2026赛季F1巴林大奖赛移师马来西亚雪邦 五大看点前瞻
F1将于本周末在马来西亚雪邦赛道举办2026赛季第16站巴林大奖赛，这是三连赛的中段。由于中东持续冲突迫使巴林今年早些时候取消其大奖赛，这是F1自2017年以来首次在该国比赛。
马来西亚雪邦赛道举办的F1巴林大奖赛五大看点
雪邦赛道本周末代表巴林回归F1赛历
F1将于本周末迎来当前三连赛的中段，在马来西亚举办的巴林大奖赛是2026赛季的第16轮比赛。
由于持续的中东冲突迫使巴林在今年早些时候取消其大奖赛，这是F1自2017年以来首次在该国比赛。
但这并不是唯一的话题，所以以下是在马来西亚举行的巴林大奖赛上值得关注的五件事。
雪邦曾是F1赛历上的常客，从1999年到2017年每年都举办比赛，之后由于资金不足，马来西亚大奖赛宣告结束。这是一个尤其令人遗憾的时刻，因为多年来雪邦见证了不少经典时刻：无论是2013年红牛那场臭名昭著的“Multi 21”指令事件，还是三年后汉密尔顿的夺冠希望化为泡影，抑或是1999年法拉利通过法院争议性地恢复一、二名完赛成绩。
这也是一条真正考验车手的赛道，两条长直道之间分布着一系列中高速弯角，而这两条长直道正是雪邦的标志性特征。“这条赛道太棒了，”汉密尔顿上周在巴库表示。“它确实能带来精彩的比赛，在决定一年中去哪些赛道比赛时，这应该成为考量因素之一。”
不过由于2026年新规的出台，今年的比赛应该会呈现相当不同的面貌，与巴库的情况类似，车手们必须聪明地选择在哪里释放电池电量，因为那两条长直道很容易耗光全部能量。
还需要考虑吉隆坡非常难以预测的天气，周三曾出现强雷暴，但预计周日会是干燥的。
拉塞尔真的重振状态了吗？
“如果赛季是从今天开始，或者从夏休期开始，我觉得我完全有能力去争斗。”
这是乔治·拉塞尔在杆位赢得阿塞拜疆大奖赛——这是他本赛季的第三个杆位——之后所说的话；而他的梅赛德斯队友安东内利则度过了一个相当混乱的周末，由于在第一节排位中撞车，他从第十六位发车，最终追回到第五名。
这意味着安东内利对第二名拉塞尔的积分领先优势已从81分缩小到66分，但目前赛程只剩下七轮比赛，这位英国车手清楚地知道，他的夺冠希望实际上已经破灭。
“我现在有这么大的差距，”他补充道，“形势可能很快改变。所以，我不会去追那个目标。我要的是赢下每一场比赛，顺其自然吧。”
但是他的暑假说法站得住脚吗？其实并不太站得住脚，因为从那之后他的积分差距实际上又扩大了七分，但不可否认的是，他的表现确实有了明显提升。
他能做的就是把这股势头带进这个周末，不过安东内利对此会有很大发言权，因为在巴库之前，这位20岁的车手在2026年一直表现得毫无失误。“我总是慢一拍。下个周末，我会回到自己的水准，”这位积分榜领跑者在阿塞拜疆立下誓言。
考虑到他今年的状态，人们只能期待情况会是如此。尤其是梅赛德斯还应该会带来期待已久的大规模升级套件。
红牛会表现如何？

