梅赛德斯长距离节奏明显领先：F1西班牙大奖赛练习赛长跑速度对比
在F1西班牙大奖赛周五练习赛中，乔治·拉塞尔在搭载大量燃油的情况下成为长距离速度最快的车手，红牛的马克斯·维斯塔潘经调整后每圈仅慢0.13秒。世界锦标赛领先者基米·安东内利位列长距离速度第三。
梅赛德斯明显领先：F1西班牙大奖赛练习赛中长距离节奏对比
在马德里赛道举办的首届西班牙大奖赛上，前排的格局已相当明朗：梅赛德斯在周五两次自由练习中均名列榜首，并在比赛节奏方面树立了标杆
乔治·拉塞尔是载油量较多的长距离测试中节奏最快 的车手。在周五练习赛中，他最接近的挑战者是红牛的马克斯·维斯塔潘。经过对不同轮胎配方和测试长度的调整后，这位荷兰车手每圈仅慢0.13秒
世界冠军积分榜领跑者基米·安东内利是长距离节奏第三快的车手，不过他每圈落后拉塞尔0.55秒
法拉利和迈凯伦在长距离模拟中的表现全面令人失望。两辆法拉利每圈比梅赛德斯慢约0.9秒，而皮亚斯特里的长距离表现甚至每圈慢了1.51秒。他的队友诺里斯由于技术问题未能完成任何长距离测试。
回顾上周末在意大利的比赛，竞争者们可能会格外担心。在那里，梅赛德斯在周五的长距离测试中还与法拉利不相上下，而迈凯伦则落后0.2秒。
然而到了正赛周日，银箭最终每圈比这两支车队快了0.8秒。
因此，梅赛德斯传统上似乎在周五的表现不如竞争对手，这对于周末剩余的比赛来说可能是个不祥之兆。不过也需保持谨慎，因为马德里的赛道是全新的，因此周六可以预期会有较大的调校改动。
在单圈速度上，竞争似乎也更加接近。如果把每位车手的最快计时段成绩相加，勒克莱尔 理论上可以以 1:33.478 做出最快圈。然而，在排名前六的车手中，只有 Arvid Lindblad 能够将所有最佳计段成绩合并在一个单圈之内。
梅赛德斯（梅赛德斯）是否拥有更好的电池管理？
尽管如此，问题依然存在：梅赛德斯的优势究竟来自哪里，尤其是在长距离测试中。答案似乎很明确：对手们在第三个计时段损失了太多时间。
在排位赛模拟中，梅赛德斯就已经能够在第三个计时段做出最快成绩，而在重载油的情况下，车队显然能将这一优势进一步扩大。
法拉利似乎跟不上梅赛德斯的节奏
从遥测数据来看，可以明显看出梅赛德斯在第一赛段使用的电池能量更少，但仍然只比对手慢一点点。然而在最后一个赛段，梅赛德斯拥有明显的尾速优势，这在长距离测试的调校中尤其能带来回报。
虽然梅赛德斯在最后一个赛段表现出色，法拉利可以在第一赛段拿到优势，而马克斯·维斯塔潘和红牛则在快速的第二赛段非常强劲。迈凯伦是唯一一支在所有三个赛段都持续偏慢的车队。
中游集团：哈斯是突然从哪里冒出来的？
小红牛 周五再次成为中游车队中的头条——而且有两个原因。
首先，Arvid Lindblad 在第二次练习赛中排名第四，仅落后最快圈速 0.228 秒。然而不久之后，他引发了一起严重撞车，导致红旗出现。
因此，小红牛 未能完成任何真正具有代表性的长距离测试。队友角田裕毅也执行了不同的测试计划，他在一个阶段内就完成了排位赛和正赛模拟，可能使用了较少的燃油载量。
这意味着 哈斯 实际上录得了中游车队中最佳的长距离节奏。奥康 在他的测试阶段中每圈仅比梅赛德斯的 Russell 慢 0.92 秒，这位法国车手实际上达到了与法拉利相当的水平。
阿尔派（+1.60）、奥迪（+2.20）、威廉姆斯（+2.58）、凯迪拉克（+4.00）和阿斯顿·马丁（+4.33）紧随其后，彼此之间存在着相当大的差距。
不过，考虑到这是马德里赛道的首次亮相，这里也需要保持谨慎。仍有很大的调整赛车的潜力，可能会改变整个格局。
“六次进站”：马德里的轮胎损耗有多严重？
周五的意外不仅仅是某些车队的表现。轮胎的表现也出乎意料。作为一条使用基本平整沥青路面的街道赛道，原本并不预期会出现较高的轮胎损耗。然而，现在情况可能正在发生变化。
“一开始很棘手，因为这条赛道抓地力非常强，尽管它是全新的沥青，”梅赛德斯车队领队托托·沃尔夫对Sky解释道。“有趣的是，我们遇到的问题和我们预期的正好相反。我们没法让轮胎进入工作温度。需要一圈之后情况才会稍微好一点。但当然，由于抓地力强，轮胎衰退非常惊人。”
当被更具体地追问时，沃尔夫谈到第一次自由练习赛中“每圈八分之一的衰退”。
“我们以前从未见过这种情况，”沃尔夫说。“我们的策略主管说需要六次进站。但我认为最终一次进站就足够了。”
托托·沃尔夫就西班牙站的轮胎衰退发出警告
尽管如此，在第二次自由练习赛的长距离测试中，轮胎衰退每圈也达到了约十分之三秒。目前来看，这更倾向于两次进站的比赛策略，而不是一次进站。
不过，更多的行驶会让赛道拥有更多抓地力，这可能会在整个周末期间减少轮胎的衰退。
轮胎状况究竟还有多不明确，从倍耐力赛车运动主管达里奥·马拉富斯基在接受Sky采访时截然相反的发言中也能看出来：
“沥青的抓地力非常好，所以我们的轮胎衰退很可能会比预期的要少。”
周末在马德里的后续进展将显示谁最终预言正确。

Mercedes clearly ahead: How long-run pace compared in F1 Spanish GP practice
At the inaugural Spanish GP at the Madring, a fairly clear picture appears to be emerging at the front as Mercedes topped both Friday free practice sessions and set down the marker in terms of race pace
George Russell was the fastest long-run driver with a lot of fuel on board. His closest challenger was Red Bull’s Max Verstappen over Friday’s practice sessions ahead of the Formula 1 Spanish Grand Prix. The Dutchman was just 0.13 seconds per lap slower after adjusting for different tyre compounds and stint lengths.
