前F1车手:拉塞尔在梅赛德斯压力下“仍未达标”
前F1车手、F1 TV分析师乔利恩·帕尔默认为,荷兰大奖赛后乔治·拉塞尔在梅赛德斯感受到压力,与队友基米·安东内利相比“仍未达标”。梅赛德斯在赞德沃特收获双领奖台,但比赛末段让拉塞尔给安东内利让位的车队指令引发热议。
前F1车手表示,荷兰大奖赛之后梅赛德斯压力增大,乔治·拉塞尔“仍未达到要求”
乔利昂·帕默认为乔治·拉塞尔在梅赛德斯仍然面临压力
前F1车手兼F1 TV分析师乔利昂·帕默认为,乔治·拉塞尔在梅赛德斯内部正感受到压力,并声称在荷兰大奖赛之后,这位英国车手与队友基米·安东内利相比“仍未达到要求”。
梅赛德斯在赞德沃特包揽了双领奖台,获得第二和第三名,仅次于迈凯伦的兰多·诺里斯。但比赛末段车队指令要求拉塞尔将赛道位置让给安东内利,这已成为赛后热议的话题。
这位意大利车手此前一直跑在拉塞尔前面,之后梅赛德斯选择让他进站换胎。当安东内利换上新轮胎回到赛道时,车队指挥墙下达了交换位置的指令。当时,拉塞尔通过车队电台争辩说,这一举动有可能让车队失去双领奖台,但他在赛后确认这是一个正确的决定。
"我能理解梅赛德斯的逻辑。我想乔治可能也会明白的," 帕尔默对F1 TV说。"他会有点恼火。他今天过得很艰难。起步显然非常非常困难。第二次起步时落到了奥斯卡身后,这让他与前两名的差距拉开了。"
"但他今天到最后其实并没有节奏。我很高兴他这个周末表现更好了,但他仍然不够格。"
"如果我们谈论本赛季最佳车手,我是说,基米再一次执行得非常出色。今天差一点就赢了,但每个周末他同样令人惊叹。所以,压力在乔治身上。我认为等尘埃落定后,他会说,'实际上,无论出于什么原因,我今天都没有完全达到状态,尤其是起步,我还有一点工作要做。'"
拉塞尔获得第三名,这意味着他目前在车手积分榜上排名第二,领先于刘易斯·汉密尔顿,尽管两人积分相同,均为183分。安东内利继续领跑总冠军争夺,以242分拥有59分的领先优势。

George Russell "still not there" as Mercedes pressure builds after Dutch GP, says former F1 driver
Jolyon Palmer believes George Russell remains under pressure at Mercedes
Former Formula 1 driver and F1 TV analyst Jolyon Palmer believes George Russell is feeling the heat within Mercedes, claiming that the Briton is "still not there" compared to team-mate Kimi Antonelli following the Dutch Grand Prix.
Mercedes secured a double podium at Zandvoort, finishing second and third behind McLaren's Lando Norris. But the late team order instructing Russell to yield track position to Antonelli has become a popular talking point after the race.
The Italian had been running ahead of Russell before Mercedes opted to bring him in for a pitstop. When Antonelli returned to the track on fresh tyres, the pitwall ordered a position swap. At the time, Russell argued over team radio that the move risked losing a double podium for the team, but he later confirmed it was the right decision after the race.
"I can see the logic of Mercedes. I think George will probably see it," Palmer told F1 TV. "He's going to be a bit annoyed. He's had a tough day. The starts were obviously really, really difficult. Dropped behind Oscar at the second getaway, and that put the distance between him and the top two.
"But he didn't really have the pace today in the end. I'm happy he's had a better weekend, but he's still not there.
"If we're talking about drivers of the season, I mean, Kimi once again has just executed really well. Not quite a win today, but every weekend he's also amazing. So, the pressure is on George. And I think when the dust settles, he'll say, 'Actually, I wasn't quite there today for whatever reason, particularly the starts, and I still have a bit of work to do.'"
Russell's third-place finish means he now sits second in the drivers' standings, ahead of Lewis Hamilton, although they are level on points with 183 each. Antonelli continues to lead the championship and has a 59-point lead with 242 points.
