维斯塔潘调侃巴西雨战：我已装好杀毒软件
维斯塔潘被问及是否担心巴西雨战重演马来西亚站动力单元软件故障时，以“我现在已经装好杀毒软件了”的玩笑回应。
维斯塔潘调侃巴西雨战威胁：“我现在已经装好杀毒软件了！”
F1车手在巴西可能再次遭遇降雨，不过当被问及是否担心马来西亚站动力单元软件故障重演时，维斯塔潘以玩笑回应。
2026款F1赛车的首场雨战并未取得圆满成功。在雪邦国际赛道安全车带领下的编队圈中，近半数赛车停了下来。
问题最终被认定为与软件故障有关，该故障与国际汽联为雨战设定的250千瓦限制相关。这一软件故障导致电机在赛道最慢路段进入锁定模式。由于没有电力来弥补涡轮迟滞，车手踩下油门踏板时毫无反应。
在马来西亚，针对问题最严重的迷你赛段，限制被解除，国际汽联在大约20分钟后向各车队和制造商发送了新软件。随后，他们得以在动力单元中安装更新版本，最终让比赛得以开始。
同样的紧急措施随后在新加坡实施，之后在奥斯汀进行了修改版软件的测试。在美洲赛道，国际汽联发表了以下声明：
“作为对低抓地力模式动力单元软件持续改进的一部分，国际汽联将与各车队和动力单元制造商一起，在第一节自由练习结束后进行模拟，赛车将处于低抓地力模式，在回场圈使用特定的车手输入来测试额外的软件保护措施。这意味着赛车将在本节练习结束时在15号弯以低速行驶一小段距离。”
国际汽联单座赛车总监尼古拉斯·通巴西斯此前已在马来西亚解释，该漏洞只是在比赛中才暴露出来，因为国际汽联此前无法在湿地条件下对2026款赛车进行足够的测试。在回答Motorsport.com的提问时，他确认可以保证这一特定漏洞不会再次发生，不过他补充说，他无法排除所有漏洞。
鉴于圣保罗的天气预报，本周末F1车手有可能再次遇到降雨。在国际汽联新闻发布会上被问及车手们是否有信心雪邦的混乱不会重演时，马克斯·维斯塔潘开玩笑说：“我给赛车装了杀毒软件，所以我没事！”
当小红牛车手阿维德·林德布拉德随后表示希望问题已经解决时，维斯塔潘再次拿起麦克风笑道：“伙计，你用的也是同一套软件，所以别担心！”
维斯塔潘对英特拉格斯在干地和湿地条件下都留有美好回忆。这位红牛车手曾三次在此夺冠，并同样三次上演令人难忘的逆转驾驶。
去年，这位荷兰车手从维修区起步一路登上领奖台；2024年他从第17位发车夺冠——当时对兰多·诺里斯的争冠希望造成了决定性打击；2016年他奉献了一场精彩表演，包括在雨中从外道超越最终的世界冠军尼科·罗斯伯格。
“这是一条很棒的赛道，很适合比赛，”维斯塔潘说。“而且没错，它有时候上演过一些疯狂的正赛，对我来说也是如此。无论是从前面起步赢下比赛，还是像雨战之类的情况从后面追上来获胜。看起来这次又有可能下雨，所以那很令人兴奋。”
不过，维斯塔潘不愿对今年的比赛做出任何预测。尽管这位红牛车手赢下了最近四场大奖赛中的三场，他总结说，四支领先车队实力非常接近，而法拉利在奥斯汀拥有最快的赛车配置。
“这个周末很难说什么，因为我认为前面的差距太小了，有时候就取决于把赛车调校或能量部署做到位，诸如此类的事情。
“过去几年，我认为巴西一直是冲刺赛周末。所以现在我想我们多了一点时间来调校赛车，这可能是好事也可能是坏事。我不知道，但我们拭目以待吧。”

Max Verstappen jokes about rain threat in Brazil: "I've installed antivirus now!"
F1 drivers could once again face rain in Brazil, although Verstappen responds with a joke when asked whether he fears a repeat of the power unit software bug seen in Malaysia
The first wet race with Formula 1’s 2026 cars did not exactly prove to be a resounding success. During the formation laps behind the safety car at the Sepang International Circuit, almost half the field came to a halt.
The issue turned out to be a software bug linked to the 250kW restrictions imposed by the FIA for wet-weather races. That software bug caused the electric motors to go into lock-down mode in the slowest parts of the circuit. With no electric power available to offset the turbo lag, nothing happened when the drivers pressed the throttle pedal.
In Malaysia, the restrictions were lifted for the most problematic minisectors, with the FIA sending new software to the teams and manufacturers after approximately 20 minutes. They were then able to install the updated version in their power units to finally get the race under way.
The same emergency measure was subsequently applied in Singapore, before a test with modified software followed in Austin. At the Circuit of the Americas, the FIA issued the following statement:
"As part of the ongoing refinements to the Power Unit software for low grip mode, the FIA together with the teams and Power Unit manufacturers will run a simulation at the end of FP1, with cars running on low grip mode, using specific driver inputs during the in-lap to test additional software protections. This will mean that cars will be running for a short distance at low speed at Turn 15 at the end of the session."
FIA single-seater director Nikolas Tombazis had already explained in Malaysia that the bug had only come to light during the race because the FIA had not been able to carry out sufficient testing with the 2026 cars in wet conditions beforehand. In response to a question from Motorsport.com, he confirmed that he could guarantee this specific bug would not occur again, although he added that he could not rule out all bugs.
Given the weather forecast for Sao Paulo, there is a possibility that F1 drivers will once again encounter rain this weekend. Asked during the FIA press conference whether the drivers are confident that the Sepang debacle will not be repeated, Max Verstappen joked: "I have installed antivirus in my car, so I'll be fine!"
When Racing Bulls driver Arvid Lindblad then said that he hoped the issue had been resolved, Verstappen picked up the microphone once more and laughed: "You'll be on the same software, mate, so don't worry!"
Verstappen has fond memories of Interlagos in both dry and wet conditions. The Red Bull driver has won there three times and has produced memorable comeback drives on just as many occasions.
Last year, the Dutchman drove from the pitlane to the podium, while in 2024 he managed to win from 17th on the grid – which at the time dealt a decisive blow to Lando Norris's title hopes – and in 2016 he put on a spectacular show, including overtaking eventual world champion Nico Rosberg around the outside in the rain.
"It's a fantastic track and good for racing", Verstappen said. "And yeah, it has had some crazy races at times, also for me. Winning from starting up front or winning after coming from the back with rain races and stuff like that. It's looking like there’s a chance of rain again, so that’s exciting."
However, Verstappen is reluctant to make any predictions for this year's edition. Although the Red Bull driver has won three of the last four Grands Prix, he concluded that the four leading teams are very closely matched and that Ferrari had the fastest package in Austin.
"It's difficult to say anything for this weekend, because I think the gaps are so tight up front that sometimes it just comes down to nailing the setup or the deployment, all these kind of things.
"The last few years, I think Brazil has always been a sprint event. So now I guess we have a little bit more time to set up the car, which might be good or might be bad. I don't know, but we'll just see how it goes."