World championship leader Kimi Antonelli was the third-fastest long-run driver, although he was 0.55s per lap behind Russell.
Ferrari and McLaren were disappointing across the board in the race simulations. Both Ferraris were around nine tenths of a second per lap slower than Mercedes, while Oscar Piastri's long run was even 1.51s per lap slower. Team-mate Lando Norris was unable to complete any long runs due to technical problems.
The competition may be particularly concerned by a look back at last weekend in Italy. There, Mercedes was still level with Ferrari in the long runs on Friday, while McLaren was two tenths of a second off the pace.
On race Sunday, however, the Silver Arrows were ultimately eight tenths per lap faster than both teams.
Mercedes therefore traditionally appears to show less on Fridays than the competition, which could be a bad omen for the rest of the weekend. However, caution is also required, as the track in Madrid is new. Larger setup changes can therefore be expected for Saturday.
The competition also appears to be closer over a single lap. If the fastest sector times of each driver are added together, Charles Leclerc could theoretically have set the fastest lap with a 1:33.478. Of the top six drivers, however, only Arvid Lindblad was able to combine all of his best sector times into a single lap.
Does Mercedes have better battery management?
Nevertheless, the question remains where Mercedes' advantage comes from, particularly in the long runs. And the answer appears to be clear: the competition is losing too much time in the final sector.
Mercedes was already able to set the fastest time in the third sector during the qualifying simulations, but with a lot of fuel on board, the team can apparently extend that advantage even further.
Ferrari appear to be off the pace of Mercedes
Looking at the telemetry data, it is noticeable that Mercedes appears to use less battery power in the first sector, yet is still only marginally slower than the competition. In the final sector, however, Mercedes has a clear top-speed advantage, which appears to pay off particularly in the long-run mapping.
While Mercedes excels in the final sector, Ferrari can score points in the first sector, while Max Verstappen and Red Bull are very strong in the fast second sector. McLaren is the only team that is consistently too slow across all three sectors.
Midfield: Where did Haas suddenly come from?
Racing Bulls once again made the headlines in the midfield on Friday – and for two reasons.
Firstly, Arvid Lindblad finished fourth in the second practice session, just 0.228s off the pace. Shortly afterwards, however, he caused a heavy crash that resulted in a red flag.
As a result, Racing Bulls was unable to complete any truly representative long runs. Team-mate Yuki Tsunoda was also running a different programme and completed his qualifying and race simulations in a single stint, probably with a low fuel load.
That meant Haas actually recorded the best long-run pace in the midfield. Esteban Ocon was just 0.92s per lap behind Mercedes' Russell during his stint, putting the Frenchman practically on Ferrari's level.
Alpine (+1.60), Audi (+2.20), Williams (+2.58), Cadillac (+4.00) and Aston Martin (+4.33) followed behind, with some considerable gaps.
However, caution is also required here given that this is the Madrid track's debut. There is still plenty of potential for setup changes to alter the picture.
“Six stops”: How high is tyre degradation in Madrid?
The performance of some teams was not the only surprise on Friday. The behaviour of the tyres was also unexpected. As a street circuit with what is essentially a smooth asphalt surface, high tyre degradation was not initially expected. However, that may now be changing.
“At the beginning it was tricky because the track has so much grip, even though it is completely new asphalt,” Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff explained to Sky. “And interestingly, we have the opposite problem to what we expected. We can't quite get the tyre up to temperature. It takes a lap and then it gets a little better. But of course, the tyre degradation is incredible, because of the grip.”
When asked more specifically, Wolff spoke of “eight tenths of degradation per lap” in the first free practice session.
“We've never seen that before,” said Wolff. “Our strategy chief said six stops. But I think in the end it will be one stop.”
Toto Wolff warned about tyre degradation in Spain
Nevertheless, degradation in the second free practice session was also around three tenths per lap during the long runs. At the moment, that points more towards a two-stop race than a one-stop strategy.
However, more running should bring more grip to the track, which could reduce tyre degradation over the course of the weekend.
Just how unclear the tyre situation still is can also be seen in a contrasting statement from Pirelli's motorsport chief Dario Marrafuschi, also speaking to Sky:
“The grip of the asphalt is really good, so we will most likely have less degradation than expected.”
The further course of the weekend in Madrid will show who ultimately gets their prediction right.
