诺里斯：迈凯伦赛车低速弯表现糟糕
兰多·诺里斯表示，迈凯伦赛车在低速弯道中的表现“糟糕”，并怀疑车队目前能否改善这一弱点。
兰多·诺里斯表示，迈凯伦在赞德沃特的表现凸显了赛车在低速弯道中的弱点。
这位卫冕世界冠军赢得了上一站匈牙利大奖赛，该赛道有几个中低速弯，但他认为赞德沃特更慢的弯道组合对MCL40来说是个问题。
“我们在布达佩斯就知道，我们在高速弯非常出色，在低速弯相当糟糕，但我们还是设法赢了，”他说。“这里有很多非常非常低速的弯，我们的问题暴露得更多。所以这完全不意外。这正是我们预料到的。”
迈凯伦在赞德沃特为赛车带来了进一步升级。诺里斯表示这些升级表现符合预期，但车队在某些赛道上仍与对手有明显差距。
“它们完全按预期工作，所以我很高兴，”他说。“我们仍然取得了进步。
“只是在某些区域我们远远不够快。低速弯，我们整个周末都在挣扎，这显然是目前赛车的弱点。我觉得如果现在回到摩纳哥，我们会像之前一样糟糕。
“所以我认为我们显然进步了很多，尤其是在中高速弯，这就是我们在这里很快的原因，也是我们在布达佩斯那么快的原因。并不是我们在布达佩斯每个地方都快，所以才赢了。低速弯，我们仍然比法拉利慢，和梅赛德斯差不多。
“所以我们仍有弱点，尽管我们赢了一场比赛。只是优势在那里非常突出，而这里低速弯的差距太大了。”
诺里斯在今天的冲刺赛中与乔治·拉塞尔并列头排发车，但最终落后于查尔斯·勒克莱尔获得第三。他怀疑迈凯伦目前无法对赛车低速弯的糟糕表现做出任何重大改变。
“我们现在对此无能为力。赛车暂时就是这样。
“这是我们作为团队仍需专注的地方。我们会努力榨取一切。我觉得我今天做得不错，即使是P3。
“我只是想争夺头名，向前冲，追上乔治并给他施加压力，而不是在每个低速弯中求生存、拼命挣扎。
“所以我对团队和我们取得的进步非常满意，升级都起作用了，它们让我今天拿到P3。但如果我们想争夺冠军，我们还需要更多。”

McLaren’s performance in Zandvoort highlights their car’s weakness in slow corners, says Lando Norris.
The reigning world champion won the previous round at the Hungaroring, a circuit which has several low-to-medium-speed corners, but he believes the slower mix of corners at Zandvoort is a problem for the MCL40.
“We knew in Budapest we’re very good in high-speed corners and we’re pretty terrible in slow speed, but we still managed to win,” he said. “Here there’s a lot more of the very, very slow speed and more of our problems show. So [it’s] not a surprise at all. It’s exactly what we expected.”
McLaren have brought further upgrades for their car in Zandvoort. Norris said these have performed as expected but the team still has a significant deficit to its rivals at some circuits.
“They’ve done exactly as they should, so I’m very happy,” he said. “We still managed to progress.
“It’s just [in] certain areas we’re just nowhere near quick enough. The slow speed, we’ve just struggled the whole weekend and seems clearly the weakness we have in the car at the minute. I feel if we still went back to Monaco now, we’re going to be shocking, as we were.
“So I think we’ve clearly progressed a lot, and especially in medium and high-speed, which is why we’re quick here, why we were so quick in Budapest. It wasn’t like we were quick everywhere in Budapest, and that’s why we won. The slow speed, we were still slower than Ferrari and matching Mercedes just about.
“So we still have weaknesses, even though we managed to win one race. It’s just the strengths really shone there, and here it’s just the deficit is too big in the slow speed.”
Norris qualified second on the grid for today’s sprint race alongside George Russell but fell to third behind Charles Leclerc. He doubts McLaren can make any significant changes to the car’s poor performance in low-speed corners for the time being.
“There’s just nothing we can do about it now. It’s just how the car is for the time being.
“That’s where we still have to focus as a team. We’ll try and get everything out of it. I feel like I still did a good job today, even with the P3.
“It’s just [that] I want to be fighting for top spot and be fighting and going forward and catching George and putting him under pressure rather than trying to survive in every slow-speed corner and fighting for my life.
“So I’m very happy with the team and the progress we made, and the upgrades have all worked, and they’ve allowed me to be P3 today. But we just need more if we want to fight for a championship.”
