博塔斯为何在阿塞拜疆大奖赛上比佩雷兹慢那么多？
2026赛季F1阿塞拜疆大奖赛上，凯迪拉克车队两名车手佩雷兹与博塔斯之间的队内差距异常悬殊，排位赛博塔斯慢了1.632秒，正赛中每圈落后约1.9秒。
博塔斯为何在阿塞拜疆大奖赛上比佩雷兹慢那么多？
巴库的两位凯迪拉克车手之间存在显著的节奏差异——这是他们尽己所知对此的解释
截至目前，在2026赛季F1中，可能还没有哪场比赛的队内表现差距像阿塞拜疆大奖赛上佩雷兹与博塔斯之间的差距如此悬殊。
周五的排位赛中，博塔斯虽受黄旗影响，但仍落后1.632秒，而他的困境一直延续到正赛深处。到第26圈第一次进站时，这位芬兰车手已经落后队友的凯迪拉克超过46秒，相当于每圈损失1.9秒。他比赛后段的节奏也类似，安全车出动之后，他每圈仍被拉开约1.6秒。
“挺漫长的一场比赛，”当被要求描述自己的比赛时，博塔斯紧张地轻笑着说。“说实话，完全没有速度。我只能和费尔南多（阿隆索）斗一斗——当然，我们在那里损失了一些时间。除此之外，差距相当大，所以这个周末有很多东西需要研究。”
这位老将确实不得不采取一些省油滑行的驾驶方式，但他认为这并不能解释他巨大的差距。“我觉得还有别的原因。我们会去查一查，”他说。
与此同时，佩雷斯在第一段比赛中始终跟得上中游车队的节奏。第20圈，当塞恩斯第一次进站时，这位西班牙车手仅领先凯迪拉克一秒；奥迪车队的霍肯伯格和博尔托莱托也没有落后太远。
佩雷斯充分利用了安全车时机，回到赛道时排到了塞恩斯前面，并在重启后的混乱中短暂超越博尔托莱托，一度名列第12位，但最终又跌回到第15位，排在劳森、博尔托莱托和皮亚斯特里身后。
“说实话，这是我在巴库最好的周末之一，我把那辆车的性能发挥到了150%，”这位两届阿塞拜疆大奖赛冠军说道。
“我们一直在和那些因为超车模式而比我们快一到两秒的赛车较量，所以第一段（ stint ）我们始终跟住了他们——和威廉姆斯的车、和奥迪的车，差距很大。但最后在重新发车时，我们就是没有直道速度，所以掉了下去。我们和皮亚斯特里争了一会儿，我想他当时可能有一些损伤。”
“目前我们缺少大约半秒到一秒的速度，才能和他们混在一起竞争。”
“问题其实就是我的速度。我在直道上就像一个活靶子，所以我知道机会不多。”
因此，佩雷兹与博塔斯之间的差距可以用这位墨西哥车手在巴库街道上的进攻性风格来解释：“按照我当时开车的感觉，任何一个弯角只要出一点差错，我都会撞上护墙。所以当你跑完这样一场比赛时，你会感到非常自豪。”
与此同时，博塔斯的比赛在方格旗挥出前不久因技术故障以撞墙告终。
“就在我同一圈，我在1号弯锁死了轮胎，冲出了赛道，”这位凯迪拉克车手解释道。“然后我想是因为多跑了距离，系统有点混乱了。我在15号弯发生了严重打滑，之后当我踩刹车时，只有前刹车起作用，几乎就像后轮不再回收能量了一样。所以，那里有些东西出现了一点混乱。”
这位芬兰车手现在已经连续三场大奖赛，在赛道上没有哪怕一个比赛圈跑在队友前面。

How was Valtteri Bottas so much slower than Sergio Perez in the Azerbaijan GP?
There was a significant pace difference between the Cadillac drivers in Baku – here’s how they explain it to the best of their knowledge
There may never have been, so far in the 2026 Formula 1 season, such a stark contrast in intra-team performance as between Sergio Perez and Valtteri Bottas in the Azerbaijan Grand Prix.
Bottas was outqualified by 1.632s on Friday, albeit hindered by a yellow flag, and his woes persisted deep into the race. By his first pitstop on lap 26, the Finn was already over 46 seconds adrift of the sister Cadillac, equating to a 1.9s loss per lap. His late-race pace was similar, as after the safety car interventions he was dropping back by 1.6s a lap.
“Long one,” Bottas nervously chuckled when asked to describe his race. “Honestly, no pace at all. I could only fight with Fernando [Alonso] – for sure, we lost some time there. Otherwise, pretty far off, so lots of things to look into from this weekend.”
The veteran did have to do some lift-and-coast but reckoned that didn’t explain his mammoth deficit. “I think there's something else. We'll have a look,” he said.
Meanwhile, Perez matched the pace of the midfield throughout the first stint. On lap 20, when Carlos Sainz made his first pitstop, the Spaniard led the Cadillac by just one second; Audi pair Nico Hulkenberg and Gabriel Bortoleto weren’t much further down the road.
Perez made the most of the safety car to emerge back on track ahead of Sainz and passed Gabriel Bortoleto to ever so briefly hold 12th following the restart chaos, but eventually fell back down to 15th behind Liam Lawson, Bortoleto and Oscar Piastri.
“It's been one of my best weekends in Baku to be honest, I managed to get 150% out of that car,” the two-time Azerbaijan GP winner said.
“We were fighting cars that are a second or two seconds faster than us due to the overtake mode, so we stayed with them throughout the first stint – with the Williams, with the Audi, big gap. But then in the end at the restart we just don't have any straightline speed, so we fall back. We fought for a bit with Piastri, I think he had some damage.
“At the moment we're lacking really half a second to a second to be able to mix with them.
“The problem is really my pace. I was a sitting duck on the straights, so I knew that there was not much opportunity.”
The gap between Perez and Bottas may therefore be explained by the Mexican’s attacking ethos in the Baku streets: “The way I felt like I was driving, if anything went wrong at any corner I would have put it in the wall. So when you do a race like this, you feel really proud.”
Meanwhile, Bottas’ race ended in the wall due to a technical issue shortly before the checkered flag.
“The same lap I had a lock-up into Turn 1, I went wide,” the Cadillac driver explained. “Then I think the systems got a bit confused because of the extra distance. I had a huge super clip into Turn 15, and then when I hit the brakes, only the front brakes would work, almost like I wasn't harvesting anymore with the rears. So, something got a bit confused there.”
The Finn has now had three consecutive grands prix without spending a single racing lap ahead of his team-mate on the track.
