F1马德里赛道练习首日：赢家与输家初现
F1在马德里赛道（马德里赛道）的首日正式赛道练习并未出现预期中的混乱，但已初步显现出一些赢家与输家。
在马德里赛道上进行的第一个正式一级方程式赛道行驶日，并没有出现预期中的混乱。
但它确实带来了早期的赢家和输家……
在一处新场地进行一级方程式赛道行驶的第一天总是令人紧张，尤其是一条被预测会立刻变成混乱大熔炉的赛道。
在三级方程式和二级方程式中，这在很大程度上确实如此——但一级方程式的车手们总体上保持了秩序，而且从场上的初步印象来看，各方的反馈都相当积极。
不过必须先说明一点：一如既往，大家都有充分理由去高度赞扬这场新比赛，而周日正赛的比赛质量仍存在很大的疑问——不过意外偏高的轮胎磨损或许会有所帮助。
但这条赛道正在获得早期的认可。
"我们见过不少街道赛道在一级方程式中来来去去——而现在就已经能感觉到，这条赛道是会留下来的，"梅赛德斯车队副领队布拉德利·洛德欣喜地说道。
"我认为，要在明天的排位赛中做出一个完美单圈将会是真正的挑战，而这正是它本该有的样子。"
小红牛领队阿兰·佩尔马内说：“我认为这是一座非常非常令人印象深刻的设施。它给人的感觉不像是他们随便在某个停车场里铺出来的一条新街道赛道，而真的能感觉到他们花了时间和心思，打造出了一条非常有趣的赛道。真的令人印象深刻。”
车手们的看法不一定完全一致（比如维斯塔潘承认他原则上就不喜欢街道赛道），但在这方面也有相当多的赞扬，加斯利表示他“非常喜欢”这条赛道，勒克莱尔则欣赏这条需要“投入承诺”的赛道，其抓地力比预期更高。——瓦伦丁·霍罗恩日伊
当然，并不是每个人都保持了干净——林德布拉德是个例外，他引发了一次长长的滑移，最终右后轮先撞上了13号弯的护栏。
“看起来挺严重的，但其实撞击并不算很重，”他事后说道。“勒克莱尔在蒙扎那次撞得可壮观多了！”
"是的，有一些损坏，数量不小，相当多，但没有什么是修不好的。所以我只能向工程师们道歉，尤其是机械师们，因为很遗憾他们今晚要多干一些活了。"——维克（VK）
即使发生了撞车，林德布拉德和他的老板佩尔马内仍然非常明显地、颇有深意地保持乐观——他们相信他与前方仅0.228秒的差距是一个真实的信号。
"这其实算不上百感交集，我宁愿开着一辆受损的车排在第4位，也不愿开着一辆四个轮子都好好的车排在第18位。"佩尔马内兴奋地说。
"这当然不理想，我们肯定不能每个周末都这样——但我们可以接受这一点。
“毫无疑问这辆车很快，非常快，今天确实是第四名的节奏。我不说明天下午还能有第四名的节奏，但我认为它会非常接近前排。”
林德布拉德说：“我们凭实力拿到第四。我们在第二节自由练习里跑出的每一圈都很快，这才是最重要的。” —— VK
在新的F1赛道上的黄金法则：在练习中尽可能多跑圈数，确保自己做好准备。
遗憾的是，迈凯伦没能遵守这条法则，因为变速箱故障导致兰多·诺里斯在第二节自由练习中没能进行任何有意义的行驶。这本是让赛车和车手进入最佳状态窗口的大好机会。
如果这还不够糟糕的话，确实参加了两节练习赛的奥斯卡·皮亚斯特里表示，车队目前"缺乏速度"。
我们之前见过迈凯伦在艰难的周五之后实现逆转，但通常表现强劲的梅赛德斯以及看起来正在复苏的法拉利，无疑让接下来的这场比赛显得格外艰难。——杰克·贝尼翁
哈斯在蒙扎于两台赛车上首次启用的升级套件，一直被预期在马德里赛道上会有更好的表现，而早期的赛道证据也支持了这一点。
埃斯特班·奥康在第二节自由练习中排名第九，练习结束后他称这是一个"非常棒的日子"，初步迹象表明他不再受到在蒙扎限制他发挥的赛车不稳定问题的困扰。
奥康说：“看来不像我们在蒙扎时那样不稳定。”
“我们又对赛车更换了许多部件，现在看来运转得相当不错。”
“今晚我们需要深入研究一下，看看究竟是什么地方改进了，但到目前为止，从驾驶感受来说，我觉得今天并没有出现问题。”
“显然，我们需要在明天继续保持这种状态。总体来说，情况相当不错。”
他还指出，这条赛道上轮胎颗粒化现象普遍，这对哈斯是个好消息，因为哈斯受颗粒化影响比对手要小。——乔什·萨蒂尔
红牛车队这一天最有趣的一幕是，当维斯塔潘被问到，考虑到林德布拉德（第二次自由练习赛排名第四）的位置，他是否想要更多时，他的回答非常搞笑：“我不开那辆车，所以我不知道它有多快。”
维斯塔潘只是指出需要改进赛车平衡，而队友利亚姆·劳森则抱怨后轮抓地力不足。不过，这一天还是挺复杂的，因为尽管维斯塔潘在第一次自由练习赛中的排名更高，位列第四，但在第二次自由练习赛中排名第六时，他反而更接近梅赛德斯的节奏。
可以说，我们目前还无法清楚地判断红牛、迈凯伦和法拉利之间的格局，但法拉利现在显然占据上风，而红牛可能再一次只是F1第四快的车队。——JB
这样一条艰难的赛道仍然有可能让2026年的标杆车队栽跟头，但目前梅赛德斯看起来相当从容地占据领先，拉塞尔和安东内利各自在一节练习中排名最快。
“我们在第一节自由练习开局不错，赛车从一开始就很强，”第一节自由练习速度最快的拉塞尔说。
“我们为第二节自由练习做了一些调校改动，但我不确定这些改动是否让赛车变好了，所以我们可能会在一夜之间把其中一些改回来。”
从有限的长距离测试数据来看，没有任何迹象表明梅赛德斯不会作为微弱的热门车队再次进入本周末剩余的比赛。 - JS
英文原文
The first day of proper Formula 1 on-track running at the Madring didn't produce the predicted chaos.
