维斯塔潘指出红牛2026赛季下半程“首要任务”
F1夏休期间，马克斯·维斯塔潘落后积分榜领跑者基米·安东内利110分。尽管上赛季他曾在下半程发起惊人反击，但这次他并不期待类似情况重演，并指出红牛的首要任务。
马克斯·维斯塔潘指出红牛在2026年一级方程式赛季下半程的“首要任务”
据维斯塔潘所说，红牛急需弄清楚为什么赛车有时会在一个一级方程式比赛周末的过程中表现变差。技术总监皮埃尔·瓦什则指出了另一个弱点
在一级方程式夏休期间，马克斯·维斯塔潘发现自己落后总冠军领跑者安东内利多达110分。
上个赛季，这位四届世界冠军从赞德沃特站开始上演了一场精彩的逆袭，并在赛季下半程的每一场大奖赛中都登上了领奖台，但这一次他完全没有期待那样的局面会重演。
红牛这次面临的问题更为复杂。车队在本赛季开始时就存在明显劣势，这一点此前已被预料到，只是原因有所不同。赛季开始前，自研动力单元是最大的疑问，尽管DM01的表现出人意料地具有竞争力。
然而在底盘方面，短板更为严重。再加上小红牛22的超出重量这一因素，就不难理解为什么根据Paceteq的数据，红牛在澳大利亚和中国的纯比赛节奏上落后超过1.3秒。
到比利时和匈牙利时，这一差距已缩小到每圈0.2秒，不过维斯塔潘认为这些数字并不能说明全部问题。
在布达佩斯，这位荷兰车手表示，红牛似乎每个周末都会冒出一个新问题，此前他还开玩笑说，今年所有的挫折会让他把冬歇期当成在西藏的佛陀一样度过。
维斯塔潘表示，在匈牙利，相比轮胎衰退，他更多受到的是“赛车衰退”的影响，这是红牛需要解决的问题。
更严肃地说，维斯塔潘表示红牛需要把这类问题控制住，尤其是在匈牙利经历了被他所描述的“赛车衰退”之后——整个周末赛车状况不断变差，甚至在一个练习时段内也在变差。
“我们首先需要找到更多的整体性能。然后我们需要解决我们的问题，就是我们有时候会在一个周末的过程中损失性能，甚至从比赛开始到结束也在损失，”维斯塔潘说。
“所以，是的，这其实是一个很大的优先事项。”
维斯塔潘可以用一个词概括2026赛季的上半程：“艰难。”
“总体来说，非常艰难。有一些美好的时刻，我想也有一些闪光的时刻，但总体而言，一直很艰难。所以，我认为我们需要努力变得更稳健一些，更全面一些，让比赛周末更顺利。另外，我们还需要找到更多性能。”
“说到底就是这么简单。除了找到更多性能之外，就是不要让当前这套赛车套件再出现这些问题。”
红牛车队也仍在苦苦应对入弯不稳定和中段转向不足的问题
皮埃尔·瓦谢指出小红牛22的两个弱点。
在维斯塔潘强调红牛需要避免这些负面意外的同时，技术总监皮埃尔·瓦谢承认，小红牛22也存在几位车手都抱怨过的几个具体问题。
瓦谢在接受Motorsport.赛车运动网站提问时表示：“我认为，和每一辆赛车一样，你会看到车手在使用赛车时存在一些局限，包括它的负载，以及在平衡方面、尝试重新调校赛车平衡时所能做的事情的特性。”
瓦谢说：“显然，和每一辆赛车一样，我们在入弯（弯角）稳定性和弯中转向不足方面存在一些局限。我们尝试通过使用一些机械手段来避免这些问题。”
维斯塔潘非常不喜欢弯中转向不足，不过在这方面两位红牛车手的反馈其实相当接近。
当Motorsport.com问哈贾尔他认为最大的限制是什么时，他指出的问题与瓦什相同。
“入弯稳定性需要先解决，之后我们才能改进其他方面。”这位21岁的法国车手说道。
尽管存在这些问题，红牛自赛季初的艰难阶段以来已经取得了显著进步。瓦什在回顾2026年那些痛苦的开幕赛周末时也得出了同样的结论。
"关于赛车在初期的问题，很明显与其他一些车队相比，我们缺少一些下压力。而且赛车上还有一些机械故障，导致车手无法通过方向盘感受到赛车的状态。我们在一开始就修正了这个问题。
"这花了一点时间，但这叠加在整体性能（差距）和赛车潜力之上。所以是的，我们确实在车手的感受方面遇到了一些问题，这已经不是什么秘密了。"

Max Verstappen pinpoints Red Bull's "big priority" for second half of F1 2026
According to Verstappen, Red Bull urgently needs to understand why the car sometimes gets worse over the course of an F1 weekend. Technical director Pierre Wache points to another weakness
During Formula 1's summer break, Max Verstappen finds himself no fewer than 110 points behind championship leader Kimi Antonelli.
