维斯塔潘与劳森澄清练习赛接触，拒谈小红牛席位
维斯塔潘在墨西哥城大奖赛排位赛位列第四，但因与劳森在第二节练习中发生接触被罚退一位，正赛将从第三排起步。两人周六上午已就此事沟通，维斯塔潘对2027年小红牛席位归属保持沉默。
维斯塔潘与劳森澄清了此前的紧张气氛，但对小红牛F1席位仍闭口不谈。
两位车手周六上午都谈到了他们在墨西哥练习赛中的那次接触。被问及谁配得上2027年的小红牛席位时，维斯塔潘只说，这位新秀让这个决定变得非常困难。
维斯塔潘在F1墨西哥城大奖赛排位赛中位列第四，但正赛发车格上将退后一位，这意味着他将从第三排起步。原因至少可以说很不寻常：他在第二节自由练习中与劳森发生了接触——两人都来自红牛体系的车队。
维斯塔潘周五在媒体区相当直言，他说自己“完全不知道利亚姆脑子里在想什么”，并认为这对一位仍在争取2027赛季F1席位的车手来说“不算很聪明的行为”。
当时，这一事件似乎只会产生相对较小的后果，这使得随后给出的发车位罚退更加令人意外。
“我如何看待处罚？嗯，这有点像你看其他运动时，有时会看到做出的决定。你可以同意或不同意它们，”维斯塔潘说。“当然，我对此有自己的看法，但我已经说了所有我想说的话——内部也是如此。”
国际汽联干事文件中的一个方面引人注目：那段解释说此类事件通常会导致警告，但这次干事们想树立一个榜样的段落。
部分原因是这个问题在车队经理会议上讨论过，部分原因是，在之前的练习赛事件之后，干事们觉得是时候制止这种行为了。
当被 Motorsport.com 问及维斯塔潘是否对赛会干事拿他开刀以儆效尤感到意外时，他在围场接受荷兰媒体采访时回应道：“不，这并不让我意外，因为过去这种事发生得更多——在其他事情上也是如此。但没错，事情就是这样。你对此无能为力。你看，如果他们认为这已经值得处罚，那就值得处罚……”
当被问及他是否觉得自己经常被赛会干事挑出来以儆效尤时，这位荷兰车手回答道：“我不想对此说太多。事情就是这样。”
周六上午，维斯塔潘与劳森坐下来把事情说开，据后者称，他们成功做到了这一点。
“显然，这并不理想，也是练习中绝不该发生的事，”劳森在事发一天后反思道。“我今天早上去见了马克斯道歉，因为显然我从未有意造成接触。这对我们双方都不好，我会从中吸取教训，继续前进。”
当被 Motorsport.com 问及是否对维斯塔潘周五的强硬言论感到惊讶时，这位新西兰人回应道：“我认为现在这一切也都已经澄清了。显然我昨天没有做媒体活动，但当你刚从一节练习中出来时，肾上腺素还在。”
“最终只有马克斯知道他自己的感受，但就像我说的，我从来无意发生接触，所以为此道歉。”
同样有趣的是，在荷兰媒体采访环节中，维斯塔潘被问及在他看来谁值得获得 2027 年小红牛的车手席位：劳森还是红牛青训车手尼古拉·措洛夫？
没有了前一天的沮丧，也没有了劳森提到的肾上腺素，维斯塔潘仍然没有明确支持他的前队友。
“当然，当你有很多有天赋的车手，而其中一人在某个时刻开始表现得非常出色时，这总是有点问题，”他说。“你会给那个车手机会还是不给？我会把这个问题留给车队。”
当被问及对此事的个人看法时，维斯塔潘表示他当然有自己的看法，但更愿意保留不说：“是的，我不需要说出来。”
与此同时，劳森仍在等待决定，正如他在墨西哥排位赛后反复提到的那样。当被问及对明年留在F1发车格上有多大信心时，他总结道：“F1是一项艰难的运动，所以我现在正努力做到最好，尽可能在每场比赛中得分，但决定不是我做的。”

Max Verstappen clears the air with Liam Lawson, but stays tight-lipped on Racing Bulls F1 seat
Both drivers spoke on Saturday morning about their practice clash in Mexico. Asked who deserves the Racing Bulls seat for 2027, Max Verstappen only says the emerging talent makes that decision very difficult
Max Verstappen qualified fourth for the Formula 1 Mexico City Grand Prix, but will have to drop one place on the starting grid, meaning he will start from the third row. The reason is remarkable, to say the least: contact with Liam Lawson - two drivers from the Red Bull teams during the second free practice session.
Verstappen was rather outspoken in the media pen on Friday, saying, among other things, that he had "no idea what went through Liam's head" and that he did not consider it "very smart behaviour" from someone who is still fighting for his seat for the 2027 F1 season.
At that point, it appeared that the incident would have relatively minor consequences, making the grid penalty subsequently handed out all the more surprising.
"How do I see the penalty? Well, it's a bit like when you watch other sports and sometimes see decisions being made. You can agree or disagree with them," Verstappen said. "Of course, I have my own opinion on it, but I've already said everything that I wanted to say about it – internally as well."
One aspect of the FIA stewards' document stood out: the passage explaining that such an incident would normally result in a warning, but that the stewards wanted to set an example this time.
This was partly because the subject had been discussed in the team managers' meeting and partly because, following previous practice incidents, the stewards felt it was time to put a stop to such behaviour.
Asked by Motorsport.com whether Verstappen was surprised that the stewards had used him to set an example, he responded during his Dutch media session in the paddock: "No, that doesn't surprise me, because it's happened more often in the past – with other things as well. But yeah, that's just how it is. There's nothing you can do about it. Look, if they think this is already worthy of a penalty, then it's worthy of a penalty..."
Asked whether he feels he is often singled out by the stewards to set an example, the Dutchman replied: "I don't want to say too much about that. It is what it is."
On Saturday morning, Verstappen sat down with Lawson to clear the air, which, according to the latter, they managed to do.
"Obviously, it's not ideal and something that should never happen in practice," Lawson reflected a day after the incident. "I went to see Max this morning to apologise, because obviously it was never my intention to make contact. It’s not good for both of us, I'll learn from it going forward."
Asked by Motorsport.com whether he had been surprised by Verstappen's strong words on Friday, the New Zealander responded: "I think that’s all cleared up as well now. Obviously I didn't do media yesterday, but when you come in straight from a session, there's still adrenaline.
"Ultimately only Max knows how he feels, but, like I said, it was never my intention to have contact, so apologies for that."
At least as interesting was the moment during the Dutch media session when Verstappen was asked who, in his view, deserves the Racing Bulls seat for 2027: Lawson or Red Bull junior Nikola Tsolov?
Without the frustration of the previous day and without the adrenaline Lawson had referred to, Verstappen still stopped short of unequivocally backing his former team-mate.
"That's always a bit of a problem, of course, when you have a lot of talented drivers and one of them starts doing really well at a certain point," he said. "Are you going to give that driver a chance or not? I'll leave that to the team."
Asked for his personal opinion on the matter, Verstappen indicated that he certainly had one, but preferred to keep it to himself: "Yeah, I don't need to say that."
Meanwhile, Lawson is still waiting for a decision, as he repeated after qualifying in Mexico. Asked how confident he was of remaining on the Formula 1 grid next year, he concluded: "Formula 1's a tough sport, so I'm trying to do my best at the moment, trying to score in every race that I can, but I don't make that decision."
