维斯塔潘谈如何改进马德里F1赛道：“如果给我赛道图……”
维斯塔潘表示全新的马德里赛道完全没有超车机会，并认同诺里斯关于超长维修区设计欠考虑的看法。
马克斯·维斯塔潘谈如何改进新的马德里F1赛道：“如果他们把赛道图给我……”
维斯塔潘表示，新的马德里赛道完全没有超车机会。他还同意兰多·诺里斯的看法，即过长的维修区通道没有经过充分的考量。
虽然围绕马德里IFEMA园区举行的二级方程式和三级方程式比赛中发生了多起撞车事故，但一级方程式方面的混乱目前仍然有限。
尽管如此，在西班牙首都的排位赛之后，车手们的批评声还是出现了。
从单圈飞驰圈来看，这条赛道被认为颇具乐趣——尽管杆位得主兰多·诺里斯表示，这种刺激感当然无法与摩纳哥相比——但正赛预计会麻烦得多。
“我还需要找到一个能超车的弯角，”马克斯·维斯塔潘在新闻发布会一开始就直截了当地说。
“他们在铺装路面上做得不错，尽管有些地方作为一条新赛道来说已经有点太颠簸了。但弯道，就像我之前说的，你根本没法超车。
“至于刹车区，他们需要明白，永远不应该出现边刹车边打方向的情况。这种情况完全无法实现任何形式的超车。所以，在赛道设计方面，我认为还可以做得更好。我同时也认为，未来车手对赛道设计的意见能起到很大帮助。”
新闻发布会结束后，轮到维斯塔潘在围场里接受荷兰媒体采访，此时恰好F3冲刺赛开始。这位四届世界冠军与记者们一同观看了发车，随后维斯塔潘将注意力转向聚集的媒体。
"好了，现在我们不用再看了，现在大家都在一辆跟着一辆，"他说，再次指出了缺乏超车机会的问题。不久之后发生了撞车，但那已无关紧要。
维斯塔潘认为制动区的设计有误，使得车几乎不可能与之并排停住。
这位红牛车手强调，在这条F1赛历上最新加入的赛道上，不仅弯道设计有误，制动区的设计也有问题。如果是在直线上制动，车手就有机会与其他车并排。但由于马德里赛道的许多制动区都要求车手在转向的同时刹车，这种可能性就消失了。
"这样一来就只有一条线路，这也让防守变得非常容易," 当Motorsport.赛车运动网站问及刹车区时，维斯塔潘解释道。
当被问到究竟需要改变什么来提升比赛质量时，这位荷兰车手笑着说："几乎所有的刹车区！如果你给我赛道图，我来把它们理顺。"
更认真地说，维斯塔潘补充道，他确实愿意这样做：提供自己的意见，并与国际汽联以及赛道设计者合作，看看有哪些地方可以改进。
"他们随时可以问我，'你觉得这个布局怎么样？' 我现在不想细谈，因为赛道设计者有很多不同的风格，但有时候我确实会和某些人聊聊对特定赛道和赛道的看法。归根结底，一名车手非常清楚什么才是必要的，或者说一个好的弯道应该是什么样子。"
“也有一些不错的例子，比如奥斯汀。在那里你可以很好地比赛。某些弯道非常宽阔。至少你可以在那里尝试超车，即使不能立刻成功，你仍然可以在出弯时继续争夺。有足够的例子说明怎样才是正确的做法。”
与诺里斯一样，维斯塔潘也认为马德里的维修区通道太长了
据维斯塔潘所说，车手们事先并没有被征求对这条新马德里赛道的意见，他还补充说，这种情况反正也很少发生。
“在吉达，我们得以修改了一些地方，但你真的应该在事前就这么做，也就是在赛道建成之前。”
除了赛道布局之外，马德里赛道还有一个令人头疼的问题：特别长的维修区通道。它实际上被分成了两段，因为维修区车位中间被一个马德里会展中心（IFEMA）的展览馆隔断了。诺里斯已经在新闻发布会上批评了这一点，维斯塔潘也对此表示认同。
"是的，我们已经和国际汽联（FIA）谈过这个问题，他们也理解我们的观点。这很不方便，完全没有经过合理的规划，"维斯塔潘说。
这看起来是一个被错失的机会，尤其是因为目前为止轮胎衰减一直非常严重。按理说这通常会导致更多次的进站，但由于维修区通道太长，加上赛道位置的重要性，各车队在周日的正赛中很可能会尽量减少进站次数。
维斯塔潘原本想在那条倾斜弯角全油门通过，但他表示能量管理让他无法做到这一点
在马德里，给电池充电让维斯塔潘感到沮丧
综合来看，所有这些因素加在一起，实在难以让人期待一场精彩的比赛——除非出现混乱和撞车。车手们倒是更喜欢排位赛，不过维斯塔潘强调，2026年动力单元的缺陷在马德里再次暴露了出来。
"考虑到目前的状况以及这些赛车的情况，这次排位赛还算不错。只是我想全油门通过那个倾斜弯角，但如果那样做，之后的直道上反而会损失更多时间。"
"这意味着你必须松开油门，稍等一下给电池充电，之后就能获得更高的尾速。诸如此类的情况。18号和19号弯也是一样。在那里你也必须松油门，因为如果一直全油门，之后电池就一点电量都不剩了。"
所有这些因素加在一起，意味着维斯塔潘到目前为止还没有真正充分享受到马德里赛道的乐趣，不过他确实看到了这条赛道在未来几年的潜力。
"如果他们能在几个地方对赛道进行一些修改，那肯定可以。你看，我从来都不是街道赛道的忠实粉丝，但赛历上还有更糟糕的赛道呢。"

Max Verstappen on how to fix new Madrid F1 circuit: "If they give me the track map…"
Verstappen says the new Madring offers no overtaking opportunities at all. He also agrees with Lando Norris that the extremely long pitlane has not been properly thought through
While the Formula 2 and Formula 3 races around the IFEMA complex in Madrid have produced several crashes, the chaos in Formula 1 has so far remained limited.
