F1阿塞拜疆大奖赛街头混战中的赢家与输家
原本看似一场在巴库街道上相对乏味的巡游，最终却演变成了一场充满混乱的街头混战。以下是我们对这场精彩纷呈的F1阿塞拜疆大奖赛的赢家与输家盘点
弗兰科·科拉平托，阿尔派，兰多·诺里斯，迈凯伦
这已经不是巴库第一次上演典型的一场比赛两个阶段的戏码了。一道索然无味的主菜，配上比赛中段两次安全车触发的一份放纵的甜点。随着一脚轻轻踩下刹车踏板，第36圈的重启混战让输家名单上的候选人数量翻倍，而赢家名单上则涌现出不少意想不到的英雄。
由于两次安全车重启，比赛的激烈程度远超预期，但这个周末属于拉塞尔。他从始至终表现出统治力，从杆位发车一路领先夺冠，还外加一个大满贯（杆位起步、领跑全场、最快圈速并夺冠）。
对安东内利来说，这是一个混乱的周末，部分原因是他自己造成的，部分原因是缺乏赛道时间让这位意大利车手陷入被动，而拉塞尔则重新找回了本赛季的最佳状态。
是为时已晚，还是恰逢其时迎来意料之外的赛季末逆袭？这可能更多取决于安东内利而非拉塞尔，因为两人差距仍有66分之多。但无论拉塞尔此前需要解决什么问题才能与2026年赛车磨合到位，如今一切正开始顺畅起来。
“我认为这只是因为我对这种新采用的驾驶风格有了更多经验。休赛期之后的每一场比赛，我都感觉自己越来越强，也越来越像原来的自己。这段时间对我来说非常艰难，但我感觉自己已经走了出来。”
比撞上自己队友更糟糕的事情，就是连带着把无辜的旁观者也一起撞了出去。周六晚上，阿尔派车队内部气氛相当不愉快，因为车队为了在争夺第五名的战斗中收复失地所做的所有努力，随着加斯利撞车瞬间烟消云散，全部毁于一旦。
弗兰科·科拉平托在巴库犯下的这次失误，甚至促使他的另一位受害者、世界冠军兰多·诺里斯呼吁对他实施禁赛。这本可以被归结为一时冲动的言论，如果不是这位迈凯伦车手在混采区来回走动时反复多次提及此事的话。
这或许是诺里斯在经历了一个令人沮丧的下午之后的一点小小过激反应？也许吧。但你总会隐约感觉到，科拉平托的大老板弗拉维奥·布里亚托利对此也并不太满意……
"我知道弗兰科已经承担了全部责任，这是他应该做的；事实上，考虑到比赛当时的情形和安全车重启的情况，他刹车实在太晚了。以他这样经验的车手来说，这是一个非常糟糕的操作。"
弗拉维奥。他从来不喜欢拐弯抹角地说话，却常常喜欢“折腾”自己的车手。
迈凯伦车队领队、同为意大利人的安德烈亚·斯特拉说得好：“我猜这事车监会审查，我也相信弗拉维奥也会‘审查’一下。我不确定哪边会更严厉……”
考虑到科拉平托本赛季的表现足够出色，已经赢得了一份到2027年的续约，巴库的那次事故很可能会被原谅。但了解 布里亚托利的人都知道，这事不会被遗忘。
赢家：塞尔吉奥·佩雷斯 / 输家：瓦尔特利·博塔斯
是塞尔吉奥·佩雷斯表现得实在太出色，还是瓦尔特利·博塔斯就是状态低迷？两位凯迪拉克车手之间原本无法解释的巨大性能差距表明，两种因素都占了相当大的成分。
佩雷斯从巴库一开场就令人目眩神迷，重新找回了他“街道赛之王”的旧日名声，把他的凯迪拉克带到了这辆车本不配达到的位置。由于博塔斯毫无速度可言，佩雷斯在第一段（stint）中与两辆奥迪为伴，很快就拉开了与队友之间一个进站（pitstop）的差距，到博塔斯在第28圈驶入维修区时，这个差距已经扩大到52秒。
能够保持在加布里埃尔·博托莱托、随后是卡洛斯·塞恩斯的尾流之中——也就处于超车模式（Overtake Mode）的生效窗口内——一度帮了佩雷斯一把，但这解释不了两人之间如此悬殊的性能鸿沟。
“这是我在巴库最好的周末之一，我从那辆车上榨出了150%的性能，”佩雷斯说。“我们一直在和比我们快一到两秒的赛车缠斗，多亏了超车模式，所以我们在第一段（stint）里始终能咬住他们。”与此同时，博塔斯表示，由于整场只能与阿斯顿·马丁的费尔南多·阿隆索缠斗，他必须去找寻答案。希望他能找到一些。
伊萨克·哈贾尔在伤愈复出后迎来了自己代表红牛以来大概最出色的一场比赛表现，其精彩程度完全不亚于他去年在赞德沃特夺得的首个大奖赛领奖台。
哈贾尔带着左手腕骨裂的伤势出战，排位赛获得第四，正赛拿下第三，并且在更有优势的软胎上与队友马克斯·维斯塔潘不相上下。以至于这位法国车手在第一次安全车出动前，正准备向队友发起进攻。
哈贾尔因拳击受伤被迫缺席三周，这对他状态的持续提升来说非常不利，但这位好斗的21岁车手用表现证明自己并不脆弱。
诺里斯完全有理由对科拉平托感到不满，考虑到他的收件箱很可能被辱骂信息淹没，他最好再度远离社交媒体。但事实是，他本来就不该让自己处于会被中游车手撞出比赛的位置。按照他2026年的高标准来看，诺里斯这个周末过得相当糟糕，迈凯伦在低速性能和空气动力学效率上的短板在巴库赛段被暴露得尤为明显。
尽管如此，奥斯卡·皮亚斯特里仍然排位第三，本来很有希望登上领奖台，直到他和诺里斯一样在一号弯刹车过度冲出弯道——正是这次失误让诺里斯在安全车出动前掉到了中游。
那么，诺里斯到底出了什么问题？领队斯特拉解释说，这位英国车手一直在应对一个间歇性的燃油喷射问题，这使诺里斯在排位赛和正赛中都损失了直线速度，同时车队也没能解决能量部署的难题。但诺里斯也主动承认了自己的问题。他说：“以我当时拥有的速度，我在赛道上毫无机会，但我确信自己在驾驶方面也有一些做得不够好的地方。我需要看看下次能改进什么。”
塞尔吉奥·佩雷斯和埃斯特班·奥孔在巴库度过了一个积极的周末。佛朗哥·科拉平托则不然。
