拉塞尔巴库夺冠后："我本来很容易失去信心"
拉塞尔在阿塞拜疆大奖赛夺得2026赛季个人第三胜，并收获职业生涯首个大满贯。他表示巴库的胜利结束了自己六个分站不胜的低谷，意义远超一项漂亮的数据。
乔治·拉塞尔在巴库重振旗鼓夺冠后表示：“我本来很容易失去信心”
乔治·拉塞尔解释了，为什么他对自己在2026年一级方程式赛季阿塞拜疆大奖赛上取得的第三场胜利感到如此骄傲
周六的阿塞拜疆大奖赛是乔治·拉塞尔在2026年一级方程式赛季中的第三场胜利，也是他职业生涯的第一次大满贯，但在巴库狂风席卷的街道上领跑每一圈，对这位梅赛德斯车手来说，其意义远不止一项炫目的数据
对拉塞尔而言，巴库结束了连续六个比赛周末无缘胜利的磨砺期，在此期间他更年轻的车队队友安东内利进一步确立了自己在锦标赛中的统治地位，其中最具代表性的是意大利人在蒙扎上演的令人难忘的逆转取胜，他从后方一路超车击败了拉塞尔
在这段时期，拉塞尔的韧性也经受了考验，他一直在努力适应2026年独特规则的要求，而20岁的安东内利似乎毫不费力就与梅赛德斯W17赛车一拍即合。
对于一位多年来一直耐心等待有竞争力赛车的车手来说，却在夺冠机会终于到来时被一位年轻人取代，阿塞拜疆的这场比赛周末对他而言是一剂振奋人心的强心针，回报了他为扭转局面而在幕后所做的努力，也证明他没有失去自信是正确的。
"感觉太棒了，"拉塞尔沉浸在自6月奥地利大奖赛以来的首场胜利中，"我为自己和与我紧密合作的工程师团队在今年艰难时期所展现出的韧性感到非常自豪，因为我们付出了大量努力去克服一些挑战，去调整我的驾驶风格以更好地适应这辆新赛车。
"F1竞争如此激烈，你没有机会去练习这些，而现在它终于变得比以前更凭直觉了，我的信心也在不断增强。尤其是在像这样的赛道上，它能让你在刹车时多挤出那么一点点，把车开得更贴近护墙，这是一个完美无瑕的比赛周末。"
在两次安全车让车群聚集之后，乔治·拉塞尔顶住了马克斯·维斯塔潘的猛烈追击。
他补充道："我从未失去过对自己的信心。即使在艰难的时刻，我也知道自己的速度掉下来是有原因的。并不是我突然就忘了怎么开车，我知道自己一定能重新找回状态。我只是需要保持耐心。"
虽然目前仍落后安东内利66分，这让争夺总冠军的反扑成为可能，但概率很低，不过拉塞尔至少感觉自己重新回到了同一起跑线，可以带着复制巴库那种状态的机会去迎接每一个比赛周末。
这位英国车手在顶住穷追不舍的马克斯·维斯塔潘、完成大满贯（从杆位起步、全程领跑并做出全场最快圈速的胜利）后坚称："我感觉很有信心。休赛期后的四场比赛里，我有三场都在头排发车，四场比赛拿了三个领奖台。我觉得现在自己可以周复一周地争夺胜利。"
"我想这可能是我在一级方程式的第一个大满贯（杆位、冠军、最快圈速和领跑全程），而且毫无疑问，这是我职业生涯中最有统治力的一个周末。所以，这一切来得正是时候。而且是在一条如此需要投入和自信的赛道上做到这一点，我真的感到非常骄傲。"
"这个赛季我本来很容易失去信心。不一定是说对赢得总冠军失去信心，而是对我自己的能力而言，但这种情况从来没有发生过。"

George Russell after rejuvenating Baku win: "It would have been very easy for me to lose the faith"
George Russell has explained why he is so proud of his third win of the 2026 Formula 1 campaign at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix
Saturday's Azerbaijan Grand Prix was George Russell's third victory of the 2026 Formula 1 campaign, and his first career grand slam, but leading every lap in the wind-swept streets of Baku meant much more to the Mercedes driver than just a fancy statistic.
For Russell, Baku ended a character building spell of six winless weekends in which his younger team-mate Kimi Antonelli only further asserted his dominance in the championship, underlined by a memorable comeback win in Monza where the Italian came through the field to defeat Russell.
Under the hood, it was also a period in which Russell's resilience was tested as he struggled to come to grips with the demands of 2026's unique regulations, while 20-year-old Antonelli appeared to just click with the Mercedes W17 seemingly without trying.
For a man who had been patiently waiting on competitive machinery for years, only to be usurped by a youngster when that title winning opportunity finally arrived, the Azerbaijan weekend was a rejuvenating tonic that rewarded the work he had been doing in the background to turn things around, and a confirmation that he was right not to lose his self-belief.
"It feels great," Russell basked in his first win since June's Austrian Grand Prix. "I’m very proud of the resilience that I and my close group of engineers have shown during the tough periods this year because there’s been a lot of hard work to overcome some of the challenges, to adapt my driving style to suit this new car better.
"F1 is so tough, you don’t get opportunities to practice this, and finally it’s coming to me a bit more intuitively than it once did, and I’m gaining confidence. And especially on circuits like this, it just allows you to eke out that little bit more on the brakes, get that little bit closer to the walls, and it’s been a flawless weekend."
George Russell held off a charging Max Verstappen after a double safety car bunched up the field.
He added: "I never lost that faith in myself. Even through the tough moments I knew there was a reason why I was off the pace. It wasn’t like I just suddenly forgot how to drive, and I knew I would be able to find it again. I just had to be patient."
While still trailing Antonelli by 66 points, which is making a title comeback a possibility but one with long odds, Russell at least felt like he was back on even footing, going into every race weekend with an opportunity to repeat his Baku form.
"I feel confident. It’s been four races since the break. I’ve been on the front row in three of them, three podiums from the four races. I feel I can fight for victory week-in, week-out now," the Briton insisted after holding off a hounding Max Verstappen to notch a grand slam, which is a win from pole while leading every lap and setting the fastest lap of the race.
"I think it’s probably my first grand slam in Formula 1 and, for sure, the most dominant weekend I’ve had in my career. So, that has come at a really great moment. And also to achieve it on a circuit that requires so much commitment and confidence, I’m really proud of it.
"It would have been very easy for me to lose the faith this season. Not necessarily about winning the championship, but in terms of my ability, and that never happened."
