奥斯卡·皮亚斯蒂：麦凯轮在墨西哥高原的处理“比我预期的要好”
麦凯轮车手认为在FP2中软胎圈速混乱的情况下，他还有更多的进步空间
对于麦凯轮的粉丝来说，来自沃金的木瓜新闻，最新消息包括车手、赛车、团队策略以及每个周末的赛事
麦凯轮车手奥斯卡·皮亚斯蒂在墨西哥城的赛道FP2练习中带着乐观离开，他确认他的赛车在高海拔地区的表现比他预期的要好。尽管这位车手在排位赛中有一个‘相当混乱’的模拟圈速。
Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez赛道海拔超过2200米。稀薄的空气使得车队在比赛中几乎无法产生足够的下压力和冷却效果，这使得它成为日历中最具挑战性的周末之一。
FP2练习赛后，皮亚斯特里表示，实际情况并没有他想象中那么困难。
“当然很困难，但我觉得并没有比我预期的更糟，或者可能比我预期的还要好一点。所以，一切感觉都还不错。老实说，我觉得我们似乎相对有竞争力。”
澳大利亚人承认他的软胎圈速没有达到预期，但他相信这个木瓜色的车队的基本速度很强。
“我的FP2软胎圈速相当混乱，但我觉得整体节奏似乎还不错。所以法拉利看起来非常强大，我想在这种赛道上你可能会期待这样的表现，但我认为我们今天过得相当不错。”
皮亚斯蒂表示，纠正他的错误应该能让他排名更高，但他警告击败法拉利将会很困难。
“有几处很大的失误，所以我乐观地认为，如果我能整理好这些失误，我的排名也会更靠前，这种感觉很好。所以我认为明天要尝试击败法拉利将会非常困难，看起来就是这样。整个赛场上竞争非常激烈，所以你必须保持最佳状态。”
当被问及他是如何适应这些条件的驾驶时，皮亚斯蒂表示，根据今年的规定，低抓地力并不是什么新鲜事。
“这很艰难。抓地力极低。坦白说，今年车型的状况在大多数地方都类似，所以这里并没有那么戏剧化。但始终是一个挑战，不仅是对车辆的平衡性，今年在冷却发动机方面也非常困难。”
梅赛德斯车手乔治·拉塞尔周四表示，法拉利的较小涡轮可能会在高原上给它带来“相当大的优势”，因为2026年的规则取消了之前有助于消除涡轮迟滞的MGU-H。
但皮亚斯蒂里不同意涡轮将是决定性因素，补充说法拉利在直线上的速度并不特别快。
““他们今天看起来非常快。我认为涡轮的影响不会像我们想象的那么大。如果有什么的话，他们在直道上看起来有点慢，所以我们明天再看看。在某种情况下，它肯定会帮助他们，但我认为在正常条件下，它的影响并没有我们最初想象的那么大。”"

Oscar Piastri: McLaren handled Mexico altitude “better than I was expecting”
The McLaren driver believes he has more to come after a “messy” soft-tyre lap in FP2
For McLaren fans. Papaya news from Woking, with the latest on the drivers, the car, team strategy and every race weekend.
McLaren driver Oscar Piastri walks away from FP2 in Mexico City's circuit with optimism as he confirms his car coped better with the high altitude than he expected it to. This comes despite the driver having a "pretty messy" qualifying simulation.
The Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez circuit sits more than 2,200 metres above sea level. The thin air leaves teams running with very little downforce and poor cooling, making it one of the most challenging weekends of the calendar.
Speaking after FP2, Piastri said the conditions had not been as tricky as he had feared.
“It was difficult for sure, but I don’t think necessarily worse than what I was expecting, or if anything it was probably a little bit better than I was expecting. So yeah, everything felt OK. I think we seemed to be relatively competitive, to be honest.”
The Australian admitted his soft-tyre lap failed to come together, but believed the papaya-coloured team's underlying pace is strong.
“My soft lap in FP2 was pretty messy, but I felt like the kind of overall pace seems to be there. So Ferrari looked very strong, which I guess you would kind of expect on a track like this, but I think we had a pretty good day.”
Piastri said that cleaning up his mistakes should put him much higher up the order, but warned that beating Ferrari would be difficult.
“There was a couple of very big mistakes, so I’m optimistic that if I can tidy those up, I’ll be a lot further up as well, which is a nice feeling to have. So I think to try and beat Ferrari tomorrow is going to be very tough, as it looks like. And it’s very tight, I would say, through the whole field, so you’re going to have to be on top of the game.”
Asked how he had adapted his driving to the conditions, Piastri said the low grip was nothing new under this year’s regulations.
“It’s tough. It’s just incredibly low grip. I think with this year’s cars, honestly, it’s a similar story in most places, so it doesn’t feel that dramatic here. But it’s always a challenge, not just for the car in terms of balance, but cooling the engines this year, it’s always very tough.”
Mercedes driver George Russell suggested on Thursday that Ferrari’s smaller turbo could give it “quite an advantage” at altitude, with the 2026 rules having dropped the MGU-H that previously helped to eliminate turbo lag.
But Piastri doesn't agree that the turbo will be the deciding factor, adding that Ferrari didn't look especially fast in a straight line.
“They looked very quick today. I don’t think the turbo is going to make as much of a difference as we thought. They, if anything, looked a bit slow on the straights, so let’s wait and see tomorrow. Definitely in some circumstances it will help them, but I think in normal conditions it’s not as big of a factor as we first thought.”
