红牛回应维斯塔潘无线电抱怨：“我们显然有问题”
意大利大奖赛周五练习赛中，红牛两辆赛车成绩落后于小红牛和哈斯，维斯塔潘通过无线电大量抱怨赛车问题，技术总监皮埃尔·瓦什承认车队确实存在与赞德沃特类似的平衡问题。
“我们显然存在问题”——红牛回应马克斯·维斯塔潘的车载电台抱怨
技术总监皮埃尔·瓦什承认，红牛正在与类似于赞德沃特那一站的平衡问题作斗争。此外，在蒙扎优化红牛的能源管理方面也还有工作要做
意大利大奖赛周五的自由练习对红牛来说绝不顺利。赛前本来希望蒙扎的赛道布局会比赞德沃特更适合车队，但在周五练习结束后，两辆红牛赛车都落后于一辆小红牛（阿维德·林德布拉德）和一辆哈斯（奥利弗·比尔曼）
马克斯·维斯塔潘在第一次练习赛中把座位让给了岩左步，但当他第二次练习中坐进小红牛22的驾驶舱后，抱怨的清单很长。这位四届世界冠军在很多方面都遇到了困难，包括刹车问题、尾部下压力不足，以及赛车在调校修改后出现严重弹跳
技术总监皮埃尔·瓦什承认，如果红牛想要扭转在速度圣殿（蒙扎）的比赛周末局面，还有很多工作要做。
当Motorsport.com问及维斯塔潘在无线电中的抱怨时，瓦什说：“我认为很明显我们的赛车存在平衡问题，这是最主要的事情。”
“说实话，这有点像赞德沃特的情况，我们正在努力弄清楚问题所在。我们尝试通过调校和赛车部件用不同的方式来解决它。”
后面这一点可能暗示，蒙扎的平衡问题至少部分与国际汽联文件中列出的升级部件有关——尽管对底板（bib）和前翼的改动可能很小——但按照瓦什的说法，问题的根源更为深层。
“不，我的意思是我们会评估一些部件，之后我们需要在最近几场比赛中已有的不同部件之间做出一些选择。我认为我们必须在这方面做出一些选择。”
维斯塔潘抱怨了若干问题，其中包括小红牛22后部缺乏抓地力
据瓦谢说，维斯塔潘错过了本周末的第一次自由练习，这方面没有起到帮助作用，这意味着红牛从他那里获得的数据和反馈比平时略少。
“平衡问题是我们目前主要在解决的事情，”他说，“马克斯没有参加第一次自由练习、直接在第二次自由练习才上车，这没什么帮助。我们的反应时间变少了，但现在我们必须为第三次自由练习做出反应。”
红牛在蒙扎的练习赛中暴露出了另一个问题
这主要适用于赛车平衡方面，不过在能量管理方面也有改进空间。维斯塔潘在媒体日就已经表示，红牛在那一领域肯定不是标杆——即在能量匮乏的赛道上管理有限的可用能量。
岩佐表示，红牛在周五也在这一领域遇到了一些初期问题：
“实际上，我们发现了在准备圈、也就是推进圈之前不应该出现的问题。但这是好事，对于我们车队整个周末剩余的比赛来说，这是一次很好的学习。”
"这更多是和能量相关的问题。我认为大家都在寻找更好的方向，我觉得在这条赛道上这就是比赛的一部分。但这是好事，因为如果我们没有在第一次自由练习中发现它，可能之后才会发现。"
这位24岁的日本车手也立刻感受到了与维斯塔潘相同的平衡问题。
"是的，我在第一次自由练习之后也说了同样的问题。基本上赛车在低速时感觉还可以，但在高速时非常难驾驭，就像一种前后脱节的车身平衡感，"他说。
"说实话，在第一次自由练习中，我跑的圈数不多，所以我没有达到赛车的极限，但我仍然感受到了和他类似的局限性。"
岩佐被允许在第一节自由练习中代替维斯塔潘出场，并报告了同样的问题。
红牛近年来在扭转艰难比赛周末方面建立了出色的履历，但瓦谢表示，这并没有让他对本周末有太多信心。
他说：“我从不自信，否则你将永远无法取得任何成就。但这就是我们正在努力做的事情，全队都在为实现这个目标而努力工作。”
能量管理方面并不是瓦谢当下担心的问题，但今晚在蒙扎和迈尔顿凯恩斯的工厂里，在平衡性方面还有大量工作要做。
“这不应该是一个需要担心的问题，也就是能量管理的问题。我认为这正是自由练习存在的意义，先去发现并突出这个问题，然后再去解决它，”他说。
“我认为在这个方面这是一个正常的比赛周末，但对于维斯塔潘和我来说，主要的担忧是赛车的平衡。”

"We clearly have an issue" – Red Bull responds to Max Verstappen's radio complaints
Technical director Pierre Wache admits Red Bull is struggling with balance issues similar to those in Zandvoort. There is also work to do to optimise Red Bull’s energy management in Monza
Friday ahead of the Formula 1 Italian Grand Prix was far from trouble-free for Red Bull. There had been hope beforehand that Monza’s layout would suit the team better than Zandvoort, but after Friday practice both Red Bulls were behind a Racing Bulls (Arvid Lindblad) and a Haas (Oliver Bearman).
