斯特罗尔评本田F1引擎升级："远远不够"
在荷兰大奖赛冲刺赛排位赛中，阿斯顿·马丁两车止步Q1，兰斯·斯特罗尔认为本田升级版引擎的进步"远远不够"。
兰斯·斯特罗尔认为，在本田升级后的F1引擎上，阿斯顿·马丁在荷兰大奖赛排位赛第一节双双出局之后，这一进步“远远不够”。
阿斯顿·马丁的两辆赛车都在周五冲刺赛排位赛的第一阶段被淘汰，但原本期望更高，因为这是新车队周末上本田新引擎正式运行的第一天——不过费尔南多·阿隆索在冲刺赛排位赛中尾翼的直道模式出现了故障。
虽然第一轮之后速度有所提升，阿隆索排名第12，但最终两位阿斯顿·马丁车手都没能进入第二节排位赛，阿隆索只差了0.1秒。
斯特罗尔比阿隆索慢了0.15秒，在排位赛结束后被问及本田“小小的一步”进步时，他给出了一个略显悲观的评价。
当《The 比赛》问到斯特罗尔是否能感觉到车有进步时，他说：“我觉得没有太大进步。也许有一点点，但远远不够。”
“在底盘方面，我认为我们相当不错。我们在布达佩斯迈出了一大步。油门的可控性和动力是我们接下来真正需要努力的地方。”
他说发动机方面“仍然有很多问题”，也就是可控性问题，这让阿斯顿·马丁在弯道入弯时非常难以预测。
谈到油门可控性时，斯特罗尔说：“不好，不好。这就像抽奖一样。现在，我们就是得不到稳定的发动机制动，入弯时还有很多降档被拒绝的情况。所以，是的，问题很多。”
阿隆索：阿斯顿·马丁迈出了“惊人的”一步
阿隆索觉得，如果他的最后一组飞驰圈之前的那圈（出圈）跑得更好，还能再快大约0.1秒，可惜那一圈没能刷新他之前的最好成绩。
但对比阿斯顿·马丁与奥斯卡·皮亚斯特里的迈凯伦在第一节排位赛（Q1）最快圈速之间已大幅缩小的差距时，他远没有感到失望。
“皮亚斯特里在Q1拿到第一，比我们快1.3秒——而我们过去平均落后领先者4.5秒，所以我们在两站比赛里提高了三秒，”阿隆索解释道。
"这太棒了。一切都按预期运转，但这是一项艰难的运动。你必须始终保持进步。"
他同意斯特罗尔的看法，即如果本田能改善新动力单元的可操控性，还能找到更多时间，但这只能在本田位于日本樱（Sakura）的基地完成。
阿隆索补充道："遗憾的是，在赛道这边，我们无能为力。我们必须依靠工厂、软件或其他方面的一些重大改进。"
"这些必须来自日本，所以不可能一蹴而就。更接近意大利大奖赛（蒙扎）的时候，我们需要在那里再找到一步的提升。整个套件里还有零点几秒的优化空间。"
至于阿斯顿·马丁从第18和第19位发车的比赛前景，阿隆索说：“看看吧。通常我们在比赛节奏上表现更好，因为我们的底盘非常出色。
“当（对手）在正赛中使用旧轮胎或较旧的轮胎时，我们更多依靠底盘的良好抓地力，而不那么依赖轮胎和轮胎抓地力。
“我们可以做得更好，但与此同时我们在直道上无法完成超越。在这方面我们处于困难的位置，但我们会尽力而为。”
本田的赛道总经理兼总工程师折原慎太郎说：“今天我们使用新规格引擎参加了冲刺赛和排位赛，没有出现任何可靠性问题。
“在这些练习环节之后，我们从两位阿斯顿·马丁车手那里收到了类似的反馈。
结合我们工程师的评估，以及我们在樱田HRC（HRC Sakura）试验台上于夜间和冲刺赛之后开展的工作，我们已经取得了一些改进，能够更好地控制内燃机（ICE），并进一步提升排位赛中燃烧表现的一致性。
我们需要确保发动机能在正确的时机满足车手的需求。我们今天已经采取了一些措施，但要让车手获得所需的信心，还有更多工作要做。
这是我们短期和中期工作的首要重点。”

Lance Stroll believes Honda’s upgraded Formula 1 engine is “not nearly enough” of a step forward after Aston Martin’s double Q1 elimination at the Dutch Grand Prix.
Aston Martin lost both cars in the first stage of sprint qualifying on Friday, but hopes were higher given that it was the first proper day of the new Honda engine running on a race weekend - plus the caveat of Fernando Alonso’s straight mode not working on his rear wing in sprint qualifying.
And while the pace was better after the first runs, with Alonso 12th, ultimately both Aston Martin drivers fell short of a Q2 place, with Alonso a tenth adrift.
Stroll was a tenth and a half behind Alonso and delivered a somewhat bleak verdict on Honda’s “small step” forward when quizzed about it after qualifying.
“Not so much, I think. Maybe a bit, but not nearly enough,” Stroll said, when asked by The Race if he could feel a step forward.
“On the chassis side, I think we're quite good. We made a big step in Budapest. The driveability and the power is the next thing we need to really work on.”
He said there are “still a lot of issues on the engine side”, namely the driveability problems, which is making the Aston Martin very unpredictable on corner entries.
“Not good, not good. It's a lottery,” Stroll said of the driveability. “Right now, we're just not getting the consistent engine braking, going into the corner and a lot of rejected downshifts. So, yeah, a lot of issues.”
Alonso: Aston Martin has taken "amazing" step
Alonso felt like there was around a tenth more on the table with a better outlap for his final run, which wasn’t an improvement on his previous best.
But he was far from disappointed when comparing the much-reduced gap between Aston Martin and the ultimate Q1 pace of Oscar Piastri's McLaren.
“Piastri P1 in Q1 was 1.3 seconds in front of us - we used to be 4.5 seconds average on the gap to the leader, so we improved three seconds in two races," Alonso explained.
"This is amazing. Everything is working as expected, but this is a tough sport. You need to always keep improving.”
He agreed with Stroll that there’s more time to be found if Honda can improve the driveability of the new power unit, but that can only be done at Honda’s Sakura base in Japan.
“Unfortunately, here on the track side, there is not much we can do," Alonso added. "We need to rely on some big changes in the factory or software or whatever is needed.
"This has to come from Japan, so it's not from one day to the next. It's more towards Monza where we need to find another step there. There are a couple of tenths to optimise in the package.”
As for Aston Martin’s prospects for the race from 18th and 19th on the grid, Alonso said: “Let's see. Normally we are doing better on the race pace because our chassis is very good.
“When [rivals] have old tyres or older tyres in the race, we rely more on our good grip from the chassis and we don't rely so much on the tyres and grip.
"We can do a better job, but at the same time we cannot overtake on the straights. We are in a difficult position there, but we try our best.”
Honda's trackside general manager and chief engineer Shintaro Orihara said: “Today we ran the sprint race and qualifying without any reliability issues with the new spec engine.
"We have received similar feedback from both Aston Martin drivers after these sessions.
"Together, with our engineers’ assessments, and our work on the test bench at HRC Sakura overnight and after the sprint race, we have seen some improvements to get a better control over the internal combustion engine (ICE) and to further improve the consistency of the combustion behaviour in qualifying.
"We need to ensure that the engine does what the driver needs at the right time. We have taken some steps today, but there is still more to be done to give the drivers the confidence they need.
"This is our primary focus for the short and medium term.”
