对手反驳阿隆索称F1车手水平低
阿隆索在美国大奖赛后称车队后段车手水平“非常低”，并在墨西哥重申这一说法，但阿尔本等对手并不认同。
费尔南多·阿隆索的F1对手们反驳了这位西班牙车手关于车队后段车手水平“非常低”的说法。
这位阿斯顿·马丁车手是在美国大奖赛后发表上述言论的，此前他在第一圈与亚历克斯·阿尔本发生碰撞，导致赛车受损，并错失了拿分的机会。
周四在墨西哥的F1围场里，阿隆索的不满依然明显，他重申了自己的说法，但其他车手并不认同他关于水平不足的观点。
阿尔本正是阿隆索批评的对象，阿隆索认为正是阿尔本那次激进的举动引发了碰撞，但阿尔本认为自己并没有特别做错什么，也不觉得水平有所欠缺。
“我认为那是一场精彩的较量，”阿尔本谈到他与阿隆索的对抗时说道。“我觉得我们之间有一场很好的缠斗。
“显然他并不这么认为。但那是一场持续整场比赛的较量。即便是那个时刻的事件本身，我认为就赛车在赛道上的位置而言，那是相当五五开的情况。”
当被问及阿隆索加倍强调其言论——即F1在部分排名靠后车手的驾驶方式上存在问题——时，阿尔本坚持了自己的立场。
“我的意思是，我也会加倍坚持我所说的话，”他说。“我对费尔南多怀有极大的敬意。我小时候非常仰慕他，显然在很多方面听到那些评论并不好受。你正在与你所仰慕的人比赛。
“但与此同时，我并不同意。就这么简单。我认为整个发车格上下水平的强度都很高。
“我认为10到15年前，发车格后半段并不是现在这样。我们不再有付费车手了。所以是的，就是这样。希望这个周末的比赛中我们不会在弯角或路线上相遇。
周四，阿隆索被追问他在奥斯汀赛后发表的言论，他强调自己关于发车格后三分之一车手的评论并不是要单独针对某个具体数量的车手。
但他坚称，他认为有些车手在F1中表现出的水平没有达到必要标准。
“我并没有具体说有多少人，但我想我们都知道我们说的是哪些人，以及哪些人觉得那条评论冒犯了自己，”他说。“所以这就说明了一切。”
“所以我仍然有同样的感觉。那是一个不必要的错误。我仍然难以理解的是，阿历克斯在那个时刻看到了什么机会。”
“但不只是奥斯汀。不幸的是，整个赛季我都处在比赛的的那个位置，所以我从车里看到了一些我无能为力的事情。”
阿隆索承认，驾驶竞争力较弱的赛车比在前排更困难，但他认为这不是驾驶不佳的借口。
他补充道：“他们的抓地力更少，所以失误出现得更频繁，因为你没有那种处于掌控之中的环境。赛车不会以友好的方式迎接你。所以你会犯更多错误。”
“但我并不觉得第一圈的所有事故、所有碰撞、所有飞来飞去的前翼——所有这些事情都是必要的。”
“尤其是当你在队尾毫无意义地缠斗时，还有预算帽，也让这个问题雪上加霜。但你知道，如果他们的车队对每场比赛都撞坏东西还要遵守预算帽感到满意，那对他们来说也没问题。”
阿尔本并不是唯一一位不同意阿隆索对当前F1发车阵容下游车手能力水平评价的车手。
法拉利的夏尔·勒克莱尔表示，即使对于那些难以取得好成绩的车手来说，车手水平也“非常高”。
提到阿尔本时，勒克莱尔说他“非常出色”，并指出还有其他车手“在整个青训生涯中都表现突出”。
他补充道：“我确信发车区的水平超级、超级高，无论是在后排、中游还是前排。唯一明显变化的是我们驾驶的赛车，但标准非常高。”
阿尔派 的皮埃尔·加斯利今年尽管有一些亮眼表现，但仍有在车阵中比赛的经验，他觉得与几年前相比，情况有了很大改善。
加斯利说：“你不得不喜欢费尔南多在外面发表的那些言论，我非常尊重他作为一名车手的身份，同时他也非常直言不讳。”
“我没有看他的比赛，也不太确定他指的是什么，但我要说的是，考虑到我们现在拥有的所有车手，发车区上的水平大概是最高的之一。
“从我看到的来看，大概有九年了，与我刚加入时相比，我见过一些更狂野的驾驶方式。”
哈斯车队的奥利·贝尔曼认为，车队后段之所以如此紧张，只是因为竞争太激烈，不能错过取得好成绩的机会。
“我认为这个结论有点苛刻，因为我同意皮埃尔的看法，当前这个参赛阵容的水平非常高，”他针对阿隆索的说法表示。
“考虑到我们今年面临的差距，有时候你必须非常善于抓住机会，而这可能以灾难收场，就像上周我和皮埃尔那样。”
“我不会说这是实力问题。这是竭尽全力、试图有所作为的问题，当前八名几乎都被四大车队占据时，这非常具有挑战性。”
塞尔吉奥·佩雷斯认为，领先集团身后的竞争之所以更加疯狂，纯粹是因为赛车竞争力不足。
“当然，我认为后段的水平跟前面一样高，”他说。“我觉得如果我们跟前面那些人换车，我们会取得非常相似的成绩，或者反过来也一样。
“这就是一级方程式唯一的问题。你的水平取决于你的车和你的团队，所以我认为水平真的很高。而且当你看看后段那些名字时，那真的真的很高。”
英文原文
Fernando Alonso’s Formula 1 rivals have pushed back against the Spaniard’s claims that the quality of drivers in the lower third of the field is “very low”.
