“要么非常正确，要么非常错误”——勒克莱尔解释法拉利在荷兰大奖赛冲刺赛的大胆选择
夏尔·勒克莱尔在赞德沃特冲刺赛中第18圈成功超越兰多·诺里斯升至第二并完赛，他将这次超车主要归因于能量部署的差异。
"要么非常正确，要么大错特错"——夏尔·勒克莱尔解释法拉利为荷兰大奖赛冲刺赛做出的大胆选择
勒克莱尔承认，在选择软胎后，他在发车区时曾感到担忧，但他强调法拉利的正赛节奏总体上很强。他表示排位赛是一个"弱点"，而在赞德沃特无法弥补
尽管在赞德沃特举行的F1冲刺赛几乎没有太多精彩场面，但夏尔·勒克莱尔完成了为数不多的几次超车之一。这位摩纳哥车手成功超越兰多·诺里斯升至第二位，并最终以这个名次完赛
据勒克莱尔所说，那次超车主要是由于能量输出管理的差异造成的，不过考虑到他的轮胎选择，他能在24圈中的第18圈完成超越仍然相当了不起
毕竟，勒克莱尔是仅有的两名选择用软胎起步、来跑这个周末最短的一场比赛的车手之一。这一选择基于练习赛的数据，以及法拉利本周末在轮胎衰退方面总体表现不错的事实——至少在勒克莱尔这一边是如此。
不过，勒克莱尔承认，当他在发车区看到周围所有车手都排着队使用中性胎时，他多少有些担心。
"每当你成了唯一做某件事的人，结果要么非常正确，要么大错特错，"勒克莱尔微笑着说。
"我认为最终这是个好的选择，所以这是积极的。这说明我们在第一次自由练习中把功课做扎实了，但说实话，站在发车区的时候，我只是希望自己做出了正确的选择。"
勒克莱尔在冲刺赛末段依然保持良好的比赛节奏，这让其他车队感到惊讶。
这个决定是与车队共同做出的，尽管勒克莱尔强调这并不是一个容易的决定。
“嗯，这不是因为我和刘易斯（汉密尔顿）采用了两种不同的策略，所以这肯定不是显而易见的选择。”
“不过，我认为这是一条不错的轮胎，尽管我在第一次自由练习（FP1）只跑了几圈，对中性胎并不太适应。所以，是的，我对这个选择很满意。”
倍耐力在周五就已经表示，C3和C4在耐久性方面相当接近，只有本周末可用的最硬配方C2是一个明显的台阶。
为什么勒克莱尔认为排位赛是法拉利在赞德沃特无法解决的弱点
除了轮胎选择之外，冲刺赛主要印证了勒克莱尔周五就已经有的想法：法拉利的正赛节奏不错，但排位赛被证明更加困难。
“我认为我们昨天在第一节自由练习中的节奏相当强劲，当时我们用中性胎做了长距离测试，所以我们知道我们有一辆很好的正赛车。”
"不过，在排位赛中我们还是稍有欠缺。我原本以为凭借这套软胎，我会在发车时超车而不是在比赛末段，但总的来说，这是一场相当不错的比赛。"
勒克莱尔在周五以第三快的时间给人留下深刻印象，但他仍然认为排位赛是法拉利的弱点之一。
随着能量部署策略日趋趋同，勒克莱尔认为在赞德沃特超车几乎是不可能的事。这使得排位赛的名次变得至关重要，也引出了一个问题：法拉利是否会牺牲一些比赛节奏来换取单圈速度的提升。
当被Motorsport.com问及此事时，勒克莱尔说："我想我们经常谈论如何让赛车在正赛或排位赛中更快，但我认为事情并没有那么非黑即白。"
"我认为你总是要尽力让赛车尽可能快，如果你做到了这一点，那么无论是对排位赛还是正赛都是有利的。然后还有一些细微的调校工作可以做，但我不会说这是决定性的改变，事情并不总是非黑即白的。"
"所以，回答你的问题，我认为目前我们没有办法解决这个问题、让赛车在排位赛中表现更好。我们知道这是一个弱点，但我们还没有找到解决方案。"
尽管勒克莱尔承认排位赛是法拉利的一个弱点，但他仍然成功地为冲刺赛拿到了发车位的第三名，仅落后杆位获得者拉塞尔0.055秒。
不过他强调，能否重演这一成绩远没有保证，因为勒克莱尔在冲刺排位赛第三节（SQ3）的那一圈跑得特别出色。
“我觉得昨天我跑了一个非常不错的单圈，赛车的状态也非常好。所以如果明天我们从杆位发车，我会感到惊讶，但我会竭尽全力让这件事成真。”

"Either very right or very wrong" – Charles Leclerc explains Ferrari's bold choice for Dutch GP sprint
Leclerc admits he was concerned on the grid after opting for soft tyres, but stresses Ferrari’s race pace is generally strong. He describes qualifying as a "weakness" that cannot be fixed at Zandvoort
Although the Formula 1 sprint race at Zandvoort produced very little action, Charles Leclerc was responsible for one of the few overtakes. The Monegasque managed to pass Lando Norris for second place, where he eventually finished.
