维斯塔潘对F1摩纳哥站冲刺赛反应冷淡：“毫无情感可言”
2027年F1赛历将冲刺赛增至10场，摩纳哥大奖赛被列入冲刺赛举办地引发围场意外。维斯塔潘对此反应冷淡，表示对冲刺赛毫无情感，只专注于大奖赛。
马克斯·维斯塔潘对F1摩纳哥大奖赛冲刺赛的直率反应：“毫无情感可言”
2027年计划在摩纳哥举办冲刺赛，引发了F1车手们的不同反应，但马克斯·维斯塔潘表示他不在乎冲刺赛在哪里举行。他尽职尽责地参加，却没有任何情感。
2027年公布的F1赛历在大奖赛顺序上看起来合乎逻辑，但部分冲刺赛举办地的选择令人意外。
F1不仅决定将冲刺赛数量增加到10场——这在商业上不可避免——所选地点也颇为耐人寻味。例如，巴林揭幕战和阿布扎比收官战都被指定为冲刺赛周末。
这本身就有些引人注目，而选择摩纳哥作为冲刺赛举办地更是在围场中引发了更大的意外。
塞尔吉奥·佩雷斯在巴库媒体日表示，他没想到会这样，只是通过其他车手的直言反应才得知这一消息。
“其实我是通过我们的[WhatsApp]群聊知道的。里面有一些评论，”这位凯迪拉克车手笑着说。
“群里有点热闹！除了群里发生的事，我没太注意。而且如你所想，那些内容就留在群里了。”
佩雷斯透露，摩纳哥冲刺赛是F1车手WhatsApp群里的热门讨论话题。
在公开表态中，车手们对摩纳哥冲刺赛的反应各不相同。是的，这场短程比赛将是一场巡游，但这一选择确实让蒙特卡洛街道两次迎来排位赛的刺激。
尽管这听起来很吸引人，但它对车手如何构建比赛周末有重大影响。在赛道边行走时，很容易看到车手通常在一练中留有余地，并在三练中于Tabac和Piscine等弯角越来越接近护栏。
随着冲刺赛制，这种逐步推向周六下午终极高潮的过程消失了，同时车手在冲刺排位赛中愿意承担多少风险也非常值得怀疑。例如，如果你必须从SQ1中杀出重围，排在第12或第13位，回报是什么？由于超车几乎不可能，第13位发车通常不会带来积分，这使得对大多数车手来说，周五不撞车更为重要。
“也许你会少冒一点风险，”小红牛车手阿维德·林德布拉德承认。“如果你排在第15位，也许你不会那么努力，但顶级车队总是必须全力推进。”
“我认为这只会意味着你无法像希望的那样为排位赛做好铺垫。你只是必须在周末更早地离开舒适区。”
马克斯·维斯塔潘不屑于这样的分析。他的反应简短而明确：这位四届世界冠军不喜欢冲刺赛周末，而且永远不会喜欢，无论它们在哪里举行。
维斯塔潘表示，无论场地如何，他对冲刺赛毫无情感。
“是的，更多冲刺赛……我个人不喜欢，但我当然理解背后的理由，”维斯塔潘在巴库说。
“它让整个周末有更多动作，所以，是的，我们会参加……但对我来说，我始终想着大奖赛，那才是我主要的关注点。”
最重要的是，维斯塔潘认为冲刺赛会提前剧透车迷将在周日看到的内容，而在摩纳哥这一点更加可预测：两场比赛都没有太多超车。
“关于摩纳哥的冲刺赛，是的，情况和正赛一样，对吧？”维斯塔潘说。“比如，你对起步感到兴奋，然后你无法超车。这很直接。”
当被问及维斯塔潘是否对选择摩纳哥感到意外时，这位荷兰人强调他不在乎冲刺赛的地点，他只是因为这是工作的一部分而参加。
“我不知道。对我来说，老实说我不在乎冲刺赛在哪里，”他说。“我只是参加，当然你会尽力做到最好。但我对赢得冲刺赛或没赢都没有情感。”
“从我小时候起，你期待的是大奖赛。那通常是在周日，有时是周六，”他指的是今年巴库比赛在周六举行。
自2023年以来，F1没有选择巴库举办冲刺赛。
与此同时，林德布拉德补充说，巴库城市赛道非常适合举办冲刺赛。这是一条排位赛充满娱乐性的街道赛道，也是一个可以超车的地方。
“这应该是一场冲刺赛，这会是一场精彩的冲刺赛，”这位小红牛车手说。“最终，这是一条我们可以超车的赛道，而冲刺赛的全部意义就是全力冲刺和超车。我认为这应该办一场。”
巴库在2026年和2027年都不是冲刺赛周末。

Max Verstappen's blunt reaction to F1's Monaco GP sprint race: "No emotion attached to it"
The planned sprint race in Monaco for 2027 has prompted mixed reactions from F1 drivers, but Max Verstappen says he does not care where the sprints are held. He dutifully takes part in them, without feeling any emotion
The Formula 1 calendar presented for 2027 looks logical when it comes to the sequence of grands prix, but some of the choices for the sprint races have caused surprise.
