F1荷兰大奖赛前瞻：五大看点不容错过
F1将于本周末在赞德福特赛道迎来2026年夏休期后的回归，荷兰大奖赛标志着赛季进入中点，冠军争夺和下赛季车手席位的归属都将逐渐明朗。
F1荷兰大奖赛值得关注的五件事
本周末F1将在赞德沃特举行比赛，从夏季休整期回归
本周末的荷兰大奖赛标志着一级方程式从2026年夏季休整期回归，赛季尾声已近在眼前。
赞德沃特是本赛季的中点，休整期后将有总冠军之争、传奇的书写，以及下赛季车手席位的争夺成败。
所以这个周末有很多值得期待的看点，以下是需要留意的五件事。
看起来已经没有什么能阻止19岁的安东内利在2026年成为史上最年轻的F1世界冠军了。这位梅赛德斯车手目前领先第二名汉密尔顿50分，而且在暑假之后，还从来没有哪位积分榜领跑者挥霍过如此巨大的优势。
这肯定不是赛季开始前人们所预料的，当时安东内利的队友拉塞尔才是夺冠的大热门，但自从第二站中国站以来，这位意大利车手就一直技高一筹。
安东内利状态出色的关键在于他的单圈速度，本赛季他已经拿到六个杆位，而且每次这位第二个赛季征战的车手遭遇挫折时，他都能以一种冠军般的方式强势反弹。
想想比利时站吧，尽管在此前三场比赛中的两场——巴塞罗那和银石——因可靠性问题未能得分，安东内利仍从杆位出发并取得统治性胜利。安东内利看起来无疑是一位蓄势待发的冠军，现在距离他的加冕只剩下最后的冲刺。
更令人印象深刻的是，安东内利相比去年取得了巨大进步，去年他经历了起伏不定的新秀赛季，其中赛季中期那段艰难的欧洲征程尤为突出。
例如在赞德沃特，他在一练中犯下一次不必要的冲出赛道，随后又因在三号弯撞上勒克莱尔被罚时10秒，最终完赛跌出积分区。没有理由认为他这次还会陷入挣扎。
伊斯克·哈贾尔，红牛车队；利亚姆·劳森，小红牛
一直以来对安东内利评价很高的一位车手，就是四届世界冠军维斯塔潘，而这个周末他在红牛又将迎来一次队友更换。只不过这次与表现无关，因为伊萨克·哈贾尔在健身房训练时手腕受伤。
这位21岁的车手没有通过赞德沃特站的体检，而赞德沃特正是他唯一一次登上F1领奖台的地方，因此将由小红牛车手利亚姆·劳森顶替出战。这位新西兰车手将迎来他在红牛的第三场大奖赛——2025年初，由于他在首个完整F1赛季开局表现糟糕，车队早早将他降级。
不过这一次他更加成熟了，这位新西兰车手目前排在积分榜第九位，是四大车队之后的“最强其他人”。他在小红牛与新人阿维德·林德布拉德并肩的位置，将由替补车手角田裕毅接替。角田曾接替劳森在红牛的位置，结果在赛季末又被哈贾尔取代。
对红牛来说，2026年并不算太美好：车队在积分榜上排名第四，落后第三名的迈凯伦43分。但维斯塔潘在过去两场比赛——斯帕和布达佩斯——都登上了领奖台，而哈贾尔在这两站都获得了第六名。
因此，这是劳森（Lawson）证明自己、真正留下印记的机会，表明他从去年在那里艰难的时光中成功反弹。进入第三节排位赛（Q3）并拿到可观的积分，对这位2023年在赞德沃特完成一级方程式首秀的新西兰车手来说，应该算是一个不错的周末。
至于角田裕毅（Tsunoda），考虑到他对2026年赛车的经验有限，这或许是一个更艰巨的任务，但他将驾驶的是一辆小红牛（小红牛）赛车，而小红牛在过去七轮比赛中稳定地领先于中游车队并不断拿到积分。
这个周末，维斯塔潘不仅会迎来一位新队友，这也将是他在可预见的未来里的最后一场主场比赛，因为赞德沃特将从2027年起退出赛历。这是一个相当令人失望的时刻，因为荷兰大奖赛自2021年结束长达36年的中断、重返一级方程式以来，为这项运动贡献了很多。
其中最显著的，就是给一级方程式的明星车手提供了一场主场比赛。荷兰重返锦标赛在很大程度上是因为维斯塔潘，而他也不遗余力地回报了这份情谊——在过去五年中创纪录地三次赢得荷兰大奖赛。
但由于迈凯伦由兰多·诺里斯和奥斯卡·皮亚斯特里共同主导的统治，他在最近两场比赛中都未能夺冠；考虑到沃金车队、梅赛德斯和法拉利所占据的优势，他周日也不太可能终结这场不胜纪录。
维斯塔潘仍将佩戴一款特制头盔，以纪念赞德沃特的最后一站比赛。该赛道出于包括财务在内的多种原因，已于2024年底宣布退出。取而代之的是，这条荷兰海滨赛道将出现在电动方程式的赛历上，并在2026-27赛季迎来前景光明的第四代赛车（Gen4）时代。
你听说阿斯顿·马丁本赛季开局艰难了吗？自从车队迟到参加冬季测试以来，这件事已经被提及、讨论和分析过整整一万五千次了。
不过现在情况正在改变，夏休前在匈牙利进行的多项空气动力学升级展现出了潜力。接下来试图扭转车队局面的，是一套来自本田的引擎升级。
对这家日本汽车制造商来说，这关键的一步将在本周末的赞德沃特迈出，本田将在那里部署一次内燃机升级，应当能提升性能和可驾性。据本田总工程师折原晋太郎表示，新部件的目标是帮助阿斯顿·马丁重新回到“比赛阵营”中。
AMR26需要一次动力提升才能追上中游集团的尾部，一些估计认为新部件在赞德沃特可为赛车带来多达30马力的提升。当然，荷兰这条赛道并不是F1赛历上对动力最敏感的赛道，但结合车队推出的其他升级，发动机的提升或许能帮助阿斯顿·马丁摆脱同为垫底者的凯迪拉克。
此外，在荷兰的这个周末用于熟悉新动力单元，将为这支挣扎中的车队提供宝贵经验，供几周后带到速度圣殿蒙扎使用。对于阿隆索、斯特罗尔以及阿斯顿车队的其他成员来说，隧道尽头也许终于出现了光亮。
马尔钦·布德科夫斯基在突发的调整后开始担任凯迪拉克车队领队
当F1围场从夏休期回归时，将迎来一位新的、却又熟悉的面孔——马尔钦·布德科夫斯基将在赞德沃特迎来他作为凯迪拉克车队领队的第一个比赛周末。
