致迈凯伦车迷。来自沃金的木瓜色新闻,带来车手、赛车、车队策略以及每个比赛周末的最新消息。
拥有一台顶级赛车和两位极快的车手,正是每位一级方程式车队领队梦寐以求的。但正如迈凯伦很快发现的那样,两位极具竞争力的核心人物争夺同一段赛道,通常会引发火花。
在新加坡大奖赛上,兰多·诺里斯和奥斯卡·皮亚斯特里之间发生了一场备受关注的赛道冲突,此后木瓜色车库内的气氛明显紧张。随着F1围场来到德克萨斯州奥斯汀的美洲赛道,诺里斯终于透露了碳纤维碎片停止飞溅后举行的闭门会议的一些情况。
在周四的媒体日上,天空体育F1的泰德·克拉维茨就当前的交战规则向诺里斯施压。克拉维茨开玩笑地问诺里斯,是否仍然允许他对任何人“抢占空隙”,只要不是他的队友。
“我甚至可以对奥斯卡抢占空隙,”诺里斯迅速回击道。

克拉克维茨感到惊讶,迈凯伦首席执行官扎克·布朗竟然没有彻底立下规矩、禁止两位队友之间所有轮对轮缠斗,于是他问诺里斯是否设法从老板办公室脱身、没被痛骂一顿。
“哦不,我被训了不少,也被说了很多话,”这位卫冕冠军承认道。
尽管管理层显然对新加坡事件表达了不满,迈凯伦还是决定不实施严格的队内指令。两位车手仍然可以自由争夺位置,前提是不能把对方撞上墙、从而让车队损失宝贵的制造商锦标赛积分。
“我们仍然被允许比赛,我们仍然被允许,是的,我们仍然被允许比赛,”诺里斯解释道,并特意澄清了车队设定的确切界限。“但当然,我们不能让上周末发生的事以及已经发生的事——甚至可以说去年在这里发生的事——再次发生,所以不,我们被允许比赛,但显然我们不能有碰撞,我们必须在任何可能的机会中避免这种情况。”
美国大奖赛的赛程采用传统比赛格式,诺里斯渴望利用三节完整的练习赛来调校他的赛车设定,并彻底抛开队内风波。
“很多,但我们现在在奥斯汀,所以我期待这个周末,把过去抛在身后,并为奥斯汀感到兴奋,”他表示。“这是我热爱的一条赛道,已经准备好出发了。”

Lando Norris reveals “plenty of telling-offs” after Singapore Oscar Piastri crash
Lando Norris confirms he received a serious talking-to from management after colliding with team-mate Oscar Piastri in Singapore
For McLaren fans. Papaya news from Woking, with the latest on the drivers, the car, team strategy and every race weekend.
Having two incredibly fast drivers in top-tier machinery is exactly what every Formula 1 team principal dreams of. But, as McLaren is quickly finding out, having two hyper-competitive alphas fighting for the same piece of asphalt usually leads to fireworks.
Following a highly publicised on-track clash between Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri at the Singapore Grand Prix, the atmosphere inside the papaya garage has been noticeably tense. As the F1 paddock descends on the Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas, Norris is finally shedding some light on the closed-door meetings that took place after the carbon fibre stopped flying.
During Thursday's media day, Sky Sports F1's Ted Kravitz pressed Norris on the current rules of engagement. Kravitz jokingly asked if Norris was still allowed to "go for a gap" on anyone as long as it wasn't his team-mate.
"I can go for a gap on Oscar even," Norris quickly shot back.

Surprised that McLaren CEO Zak Brown didn't completely lay down the law and ban all wheel-to-wheel combat between the team-mates, Kravitz asked if Norris managed to escape the boss's office without getting chewed out.
"Oh no, I got plenty of telling-offs and plenty of words have been said," the reigning champ admitted.
While management clearly made their frustrations known regarding the Singapore incident, McLaren has decided not to implement strict team orders. Both drivers are still free to fight for position, provided they don't cost the team valuable Constructors' Championship points by putting each other in the wall.
"We're still allowed to race, we're still allowed to, yeah, we're still allowed to race," Norris explained, making sure to clarify the exact boundary lines set by the team. "But of course we can't have what happened last weekend and what has happened, even say here last year, we can't have that happening, so no, we're allowed to race, but obviously we can't have a coming together, and we have to avoid that in any opportunity possible."
With a traditional race format on the schedule for the US Grand Prix, Norris is eager to use the three full practice sessions to dial in his set-up and completely move past the intra-team drama.
"A lot, but we're in Austin now, so I'm looking forward to this weekend, putting the past behind me, and excited for Austin," he stated. "It's a track I love and ready to get going."
