World champion Lando Norris has moved up to fourth place in the drivers' standings following his victory in Zandvoort Lando Norris says he and McLaren "don't have the car I need to fight for a championship", despite a second consecutive win to open the second half of the Formula 1 season.
世界冠军兰多·诺里斯在赞德沃特获胜后,车手积分榜上升至第四名 兰多·诺里斯表示,他和迈凯伦"没有我争夺冠军所需的赛车",尽管他们在F1赛季下半段开局连赢两场。
The Briton's victory in the final Dutch Grand Prix at Zandvoort, following on from his first win of the season in Hungary last month, was of the highest calibre.
这位英国车手在赞德沃特的最后一场荷兰大奖赛中获胜,继上个月匈牙利的赛季首胜之后,堪称顶级水平。
As such, it raises the prospect of the sort of championship fightback staged by Red Bull's Max Verstappen against Norris himself last year.
因此,这也让人联想到去年红牛车手马克斯·维斯塔潘对阵诺里斯本人时那样的冠军争夺战。
After this race last year, Norris' team-mate Oscar Piastri had a 34-point advantage over the Briton and 104 over Verstappen.
去年这场比赛后,诺里斯的队友奥斯卡·皮亚斯特里领先英国车手34分,领先维斯塔潘104分。
Yet Verstappen, after one of the all-time great fightbacks, finished the season just two points behind Norris as he won the title in Abu Dhabi Norris' masterful victory in Zandvoort has left him 83 points off the lead, held by Mercedes' Kimi Antonelli, who he and McLaren passed on track after losing the lead at the chaotic start of the day. Antonelli's team-mate George Russell is tied on points with Ferrari's Lewis Hamilton, 59 behind the Italian.
然而,维斯塔潘在经历了史上最伟大的逆转之一后,最终以仅落后诺里斯两分的成绩结束了阿布扎比的冠军 诺里斯在赞德沃特的精彩胜利使他落后领先83分,领先位置由梅赛德斯的基米·安东内利保持,他和迈凯伦在混乱的比赛开始时失去领先后,在赛道上超越了安东内利。 安东内利的队友乔治·拉塞尔与法拉利的刘易斯·汉密尔顿积分并列,落后意大利车手59分。
Norris beats Antonelli to claim final Dutch GP win Russell impresses as Norris shines - driver ratings Mercedes lack money to develop car like rivals - Wolff But while McLaren have made a major step forward with upgrades to their car that led to convincing wins in both Hungary and now the Netherlands, Norris believes that the car still has too many flaws to mount the sort of consistent attack Verstappen produced last year.
诺里斯击败安东内利,赢得荷兰大奖赛的最后一场胜利 拉塞尔表现出色,诺里斯大放异彩——车手评分 梅赛德斯缺乏资金开发类似竞争对手的汽车——沃尔夫 尽管迈凯伦在升级赛车上取得了重大进步,在匈牙利和荷兰都取得了令人信服的胜利,诺里斯认为这辆车仍有太多缺陷,难以发起持续的进攻维斯塔潘去年就在车队中表现突出。
"I'm confident because we clearly have a strong car," he said.
"我很有信心,因为我们的赛车显然很强,"他说。
"We have a strong car in certain areas.
"我们在某些方面有强劲的车。
It's not like last year where we were pretty good everywhere.
不像去年那样,我们在各方面都表现不错。
"We're very, very strong in high speed, and that's the place we've improved the car the most, is high-speed performance.
"我们在高速方面非常非常强,而这也是我们提升赛车最多的地方——高速性能。
No one matches us in high speed, and that's a good thing.
没有人能在高速上匹敌我们,这倒是件好事。
"My pace advantage to Mercedes in Turn Seven, Eight was crazy, but their advantage that they have to us in slow speed is also crazy. "And therefore, I don't have the confidence to say, 'Yeah, I can easily fight for a championship for the rest of the season.' "I know I've just won two races in a row and had two poles in a row, but at the minute I don't have the car I need to fight for a championship. And I know that's quite a big comment."