The Aston Martin driver spoke out after the United States Grand Prix following a first corner clash with Alex Albon that damaged his car and cost him the opportunity to take points.
Alonso's annoyance was still clear in the F1 paddock on Thursday in Mexico, as he doubled down on his remarks, but other drivers did not concur with his view that standards were lacking.
Albon himself, who was in Alonso’s crosshairs for the aggressive move that triggered their collision, saw nothing especially wrong with what he did nor felt that quality was missing.
“I thought it was a good battle,” Albon said of his fight with Alonso. “I thought we had a good scrap.
“Clearly he didn't think the same thing. But it was a race long battle. Even the incident in that point itself, I thought it was quite very 50/50 in terms of where the cars were on track.”
Asked about Alonso doubling down on his remarks that F1 had a problem with the approach of some drivers further down the order, Albon stood firm.
“I mean, I'll double down with what I said as well,” he said. “I have a huge respect for Fernando. I looked up to him a lot growing up as a kid, and obviously it's not nice to hear those comments in many ways. You're racing someone that you look up to.
“But at the same time, I don't agree. It's as simple as that. I think the level is strong up and down the grid.
“I think 10-15 years ago, the back half of the grid wasn't the way it is now. We don't have pay drivers anymore. So yeah, it is what it is. Hopefully, we don't cross corners or cross paths in the race this weekend.
Alonso was probed on his post-Austin remarks on Thursday as he emphasised that his comments about the lower third of the grid was not about singling out a specific number of drivers.
But he is adamant that there are drivers who he feels are not behaving at the level necessary in F1.
“I'm not specific on the number of them, but I think we all know which ones we talk about and which ones they felt hit by that comment,” he said. “So that tells you everything.
“So I still feel the same. It was a mistake that was not needed. What I still find difficult to understand is what was the opportunity that Alex saw in that moment.
“But it's not only Austin. I've been unfortunately in that part of the race for the whole season, so I see things from the car that I cannot help.”
Alonso accepted that racing with a less competitive car was more difficult than being at the front, but he felt that was not an excuse for poor driving.
“They have less grip, so mistakes are coming more often because you don't have the environment that is under control,” he added. “The car is not welcoming you in a nice way. So you make more mistakes.
“But I don't feel that all the incidents in lap one, all the touches, all the front wings that fly around - all these kinds of things are not necessary.
“Especially if you are fighting for nothing at the back of the grid, and there is the cost cap, also adding to this problem. But you know, if their teams are happy with the cost cap on breaking things every race, it's OK for them.”
Albon wasn't the only driver who disagreed with Alonso’s assessment about the level of ability in the lower reaches of the current F1 grid.
Ferrari's Charles Leclerc said that the level of drivers was “very high” even for those struggling to deliver good results.
Referencing Albon, Leclerc said that he was “exceptional” and that there were other drivers who “have been standing out throughout all the junior careers.”
He added: “I'm sure that the level of the grid is super, super high, whether it's in the back, in the middle, or in the front. The only thing that changes is obviously the race car that we are driving, but the standards are very high.”
Alpine’s Pierre Gasly, who has experience of racing in the pack this year despite some standout performances, felt that things were much improved compared to a few years ago.
“You’ve gotta love Fernando for the statements he makes out there, and I have so much respect for the driver he is, and at the same time he's very vocal,” said Gasly.
“I haven't seen his race and I'm not too sure what he referred to, but I will say that the level on the grid is probably one of the highest, considering all the drivers we have now.
“From what I've seen, which is maybe like nine years, I've seen some wilder driving approaches when I joined compared to what I see now.”
Haas’s Ollie Bearman reckoned that things were only so fraught towards the back of the pack because it was so competitive and opportunities to do well could not be missed.
“I think that's a slightly harsh conclusion because I agree with Pierre that the level is very high on this current grid,” he said in reference to Alonso’s claims.
“I think with the gaps that we face this year, you have to be very opportunistic at times, and that can end in disaster, like it did for me last week with myself and Pierre.
“I wouldn't say it's a question of quality. It's a question of trying your very best and trying to make something happen, which is very challenging when the top eight positions are pretty much all filled by the top four teams.”
Sergio Perez reckoned that the racing was more frenetic in the group behind the leading pack purely because the cars were not as competitive.
“Of course, I think the level at the back is as high as in the front,” he said. “I think if we swap cars with the guys at the front, we will be having very similar results, or vice versa.
“This is the only issue with Formula 1. You are as good as your car and your team, so I think the level is really high. And when you look at the names that are at the back, it's really, really high.”