格雷姆·劳登受命从零开始打造凯迪拉克。这确实是字面意义上的从零开始，因为他负责监督了这支新F1车队设施的建设以及关键人员的招募，其中包括两位车手——塞尔吉奥·佩雷斯和瓦尔特利·博塔斯。
这是一项在极短时间内完成的庞大任务——尤其以当今F1车队的标准和规模来看更是如此——而凯迪拉克作为第11支车队加入发车区后，首秀表现稳健。在被超越之前，它一直轻松领先于老牌车队阿斯顿·马丁，直到后者在上一站匈牙利站终于推出了重大升级套件。
然而，凯迪拉克F1首席执行官丹·托里斯认为劳登的任期已经走到了尽头，并且如他后来所解释的，单方面决定由布德科夫斯基来执掌这支车队。
这位接受法式教育的波兰人拥有数十年的经验并担任过领导职务，曾效力于法拉利、迈凯伦和阿尔派等车队，还曾在国际汽联（FIA）的一级方程式技术部门任职。
他现在面临的任务是将凯迪拉克推进到项目的下一阶段：成为真正具备中游竞争力的车队，而车队管理层似乎急于尽可能缩短这一过程。

Five things to look out for at the F1 Dutch GP
F1 returns from the summer shutdown this weekend with its race at Zandvoort
This weekend’s Dutch Grand Prix marks the return of Formula 1 from its 2026 summer shutdown with the end of the season now firmly in sight.
Zandvoort represents the halfway point of the campaign with championships being decided, legacies made and grid seats for the following season being won or lost post-shutdown.
So there’s plenty to look forward to this weekend and here are five things to watch out for.
There is seemingly nothing stopping the 19-year-old Kimi Antonelli from becoming the youngest ever F1 world champion in 2026. The Mercedes driver holds a 50-point advantage over second-placed Lewis Hamilton and never has a championship leader squandered such a large buffer after the summer break.
It’s certainly not what was expected pre-season, with Antonelli’s team-mate George Russell entering the campaign as the heavy title favourite, but since round two in China, the Italian has been a cut above.
Key to Antonelli’s form has been his one-lap pace, with six poles this season and every time the championship sophomore has suffered a setback, he has bounced back in a champion-like manner.
Think Belgium where he dominated from pole, despite failing to score in two of the prior three rounds - Barcelona and Silverstone - due to reliability woes. Antonelli is certainly looking like a champion-in-waiting and now is just the final stretch before his coronation.
What makes it even more impressive is that Antonelli has made huge strides from last year, when he endured an up-and-down rookie campaign, highlighted by that tough European run mid-season.
In Zandvoort, for example, he made a needless off in FP1 before finishing the race outside of the points after a 10s penalty for colliding into Charles Leclerc at Turn 3. There is no reason to think he’ll struggle this time around.
