Mercedes expect Silverstone will be “much better” for them than Red Bull
Ring
Mercedes expect Silverstone will be a “much better” track for their car
this weekend after cooling problems ended their winning streak in Austria.
在冷却问题让Mercedes 在奥地利终止连胜之后，Mercedes 认为本周末在银石赛
道上对他们的赛车来说状况应该会好得多。
The heat and altitude of the Red Bull Ring contributed to Mercedes’ first
defeat of 2019. Silverstone will bring a return to a lower and likely cooler
track, but Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff is keen to address the car’s
weakness before F1 returns to hotter venues.
红牛赛道的热度与高海拔导致Mercedes 在2019年首次被击败。这次回到高度较低
且温度可能较凉快的银石赛道，但车队大头Toto Wolff 渴望在F1 去到较热的分
站之前解决赛车的弱点。
“I’m really hoping for the typical English weather at Silverstone so we can
gain a little bit of time to sort our problems out,” he joked after the
Austrian Grand Prix.
"我真的希望银石赛道能有典型的英国天气，这样我们就有点时间来解决问题。"
他在奥地利大奖赛后开玩笑说。
“There is no alternative than to fix our problems for the coming hot races,
Hockenheim and Budapest. There is no other option.”
为了像是Hockenheim 和Budapest 这种即将来到的高温赛道，除了解决我们的问
题外没有选择的余地。没有其他的选项。
Wolff suspects the advantage Ferrari gain from their power unit will also be
lessened at the British Grand Prix.
Wolff 猜想Ferrari 从他们的动力系统中获得的优势也将在英国大奖赛中减少。
“The power deployment maybe isn’t as much of a differentiator through the
fast corners so I think Silverstone should be much more to our liking,” he
said. “Maybe not as much as Paul Ricard Paul Ricard but much better than
Austria.”
"动力配置在过高速弯上或许不是一个那么决定性的关键点，所以我想银石赛道应
该会更加符合我们的喜好。" 他这样说。
"可能不像Paul Ricard Paul Ricard 那么明显，但比奥地利要好得多。"
Points leader Lewis Hamilton believes Mercedes’ lack of competitiveness was
largely track-specific. “There are some circuits where it appears slightly
shorter circuits where they [Ferrari] are really super quick on the straights,
” he said.
积分领先者Lewis Hamilton 认为Mercedes 缺乏竞争力主要是在特定赛道上。
"法拉利在一些看起来略短的赛道的直线上超级快的" HAM 这样说。
“Our car should be good [at Silverstone], but I have to assume it’ll be
close.”
"我们的赛车在银石应该会很好，但我必须假设比赛会很接近。"
Hamilton’s run of four consecutive home race wins was halted by Sebastian
Vettel and Ferrari last year after Hamilton tangled with Kimi Raikkonen and
Ferrari on the first lap of the race.
去年Hamilton 在比赛的第一圈与Kimi Raikkonen 纠缠在一起，让他的主场四连
胜被Sebastian Vettel 和法拉利终止。