"我在第七弯和第八弯比梅赛德斯拥有的速度优势非常惊人,但他们在慢速时对我们的优势同样惊人。 "因此,我没有信心说,'是的,我可以轻松争夺本赛季剩余的冠军。' "我知道我刚刚连赢两场比赛,拿下了两个杆位,但目前我没有足够的车去争夺冠军。 我知道这话挺重的。"
Norris' belief is based on his understanding that McLaren's slow-speed performance will be a handicap at the next race in Monza, and two races after that in Azerbaijan. Both tracks are dominated by long straights, which penalise the McLaren's high drag compared to Mercedes, and have very few high-speed corners where the car's strength can compensate for its weaknesses in slow turns.
诺里斯的观点基于他理解迈凯伦的低速表现将在下一场蒙扎以及随后的两场阿塞拜疆比赛中成为劣势。 两条赛道都以长直道为主,与梅赛德斯相比,这会惩罚迈凯轮的高阻力,并且很少有高速弯道,赛车的力量可以弥补其在慢速转弯中的弱点。
McLaren team principal Andrea Stella said: “If we can confirm our improvements in Monza, then we can look with some optimism at the remainder of the season.” Norris' victory in Zandvoort, built around an off-set strategy and devastating pace once the cars were on the hard tyres in the second stint, underlined the level at which he is now operating.
迈凯轮车队负责人安德烈斯特拉说:"如果我们能够确认我们在蒙扎的进步,那么我们可以在赛季的剩余时间里乐观地看待。” 诺里斯在赞德沃特的胜利,建立在一个偏离战略和毁灭性的速度,一旦汽车在第二阶段的硬轮胎,突出了他现在的水平。
As impressive as Verstappen's revival was last year, Norris' own in the second half of the season was almost as good, as both made up ground on Piastri.
正如Verstappen去年的复兴一样令人印象深刻,诺里斯在下半赛季的表现几乎一样好,因为两者都在皮亚斯特里占据了一席之地。
And Norris believes he has built on the progress he made in his driving after a difficult start to 2025 to perform on an even higher plane in 2026. "I was driving at a high level the second half of last year," he said.
诺里斯认为,他已经建立在他在2025年艰难起步后驾驶方面取得的进步之上,在2026年在更高的飞机上表现。 "去年下半年我的驾驶水平很高,"他说。
"It's tough to say, but I do think it's a trickier car to drive this year in some ways.
"这很难说,但我确实认为今年在某些方面开车更棘手。
And I think you can see that because the gaps between team-mates are often bigger this year, I would say, than it was last year.
我想你可以看到,因为今年队友之间的差距往往比去年更大。
"I do believe I'm able to understand situations better, to understand the car in a better way.
"我相信我能够更好地理解情况,以更好的方式了解汽车。
It's still just horrible to drive, but I'm doing a better job at just understanding this, relaying this to my team, figuring stuff out.
这仍然是可怕的驾驶,但我正在做一个更好的工作,只是理解这一点,传达给我的团队,弄清楚的东西。
"So, it's not just I'm driving better on track.
"所以,这不仅仅是我在正轨上驾驶得更好。
I'm certainly eliminating my weaknesses on track, and I don't have so many, but it's also how I work off the track.
我当然正在消除我在轨道上的弱点,而且我没有那么多,但这也是我在轨道上工作的方式。
And for me, yesterday to today is a perfect example of the work we put in overnight transformed our race and gave me the opportunity to win." Reigning constructors' champions McLaren are third in the standings, 162 points off leaders Mercedes Team principal Andrea Stella said he believed Norris was driving better than ever. "Lando is driving and operating at a very high level," Stella said.
对于我来说,昨天到今天是一个完美的例子,我们在一夜之间所做的工作改变了我们的种族,给了我获胜的机会。" 卫冕车队的冠军迈凯轮在积分榜上排名第三,距离梅赛德斯领先者162分 车队负责人安德里亚斯特拉说,他相信诺里斯比以往任何时候都驾驶得更好。 "兰多正在以非常高的水平驾驶和运营,"斯特拉说。
"He's driving at the level of a world champion. "What I like the most of his journey in Formula 1 is that he keeps improving.
"他的驾驶水平达到了世界冠军的水平。 "我最喜欢他在Formula1的旅程是他不断进步。
"After the start of the 2025 season, something clicked, which is not only a single click, but it's a way of working with Lando, for Lando, and that we are adopting also on Oscar's side now in particular. "This approach has led Lando to continuous improvements. "It's almost like I see Lando stronger and stronger race by race.
