阿塞拜疆大奖赛二练：拉塞尔最快
乔治·拉塞尔在阿塞拜疆大奖赛第二节练习赛中做出最快圈速，领先梅赛德斯队友、F1积分榜领跑者基米·安东内利。
乔治·拉塞尔延续了阿塞拜疆大奖赛周末的强劲开局，在第二节练习赛中做出最快圈速，大幅领先梅赛德斯队友、F1积分榜领跑者基米·安东内利。
在巴库城市街道赛道上，拉塞尔的梅赛德斯和马克斯·维斯塔潘的红牛在练习赛初段与迈凯伦的兰多·诺里斯交替做出最快圈速，随后拉塞尔换上一套软胎进行排位赛模拟。
但这次尝试在拉塞尔的出场圈就被打断，F1新秀阿尔维德·林德布拉德驾驶赛车公牛在通过狭窄的城堡路段时，右后胎撞上了护墙。
红旗出示以清理这起事故时，排名依次为维斯塔潘、拉塞尔、诺里斯、刘易斯·汉密尔顿的法拉利、伊萨克·哈贾尔的红牛——他因引擎问题错过了第一节练习赛的大部分时间——以及夏尔·勒克莱尔。
练习赛恢复后，拉塞尔成为第一位圈速低于1分44秒的车手，以1分43秒7的成绩领先维斯塔潘0.4秒，维斯塔潘此前曾抱怨他升级版红牛“不断需要反打方向”，因为“我的后轴在离地”。
拉塞尔又削去0.4秒，最终以1分43秒347的最快圈速结束练习赛，尽管他在最后一个直道上需要绕开加布里埃尔·博尔托莱托缓慢行驶的奥迪。
这一路段本周已被标记为特别危险区域，尤其是当处于飞驰圈的车手遇到正在冷却圈/充电圈的车手时。
利亚姆·劳森在该路段起始处的弯道中恰好遇到汉密尔顿的法拉利，汉密尔顿将在练习赛后因劳森所称的“危险”驾驶接受赛会干事调查。
安东内利因梅赛德斯液压问题错过了第一节练习赛的大部分时间，在第二节练习赛中看起来比拉塞尔慢一步，最终落后超过半秒——他最终将自己的梅赛德斯排在拉塞尔和维斯塔潘的红牛之间。
维斯塔潘比勒克莱尔的法拉利快不到0.3秒，汉密尔顿再落后不到0.2秒，迈凯伦的兰多·诺里斯和奥斯卡·皮亚斯特里分列第六和第八，中间隔着意大利大奖赛杆位得主皮埃尔·加斯利的阿尔派——三人都做出1分44秒8。
回归的哈贾尔驾驶另一辆红牛以1分44秒8排名第九，即将离开哈斯的埃斯特班·奥康位列第十。
弗兰科·科拉平托的阿尔派和劳森的赛车公牛紧随其后，排在塞尔吉奥·佩雷斯之前，佩雷斯利用皮亚斯特里迈凯伦的尾流和法拉利最新的ADUO 2引擎升级——佩雷斯的凯迪拉克队友瓦尔特利·博塔斯估计价值0.2秒——做出第13快圈速。
这使得领先的凯迪拉克排在两辆奥迪、两辆威廉姆斯、林德布拉德撞坏的赛车公牛、博塔斯、奥利·贝尔曼抛锚的哈斯和两辆阿斯顿·马丁-本田之前。
英文原文
George Russell continued his strong start to the Azerbaijan Grand Prix weekend by setting the fastest time in second practice, well clear of Mercedes team-mate and Formula 1 championship leader Kimi Antonelli.
Russell’s Mercedes and the Red Bull of Max Verstappen traded fastest times in the early part of the session with McLaren’s Lando Norris on the Baku City street circuit, before Russell bolted on a set of soft tyres for a qualifying simulation.
But that run was cut short on Russell’s out-lap when F1 rookie Arvid Lindblad clouted the wall with his Racing Bulls’ right rear tyre while navigating the narrow castle section.
As the red flags came out to clear up that shunt, the order stood as Verstappen, Russell, Norris, Lewis Hamilton’s Ferrari, Isack Hadjar’s Red Bull - making up for missing most of FP1 to an engine problem - and Charles Leclerc.
After the session resumed Russell was the first driver to lap below 1m44s, cutting the timing beam at 1m43.7s to lead the way by four tenths from Verstappen, who earlier had complained of “constantly counter-steering” his upgraded Red Bull because “my rear axle is coming off the ground”.
Russell shaved a further four tenths off to finish the session with a 1m43.347s best, despite needing to swerve around Gabriel Bortoleto’s slow Audi on the final straight.
This section has been flagged already as an area of particular danger this weekend, especially when cars on hot laps come across those on cool-down/battery recharge laps.
Liam Lawson encountered Hamilton’s Ferrari in precisely this scenario through the kinks at the start of that section and Hamilton will be investigated by the stewards after the session for what Lawson called "dangerous" driving.
Having missed a large chunk of FP1 to a hydraulic problem on his Mercedes, Antonelli looked a step behind Russell in FP2 and finished up over half a second off the pace - having eventually slotted his Mercedes between Russell and Verstappen’s Red Bull in the times.
Verstappen was just under three tenths clear of Leclerc’s Ferrari, with Hamilton just under two tenths further back, and the McLarens of Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri in sixth and eighth, split by Italian GP pole winner Pierre Gasly’s Alpine - all three on a 1m44.8s.
Returnee Hadjar ended the session ninth in the other Red Bull, also on a 1m44.8s, while soon-to-be ex-Haas driver Esteban Ocon rounded out the top 10.
Franco Colapinto’s Alpine and Lawson’s Racing Bulls were next, just ahead of Sergio Perez, who made good use of a tow from Piastri’s McLaren and Ferrari’s latest ADUO 2 engine upgrade - reckoned to be worth 0.2s by Perez’s Cadillac team-mate Valtteri Bottas - to set the 13th quickest time.
That put the lead Cadillac ahead of both Audis, both Williamses, Lindblad’s crumpled Racing Bulls, Bottas, the broken down Haas of Ollie Bearman and the two Aston Martin-Hondas.
