**Atmosphere at Ferrari already better after ‘strange’ 2020, says Leclerc 

**原标题-勒克莱尔：经过了“奇怪的”2020后，法拉利的氛围正在变好

After a “strange atmosphere” at Ferrari in 2020, things are already looking up this season according to Charles Leclerc, who says he and new team mate Carlos Sainz have already formed a good working relationship.

夏尔·勒克莱尔表示，经过了一个“氛围怪异”的2020赛季，事情已经在向着积极的一面发展。摩纳哥人认为，他和新队友卡洛斯·赛恩斯之间已经形成了良好的工作关系。

Ferrari slumped to sixth in the championship in 2020 – their worst finish since 1980 – and they failed to win a race for the first time since 2016, while Leclerc’s team mate Sebastian Vettel drove the entire season knowing that it would be his last with the team, who’d opted in May of 2020 to move for Sainz to replace him for 2021.

法拉利的2020赛季战绩一落千丈：年终第六——1980赛季以来最差，全年难求一胜——2016之后头一次。与此同时，作为勒克莱尔的队友，塞巴斯蒂安·瓦特尔在5月就早早选择不同车队预约，将2021年的座舱让与赛恩斯。德国人不得不顶着“我最后的法拉利生涯”这一尴尬标签渡过一整年。

Given their expectations for success, Leclerc said during pre-season testing that the atmosphere was peculiar at Ferrari last year, but things are definitely looking better for 2021.

鉴于这是一支向来渴望成功的团队，勒克莱尔表示，去年的季前测试对法拉利来说可谓气氛诡异。显然，2021年看上去可要好多了。

“I think at first there was a strange atmosphere, at first in 2020 when we realized the reality of things that was quite a lot worse than we expected and there was a time where it was not great. But very quickly, the mentality changed and there was a huge motivation to try and come back where we want to be,” he explained.

“我觉得（去年）车队氛围多少有些奇怪。2020赛季伊始我们就意识到事情比我们料想的要糟得多，有那么一段时间情况确实不理想。但很快，我们调整了心态，尝试让一切回到正轨。车队必须回到它原来的位置，所有人对此都感到动力十足。”勒克莱尔如是说道。

Another factor in Ferrari’s more positive outlook is the arrival of Sainz from McLaren, with Leclerc sharing some kind words about his new team mate.

另一方面，赛恩斯从麦克拉伦的过档加盟立马给法拉利带来了积极向上的新气象。对于新队友，勒克莱尔自然不吝惜赞美之词。

"Well, first of all, he’s a great guy; I think I’ve never spent as much time as I did with him before I started the season as I did with other team mates, so yeah, we are getting on very, very well and working well together,” explained Leclerc.

“嗯，首先，他人真的很好。我觉得和之前的其他队友比，我跟他在季前待在一块的时间是最长的。所以，没错，我们相处得非常，非常不错。在一起工作的感觉也很棒。”勒克莱尔解释道。

“Carlos is bringing experience from other teams too that is very interesting and that's giving us new roads to explore,” he added. “So this is very interesting, but I guess the mentality of the team itself is still as motivated as last year, and [we’re] really willing to push to have better days coming soon.

“卡洛斯也带来了他从其他车队那获得的经验，这给了我们新思路。”摩纳哥人接着补充，“这很有趣，但我想车队也和上赛季一样，满腔动力，（我们）为了重回正轨的那一刻正不断推动着自己前进。”

“He’s also talented and it’s interesting to see the data now that he has in the car and comparing it, even if it’s quite difficult because conditions change quite a lot from morning to afternoon.

“他很有天赋，而现在有了他贡献的测试数据，这可以让我们进行一些有意思的对比，即便数据处理起来有点难度，毕竟（巴林）这边赛道环境早晚相差巨大。”

“But there are interesting things to see, but yeah, I can’t wait to be in the car at the same time as him to compare properly."

“但总的来说事情正向着好的方向发展。是的，我等不及要跟他同时出场好好比较比较了。”

But despite the fact they are getting on well so far, Leclerc revealed the pair will be free to fight each other on track this season, when he was asked whether he would be taking the team leader role this season. The Monegasque driver has spent two years at Ferrari but Sainz, 26, has spent six seasons in F1.

在被问及本赛季是否会由他主扛车队大旗，成为队内领导者时，勒克莱尔透露，尽管目前为止两位车手相处甚笃，但赛道上他们将自由竞争。诚然，两年过后，摩纳哥人已经算是“老法拉利”了，但与此同时26岁的赛恩斯也将迎来自己的第七个F1赛季。

“Well at the end I’ve spent more time at Ferrari than Carlos did, so I have more experience with Ferrari,” said Leclerc. “I don’t think there is a clear leader and I think [Team Principal] Mattia [Binotto] made it clear, but that’s good.

“就这支车队来说，我有着更丰富的经验，毕竟我待在法拉利的时间比卡洛斯更长。”勒克莱尔说，“但我们之间不会有清楚的一二号车手之分，这点我想马蒂亚（比诺托）已经强调过了，我觉得这很棒。”

“I am here in Formula 1 to fight against the best and I think Carlos is extremely talented and we’ll push each other on track – but as the team mentioned, there’s no clear number one or number two.”

“我来F1是为了和世界上最好的车手竞争，而有卡洛斯这样天赋满满的队友，会让我们在赛道上不断推动对方向前。不过就像队里说的，场上没有一二号车手之分。”

That sets up an exciting intra-team battle for the first race of the season, but will we see Ferrari get back to their best? We should get some idea when Bahrain hosts the first Grand Prix of 2021, at the end of March.

法拉利刺激的队内竞争即将于赛季首站展开，但我们是否会看到他们重回巅峰？一切就等三月底的巴林大奖赛，2021赛季起跑后揭晓了。
