Lewis Hamilton's car lost all of its speed just before the race began Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton likened the effects of a software bug that affected multiple cars before the Bahrain Grand Prix in Malaysia to a "Lego race".
刘易斯·汉密尔顿的赛车在比赛开始前失去了所有速度 马克斯·维斯塔潘和刘易斯·汉密尔顿将马来西亚巴林大奖赛前影响多辆赛车的软件错误比作“乐高竞赛”。
The problem led to several cars, including those of the two multiple world champions who were sharing the front row of the grid, not working in the wet conditions that preceded the race.
这个问题导致多辆赛车在比赛前的潮湿条件下无法工作,其中包括共享前排的两位多次世界冠军的赛车。
A tropical downpour delayed attempts to get the grand prix under way for the best part of an hour.
一场热带倾盆大雨使大奖赛推迟了将近一个小时。
And when the cars set off on formation laps behind a safety car to test the conditions, audiences were treated to the bizarre sight of many of them struggling to move. A bug in the software that mandates how the engines' electrical power can be used in wet conditions had been triggered by a combination of low engine speeds, low grip and specific aspects of the circuit layout.
当赛车在安全车后面出发进行热身圈以测试状况时,观众看到了许多赛车挣扎着移动的奇怪景象。 软件中规定如何在潮湿条件下使用发动机电力的错误是由低发动机转速、低抓地力和电路布局的特定方面的组合触发的。
Verstappen, who went on to take a dominant win that was his first victory of the year, said: "These engines are so complicated and a lot of software is implemented.
维斯塔潘最终以压倒性的优势取得了今年的首场胜利,他表示:“这些引擎非常复杂,并且实施了很多软件。
"I triggered [the problem] first and then I looked in my mirror, I was like, 'Wait, are they waiting for me or what's going [on]...?' It was like the Lego race."
“我首先触发了[问题],然后我看着镜子,我想,‘等等,他们是在等我还是发生了什么……?’这就像乐高竞赛。”
Verstappen was referring to a show run in battery-powered Lego F1 cars that was held before the British Grand Prix in July.
维斯塔潘指的是 7 月份英国大奖赛之前举办的一场由电池供电的乐高 F1 赛车表演。
Hamilton, sitting beside Verstappen in the post-race news conference after finishing third, interjected to say: "Yeah, we had the same speed.
汉密尔顿在获得第三名后坐在维斯塔潘旁边的赛后新闻发布会上插话道:“是的,我们的速度是一样的。
I had to stop on track and stop the car and engine and restart it. I've never done that before." Verstappen added: "It was insane.
我不得不停在赛道上,停止汽车和发动机,然后重新启动。 我以前从未这样做过。” 维斯塔潘补充道:“这太疯狂了。
Like, it's the Lego power. At some point we were five-wide on the straight because we couldn't understand what was going on. "Then we did a lap and then I see eight other cars crawling still, and I saw you (Hamilton) by yourself crawling.
就像,这就是乐高的力量。 在某些时候,我们在直道上处于五宽位,因为我们无法理解发生了什么。 “然后我们跑了一圈,然后我看到另外八辆车还在爬行,我看到你(汉密尔顿)一个人在爬行。
That's not what you want, right, for the sport." Mercedes driver George Russell, who retired from the race with an engine failure, said: "It didn't feel very F1."
这不是你想要的,对吧,对于这项运动来说。” 因发动机故障退赛的梅赛德斯车手乔治·拉塞尔表示:“感觉不太像 F1。”
Nikolas Tombazis, the single-seater director for governing body the FIA said there would be a full investigation.
国际汽联管理机构单座赛车主任尼古拉斯·汤巴齐斯 (Nikolas Tombazis) 表示将进行全面调查。
The issue arose, he added, because, while the software had been tested, it had not been tested in these specific conditions.
他补充说,出现这个问题是因为虽然软件已经过测试,但尚未在这些特定条件下进行测试。
Largely because there has been so little running in the wet this year. "Cars are complicated," Tombazis said.
很大程度上是因为今年在雨天跑步的次数太少了。 “汽车很复杂,”托姆巴齐斯说。
"We would all like it to be simpler, but when you have electrical energy and combustion energy all working together, and obviously when you want to ensure that there's sporting fairness between the teams, that is complicated. "We haven't done a full debrief of the situation and see how we can avoid such an issue.
“我们都希望它变得更简单,但是当你让电能和燃烧能一起工作时,显然当你想确保球队之间的体育公平时,那就很复杂了。 “我们还没有对情况进行全面汇报,也没有看看如何避免这样的问题。
Every race, we have a long debrief afterwards, where we identify criticalities. "Obviously, that was a major criticality, and we need to make sure we avoid it.
