车手称马德里赛道首秀乏味：“我差点睡着了”
在马德里赛道赛道完成F1首秀后，车手们对比赛过程反应冷淡，有车手表示“我差点睡着了”。车手们认为这条赛道存在主要问题，并提出了各自的解决方案。
2026年西班牙大奖赛是一场沉闷的游行——但F1车手们认为马德里赛道赛道的主要问题是什么，他们又提出了哪些解决方案？
马德里赛道赛道部分是新建的永久性赛道，部分是利用现有道路，这些道路蜿蜒穿过马德里东北部的IFEMA会议中心。因此，它受益于部分空白画布。
在最近接受《建筑文摘》采访时，设计师Jarno Zaffelli表示：“测试非常积极，所以我很兴奋想看看F1会怎么说，”
“在我看来，就流畅性而言，没有其他赛道具有这种独特的个性。”
“我希望它能给车手和车迷带来独特的感受。我也希望人们离开时能认识到，建造一条不无聊的街道赛道是可能的。”
至少是一条不无聊的街道赛道。而比赛……则是另一回事。
车手们对马德里首场比赛的评价
车手们对马德里赛道赛道的位置和氛围一致好评，包括费尔南多·阿隆索、卡洛斯·塞恩斯、刘易斯·汉密尔顿和阿尔维德·林德布拉德在内的车手都对赛道外的体验赞不绝口。
但林德布拉德承认这“不是最激动人心的比赛”，而奥迪的加布里埃尔·博托莱托被问及驾驶起来是否像一些观众看起来那样沉闷。
“是的，我也差点睡着了，”这位巴西人回答道。
哈斯车队的埃斯特班·奥康表示，周日缺乏轮胎磨损和颗粒化导致比赛无聊。
“从进站到结束，就像120%的强度。因为颗粒化没有发生，我们就到了这个地步。如果我们周五有比赛，会好得多。”
赛道布局本身招致了更严厉的批评。
马克斯·维斯塔潘在第一圈首个减速弯冲出赛道，这概括了那里超车空间有多小，而5-6号减速弯被指太窄，倾斜的La Monumental弯之后的各种左弯也给车手留下的空间很小。
“我不知道怎么会有人看着这个设计说，太棒了！”迈凯伦的兰多·诺里斯在新闻发布会上说。
许多弯道视野也很差，包括塞恩斯在内的车手指出了安全隐患。
“和吉达、巴库一样，很差，”他说。“但国际汽联似乎乐于在新赛道方面朝这个方向前进，作为车手，我们显然在提出我们的……不是担忧——而是我们希望不断改善安全的观点。”
“我们将走向这些赛道，因为在无法看穿的S弯以260公里/小时、270公里/小时[162-168英里/小时]行驶绝对令人大开眼界，绝对让你质疑一切是否安全。”
同胞阿隆索给La Monumental弯的炒作泼了冷水，他说他的阿斯顿·马丁新闻官都能全油门通过那个弯。
“很可悲，你知道，某种程度上，用这一代赛车来到像这样非常好的赛道，这里那里有挑战，比如Monumental弯、12号弯，而车手输入根本不算什么。”
“迈克尔[克莱顿，新闻官]都能开12号弯，因为你全油门通过，没有能量部署，”他说。
乔治·拉塞尔谈到了赛道的一个根本问题。
“我想设计中的一个小挫折就是缺乏明确的超车机会。在每条赛道上，长直道尽头都需要明确的超车机会，而这里最长的直道通向那个狭窄的环岛路段。所以这可能是我们唯一希望有所不同的事情。”
诺里斯直言不讳地说：“他们应该取消[18-19号弯]——没用。”
他解释说，赛道可以通过“从[17号弯]直线到20号弯，拥有像奥斯汀1号弯或奥斯汀10号弯那样宽得多的入口”来改进。
“一个大发夹弯，你为所有人创造更好的机会，你就能享受比赛。有一些简单的改变，也许还有一些更棘手的，比如5、6、7号弯。”
凯迪拉克的瓦尔特利·博塔斯表示，在最长的直道之后“很容易”阻挡，呼应了拉塞尔的评论。
他补充说：“我不太喜欢的是第二和第三赛段，太盲了，尤其是慢圈时。有时有点危险，有些地方不必要地盲。但那是我们第一次去沙特时，同样的问题，然后他们加宽了一些墙壁，所以我不知道——也许有改进的空间。”
除了13号弯（左弯）和20号弯（急左弯）外，5号弯招致了最多的批评，因为虽然它是一个重刹车区，但减速弯的入口颠簸，路肩很高，赛道仍然狭窄——基本上排除了超车。
威廉姆斯的亚历克斯·阿尔本说：“我认为我们需要稍微重新审视这条赛道……因为我认为，我不知道你们有没有看F3和F2的比赛，但都是车手在减速弯并排，然后抱怨其中一个没让他们回超，所以那个弯特别是我认为最需要改进的弯。”
博托莱托质疑5-6号减速弯的设置。
“我就是不明白……即使他们减慢弯道速度，他们要做什么，你知道……特别是现在我们的大赛车；如果是1990年代的赛车，也许可以放点什么，但现在不是这样了。”
并且，呼应阿隆索对La Monumental弯的直率，维斯塔潘说：“是的，我是说，倾斜很酷，但我认为他们应该反过来做。最初更多倾斜，然后只是变平。”
也许街道赛道本身就不适合现代F1赛车笨重的尺寸。
维斯塔潘说：“我不喜欢街道赛道，所以那永远不会改变。我总是更喜欢在像斯帕这样的赛道上驾驶。”
“他们所做的事情，他们建造一切的方式，我认为他们做得非常好，但我不喜欢街道赛道。”
顺便说一句，阿隆索也发表了类似的评论：“我仍然更喜欢常规赛道。你知道，一般来说，你推动赛车的极限……在街道赛道上，你总是95%，因为赛道总是让你惊讶。”
对马德里赛道布局的批评并非没有意义，因为下一届西班牙大奖赛已经在讨论改变——很明显，车手们不怕明确表达自己的意见。
英文原文
The 2026 Spanish Grand Prix was a procession - but what do Formula 1 drivers think is the main problem with the Madring, and what are their proposed solutions?
