巴库F1练习赛：赢家与输家
巴库大奖赛周末在罕见的周四开始练习，梅赛德斯在速度与可靠性上展现2026年初的状态，乔治·拉塞尔位列第一，而迈凯伦的重大车身升级首次亮相不顺，仅列第六和第八。
阿塞拜疆大奖赛周末已经拉开帷幕，梅赛德斯展现出2026赛季初期的状态，无论是速度还是可靠性都表现不俗。
以下是各车队在这个罕见的周四赛道活动中的排名情况——以及他们赛后的表态。
梅赛德斯坚称这一差距并不“具有代表性”，因为它比直接竞争对手完成了更多真正的冲刺圈，而且“你做的每一个计时圈，圈速都在提升”。
即便如此，拉塞尔在练习日结束后所处的位置已经是你所能期望的最强状态了：赛车似乎拥有某种程度的优势，而队友则因可靠性问题处于劣势（而且如果真的到了那一步，他应该非常乐意接受第二名）。
“乔治去年在这里病得相当重，但还是拿到了第二名，”梅赛德斯副领队布拉德利·洛德指出。
“他在每条赛道上都跑得很好，[但]这条赛道传统上是他取得过一些非常强劲成绩的地方，而这正是你作为车队所期望的——如果一辆车遇到麻烦，另一辆车就在那里，并领跑在前。”——瓦伦丁·霍罗恩日伊
这是迈凯伦重大车身升级的首次亮相，但开局并不顺利——因为它在练习赛中不得不对该升级进行一些略显临时的工程处理，并且在FP1中受到里程限制。
不过，迈凯伦完全相信该升级正按预期发挥作用，而最终是两位车手中更快的那位——落后领先者1.5秒，比奥斯卡·皮亚斯特里快0.026秒——的兰多·诺里斯表示，赛车感觉很好。
但正如 Norris 所说：“我们只是……落后太多了。所以，是的……”
“我们在一条低速赛道上，却有一条非常长的直道。梅赛德斯 在每个低速弯都比我们快，这符合我们的预期，他们在直道上也比我们快，这也符合我们的预期。
“我认为没有什么意外。也许差距的大小是意外。但我昨天说过，我不指望在这里表现那么好。当然，我希望比我的预期更好。但我不认为这是意外。”——VK
如果 加斯利 能在周六（记住，那是比赛日！）以今天结束的位置完赛，他会非常高兴，因为他在 FP2 中夹在了两辆 迈凯伦 之间。
“我非常满意，”Gasly说道。“我所感受到的让我对明天有了一些很好的信心。”
奥迪在这里带来了一套可观的升级套件，小红牛始终是一个威胁，但阿尔派以中游车队中难以击败的姿态开启了本周末——至少在Gasly手中是如此。——Jack Benyon
输家：奥迪（第14和第15）以及威廉姆斯（第16和第17）
这两支车队都开局平淡，尽管为本站比赛带来了大量升级套件，却在FP2中落在Sergio Perez的凯迪拉克之后。
博托莱托 在两节练习赛中都使用了几乎全新的奥迪部件，并在 FP2 后表示，赛车“说实话在 FP2 里感觉并不惊艳，我们缺少一点抓地力”，而队友 霍肯伯格 则慢了不到十分之一秒——他在 FP1 中使用了旧部件，随后因变速箱问题缩短了行驶里程。
在 威廉姆斯 那边，新的轻量化底盘承载着很多期望，塞恩斯 表示它“感觉快了一点”——但他在 FP2 中比领先的 凯迪拉克 慢了半秒，此前他在 FP1 中遭遇了刹车起火。
由于 威廉姆斯 停滞了这么久，Sainz 觉得，即使这款新车调校得更好，也只可能让 威廉姆斯 回到 Q2 常客的位置。
“如果我们想要更大的进步，我们就得等到明年。”——Ben Anderson
昨天有消息称，奥康 明年在 哈斯 车队几乎肯定无法留队，很可能由 Rafa Camara 接替。
虽然一节强劲的练习赛无法弥补这一点，但他本周末开局非常顺利，在两节练习赛中分别跑出第九和第十名。
“我甚至没有太用力推，就找到了不错的感觉，而且这在圈速上奏效了，”Ocon 说道。
“目前这辆车看起来状态不错。我们已经看到它可能一天之间就发生变化，所以希望我们在第二天不会让它变得更糟。”
他补充说，这辆车“开起来非常舒服”，而且比去年“好得多”，去年他“根本刹不住车”。
他的这番话确实给人一种感觉：他不再需要讨好自己的车队了！但我们来这里就是为了听真话。——JB
这已经是林德布拉德在两个周末内第二次在练习首日把车撞毁——这次是在城堡路段发生了一次略显反常的撞车（通常在那里你会看到赛车车头先撞上外侧护墙，而不是侧面连撞两下）。
“他觉得自己偏右了1毫米。我倒觉得他大概偏了20毫米——不过这个数字具体是多少，我们大可以争论一番！”车队主管艾伦·珀曼笑着说道。
“他在那一圈冲得有点太猛了——结果就稍微过头了一点。”
这算不上理想，更何况还要记得，马德林练习赛中的那次撞车确实影响了他整个周末的信心，而且利亚姆·劳森手中仅存的那辆赛车公牛赛车下午也并不是特别快——但归根结底这不算灾难。
“我们还好，”珀曼认为。“我们处在自己认为的位置上。我们当然还有一些时间要找回来。但这不过是P2和P3练习赛之间正常的差距而已。
“我们在P1和P2之间做了一些调整。也许这些调整的方向并不太对。”——VK
"我认为我们在这里处于领先位置，"瓦尔特利·博塔斯在FP2结束时被问及凯迪拉克与阿斯顿·马丁相比如何时说道。
圈速数据压倒性地支持了这一观点。但博塔斯的队友佩雷兹可能把目标定得更高一些。
ADUO 2法拉利引擎在这里肯定提供了助力——据估计价值约0.2秒——但尾流可以决定你排位赛的成败；凯迪拉克首席竞赛官马克·海恩斯表示，尾流在这里"就是一切"。
