阿塞拜疆大奖赛五大要点：拉塞尔抓住机会缩小差距
拉塞尔在巴库夺冠，但文章指出这并未显著提升他争夺总冠军的可能性，因为本赛季并无真正的冠军之争。
拉塞尔抓住机会，在队友犯下本赛季首次重大错误的这个周末，于巴库拿下了一场令人信服的胜利。
安德烈亚·基米·安东内利（梅赛德斯）、加布里埃尔·博托莱托（奥迪F1车队）、卡洛斯·塞恩斯（威廉姆斯）。
拉塞尔抓住机会缩小差距。
好吧，我们不要夸大任何事。现在并不存在真正意义上的总冠军争夺——而且拉塞尔在巴库的胜利也并没有显著提升他的夺冠几率。大概是从百分之一升到了百分之二左右——但很难再高了。
然而，必须得说一句：干得好。考虑到梅赛德斯对手车队的优势，过于兴奋仍然有些过头——而且在周五的新闻发布会上听到有人问拉塞尔，他的总冠军反击是否可以现在就开始，确实有点奇怪。
但这也许是拉塞尔今年除澳大利亚之外最有说服力的一个周末——尽管由于自己在第一节排位赛中的失误，安东内利其实没什么机会展示他能做什么。
拉塞尔做了他必须做的事。他以巨大优势拿下杆位，并将其转化为胜利，还充分利用了平时无可挑剔的队友罕见的一个糟糕的日子。
这能证明拉塞尔今年仍然能赢得总冠军吗？也许不能。但作为一次及时的提醒——他并不慢，也不应该被完全否定？这是肯定的。
哈贾尔证明了红牛为什么选他作为维斯塔潘的长期队友
伊萨克·哈贾尔因手腕受伤缺阵期间，他在红牛的位置从未受到质疑，但当这位法国车手在重返一级方程式（F1）前夜获得续约合同时，确实让一些人感到意外。这份信任究竟从何而来？
回看比赛录像。哈贾尔完全做到了红牛雇他来做的事情；他排位赛表现出色拿下第四名，在马克斯·维斯塔潘遭遇机械故障之后处于激烈争夺的中心，而哈贾尔随后在正赛中以团队利益为重展现了配合精神。
在比赛早期把一个有希望的位置让给队友之后，哈贾尔扮演了副手角色——甚至催促维斯塔潘抓紧时间——这种情形自塞尔吉奥·佩雷斯早年在红牛的年代以来就从未出现过。
在两次安全车重启中从容应对，并迫使奥斯卡·皮亚斯特里犯错，哈贾尔跟在维斯塔潘之后登上领奖台，完成了一场非常令人印象深刻的翻身之战，也证明了他为什么配得上红牛车手的身份。
威廉姆斯的B版赛车华而不实
威廉姆斯对期待已久的FW48 B版赛车在巴库投入了大量心血，这款赛车配备了全新、更轻的车架和重新设计的底板。赛前，车队刻意压低期望，将这次升级视为通向2027年更好成绩的垫脚石，而非革命性的飞跃。
阿塞拜疆的比赛周末印证了这一点，不过威廉姆斯重新回到中游集团的争夺中，让卡洛斯·塞恩斯得以晋级第三节排位赛，这仍然令人振奋。但考虑到这条高速街道赛道看似正好发挥这支梅赛德斯动力车队的天生优势，周六却仍然远离积分区，感觉像是错失了良机。人们不禁要问，马来西亚和新加坡那些需要更高下压力的赛道，对FW48是否还会如此有利。目前尚无定论。
阿尔派的自摆乌龙：科拉平托犯下2026年的首个重大错误
阿尔派原本有望连续第三个比赛周末拿到“其他车队中最佳”的好成绩，两名车手都处于得分轨道上。但巴库再一次证明了F1中局势可以变化得多么迅速。
弗朗科·科拉平托，阿尔派；尼克·霍肯伯格，奥迪F1车队
在亚历克斯·阿尔本撞车触发安全车后，比赛重新开始时，弗朗科·科拉平托以过快的速度冲进1号弯，撞上了队友皮埃尔·加斯利，后者又与兰多·诺里斯的迈凯伦发生了接触。
这位阿根廷车手很快就向加斯利和整个阿尔派车队道歉，因为这显然是一个代价高昂的错误，而且发生在这个车队正与小红牛激烈争夺车队年度第五名的关键时刻。
在上站马德里比赛结束时加斯利与科拉平托之间的紧张关系，以及随后这位法国车手在网上遭受的攻击之后，阿尔派车队如何处理这一情况——无论对内还是对外——都值得关注。
塞尔吉奥·佩雷斯在周四第二节练习赛中取得了了不起的第13名，单圈比他经验同样丰富的队友瓦尔特利·博塔斯快了整整一秒。这位芬兰车手在排位赛用上了新的底板和减震器，他形容这些改进带来了脱胎换骨的变化，但在正赛中，佩雷斯以每圈一到两秒的速度轻松把他甩开。
佩雷斯在街道赛道上有着非凡的能力，干净而精准，完全能够控制后轴进入侧滑而不至于撞上护墙。他早已驯服了自己F1职业生涯早期那种难以驾驭的驾驶风格；如今他已是典型的“轮胎低语者”。
本文作者收到一份意想不到的邀请，可以在凯迪拉克的车库里观看第二次自由练习，自然就站到了佩雷兹那一侧。他在这里的驾驶甚至对车队都有指导意义；有一次，比赛工程师卡洛·帕塞蒂询问他为什么在1号弯的刹车方式看起来不寻常。
“巴库风格，”佩雷兹回答道，给自己的箱子里留了几手。
正赛中，他在开局阶段紧紧咬住奥迪赛车，与队友拉开了超过20秒的差距。安全车引发的混乱一度让他有机会从更快的赛车手中抢到第13名，但随后加布里埃尔·博托莱托和奥斯卡·皮亚斯特里相继超过了他。
第15名对于又一次出色的表现来说是微薄的回报，而且很多车迷可能根本没有注意到，因为大家的注意力都集中在乔治·拉塞尔与马克斯·维斯塔潘在前方的争夺上。但在那位芬兰车手最后一圈撞车之前，他与博塔斯之间的巨大差距，想必会让凯迪拉克的维修墙上的工作人员大吃一惊……

George Russell used his chance to take a convincing win in Baku on a weekend when his team-mate made his first big mistake of the year

Russell uses his chance to close the gap
Well, let’s not overstate anything. There’s no championship battle as such - and George Russell’s Baku win didn’t really increase his chances dramatically. From one percent to about two, probably - but hardly more.
