汉密尔顿在墨西哥站技术问题下仍对法拉利充满信心
汉密尔顿认为法拉利在本周末有“一辆真正优秀的赛车”,因为队友查尔斯·勒克莱尔在周五的两次练习赛中均排名第一。
对于法拉利车迷来说,这是最新的Scuderia 法拉利 F1新闻,包括车手更新、技术分析和来自马拉内洛及更远地方的赛事反应。
汉密尔顿相信法拉利在墨西哥大奖赛上有望争夺杆位,尽管他在第二次练习赛中遇到了技术问题。
英国车手在第二次练习中遇到了问题,这让他失去了使用高燃油进行长时间驾驶的机会,但这位七届一级方程式世界冠军仍然对他的车队在周六的比赛机会感到乐观。
“直到那时感觉都很好。那感觉真的很棒。我们通过调整设置做得很好。赛车处于良好的状态,我们实际上也很强大,”汉密尔顿说。
“但即使在我的圈速中,我们也在几个地方失去了动力,所以我之前已经失去了三分之十。这周末,这款车底子真的很好。”
斯库德里亚车队是本周末比赛的粉丝最爱,由于其较小的涡轮增压器,预计其动力单元能更好地应对高海拔条件。梅赛德斯车队的乔治·拉塞尔周四表示,这可能会给意大利赛车在墨西哥城的稀薄空气中带来‘相当大的优势’。
但是汉密尔顿渴望摆脱这些高期望。
我并不完全同意关于涡轮增压的事情。如果你看看梅赛德斯和红牛的速度,他们在直道末端的速度仍然很快,就像每一场比赛一样。所以涡轮增压并没有带来太大的区别。
它仍然在直道末端有更大的牵引力。所以我认为我们仍然会损失大约两到三分之十,但赛车表现得很不错。
麦克拉伦的奥斯卡·皮亚斯特里也对此理论进行了淡化,表示法拉利在直道上“有点慢”。
尽管存在这样的劣势,汉密尔顿仍然乐观地认为法拉利可以争夺前排位置,尽管他警告说,对手在排位赛中通常会找到额外的速度。
查尔斯在两节练习中都取得了第一的位置,我认为你永远不知道排位赛会怎样。其他人似乎又向前迈进了一步,但老实说,我们可能真的非常接近在排位赛中击败他们了。
由于错过了长距离测试,汉密尔顿承认他必须依赖他人的数据来为周日的比赛设置赛车。
我不知道赛车在长距离测试中的表现如何。我们没有完成这项测试,所以我只能注意别人是如何做的,然后大致猜测我们需要在赛车上进行哪些调整,比如翼片,以及设置和刹车。
梅赛德斯在车队积分榜上领先法拉利133分,本周末有望锁定冠军。

Lewis Hamilton makes confident Ferrari statement despite Mexican GP technical problems
Hamilton believes the team has “a really good car” this weekend after Charles Leclerc topped both Friday practice sessions
For Ferrari fans. The latest Scuderia Ferrari F1 news, driver updates, technical analysis and race reaction from Maranello and beyond.
Lewis Hamilton believes Ferrari could realistically fight for pole position at the Mexican Grand Prix, after team-mate Charles Leclerc finished fastest in both of Friday’s practice sessions.
The Briton had an issue in second practice that cost him the opportunity for a long run with high fuel, but the seven-time Formula 1 world champion still feels optimistic about his team's chances on Saturday.
“It felt really good up until then. That was feeling great. And we did a good job with set-up changes. Car was in a good place and we were just actually strong,” Hamilton said.
“But even on my lap, we were losing power in a few places, so I lost three tenths already before as well. Underlying is a really good car this weekend.”
The Scuderia team is the fans' favourite going into this race weekend, with its power unit expected to cope better with the high-altitude conditions thanks to its smaller turbocharger. Mercedes' George Russell said on Thursday that this could give the Italian cars "quite an advantage" in the thin air of Mexico City.
But Hamilton is keen to rid himself of these high expectations.
“I don’t really agree on the turbo thing. If you look at the speeds to the Mercedes and the Red Bull, they’re still quick at the end of the straights, like they are every race. So the turbo is just not making a difference.
“It’s still pulling more at the end of straights. So I think we’re still losing a good two or three tenths, but the car is behaving very well.”
McLaren’s Oscar Piastri also played down this theory, suggesting the Ferrari had looked “a bit slow on the straights”.
Despite that deficit, Hamilton is optimistic that Ferrari can fight for the front row, although he warned that rivals typically find extra pace in qualifying.
“Charles has been P1 for the two sessions, and I think you never know how qualifying goes. The others seem to take another step, but honestly feels like we could be really close to beating them for Quali.”
Having missed his long run, Hamilton admitted he will have to rely on data from others to set up the car for Sunday’s race.
“I don’t know how the car is for the long run. We didn’t get to do it, so I just have to take note of how others did and kind of guess where we need to be with the car, wing for example, and settings and the braking.”
Mercedes leads Ferrari by 133 points in the constructors’ championship and can clinch the title this weekend.
