德斯车手解释道。"马克斯差一点就在终点线上超过我了。那可就真的太可惜了，不过总的来说，这是一个难以置信的周末。"

维斯塔潘认为，即使他从第一排发车，阿塞拜疆大奖赛的结果也会是一样的。
周五，这位四届世界冠军得出结论，红牛因为引擎问题搞砸了今年最好的夺冠机会，红牛“把大好机会浪费得一塌糊涂”；但24小时后，维斯塔潘认为比赛的收尾阶段大致还是会以同样的方式展开。
“我是说，昨天的情况就是这样。你遇到了问题，这意味着你必须从第八位发车。但我认为即使我从第二位发车，以乔治（拉塞尔）的节奏，想超过去也会非常困难。”这位荷兰车手承认。
“所以说，在第一段比赛里，我当然本可以跟得更紧一些。但之后你进站，你就排在第二了，那我们大概率还是会跑出一场同样的比赛，只是互相推着对方往前跑。”
维斯塔潘在2026年首次能够真正享受F1
不过，维斯塔潘确实表示，他很享受巴库比赛的收官阶段。考虑到现行技术规则的种种不足，这是他今年第一次真正感到享受的比赛之一。
“我得说，最后那几圈非常令人享受，因为轮胎衰退几乎可以忽略不计。我们一直全力推到终点，差距始终在一秒或一点一秒左右。这种感觉真好。”

维斯塔潘在这方面也冒了风险，如果不是为了可能的分站冠军，这些风险他或许根本不会去冒。他知道红牛——尤其是开启超车模式时——拥有惊人的极速，而梅赛德斯在巴库老城周围多弯的路段更快。
为了仍然能在这条F1赛历上最长的直道上给自己保留机会，并至少每圈都能追近一些差距，维斯塔潘尝试在最后几个弯角尽量“放开”路线。
“最后那段比赛很有趣。我还亲了几堵墙，不过那只是为了在巴库这里留下我的印记！”维斯塔潘笑着说。
“所以，是的，在这里总是非常有挑战性，无论是排位赛，还是现在比赛尾声阶段，都要全力以赴地推进。这当然伴随着风险，因为内线和外线都紧贴着某些护墙，但感觉很酷。”

Why Max Verstappen says 0.196s Baku finish-line gap to George Russell is slightly misleading
Verstappen says the true margin was a full second and adds that victory would have been difficult even without the engine problem in qualifying. For one of the first times this year, however, the Red Bull driver did enjoy the racing
At the Baku City Circuit, the words Russell spoke after qualifying became reality: the Mercedes driver had already predicted on Friday that, despite starting eighth, Verstappen would pose the biggest threat for victory, and that proved to be the case in a thrilling finale around the streets of Baku.
Verstappen fell just 0.196 seconds short of his first victory of the 2026 Formula 1 season at the line, although he stressed afterwards that the actual gap was slightly larger than that.
"Of course, it looked close on the line, but I think that was more because George suffered from a little bit of boost lag in Turn 15 with the yellow flag", Verstappen said.
"So if you look at the last stint, it was always one second, so that’s probably also where we would have finished."
It is a theory that Russell himself also confirms. After lifting off for Valtteri Bottas’ crash, the Mercedes power unit did not immediately deliver the acceleration he was expecting.
"When the yellow flag came out, I lifted off the power and when I went back on, I had no turbo, so then I had no power”, the Mercedes driver explained. “Max almost got me at the line. That would have been a real shame, but all in all, it’s been an incredible weekend."

Verstappen also believes the outcome of the Azerbaijan Grand Prix would have been the same had he started from the front row.
On Friday, the four-time world champion concluded that Red Bull had "done a great job messing up" its best chance of a victory this year with the engine problem, but 24 hours later Verstappen believes the closing stages of the race would have played out in more or less the same way.
"I mean, that’s what happened yesterday. You have a problem and that means that you have to start from P8. But I think even if I started second, I think with the pace of George, it would have been very hard to pass", the Dutchman admitted.
"So maybe I could have followed him a bit better in that first stint, of course. But then you box, you’re second, and then we would probably have done the same race, just pushing each other along."
Verstappen able to enjoy F1 for one of the first times in 2026
Verstappen does, however, say that he enjoyed the closing stages in Baku, which, given all the shortcomings of the technical regulations, was one of the first times he had done so all year.
"I have to say that those last laps were very enjoyable because there was barely any deg, really. We were just pushing to the end and the gap was always, like, one second or 1.1. That was nice."

Verstappen also took risks in that respect, risks he perhaps would not have taken for any result other than a potential race win. He knew Red Bull – especially with overtake mode – had an impressive amount of top speed, while Mercedes was faster in the twisty section around Baku’s old town.
To still give himself a chance on the longest straight of the F1 calendar and at least close the gap again on every lap, Verstappen tried to ‘open up’ the final few corners as much as possible.
"That last stint was fun. I kissed a few walls as well, but that was just to leave my mark here in Baku!", Verstappen smiled.
"So, yeah, it’s always very challenging around here, qualifying and now at the end of the race as well, just pushing flat out. That comes with risk, of course, being close to certain walls on the inside and the outside, but it was cool."