现在出现了一个今年在这里很少被提到的名字，而巴库正是他苦苦争取来的将功补过的机会。
一段时间以来，奥孔在哈斯的位置已经是一个公开的秘密。在巴库大奖赛周末之前，有消息传出他的另一只脚也已迈出门槛——这位法国车手宣布自己是一名“自由球员”。在众多候选人当中，据报道法拉利青训车手拉斐尔·卡马拉最近在波尔蒂芒的一次测试中给车队留下了深刻印象。
当你知道自己留在F1的时间已所剩无几，而车队已经为2027年物色到了更心仪的人选时，继续比赛是一种什么体验？我们永远不会知道。但对奥孔来说，这肯定不好受——他要在一辆表现不稳定、只偶尔能让你展现自身价值的车里，为自己的职业生涯而战。
但在巴库，奥孔的VF-26表现得毫无异常。在机会主义地从队友奥利·比尔曼手中抢下第八名之后，他还在媒体面前强硬地为自己辩护。
“我可以说，那个成绩是我应得的，但其他那些破事不是。我和场上所有人都交过手，我一直都不落下风。我参加过的一系列锦标赛我都赢过。我赢过F3（三级方程式），赢过GP3，也赢过F1（一级方程式）。我能做到，你明白吗？我是场上最出色的车手之一，而且我不怕这么说。”
阿斯顿·马丁在匈牙利带来大幅升级后所抱有的任何希望，如今似乎都已化为泡影。本田随后的动力单元升级或许改善了某些方面，但仍与竞争对手相距甚远。
甚至可以说，这辆车的可靠性和 可驾驶性似乎不但没有进步，反而倒退了：兰斯·斯特罗尔已经连续四场大奖赛退赛，费尔南多·阿隆索也不断被各种问题困扰。
但最明显的差距仍然在性能方面：在巴库那条长直道上，阿隆索和斯特罗尔相比梅赛德斯动辄损失高达30公里/小时的尾速。
本田的困境引发了进一步的讨论，即它是否应该从规则中获得更多帮助，因为国际汽联的 追赶机制即将进行新的调整。但鉴于本田今年早些时候已经获得了额外的研发余量，它必须最迟在2027年就展现出一次重大的飞跃。

Winners and losers from F1's Azerbaijan Grand Prix street brawl
What looked like a relatively boring parade down the streets of Baku turned into a chaos-filled street brawl. Here are our winners and losers from F1's eventful Azerbaijan GP
Franco Colapinto, Alpine, Lando Norris, McLaren
Not for the first time, Baku was the epitome of a race of two halves. A flavourless main course washed down with an indulgent dessert, triggered by a mid-race pair of safety cars. With one dab of the brake pedal, the lap 36 restart melee doubled the number of candidates for the loser category, while the list of winners boasts a number of unlikely heroes.
Things got a lot spicier than planned courtesy of the brace of safety car restarts, but this was George Russell's weekend. Imperious from start to finish with a pole-to-flag victory and a grand slam to boot.
On a messy weekend for Kimi Antonelli, partly due to his own making and partly because a lack of track time left the Italian on the back foot, Russell reconnected with his best form this season.
Too little too late, or just in time for an unexpected late-season comeback? That will likely depend more on Antonelli than on Russell, with the gap still a sizeable 66 points. But whatever Russell needed to address to hit his stride with the 2026 cars, it is starting to click.
