从国际象棋到蒙扎杆位：加斯利一天内两次击败拉塞尔
在蒙扎排位赛中，皮埃尔·加斯利以0.060秒优势击败赛前热门乔治·拉塞尔，夺得其九年F1生涯首个杆位，这也是他继2020年在此夺冠后又一次高光时刻。
从国际象棋网站到蒙扎杆位：加斯利如何在一个下午两次击败拉塞尔
加斯利在周六下午的惊人杆位并非他对拉塞尔的唯一胜利——在排位赛开始前，他还在一场线上国际象棋对局中击败了这位梅赛德斯车手
皮埃尔·加斯利周六在蒙扎创造了本赛季一级方程式最大的惊喜之一，在这个他2020年赢得唯一一场一级方程式分站冠军的赛道上，爆冷拿下杆位。
这位法国车手在排位赛的最后一分钟，以仅0.060秒的优势击败了他最接近的对手、也是赛前热门的拉塞尔，取得了他九年一级方程式生涯中的首个杆位。
两人在赛后透露，这并不是加斯利第一次在周六击败拉塞尔——就在排位赛开始前几分钟，他们还刚结束了一盘线上国际象棋对局。
"向皮埃尔表示巨大的祝贺，因为那是一个不可思议的表现，"拉塞尔在排位赛后新闻发布会上说。"实际上在排位赛开始前大约15分钟，我们刚刚结束了一盘国际象棋对局，他赢了，我当时想：'好吧，我想排位赛上我会赢你，'结果现在，他又排在我前面了。
"所以，是的，向他表示巨大的祝贺。当然，没有拿到杆位我很失望。"
加斯利说，他直到周五才知道拉塞尔也会下国际象棋，两人随后在最大的线上国际象棋平台上互换了账号，并且已经下了几盘棋。
"嗯，我是说，从昨晚的车手简报会开始，我发现他对象棋很痴迷，"加斯利说。"我也对象棋很痴迷。围场里有几个车手都对象棋很着迷。所以我们刚刚在Chess.com上互换了账号ID，已经下了几盘棋，一盘是昨天下完的，另一盘一直下到了今天。"
皮埃尔·加斯利与他的表现教练本·索恩
"而且我必须说，在排位赛之前，我感觉相当自信，因为我一颗接一颗地吃他的棋子。还有，说个趣事，本（索恩，表现教练）告诉我，'嗯，你在这儿赢着乔治，但几分钟后他就要赢你了。'我当时回了一句，'得了吧，别瞎说了。'
"结果呢，确实进行得很顺利。所以说，这一切挺有趣的。我觉得我们都非常有竞争心，无论是在赛道上还是赛道外，我们都需要在力所能及的每个地方找到属于我们的小较量。"
国际象棋已经成为几位F1车手的爱好，法拉利车队的刘易斯·汉密尔顿和夏尔·勒克莱尔经常互相对弈是出了名的。卡洛斯·塞恩斯也是一名公认的国际象棋爱好者。

From Chess.com to Monza pole: How Pierre Gasly beat George Russell twice in one afternoon
Gasly's sensational pole wasn't his only win over Russell on Saturday afternoon - as he also defeated the Mercedes driver in an online chess game right before qualifying kicked off
Pierre Gasly delivered one of the biggest sensations of the Formula 1 season on Saturday at Monza, scoring a shock pole position at the track where he claimed his only Formula 1 victory back in 2020.
The Frenchman beat his closest challenger and pre-session favourite George Russell by just 0.060s in the dying minutes of qualifying - earning his first-ever pole position in his nine-year F1 career.
The pair revealed afterwards that it wasn't the first defeat Gasly had inflicted on Russell on Saturday - as they had also just finished an online chess game minutes before the start of qualifying.
"Massive congrats to Pierre because that’s an incredible performance," Russell said at the post-qualifying press conference. "We were actually finishing a game of chess about 15 minutes before qualifying and he beat me there, and I thought, 'Well, I think I’ll beat you in qualifying,' and here we are, he’s ahead of me again.
"So, yeah, huge congrats to him. Of course, I was disappointed not to get the pole position."
Gasly said he only found out on Friday that Russell was also a chess player, with the pair exchanging their accounts on the biggest online chess platform and already playing a couple of games.
"Well, I mean, since the [drivers'] briefing last night, I figured out that he’s obsessed with chess," Gasly said. "I am obsessed with chess. We have a few in the paddock, a few drivers, to be obsessed with it. So, we’ve just exchanged our IDs on Chess.com and we’ve had a little game going on, one yesterday, another one that carried on to today.
Pierre Gasly with his performance coach Ben Thorne
"And I must say, before the quali, I felt pretty confident because I was picking piece after piece. And, yeah, again, for the fun story, Ben [Thorne, performance coach] told me, 'Well, you’re getting George here, but he’s going to get you in a few minutes.' I was like, 'Yeah, fuck off.'
"Turned out that, yeah, it worked out well. So, yeah, it’s been fun. I think we are very competitive and, whether it’s on the track or off the track, we do need to find our little battles everywhere we can."
Chess has become a hobby for several F1 drivers, with Ferrari duo Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc known to regularly play against each other. Carlos Sainz is also known to be a keen player.
