Otmar Szafnauer敦促法拉利不要用正式的赛季中期谈话去干预夏尔·勒克莱尔,而是让他自己处理问题
前阿尔派车队领队Otmar Szafnauer建议法拉利管理层不要把夏尔·勒克莱尔叫去进行正式的赛季中期面谈,坚称这支马拉内罗车队应该'别去管他',让他自己度过与刘易斯·汉密尔顿共处期间的艰难阶段。
Szafnauer与前法拉利比赛工程师Rob Smedley以及主持人Jake Humphrey一起做客High Performance 比赛播客,在2026赛季的中期回顾节目中分享了他的见解。
法拉利以307分位居车队积分榜第二进入赛季中段休整期,落后领跑者梅赛德斯72分。
汉密尔顿在巴塞罗那-加泰罗尼亚大奖赛上取得了他效力于车队的首场大奖赛胜利,并四次登上领奖台,目前以169分位居车手积分榜第二。与此同时,勒克莱尔在英国大奖赛夺冠,三次登上领奖台,并在摩纳哥和西班牙两次退赛,目前以138分位居积分榜第四。
当汉弗莱问及车队领队应如何进行赛季中期的谈话来应对勒克莱尔的状态时,萨夫瑙尔强烈反对这种“干预”的想法。
“不,”萨夫瑙尔说,“别去打扰他。我不会找他谈话,而是会给予支持。”

Szafnauer解释道:“年初的时候,我不是在讲事实,只是我的一种感觉,Lewis领先Leclerc的幅度比现在要更大一些。我认为Charles在最近两场比赛里向Lewis追近了一些。”
Smedley表达了同样的看法,他指出,面对队内劣势对这位摩纳哥车手来说是很少见的经历。
Smedley解释说:“我认为这是很长时间以来,Charles第一次遇到队友对他拥有明显优势的情况。”
"Charles对这辆车并不满意。我知道他们更改了刹车系统周围的部件、材料种类之类的东西,但对于一个拥有他这样经验、并且如此出色的车手来说,他当时的感觉就像是有点迷失了。"

Otmar Szafnauer tells Ferrari to 'leave Charles Leclerc alone' amid Lewis Hamilton battle
Otmar Szafnauer has urged Ferrari to leave Charles Leclerc alone rather than intervene with a formal mid-season discussion
Former Alpine team principal Otmar Szafnauer has advised Ferrari management against calling Charles Leclerc in for a formal mid-season sit-down, insisting the Maranello outfit should "leave him alone" as he works through a challenging period alongside Lewis Hamilton.
Speaking on the High Performance Racing podcast alongside former Ferrari race engineer Rob Smedley and host Jake Humphrey, Szafnauer offered his insights during a mid-season review of the 2026 championship.
Ferrari entered the mid-season break sitting second in the constructors' standings on 307 points, trailing leader Mercedes by 72 points.
Hamilton sits second in the drivers' standings with 169 points after securing his first grand prix victory with the team at the Barcelona-Catalunya Grand Prix and four podium finishes. Meanwhile, Leclerc is fourth in the standings with 138 points after securing a win at the British Grand Prix, three podium finishes, and two retirements in Monaco and Spain.
When Humphrey asked how a team principal should conduct a mid-season conversation to address Leclerc's form, Szafnauer strongly rejected the idea of an intervention.
"No," Szafnauer said. "Leave him alone. I would not have a conversation, but be supportive.

"Lewis at the beginning of the year, and I'm not speaking from facts, just the feeling I get, was a little bit more ahead of Leclerc than he is now," Szafnauer explained. "I think Charles has stepped it up in the last two a little bit towards Lewis."
Smedley echoed those sentiments, noting that facing an intra-team deficit was a rare experience for the Monegasque driver.
"I think this is the first time in a long time with Charles where his team-mate has had a significant upper hand," Smedley explained.
"Charles wasn't happy with the car. I know that they changed components around the braking system, types of material and stuff like that, but it felt like he was just slightly lost for a driver of his experience and how good he is."