But it did provide some early winners and losers...
A first day of F1 track action at a venue is always scary times, especially for a track that was tipped to be an immediate cauldron of chaos.
This was largely true in Formula 3 and Formula 2 - but the Formula 1 grid by and large kept things tidy, and first impressions up and down the field seem seriously positive.
This has to be caveated with the note that, as always, it's in everyone's best interest to speak highly of the new race, and there are serious question marks over the quality of race action on Sunday - though unexpectedly high tyre wear might help.
But the track is getting early approval.
"We've seen street circuits come and go in Formula 1 - and it feels already like this is one that's here to stay," rejoiced Mercedes deputy team boss Bradley Lord.
"I think putting the perfect lap together tomorrow in qualifying is going to be a real challenge and that's exactly what it should be."
"I think it's a very, very impressive facility," said Racing Bulls chief Alan Permane. "It doesn't feel like a new street track they've just sort of slapped down in a car park, it really feels like they've taken some time and effort and put together a really interesting circuit. Really impressed."
Drivers weren't necessarily unanimous (Max Verstappen, for instance, just doesn't care for street circuits in principle, as he admitted), but there was significant praise on that end, too, with Pierre Gasly saying he "really loved it" and Charles Leclerc appreciating a "commitment" track with higher grip than expected. - Valentin Khorounzhiy
OK, not everybody kept it clean - with Lindblad the outlier, triggering a long slide that ended with a right-rear-first smack into the Turn 13 barriers.
"It looked quite bad, but actually the impact was not very hard," he said afterwards. "Charles did it in much more spectacular fashion in Monza!
"Yeah, there's a bit of damage, it's a good amount, quite a lot, but nothing that's not repairable. So I just apologise to the engineers, but especially the mechanics, because they've got a bit of extra work tonight, unfortunately." - VK
Even with the crash, both Lindblad and his boss Permane were remarkably, tellingly bullish - believing his mere 0.228s deficit to the front was a genuine signal.
"It's not really mixed emotions, I'd much rather be in 4th place with a damaged car than 18th place with a car with four wheels on," enthused Permane.
"It's not ideal of course, and we certainly can't do that every weekend - but we can accept that.
"There's no doubt the car is quick, very quick, it's properly P4 pace today, and I don't say it'll be P4 pace tomorrow afternoon, but it'll be right up there, I think."
Lindblad said: "We were P4 on merit. Every lap we did in FP2 we were fast, so that's the most important thing." - VK
Golden rule at a new F1 track: get as many laps in during practice to make sure you're prepared.
Sadly, McLaren couldn't follow that rule as a gearbox failure ruled Lando Norris out of any meaningful running in FP2. A big opportunity to get the car and driver in the right window.
If that wasn't bad enough, Oscar Piastri, who did get the two practices in, said that the team is "lacking pace".
We've seen McLaren turn things around from difficult Fridays before, but the usual Mercedes juggernaut and what looks like a resurgent Ferrari certainly make this look like a tough event ahead. - Jack Benyon
The upgrade Haas debuted on both cars at Monza was always expected to work better at the Madring and the early on-track evidence supports that.
Esteban Ocon was ninth in FP2, calling it a “very good day” after practice, with early indications suggesting he doesn’t have the car inconsistency issues that limited him at Monza.
“There doesn't seem to be the inconsistency that we had in Monza,” Ocon said.
“We've changed many parts on the car again, and now it seems to be working quite well.
“We need to have a deep dive tonight to see what has improved exactly, but so far, driving the car, I'm not feeling that today there was an issue.
“We need to obviously keep that going for tomorrow. Overall, it's been pretty good.”
He also suggested the prevalence of tyre graining at this circuit is good news for Haas, which suffers less from it than its rivals do. - Josh Suttill
The best part of Red Bull's day was Verstappen's retort when asked if he would have wanted more given where Lindblad (fourth in FP2) was, and Max's hilarious reply was "I don't drive that car, so I don't know how fast it is".
Verstappen merely pointed to needing to improve the balance, while team-mate Liam Lawson complained of a lack of rear grip. Still, it was a complicated day, as even though Verstappen finished higher up the order in FP1, in fourth, he was closer to the Mercedes' pace in FP2 when he was sixth.
It's fair to say we haven't got a clear picture of where the Red Bull/McLaren/Ferrari picture lies, but Ferrari certainly seems to have the upper hand at the moment, and Red Bull might be F1's fourth-best team, again. - JB
Such a tough track still has the potential to catch 2026’s benchmark team out, but for now Mercedes looks reasonably comfortable out front with George Russell and Kimi Antonelli topping a practice session each.
“We started well in FP1, and the car was strong from the off,” FP1 pacesetter Russell said.
“We made some set-up changes for FP2, but I’m not sure they improved the car, so we may row back on them overnight.”
From the limited long-run data, there’s nothing to suggest Mercedes doesn’t head into the rest of the weekend as the marginal favourites once again. - JS
