乔治·拉塞尔认为Formula 1需要重新审视其车辆当前的行驶状态

梅赛德斯F1车手乔治·拉塞尔明天将面临美国大奖赛的挑战，由于资格赛表现不佳，他将从第六位发车。尽管他的队友和车队领袖基米·安东内利将从杆位发车，但这位英国人认为，鉴于美洲赛车场上的颠簸问题，F1可能需要重新考虑车辆的行驶状态。
红牛车队的马克斯·维斯塔潘在周四比赛周末之前首先提出了投诉，他描述这些颠簸为"无法接受"和"失控"。拉塞尔支持这位荷兰人，但随后在周六表现不佳后，他表示他认为汽车本身也是问题的一部分。
“是的，我的意思是这确实非常糟糕，”他在赛道表面上说。"但是当你被迫将汽车跑得如此低和如此僵硬时，这始终是一个挑战。如果我们能让它在赛道上行驶，那么我们可能需要考虑他们如何让我们在更合理的区域驾驶汽车。"
周四，拉塞尔呼吁一级方程式赛道每几年就重新铺设一次路面，他指出，在直道结束时，汽车离地面只有"10毫米"。
COTA主席博比·爱泼斯坦承认在1号弯的凹陷在他看来"无法接受"，但他告诉ESPN没有"简单的解决办法"。在排位赛中，麦凯轮车队的奥斯卡·皮亚斯特里将其比作"摩托车越野跳跃"，他在排位赛中排名第七。
梅赛德斯车手的周六并不顺利。他比安东内利慢了0.441秒，并表示他在Q3中根本没能完成一圈。
“我认为从我的角度来看，Q3中出了两个糟糕的圈。就是这样简单，你知道？在第一部分感觉很好。感觉不错，但后来低速时我挣扎了，Q3中根本没能调整好。”
他在第一次尝试中的失误代价高昂。
“只是在第12个转弯处打滑了一下，然后就像雪球一样滚开了。在第三部分失去了所有。就是这样。”
兰多·诺里斯称这是他感觉过的最糟糕的风，但拉塞尔说云层覆盖也产生了很大的影响。
“是的，我的意思是云层覆盖也有很大的影响，所以我认为在最后一圈没有人能有所改进，因为太阳出来了，但不幸的是，我的第一圈并不好。”
当被问及为什么云层会有如此大的影响时，他回答道：“嗯，对所有人来说，赛道温度上升了几个摄氏度，当你到达第三区时，这对轮胎和窗口或不是有很大的影响。”
第六名让拉塞尔还有工作要做。如果安东内利周日获胜，他就能锁定冠军，而拉塞尔排名第九或更低，刘易斯·汉密尔顿排名第五或更低。

George Russell calls for F1 rethink as cars are “forced to run so low and so stiff”
George Russell believes Formula 1 needs to revisit how low and stiff its cars currently run
For Mercedes fans. All the latest from the Silver Arrows, with F1 news, driver updates, car development and race analysis from Brackley and Brixworth.
Mercedes Formula 1 driver George Russell faces a challenging United States Grand Prix tomorrow as a disappointing qualifying means he'll start sixth. While his team-mate and championship leader Kimi Antonelli is starting on pole, the Briton argues that F1 may need to rethink how low and stiff the cars run following criticism of the bumps at the Circuit of the Americas.
Red Bull's Max Verstappen was the first to raise complaints on Thursday ahead of the race weekend, with him describing the bumps as "unacceptable" and "out of control". Russell backed the Dutchman, but, following his poor Saturday, added that he believes the cars are just as much a part of the problem.
“Yeah, I mean it is definitely pretty bad," he said on the track surface. "But it’s always a challenge when you’re forced to run the car so low and so stiff. If we can get it on the tracks, then maybe we need to think about how they allow us to run the cars in a more sensible region.”
On Thursday, Russell called for F1 circuits to be resurfaced “every couple of years”, pointing out that the cars run just “10mm” from the ground at the end of the straight.
COTA chairman Bobby Epstein has admitted the dip at Turn 1 is “not acceptable in my mind”, but told ESPN there is “no easy fix”. McLaren’s Oscar Piastri compared it to “a motocross jump” after qualifying saw him finish seventh.
The Mercedes driver's Saturday did not go to plan. He was 0.441 seconds off Antonelli, and said he simply failed to put a lap together in Q3.
“I think from my side, it was two bad laps in Q3. Simple as that really, you know? Was feeling very good in sector one. Feeling good, but then low speed I was struggling and just didn’t get it together in Q3.”
A mistake on his first run proved costly.
"It was just one slide around Turn 12 and then it was just a snowball. Lost it all in sector three. And yeah, simple as that.”
Lando Norris called the wind the worst he had felt, but Russell said cloud cover also made a big difference.
“Yeah, I mean cloud cover was having quite an impact as well, so I don’t think anybody improved on that last lap because the sun came out, but unfortunately my first lap was not good enough.”
Asked why the clouds made such a difference, he answered, “Well, just for everyone, the track temperature raises by a couple of degrees and when you get to sector three, that has a huge difference to the tyres and the window or not.”
Sixth leaves Russell with work to do. Antonelli can clinch the title on Sunday if he wins, with Russell finishing ninth or lower and Lewis Hamilton fifth or lower.
