汉密尔顿解释新加坡站无视法拉利进站指令
汉密尔顿解释在新加坡大奖赛虚拟安全车期间为何无视法拉利进站指令，承认自己做出错误决定并承担责任。
刘易斯·汉密尔顿公开讲述了他在F1最近的新加坡大奖赛中如何选择无视法拉利在虚拟安全车下进站的指令——这引发了导致他比赛失利的策略混乱。
汉密尔顿在滨海湾赛道原本有望登上领奖台，当时他紧随最终获得亚军的法拉利队友夏尔·勒克莱尔，但在虚拟安全车期间，尽管维修墙发出进站指令，汉密尔顿错过了进站机会，他的比赛因此崩盘。
赛后出现了混乱，因为F1转播信号问题导致法拉利与汉密尔顿在此期间的无线电通讯从未被听到。
法拉利坚称汉密尔顿与勒克莱尔同时被叫进站，但未解释汉密尔顿为何没有进站。汉密尔顿本人也在新加坡周日晚因赛后身体不适未接受媒体采访。
在美国大奖赛之前，汉密尔顿终于透露了新加坡站发生的事情——并承认是他推翻了车队的指令，而不是错过了维修区入口。
“我当时正驶向维修区入口，我不知道勒克莱尔也要进站，因为我想他刚刚才停过，”汉密尔顿解释道。
“在瞬间做出的决定中，我选择留在外面。而当我与维修区并排时，我意识到这很可能是错误的决定。但我承认了这一点，承担了责任，然后继续前进。”
另一个影响汉密尔顿新加坡站比赛的因素是采用了不同的策略起步，他在第一阶段使用中性胎的决定适得其反。
回顾那次策略选择，汉密尔顿表示他之所以走那条路线，是因为他觉得只有采取不同的做法，才有可能击败速度更快的、由马克斯·维斯塔潘驾驶的红牛赛车并拿下胜利。
“我一直在寻找取胜的办法，”汉密尔顿说，“我一直在考虑做一些可能不同的尝试，我希望采用不同的策略，而不是像查尔斯那样使用相同的策略，只是互相跟随。
“最终，我们以为马克斯可能会更快，而策略多少让我们以第二和第三名完赛，这对我来说还不够。我想要有选择，看看还有什么可能。
“如果中性胎能坚持更久，也许我们可以在比赛中跑得更深。但当我开始跑的时候情况并非如此，而且第一阶段（stint）感觉并不好。
然后很明显，在查尔斯身后出来，最终因为他在更慢的轮胎上而损失了大量时间，而我一开始用的也是那种轮胎，我在软胎上有速度，情况可能与赞德沃特有些类似。
汉密尔顿最终获得第六名，因为他的轮胎在最后阶段性能衰退，让对手超越了他。
但尽管对这场比赛深感失望，而且“接下来几天感觉不太好”，汉密尔顿表示已经与法拉利一起梳理了问题，以确保未来不会犯类似错误。
他觉得过去之所以如此成功，部分原因是他愿意尝试不同的东西。
他说：“我们在幕后进行了良好的对话，讨论如何更好地合作，以及如何更好地协作。”
“但我认为，在幕后合作的效果方面，没有任何变化。”
“我真心相信，我的职责不是一味随大流，而是不断挑战车队，也包括挑战我自己，不断挑战常规，这正是我走到今天这一步的原因。我不会回避这一点。”
“有时候事情进展不顺，那就是其中之一。但你要活下去，改日再战，我们作为一个团队同赢同输。所以我们一起承担压力和代价。”
“当我为车队丢掉积分时，这确实很让人痛心。这不是我经常做的事，但我会加倍努力，确保这种情况不再发生。”
英文原文
Lewis Hamilton has opened up on how he chose to ignore Ferrari’s order to pit under the virtual safety car at Formula 1's recent Singapore Grand Prix – triggering the strategy mess that derailed his race.
Hamilton had looked on course to take a podium finish at the Marina Bay circuit as he shadowed eventual runner-up and Ferrari team-mate Charles Leclerc, but Hamilton's race came undone after he missed the opportunity to pit under VSC, despite a call to do so from his pit wall.
There was confusion post-race about what occurred because problems with F1's broadcast feed meant Ferrari's radio communications with Hamilton around this time were never heard.
Ferrari insisted Hamilton had been called in at the same time as Leclerc, and it offered no explanation for why Hamilton didn't pit. Hamilton himself also did not speak to the media on Sunday night in Singapore after feeling unwell following the race.
Ahead of the United States Grand Prix, Hamilton finally shed light on what happened in Singapore – and admitted he overruled the call from his team, rather than missed the pit entry.
“I was coming towards the pit lane entry, and I didn't know Charles was coming in because I think just recently he had stopped,” explained Hamilton.
“In a split second decision, I decided to stay out. And as soon as I was alongside the pit lane, I realised it's probably the wrong decision. But I owned up to it, took responsibility for it, and you move on.”
The other element that hurt Hamilton’s Singapore race was starting on the alternative strategy, with his call to run mediums in the first stint backfiring.
Reflecting on that call, Hamilton said he went down that route because he felt that doing something different was the only way there was a chance of pulling off a victory against the faster Red Bull of Max Verstappen.
“I'm always looking at ways to win,” Hamilton said. “I'm always looking at doing potentially something different, and I wanted to be on a different strategy, not just the same strategy as Charles, where we just follow each other.
“Ultimately, we assumed Max would be potentially quicker, and the strategy kind of showed us finishing second and third, and that's not enough for me. I wanted to have options and see what could be possible.
“If the medium tyre could last longer, maybe we could go deeper into the race. But it wasn't the case when I got going, and it didn't feel great in the first stint.
“Then obviously coming out behind Charles and losing a lot of time ultimately with him on a slower tyre, which I was on at the beginning, I had the pace on the soft was a bit of a similar scenario to maybe Zandvoort.”
Hamilton eventually finished sixth, after his tyres fell off in the closing stages and allowed rivals to overtake him.
But despite the deep disappointment of the race, and the fact “the next couple of days didn’t feel great”, Hamilton says that things have been run through with Ferrari to ensure that similar mistakes are not made in the future.
He feels part of the reason he has been so successful in the past is that he has been willing to try different things.
“We've had good conversations in the background of how we can do better together, and how we can collaborate better,” he said.
“But I think that nothing's changed in terms of how well we work together in the background.
“I truly believe my job is rather than to follow suit always, is to continuously challenge the team and myself including, and just constantly challenging the norms, and that's ultimately how I've got to where I am. I will not shy away from that.
“Sometimes it doesn't go well, and that was one of those. But you live to fight another day, and we win and we lose as a team. So we carry the weight and the costs together.
“It definitely hurts when I lose points for the team. It's not something I do very often, but I'll double the efforts to make sure that doesn't happen again.”
