维斯塔潘患流感样疾病，赞德福特暴露红牛根本问题
维斯塔潘在排位赛后承认身体不适，有流感样症状；同时红牛小红牛22在赞德福特暴露出根本性弱点，他仅列第七，落后杆位诺里斯超过0.4秒。
维斯塔潘患“流感样”疾病，赞德福特暴露红牛根本问题
这位红牛车手表示自己感觉并未完全恢复，主要期待能睡一觉——而据这位荷兰车手所说，赞德福特也暴露了小红牛22的一些根本性局限。
自2021年荷兰大奖赛回归赛历以来，马克斯·维斯塔潘已三次夺冠，他已然可以回顾一段非常成功的时期。但2026年的最后一届赛事迄今为止却成了一场煎熬，无论是红牛的速度还是维斯塔潘的身体状况都是如此。
“我以前感觉更好过，是的，”维斯塔潘在排位赛后于围场举行的荷兰媒体发布会上承认。“我感觉有点流感样症状，就是没有平常那么有精力。”
当被问及这是否也影响他驾驶时的表现时，他继续说道：“不，我不这么认为。我觉得一旦坐进车里，其实就没事了。”
但这确实意味着维斯塔潘正在以某种不同的方式经历他的最后一场主场比赛，他主要期待能休息的那一刻：“当然，我仍然享受看台上所有的车迷，但除此之外，我主要期待能睡一觉。”
为什么赞德福特暴露了红牛的一些根本性问题
除了维斯塔潘的身体状况，红牛在这条沙丘中的赛道上也在为性能苦苦挣扎。这位主场英雄只能接受排位第七，在排位赛中落后杆位得主兰多·诺里斯超过0.4秒。
“冲刺赛后我们对赛车做了相当多的调整，但没有任何效果，”维斯塔潘在接受Autosport采访时说。
据维斯塔潘所说，赞德福特赛道以夸张的方式暴露了红牛的一些弱点。
“赛车的平衡是最大的问题。它在整个弯道中就是不一致，但整个赛季都是这样。只是在某些赛道上比其他赛道稍微更糟一些。”
在这方面，赞德福特是一条比大多数赛道都更能暴露小红牛22弱点的赛道。
“这有时取决于路面，但也取决于赛道布局。这条赛道肯定不是最适合我们的布局，但我们就是需要努力解决它。我们可以猜测哪条赛道可能会稍微好一点，但我们需要尝试把它彻底消除。”
维斯塔潘补充说，在他看来，这与调校关系不大，因为红牛在这方面已经尝试了一切：“我认为我们现在只是更多地受限于赛车的一些根本性问题，这些是我们需要解决的。
“在这条赛道上也有一些高速弯，我们在那里也很吃力。总的来说，如果你没有好的平衡，你就无法真正攻击弯道。如果你也没有牵引力，你就无法正常出弯，所以所有这些都会损失时间。”
这意味着维斯塔潘认为在正常情况下，第七名是周日所能取得的最好结果，尤其是在没有下雨引发混乱的情况下。
如果没有雨，维斯塔潘认为第七名就是他在最后一场主场比赛中所能期望的最好结果。
这可能不是他所希望的赞德福特告别方式，尽管这位四届世界冠军强调，荷兰大奖赛时代整体上已经是一个巨大的成功。
“这绝对是一个时代的终结，”他说。“拥有自己的主场比赛，并且能够几次赢得它，是非常特别的。当然，它要离开了，这很遗憾，但另一方面，它也给了我很多伟大的时刻和回忆。”
是否还会再添一个难忘的时刻仍有待观察，但维斯塔潘最后采取了务实的态度。
“我真的只有在我们获胜时才满意，但明天那会非常困难，”他说。“整个赛季我们都稍微太慢了，这在赞德福特不会突然改变，但我们就是会努力最后一次享受它。”

Verstappen suffering from "flu-like" illness as Zandvoort exposes Red Bull's fundamental problems
The Red Bull driver says he is not feeling completely fit and is mainly looking forward to getting some sleep - while Zandvoort also exposes some fundamental limitations of the RB22, according to the Dutch driver
With three victories since the Dutch Grand Prix returned to the calendar in 2021, Max Verstappen can already look back on a very successful period. The final edition in 2026 has proven an ordeal so far, both in terms of Red Bull’s pace and Verstappen’s physical condition.
"I've felt better before, yes," Verstappen admitted during the Dutch media session in the paddock after qualifying. "I feel a bit flu-like and I’m just not feeling as much energy as normal."
Asked whether that also affects his performance behind the wheel, he continued: "No, I don’t think so. I think once you’re in the car, it’s actually fine."
It does mean Verstappen is experiencing his final home race somewhat differently and is mainly looking forward to the moment he can get some rest: "Of course I still enjoy all the fans in the grandstands, but apart from that, I’m mostly looking forward to getting some sleep."
Why Zandvoort exposes some fundamental Red Bull problems
Aside from Verstappen’s physical condition, Red Bull is also struggling for performance at the circuit in the dunes. The home hero had to settle for seventh on the grid and was more than four tenths behind polesitter Lando Norris in qualifying.
"We changed quite a lot on the car after the sprint, but none of it made any difference," Verstappen said when asked by Autosport.
According to Verstappen, the Zandvoort circuit exposes some of Red Bull’s weaknesses to an exaggerated degree
"The balance of the car is the biggest problem. It’s just not consistent throughout the entire corner, but it has been like that all season. It’s just a little worse at some circuits than at others."
In that respect, Zandvoort is a track that exposes the RB22’s weaknesses more than most.
"It depends on the tarmac sometimes, but also on the layout of the track. This one is for sure not our best layout, but we just need to work on it. We can guess on what track it might be a little bit better, but we need to try and just dial it out."
Verstappen added that, in his view, it is not so much related to set-up, as Red Bull has tried everything in that respect: "I think we’re now simply more limited by some fundamental problems with the car that we need to solve.
"At this circuit you also have some fast corners and we’re lacking there as well. In general, if you don’t have a good balance, you can’t really attack the corners. And if you don’t have traction either, you can’t get out of the corners properly, so all of that costs time."
It means Verstappen considers seventh place the maximum achievable result on Sunday under normal circumstances, particularly if there is no chaos caused by rain.
Without rain, Verstappen reckons that P7 will be the best he can hope for in his final home race
It may not be the Zandvoort farewell he had hoped for, although the four-time world champion stresses that the Dutch GP era as a whole has already been a great success.
"It’s absolutely the end of an era," he said. "To have had your own home race and to have been able to win it a few times is very special. Of course, it’s a shame that it’s going away, but on the other hand, it has also given me a lot of great moments and memories."
Whether another memorable moment will be added remains to be seen, but Verstappen took a pragmatic view in conclusion.
"I’m really only satisfied when we win, but that’s going to be very difficult tomorrow," he said. "We’ve been a little too slow throughout this season and that’s not suddenly going to change in Zandvoort, but we’re just going to try to enjoy it one last time."