梅赛德斯为马来西亚站准备的成套升级，对红牛来说恐怕来得不是时候，因为红牛最近才刚刚重新回到前列的争夺之中。这支奥地利车队在过去六场大奖赛中有五场登上了领奖台，包括上周末依靠对小红牛22的升级拿下的双车领奖台——不过这台赛车今年还没有赢过比赛。
但就在差距刚刚缩小之际，如果银箭车队的升级套件奏效，这一劣势可能会再度扩大。马克斯·维斯塔潘表示：“如果他们把升级带到马来西亚，那我们的处境就会变得更艰难一些。”
“如果梅赛德斯带来了升级而且确实有效，那他们就会再领先一步，而这不是你想看到的。这会让夺冠变得更加困难，但我们每个周末都会全力以赴，当然，只要机会出现，我们就会全力去争。”
因此问题来了：红牛是否已经在上周末的巴库错过了2026年最后一个现实的夺冠机会？在那场比赛中，维斯塔潘从第八位发车，展现了极佳的比赛节奏，最终以0.196秒之差位居拉塞尔之后冲线。
这在很大程度上要归功于红牛赛车在巴库那条长直道上的速度表现，而马来西亚也有两条类似的直道，所以本周末他们仍有可能重返竞争行列。但雪邦依然存在一些未知因素，如果梅赛德斯的升级确实兑现了承诺，那么红牛可能又会回到起点。
这个周末可能是一次真正的试金石，检验巴库的速度对红牛来说到底是不是昙花一现。
2027年车手市场的消息本周格外繁忙：阿隆索在周二确认将继续留在F1，随后周三又宣布奥孔将在本赛季结束后离开哈斯。
这两项宣布都不算太令人意外，因为尽管几个月来阿隆索不断被追问自己的未来，这位45岁的车手一直拒绝表态，但据信那只是这位世界冠军施压F1、促使其修改规则的手段——而这套规则正是阿隆索一直公开批评的。
不过，可以预料这位西班牙人会被问及为什么决定留在2027年，尤其是考虑到他的阿斯顿·马丁赛车毫无竞争力，以及他还能坚持多久。但当奥孔还在为自己的前途而战、计划尚未确定时，这无疑是一种奢侈。
这位30岁的车手已经明确表示，他认为过去两年的挣扎源于哈斯赛车表现不稳定，尽管事实上他一直被年轻的队友奥利弗·比尔曼压制。“我是最出色的车手之一，我不怕这么说，”这位曾获得过一场大奖赛胜利的车手上周末如是说。
好吧，现在是时候让他证明了，因为他明年的席位正处于危险之中。本周末F1会看到奥孔重返巅峰状态吗？
诺里斯和科拉平托在巴库赛后会如何回应？

阿塞拜疆大奖赛之后，一个起初令人意外但随后在预料之中的话题，就是弗朗哥·科拉平托、皮埃尔·加斯利与兰多·诺里斯碰撞事故所引发的风波，这导致这位阿根廷车手在雪邦被处以发车位置退后五位的处罚，并遭遇了社交媒体上的谩骂风暴。
诺里斯已经为自己呼吁禁赛科拉平托、并暗示他不配留在一级方程式的言论道歉，他自己也因此成为科拉平托支持者的攻击目标，而阿尔派则在这位阿根廷车手为车队效力的一年半时间里，第四次呼吁停止社交媒体上的辱骂行为。
各方都希望从这起令所有人都颜面扫地的丑陋事件中走出来，但无法回避的是，每当科拉平托与其他车手哪怕发生一点小摩擦，网络上的怒火风暴就会被点燃，这是一级方程式始终存在的问题——而诺里斯在巴库大奖赛之后的公开指责更是让这一问题火上浇油。
在科拉平托毁掉了车队有望双双拿分的机会之后，阿尔派老板弗拉维奥·布里亚托利也暗示会对科拉平托进行队内处罚。鉴于布里亚托利过往的行事风格，这位23岁车手在雪邦周末要面对的，恐怕远不止是帮加斯利洗脏衣服这么简单。

Five things to look out for at the F1 Bahrain GP in Malaysia
Sepang makes its F1 return this weekend on behalf of Bahrain
Formula 1 heads to the middle point of its current triple header this weekend with the Bahrain Grand Prix in Malaysia serving as round 16 of the 2026 season.
It marks the first time that F1 will race in the country since 2017 as a result of the ongoing Middle Eastern conflict, which forced Bahrain to cancel its grand prix earlier in the year.
But that is not the only talking point, so here are five things to look out for at the Bahrain Grand Prix in Malaysia.
Sepang was once a staple of the F1 calendar as it featured every year from 1999 to 2017, before a lack of funding caused the end of the Malaysian Grand Prix. It was a particularly disappointing moment because Sepang has been host to several classic moments over the years, whether it be Red Bull’s infamous “Multi 21” moment in 2013, Lewis Hamilton’s title chances blowing up in smoke three years later, or Ferrari controversially having a 1-2 reinstated through the courts in 1999.
It is a real drivers’ track as well, featuring a series of medium-to-high speed corners in between the two long straights that are Sepang’s defining characteristics. “The track is awesome,” said Hamilton in Baku last week. “It’s a track that does give good racing and when it comes to deciding what tracks to go through in the year, that should be a part of the decision-making.”
But the racing this year should look quite different due to the 2026 regulations and in a similar manner to Baku, drivers must be clever with where they deploy their battery power as those two straights could easily swallow up all the energy.
There is also the very unpredictable Kuala Lumpur weather to consider, which saw heavy thunderstorms on Wednesday but Sunday is forecast to be dry.
Is Russell actually rejuvenated?
“If the season had started today, or since the summer break, I feel very much I would have been able to fight.”
Those were the words of George Russell after winning the Azerbaijan Grand Prix from pole - his third of the season - while it was a much messier weekend for Mercedes team-mate Kimi Antonelli, who recovered to fifth after starting 16th due to his crash in Q1.
It means Antonelli’s championship lead has reduced from 81 points to 66 over second-placed Russell, but with just seven more rounds currently scheduled, the Briton is well aware that his title hopes are effectively over.
“I’ve got this big deficit,” he added. “It can change quickly. So, I’m not chasing that. I’m chasing to win every race and what will be, will be.”
But does his summer break claim stack up? Not particularly when his points deficit has actually increased by seven since then, yet there can be no denying that his performances have certainly improved.
All he can do is carry that momentum into this weekend, though Antonelli will have a big say in it because until Baku, the 20-year-old had been faultless in 2026. “I was always a step behind. Next weekend, I will be back at my level,” the championship leader vowed in Azerbaijan.
Considering his form this year, one can only expect that to be the case. Especially as Mercedes should also bring its long-awaited large upgrades package.
How will Red Bull fare?