Yet, one must say: well done. Given the advantage Mercedes had over the opposition, it would still be over the top to get too excited - and it was definitely a bit weird to hear Russell being asked during Friday’s press conference whether his championship comeback could start now.
But it was perhaps Russell’s most convincing weekend of the year, bar Australia - even if Kimi Antonelli didn’t really have a chance to show what he could do thanks to his own mistake in Q1.
Russell did what he had to do. He put the car on pole with a huge advantage, converted it into victory and took full advantage of a rare bad day for his usually flawless team-mate.
Does that prove Russell can still win the title this year? Perhaps not. But as a timely reminder that he’s not slow and doesn’t deserve to be written off completely? For sure.
Hadjar proves why Red Bull picked him as Verstappen’s long-term team-mate
Isack Hadjar’s place at Red Bull was never in doubt while he was out with a wrist injury, but when the French driver was given a contract extension on the eve of his F1 return it did raise a few eyebrows. Where was this vote of confidence coming from?
Roll the tape. Hadjar did exactly what Red Bull as employed him to do; he qualified an impressive fourth to be in the thick of the action after Max Verstappen endured his mechanical hiccups and Hadjar followed it up with playing the team game in the race.
Having relinquished a promising position early in the race to his team-mate, Hadjar acted as wingman – and even asking Verstappen to hurry up – which is something that hasn’t happened since Sergio Perez's early Red Bull years.
Navigating two safety car restarts, and forcing Oscar Piastri into a mistake, saw Hadjar follow Verstappen on to the podium to complete a very impressive comeback race and demonstrate why he is a Red Bull driver.
Williams flatters to deceive with B-spec
Williams put a lot of stock in its long-awaited FW48 B-spec in Baku, which featured an all-new, lighter chassis and a redesigned floor. Ahead of the event, the team played down expectations, seeing the update as a stepping stone to better things in 2027 rather than a revolutionary leap.
The Azerbaijan weekend confirmed as much, though it was reinvigorating for Williams to be in the mix again in the midfield, allowing Carlos Sainz to advance to Q3. But with the high-speed street circuit appearing to play to the Mercedes-powered team's natural strengths, to still be far away from points on Saturday feels like a missed opportunity. One wonders if the higher downforce loops of Malaysia and Singapore will be as kind to the FW48. The jury is still out.
Alpine's own goal as Colapinto makes his first major mistake of 2026
Alpine looked set to secure another strong result as the best of the rest for the third consecutive race weekend, with both drivers on course to score points. But Baku once again showed how quickly things can change in Formula 1.
Franco Colapinto, Alpine, Nico Hulkenberg, Audi F1 Team
Franco Colapinto arrived too fast into Turn 1 at the restart following the Safety Car period triggered by Alex Albon's crash, hitting his team-mate Pierre Gasly, who in turn made contact with Lando Norris's McLaren.
The Argentine was quick to apologise to Gasly and the entire Alpine team for what was a clear and costly mistake, coming at a time when the team is locked in a tight battle with Racing Bulls for fifth place in the constructors' championship.
After the tension between Gasly and Colapinto at the end of the previous race in Madrid, followed by the online abuse directed at the Frenchman, Alpine's handling of the situation - both internally and publicly - will be worth watching.
Sergio Perez was a remarkable P13 in Thursday’s second practice session, and a second a lap quicker than his similarly experienced team-mate Valtteri Bottas. The Finn had a new floor and dampers for qualifying, which he described as transformative, but in the race Perez simply drove away from him at between one and two seconds a lap.
Perez has an uncanny ability on street tracks, neat and precise, well capable of manipulating the rear axle into a slide without bringing it into the wall. He’s long since tamed the unruliness of style which characterised his early season in F1; now he’s the archetypal ‘tyre whisperer’.
This writer received an unexpected invitation to watch FP2 from the Cadillac garage, and naturally took up position on Perez’s side. His driving here was even instructive for the team; at one point race engineer Carlo Pasetti queried what he thought was an unusual brake shape into Turn 1.
“Baku style,” replied Perez, keeping a few secrets in his box.
In the race he shadowed the Audis early on, opening up a gap of over 20s to his team-mate. The Safety Car chaos briefly afforded him a chance to snatch P13 from faster cars before Gabriel Bortoleto and Oscar Piastri came past.
P15 was scant reward for another classy display, and it likely went unnoticed by many fans since attention was focused on the battle up front between George Russell and Max Verstappen. But the massive gap to Bottas before the Finn's final-lap crash will have raised eyebrows on the Cadillac pitwall…
