维斯塔潘对F1新马德里赛道作出简短而意味深长的回应
F1首次使用马德里IFEMA会展中心周边的马德里赛道赛道，混乱少于围场内的担忧，维斯塔潘称主办方干得不错，但仍强调自己不是街道赛道的爱好者。
马克斯·维斯塔潘（维斯塔潘）对F1全新马德里赛道作出的简短却耐人寻味的反应
维斯塔潘表示马德里的赛事组织者做得不错，但这位红牛车手强调，他仍然不喜欢街道赛道
Formula 1首次接触环绕马德里IFEMA会展中心的这条赛道，其混乱程度低于围场中一些人可能担心的水平。尽管F3和F2的练习赛中出现了多次撞车，甚至有一辆赛车起火，但到目前为止西班牙大奖赛中唯一的F1事故是阿维德·林德布拉德（Arvid Lindblad）的一次撞车。
就目前而言，马德里赛道赛道在最高级别的比赛中还没有被证明是‘赛车杀手’，但这并不意味着马克斯·维斯塔潘是F1赛历上这条最新赛道的忠实粉丝。
当被问到对这条赛道的第一印象时，他只简单地回答：“嗯……
当被问到这位四届世界冠军是否只有这些要说的，他继续说道：“嗯，我不知道。我不是街道赛道的粉丝，这一点永远不会改变。我始终更喜欢在像斯帕那样的赛道上驾驶。
我是说，他们在这里所做的一切，比如他们把所有东西搭建起来的方式，我认为他们做得非常出色，但我不是街道赛道的粉丝。
红牛技术总监皮埃尔·瓦克（Pierre Wache）确实从工程角度描述了这条赛道，由于其弯道的多样性而极具挑战性。不过，他这位法国人预测，超车将是一个巨大的挑战。
“这条赛道有多种类型的弯角，从工程角度来看这很有意思，”他说。“但除此之外，超车将会非常困难，看起来是这样。”
马克斯·维斯塔潘：“我不喜欢街道赛道”
当瓦谢谈到工程师面临的挑战时，这不仅仅是因为弯角类型的多样性。车队还必须在离地间隙和车身硬度之间找到折中方案：既要足够硬以应对高速弯和倾斜弯道，又要足够软以便冲击路肩。
“是的，而且我认为还需要在不同弯角之间以及动力输出方面进行折中。有些弯角是全油门，会让轮胎产生一些打滑，这是我们必须要观察的。不过是的，这很有挑战性。”
一条新赛道理论上也带来了机会，但维斯塔潘昨天已经表示，他不认为这会给红牛带来赢下一场比赛的绝佳机会。周五的成绩印证了这一点：他排名第六，比最快的基米·安东内利慢了十分之四秒。
“从我们这边来看，这基本上就是我们的位置”，维斯塔潘说，“我们只需要在平衡性上再下一点功夫，争取在单圈中多榨出一点性能，然后看看轮胎在长距离中的表现如何。不过我猜大家的情况都差不多。”
除此之外，维斯塔潘在第二次练习赛中还遇到了动力转向的问题，但他预计这个问题不会在周末剩下的时间里困扰他。
“嗯，我是说，车还是能开的，但在第二次练习赛里感觉不太一样。不过他们会修好的。”

Max Verstappen’s short but telling reaction to F1’s new Madrid circuit
Verstappen says the organisers in Madrid have done a good job, but the Red Bull driver stresses that he is still not a fan of street circuits
Formula 1’s first encounter with the circuit around the IFEMA complex in Madrid has produced less chaos than some in the paddock may have feared. While the F3 and F2 sessions have seen several crashes and even a car going up in flames, the only F1 incident so far at the Spanish Grand Prix has been a crash for Arvid Lindblad.
For now, then, the Madring has not proved to be a ‘car killer’ in the premier class, although that does not mean Max Verstappen is a big fan of the latest addition to the F1 calendar.
Asked for his first impression of the circuit, he simply replied: “Yeah...”
Asked whether that was all the four-time world champion had to say, he continued: “Yeah, I don't know. I'm not a fan of street circuits so that will never change. I will always prefer to drive on a track like Spa.
“I mean, what they have done here, like the way they have built everything up, I think they've done a really good job, but I'm not a fan of street circuits.”
Red Bull technical director Pierre Wache does describe the track as very challenging from an engineering point of view due to the variety of corners. Overtaking, however, is going to be an enormous challenge, the Frenchman predicts.
“It has quite a lot of types of corners and that is interesting from an engineering point of view,” he said. “But apart from that, it will be very difficult to overtake, it looks like that.”
Max Verstappen: "I'm not a fan of street circuits"
When Wache talks about the challenge for engineers, that is not only because of the variety of corner types. Teams also have to find a compromise in terms of ride height and car stiffness: stiff enough for the high-speed corners and the banking, but soft enough to attack the kerbs.
“Yeah, and I think compromising between some corners and the deployment as well. Some corners are full throttle and put some sliding on the tyres, that's something we have to see. But yeah, it's challenging.”
A new circuit theoretically offers opportunities as well, but Verstappen already said yesterday that he does not expect it to present Red Bull with a golden chance of winning a race. That picture was confirmed on Friday with sixth place, four tenths behind fastest man Kimi Antonelli.
“From our side, this is more or less where we are”, Verstappen said. “We just need to work a little bit on the balance, trying to get a bit more out of it over one lap and then see how the tyres hold up in the long run. But I guess everyone is a bit in the same boat.”
Aside from that, Verstappen also experienced an issue with the power steering in the second practice session, but he does not expect that problem to trouble him for the rest of the weekend.
“Well, I mean, it's all drivable, but it was not feeling the same [in FP2]. But they will fix it.”