Last season, the four-time world champion launched a spectacular comeback from Zandvoort onwards and finished on the podium in every grand prix during the second half of the season, but this time he is absolutely not expecting that scenario.
Red Bull's problems are more complex this time around. The team started the season with a significant deficit, which had been expected, albeit for different reasons. Before the season, its own power unit was the biggest question mark, although the DM01 has proved surprisingly competitive.
On the chassis side, however, the shortcomings were greater. Add the RB22's excess weight to the equation and it becomes clear why Red Bull was more than 1.3 seconds off in terms of pure race pace in Australia and China, according to figures from Paceteq.
That gap had been reduced to two tenths per lap in Belgium and Hungary, although Verstappen believes those figures do not tell the whole story.
In Budapest, the Dutchman said that a new problem seems to emerge at Red Bull every weekend, having previously joked that all the setbacks this year would lead him to spend the winter break as a Buddha in Tibet.
Verstappen says that in Hungary he was more affected by "car degradation" than tyre degradation, an issue Red Bull needs to address
On a more serious note, Verstappen says Red Bull needs to get these kinds of issues under control, particularly after he experienced what he described as "car degradation" in Hungary, with the car getting worse over the course of the weekend and even during a session.
"We need to first find more overall performance. And then we need to fix our problems, where we sometimes just lose performance over a weekend, or even from the start of the race to the end,” Verstappen said.
"So, yeah, that is actually a big priority."
Verstappen can sum up the first half of the 2026 season in one word: "Tough."
"In general, it’s been very tough. Some good moments, some bright and shining moments, I guess, but in overall, it has been tough. So, I think we need to try and be more solid, a bit more all-round, to have more straightforward weekends. Plus, we need to find more performance.
"It’s as simple as that at the end of the day. Then, besides finding more performance, just not having these issues with the current package."
Red Bull is also still struggling with corner entry instability and mid-corner understeer
Pierre Wache identifies two weaknesses of the RB22
While Verstappen stresses that Red Bull needs to prevent these negative surprises, technical director Pierre Wache acknowledges that the RB22 also has several specific problems that both drivers have complained about.
"I think, as with every racing car, you see some limitations in how the drivers can use the car, the load of it, and the characteristics of what you can do in terms of balance and trying to rebalance the car.
"Clearly, we have some limitations, like every racing car, in terms of stability on [corner] entry and mid-corner understeer. And we try to avoid those aspects by using some mechanical tools to achieve it," Wache said when asked by Motorsport.com.
Verstappen strongly dislikes mid-corner understeer, although the feedback from both Red Bull drivers is fairly similar in that respect.
When Motorsport.com asked Hadjar what he considers the biggest limitation, he pointed to the same areas as Wache.
"Entry stability needs to be solved, and then we can improve the rest," the 21-year-old French driver said.
Despite these problems, Red Bull has made significant progress since the difficult opening phase of the season. Wache reaches the same conclusion when reflecting on the painful opening race weekends of 2026.
"Regarding the issues with the car at the beginning, clearly we were missing some load compared to some others. And we also had some mechanical gremlins on the car, which meant the driver didn’t feel the car through the steering. We corrected that at the beginning.
"It took a little bit of time, but it came on top of the overall performance [deficit] and the potential of the car. So yeah, we had some issues with the drivers’ feeling, that is not a secret."
