诺里斯：迈凯伦巴库速度劣势如“心头一刀”
对诺里斯来说，这是一个不堪回首的周四，迈凯伦在练习赛中遇到问题且缺乏速度
兰多·诺里斯将迈凯伦在F1阿塞拜疆大奖赛上的表现不佳形容为“心头一刀”。
诺里斯在周四的首节练习赛中仅列第14位，比乔治·拉塞尔的标杆成绩慢1.6秒——不过队友奥斯卡·皮亚斯特里只慢了1秒。他在FP2中跑出第六，落后1.5秒，红牛和法拉利则与梅赛德斯接近得多——分别落后0.8秒和1.1秒——但诺里斯确实放弃了一个更快的单圈。
迈凯伦速度不佳的同时还遭遇了多项技术问题，包括FP1中两辆车底板出现的异常损伤。
“我们差得远了，”诺里斯在当天结束时紧张地说道。“我的意思是，相对而言，我们算是靠前的。我们处在预期中的位置，但落后1.5秒，所以相当糟糕。”
当被问及迈凯伦是否有可能缩小这一差距时，这位英国车手表示：“我不知道，所以我们会看看今晚能做些什么。赛车感觉没那么糟。当你看到差距这么大时，就像心头一刀。”
谈到驾驶MCL40的感觉时，诺里斯坚称只有纯粹的圈速才真正重要。
“我不太在乎我对赛车有多大信心，”他说。“我只在乎速度，而我们不够快。所以我不在乎，给我什么车我就开什么车。我只希望它快，而现在它不够快，但我们会看看明天能改变什么。”
巴库历来是诺里斯表现最差的赛道之一，这位49次登上领奖台的车手在阿塞拜疆从未进入前三——而且显然在本周末终结这一纪录的形势中处于下风。

Lando Norris: McLaren’s Baku deficit is a “knife in the heart”
It was a Thursday to forget for Norris as McLaren encountered issues and lacked pace in practice
Lando Norris has described McLaren’s lack of performance at Formula 1’s Azerbaijan Grand Prix as “a little knife in the heart”.
Norris took a lowly 14th in the opening practice session on Thursday, 1.6s slower than George Russell’s benchmark – although team-mate Oscar Piastri was just one second down. His deficit was 1.5s as he drove to sixth in FP2, with Red Bull and Ferrari substantially closer to Mercedes – 0.8s and 1.1s adrift respectively – but Norris did abort a faster attempt.
McLaren’s poor pace was compounded by a number of technical issues including peculiar damage to both floors in FP1.
“We're miles off,” a nervous Norris commented at the end of the day. “I mean, we're up there, let's say, relative. We're in a position we expect to be in, but like 1.5 seconds off the pace, so pretty pants.”
Asked if there was a gap that McLaren might be able to close at all, the Briton said: “I have no idea, so we'll see what work we can do tonight. The car doesn't feel that bad. It's a little knife in the heart when you see how far off you are.”
Regarding his feeling at the wheel of the MCL40, Norris insisted only raw performance actually mattered.
“I don't really care how confident I am in the car,” he said. “I just care about the pace, and we're not very fast. So I don't care, I drive whatever car I get given. I just want it to be quick, and it's not very quick at the minute, but we'll see what we can change for tomorrow.”
Baku has historically been one of Norris’ worst circuits, as the 49-time podium finisher has always failed to finish in the top three in Azerbaijan – and manifestly is on the back foot to end the streak this weekend.
