拉塞尔解释马德里F1排位赛仅列第六的原因
在F1西班牙大奖赛排位赛中，乔治·拉塞尔仅列第六，而梅赛德斯队友、争冠对手基米·安东内利则取得第二名。拉塞尔在马德里新街道赛道的Q1中做出最快圈速，但在随后两个阶段未能像对手那样显著提升成绩，最终排名第六，落后领先者约0.3秒。
拉塞尔 解释了他如何在 马德里赛道 F1 排位赛中仅获得第六名
Russell 的争冠之路再遭打击，他在马德里排位赛中比队友 Antonelli 慢了四个名次
拉塞尔 解释了他在 F1 西班牙大奖赛排位赛中糟糕的表现，他最终仅获得第六名，而梅赛德斯队友兼争冠对手 安东内利 则获得第二名。
Russell 在马德里新街道赛道的 Q1 中跑出最快圈速，但在接下来两个阶段中未能像对手那样显著提升。他在 Q2 和 Q3 中均排名第六，比队友慢了约零点三秒。
但这会不会与拉塞尔在Q1中用左前轮擦到墙壁有关？那次擦墙的方式，与导致亚历山大·阿尔本在FP3因损坏而提前结束练习的事故非常相似。
“我不这么认为，因为我在Q1的下一圈更快，”这位英国车手告诉天空体育F1。
他在对文字媒体讲话时补充道：“显然，当时我有点担心，但赛车没问题。之后我在本节排位赛中跑出最快成绩，然后感觉就进入了竞争节奏。
“但就是最后一圈，我当时快了大约零点三秒，在11号弯尝试用力推进，轮胎承受不住，然后[我]就丢掉了之后所有的圈速。所以那有点烦人。”
“这是一条非常艰难的赛道，”他也对Sky表示。“你几乎需要以略低于极限的速度驾驶，然后再压榨出最后那一点，而今天这让我付出了代价。”
据梅赛德斯车队领队Toto Wolff称，Russell还因为在马德里赛道这条信心至关重要的赛道上进行了大量调校改动而受到影响。
“在排位赛中，后轴过热，雪上加霜，”Wolff对奥地利广播公司ORF表示。“之前并不是这样。
“他还在赛前拆掉了一些前翼，然后在赛中又装了回去。这样一来，你其实不太清楚赛车会有什么表现。通常，在街道赛道上，你需要一圈又一圈地跑才能更贴近护墙。改变调校显然对此没有帮助。”
考虑到 Russell 在车手积分榜上已经落后 Antonelli 66 分，他明天确实需要取得一个好成绩，那么他能在比赛中有所进展吗？
“我认为轮胎磨损无论如何都会决定比赛走向，”他告诉 Sky。“要么没有磨损，比赛变成一场列队巡游，要么磨损非常高，比赛会相当混乱。所以这肯定会是关键的时刻。”

George Russell explains how he ended up a lowly sixth in Madring F1 qualifying
Russell’s title bid takes another hit as he qualifies four spots behind team-mate Antonelli in Madrid
George Russell has explained his poor qualifying performance in Formula 1’s Spanish Grand Prix, having ended up a lowly sixth while Mercedes team-mate and title rival Kimi Antonelli took second.
Russell set the pace in Q1 at Madrid’s new street circuit but failed to improve as significantly as his opponents in the next two segments. He was sixth-quickest, some three tenths down on his team-mate, in both Q2 and Q3.
But could this be linked to Russell brushing the wall with his front-left tyre in Q1, in very similar way to the incident that ended Alex Albon’s running in FP3 due to damage?
“I don't think so, because my following lap in Q1 we were quicker,” the Briton told Sky Sports F1.
He added, speaking to the written press: “Obviously, I was slightly concerned in the moment, but the car was fine. I went out on top of the session afterwards and then felt in the mix thereafter.
“But just the last lap, I was about three tenths up, tried pushing hard in Turn 11, the tyres couldn’t take it, and then [I] lost all the lap time thereafter. So that was a bit annoying.”
“It's a really tough circuit,” he also told Sky. “You almost need to drive a little bit below the limit, then extract that last little bit, and that cost me today.”
According to Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff, Russell was also hindered by numerous set-up changes at a Madring track where confidence was key.
“In qualifying, the rear axle was overheating, on top of everything,” Wolff told Austrian broadcaster ORF. “That wasn't the case before.
“He also took some front wing off before the session, then put it back in during the session. And then you don't really know what to expect from the car. Normally, on street circuits, you need to drive lap after lap to get closer to the walls. Changing the set-up obviously doesn't help with that.”
Russell does need a good result tomorrow, given he’s already 66 points adrift of Antonelli in the drivers’ standings, so can he make progress in the race?
“I think tyre deg is going to define it one way or another,” he told Sky. “It will either be no deg, and there will be a procession, or there will be really high deg, and it will be pretty chaotic. So that's for sure going to be the big moment.”
