林德布拉德自我批评:想得太特殊
F1新秀阿尔维德·林德布拉德在阿塞拜疆大奖赛表现挣扎,二练撞车、排位赛失误,他严厉自我批评称“想得太特殊”,并承认自己缺乏信心。
F1新秀阿尔维德·林德布拉德对他在阿塞拜疆大奖赛迄今为止的表现进行了严厉的自我评估,并将在“想得太特殊”之后调整自己的方式。
巴库周末堪称林德布拉德在F1令人印象深刻的首个赛季中最艰难的一站,他在二练中严重撞车,随后在排位赛中多次失误,最终在Q2车手中排名最慢——这是他本赛季第二差的成绩。
林德布拉德表示,小红牛赛车在整个练习赛和排位赛中“刹车很差”,并且“开起来一点都不好玩”,但他表示自己承担了在练习赛中误判该有多激进以及击碎自己信心的责任。
他在二练中的撞车是由于进入狭窄的城堡路段时速度过快,重重撞上外侧护墙,而此前在上一站马德里他也曾在二练中撞车。
这也导致林德布拉德使用了比队友利亚姆·劳森稍旧规格的部件,因为小红牛在这里首秀了新的前翼。
“说实话,我毫无信心,”他说。
“昨天撞车,这没有帮助。我和利亚姆的赛车不同——撞车后你就能预料到,所以这没有帮助。
“我也缺少了里程,我错过了FP1的开始、FP2的开始,然后我撞车了,基本上错过了其余所有时间。
“我需要……我认为我需要学习如何更好地应对这些周末,以更好的方式管理它们,因为现在已经连续两个街道赛道我在FP2撞车,损害了我通往排位赛的轨迹。
“我们这个周末很挣扎,所以Q3可能不太可能,但我绝对认为如果我管理得更好一些,我们本可以在进入这节比赛时处于更好的位置,也许,如果有一点运气,本可以进入Q3。”
林德布拉德表示,未能拿出特别表现是“最让我恼火”的事情。他在14场大奖赛中有9场从发车区前十起步——包括最近连续七场。
“我只是生自己的气,因为最重要的是,在试图太特殊的过程中,我损害了关键时刻的轨迹,我没有在当下交出表现,”他说。
“我喜欢能够关掉大脑,在关键时刻放手一搏,享受一点乐趣,但这周我并没有真正能够做到,我认为我本可以更好地管理事情来做到这一点。”
劳森在小红牛一个比今年预期更弱的周末中仅排第12位,这支车队目前在积分榜上排名第五。
他将此归因于相比中场其他车队缺乏引擎性能——并表示这也是刹车处于刀刃边缘的部分原因。
“我们只是在试图弥补并不真正存在的时间,这真的很难,”劳森说。
“总的来说,如果我看我排位赛的最后一圈,那是我做过的最好的一圈,如果有合适的尾流,本足以进入Q3,但那几乎需要一切完美按计划进行,而在这样的赛道上,显然不是每个人都能做到。
“我们整个周末肯定都很挣扎,这很艰难,但我认为这与蒙扎相似。这些有很长直道的赛道,我们现在比以前更吃亏一些。”
英文原文
Formula 1 rookie Arvid Lindblad delivered a scathing self-assessment of his performance so far at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix and will adjust his approach after “trying to be too special”.
The Baku weekend is proving arguably the toughest of Lindblad’s impressive first season in F1 as he crashed heavily in FP2 then made several mistakes in qualifying, which he ended slowest of the Q2 runners - his second-worst result of the year.
Lindblad said the Racing Bulls car has been “bad on the brakes” all through practice and qualifying and “just not been fun to drive” but said he shouldered responsibility for misjudging how aggressive to be in practice and shattering his own confidence.
His FP2 shunt, which was a result of taking too much speed into the narrow castle section and slamming heavily into the wall on the outside, came after crashing in second practice at the last race in Madrid too.
It has left Lindblad running a slightly older specification of parts compared to team-mate Liam Lawson, too, after Racing Bulls debuted a new front wing here.
“I have no confidence, to be honest,” he said.
“Crashing yesterday, it doesn't help. I'm running a different car to Liam - as you'd expect when you crash, so that doesn't help.
“I've missed mileage as well, I missed the start of FP1, start of FP2 and then I crashed, I missed basically all the rest of it.
“I need to...I think there's stuff for me to learn on how to approach these weekends and manage them in a little bit of a better way because it's been two street circuits now where I've crashed in FP2 and hurt my trajectory to qualifying.
“We were struggling this weekend so probably Q3 wasn't possible but I definitely think if I'd managed things a little bit better we could have been in a better place going into this session and maybe, with a little bit of magic on my side, could have been in Q3.”
Lindblad said that not pulling something out of the bag was “what annoys me” most. He has started inside the top 10 for nine of the 14 grands prix – including the last seven in a row.
“I'm just mad at myself because, more than anything, in trying to be too special I've hurt my trajectory for when it matters and I haven't delivered in the moment,” he said.
“I enjoy being able to sort of switch off the brain and just send it when it matters and just go and have a bit of fun with it but this week I haven't really been able to do that and I think I could have just managed things in a better way to do that.”
Lawson was only 12th fastest on a weaker weekend for Racing Bulls than the fifth-placed team in the championship has come to expect this year.
He put that down to lacking engine performance compared to other teams in the midfield - and said that is partly where being on a knife-edge on the brakes has come from.
“We're just trying to make up time that is not really there and it's really tough,” said Lawson.
“Overall, if I look at my last lap of quali, it was the best lap I've done and with the right tow it would have been enough to get through to Q3, but that's pretty much everything going perfectly to plan and on a track like this that's obviously not happening for everybody.
“We've definitely struggled all weekend, it's been tough, but I think it's similar to Monza. These tracks with these really long straights we suffer a little bit more now than we did before.”