"I think it’s just having more experience with this sort of new driving style I’ve adopted. And every race since the break, I feel like I’ve gone from strength to strength and I feel like more myself again. It’s been a really tough period for me, but I feel like I’ve come through the other side."
The only thing worse than crashing into your team-mate is taking out innocent bystanders with him. Alpine was not a happy camp to be in on Saturday night after all the hard work the team did to reclaim ground in the battle for fifth disappeared with one fell swoop into Pierre Gasly's sidepod.
Franco Colapinto's Baku blunder even prompted calls from his other victim, world champion Lando Norris, for a race ban. That could be classified as a heat of the moment comment, if it hadn't been for the fact the McLaren driver repeated it a number of times as he roamed the mixed zone.
A slight overreaction after a frustrating afternoon for Norris? Perhaps. But you somehow get the impression Colapinto's big boss Flavio Briatore wasn't all that impressed either...
"I know that Franco has taken full responsibility for it, as he should; in fact he braked far too late considering the context of the race and the safety car restart. It was a very poor move for a driver of his experience."
Flav. Never one to mince his words, often one to mince his drivers.
McLaren team boss and fellow Italian Andrea Stella said it best. "I guess this is being reviewed by the stewards and I'm sure it will be reviewed by Flavio as well. I'm not sure which one is going to be harsher..."
With Colapinto having impressed enough this season to earn a 2027 extension, the Baku incident will likely be forgiven. But knowing Briatore, it will not be forgotten.
Winner: Sergio Perez / Loser Valtteri Bottas
Was Sergio Perez simply outstanding or Valtteri Bottas just lacklustre? The otherwise unexplained chasm in performance between the two Cadillac drivers suggests it's a healthy serving of both.
Perez was mesmerising from the outset in Baku, reconnecting with his old reputation for being a street circuit monster, and putting his Cadillac up where it didn't deserve to be. As Bottas was bereft of pace, Perez entertained the company of the Audis during the first stint, soon pulling out a pitstop gap on his team-mate which ballooned to 52 seconds by the time Bottas peeled into the pits on lap 28.