F1 has not only decided to increase the number to 10 – which was commercially inevitable – but the chosen locations are interesting as well. The opening weekend in Bahrain and the season finale in Abu Dhabi, for example, have both been designated as sprint weekends.
That is somewhat remarkable in itself, although the choice of Monaco as a sprint venue caused even more surprise in the paddock.
Sergio Perez said during media day in Baku that he did not see that one coming and only learned the news through the outspoken reactions of other drivers.
"I found out through our [WhatsApp] group, actually. There were some comments there," the Cadillac driver smiled.
"It was a bit busy in the group! I didn’t pay much attention, other than what happened in the group. And that stays in the group, as you can imagine."
Perez revealed that the Monaco sprint was a hot topic of discussion in the F1 drivers’ WhatsApp group
On the record, drivers have responded differently to the sprint race in Monaco. Yes, the short race will be a procession, but this choice does bring the excitement of qualifying to the streets of Monte Carlo twice.
Although that sounds appealing, it has significant consequences for how drivers build up their race weekend. When walking trackside, it is easy to see how drivers normally leave some margin during FP1 and get increasingly closer to the barriers in corners such as Tabac and Piscine during final practice.
That build-up towards an ultimate climax on Saturday afternoon disappears with the sprint format, while it is also very much open to question how much risk drivers want to take in sprint qualifying. For example, If you have to fight your way out of SQ1 for 12th or 13th on the grid, what is the reward? With overtaking virtually impossible, that 13th starting position will normally not lead to points, making it more important for most drivers not to crash on Friday.
"Maybe you take a bit less risk," Racing Bulls driver Arvid Lindblad admitted. "If you're P15, maybe you don't try as hard, but the top teams, they'd always have to push.
"I think it would just mean that you can't build as nicely as you'd want towards qualifying. You just have to get outside your comfort zone a bit earlier in the weekend."
Max Verstappen does not bother with such analyses. His reaction is short but clear: the four-time world champion is not a fan of sprint weekends and never will be, regardless of where they are held.
Verstappen says he feels no emotion whatsoever about sprint races, regardless of the venue
"Yeah, more sprint races… Personally, I’m not a fan of it, but I understand the reasoning behind it, of course," Verstappen said in Baku.
"It brings more action throughout the weekend, so yeah, we'll participate... But, for me, I always think about the grand prix and that's where my main focus is."
Above all, Verstappen considers a sprint race a spoiler for what fans will see on Sunday, something that is even more predictable in Monaco: two races without much overtaking.
"About the sprint in Monaco, yeah, it's the same scenario as what happens in the main race, right?" Verstappen said. "Like, you are excited for the start and then you can't pass. That's quite straightforward."
Asked whether Verstappen is surprised by the choice of Monaco, the Dutchman stresses that he does not care about the locations of the sprints and that he simply takes part because that is part of his job.
"I don't know. For me, I honestly don't care where the sprint races are," he said. "I just participate and of course you try to do the best you can. But I have no emotion attached to winning a sprint race or not winning it.
"From when I was a kid, you look forward to the grand prix. That's normally on a Sunday or sometimes on a Saturday," referring to the Baku race being held on Saturday this year.
F1 hasn't opted for Baku to host a sprint race since 2023
Lindblad, meanwhile, added that the Baku City Circuit would be perfect for a sprint race. It is a street circuit where qualifying is entertaining and a place where overtaking is possible.
"This should be a sprint, this would be an amazing sprint race”, the Racing Bulls driver said. "In the end, it's a track we can pass and the whole point of a sprint race is the idea of a flat-out race and passing. I think this should be one."
Baku is not a sprint weekend in either 2026 or 2027.