佩雷兹在他最快圈速中确实得到了奥斯卡·皮亚斯特里的尾流，这让他在当时引人注目地排在第11位，到练习赛结束时也足以排在第13位。但你也永远不能低估佩雷兹在这里的出色表现。
竞争性的引力可能在排位赛中发挥作用，并让这看起来像是一个讨喜的异常值。但练习赛的状态表明，如果Perez能把一切串联起来——并再次召唤出他在巴库的魔力——那么凯迪拉克就有机会首次在F1中闯入Q2。——Jack Cozens
汉密尔顿在马德里练习赛中被多次指责阻挡他人，并在巴库这里再次因此登上头条，他因涉嫌阻挡而被传唤至赛会干事。
Lawson——在顶替哈贾尔的红牛生涯后回到小红牛——在接近最后直道的弯道处遇到Hamilton时非常愤怒——但在练习赛后的评论中他软化了立场，对2026款赛车因耗电而造成的接近速度表示同情。
Hamilton认为他起初领先四秒，但“当我们进入18号弯时，赛车就像死了一样，他（Lawson）大幅缩小了差距——这种事可能发生在任何人身上”。
英文原文
The Azerbaijan Grand Prix weekend has begun with Mercedes in early-2026 form, in both pace and reliability.
Here's how teams up and down the grid stacked up on this rare Thursday of track action - and what they had to say afterwards.
Mercedes insists the gap is not "representative" because it managed more proper push laps than its immediate rivals and "every timed lap you did, the laptimes were improving".
Even so, Russell is in as strong a position as you really can be coming out of practice day, with a car that seems to have an edge of some degree and a team-mate who is on the back foot due to unreliability (and anyway should be super-happy to settle for second if it comes to that).
"George was pretty sick here last year and finished P2," pointed out Mercedes deputy team principal Bradley Lord.
"He goes well at every circuit [but] this is one where traditionally he's had some really strong results, and that's what you're looking for as a team - if one car hits trouble, the other one's right up there and leading the way." - Valentin Khorounzhiy
This was an inauspicious first outing for McLaren's major bodywork upgrade - as it had to execute some slightly makeshift engineering work on it during practice, and was mileage-limited in FP1.
McLaren, though, is wholly convinced the upgrade is performing as anticipated, and Lando Norris, who was ultimately the quicker of its two drivers (1.5s off the pace, and 0.026s up on Oscar Piastri), says the car felt good.
But, as Norris also said: "We're just... miles off the pace. So, yeah...
"We're at a slow-speed track with a very long straight. Mercedes is quicker than us in every slow-speed corner, as we expect, and they're quicker than us in the straights, as we expect.