每场比赛之后,我们都会进行长时间的汇报,以确定关键点。 “显然,这是一个重大的关键问题,我们需要确保避免它。
Can I guarantee it will never happen again? This specific problem, yes. A problem, no, but we will do our best to avoid it, of course." This is far from the first issue created by the huge complexity of the latest hybrid engines introduced this year, with their near 50-50 split between internal combustion and electrical power.
我能保证这种事不会再发生吗? 这个具体问题,是的。 这是一个问题,不,但我们当然会尽力避免它。” 这远不是今年推出的最新混合动力发动机的巨大复杂性造成的第一个问题,它们的内燃机和电力之间的比例接近 50:50。
Because the engines are fundamentally energy starved, and so cannot deploy their full combined power output at all times, a series of complexities were added into the management of the engines to try to sticking-plaster solutions.
由于发动机从根本上来说是能源匮乏的,因此无法始终发挥其全部组合功率输出,因此在发动机的管理中增加了一系列复杂性,以尝试粘贴膏药解决方案。
Many of these led to the counter-intuitive driving about which many of the sport's stars have been complaining all season - and more changes have been added since.
其中许多导致了反直觉的驾驶,许多运动明星整个赛季都在抱怨这一点 - 此后又增加了更多的变化。
Off-track conversation has been dominated by this all year, and rules are changing for next year to alter the energy split to try to ameliorate the issue.
这一年以来,偏离轨道的谈话一直占据主导地位,明年的规则正在改变,以改变能源分配,试图改善这个问题。
McLaren team principal Andrea Stella said: "What happened at the start obviously is not ideal in terms of presentation of the sport.
迈凯伦车队领队安德里亚·斯特拉 (Andrea Stella) 表示:“从比赛的表现来看,一开始发生的事情显然并不理想。
"But at the same time it is the first year of new regulations, quite complex from a regulatory point of view, and it was also the first time we started in such conditions.
“但与此同时,这是新法规的第一年,从监管角度来看相当复杂,这也是我们第一次在这种情况下开始。
"So we have to concede that F1 has done an excellent job in making some new regulations that came with some question marks from a power-unit behaviour point of view when it came to racing for instance.
“因此,我们必须承认,F1 在制定一些新规则方面做得非常出色,但从动力单元行为的角度来看,例如在赛车方面,这些规则带来了一些问号。
"We have to acknowledge there has been really good work to make the show and racing work, and if there are some glitches occasionally, we have to accept they are glitches for everyone, be supportive and make sure it doesn't happen again."
“我们必须承认,为了让表演和比赛顺利进行,我们做了非常好的工作,如果偶尔出现一些小故障,我们必须接受它们对每个人来说都是小故障,给予支持并确保它不会再次发生。”
The problem had a secondary consequence - the field order was jumbled up, and one reading of the rules could have meant the grid order should change for any restart.
这个问题还有一个次要后果——场地顺序混乱,只要阅读一下规则就可能意味着网格顺序应该在任何重新启动时发生变化。
But while the FIA's software engineers were rewriting the code as fast as possible, it was determined that, as this situation had never occurred before, and as the problem was out of any competitor's control, the most appropriate order was to revert to the original grid.
但是,尽管国际汽联的软件工程师正在尽快重写代码,但由于这种情况以前从未发生过,而且问题超出了任何竞争对手的控制范围,因此最合适的顺序是恢复到原来的网格。
Mercedes deputy team principal Bradley Lord said: "If you think of the millions of people watching around the world, they tune in for the start and suddenly the cars are all in a jumbled up order because of something that happened 40 minutes earlier and it was behind a safety car on a formation lap.
梅赛德斯车队副领队布拉德利·洛德 (Bradley Lord) 表示:“如果你想想世界各地数以百万计的观众,他们在观看发车时,突然之间,由于 40 分钟前发生的事情,赛车在暖胎圈时落后于安全车,所有赛车都变得混乱起来。
That would have been a much harder thing to explain than resetting and then going from where we did." An entertaining race started an hour and half late following rain and computation delays Several others, including Alex Albon, didn't Mercedes better 'watch out - Verstappen 'imperious' in Bahrain GP win "Amazing" was the word Verstappen chose to describe his and Red Bull's first win of the 2026 season at a chaotic, bizarre and, in some ways, unprecedented race.
这比重置然后从我们所做的事情开始更难解释。” 由于下雨和计算延迟,一场有趣的比赛推迟了一个半小时开始 包括亚历克斯·阿尔本在内的其他几个人则没有 梅赛德斯最好“小心”——维斯塔潘在巴林大奖赛中“专横” 维斯塔潘选择用“惊人”这个词来形容他和红牛在这场混乱、怪异、在某些方面前所未有的比赛中赢得的 2026 赛季首场胜利。
It would be wrong to say the victory was a complete surprise, as it came after three consecutive podium finishes in which the four-time champion appeared to be edging closer and closer to such an achievement.
