乔治·拉塞尔周六在巴库城市赛道顶住了马克斯·维斯塔潘的猛烈追击,拿下个人2026赛季第三场胜利。
乔治·拉塞尔盛赞自己在阿塞拜疆度过了一个从头到尾都「不可思议」的周末:这位梅赛德斯车手在周四练习中排名第一,以统治级表现夺得杆位,最终拿下胜利,并借此把队友基米·安东内利在车手积分榜上的领先优势削减了15分。
拉塞尔来到本站时落后安东内利81分,他在冲向方格旗的较量中力压红牛的马克斯·维斯塔潘,把差距缩小到66分;而这位年轻的意大利车手在第一节排位发生戏剧性事故后,正赛从第16位追到了第五。
这是拉塞尔自6月奥地利站以来的首个分站冠军,也是他2026赛季迄今的第三胜,而安东内利目前已经赢了8场。
「重回领奖台最高处的感觉太棒了,」拉塞尔赛后说,「我只想特别感谢我的车队,他们在艰难时刻一直相信我,帮我挺了过来。我为这个周末感到非常自豪。
「比赛前半段感觉相当顺利,一直在拉开差距,然后是安全车重启……当我看到马克斯在身后,我就想『这不会轻松』。他在比赛最后阶段开得非常出色。
「黄旗出来的时候(因为瓦尔特利·博塔斯撞车),我收了油,等我再踩下去时没有涡轮,所以也就没有动力。马克斯差点在终点线上超过我,那样就太可惜了。总的来说,这是一个不可思议的周末。」
被问到信心似乎已经回来时,拉塞尔补充说:「我想只是对我采用的这种新驾驶风格有了更多经验。夏休之后的每一场比赛,我都觉得自己越来越强。我感觉又更像我自己了,这真的很棒。」
至于在剩余分站中如何追赶安东内利,这位英国车手明确表达了自己的意图。
「每场都赢!这就是计划。」他笑着说,「我的队友这个赛季表现不可思议,几乎一直无懈可击,但现在到了关键时刻。
「我只会专注于自己。如果我能继续像这个周末一样发挥,无论赛季末发生什么,我都会很开心。这段时间对我来说非常艰难,现在我感觉自己已经走出来了。」

George Russell fended off a charging Max Verstappen to claim his third victory of the 2026 season at the Baku City Circuit on Saturday.
George Russell hailed an “incredible” weekend from start to finish in Azerbaijan, with the Mercedes driver topping Thursday practice, charging to a dominant pole and ultimately securing victory – cutting team mate Kimi Antonelli’s championship lead by 15 points in the process.
Russell headed into the event 81 points behind Antonelli, but trimmed that gap to 66 by edging out Red Bull’s Max Verstappen in a dash to the chequered flag, while the young Italian recovered from 16th to fifth after a dramatic Q1 accident.
It marks Russell’s first Grand Prix victory since Austria in June, and his third of the 2026 season so far, comparing to the eight Antonelli has achieved up to this point.
“It’s amazing to be back on the top step of the podium,” Russell commented post-race. “I just want to say a big thanks to my team, because they continued to believe in me through tough moments, helped me come through it. I’m really proud to have had this weekend.
“The first half of the race felt pretty plain sailing, getting the gap, the Safety Car restart… When I saw Max behind, I thought, ‘It’s not going to be easy’. He drove incredibly at the end of the race.
“When the yellow flag came out [for Valtteri Bottas’ crash], I lifted off the power, and when I went back, I had no turbo, so then I had no power. Max almost got me at the line, so that would have been a real shame. All in all, an incredible weekend.”
Asked about his confidence seemingly returning, Russell added: “I think it’s just having more experience with this sort of new driving style that I’ve adopted. Every race since the [summer] break I feel like I’ve gone from strength to strength. I feel like more myself again, so that’s really great.”
As for how he plans to approach the remaining rounds of the championship, in his quest to overhaul Antonelli, the Briton made his intentions clear.
“Win every race! That’s the game plan,” he stated with a smile. “My team mate’s had an incredible season, he’s been pretty flawless throughout, but now we’re getting to crunch time.
“I’m just going to focus on myself. If I continue delivering performances like I’ve done this weekend, no matter what happens towards the end of the season, I’ll be happy. It’s been a really tough period for me, and now I feel like I’ve come through the other side.”