Max Verstappen gave up his seat to Ayumu Iwasa during first practice, but once he got behind the wheel of the RB22 in the second session, the list of complaints was long. The four-time world champion struggled, among other things, with the brakes, a lack of rear downforce and a car that was bouncing heavily after set-up changes.
Technical director Pierre Wache admits Red Bull has plenty of work to do if it is to turn the race weekend at the Temple of Speed around.
"I think that clearly we have a balance issue on the car, that is the main thing," Wache said when asked by Motorsport.com about Verstappen’s radio complaints.
"It’s a little bit like Zandvoort, to be honest, and we try to understand what the issue is. We try to fix it in a different way by set-up and car components."
The latter could suggest that the balance issues in Monza are at least partly related to the upgrades listed in the FIA document – however small the changes to the bib and front wing may be – but according to Wache, the issue is more fundamental than that.
"No, I mean that we will evaluate some components and afterwards we have some choices to make between different components [that we have] since a few races. I think we have to make some choices on that."
Verstappen complained, amongst other things, about a lack of grip at the rear of the RB22
According to Wache, it has not helped in that respect that Verstappen missed this weekend’s first practice session, meaning Red Bull has slightly less data and feedback from him than usual.
"The balance issue is the main thing we’re working on," he said. "It doesn't help when Max is not driving during FP1 and jumps in the car for FP2. We have less time to react, but now we have to react for FP3."
Another issue emerged for Red Bull in Monza practice
That applies above all to the car balance, although there is also room for improvement in terms of energy management. Verstappen already said during media day that Red Bull is certainly not the benchmark in that area – managing the limited amount of energy available at energy-starved circuits.
Iwasa says Red Bull also encountered some teething problems in that area on Friday:
"Actually we found something that we should not find with our preparation in the lap before the push lap. But that is good, it is a good learning for the rest of the weekend as a team.
"It was more related to the energy stuff. I think everyone is trying to find a better direction, I think it's part of the game at this track. But it was good because if we didn't see it in FP1, then we might have seen it later on."
The 24-year-old Japanese driver also immediately felt the same balance issues as Verstappen.
"Yeah, I was saying the same stuff after FP1. Basically the car feels okay on low speed, but on high speed it was quite tricky to drive, like a kind of disconnected car balance," he said.
"Honestly, in FP1, I didn't have many laps, so I didn't reach the limit of the car, but still, I was feeling similar limitations as him."
Iwasa was allowed to replace Verstappen during the first practice session and reported the same problems
Red Bull has built a strong track record in recent years of turning difficult race weekends around, but Wache says that does not give him too much confidence for this weekend.
"I'm never confident, otherwise you will never achieve anything. But it is what we are trying to do and all the team are working hard to achieve it," he added.
The energy management aspect is not an immediate concern for Wache, but there is plenty of work to be done on the balance tonight, both in Monza and back at the factory in Milton Keynes.
"It should not be [a concern, the energy management problem]. I think it's why the free practice is there, to try and highlight the issue and then to fix it after that," he said.
"I think it's a normal weekend on that aspect, but for Max and for me the main concern is the balance."
