凯迪拉克西班牙正赛速度是否快过威廉姆斯？
凯迪拉克在西班牙大奖赛正赛速度令人鼓舞，佩雷斯退赛前与阿尔本节奏相当，但博塔斯对赛车可靠性和性能仍感担忧。
凯迪拉克在西班牙大奖赛正赛速度是否快过威廉姆斯？
西班牙大奖赛后，兴奋的塞尔吉奥·佩雷斯和沮丧的瓦尔特利·博塔斯让凯迪拉克内部情绪复杂——但仍有乐观的理由。
凯迪拉克在F1首个赛季至今仍是垫底车队，赛季初曾与阿斯顿·马丁缠斗，但后者随后取得进步。
然而，凯迪拉克在西班牙大奖赛的正赛速度令人鼓舞，尽管积分依然难以获得。
塞尔吉奥·佩雷斯在第17位时遭遇无法修复的水泄漏而退赛，但他对自己的表现感到兴奋，并承认在新马德里赛道这“有点赛道特定”。
“我一直与[亚历山大]阿尔本保持几乎相同的节奏，”佩雷斯评论道。“在出现问题之前，我都在一两秒之内。所以从速度角度看，这对车队来说是一个非常强劲的周末。我们推动了一切，刹车已到极限，但我们推到了极限，我对此感到高兴。”
佩雷斯利用活跃的起步从第18位升至第16位，超过角田裕毅和卡洛斯·塞恩斯，但最让他印象深刻的是与阿尔本相比的速度，他一直在追赶阿尔本。

“这是本周末最积极的事情：我们从第一圈到结束一直与他们在一起，”墨西哥人补充道。“我认为我们在第二段实际上比阿尔本更快，所以非常高兴。我们只需要保持这种势头，确保可靠性，但作为一支车队，我很自豪我们把一切推到了极限。”
阿尔本和佩雷斯采用相同策略，这使得比较更容易——两人都从中性胎起步，并在虚拟安全车期间换上硬胎。
在第一段，佩雷斯每圈慢0.403秒，但换上硬胎后，凯迪拉克车手每圈快0.351秒——直到他开始因技术问题和蓝旗而损失时间。
样本相当小——第一段有11个代表性圈速，第二段有8个——但数据清晰且一致。
然而，队友瓦尔特利·博塔斯在马德里的下午一直在队尾度过，远没有那么热情，尤其是凯迪拉克的可靠性问题依然存在。车队在2026年至今已遭遇11次退赛/未发车——明显少于阿斯顿·马丁的15次，但远多于名单上下一支车队威廉姆斯的7次。
“我们知道我们需要改进，”芬兰人紧张地笑了笑。“赛车仍然不够稳健，我们需要让它快得多。今天的退化凸显了我们有多欠缺，这比对手严重得多。”
“最终，我们缺乏很多速度。我们知道这将是一场艰难的比赛，但可能比我想象的还要艰难。我们整场比赛也不得不管理刹车温度，所以一直有很多抬油门滑行。但我们完成了比赛，这是积极的。”
当被问及佩雷斯对挑战阿尔本速度的满意时，博塔斯有所保留：“一开始我们可以在那里，我们看到了，但随着比赛进行，退化变得更糟。”
“但实际上对于下一场比赛，我更有希望我们能在那里。巴库，唯一的高速弯是全油门；否则都是低速或中速弯。”
因此，凯迪拉克将力争在阿塞拜疆改善其迄今为止的最佳成绩——大奖赛排位赛第18名，正赛第14名——在那里，MAC-26缺乏下压力的弱点应该不会那么代价高昂。

Was Cadillac “faster” than Williams in Madring F1 race?
An elated Sergio Perez and a frustrated Valtteri Bottas made for mixed feelings at Cadillac after the Spanish GP – but there was cause for optimism
Cadillac has been a backmarker in Formula 1 so far in the team’s maiden season, battling Aston Martin early on before the latter’s progress.
However, the team’s race pace was encouraging in the Spanish Grand Prix, even though points remain elusive.
Sergio Perez was running 17th when he suffered a terminal water leak but was thrilled with his performance, which he admitted was “a bit track-specific” at the new Madring.
“I was pretty much the same pace as [Alexander] Albon all the way through,” Perez commented. “I was within a second or two until we had the issue. So a really strong weekend for the team in terms of pace. We pushed everything, we were on the limit with the brakes, but we pushed to the very limit, and [I’m] happy with that.”
Perez made the most of a lively start to jump from 18th to 16th ahead of Yuki Tsunoda and Carlos Sainz, but what struck him the most was his pace relative to Albon, whom he was shadowing.

“That's the most positive thing of the weekend: we were with them since lap one all the way through the end,” the Mexican added. “We were actually, I think, faster than Albon on the second stint, so really happy with that. And we just have to keep this momentum going and make sure that we get the reliability, but as a team I'm proud that we pushed everything to the limit.”
Albon and Perez were on the same strategy, which makes the comparison easier – both of them started on the medium compound and switched to hards during the virtual safety car.
In their first stint, Perez was 0.403s slower per lap, but once they moved to the harder compound, the Cadillac driver became 0.351s quicker – until he started losing time to both his technical issue and blue flags.
The samples are rather small – 11 representative laps in the first stint, eight in the second – but the data is clear and consistent.
Team-mate Valtteri Bottas, however, spent his Madrid afternoon at the back of the pack and was far less enthused, especially with reliability still a problem at Cadillac. The team has suffered 11 retirements/non-starts so far in 2026 – noticeably fewer than Aston Martin’s 15 but many more than the next squad on this list, Williams (seven).
“We know we need to improve,” the Finn nervously chuckled. “The car is still not robust enough, and we need to make it a lot faster. And the deg today highlights how much we're lacking, it's like way more than the competition.
“In the end, we were lacking a lot of pace. We knew it was going to be a tough race, but it was maybe even tougher than I thought. We also did have to manage all through the race the brake temps, so quite a bit of lift-and-coast all the way. But we finished, that's a positive.”
When Perez’s satisfaction with challenging Albon pace-wise was brought up, Bottas nuanced: “In the beginning we can be there, we've seen, but as the race progresses, the deg gets worse.
“But actually for the next event, I'm more hopeful that we can be there. Baku, the only high-speed corners, they are flat out; otherwise it's slow- or medium-speed.”
Cadillac will therefore aim to improve on its best results so far – 18th in grand prix qualifying, 14th on Sundays – in Azerbaijan, where the MAC-26’s lack of downforce shouldn’t be as costly.
