勒克莱尔称法拉利直线速度慢,转弯感糟糕:这是‘最糟糕的感觉’
勒克莱尔在巴西大奖赛周五练习后表示,他的法拉利SF-26在直道上速度慢,转弯时感觉非常糟糕。

法拉利在直线道上速度慢,在弯道中挣扎:查尔斯·勒克莱尔表示这是‘最糟糕的感觉之一’
勒克莱尔对巴西大奖赛周五的复杂情况作出反应
查尔斯·勒克莱尔在巴西大奖赛的周五练习后,描述了他的法拉利SF-26在直线道上速度慢,在弯道中感觉非常糟糕
刘易斯·汉密尔顿和勒克莱尔在第二次自由练习中分别排在第六和第七,分别比银箭车队的领跑者基米·安东内利慢0.45秒和0.72秒,这与斯库德里亚典型的周五速度相比很不寻常。
“今天周五非常、非常困难,”勒克莱尔说,他在FP1中将自己的赛车交给了法拉利的弟子迪诺·贝加诺维奇,在FP2中被法拉利学院的毕业生拉斐尔·卡马拉阻碍了。
“车内的感觉非常糟糕,所以我们有很多工作要做——可能比其他周末还要多——从今天到明天要改变很多东西。感觉真的很奇怪。有很多事情需要改变。
“我们肯定在直道上失去了优势,但车在弯道上的感觉可能是本赛季最糟糕的周五之一。所以我们需要在弯道中找到很多改进空间,比在直道上的改进空间更大,因为我们知道在直道上我们存在劣势。但通常我们在弯道上的速度非常快,而今天并不是这样。”
当被问及是否通过调整设置可以让SF-26回到正确的窗口,或者法拉利是否面临一个出乎意料的艰难周末时,勒克莱尔回答道:“嗯,我还没有答案。我对要改变什么有很多想法,我认为明天会有重大的变化。
“是否足够……今天我们遇到的问题相当大,但没有任何理由说明我们会在这样的赛道上遇到更多的麻烦。所以我们需要找到解决方案。”
车队负责人弗雷德·瓦瑟尔承认存在“几个问题”和“大量的工作”在前面,但他比勒克莱尔对法拉利在本周末剩余时间的胜算更为乐观。
“还有很多平衡工作要做,”这位法国人说。“车手们并不开心。查尔斯今天早上没有参加FP1。我们今天遇到了一些问题,明天还有很多工作要做。最重要的是,明天的天气预报和周日一般般,这意味着我们必须准备好应对所有条件。但我并不比上周更悲观。”
当被问及勒克莱尔关于潜在引擎问题的无线电信息时,瓦瑟尔澄清说:“我们在几圈中遇到了部署问题。我们必须对一切进行微调。在他的最快圈速中,他在直道上失去了几十分之一秒。”
“我认为这并不是一场戏剧,而是你需要专注于时间表的第一页[的排名],但我们并没有。我们知道我们在平衡方面还有很多工作要做。平衡并不好,并不出色。路面与一周前相反。它创造了很多工作要做,与上周相比有很大的不同。”
然而,围绕法拉利的主题主要是关于墨西哥大奖赛第一圈车手之间的最新冲突,这可能让他们失去了胜利的机会。
周四晚上举行了一次会议来澄清事情,但当被问及此事时,勒克莱尔避而不谈。
“聚在一起讨论真的很不错,”这位摩纳哥人说。“显然,对我来说,这已经是一周疯狂的经历,而且是积极的,因为我第一次成为父亲,所以我们没有必要讨论。”
“讨论总是关于剩下的事情或者剩下的挫折,这是必要的。现在我感觉已经完全解决了,我认为我们不应该过多地谈论它了。”

Ferrari slow on straights, struggling in corners: ‘One of the worst feelings’ for Charles Leclerc
Leclerc reacts to a tricky Friday for Ferrari in Brazil
Charles Leclerc has described his Ferrari SF-26 as slow on straights with a terrible feeling in corners following Friday practice at Formula 1’s Brazilian Grand Prix.
Lewis Hamilton and Leclerc were sixth- and seventh-fastest in Free Practice 2, respectively 0.45s and 0.72s slower than pacesetter Kimi Antonelli in his Silver Arrow, which is unusual compared to the Scuderia’s typical Friday pace.
“It's been a very, very difficult Friday,” said Leclerc, who ceded his car to Ferrari protege Dino Beganovic in FP1 and was impeded by Ferrari academy graduate Rafael Camara in FP2.
“The feeling was just very poor inside the car, so we've got a lot of work to do – and probably more than other weekends – to change quite a lot the car from today to tomorrow. It just felt quite strange, in a way. Lots of changes to be made.
“We were losing for sure in the straights, but the car in the corners just felt probably one of the worst Friday feelings of the season. So there's a lot to be found in corners, more than in the straights, where we know we have a deficit. But normally we are very fast in corners and today it was not the case.”
Asked whether set-up tweaks could get the SF-26 back into the right window or if Ferrari was in for an unexpectedly difficult weekend, Leclerc responded: “Well, I don't have the answer yet. I've got quite a lot of ideas on what to change and I think there will be significant changes going into tomorrow.
“Whether that will be enough… the issues we had today were quite big, but there's no reason why we will struggle so much more on a track like this. So we need to find a solution.”
Team principal Fred Vasseur admitted to “a couple of issues” and “a lot of work” ahead, but was more optimistic than Leclerc as to Ferrari’s chances in the remainder of the weekend.
“A lot to do on the balance,” the Frenchman said. “Drivers, they were not happy. Charles didn't do FP1 this morning. We had a couple of issues today and a lot of work to prepare tomorrow. On the top, the weather forecast tomorrow and Sunday is so-so, it means that we have to be prepared to all the conditions. But I'm not less optimistic than last week.”
Questioned about Leclerc’s radio messages regarding potential engine trouble, Vasseur clarified: “A couple of times we had a deployment issue in the laps. We have to fine-tune everything. On his fastest lap, he lost a couple of tenths in a straight line.
“I would say that it's not a drama, it's more for you to be focused on page one [of the timesheet], but we are not. We know that we have a lot to do on the balance. The balance was not good, not great. The tarmac is the opposite of one week ago. It's creating a lot of work to do and a difference compared to last week.”
The main topic surrounding Ferrari, however, has been the drivers’ latest clash on lap one of the Mexican Grand Prix, which may have cost them victory.
A meeting took place on Thursday evening to set things straight, but when asked about it, Leclerc was elusive.
“It was really good to just discuss all together,” the Monegasque said. “Obviously, for me, it's been a bit of a crazy week and positively because I became a father for the first time, so we didn't necessarily have time to discuss.
“Discussing always is whatever is left or whatever frustration is left, and that was needed. Now I feel it's fully settled and I don't think we should be speaking about it too much going forward.”
