F1阿塞拜疆大奖赛:拉塞尔 在第一节自由练习中居首,安东内利 遭遇梅赛德斯故障
积分榜领先者 安东内利 在 F1 阿塞拜疆大奖赛上损失了宝贵的赛道时间,而梅赛德斯队友 拉塞尔 在首节练习中排名第一。
在 F1 阿塞拜疆大奖赛的第一节自由练习中,梅赛德斯车手 拉塞尔 领先 维斯塔潘,而 安东内利 遇到了麻烦。
Russell 在为期一小时的练习赛还剩 20 分钟时做出的 1 分 45.387 秒圈速,足以轻松抵挡竞争,因为他的梅赛德斯队友早早退出了练习赛,而 维斯塔潘 和法拉利的 勒克莱尔 则占据了前三名的其余位置。
由于比赛特别安排在周六以配合国定假日,周四在巴库城市赛道的首次练习赛以悠闲的节奏开始,车手们采取了谨慎的态度。这条湿滑的街道赛道每年只使用一次,因此在比赛周末开始时被证明布满灰尘。
维斯塔潘用硬胎做出了1分46.635秒的首个标杆成绩,随后又跑出1分46.512秒的单圈,尽管他报告说他的小红牛22刹车有跑偏的问题。队友哈贾尔在因手腕骨折缺席三个周末后重返红牛驾驶舱时也遇到了类似问题——由于明显的动力单元故障,他损失了关键的时间。
15分钟后,积分榜领先者Antonelli Antonelli以1分46.265秒的单圈登上成绩榜首位,但这位意大利人随后在半程之前遇到了麻烦。Antonelli在7号弯停了下来,他的梅赛德斯W17冒着烟,他抱怨液压问题,并引发了虚拟安全车。
这位20岁车手的赛车被马歇尔迅速清理,无需出示红旗。这使得其余车手能够在练习赛后半段换上软胎。在1号弯锁死前轮并不得不冲进逃生路后,Verstappen的第二次尝试让这位荷兰人以1分34.787秒的单圈夺得头名,比拉塞尔所能做出的成绩快了四成,这位英国人自己在3号弯险些撞墙。
Russell的下一轮尝试要好得多,比这位四届世界冠军的成绩快了四成,跑出1分45秒387的标杆成绩。Leclerc与Verstappen的差距仅为0.004秒,从法拉利队友汉密尔顿手中抢下第四,Antonelli则位列第五。
晚些时候提升排名的努力受阻,小红牛新秀Arvid Lindblad在7号弯失控,随后奥迪的霍肯伯格在4号弯遭遇问题,导致最后几分钟出现第二次虚拟安全车。
但皮亚斯特里确实在后期有所提升,升至第六,此前他和队友诺里斯都经历了一场混乱的练习赛,Norris因未能用软胎做出有效圈速而停留在第14位,两辆赛车都不得不接受损坏检查。为了帮助解决车队低速弯的弱点,迈凯伦在FP1中试用了新的侧箱、新的底板边缘和修改后的扩散器,是带来重大升级套件的几支车队之一。
回到熟悉的小红牛座舱后,劳森获得第七,领先于Lindblad,哈斯车手奥康和奥迪的博托莱托跻身前十。
升级后的奥迪赛车将威廉姆斯车队的卡洛斯·塞恩斯和亚历克斯·阿尔本挡在前十名之外,威廉姆斯也首次推出了期待已久的升级套件。此次更新包括重新设计的地板和更轻的底盘,不过车队在FP1中遭遇刹车过热问题,导致塞恩斯损失了赛道时间。

F1 Azerbaijan GP: George Russell tops FP1 as Kimi Antonelli suffers Mercedes trouble
Championship leader Kimi Antonelli has lost valuable track time at Formula 1's Azerbaijan Grand Prix as Mercedes team-mate George Russell topped opening practice
Mercedes driver George Russell led Max Verstappen in the first free practice at F1's Azerbaijan Grand Prix as Kimi Antonelli hit trouble.
Russell's 1m45.387s lap, set with 20 minutes to go in the one-hour session, was comfortably enough to hold off the competition as his Mercedes team-mate disappeared from the session early, with Max Verstappen and Ferrari's Charles Leclerc rounding out the top three instead.
With the race exceptionally held on Saturday to accommodate a national holiday, Thursday's first practice at the Baku city circuit got off to a leisurely start with drivers taking a cautious approach. The slippery street layout is only used once a year and therefore proved dusty at the start of the race weekend.
Max Verstappen put down a first marker with a 1m46.635s on hard tyre, followed by a 1m46.512s lap, despite reporting that the brakes on his RB22 were pulling. Team-mate Isack Hadjar had similar problems on his return to the Red Bull cockpit after being sidelined for three weekends with a wrist fracture - losing out on crucial time with an apparent power unit issue.
After 15 minutes, championship leader Antonelli Antonelli hit the top of the timesheets courtesy of a 1m46.265s lap, but the Italian then hit trouble before the halfway point. Antonelli ground to a halt in Turn 7 with a smoking Mercedes W17, complaining of a hydraulic issue and causing a virtual safety car.
The 20-year-old's car was swiftly cleared by the marshals without requiring a red flag. That allowed the remaining drivers to fit the soft tyres for the second half of the session. After locking the fronts in Turn 1 and having to dive into the escape road, Verstappen's second attempt yielded the Dutchman top spot with a 1m34.787s lap, four tenths quicker than what George Russell could muster, the Briton himself narrowly avoiding the wall in Turn 3.
Russell's next effort was much better, taking four tenths out of the four-time world champion's time to set a 1m45.387s benchmark. Leclerc came within 0.004s of Verstappen to take fourth away from Ferrari stablemate Lewis Hamilton as Antonelli took fifth.
Late efforts to move up the leaderboard were thwarted by Racing Bulls rookie Arvid Lindblad getting out of shape at Turn 7 and then Audi's Nico Hulkenberg suffering an issue in Turn 4, causing a second virtual safety car in the final minutes.
But Oscar Piastri did find a late improvement to go sixth after what had been a messy session for both he and team-mate Lando Norris, who was stuck in 14th without a representative soft-tyre lap, as both cars had to be checked for damage. In a bid to help address the team's low-speed weakness, McLaren trialled new sidepods, a new floor edge, and a revised diffuser in FP1, one of several teams to bring a substantial update package.
On his return to his familiar Racing Bulls cockpit, Liam Lawson took seventh ahead of Lindblad, with Haas driver Esteban Ocon and Audi's Gabriel Bortoleto rounding out the top 10.
The upgraded Audis kept Williams duo Carlos Sainz and Alex Albon out of the top 10 as Williams also debuted its long-awaited upgrade package. The update includes a redesigned floor and a lighter chassis, though the team suffered with brake overheating in FP1 which cost Sainz track time.