Mercedes’ raft of upgrades for Malaysia probably comes at a bad time for Red Bull, which only recently managed to pull itself back into the fight at the front. The Austrian outfit has finished on the podium in five of the last six grands prix, including a double podium last weekend thanks to updates for its RB22 - a car that is winless this year.
But just as it had closed the gap, that deficit might once again increase if the Silver Arrows nails its updates. "If they’re bringing an upgrade to Malaysia, then it’s going to look a little bit more difficult for us," said Max Verstappen.
"If Mercedes is bringing an upgrade and it works, then they’ll take another step ahead, and that’s not what you want. It will make it even more difficult to win, but we’ll try every single weekend and, of course, if the opportunity is there, we go for it."
So it begs the question whether Red Bull blew its final realistic opportunity of winning in 2026 at Baku last weekend, where Verstappen crossed the line 0.196s behind Russell after showing sublime race pace from eighth on the grid.
A lot of that was down to the pace the Red Bull teams showed on that long Baku straight and with two similar ones in Malaysia, it could be in the fight again this weekend. But Sepang is still a bit of an unknown and if those Mercedes updates do deliver as promised, then Red Bull may be back to where it started.
This weekend could be a real litmus test for whether the Baku pace was a one-off for Red Bull or not.
Driver market news for 2027 has been particularly busy this week with Fernando Alonso confirming he’ll remain in F1 on Tuesday, before Wednesday’s announcement that Esteban Ocon will depart Haas at the end of the current season.
Neither announcement was that surprising, because although for months Alonso had been quizzed about his future with the 45-year-old refusing to commit, it is believed those were just games from the world champion to increase the pressure on F1 to make tweaks to its regulations. A rule set that Alonso has been a vocal critic of.
Nevertheless, expect quotes from the Spaniard on why he is staying put for 2027, especially considering his uncompetitive Aston Martin car, and just how long he can keep going for. But that is a great luxury to have when Ocon is fighting for his future with his plans yet to be confirmed.
The 30-year-old has made it clear that he thinks his struggles for the past two years have stemmed from an inconsistent Haas car, despite the fact that he has been consistently outperformed by young team-mate Oliver Bearman. “I’m one of the best and I’m not afraid to say it,” the one-time grand prix winner claimed last weekend.
Well, it’s time for him to prove it because his position on next year’s grid is at risk. Will F1 see Ocon return to his former self this weekend?
How will Norris and Colapinto react post-Baku?

One of the surprising but subsequently predictable talking points post-Azerbaijan was the fallout from the Franco Colapinto-Pierre Gasly-Lando Norris clash, which resulted in the Argentine taking a five-place grid penalty to Sepang and a social media storm of abuse.
Norris has apologised for calling for Colapinto to be banned and inferring he shouldn’t be in F1, having become the target of Colapinto’s supporters, while Alpine issued its fourth call to stop social media abuse in the one-and-a-half years the Argentine has driven for the team.
All parties will hope to move on from the ugly incident, which painted nobody in a good light, but there is no escaping the ongoing problem F1 has with the online rage storm that whips up any time Colapinto has even a minor disagreement with another driver – an issue that was only fuelled during the post-Baku call-out by Norris.
Alpine boss Flavio Briatore also hinted at internal team punishment for Colapinto after wiping out its chance of a strong double points finish. Given Briatore’s track record, it’ll be more than making the 23-year-old wash Gasly’s dirty laundry for the Sepang weekend.
