A tough opening race of the season for the Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team

梅赛德斯-AMG马石油F1车队本赛季的首场比赛将十分坚韧

Lewis Hamilton finished fifth and George Russell seventh in the 2023 Bahrain Grand Prix

刘易斯·汉密尔顿在2023年巴林大奖赛中获得第五名，乔治·拉塞尔获得第七名

Both cars ran a Soft/Hard/Hard strategy and battled throughout but disappointingly were unable to match the superior pace of the Red Bull, Ferrari and Fernando Alonso’s Aston Martin

两辆汽车都采用了软/硬/硬的策略，并在比赛中自始至终奋力拼搏，但令人失望的是，它们都无法与红牛、法拉利和费尔南多·阿隆索的阿斯顿·马丁的上级速度相媲美

Lewis made up two positions on the opening lap to run in fifth for most of the race. That became fourth when Charles Leclerc retired but he lost out to Alonso in the closing stages

刘易斯在第一圈就取得了两个位置，在比赛的大部分时间里都跑在第五位。当查尔斯·勒克莱尔退役后，他成为了第四名，但是他在最后阶段输给了阿隆索

George dropped to sixth at the start with a slow first stop relegating him to eighth. He ran close to the Aston Martin of Lance Stroll throughout but was unable to pass for seventh.

乔治在一开始就降到了第六位，第一次进站很慢，使他降到了第八位。他跑近阿斯顿马丁的兰斯漫步整个，但无法通过第七。

We did the best we could today. We are the fourth fastest team right now, and the Ferrari and Aston that we were battling were just quicker than us. It was close for a second with Sainz, but I couldn’t hang on and he just went away in the final laps.

我们今天已经尽力了。我们现在是第四快的车队，我们和法拉利和阿斯顿的比赛比我们快。和塞恩斯有一秒钟很接近，但是我没能坚持住，他在最后几圈就离开了。

Big congratulations to Fernando and the whole Aston Martin team too. They did a great job today. It was a fun tussle we had for a moment, but he was too quick. We are lacking a lot of downforce, and we’ve got a lot of work to do to add more to the car. As soon as we put more load on the front and rear, we will be able to pick up our pace.

热烈祝贺费尔南多和整个阿斯顿马丁车队。他们今天干得不错。我们扭打了一会儿，很有趣，但他太快了。我们缺乏很多下压力，我们有很多工作要做，以增加更多的赛车。只要我们在车头和车尾上多加负荷，我们就能加快步伐。

We’ve just got to keep working; we know we are not where we need to be. I’ve got to stay positive, keep my head up and keep pushing the Team. I will be a positive light for them and get the best points I can.

我们只要继续工作;我们知道我们还没有到达我们需要到达的地方。我必须保持积极的态度，保持高昂的头，继续推动球队。我会成为他们积极的一面光，尽我所能得到最好的分数。

We are lacking performance and we are a long behind where we want to be. Aston Martin are the surprise package this year and our deficit to Red Bull and those ahead is too big. The positive we can take away is that there is no fundamental problem with the car, other than it is lacking downforce. As silly as it sounds, that is one of the easiest problems to solve compared to what we had to do last year.

我们缺乏表现，我们远远落后于我们想要达到的目标。阿斯顿马丁是今年的惊喜套餐，我们对红牛和前面的人的赤字太大了。积极的一面是，我们可以带走的是，没有根本的问题，赛车，除了它是缺乏下压力。尽管听起来很傻，但与我们去年不得不做的事情相比，这是最容易解决的问题之一。

We are all here to win. If we must sacrifice some races or part of this season to give ourselves a chance to fight in the second half of the season, or even next year, that is what we are going to have to do. We know the Team is good at developing and finding performance, but we are a long way behind where we want to be.

我们都是来赢的。如果我们必须牺牲一些比赛或者本赛季的一部分来给予自己一个在下半赛季甚至明年战斗的机会，那就是我们必须要做的。我们知道球队擅长发展和寻找表现，但我们离我们想要的还有很长的路要走。

We need to find some performance quickly. Bahrain is an outlier circuit, but performance isn’t going to swing more than three tenths positively or negatively from track to track.

我们需要尽快找到一些表演。巴林是一个离群值电路，但性能不会摆动超过十分之三的积极或消极从轨道到轨道。

That was one of our worst days in racing. It was not good at all; we are lacking pace front, right, and centre. The Aston Martins are very fast, and the Red Bull is just on a different planet. It hurts that they are so far ahead; it reminds me of our best years where we put one second on everyone else. That is the benchmark. We need to put one foot in front of the other to come back but nobody in this team will throw in the towel. We need to dig deep, deeper than we ever have done before. And we can do that.

那是我们比赛中最糟糕的一天。一点也不好;我们的前、右、中速度不够。阿斯顿马丁的速度非常快，红牛只是在一个不同的星球上。他们遥遥领先让人伤心这让我想起了我们最好的时光我们把一秒钟放在别人身上。这是基准。我们需要把一只脚放在另一只脚的前面才能回来，但是这支球队没有人会认输。我们需要深入挖掘，比以往任何时候都要深入。我们可以做到。

It was a very difficult Sunday; the gap to Red Bull is huge and we’ve got Aston Martin and Ferrari ahead of us too. Clearly, we have a lot of work ahead and we need to go back and come up with a plan to try and find improvements. We are lacking overall grip and, on a high degradation track like this, there was nothing that the drivers could do to attack. However, it’s encouraging to see how the team is pulling together and how well the drivers are working together. This is the second season we’ve started on the back foot though and we’re under no illusion that this is not acceptable for our team. We’ve got a few days to regroup and improve ahead of Saudi; we will work together to try and make sure the next race is a better one than this weekend.

这是一个非常艰难的星期天与红牛差距是巨大的，我们还有阿斯顿马丁和法拉利在前面。显然，我们还有很多工作要做，我们需要回去提出一个计划，试图找到改进办法。我们缺乏整体抓地力，在这样一条高度退化的赛道上，车手们没有什么可以攻击的。然而，令人鼓舞的是，看到车队是如何团结在一起，以及车手们是如何合作的。这是我们第二个赛季开始的后脚，我们没有幻想，这是我们的球队不能接受的。我们有几天的时间来重新调整和提高，领先沙特;我们会一起努力，确保下一场比赛比这个周末更好。
