Red Bull finds RB19 F1 car solution that suits both Verstappen and Perez

Red Bull believes it has found a "solution" with its new RB19 Formula 1 car that suits both Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez.

紅牛車隊(duì)相信他們已經(jīng)找到了新賽車RB19適應(yīng)維斯塔潘和佩雷茲的“解決方案”。

The Milton Keynes-based squad is coming off the back of a 2022 campaign where its RB18 had phases where either one or the other driver was happier.

總部位于米爾頓凱恩斯的車隊(duì)即將解決在2022賽季背后，RB18在不同時(shí)期讓車隊(duì)中的一位車手更滿意（的問題）。

At the start of the season, when the car suffered from understeer due to being overweight, those characteristics favoured Perez much more. But as the team reduced the car’s mass, that help make its front end better at turn-in, and that swung things firmly in the favour of Verstappen.?

在賽季初期，當(dāng)時(shí)賽車受困于因超重引發(fā)的轉(zhuǎn)向不足，這些特性更有利于佩雷茲。不過當(dāng)車隊(duì)減輕了車重，幫助賽車前端在入彎時(shí)表現(xiàn)更好，這使得事情果斷轉(zhuǎn)向了有利于維斯塔潘的一面。

With its drivers preferring different things from a car, there has been some intrigue about whether certain handling characteristics of the RB19 would suit one of them better.

由于他們的車手喜好不同的賽車特性，于是產(chǎn)生了一些關(guān)于RB19的某些操控特性是否更適合其中一位車手的陰謀。

But Red Bull’s motorsport advisor Helmut Marko says the indications from pre-season testing are that its 2023 challenger can run in a way that both Perez and Verstappen are content.

不過紅牛的賽事顧問馬爾科表示，季前測(cè)試中的跡象表明他們的2023款賽車可以在佩雷斯和維斯塔潘都滿意的狀態(tài)下運(yùn)行。

Speaking to?Sky Germany, Marko said: “We had a car last year that Checo did very well with in the beginning. And, after it was developed, Max has been more and more happy.?

接受德國天空體育采訪時(shí)，馬爾科說到：“我們?nèi)ツ甑馁愜嚕谫惣境跗谧屌謇灼澅憩F(xiàn)很好。不過在它升級(jí)過后，維斯塔潘開始越來越滿意。”

“The difference is that Max loves a strong front end, really biting. Checo is a little different. He wants a more docile car.

“不同之處在于維斯塔潘喜歡強(qiáng)力的賽車前端，十分敏銳的那種。佩雷茲則有一些不同，他想要更加聽話的賽車?！?/p>

“But we seem to have found a solution that allows both drivers to show their qualities.”

“不過我們看起來找到了允許兩位車手都能展示自己特長的解決方案?！?/p>

Speaking on the final day of the Bahrain test, Perez confirmed that the direction he and Verstappen preferred for the RB19 was the same.

在巴林測(cè)試最后一天的采訪中，佩雷茲證實(shí)他和維斯塔潘對(duì)RB19的喜好方向是一致的。

“I think we are aiming for the same things,” he said. “We want the same things so at the moment, it's a good base.”

“我認(rèn)為我們的目標(biāo)是相同的”，他說到?！拔覀兡壳跋胍嗤臇|西，這是一個(gè)好的基礎(chǔ)?！?/p>

Driving styles

駕駛風(fēng)格

While Verstappen is well known for being able to better cope with a nervous rear end, he is clear that Red Bull has never deliberately engineered cars in his direction.

雖然維斯塔潘以能更好處理敏銳的車尾而出名，但他清楚紅牛從未刻意按照他的方向設(shè)計(jì)賽車。

Instead, he says the team has long had a history of producing cars with a strong front end, and it’s something he has simply learned to deal with.

相反，他表示車隊(duì)長久以來擁有生產(chǎn)強(qiáng)大前端賽車的歷史，這也是他剛剛學(xué)會(huì)處理的事情。

“I don't think it has necessarily suited my driving style,” he said. “As a driver, you need to adapt to what you get, and that's also what I did when I joined Red Bull.?

“我不認(rèn)為一定要適合我的駕駛風(fēng)格”，他說到?！白鳛橐幻囀郑阈枰ミm應(yīng)你手里的車子，我加入紅牛時(shí)也是這樣做的。”

“The car was always like that, to be honest. It had a good front end, and I've never experienced a fast car with understeer in my life, in any category.?

“說實(shí)話，這輛車總是這樣。它有很好的前端，在我的生涯、在任何組別中，我從未經(jīng)歷一輛帶有轉(zhuǎn)向不足的快車?！?/p>

“I feel like if people ask me: what is your driving style? I cannot tell you, because I always adapt to what I get in the best way possible. Sometimes it is a bit harder than others. But I think that's the key: you need to adapt, every year and every track as well.”

“我覺得如果人們問我：你的駕駛風(fēng)格是什么？我無可奉告無法回答你，因?yàn)槲铱偸且宰詈玫姆绞饺ミm應(yīng)我拿到的賽車。有時(shí)的車比其他的要更難一些。不過我認(rèn)為這就是關(guān)鍵--你需要去適應(yīng)，每一年、每一條賽道都是如此。”

Speaking about his driving preferences in Bahrain last week, Perez said his issue was not preferring an understeery car but it was more that Verstappen was better able to cope with the rear end being more nervous.

上周在巴林談到他的駕駛偏好，佩雷茲說他的問題不是他喜歡轉(zhuǎn)向不足的賽車，而是維斯塔潘能更好應(yīng)對(duì)敏感的賽車后端。

“I'd say that there are very few drivers that like understeer,” he said. “I think there's not many drivers that like it.

“我會(huì)說很少的車手喜歡轉(zhuǎn)向不足，”他說到。“我認(rèn)為沒有多少車手喜歡它?！?/p>

“And so, from my point of view, Max is able to cope with a less stable rear end than I am able to cope with.

“所以，就我的角度來看，維斯塔潘比我更能應(yīng)對(duì)不那么穩(wěn)定的后端?！?/p>

“At the end of the day, we both want a good front end. It's just a question of how stable the rear end can be. And certainly Max has been able to cope with a looser rear end.”

“總而言之，我們都想要一個(gè)好的前端。這只是后端能有多穩(wěn)定的問題。當(dāng)然，維斯塔潘能應(yīng)對(duì)更滑動(dòng)的后端?！?/p>
