阿隆索批评F1驾驶水准低下
阿隆索在美国大奖赛首圈被阿尔本撞击后,批评F1当前驾驶水准,并质疑某些车队在预算帽限制下如何能接受这种情况。
阿隆索再次批评F1驾驶水准低下:“我们都知道说的是谁”
阿隆索仍坚持他对F1驾驶水准的批评。这位阿斯顿·马丁车手公开质疑,考虑到预算帽的影响,某些车队如何能接受这种情况。
在奥斯汀举行的美国大奖赛首圈,阿隆索被亚历山大·阿尔本撞击;据阿斯顿·马丁赛道事务主管迈克·克拉克称,这次碰撞让阿隆索损失了大量下压力。此后,这位两届世界冠军对F1当前的驾驶水准提出了严厉批评。
“从后排起步,总有这种风险。我认为积分榜后三分之一车手的水平非常低,就像我们今天看到亚历克斯那样。所以我认为我们需要改进赛车,从更靠前的位置起步。”阿隆索在周日美洲赛道赛后于媒体区说道。
虽然可以理解那是在一时激动之下发表的评论——尤其是阿斯顿·马丁的纯粹速度,据阿隆索所说,足以争夺积分——但他在墨西哥城的媒体日上明确表示,他仍然完全坚持自己的话。
“我不知道是不是三分之一的发车格,因为后来我看到一些报道试图挑出八名或七名车手。我对他们的具体人数并不确定,但我想我们都知道我们在说哪些人,以及哪些人觉得被那条评论击中了”,他解释道。
“这已经说明了一切,所以我仍然有同样的感觉。那是一个不必要的错误,我仍然很难理解亚历克斯在那个时刻看到了什么机会。
“但不仅仅是奥斯汀。不幸的是,整个赛季我都处于比赛的那个部分,所以我从车里看到了一些我无法告诉你们的事情。”
当被 Motorsport.com 问及他是否觉得 F1 中的驾驶标准在逐渐恶化时,阿隆索澄清道:“不,我认为多年来都是一样的。

“显然,当你在发车格后方时,赛车更难驾驶。它们抓地力更少,失误也更频繁,因为你所处的环境不受控制。赛车不会以友好的方式迎接你,所以你会犯更多错误。
“但我觉得第一圈的所有事故、所有碰撞、所有飞来飞去的前翼,所有这些事情都是不必要的。尤其是当你在发车格后方毫无意义地争斗时。
“还有成本上限也在加剧这个问题,但如果他们的车队对成本上限感到满意,并且每场比赛都撞坏东西,那对他们来说也没问题。”
最后那句话尤其耐人寻味,因为威廉姆斯车队领队詹姆斯·沃尔斯一再呼吁重新考虑成本上限。然而,通过这番评论,阿隆索微妙地表明,即使没有这样的重新考虑,避免损坏也可能对他的车队有帮助。
阿隆索并不认为驾驶标准问题主要在于赛事干事——他们可能并不总是保持一致——而更多在于车队和车手自身。
“不,我认为赛事干事,除非有明显不安全的情况,否则那不是他们的工作。所以那不是赛事干事职责的一部分。那只是那些车手有多少野心,他们对未来想要什么。”
“如果他们想在一级方程式待得更久,如果他们想有机会进入更大的车队,或者如果他们乐意撞车。”

Fernando Alonso doubles down on poor F1 driving standards: "We all know who we're talking about"
Alonso still stands by his critical comments about the driving standards in F1. The Aston Martin driver openly questions how certain teams can accept this, given the implications of the cost cap
After Fernando Alonso was hit by Alexander Albon on the opening lap of the US Grand Prix in Austin – which, according to Aston Martin's chief trackside officer Mike Krack, cost him a considerable amount of downforce – the two-time world champion was highly critical of the current driving standards in Formula 1.
"When you start at the back, there is always this risk. I think the quality of the drivers in the low third of the grid is very low, as we saw today with Alex. So I think we need to improve the car and start a little bit higher up", Alonso said in the media pen after Sunday’s race at the Circuit of the Americas.
Although that was understandably a comment made in the heat of the moment – especially as Aston Martin's pure pace was, which according to Alonso was good enough to challenge for points – he made it clear during the media day in Mexico City that he still fully stands by his words.
"I don't know if it's one third of the grid, because then I saw some reports trying to pick out eight drivers or seven drivers. I'm not specific on the number of them, but I think we all know which ones we talk about and which ones felt hit by that comment", he explained.
"That tells you everything, so I still feel the same. That was a mistake that was not needed and I still find it difficult to understand what the opportunity was that Alex saw in that moment.
"But it's not only Austin. Unfortunately, I’ve been in that part of the race for the whole season, so I see things from the car that I cannot tell you."
Asked by Motorsport.com whether he had seen driving standards gradually deteriorate in F1, Alonso clarified: "No, I think it's the same over the years.

"Obviously, when you are at the back of the grid, the cars are more difficult to drive. They have less grip and mistakes are coming more often because you don't have the environment that is under control. The car does not welcome you in a nice way, so you make more mistakes.
"But I feel that all the incidents in lap one, all the touches, all the front wings that fly around, all these kind of things are not necessary. Especially if you are fighting for nothing at the back of the grid.
"There is the cost cap also adding to this problem, but if their teams are happy with the cost cap and breaking things every race, it's okay for them."
Those final words are particularly interesting given that Williams team principal James Vowles has repeatedly called for a rethink of the cost cap. With this comment, however, Alonso subtly makes it clear that avoiding damage might help his team as well, even without such a rethink.
Alonso does not see the issue of driving standards as being so much about the stewards, who may not always be consistent, but rather about the teams and drivers themselves.
"No, I think the stewards, it's not their job unless there is something clearly unsafe. So it's not part of the stewards' job. It's just whatever ambition those drivers have, whatever they want for the future.
"If they want to stay in Formula 1 for longer, if they want to have an opportunity to get into a bigger team, or if they are happy to crash."