The Madring is part new, permanent circuit, and part existing roads that flow in and out of the IFEMA conference centre in the north-east of Madrid. It therefore benefitted from a partial blank slate.
In a recent interview with Architectural Digest, designer Jarno Zaffelli said: "Testing was very positive, so I am quite excited to see what Formula 1 has to say,"
"No other course has this particular character, in my opinion, in terms of its flow.
"I hope it gives the drivers and fans a unique feeling. And I would hope that people walk away recognising that it's possible to build a street circuit that is not boring."
A street circuit that's not boring, at least. The race… a different story.
What the drivers said about Madrid's first race
There was consistent praise over the location and the atmosphere at the Madring with drivers including Fernando Alonso, Carlos Sainz, Lewis Hamilton and Arvid Lindblad among those enthusing over the off-track experience.
But Lindblad did concede that it "wasn't the most exciting race" while Audi's Gabriel Bortoleto was asked whether it was as dull to drive as it was for some watching.
"Yeah, I almost fell asleep as well," replied the Brazilian.
Haas's Esteban Ocon said that a lack of tyre degradation and graining on Sunday made for a boring race.
"It was like 120% from as soon as you pitted to the end. And because the graining didn't happen, that's where we ended up. If we had a race on Friday, it would have been much better."
The track layout itself garnered heavier criticism.
Max Verstappen's lap one off at the opening chicane summed up how little space there was to pass there, while the Turn 5-6 chicane was branded too narrow and the various left-handers after the banked La Monumental gave drivers little room.
"I don't know how someone looks at this design and goes, mint!" said McLaren's Lando Norris in the press conference.
A lot of the corners also offer little visibility, and drivers including Sainz pointed out safety concerns.
"Same as in Jeddah and Baku, it's poor," he said. "But it seems like the FIA is happy to go in this direction moving forward in terms of new circuits, which obviously, as drivers, we are raising our… not concerns - but our point of wanting to keep improving safety.
"We're going to go towards these circuits because going at 260km/h, 270km/h [162-168mph] on esses that you cannot see through is definitely eye-opening and definitely makes you question how safe everything is."
Compatriot Alonso deflated the hype around La Monumental as he said his Aston Martin press officer could have taken the corner flat out.
"It is sad, you know, in a way, with this generation of cars to come to a very nice circuit like this one, with challenges here and there, like Monumental corner, Turn 12, and the driver input is just nothing.
"Michael [Clayton, press officer] can drive in Turn 12 because you go flat with no deployment," he said.
George Russell touched on a fundamental issue with the track.
"I guess the one small frustration in the design is just the lack of clear overtaking opportunities. On every track, at the end of a long straight, you need a clear opportunity to overtake, and the longest straight here goes into that tight roundabout section. So that's probably the only thing we wish was different."
Norris was forthright, saying: "They should get rid of [Turns] 18-19 - useless."
He explained that the track could be improved with a "straight line from [Turn] 17 straight to 20, have a much wider entry like Austin Turn 1 or Turn 10 in Austin.
"A big hairpin, you create much better opportunities for everyone and you'll be able to enjoy the race. There's some simple changes and maybe some trickier ones like Turn 5, 6, 7."
Cadillac's Valtteri Bottas said it was "quite easy" to block after the longest straight, echoing Russell's comments.
He added: "What I'm not a big fan of is the sector two and three, how blind it is, especially people on the slow laps. Sometimes it's a bit sketchy, unnecessarily blind in places. But that was the first time we went to Saudi, it was the same issue and then they widened some of the walls, so I don't know - maybe there's some room for improvement."
Aside from Turns 13 (left-hand kink) and 20 (sharp left-hander), Turn 5 garnered the most criticism as, while it's a heavy braking zone, the entry to the chicane is bumpy, there are high kerbs, and the track is still narrow - essentially ruling it out for overtakes.
Williams's Alex Albon said: "I think we need to revisit this track a little bit… because I think, I don't know if you watched the F3 and F2 races, but it was all drivers going side by side in the chicane and then complaining that one of them didn't let them back past, so that corner in particular is the corner that I think needs the most work."
Bortoleto questioned the inclusion of that Turn 5-6 chicane.
"I just don't see how… Like even if they slow down the corner, what are they going to do, you know… especially with the big cars we have nowadays; if it was 1990s cars, maybe you could put something, but it's not like this anymore."
And, echoing Alonso's bluntness over La Monumental, Verstappen said: "Yeah, I mean, it's cool, the banking, but I think they should have done it the other way around, though. Initially more banking and then just flatten it out."
Perhaps street circuits themselves just don't suit the cumbersome footprint of a modern F1 car.
Verstappen said: "I'm not a fan of street circuits, so that will never change. I will always prefer to drive on a track like Spa.
"What they have done, the way they have built everything up, I think they have done a really good job, but I'm not a fan of street circuits."
Alonso, incidentally, shared a similar comment: "I still prefer normal circuits. You know, in general, you push the limits of the car… On a street circuit, you are always 95% because the track is always surprising you."
The criticism over Madring's layout isn't for nothing as changes are already being discussed for the next iteration of the Spanish Grand Prix - and it's clear that the drivers aren't afraid of making their opinions clear.
