Lewis Hamilton was left in no doubt that Mercedes have fallen further away from the front of the F1 field in 2023 after a lonely run to fifth position in the season opening Bahrain Grand Prix. 汉密尔顿在巴林揭幕战上，前不着村后不着店，孤独得开完了比赛。英国人豪不怀疑，梅赛德斯在F1 2023赛季里，已然掉队，无力同前排车队竞争。 While his race featured “fun” battles with Fernando Alonso – at the start and a later multi-lap wheel-to-wheel scrap – Hamilton stated that Mercedes’ pace simply wasn’t “fast enough” to compete for more. 即便在比赛中同阿隆索有过“有趣”的攻守，两人在发车时，和随后的多圈轮对轮有来有回，但汉密尔顿表示：梅赛德斯的速度不够快，没办法持续竞争下去。 Asked if catching Sainz late on gives him hope that Mercedes can mix it with the likes of Ferrari going forward, Hamilton responded: “We definitely can’t fight them at the moment – they were much quicker than us, as were the Astons. 比赛最后时刻，汉密尔顿追近了赛恩斯，不过，在被问及这是否说明梅赛德斯有希望跟上法拉利，向前再赶一赶，英国老将说道：“现在我们无法与他们抗衡，他们快太多了，阿斯顿马丁也是。” “We’re the fourth fastest team now, as opposed to the third last year. We’re going backwards, [so] we really have a lot of work to do to close that gap.” “我们去年还是第三的车队，现在只能排第四了，这是在退步。我们需要缩小差距，这有很多工作要做。” 原文地址： https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/article.were-the-fourth-fastest-team-now-hamilton-offers-honest-mercedes-assessment.4cKzp72ODCZMqaA4eGCqFq.html
