汉密尔顿为法拉利辩护，回应“悲观论调”批评
刘易斯·汉密尔顿认为，如果法拉利能在车手锦标赛中进入前三名，本赛季仍可被视为“巨大成就”。面对近期的挫折，他呼吁批评者“看到车队今年的积极面”。
刘易斯·汉密尔顿：法拉利车手在F1锦标赛中瞄准乔治·拉塞尔，同时为车队本赛季辩护
“我认为还必须考虑我们去年所处的位置以及今年所达到的位置，”刘易斯·汉密尔顿在谈及法拉利逐渐消退的争冠希望时表示；周四阿塞拜疆大奖赛的练习赛将于上午9：30和下午1点在天空体育 F1直播
刘易斯·汉密尔顿表示，他相信车队能够取得进步，因为他正努力追求“更干净”的比赛周末。
刘易斯·汉密尔顿认为，如果法拉利能在车手锦标赛中进入前三名，本赛季仍可被视为“巨大成就”，并呼吁批评者“看到车队今年的积极面”，尽管近期遭遇挫折。
汉密尔顿和法拉利今年赢得世界冠军的希望在过去几场比赛中逐渐消退，这位英国车手自7月初的英国大奖赛以来再未登上领奖台。
上一场在马德里的比赛中，他本赛季首次退赛，排名第三的汉密尔顿本赛季首次落后领跑的基米·安东内利超过100分，这位七届冠军几乎已经放弃了争冠。

安东内利在积分榜榜首对梅赛德斯队友乔治·拉塞尔的领先优势为81分。
在被问及本周末阿塞拜疆大奖赛（本赛季23轮中的第15轮）自己的争冠前景时，汉密尔顿说：“嗯，我的意思是，他领先我101分。”
“仅仅两场比赛他就从我这里追回了大约40多分，而我们一直在努力只在这里或那里拿到几分。”
“还有很长的路要走，我认为我的重点是，如果我们能保住第二——如果无法以某种方式追上梅赛德斯——在车队积分榜上，我认为那将是了不起的。”

“我认为还必须考虑我们去年所处的位置以及今年所达到的位置，虽然有时看起来像是悲观沮丧，但实际上你必须看到积极面。”
法拉利经历了2025赛季无胜的征程，并在车队锦标赛中跌至第四，汉密尔顿本人也经历了在法拉利的首个艰难赛季，职业生涯首次未能登上领奖台。
但他在6月的西班牙大奖赛上首次夺冠，查尔斯·勒克莱尔随后在银石赛道两场比赛后也取得胜利。
刘易斯·汉密尔顿在赢得巴塞罗那-加泰罗尼亚大奖赛后，以时尚的方式庆祝了他为法拉利的首场胜利，在香槟喷洒开始前将奖杯抛向空中。
汉密尔顿补充道：“我们一直在战斗，我们赢得了比赛和领奖台，车队在带来升级方面做了令人难以置信的工作，所以你真的必须承认我们今年所做的好的方面。”
“我知道很多人关注负面。对我来说，再次强调，如果我能与乔治竞争并以某种方式超过他，这将非常困难，因为梅赛德斯是领先者……如果在年底，能够保持在前三名，甚至第二，我认为对我们车队来说将是一个巨大的成就。”
汉密尔顿在积分榜上落后前梅赛德斯队友拉塞尔20分。
法拉利在比赛周末初期一直显得有竞争力，但车队近期的成绩常常因自身可控范围内的运营和策略问题而受到影响。
“我认为过去几场比赛有积极面可以汲取，只是它们并非——我会说——在执行方面最好的，我们也没有取得最好的成绩，”汉密尔顿说。
刘易斯·汉密尔顿在西班牙大奖赛被迫提前退赛。
“但我们把积极面向前推进，并努力从我们不够好的方面学习。我相信我们能够取得进步，我认为我们已经做到了。”
拉塞尔：我有信心能再次为胜利而战
两周前的西班牙大奖赛上，拉塞尔也落后安东内利达到赛季最大差距，安东内利赢得了最近两场大奖赛，使他在迄今为止非凡的第二个F1赛季中总胜场达到八场。
拉塞尔，赛季前的夺冠热门，公开谈论了他在将自然驾驶风格与全新的2026赛车融合方面的困难，但相信情况正在改善，周三在巴库表示“我一直在取得非常好的进展，有信心能再次为胜利而战”。
他强调在相对稳定的冬季规则过渡到2027年之前，在本赛季剩余时间继续保持这一趋势的重要性。
“我认为尝试解决一些问题非常重要，正如我之前提到的，我对夏季休赛期以来的进展感到满意，”拉塞尔说。
F1车手们在宣布摩纳哥大奖赛明年将举办冲刺赛后就此事分享了各自的看法。
“比赛节奏，曾经是一个弱点，现在已经大幅改善，并且自休赛期以来的每一场比赛中都处于竞争之中。”

