Martin Whitmarsh Q&A
''We've made substantial improvements''
"我們有了長足的進步。"
Ahead of the French Grand Prix, McLaren Mercedes CEO Formula 1 Martin
Whitmarsh discusses the MP4-23's performance levels, as well as the team's
strategy in regards to Lewis Hamilton's ten-spot penalty on the starting grid
following the 'Montreal gaffe.'
在法國大賽前，麥拉倫的頭頭Martin Whitmarsh討論了MP4-23的效能，
以及車隊對於HAM因為車禍受罰退後10個排位的賽事策略。
How confident are you that the MP4-23 will remain competitive once the F1
circus returns to Europe?
你對於MP4-23回到歐洲賽場後的競爭力的看法？
"Traditionally, we've always gone well at Monaco and we've recently enjoyed
strong pace in Canada, and we remain encouraged by our performance. We feel
like we've made substantial improvements to the MP4-23 and, while it didn't
exactly pay off in Canada, we go into France in a very positive frame of
mind. One of the aims of our winter development programme was to improve the
car's high-speed performance and we feel we've been able to do that - and
both Magny-Cours and Silverstone will give us the opportunities to
demonstrate that."
Martin Whitmarsh：
"基本上，我們在摩納哥的表現一直以來都很好，而最近幾年在加拿大的表現也不錯。
而我們今年依然感到這樣的狀況。我們認為我們已經大幅度地提升了MP4-23的效能。
雖然這個改善沒有在加拿大看到成果，不過我們對於法國大賽是相當樂觀的。我們冬
季研發計畫中的一項，便是改進車輛於高速行駛時的表現，而我們認為我們做了很好
的改善。相信接下來的法國和英國大賽，我們將會有機會展示我們的進步。"
How will you tackle the race knowing that Lewis will be starting ten places
further back than usual?
對於HAM被處罰退後10個排位後的比賽策略是什麼？
"Obviously, we go to France knowing we only have the capability to field one
car on the optimum strategy, so our job will be a little different from
normal. But we still expect to extract the very maximum performance levels
from both cars. Both Lewis and Heikki are very confident about their chances
and we will be working hard with the strategists and engineers in order to
provide them both with the optimum strategy for the race."
Martin Whitmarsh：
"很明顯地，在法國，我們能做的只有賽事策略，所以我們的準備工作將會有點小改變。
不過我們還是一樣會希望能將車輛的表現最大程度的呈現出來。兩位車手也對於比賽充
滿信心。車隊方面則將會與策略分析師和工程師們一起努力，以提供車手們最好的賽事
策略。"
