诺里斯向麦凯轮发出严厉警告：“这是我开过最难的车”
尽管诺里斯本赛季早些时候取得了杆位和指挥性的胜利，但他承认他的麦凯轮在赛道上完全是个噩梦。
诺里斯向麦凯轮发出严厉警告：“这是我开过最难的车”
对于麦凯轮的粉丝来说，这是来自沃金克的帕帕亚新闻，包括关于车手、赛车、团队策略和每个周末的赛事的最新消息。
当一位一级方程式车手连续取得杆位和指挥性的胜利时，人们自然会认为他们的赛车调校得完美，驾驶起来就像在轨道上一样。但兰多·诺里斯完全打破了这一幻想，随着赛车准备参加美国大奖赛。
尽管他在夏季期间表现出色，一直位居计时表前列，诺里斯最近承认，他那台木瓜机械的原始速度实际上掩盖了一个严重缺陷且不可预测的车架。
在奥斯汀的媒体活动中，诺里斯揭露了驾驶这辆车有多么苛刻。虽然他在赞德福特等赛道上看起来能够轻松甩开对手，但驾驶舱内的现实却是完全不同的故事。
“所以你知道我们并不是一路所向披靡，一切都很轻松；这辆车可能是我所驾驶过的最难开的赛车之一，”诺里斯解释道。“但我把事情串联起来，我开得很好，我能够应对，但这辆车并不是能让你赢得冠军的赛车。”

极端狭窄的操作窗口意味着周六要确保赛道位置需要近乎超人的努力，在Q3阶段几乎没有任何犯错的空间。
"我的意思是那只是一辆更快的车，但我认为如果我们明年只有一辆和现在一样快的车，我们是不会赢得冠军的，" 当届冠军说，并指出要完成一圈需要极薄的差距。"这是一辆要完成一圈资格赛几乎是不可能的，而且要像我们这样快几乎也是不可能的。我的意思是，我三次获得杆位，我不知道是两百分之一秒还是什么，或者甚至没有获得杆位。
尽管诺里斯对在当前2026赛季结束前再赢得一场胜利保持乐观，但他对位于沃金克的工程部门就下赛季的发展路径发出了严峻的警告。如果车手不能在极限状态下信任汽车，那么风洞中的原始下压力数据将毫无意义。
"所以我仍然相信今年还有可能赢得一场胜利；我们只需要一辆现在更快的车，如果我们想要赢得胜利的话，" 他陈述道。"但到了明年，我们需要一辆更容易驾驶、更可操控的汽车，因为以目前汽车难以驾驶的程度，你是不可能赢得冠军的。"
与一辆臭名昭著的难以驾驭且不可预测的赛车搏斗，对于诺里斯来说，这周末在美洲赛车场的绝对不是他需要的，这条赛道已经对整个车阵造成了物理上的打击。
多位车手对奥斯汀赛道严重的坑洼和不平的沥青路面进行了严厉的批评。诺里斯最近在接受记者采访时透露，强烈的垂直负荷迫使他不得不服用头痛药来应对对头枕的冲击。当你将本质上难以驾驭、边缘锋利的底盘与震耳欲聋的赛道相结合时，迈凯轮在德克萨斯州面临着极其严苛的物理和技术挑战。

Norris issues brutal warning to McLaren: “One of the hardest cars I’ve ever had to drive”
Despite securing poles and commanding wins earlier this season, Lando Norris admits his McLaren was a total nightmare to handle on track
For McLaren fans. Papaya news from Woking, with the latest on the drivers, the car, team strategy and every race weekend.
When a Formula 1 driver strings together a streak of pole positions and commanding race victories, the natural assumption is that their car is perfectly dialled in and driving like it's on rails. But Lando Norris is completely shattering that illusion for McLaren fans as the grid prepares for the United States Grand Prix.
Despite an incredibly strong run over the summer that saw him consistently topping the timing sheets, Norris recently confessed that the raw speed of his papaya machinery actually masked a deeply flawed and unpredictable chassis.
During his media availability in Austin, Norris pulled back the curtain on just how demanding the car has been behind the wheel. While he looked comfortable pulling away from the pack at tracks such as Zandvoort, the reality inside the cockpit was a completely different story.
"So you know it wasn't like we were just winning everything and it was easy; the car was probably one of the hardest cars I've ever had to drive," Norris explained. "But I was putting things together, and I was driving well, and I could get away with it, but this isn't a car that you can win a championship with."

The extremely narrow operating window meant that securing track position required near-superhuman efforts on Saturdays, leaving absolutely no margin for error during Q3.
"I mean that's just a quicker car, but I think next year we're not going to win the championship if we just have a car that was as quick as it," the reigning champ said, noting the razor-thin margins required to put a lap together. "This was a car that to put a qualifying lap together was almost impossible, and to be as quick as we were was almost impossible. I mean, I was on pole three times by, I don't know what, two hundredths of a second or something, or not even on pole."
While Norris remains optimistic about stealing another victory before the current 2026 campaign concludes, he issued a stark warning to the engineering department back in Woking regarding their development path for next season. Raw downforce numbers in the wind tunnel will mean absolutely nothing if the drivers cannot trust the car at the limit.
"So I still believe a win is possible this year; we just need a car that is quicker now if we want to just have a win," he stated. "But into next year we need a car that's a lot more derivable, easier to drive, because you simply cannot win a championship with how difficult the car is to drive at the minute."
Wrestling a notoriously difficult and unpredictable car is the absolute last thing Norris needs this weekend at the Circuit of the Americas, a track that is already physically battering the entire grid.
Several drivers have heavily criticised the severe bumps and uneven asphalt in Austin. Norris recently revealed to reporters that the violent vertical loads have forced him to take headache tablets just to cope with the impacts against his headrest. When you combine an inherently tricky, knife-edge chassis with a bone-rattling circuit, McLaren is facing a highly punishing physical and technical challenge in Texas.