Lewis Hamilton: Ferrari driver sets sights on George Russell in F1 championship amid defence of team's season
"I think it's also just having to think about where we were last year and where we've come to this year," says Lewis Hamilton on Ferrari's fading title challenge; watch Thursday's practice sessions for the Azerbaijan Grand Prix at 9.30am and 1pm, live on Sky Sports F1
Lewis Hamilton says he believes the team can make improvements as he strives for 'cleaner' weekends.
Lewis Hamilton believes Ferrari's season can still rank as a "huge achievement" if they finish in the top three of the Drivers' Championship, asking critics to "look at the positives" of the team's year despite recent setbacks.
Hamilton and Ferrari's hopes of winning this years world title have faded in recent races, with the Briton not finishing on the podium since the British Grand Prix at the start of July.
A first race retirement of the season last time out in Madrid saw third-placed Hamilton fall over 100 points back on championship-leading Kimi Antonelli for the first time this season, with the seven-time champion all-but conceding the title.

Antonelli's overall lead at the top of the standings is 81 points over Mercedes team-mate George Russell.
Asked about his own championship prospects heading into weekend's Azerbaijan Grand Prix, the season's 15th of a scheduled 23 rounds, Hamilton said: "Well, I mean, he's 101 points ahead of me.
"Just in two races he gained something like 40-odd points on me, and we've been working so hard to gain just a couple of points here and there.
"There is still a long way to go and I think the focus for me is, if we can hold on to second - if not somehow catch Mercedes - for the constructors', I think that would be remarkable.

Craig Slater breaks down the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, including why the race takes place on a Saturday, while doing his best Craig David impression!
"I think it's also just having to think about where we were last year and where we've come to this year and whilst it sometimes seems doom and gloom, you actually have to look at the positives."
Ferrari endured a winless 2025 campaign and slipped to fourth in the Constructors' Championship, with Hamilton himself experiencing a difficult first campaign in red with no podiums for the first time in his career.
But he won for the first time at June's Spanish Grand Prix, with Charles Leclerc triumphing two races later at Silverstone.
Lewis Hamilton celebrated his first Ferrari victory in style after winning the Barcelona-Catalunya GP, throwing his trophy into the air before the champagne spray began.
Hamilton added: "We've been fighting, we've had wins and podiums, the team have done an incredible job in terms of bringing upgrades, so you really have to acknowledge the good things that we've done this year.
"I know lots of people focus on the negatives. For me, again, if I can battle with George and somehow get ahead of him, which would be very difficult as Mercedes are the leaders... if at the end of the year, managing to stay in the top three, even second, I think would be a huge achievement for us as a team."
Hamilton is 20 points behind Russell, his former Mercedes team-mate, in the standings.
Ferrari have consistently looked competitive early on in race weekends but the team's recent results have often been compromised by operational and strategic issues within their own control.
"I think there's positives to take out of the last few races, it's just they haven't been, I would say, the best in terms of execution and we've not had the best results," said Hamilton.
Lewis Hamilton was forced to retire early at the Spanish Grand Prix.
"But the positives we take forwards and we try and learn from the areas we weren't as good. I believe we can make improvements and I think we have.
Russell: I feel confident I can fight for victories again
The Spanish Grand Prix a fortnight ago also saw Russell fall a season-high margin behind Antonelli, who has won the last two grands prix to take his tally to eight overall in an extraordinary second campaign of F1 so far.
Russell, the pre-season title favourite, has spoken openly about his difficulties in meshing his natural driving style to the all-new 2026 cars but believes the situation is improving, saying in Baku on Wednesday that "I've been making very good progress and feel confident I can fight for victories again".
He underlined the importance of continuing that trend all through the rest of this season ahead relatively stable winter of regulations into 2027.
"I think it is very important to try and resolve some issues, which, as I mentioned before, I think I've been pleased with that progress since the summer break," said Russell.
F1 drivers share their opinions following the announcement that the Monaco Grand Prix will get a Sprint race next year.
"The race pace, which was a weakness, has been substantially better and has been in the mix every single race since the break.
