拉塞尔称“更放松”，安东内利领跑2026年F1冠军之争
乔治·拉塞尔在2026年F1夏季休赛期后回归，表示自己“更放松”，并力图缩小与梅赛德斯队友基米·安东内利的积分差距，目前安东内利领先第三名的拉塞尔56分。
乔治·拉塞尔表示“更加放松”，因为2026年F1世界冠军的头衔现在掌握在基米·安东内利手中，看他是否会丢掉
这位梅赛德斯车手在2026年F1赛季下半程开局强劲，他赢得了荷兰大奖赛冲刺赛，并将在周日的正赛中从第二位发车
乔治·拉塞尔在2026年F1夏休期归来后感到“更加放松”，他正试图在这场与梅赛德斯队友基米·安东内利的车手总冠军争夺战中迎头赶上
这位积分榜领跑者在11轮比赛后领先排名第三的拉塞尔56分，还剩12轮比赛，法拉利的刘易斯·汉密尔顿位列第二，落后安东内利53分
本周末的荷兰大奖赛给了拉塞尔一个晚期反击的机会，他到目前为止表现出色，从杆位出发赢得了冲刺赛，而安东内利只拿到第四名。
拉塞尔的优势延续到了周六的排位赛，他在迈凯伦杆位得主兰多·诺里斯之后拿到第二，而沮丧的安东内利因为在1号弯的失误将从第三位发车。
“我只会一场比赛一场比赛地来看，”拉塞尔在赞德沃特说，“我不会离开这个周末就说所有问题都解决了。
“我确实认为在巴塞罗那那个周末之前我做了一些重大改变，正如我今天早上早些时候所说，我有几场不错的比赛，巴塞罗那和奥地利。然后银石和斯帕，我们遇到了动力单元（PU）的问题，布达佩斯则完全不是我这边有竞争力的一个周末。

“所以，我觉得这个赛季一直都不算顺利。由于我们遇到的种种问题，这个赛季无论如何都不算顺利。但我只是觉得，在休赛期之后，我整个人轻松多了。我觉得自己已经没有什么可失去的了。
“压力没有了。我只是要出去，享受比赛，我甚至不太觉得自己是在争斗。这不是我会输掉的东西，而是我要去赢得的东西。所以这就是我的心态，我觉得这会帮助我。我只是在享受驾驶。”
这个赛季显然没有像拉塞尔所期望的那样发展，在2026年规则改革开始时，由于他的梅赛德斯车队预期会占据统治地位，他原本是夺冠的大热门。
但他的队友、二年级车手安东内利凭借惊人的单圈速度占据了上风，已经拿下六个杆位，而两位车手在正赛中都不时遭遇霉运。
拉塞尔此前还表示，这些全新的2026年赛车很适合安东内利激进的驾驶风格，因此这位28岁的车手花了大半个赛季来调整自己更为流畅平稳的驾驶方式。
这就是为什么八月的夏休期对这位英国车手来说来得正是时候，他利用这段时间持续不断 地提升自己——尤其是在他认为冠军争夺战“远未结束”的情况下。

拉塞尔补充道：“很明显，基米这个赛季做得非常出色，而我们两个人的驾驶风格确实相当不同。”
“这一点去年就很明显，而现在这套车和这套轮胎非常适合他，我只是在尝试把类似的东西融入我的驾驶风格。”
“我把它形容为：如果你改变自己的高尔夫挥杆动作，在取得进步之前，你可能会先后退半步。”
“这个休赛期正好让我把这些心得放到脑海深处，来到这个周末，不用时刻盯着我想在车和轮胎上实现什么，而是心里清楚自己需要做到什么，然后更自由地去驾驶。”
“我真的、真的为此感到骄傲，因为这就像是在为我积累一个经验工具箱，它会让我在未来的几年里变得更加强大。
“谁知道呢，也许明年技术又会完全不同。这就是一级方程式的美妙之处和挑战所在。每一年都不一样。”

George Russell "more relaxed" as F1 2026 title is Kimi Antonelli's to lose
The Mercedes driver has made a strong start to the second half of the 2026 F1 campaign, as he won the Dutch GP sprint and will start Sunday's race in second
George Russell has returned from the 2026 Formula 1 summer break feeling “more relaxed” as he attempts to claw back into the title fight against Mercedes team-mate Kimi Antonelli.
The championship leader holds a 56-point advantage over third-placed Russell, with Ferrari’s Lewis Hamilton sitting second and 53 behind Antonelli after 11 rounds with 12 remaining.
This weekend’s Dutch Grand Prix marks an opportunity for Russell to stage a late bid and he has done well so far, winning the sprint race from pole while Antonelli only took fourth.
Russell’s advantage continued into Saturday’s qualifying as he took second behind McLaren polesitter Lando Norris, while a frustrated Antonelli is starting third after a mistake at Turn 1.
“I’m just going to take it race by race,” said Russell at Zandvoort. “I’m not going to come away from this weekend and say all issues are resolved.
“I do think I made some big changes going into the Barcelona weekend, and as I said earlier this morning, I had some good races, Barcelona and Austria. Then Silverstone and Spa, we had the PU issue, and Budapest was just not a competitive weekend on my side.

“So, I think it just hasn’t been a clean run this season. It has not been a clean season whatsoever with all of the issues that we’ve had. But I just feel, I think after the break, I just feel way more relaxed. I don’t feel like I’ve got anything to lose.
“The pressure’s off. I’m just going to go out, enjoy it, and I don’t even really feel in a fight. It’s not mine to lose, it’s mine to gain. So that’s the mentality I’ve got, and I feel it’s going to help me. I’m just enjoying driving.”
This season has obviously not gone as hoped for Russell, who started the 2026 regulation switch as the heavy title favourite thanks to his Mercedes team expecting to dominate.
But his sophomore team-mate has enjoyed the upper hand thanks to his blistering one-lap pace with six poles, while misfortune has hit both drivers at times during a grand prix.
Russell also previously claimed that these new 2026 cars suit Antonelli’s aggressive driving style, so the 28-year-old has spent much of the year adapting his more smooth approach.
That is why the August summer break came at a good time for the Briton, who used it to continually keep developing - especially when he thinks the title fight is “far from over”.

“Obviously Kimi’s been doing an amazing job this season, and clearly the two of us have quite different driving styles,” added Russell.
“That was apparent last year, and it is really working well for him with this car and these tyres and just trying to implement something similar into my driving style.
“I describe it as if you change your golf swing, you’ll probably take half a step back before making those improvements.
“The break just allowed me to put those learnings into the back of my mind, come here this weekend, not fixating on what I want to try and achieve with the car and the tyres, but knowing in the back of my head what I need to achieve and just drive more freely.
“I’m really, really proud of that because it’s just sort of building that toolbox of experience for me that’s going to allow me to be even better in the years to come.
“Who knows, maybe next year the technique is totally different again. That’s the beauty and challenge of Formula 1. Every year it’s different.”
