安东内利：梅赛德斯“显然”不再是F1最强车队
F1冠军领跑者基米·安东内利在荷兰大奖赛获得亚军后表示，梅赛德斯“显然”不再拥有最快的赛车。迈凯伦的兰多·诺里斯凭借大幅升级的MCL40从杆位发车并连续获胜。
基米·安东内利：梅赛德斯“显然”已不再是F1的最佳车队
这支银箭车队在2026年F1赛季开局时占据统治地位，但在近几场大奖赛中受到了更多挑战

F1积分榜领跑者基米·安东内利认为，梅赛德斯“显然”已不再拥有最快的赛车——他在荷兰大奖赛上获得了亚军，仅次于兰多·诺里斯。
这位迈凯伦车手在赞德沃特驾驶经过大幅升级的MCL40从杆位起步实现连胜，使得梅赛德斯六站比赛中仅取得两胜，因为法拉利也拿下了两站。
这与银箭车队2026赛季开局的统治性表现形成鲜明对比——当时他们从杆位起步赢下了前六场大奖赛，直到研发竞赛格局逐渐形成。
“我们现在显然已经不是场上最快的车了，”安东内利表示，“我们大概是第二或第三，至少在今天这场比赛中是这样，而迈凯伦迈出了一大步，尤其是自匈牙利站他们带来大型升级包以来。
但我对车队充满信心。车队一直在为即将到来的下一个升级包全力以赴，他们只是想确保它装上之后能发挥出色。
“所以可以肯定的是，在这场比赛中会更加困难，会充满挑战，但我们已经准备好全力以赴，并把握住每一个机会。
“然后希望接下来轮到我们带来能让我们重新占据一点优势的升级包了。”

梅赛德斯此前已经预告将在赛季下半段带来一项“规模可观”的升级，但目前尚未确认升级将在何处首次启用，而车手和车队总冠军的争夺都正在接近高潮。
安东内利以59分的优势领先队友乔治·拉塞尔以及法拉利的刘易斯·汉密尔顿，而梅赛德斯在车队积分榜上则以87分的优势领先排名第二的意大利车队。
拉塞尔表示，尽管经历了“几个艰难的周末”——他在布达佩斯获得第七名，在赞德沃特获得第三名——接下来两周后将在蒙扎进行比赛。
“我认为我们在那里会稍微更有竞争力一些，”这位英国车手补充道，他的队友将因更换引擎而面临发车位处罚。
“不过，我相信法拉利即将迎来引擎升级，而事实是我们真的不知道。但我确实认为这些高轮胎损耗的赛道非常适合迈凯伦，尤其是兰多。”
“在那种条件下他一直都有点专家风范。我们去年也看到了这一点。蒙扎可能稍有不同，但我认为他们现在必须是被击败的头号目标车队。”

Mercedes "clearly" not F1's best team anymore - Kimi Antonelli
The Silver Arrows enjoyed a dominant start to the 2026 F1 campaign, but they have been challenged more in recent grands prix

Formula 1 championship leader Kimi Antonelli reckons Mercedes “clearly” no longer boasts the fastest car after finishing runner-up to Lando Norris at the Dutch Grand Prix.
The McLaren driver made it consecutive wins from pole at Zandvoort aboard a heavily upgraded MCL40, making it just two victories in six for Mercedes due to Ferrari also claiming a couple.
It marks a far cry from the dominant start the Silver Arrows enjoyed to 2026 by winning the opening six grands prix from pole, before the development race took shape.
“We’re clearly not the fastest car anymore on the grid,” claimed Antonelli. “We’re probably second or third, at least in today’s race, and McLaren has taken a huge step, especially since Hungary, since the big upgrade package they brought.
“But I’m confident with the team. The team has been working super hard on this next package that is coming up and they just want to make sure that it’s going to work out well once we put it on.
“So for sure, in this race, it’s going to be more difficult, it’s going to be challenging, but we’re ready to do our best and to maximise every opportunity.
“And then hopefully it’s going to be our turn to bring the package that’s going to give us a little bit of the upper hand again.”

Mercedes had already teased a ‘sizeable’ upgrade in this second half of the campaign with it yet to be confirmed where that will take place, as both the drivers’ and constructors’ title battles near their climax.
Antonelli leads team-mate George Russell and Ferrari’s Lewis Hamilton by 59 points, while Mercedes holds an 87-point advantage over the Italian outfit in second.
That’s despite “a challenging couple of weekends” according to Russell, who finished seventh in Budapest and third at Zandvoort ahead of Monza in two weeks’ time.
“I think we will be slightly more competitive there,” added the Briton, whose team-mate will carry a grid penalty for an engine swap.
“However, I believe Ferrari have an engine upgrade incoming and the truth is we just don't know. But I do believe that these high degradation circuits really suit McLaren very well and especially Lando.
“He's always been a bit of specialist in those conditions. We also saw it last year. Monza may be slightly different, but I think they have to be the team to beat right now.”