Nevertheless, criticism from the drivers emerged after qualifying in the Spanish capital.
Over a single flying lap, the circuit is considered entertaining – although polesitter Lando Norris said the thrill certainly cannot be compared with Monaco – but the race promises to be considerably more problematic.
"I still need to figure out a corner where to pass," Max Verstappen said straight away at the start of the press conference.
"They did a good job with the tarmac, even though in some places it's already a bit too bumpy for a new track. But the corners, like I said before, you can't overtake.
"For the braking zones, they need to learn that it should never be that you have to steer and combine that under braking. It doesn't allow any kind of overtaking. So, in terms of track design, I think it can be better. I also think that input from the drivers on track designs can help a lot in the future."
After the press conference, it was time for Verstappen's session with the Dutch media in the paddock, which coincided with the start of the F3 sprint race. The four-time world champion and the reporters watch the start together, after which Verstappen turns his attention to the gathered media.
"Well, now we can stop watching, now everyone is just following each other," he said, again referring to the lack of overtaking opportunities. Not much later, a crash follows, but that is beside the point.
Verstappen believes that the braking zones have been wrongly designed, making it virtually impossible to bring the car to a stop alongside them
The Red Bull driver stresses that it is not only the corners, but also the braking zones that have been designed incorrectly at the latest addition to the F1 calendar. If the braking was done in a straight line, there would be an opportunity to put a car alongside. But because many of the braking zones at the Madring require drivers to brake while turning in, that option disappears.
"Then there is only one line and that makes it very easy to defend as well," Verstappen clarified when asked by Motorsport.com about the braking zones.
Asked what exactly needs to be changed to improve the racing, the Dutchman laughs: "Almost all the braking zones! If you give me the track map, I'll sort it out."
On a more serious note, Verstappen adds that he would indeed be willing to do that: provide his input and work together with the FIA and the track designers to see what could be improved.
"They can always ask me, ‘What do you think of this layout?’ I don't want to go into details now, because you have different track designers, but sometimes I do talk to someone about certain opinions and circuits. Ultimately, a driver knows very well what is needed or what a good corner should look like."
"There are also some good examples, like Austin. You can race well there. Certain corners are nice and wide. At least you can make a move there, and even if it doesn't work straight away, you can still fight on the corner exit. There are enough examples of how to do it properly."
Like Norris, Verstappen also believes that the pitlane in Madrid is way too long
According to Verstappen, the drivers were not asked for input on the new Madring beforehand, adding that this rarely happens anyway.
"In Jeddah, we were able to change a few things, but you should really do that beforehand, before the track is built."
Aside from the layout, there is another sticking point in Madrid: the particularly long pitlane. It is effectively split into two sections, as the pit boxes are interrupted by an IFEMA exhibition hall. Norris had already criticised this during the press conference, and Verstappen agreed with him.
"Yeah, we've already talked about that with the FIA and they understood our point as well. It's not convenient, it hasn't been thought through logically," Verstappen said.
It seems a missed opportunity, especially because tyre degradation has been very high so far. This would normally lead to additional pitstops, but because of the long pitlane and the importance of track position, teams are likely to try to minimise the number of pitstops on Sunday.
Verstappen wanted to take the banked corner flat out, but says that energy management prevents him from doing so
Charging the battery causes frustration for Verstappen in Madrid
Taken together, all these factors do not exactly promise an exciting race – aside from any potential chaos and crashes. The drivers enjoyed qualifying more, although Verstappen stresses that the shortcomings of the 2026 power units have once again come to the surface in Madrid.
"Considering the circumstances and what these cars are like, this qualifying was reasonably OK. It's just that I want to take that banked corner flat-out, but if I do that, then I lose more time on the straight afterwards.
"That means you have to come off the throttle, wait a little bit to charge the battery and then you have more top speed later. All those kinds of things. The same in Turns 18 and 19. You have to lift there as well, because if you stay flat-out, then you don't have any battery left afterwards."
All of these things combined mean Verstappen has not exactly enjoyed the Madring to the fullest so far, although he does see potential for the coming years.
"If they can maybe change the circuit in a few places, then definitely. Look, I'm never really a fan of street circuits, but there are worse ones on the calendar."