"I think that nothing's a surprise. Maybe the size [of the gap] is. But I said yesterday I don't expect to be that great here. Of course, I hoped to be better than my expectation. But I don't think it's a surprise." - VK
If Pierre Gasly can end Saturday (that's race day, remember!) where he finished today, he'll be very happy indeed as he split the McLarens in FP2.
"I'm very pleased," said Gasly. "What I've felt gives me some good confidence for tomorrow."
Audi has brought a sizeable upgrade package here and Racing Bulls is always a threat, but Alpine has started the weekend as the midfield car to beat - at least in Gasly's hands. - Jack Benyon
Loser: Audi (14th and 15th) and Williams (16th and 17th)
An uninspiring start for both of these teams, ending up behind Sergio Perez’s Cadillac in FP2 despite having brought substantial upgrade packages to this race.
Gabriel Bortoleto ran the almost front-to-back new Audi parts in both sessions and reported after FP2 that the car "didn't feel amazing in FP2 if I'm very honest, we're lacking a little bit of grip", while team-mate Nico Hulkenberg was just under a tenth further off - having run the old parts in FP1 before a gearbox problem curtailed his running.
Over at Williams there’s a lot riding on the new lightweight chassis, which Carlos Sainz reported "feels a bit quicker" - but he was half a second down on the leading Cadillac in FP2, following a brake fire in FP1.
With Williams having stood still for so long, Sainz feels even a better-sorted version of this new car is only likely to lift Williams back to being a Q2 regular.
"If we want bigger steps, we’re going to have to wait for next year". - Ben Anderson
Yesterday it emerged Esteban Ocon was all but out at Haas for next year, likely to be replaced by Rafa Camara.
While a strong day of practice won't make up for that, he started the weekend very well to run ninth and 10th respectively in the two practice sessions.
"I didn't even push that much and I got a good feel, and it's working on the laptime," said Ocon.
"The car seems to be healthy for the moment. We've seen from one day to the other that it could change, so hopefully we are not going to make it worse on that second day."
He added it was "very nice to drive" and "much better" than last year, when he "couldn't brake at all".
His comments do give a certain feeling of someone not needing to keep his team happy anymore! But we're here for the honest take. - JB
Make that a second time in two weekends that Lindblad has junked his car on the opening day of running - this time with a slightly unconventional crash in the castle section (normally you see cars go nose-first into the outside wall there, rather than side-on for two impacts).
"He feels he was 1mm too far to the right. I'd say he was probably 20mm too far - but we can argue about what that number is!" chuckled team chief Alan Permane.
"He was up quite a lot on that lap - and he just went a bit too far."
It's less than ideal, also remembering that the Madring practice crash did influence his confidence through the weekend, and the sole remaining Racing Bulls car wasn't massively fast in the afternoon in Liam Lawson's hands - but ultimately it's no disaster.
"We're OK," reckoned Permane. "We're where we think we were. We've certainly got a bit of time to find. But no more than normal between a P2 and a P3 session.
"We've made some changes between P1 and P2. And maybe they weren't quite in the right direction." - VK
"I think we are ahead here," said Valtteri Bottas, when asked how Cadillac compared to Aston Martin at the end of FP2.
The laptimes overwhelmingly back up that opinion. But Bottas's team-mate Perez might well have his sights set a little higher still.
The ADUO 2 Ferrari engine is definitely providing an assist here - reckoned to be worth around two tenths - but a tow can make or break your qualifying; Cadillac chief racing officer Marc Hynes said tows are "everything here".
Perez certainly got a tow from Oscar Piastri on his fastest lap, which put him an eye-catching 11th at the time and was still good enough for 13th come the end of the session. But you can never underestimate Perez's brilliance here, too.
Competitive gravity might come into play in qualifying, and make this look like a flattering outlier. But practice form suggests that if Perez can string everything together - and conjure up a bit more of his Baku magic - then Cadillac's in with a shot of its first Q2 appearance in F1. - Jack Cozens
Lewis Hamilton was accused of getting in the way in Madring practice on multiple occasions and hit the headlines for it again here in Baku as he's been summoned to the stewards for alleged impeding.
Lawson - back in at Racing Bulls after his Red Bull stint subbing for Isack Hadjar - was furious when he caught Hamilton in the esses approaching the final straight - but did soften his stance in his comments after the session, sympathetic to the closing speeds created by the battery-thirsty 2026 cars.
Hamilton reckoned he was four seconds ahead initially but "as we got into [Turn] 18, it's like the car just died, and he [Lawson] swamped up the gap massively - and that could happen to anyone".