如果说这场胜利完全令人意外,那是错误的,因为在连续三次登上领奖台之后,这位四届冠军似乎越来越接近这样的成就。
But it certainly adds a fresh twist to a season of fluctuating fortunes at the front, in which the only real constant has been Kimi Antonelli, as the championship heads into its final stretch.
但这无疑给这个赛季的前场命运波动增添了新的转折,其中唯一真正不变的是基米·安东内利,因为冠军进入了最后阶段。
It was Verstappen's 72nd victory and it came in a manner entirely familiar to those who have followed his career - but entirely unfamiliar to this season.
这是维斯塔潘的第 72 场胜利,其取得的方式对于那些关注他职业生涯的人来说非常熟悉,但对于本赛季却完全陌生。
The Dutchman was the man all weekend at Sepang, where Verstappen also won the last time the track held a race in 2017.
这位荷兰人在雪邦度过了整个周末,维斯塔潘在 2017 年赛道上一次举行的比赛中也取得了胜利。
As early as Friday afternoon his rivals were all saying he was going to be difficult to beat.
早在周五下午,他的对手就都说他很难被击败。
He duly delivered a dominant win, which barely looked in doubt even through the chaos of a delayed start, software glitches caused by a bug in the mandated FIA engine settings that wreaked havoc for him and several other drivers on a formation lap, losing the lead to the two Mercedes off the line and a late safety car period.
他如期取得了压倒性的胜利,尽管起步延迟、国际汽联规定的发动机设置中的一个错误导致软件故障,对他和其他几名车手在暖胎圈中造成了严重破坏,但在起步延迟、软件故障等因素的影响下,这场胜利几乎毫无疑问。
What was remarkable about that, though, is that until Malaysia not once so far this season had Verstappen had been in this position.
然而,值得注意的是,直到马来西亚赛为止,本赛季到目前为止,维斯塔潘还没有达到过这个位置。
Red Bull started this year in a bit of a state. The fourth fastest car among the big four teams, it was debatable at times in the early races whether their car was even better than that of their junior team, Racing Bulls.
红牛今年一开始的状态有点不好。 作为四大车队中第四快的赛车,在早期比赛中,他们的赛车是否比初级车队 Racing Bulls 的赛车有时还存在争议。
All year, Verstappen has been battling an inconsistent handling balance and there was doubt for some time as to whether he would even stay at Red Bull beyond this year.
一整年,维斯塔潘一直在与不稳定的操控平衡作斗争,有一段时间人们怀疑他是否会在今年之后留在红牛。
Although contracted until the end of 2028, it was widely known there were performance-related clauses in his contract that allowed him to leave, and McLaren courted him in the summer.
尽管合同期到 2028 年底,但众所周知,他的合同中有与表现相关的条款,允许他离开,迈凯伦在夏天向他求婚。
In the end, though.
但最终。
Verstappen decided to stay, saying he liked the environment at Red Bull, he had faith they would return to the front, and he did not mind a bit of extra work helping them do it.
维斯塔潘决定留下来,他说他喜欢红牛的环境,他相信他们会重返前列,而且他不介意帮助他们做一些额外的工作。
Those sentiments were expressed in an interview at the Italian Grand Prix a month ago.
一个月前在意大利大奖赛上接受采访时表达了这些观点。
He finished third that weekend, but even that recently there was no indication a performance such as this was in the offing.
那个周末他获得了第三名,但即使最近也没有迹象表明这样的表现即将到来。
But a trickle of upgrades in the past few races finally all came together with the introduction of a new floor in Baku, the weekend before Malaysia. There, awkward circumstances in qualifying left him eighth on the grid when by merit he would have been on the front row.
但过去几场比赛中的一系列升级最终都在马来西亚比赛之前的周末在巴库引入了新地板。 在那里,排位赛中的尴尬局面让他在发车区排名第八,而按其优点,他本来可以排在前排。
But a late safety car closed up the field, and he spent the final stint right on the gearbox of George Russell's leading Mercedes, and lost out on the win by less than 0.2secs. Malaysia proved that promise was more than a flash in the pan.
但迟到的安全车关闭了场地,他在乔治·拉塞尔领先的梅赛德斯的变速箱上度过了最后一段时间,并以不到 0.2 秒的差距失去了胜利。 马来西亚证明了这一承诺并非昙花一现。
"We had a very complicated and tough start to the year with all sorts of problems and just not being competitive enough,' Verstappen said on Sunday.