According to Leclerc, that overtake primarily came about because of differences in deployment, although given Leclerc’s tyre choice, it was still remarkable that he was able to complete a pass on lap 18 of 24.
After all, Leclerc was one of only two drivers who opted to start the shortest race of the weekend on soft tyres. That choice was based on data from practice and the fact that Ferrari generally looks good in terms of tyre degradation this weekend, at least on Leclerc’s side.
Nevertheless, Leclerc admitted he was somewhat concerned on the grid when he saw all the drivers around him lining up on mediums.
"Always when you are the only one doing something, it’s either very right or very wrong," Leclerc smiled.
"I think it was a good choice in the end, so that’s positive. It means that we did our homework well in FP1, but surely when I was on the grid, I just hoped to have made the right choice."
Leclerc surprised the other teams by maintaining a good race pace even at the end of the sprint race
The decision was made together with the team, although Leclerc stresses that it was not an easy one.
"Well, it wasn't because we had Lewis [Hamilton] and I on two different strategies. So surely it wasn't obvious.
"But I thought that it was a good tyre after FP1, even though I had done very few laps and I wasn't so comfortable with the medium. So yeah, I was happy with that choice."
Pirelli already indicated on Friday that the C3 and C4 are fairly close in terms of durability, with only the hardest compound available this weekend, the C2, representing a significant step.
Why Leclerc feels qualifying is a weakness Ferrari can’t fix in Zandvoort
Aside from the tyre choice, the sprint primarily underlined what Leclerc already thought on Friday: Ferrari’s race pace is good, but qualifying is proving more difficult.
"I think our pace had been quite strong yesterday in FP1 on the long runs, which we did on the medium, so we knew we had a good race car.
"However, in qualifying we are lacking a little bit. I was expecting to make positions at the start rather than at the end of the race with these soft tyres, but yeah, it was quite a good race."
Leclerc impressed on Friday with the third-fastest time, but still believes qualifying is one of Ferrari’s weaknesses
As the deployment strategies converge, Leclerc believes overtaking will be virtually impossible at Zandvoort. That makes qualifying position crucial and raises the question of whether Ferrari could sacrifice some race pace in order to improve its speed over a single lap.
"I think we often speak about how to make a car faster for a race or qualifying, but I don't think it's that black and white," Leclerc said when asked by Motorsport.com.
"I think you always try to make the car as fast as possible, and if you do that, then that's positive for qualifying and the race. Then there are slight finetuning things that you can do, but I wouldn't say it's a game changer, it's not always black and white.
"So, to reply to your question, I don't think there's anything we can do at the moment to fix it and have a better car in qualifying. We know it is a weakness, but we just didn't find the solution just yet."
Despite Leclerc describing qualifying as a weakness for Ferrari, he still managed to secure third on the grid for the sprint, just 0.055 seconds behind polesitter George Russell.
However, a repeat is far from guaranteed, he stresses, as Leclerc’s SQ3 lap was particularly strong.
"I think yesterday I did a really good lap and the car felt really good as well. So I'll be surprised if we start from pole tomorrow, but I'll do everything in my power to make it happen."