"在2025赛季开始后,点击了一些东西,这不仅是一次点击,而是与Lando合作的一种方式,对于Lando来说,我们现在特别是在奥斯卡方面采用。 "这种方法使兰多不断改进。 "这几乎就像我看到兰多越来越强大的种族。
Because I think this weekend was nowhere near a weekend in which we could fight for the victory for granted, especially after having seen the performance in the sprint (in which Norris was passed by Ferrari's Charles Leclerc and finished third).
因为我认为这个周末远非我们可以理所当然地为胜利而战的周末,特别是在看过冲刺中的表现之后(其中诺里斯被法拉利的查尔斯勒克莱尔通过并获
"But we invested in trying to understand where was the opportunity from a tyre exploitation point of view and car improvement.
"但我们投资试图从轮胎开发和汽车改进的角度了解机会在哪里。
"And then when you have conditions in which the car slides in the race, there's not much grip, then I think he is the master in these kind of conditions." A couple of months ago, before the British Grand Prix, and before McLaren had won a race this season, Norris admitted in an interview with BBC Sport "a little bit" of frustration at not being able to defend the title he won last year.
"然后当你有赛车在比赛中滑行的条件时,没有太多的抓地力,那么我认为他是这种条件的主人。" 几个月前,在英国大奖赛之前,在迈凯轮本赛季赢得一场比赛之前,诺里斯在接受BBC Sport采访时承认,对于无法捍卫他去年赢得的冠军感到"有点"沮丧。
So it's perhaps no surprise that now he appears to have at least an outside chance of making a fist of it, he is not making any presumptions.
因此,现在他似乎至少有机会把握机会,也就不足为奇了,他没有做出任何假设。
"One race at a time," he said.
"一次一场比赛,"他说。
"I know a lot of people say it now, but it's the truth of it.
"我知道现在很多人这么说,但这就是事实。
There's no point thinking that far ahead. "Obviously, two great weekends, but there's still plenty of things we can do better, and we need to do better if we want to fight for a championship.
想得那么远没意义。 "显然,这两个周末都很棒,但我们还有很多地方可以做得更好,如果想争夺冠军,我们必须做得更好。
"It's still harder than I would like, and I don't want a bigger gap, so we have to keep working hard.
"这仍然比我想象的难,我不想让差距更大,所以我们必须继续努力。
There's still plenty of races, plenty of opportunity for everyone.
比赛依然充足,机会丰富。
So, keep my head down, keep working, and they'll keep coming."
所以,低调点,继续工作,他们会不断来的。"
McLaren's progress has come in the context of stagnation at Mercedes, whose lack of an upgrade to their car since Canada in May has led to them being caught by McLaren and Ferrari, a situation that has raised eyebrows among rival teams.
迈凯伦的进步是在梅赛德斯停滞不前的背景下实现的,自五月加拿大站以来,梅赛德斯未对赛车进行升级,导致他们被迈凯伦和法拉利发现,这一情况引起了竞争对手车队的关注。
The next Mercedes upgrade is not due until the Bahrain Grand Prix in Malaysia in four races' time. For Antonelli - who also faces a grid penalty at his home race in Italy next time out because he needs to take a new engine that exceeds his allowance as a consequence of early-season reliability problems - it cannot come soon enough. "Now as a team we need to find a little bit of time because McLaren have done a huge step," he said.
下一次梅赛德斯升级要到四场比赛后在马来西亚举行的巴林大奖赛才会到位。 对于安东内利来说——他下次在意大利本土站也将面临罚退发位置,因为他需要更换一台因赛季初可靠性问题而超出配额的新发动机——这一刻真是太快了。 "现在作为一个团队,我们需要找到一点时间,因为迈凯伦已经迈出了巨大的一步,"他说。
"So for sure, in this race, it's going to be more difficult, it's going to be challenging, but we're ready to do our best and to maximise every opportunity.
"所以可以肯定的是,这场比赛会更难,也会有挑战,但我们已经准备好全力以赴,抓住每一个机会。
"And then hopefully it's going to be our turn to bring the package that's going to give us a little bit of the upper hand again."
"希望轮到我们带来那套能让我们再次占上风的方案。"
