哈贾尔奥斯汀练习赛挣扎：赛车完全无法驾驶
红牛车手哈贾尔在奥斯汀练习赛后表示赛车“完全无法驾驶”，他在第一节练习赛后调整了调校方向，但结果适得其反。
“完全无法驾驶”——伊萨克·哈贾尔在奥斯汀练习赛中遭遇“巨大”困难后寻找答案
维斯塔潘谈到在奥斯汀的开局总体积极，而哈贾尔则得出结论：他在调校上走错了方向。他的前轮胎在第一个计时段结束后就已经耗尽。
在美洲赛道的F1练习赛中，红牛经历了喜忧参半的一天。马克斯·维斯塔潘对小红牛22的早期迹象基本满意，但他强调高速弯与低速弯之间的平衡仍需改进，技术总监皮埃尔·瓦什表示红牛需要在赛道较慢的路段取得提升。
维斯塔潘用了“微调”这个词，但车库另一侧显然还远未到那个阶段。伊萨克·哈贾尔在第一节练习赛中整体感觉积极，尽管最终排名第14，但他决定在当天第二节练习赛中尝试略有不同的调校方向。
“我（在第一节练习赛后）确实做了很多调整。今天早上我对进展还算满意。之后，我以为自己正朝着正确的方向前进，但这只带来了更多问题，”这位法国人总结道。
“即使我们改动了赛车，我在中性胎上感觉还可以。但在软胎上，赛车对我来说完全失控了。驾驶非常困难，所以我明天需要扭转局面。
“我们需要坐下来看看能做些什么，因为赛车性能大幅下降。我们需要把它恢复过来，至少恢复到今天早上的水平。”
在第二节练习赛期间，哈贾尔已经在车队无线电中表达了他的不满。尤其是他的排位赛模拟完全崩溃，使他在当天结束时落后队友维斯塔潘将近整整一秒。
平衡问题导致哈贾尔的前轮极快过热，随之而来的是所有相应后果。
“简直就是一场灾难。我的大部分圈速是在第一赛段做出的，但从第一赛段到圈尾，我比用中性胎时还要慢。赛车根本没法开，我严重失去前部抓地力。
“我们需要查看一下，因为这很不正常，为什么一圈之内会有这么大的性能衰退。前轮在高速弯里完全被毁掉了。”
据瓦赫所说，这种情况尤其出现在S弯（Esses）路段，之后哈贾尔不得不在该圈的剩余部分付出代价。
红牛车队的技术总监表示：“在这种赛道布局下，1号弯之后的第一赛段全是高速弯。我认为如果你在那里把轮胎用得过热，这一圈基本上就废了。”
为了排位赛，情况自然需要大幅改善，尽管哈贾尔从维斯塔潘当天的表现中获得了一些信心。哈贾尔仍然抱有希望，认为他能在排位赛开始、封闭车检条件生效之前，通过新的调校改动扭转局面。
“是的，我的意思是，如果他们能在另一侧做到的话……轮胎温度简直高得离谱，但我们在那些弯道里跑的速度是一样的。所以我们需要在赛车平衡上调整一些东西。我们尝试了不同的设置，但感觉这么糟糕，说实话我有点意外。”

"Just undriveable" – Isack Hadjar looking for answers after "massive" struggles in Austin practice
While Verstappen spoke of a largely positive start in Austin, Hadjar concluded that he had gone in the wrong direction with his set-up. His front tyres were already finished after the first sector
It was a day of contrasting fortunes for Red Bull during Formula 1 practice at the Circuit of the Americas. Max Verstappen was largely satisfied with the early signs of the RB22, although he stressed that the balance between high-speed and low-speed corners still needed improvement, with technical director Pierre Wache indicating that Red Bull needed to make gains in the slower sections of the track.
Verstappen used the word 'fine-tuning', but things are certainly not at that stage on the other side of the garage. Isack Hadjar had a largely positive feeling during FP1, despite finishing 14th in the standings, but decided to explore a slightly different set-up direction for the second session of the day.
"I did [make a lot of changes after FP1]. I was happy-ish with how it went this morning. Afterwards, I thought I was heading in the right direction, but it only brought a lot more problems", the Frenchman concluded.
"I still felt okay on the medium, even though we changed the car. But on the soft, the car was completely gone for me. It was very difficult to drive, so I need to turn things around tomorrow.
"We need to sit down and see what we can do because the car made a massive step down. We need to bring it back, at least to the level it was this morning."
Hadjar had already been voicing his frustrations over the team radio during FP2. His qualifying simulation in particular fell apart, leaving him almost a full second behind team-mate Verstappen at the end of the day.
The balance problems caused Hadjar's front tyres to overheat extremely quickly, with all the consequences that entailed.
"It was just a disaster. I made most of my lap time in sector 1, but from sector 1 until the end of the lap I was slower than on the medium. It was just undriveable, I was losing the front end massively.
"We need to have a look because this is not normal, why there was so much degradation over one lap. The fronts were completely killed in the high-speed [corners]."
This happened particularly through the Esses, after which Hadjar had to pay the price for the remainder of the lap, according to Wache.
"With this type of lay-out, you have the full high-speed corners in sector 1, after Turn 1. And I think if you overcook the tyres there, it's more or less finished for the lap", Red Bull’s technical director said.
Things naturally need to improve significantly for qualifying, although Hadjar took some confidence from Verstappen's day. Hadjar remains hopeful that he can turn the situation around with fresh set-up changes before parc ferme conditions come into effect at the start of qualifying.
"Yes, I mean, if they manage to do it on the other side… The [tyre] temperatures are just sky-high, but we are running at the same speeds in those corners. So we need to tweak something on the car balance. We were running different things to try, but to have such a bad feeling, I’m a bit surprised to be honest."