Isack Hadjar, Red Bull Racing, Liam Lawson, Racing Bulls
One driver who has always spoken highly of Antonelli is four-time world champion Max Verstappen, who this weekend will have yet another team-mate change at Red Bull. Only this time it isn’t performance related, as Isack Hadjar injured his wrist during a gym session.
The 21-year-old hasn’t passed fit for Zandvoort, the sight of his only F1 podium, so will be replaced by Racing Bulls man Liam Lawson. The Kiwi is set for his third grand prix at Red Bull after being demoted by the team early in 2025 following a very poor start to his first full season in F1.
He’s more mature this time though, as the New Zealander is ninth in the standings and ‘best of the rest’ behind the top four teams. His spot alongside rookie Arvid Lindblad at Racing Bulls will be taken by reserve driver Yuki Tsunoda, who took Lawson’s spot at Red Bull, only to be dropped for Hadjar at the end of the season.
It’s not exactly been the most amazing 2026 for Red Bull, which is fourth in the standings and 43 points behind third-placed McLaren, but Verstappen has scored a podium in the last two races - Spa and Budapest - while Hadjar finished sixth in both.
So, there is the opportunity for Lawson to impress and really make his mark as somebody who has bounced back from his torrid time there last year. A Q3 appearance and solid points haul should mark a good weekend for the New Zealander, who made his F1 debut at Zandvoort in 2023.
As for Tsunoda, it’s perhaps a tougher ask considering his little experience with the 2026 machines but he is stepping into a Racing Bulls car that comfortably leads the midfield with points in the last seven rounds.
Not only will Verstappen have a new team-mate this weekend, but it will also be his final home race for the indefinite future as Zandvoort is dropping off the calendar for 2027. It’s quite a disappointing moment because the Dutch Grand Prix has offered a lot to F1 since it ended its 36-year hiatus by returning in 2021.
Most notably, giving F1’s star driver a home race. Verstappen was largely the reason for the Netherlands returning to the championship and he has certainly given it his best shot by winning the Dutch GP a record three times in the past five years.
But he has failed to win the last two due to McLaren domination - shared by both Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri - and it is unlikely he’ll end that win-less streak on Sunday due to the advantage held by the Woking outfit, Mercedes and Ferrari.
Verstappen will still sport a special helmet to mark the final race at Zandvoort, which announced its departure at the end of 2024 for various reasons including financial. Instead, the Dutch seaside circuit will feature on the Formula E calendar when it introduces the promising Gen4 era in the 2026-27 campaign.
Did you hear that Aston Martin had a rough start to the season? It’s only been mentioned, discussed and analysed precisely 15,000 times since the team arrived late to winter testing.
Now, though, things are changing and various aerodynamic updates in Hungary before the summer break showed promise. Next up to try and turn the team around is an engine upgrade from Honda.
This vital step for the Japanese automaker will come in Zandvoort this weekend, where Honda will deploy an internal combustion upgrade that should aid performance and driveability. The target for the new parts is to help Aston Martin move back up towards the “racing field”, according to Honda chief engineer Shintaro Orihara.
The AMR26 needs a power boost to catch the back of the midfield, and some estimates suggest the new parts could bring as much as 30bhp to the car around Zandvoort. Now, the Dutch track isn’t the most power-sensitive circuit on the F1 calendar, but coupled with the other updates the team has rolled out, an engine boost could help Aston move clear of fellow backmarker Cadillac.
What’s more, a weekend to get to grips with the new unit in the Netherlands will offer vital learnings that the struggling team can take to Monza, the temple of speed, in a few weeks’ time. Maybe there finally is light at the end of the tunnel for Fernando Alonso, Lance Stroll and the rest of the Aston team.
Marcin Budkowski begins life as Cadillac team principal after abrupt shakeup
F1's paddock will welcome a new - yet familiar - face when it returns from the summer break, with Marcin Budkowski taking on his first race weekend as Cadillac's team principal at Zandvoort.
Graeme Lowdon was tasked with building Cadillac from the ground up. And that is meant literally, as he oversaw the construction of the new F1 team's facilities and the recruitment of key personnel, including its two drivers, Sergio Perez and Valtteri Bottas.
It was a mammoth task completed in a remarkably short timeframe – particularly by the standards and scale of today's F1 teams – and Cadillac has since enjoyed a solid debut on the grid as the 11th team. It comfortably stayed ahead of established outfit Aston Martin until the latter finally introduced a major upgrade package at the previous round in Hungary.
However, Cadillac F1 CEO Dan Towriss decided that Lowdon's tenure had run its course and, as he later explained, made the unilateral decision to put Budkowski in charge of the outfit.
The French-educated Pole brings decades of experience and leadership roles, having worked with teams including Ferrari, McLaren and Alpine, as well as serving in the FIA's F1 technical department.
He now faces the task of taking Cadillac into the next phase of its project: becoming a genuine midfield contender, a process the outfit's management appears keen to make as short as possible.
