F1 2026赛季中期评分：小红牛惊艳中游集团
Motorsport.com对2026年F1赛季上半程的全部11支车队进行评分。接下来是小红牛，它已成为中游最稳定的表现者
小红牛在2025年追平了其历史最佳战绩第六名，但新赛季开始时仍充满问号。作为F1中规模较小的车队之一，巨大的规则变革是一次重大的压力测试，而对第六名的激烈争夺使其比几家直接竞争对手更晚启动2026年赛车的研发。
此外还有巨大的未知数：由红牛福特动力部门研发、与母队红牛共享的全新动力单元，以及新秀因素——车队派出了2026年唯一的新人、少年Arvid Lindblad。
进入夏休期之前，小红牛 凭借升级后的 VCARB 03 稳居中游集团之首，在布达佩斯的停摆前最后一个分站周末之后反超了 阿尔派。这支英意车队在赛季上半程收获了66分，以前所未有的第五名收官，因此获得B级评价。
不过赛季初并非如此。小红牛 在澳大利亚表现出色，Lindblad 首秀便获得第八名并拿到积分，但随着 阿尔派 逐渐走上正轨，这支 Enstone 车队凭借 Gasly 连续四站跻身前七而实现反超。
但在加拿大蒙特利尔——调整后的2026年赛历的第五站——一次关键的底板升级让 小红牛 迈出重要一步，使车队成为中游集团中表现最稳定的一员，而 阿尔派 则逐渐掉队。自加拿大大奖赛以来，小红牛 至少有一台赛车在每一站的排位赛中都进入 Q3，车队共有五次双车拿分，其车手仅在比利时站有一次掉出前十。
一套扎实的赛车套件——得益于表现超出预期的动力单元——让 劳森 得以充分展现自己，这位新西兰车手目前排名积分榜第九，终于在同一支车队迎来了整个完整赛季的稳定。在维修间的另一侧，Lindblad 从头到尾都表现令人印象深刻，并在多个场合紧咬 Lawson，导致在奥地利和比利时出现了几次激烈的队内竞争。
这一部分没什么好报告的，因为守住第五名对小红牛来说几乎已是意料之中的上限。阿尔派在夏季之后进一步升级、再度扭转局面的可能性完全存在，但即使只是追平第六名也将是一个积极的结果。
车队需要应对的是两名车手将他们友好但充满竞争的关系提升到新的层次，而背景是车队肩负着为红牛培养年轻车手的使命。随着青训车手Nikita Tsolov蓄势待发，这位保加利亚少年在F2中的表现令人印象深刻，无论有没有精明苛刻的前顾问Helmut Marko监督青训项目，两名车手身上要拿出表现的压力都丝毫没有消失。
领队Alan Permane表示：“去年我们也在为第六名而战，这对我们来说非常重要，所以我们在2026年赛车上起步稍晚。我们感觉前几场比赛会有些艰难。我们在墨尔本带来了一个很大的升级包，并且整个赛季都在持续升级赛车。我认为真正让赛车焕然一新的，是我们带到蒙特利尔的地板。”
“帮助我们的赛季取得进步的第二个方面是找到了正赛节奏。在加拿大的排位赛中我们有一辆非常不错的赛车，但在正赛中表现就不那么好了。摩纳哥非常类似，巴塞罗那也很类似。奥地利和银石表明我们已经解决了这个问题。这是风洞、设计和生产各部门所交付成果的结合，也有一部分是车队小伙子们在赛道上调校赛车的方式带来的。”

F1 2026 mid-season grades: Racing Bulls stuns midfield pack
Motorsport.com grades all 11 teams after the first half of the 2026 Formula 1 season. Next in line is Racing Bulls, which has emerged as the most reliable midfield performer
Racing Bulls equalled its best-ever result of sixth place in 2025, but started the new campaign with plenty of question marks. As one of F1's smaller teams, the huge regulation change was a big stress test and its closely-fought battle for sixth saw it start its 2026 car development later than several direct competitors.
Then there was the huge unknown of its brand-new power unit developed by Red Bull Ford Powertrains, which it shares with parent team Red Bull, and the rookie factor in the team fielding the only newcomer of 2026, teenager Arvid Lindblad.
Heading into the summer break, Racing Bulls finds itself atop the midfield with its upgraded VCARB 03, having overhauled Alpine after the final weekend before the shutdown in Budapest. The Anglo-Italian amassed 66 points to end the first half of the season in an unprecedented fifth place, earning it a B grade.
The season didn't start that way, however. Racing Bulls showed well in Australia, with debut points for eight-placed Lindblad, but as Alpine sorted itself out the Enstone squad leapt clear thanks to four consecutive top seven spots for Gasly.
But a crucial floor upgrade in Montreal, the fifth round of the rejigged 2026 calendar, saw Racing Bulls take a major step that turned the team into the most reliable midfield performer as Alpine faded. Since Canada, at least one Racing Bulls car has reached Q3 at every round and the team scored double points on five occasions, with one of its drivers finishing outside the top 10 just once in Belgium.
A solid package, thanks to a better-than-expected power unit, has allowed Liam Lawson to put his best foot forward, with the New Zealander ninth in the standings as he finally gets the stability of a full season at the same team. On the other side of the garage, Lindblad has impressed from start to finish and has run Lawson close on several occasions, leading to a few close intra-team battles in Austria and Belgium.
There's little to report in this section, as holding down fifth is about as much as can be expected from Racing Bulls. There is every chance that further upgrades from Alpine after the summer will turn the tables once more, but even equalling sixth would be a positive result.
What the team will have to navigate is its two drivers taking their friendly but competitive rivalry to the next level, against the background of the squad's mission to train young drivers for Red Bull. With junior driver Nikita Tsolov waiting in the wings and the Bulgarian teenager impressing in F2, the pressure on both drivers to perform hasn't gone anywhere, with or without hard-nosed former advisor Helmut Marko overseeing the junior programme.
Alan Permane, team principal: "We were in our own championship fight last year for that sixth place, and that was very important to us, so we started a little bit late on the 2026 car. We felt the first races were going to be a bit of a struggle. We brought a very large upgrade for Melbourne, and we’ve continued to upgrade the car through the season. I think what really switched the car on was the floor we brought to Montreal.
"The second part of what’s really helped our season is finding the race pace. We had a very nice car in Canada in qualifying, but it wasn’t so good in the race. Monaco was very similar, Barcelona very similar. What Austria and Silverstone have shown is that we’ve fixed that. It’s a combination of what has been delivered from the wind tunnel, design and production, and a little bit of the way the guys are running the car at the track."
