“远不够好”——迈凯伦对荷兰大奖赛冲刺赛挣扎感到困惑
卫冕世界冠军兰多·诺里斯表示，迈凯伦在赞德福特冲刺赛中的低速弯道弱点使其表现“远不够好”，无法挑战胜利。
"远远不够好"——迈凯伦对荷兰大奖赛冲刺赛的挣扎感到困惑
兰多·诺里斯呼吁他的迈凯伦F1车队提升低速性能，此前他在荷兰大奖赛冲刺赛中处于被动
卫冕世界冠军兰多·诺里斯表示，迈凯伦在低速状态下的弱点意味着它在赞德福特冲刺赛中"远远不够好"，无法去争夺胜利
迈凯伦带着其最新升级包来到这座海滨赛道，升级重点集中在赛车尾部，包括一套新的尾翼组件，以延续其在匈牙利站助力夺胜的升级所带来的进步。
最初的迹象表明升级奏效了，周五迈凯伦有力争夺冲刺排位赛杆位，乔治·拉塞尔以不到0.1秒的优势击败了第二名诺里斯和第四快的奥斯卡·皮亚斯特里。
但在周六的比赛中，诺里斯并没有去追击拉塞尔，而是很快被法拉利的夏尔·勒克莱尔逼入防守，勒克莱尔是唯一使用软胎而非中性胎起步的前排车手。耐人寻味的是，勒克莱尔在这场24圈的比赛中并没有在软胎寿命末期衰减，反而不断施压，直到在第18圈开始时完成对诺里斯的超越。
迈凯伦在对手使用更容易衰退的轮胎的情况下后轮管理反而更差，这是一个危险信号，沃金车队正努力在周六下午排位赛前解决这一问题，各车队还有最后一次机会重新调整赛车设置。
迈凯伦车队领队安德里亚·斯特拉告诉天空体育：“我们必须承认，到目前为止，我们的表现似乎在单圈上要好于连续多圈。我们因为后轮衰退而损失了性能，还有一些低速性能需要改进。”
"我们需要查明为什么我们的后轮胎退化如此严重，这可能与赛车调校和整体驾驶风格有关，而不一定是轮胎配方的问题，所以确实有几个变量需要我们深入研究，并在本周末剩下的时间里进行优化。"
诺里斯（Norris）对他的MCL40在低速状态下的劣势感到沮丧，这使他无法匹敌拉塞尔（Russell）和勒克莱尔（Leclerc）。"总的来说我就是没有速度，尤其是在低速弯角，"他耸了耸肩说。"和其他车队相比，我们挣扎得太厉害了。到目前为止整个周末我们都是这样看到的。"
"我们无能为力。这辆车在高速时非常出色，但在低速时远远不够好，所以要跟上别人非常困难。我们在正赛中不能在高速路段过度压榨，因此也无法发挥我们的优势。"
他补充道："我想在布达佩斯我们就知道自己在高速弯很有优势，而在低速时相当糟糕，但我们还是赢了。这里极低速的弯角多得多。所以不，我一点也不惊讶。这完全在我们的预料之中。"
斯特拉表示，迈凯伦后轮的衰竭和它在低速状态下的表现很可能有关联，但他也指出，这个差距比最初预想的要严重。
"我们完全没有预料到这一点，"他承认道。"我们看到，在排位赛的叠加数据中，赛车现在在高速方面表现非常好，但低速显然仍是一个有待提升的领域。所以，我认为今天在多圈行驶中，这个低速方面的差距导致我们的轮胎衰竭，并让我们暴露在被其他赛车超越的风险之下。"
在另一辆迈凯伦赛车上，皮亚斯特里在发车时被基米·安东内利超越，并跟在这位意大利车手之后以第五名完赛。对于周六赛车缺乏竞争力这件事，他比诺里斯更加感到意外。
"我们的表现不太好，尤其是在那次冲刺赛的后半段，所以这有点令人意外，"这位澳大利亚车手说。
"昨天，我们觉得如果对我们两人来说单圈成绩能稍微好一点，我们本可以占据前排发车位，所以今天没有这样的速度有点令人意外。但希望我们能排位顺利，然后在明天坚持得更好一些。"

"Nowhere near good enough" - McLaren puzzled by Dutch GP sprint struggles
Lando Norris is calling on his McLaren Formula 1 team to improve its low-speed performance after being on the back foot in the Dutch Grand Prix sprint race
Reigning world champion Lando Norris says McLaren's low-speed weaknesses meant it was "nowhere near good enough" to challenge for victory in Zandvoort's sprint race.
McLaren arrived at the beach-side circuit with its latest upgrade package focusing on the rear of the car, including a new rear wing assembly, to build on the progress made by its race-winning Hungary upgrades.
The first indications pointed towards the upgrade working as expected, with McLaren firmly in the hunt for sprint pole on Friday as George Russell defeated both second-placed Norris and fourth-fastest Oscar Piastri by less than a tenth.
But instead of hunting down Russell in Saturday's race, Norris was quickly put on the defensive by Ferrari's Charles Leclerc, who was the only frontrunner to start on soft tyres rather than mediums. Intriguingly, Leclerc didn't fade on his softer tyres towards the end of the 24-lap contest, but actually increased the pressure until he could reel off an overtake on Norris at the start of lap 18.
McLaren's inferior rear tyre management against a competitor on more brittle tyres is a red flag which the Woking squad is trying to get on top of ahead of Saturday afternoon qualifying, with teams afforded one more chance to overhaul their car set-ups.
"We have to admit that our performance so far seems to be better over a single lap than in continuous laps," McLaren team principal Andrea Stella told Sky. "We were losing performance because of rear tyre degradation, some low-speed performance to improve.
"We need to look as to why we have so much rear tyre degradation, which rather than compound might have to do with car set-up and overall driving style, so certainly a few variables that we need to look into and optimise for the rest of the weekend."
Norris sounded frustrated by his MCL40's low-speed deficit which left him unable to match Russell and Leclerc. "I just don't have the pace in general, especially the slow-speed corners," he shrugged. "We struggled so much compared to the others. We saw that the whole weekend so far.
"There's nothing we can do. The car is very good in high speed and it's just nowhere near good enough for slow speed, so to be able to keep up was very difficult. We can't over-push in high speed during the race and therefore we can't optimise our strengths."
He added: "I think we knew in Budapest we were very good in high-speed corners and we were pretty terrible in slow speed, but we still managed to win. Here there's a lot more of the very, very slow speed. So no, I'm not surprised at all. It's exactly what we expected."
McLaren's rear tyre degradation and its low-speed performance are very likely linked, Stella says, but he did point out its deficit is more dramatic than first thought.
"We didn't expect it entirely," he acknowledged. "We saw that in qualifying in the overlays the car is now performing very well in high speed, but definitely low speed is still an area of opportunity. So, I think today over multiple laps this low-speed deficit meant that we were degrading the tyres and exposed us to being overtaken by other cars."
In the other McLaren, Piastri, who was passed at the start by Kimi Antonelli and followed the Italian home in fifth place, was also more surprised than Norris by his car's lack of competitiveness on Saturday.
"We didn't look great, especially in the second half of that sprint, so it's a little bit surprising," the Australian said.
"Yesterday, we thought with some slightly better laps for both of us we could have been on the front row, so it's a little bit surprising to not have the pace today. But hopefully we can qualify well and then hang on a bit better tomorrow."