Being able to stay in Gabriel Bortoleto's and then Carlos Sainz's slipstream - and thus Overtake Mode window - helped Perez for a while, but doesn't explain the huge gulf in performance.
"It's been one of my best weekends in Baku, I managed to get 150% out of that car," Perez said. "We were fighting cars that are a second or two seconds faster than us, due to the overtake mode so we stayed with them throughout the first stint." Meanwhile, Bottas said he would have to look for answers after only being able to fight Aston Martin's Fernando Alonso. One hopes he finds a couple.
Isack Hadjar celebrated his return from his injury layoff with what is likely his strongest performance for Red bull to date, and every bit as impressive as his maiden grand prix podium in Zandvoort last year.
Nursing a fractured left wrist, Hadjar qualified fourth and finished third and proved a match for team-mate Max Verstappen on the favoured soft tyres. So much so that the Frenchman was poised to try and attack his team-mate right before the first safety car came out.
Hadjar's enforced three-week absence following his boxing injury was most unwelcome for his continuing development, but the pugnacious 21-year-old showed he doesn't have a glass jaw.
Norris has every right to be upset with Colapinto, and he would be wise to take another social media sabbatical with his inbox likely flooded with abuse. But the truth is he should never have been in a position to be taken out by midfielders to begin with. Norris has had a particularly poor weekend by his high 2026 standards as McLaren's lack of low-speed performance and aero efficiency hit particularly hard in Baku.
But despite all that, Oscar Piastri still qualified third and looked good value for a podium until he joined Norris in outbraking himself into Turn 1, the transgression that dumped Norris into the midfield before the safety car.
So, what was going on with Norris? Team principal Stella explained the Briton had been dealing with an intermittent fuel injection problem that cost Norris straightline performance both in qualifying and the race, while the team didn't nail its energy deployment puzzle. But Norris also held his hand up. "I had no chance out there with the speed I had, but I'm sure there were some things I wasn't doing well enough in driving," he said. "I need to see what I can improve for next time."
Sergio Perez and Esteban Ocon enjoyed a positive Baku weekend. Franco Colapinto, not so much.
Now there's a name that hasn't featured here very often this year, and Baku was a hard-earned opportunity to make amends.
It has been an open secret for a while that Ocon has had one foot out the door at Haas. Ahead of the Baku weekend, it emerged his other foot had joined suit as the Frenchman declared himself a "free agent". Among a pool of candidates, Ferrari junior Rafael Camara is understood to have dazzled the team during a recent test outing at Portimao.
What is it like trying to perform in F1 knowing you're on borrowed time and your team has found more desirable options for 2027? We will never know. But it can't have been easy for Ocon to deal with, trying to fight for your career aboard in an inconsistent car that only occasionally allows you to show your worth.
But In Baku, Ocon's VF-26 performed without any anomalies. And after he opportunistically snatched eighth away from team-mate Ollie Bearman, he defiantly fought his corner in the press, too.
"I can say I deserve that, not all the rest of the shit. I've raced with everyone out there and I've always been on par. I've won in every championship that I've raced in. I won Formula 3. I won GP3. I won in Formula 1. I can do it, you know? I'm one of the best out there, and I'm not afraid to say it."
Any hopes Aston Martin harboured after its sizeable Hungary upgrade now seem to have vanished. Honda's subsequent power unit upgrade may have improved some areas, but it is still miles away from the competition.
If anything, the car's reliability and driveability appears to have taken a step back rather forward, with Lance Stroll retiring from his fourth straight grand prix and Fernando Alonso continuously plagued by problems, too.
But the most striking deficit remains on the performance front, as Alonso and Stroll routinely shipped up to 30km/h on Baku's long straight compared to Mercedes.
Honda's plight has triggered further debate over whether it deserves more assistance from the regulations as the FIA's ADUO catch-up mechanism is set for fresh tweaks. But with Honda already afforded extra development headroom earlier this year, it must demonstrate a major step forward as early as 2027.
