亚历克斯·布伦德尔质疑迈凯伦新升级包或在阿塞拜疆站受挫

亚历克斯·布伦德尔在阿塞拜疆大奖赛失意后质疑迈凯伦的F1升级
F1电视评论员亚历克斯·布伦德尔在结构问题浮现后，质疑迈凯伦的最新F1升级包是否可能被废弃。
F1电视评论员亚历克斯·布伦德尔质疑迈凯伦的最新F1升级包是否已经注定被丢进“垃圾桶”。
这家总部位于沃金的车队携大型升级包来到阿塞拜疆大奖赛，但卫冕冠军车队经历了一个颗粒无收的周末。
2025年F1冠军兰多·诺里斯在安全车重启时于1号弯发生事故：阿尔派的弗朗哥·科拉平托锁死轮胎，撞上了他的队友皮埃尔·加斯利，而加斯利又撞上了诺里斯。原本有机会登上领奖台的奥斯卡·皮亚斯特里也出现了锁死轮胎的情况，位置跌至车队末尾，最终无缘积分区。这位澳大利亚车手以第13名完赛。
布伦德尔在参加F1 Nation播客节目时表示，虽然零积分的完赛结果并不能公平地反映升级件的表现，但新部件在结构强度上的脆弱性是一个重大隐患。
"我认为零积分并不是一个公平的评价。关键在于表现，而不是结果。"
他还补充道："不过他们确实有个问题，那就是如果这套升级件在结构上不够坚固的话——你整个周末都能看到他们赛车侧面的底板出现了裂缝。"
"兰多·诺里斯在大奖赛中段再次被告知不要压路肩。所以，如果车队带来了一项升级，也许在空气动力学上能在这个赛季后半段帮上忙，但却因为结构强度不够而无法真正使用，那这项升级可能就只能扔进垃圾桶了。"
"在2026年的一级方程式里，没有比在风洞上花一大笔钱却换来一些不起作用的升级更大的灾难了，尤其是当你还是卫冕冠军的时候。"
迈凯伦目前在车队积分榜上以306分排名第三，落后于以538分领跑的梅赛德斯，以及以378分排名第二的法拉利。

Alex Brundle questions McLaren F1 upgrade after Azerbaijan GP disappointment
F1 TV pundit Alex Brundle has questioned whether McLaren's latest F1 upgrade package could be scrapped after structural issues emerged
F1 TV pundit Alex Brundle has questioned whether McLaren's latest Formula 1 upgrade package is already destined for the "bin".
The Woking outfit arrived at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix with a big upgrade package. But the reigning champion suffered a pointless weekend.
2025 Formula 1 champion Lando Norris crashed in a Turn 1 incident at a safety car restart when Alpine's Franco Colapinto locked up and collided with his team-mate Pierre Gasly, who in turn crashed into Norris. Oscar Piastri, who had been in contention for a podium finish, also suffered a lock-up which moved him towards the back of the pack and out of the points. The Australian finished 13th.
During an appearance on the F1 Nation podcast, Brundle argued that while a zero-points finish did not fairly represent the upgrades' performance, the physical fragility of the new parts was a major concern.
"Zero points is, I don't think, a fair assessment. It's all about performance, not result."
He added: "They've got a problem though, which is that if that upgrade is not structurally strong enough, you've seen them all weekend with the cracks in the floorboards on the side of the car.
"Lando Norris was told again not to take the kerbs in the middle of the grand prix. So, if they brought an upgrade that maybe aerodynamically might help somewhere later in this season, but then they can't run it because it's not structurally strong enough to actually operate, that might be an upgrade in the bin.
"There is no bigger disaster in 2026 Formula 1 than spending a ton of money in wind tunnel time, especially when you're the reigning champions on some upgrades that don't work."
McLaren currently sits third in the constructors' championship with 306 points, behind championship leaders Mercedes with 538 points and Ferrari in second with 378 points.
