乔治·拉塞尔透露自己因驾驶问题失眠，而非F1冠军争夺战

乔治·拉塞尔透露他因自己的驾驶问题失眠，而非F1冠军争夺战。
梅赛德斯车手表示，他自己的表现不佳让他夜不能寐，而非与队友基米·安东内利的冠军争夺战。
对于梅赛德斯车迷来说，这里是关于银箭的最新消息，包括来自布拉克利和布里克斯沃思的F1新闻、车手更新、赛车发展和赛事分析。
众所周知，2026赛季对乔治·拉塞尔来说是一场噩梦。当他的19岁队友安德烈亚·基米·安东内利正朝着可能的驾驶员冠军头衔稳步前进时，拉塞尔却受到了机械故障、运气不佳和赛车不适合其驾驶风格的残酷影响。
当事情变得如此糟糕时，大多数车手开始指责工程师或抱怨赛车。但正如停机区为美国大奖赛在德克萨斯州奥斯汀的举行做准备时，拉塞尔正采取一种完全不同的方法：深入自我反思。
在周四的媒体日在美国赛车场，拉塞尔对赛季给他带来的心理压力进行了非常坦率的讨论。
“这是一个非常独特的赛季。这是一个考验我的性格和韧性的赛季，你知道的，我不得不多次照镜子，思考我如何从这些打击中反弹，”拉塞尔向媒体解释道。
随着安东内利在奥斯汀或墨西哥城以数学上的位置有可能赢得世界冠军，拉塞尔被迫直面自己的挑战，而不是沉溺于失望之中。
“我只是想放弃并接受不幸或糟糕的表现，还是想尝试纠正它，充分利用它，控制我能控制的一切？”他补充道。
拉塞尔坦白的最大吸引力在于什么最让他困扰。你自然会认为看着一个青少年在完全相同的机器上完全统治发车线会是终极的自尊心杀手，但拉塞尔声称冠军积分榜并不是他焦虑的源头。
“当我说我们本赛季不再有竞争力时，我并没有什么强烈的感受，因为当我回顾年初的时候，让我夜不能寐的并不是冠军的事实；更多的是我的表现并没有达到我想要的水平，我想，我该如何将我的表现恢复到我知道我能够达到的水平？”拉塞尔承认。

而不是担心巨大的积分差距，这位英国车手在为体育技术的方面以及无法从W17中提取速度而失眠。
“我需要从这辆车中得到什么？我需要改变我的驾驶方式才能回到顶峰？然后显然还有不幸的事情，这就像在伤口上撒盐，”他陈述道。
确实有很多不幸的事情发生——包括他在在雪邦的最后几圈比赛中排名第三时发生的毁灭性的动力单元故障，这最终迫使他在新加坡的下一场比赛中遭受痛苦的发车处罚。
尽管2026赛季的现实令人沮丧，但拉塞尔显然正在利用这次残酷的经历来为未来的心理韧性打下基础。
“但你都知道，我打算在这里待很多很多年，你知道，当你被踢到地板上时，你不能放弃，你必须反弹回来，你必须更强地反弹回来，而且是的，我至少可以自豪地说，在那方面我已经全力以赴了，”他总结道。

George Russell reveals he lost sleep over his own driving, not the F1 championship
The Mercedes driver says his own lack of performance kept him awake at night, not losing the championship fight to teammate Kimi Antonelli
For Mercedes fans. All the latest from the Silver Arrows, with F1 news, driver updates, car development and race analysis from Brackley and Brixworth.
It is no secret that the 2026 Formula 1 season has been an absolute nightmare for George Russell. While his 19-year-old team-mate Andrea Kimi Antonelli is currently cruising toward a potential Drivers' Championship title, Russell has been plagued by a brutal mix of mechanical failures, bad luck, and a car that simply doesn't suit his driving style.
When things get this bad, most drivers start pointing fingers at the engineers or complaining about the car. But as the paddock gears up for the United States Grand Prix in Austin, Texas, Russell is taking a completely different approach: intense self-reflection.
During Thursday's media day at the Circuit of the Americas, Russell got incredibly candid about the psychological toll the season has taken on him.
"It has been a very unique season. It has been a season where it's tested my character and resilience a lot, and you know, having to look at myself in the mirror numerous times and think how do I want to bounce back from these blows," Russell explained to the press.
With Antonelli mathematically positioned to potentially clinch the world title in Austin or Mexico City, Russell was forced to confront his own struggles head-on rather than drown in the disappointment.
"Do I just want to give up and accept the misfortune or the poor performances, or do I want to try and rectify it and make the most of it and control everything I can control?" he added.
The most fascinating part of Russell's admission is what actually bothered him the most. You would naturally assume that watching a teenager completely dominate the grid in the exact same machinery would be the ultimate ego-killer, but Russell claims the championship standings were not the source of his anxiety.
"I don't really have any major feelings running through my body when I say that we're no longer in the fight this season because I think when I look back earlier in the year, the things that were keeping me up at night wasn't necessarily the facts of the championship; it was more that my performance wasn't where I wanted it to be, and it was like, well, how am I going to get my performance back to the levels I know I'm capable of?" Russell admitted.

Instead of stressing over the massive points deficit, the Brit was losing sleep over the technical side of the sport and his inability to extract pace from the W17.
"What is it I need from the car? What do I need to change in my driving to get back on top of things? And then obviously with the misfortune that just sort of added salt to the wound," he stated.
There has certainly been plenty of misfortune to go around—including a devastating power unit failure while he was running third in the closing laps at Sepang, which ultimately forced a painful grid penalty at the following race in Singapore.
Despite the crushing reality of the 2026 campaign, Russell is clearly using the brutal experience to build his mental toughness for the future.
"But you know I intend to be here for many, many, many years to come and you can't give up when you're, you know, being kicked to the floor and you gotta bounce back, you gotta bounce back even stronger, and yeah I can at least be proud that I've given it my all in that regard," he concluded.
