F1 2026赛季中期评分：迈凯伦开局不利但进步神速
Motorsport.com对2026赛季F1前半程各车队进行评分，卫冕冠军迈凯伦因2025年争冠余波和梅赛德斯动力单元适配问题开局处于劣势，但凭借典型的赛季中段强势反弹获得B-评分。
F1 2026赛季中期评分：迈凯伦开局落后但迅速进步
Motorsport.com对2026年一级方程式赛季上半程的全部11支车队进行评分。接下来是卫冕世界冠军迈凯伦，它一直未能延续其夺冠状态
迈凯伦面临着一套完全不同的规则下延续其背靠背世界冠军头衔的挑战。从纸面上看，这支总部位于沃金的车队似乎装备精良，但其2025年夺冠余波的影响以及在使用梅赛德斯动力单元方面的困难，使它今年开局处于被动。但迈凯伦典型的赛季中期强势反弹挽救了局面，最终获得B-的评分。
新规则。新王者。随着以动力单元为主导的2026新时代的到来，梅赛德斯厂队凭借对复杂的新混合动力系统的成功运用，抢占了先机，领先于包括其客户车队在内的所有对手，这或许并不令人意外。
但至关重要的是，迈凯伦在底盘和空气动力学方面从一开始就在追赶别人，车队似乎早已预料到这种局面。维斯塔潘令人震惊的逆袭让原本看似只是队内争斗的冠军之争发生了变化，迫使迈凯伦向2025年投入比预期更多的资源，从而影响了2026年的项目。
再加上赛季中途更改空气动力学概念，迈凯伦带来了一辆按其自身估算在空气动力学开发上落后于直接对手两到三个月的2026年赛车。
这一点从第一天就很明显：梅赛德斯推出了一辆明显更强的赛车，而法拉利尽管引擎处于劣势，凭借一辆优于迈凯伦 MCL40的SF-26，似乎在实力排序中位居第二。
尽管并非自身过错，迈凯伦在冠军争夺战中急剧落后，因为在前四场比赛中它甚至有三场没能完成正赛起步。皮亚斯特里在澳大利亚的勘察圈中因引擎出现意外的动力峰值而打转冲出赛道，而他和诺里斯在中国站都遭遇电气故障，无法起步。
因此，迈凯伦在赛季过半时排在第三位，其220分落后领头羊梅赛德斯多达159分，这一差距看起来几乎不可能弥补。
从落后起步意味着迈凯伦不得不依靠自己最擅长的事情：在工厂里超越对手的竞争力。近年来这支车队曾多次奋起直追重返前列，最著名的是2024年，当时迈阿密的升级让它成为F1中人人需要击败的车队，因此车队采取了与当年相似的思路。
在日本站度过一个更好的周末之后——皮亚斯特里获得第二名——迈阿密至蒙特利尔期间的分段式升级包让竞争力有了明显提升，即便新前翼概念还需要更多时间打磨才能被充分发挥。
诺里斯在迈阿密赢得了冲刺赛，随后车队在大奖赛中包揽双领奖台，不过之后的几场比赛进一步证实，车队还需要几轮升级才能持续与梅赛德斯竞争。这一升级以匈牙利站重新设计的底板形式到来，同时还有最新版本的前翼，它让诺里斯和皮亚斯特里得以争夺胜利，前者当之无愧地夺得了他作为卫冕世界冠军的首个大奖赛冠军。
这支车队能否确认迈出这一步还有待观察，但毫无疑问，他们在进入夏休期时，对今年剩余的比赛抱有更加积极的心态。
车队领队 Andrea Stella 表示："这种进步完全可以归功于我们带去匈牙利站的升级。老实说，我仍然认为，如果我们想在未来有实力持续争夺胜利，就必须继续专注于推出更多升级。这就是计划，但我们并不天真。我们知道这将是所有车队的计划。这其实就是一场升级竞赛。"
"好消息是，迈凯伦 现在已经重新回到了这场升级竞赛中，并且在争夺领先位置。但我预计，到赛季结束时成为最佳赛车的那辆车，将在接下来的11场比赛中继续累计提升十分之几秒的速度，可能会多达半秒。所以，每支车队面前都还有很多工作要做，不仅仅是 迈凯伦。"

F1 2026 mid-season grades: McLaren starts on back foot but makes rapid progress
Motorsport.com grades all 11 teams after the first half of the 2026 Formula 1 season. Next up is reigning world champion McLaren, which has been unable to carry over its title-winning form
McLaren faced the challenge over following up its back-to-back world titles across an entirely different set of regulations. On paper, it felt like the Woking-based squad was well equipped to do so, but a combination of its 2025 title race hangover and its challenges exploiting Mercedes' power unit have put it on the back foot this year. But a typical, mid-season McLaren surge has salvaged a B- grade.
New rules. New rulers. With the onset of the 2026 era dominated by power units, it was perhaps no great surprise that the Mercedes works team stole a march on the field, including its own customers, with the exploitation of the complicated new hybrids.
But, crucially, McLaren was also playing catch-up from day one on the chassis and aero front, a scenario the team was seemingly bracing for. Max Verstappen's shocking comeback in what was looking like a straightforward intra-team title fight forced McLaren to pour more resources into 2025 than it was hoping to, compromising the 2026 project.
Add a change of aero concept halfway through, and McLaren turned up with a 2026 car that by its estimation was two to three months behind its direct rivals in terms of aerodynamic development.
That was obvious from day one, as Mercedes rolled out a much superior car while Ferrari, despite its engine handicap, appeared to be second in the pecking order with an SF-26 that was ahead of McLaren's MCL40.
Through little fault of its own, McLaren fell dramatically behind in the title fight by not even making three of its first four starts. Oscar Piastri spun out on a reconnaissance lap in Australia, after an unexpected power spike from the engine, while both he and Lando Norris suffered electric issues that prevented them from starting in China.
As a result McLaren finds itself in third place at the halfway point, its 220 points trailing leader Mercedes by a huge 159-point margin, which seems nearly impossible to overcome.
Starting on the back foot meant McLaren had to fall back on what it does best, outperforming the competition back at the factory. Having clawed its way back to the front on several occasions in recent seasons, most notably in 2024 when its Miami upgrade turned it into F1's team to beat, the squad sang from a similar hymn sheet.
On the back of a better weekend in Japan, where Piastri scored second, a split Miami-Montreal package saw a noticeable uptick in competitiveness, even if the new front wing concept needed more time in the oven to be exploited fully.
Norris won Miami's sprint before the team clinched a double podium in the grand prix, though subsequent races only further confirmed the team needed a few more rounds of upgrades to compete with Mercedes on a regular basis. That upgrade arrived in the shape of a redesigned floor for Hungary, alongside the latest iteration of its front wing, and it enabled Norris and Piastri to squabble over victory, with the former deservedly clinching his first grand prix win as the reigning world champion.
Whether or not the team can confirm that step forward remains to be seen, but it certainly headed into the summer break with a more positive outlook for the rest of the year.
Andrea Stella, team principal: "The improvement can be entirely ascribed to the upgrades that we took [to Hungary]. Honestly, I still believe that if we want to be in a position to fight for victories consistently in the future, we need to keep our focus on delivering more upgrades. That is the plan, but we are not naive. We know that this will be the plan for all the teams. It's a matter of a race of upgrades.
"The good news is that McLaren is now back in this race of upgrades while fighting for the lead. But I expect that the car that will be the best car at the end of the season will keep adding tenths of a second in the next 11 races, probably as much as half a second. So, definitely a lot of work ahead of everyone, not only McLaren."
