麦克拉伦不对诺里斯在新加坡碰撞事件进行处罚
兰多·诺里斯在新加坡大奖赛冲刺赛中与队友奥斯卡·皮亚斯蒂发生碰撞后,麦克拉伦决定不对诺里斯进行任何体育处罚。
兰多·诺里斯在新加坡短道赛中与队友奥斯卡·皮亚斯特里发生碰撞,但车队在F1赛事间隙进一步讨论后,他不会面临任何体育方面的后果。
诺里斯试图在新加坡短道赛最后一圈超越皮亚斯特里争夺第四名,但他过于乐观的转向5号弯右弯道让皮亚斯特里措手不及。
他们发生了碰撞,诺里斯跌至第八名,皮亚斯特里退赛——这让车队负责人安德烈亚·斯特拉极为沮丧,甚至表示他对此类道歉不感兴趣。
在周末中期,麦凯轮车队将此事搁置,斯特拉表示在新加坡之后还需要进一步讨论。在本周的美国大奖赛之前,麦凯轮的赛前预告中引用了诺里斯的言论,他说:"我对我的错误负责,并从中学习。"
“这个车队是我每个周末的动力,我的目标是通过提高、做出更好的决定以及以最佳的方式代表车队来回报每个人付出的辛勤努力。”
这被认为是麦凯轮车队对这件事情的最终处理方式。
去年,当诺里斯在新加坡意外撞到皮亚斯特里时,麦凯轮车队在下一场比赛中对诺里斯实施了轻微的体育制裁——而这场比赛正是美国大奖赛,在奥斯汀举行。
皮亚斯特里被允许选择他离开维修区的顺序,这个特权原本应该在整个赛季剩余的时间里保持有效,但在皮亚斯特里在奥斯汀的冲刺赛中撞到诺里斯的那个周末,这个特权被撤销了。
这次,麦凯轮决定采取不同的方法,皮亚斯特里也接受了这一点。
他们的讨论不再只是关于诺里斯是否对碰撞负责——这是去年问题的关键——而是更希望他理解这个动作本身是不必要的。
诺里斯最初认为这个动作可以进行,他有理由这么做,但他在新加坡周日已经改变了自己的立场。
麦凯轮对这次超车有异议,因为即使诺里斯成功完成了这个动作,它也不会改变麦凯轮的结果,因为他几乎肯定无法随后超越查尔斯·勒克莱尔——勒克莱尔在整个比赛中都领先皮亚斯特里。
他目前在锦标赛中的位置并不值得为了自己额外的一分而冒那样的风险去对抗队友。
因此,虽然斯特拉暗示当他说自己不感兴趣于车手们说对不起时可能会有后果,但优先级是诺里斯实际上理解了他的错误判断,而不是仅仅为了道歉而道歉。
英文原文
Lando Norris will not face any sporting repercussion for the collision he had with McLaren team-mate Oscar Piastri in the Singapore sprint after the team discussed the matter further between Formula 1 races.
Norris attempted to pass Piastri for fourth place on the last lap of the sprint race in Singapore, with his over-optimistic move into the Turn 5 right-hander catching Piastri by surprise.
They collided, Norris dropped to eighth and Piastri retired - leaving team principal Andrea Stella extremely frustrated and even going as far as saying that he was not interested in apologies.
As this happened mid-weekend McLaren parked the issue and Stella said it still needed further discussions after Singapore. Ahead of this week's United States Grand Prix, McLaren's preview included a quote from Norris in which he said: "I take responsibility for my mistakes, and I learn from them.
"This team is my motivation every weekend, and my aim is to repay the hard work everyone puts in by improving, making better decisions, and representing the team in the best possible way."
This is understood to be McLaren's way of drawing a line under the matter.
Last year, when coincidentally Norris hit Piastri in Singapore, McLaren imposed a light sporting sanction on Norris at the next race - which, again, was the US GP at Austin.
Piastri was allowed to pick which order he left the garage, a perk that was meant to stand for the remainder of the season, but was revoked that very weekend when Piastri hit Norris in the Austin sprint.
This time around, McLaren has decided the situation merited a different approach, which Piastri has also accepted.
Its discussions have been less about establishing whether Norris was responsible for the contact - which was the crux of the matter 12 months ago - and more wanting him to understand the move itself was unnecessary.
Norris was initially of the view that the move was on, and he was justified in going for it, but he had already climbed down from that stance by Sunday in Singapore.
McLaren took issue with the pass because even if Norris had pulled it off, it would not have changed McLaren's result as he would almost certainly not have been able to then overtake Charles Leclerc - who had run ahead of Piastri all race.
And he is not in a position in the championship where an extra point for himself was worth justifying a risk like that against his team-mate.
So, while Stella implied there could be consequences coming when he said he was not interested in the drivers saying sorry, the priority was being satisfied Norris actually understood his misjudgement rather than getting an apology for the sake of it.