“我们今年的开局非常复杂和艰难,存在各种各样的问题,而且竞争力不够,”维斯塔潘周日说道。
"But throughout the year, the team has been working very hard to understand our issues and bring good performance upgrades to the car and make it more driveable. "Step by step, we've been getting closer and closer, and today, and of course especially this whole weekend, we've been really in good form.
“但在这一年里,团队一直在努力了解我们的问题,并为汽车带来良好的性能升级,使其更易于驾驶。 “一步一步,我们已经越来越接近了,今天,当然尤其是整个周末,我们的状态真的很好。
So, yeah, it's amazing."
所以,是的,这太棒了。”
There are six or seven races remaining, depending on whether F1 gets the security reassurances it needs to give it the final confidence to commit to the end of the season grands prix in Qatar and Abu Dhabi in the context of the war in the Middle East.
还剩下六到七场比赛,这取决于 F1 是否获得了所需的安全保证,以使其有最后的信心在中东战争的背景下参加在卡塔尔和阿布扎比举行的赛季末大奖赛。
On this basis, Verstappen could well be a factor in all of them.
在此基础上,维斯塔潘很可能成为所有这些因素中的一个因素。
If the championship battle had any jeopardy remaining in it, that would certainly up the ante. But Russell's retirement from third place with an engine failure with five laps to go in Malaysia has pretty much eradicated that.
如果冠军争夺战还存在任何危险,那肯定会增加赌注。 但拉塞尔在马来西亚赛还剩五圈时因引擎故障而从第三名退赛,这几乎消除了这一点。
Antonelli's second place and Russell's retirement extended the Italian's lead to 84 points.
安东内利的第二名和拉塞尔的退赛将意大利人的领先优势扩大到了84分。
With either 158 or 183 remaining in total, depending on how the season ends, that size of lead means only some kind of miraculous turn of events could turn the tide back in Russell's favour.
总比分还剩 158 分或 183 分,这取决于赛季的结束方式,如此大的领先优势意味着只有某种奇迹般的转机才能扭转局势,对拉塞尔有利。
He said: "I don't need to say I think it's gone, but, of course, it's exceptionally unlikely and that's just the reality. "I knew if I wanted to come back, I needed luck on my side.
他说:“我不需要说我认为它已经消失了,但是,当然,这是极不可能的,这就是现实。 “我知道如果我想回来,我需要运气。
Unfortunately, I had luck not on my side. "So, you know, a three-point loss today being behind Kimi turned into an 18-point loss.
不幸的是,运气并没有站在我这边。 “所以,你知道,今天落后基米 3 分的损失变成了 18 分的损失。
Of course, if it was on the other side it would have been an 18-point gain.
当然,如果是对方的话,那就是18分的增益了。
So it's a real shame, but that's just how it is." It's not the first time an engine problem has robbed Russell of big points this year.
所以这真的很遗憾,但事实就是如此。” 这并不是拉塞尔今年第一次因为引擎问题而失去重要积分。
But Antonelli has had his reliability issues, too, and to about the same level. The reality is that Antonelli has been the better performer this year - as he was again in Malaysia after his odd off weekend in Baku - and he will deserve the title when it comes. If the championship battle had any jeopardy remaining in it, that would certainly up the ante.
但安东内利也有可靠性问题,而且达到了大致相同的水平。 事实是,安东内利今年的表现更为出色——在巴库度过了一个奇怪的周末后,他再次来到了马来西亚——当这个冠军到来时,他将当之无愧。 如果冠军争夺战还存在任何危险,那肯定会增加赌注。
But Russell's retirement from third place with an engine failure with five laps to go in Malaysia has pretty much eradicated that. Antonelli's second place and Russell's retirement extended the Italian's lead to 84 points.

"You've almost got to laugh," he said. "I'm beyond disappointment. It's just so many times this season it's happened.
“你几乎要笑了,”他说。 “我已经非常失望了。 这个赛季这样的事情已经发生过很多次了。
It's a real shame.
真是太可惜了。
Of course, but just keep on fighting." But Antonelli has had his reliability issues, too, and to about the same level. The reality, as Russell has acknowledged many times, is that Antonelli has been the better performer on balance this year - as he was again in Malaysia after his off weekend in Baku - and he will deserve the title when it comes.

当然可以,但请继续战斗。” 但安东内利也有可靠性问题,而且达到了大致相同的水平。 正如拉塞尔多次承认的那样,现实是安东内利今年总体上表现更好,因为他在巴库周末休息后再次来到马来西亚,当这个冠军到来时,他将当之无愧。 维斯塔潘在长时间拖延后在马来西亚赢得巴林大奖赛 安德鲁·本森问答:请将您的问题发送给我们
