摩纳哥上诉裁决未激发加斯利蒙扎杆位动力
皮埃尔·加斯利表示,国际汽联国际上诉法院剥夺其摩纳哥大奖赛领奖台的决定并未激发他在蒙扎取得杆位的动力。此前,国际上诉法院推翻了摩纳哥赛会干事因维修区测量不准确而取消加斯利超速处罚的决定。
摩纳哥大奖赛上诉裁决并未激发皮埃尔·加斯利在蒙扎F1夺杆的动力
加斯利表示,失去摩纳哥领奖台本周末对他而言反而是一种负面影响
皮埃尔·加斯利表示,他本希望国际汽联国际上诉法庭没有做出剥夺他F1摩纳哥大奖赛领奖台位置的裁决,此后他在蒙扎夺得了杆位。
国际上诉法庭推翻了摩纳哥赛事干事的判罚,该判罚原本取消了加斯利在摩纳哥比赛中因维修区超速受到的处罚,原因是维修区距离测量被发现不准确。在冲线时位列第三、被降级至第七、随后又恢复第三之后,这位阿尔派车手最终在比赛的最终成绩中被列为第七名。
不到24小时之后,加斯利在意大利大奖赛上爆冷夺得个人F1生涯首个杆位,以0.060秒的优势击败梅赛德斯的乔治·拉塞尔,因此他被问及ICA的决定是否提供了“一点额外的动力”。
“我觉得关于这件事我说不了太多,我只能说这不是一个令人愉快的局面,并不理想,”这位法国车手回答道。“显然,我尽量把所有事情都转化为积极的东西和额外的动力,但我觉得这个周末要是没有这件事会更好。是的,我就说这么多。”
在自由练习赛第一节为阿尔派储备车手保罗·阿隆让位以满足新秀参赛要求而缺席后,加斯利在FP2中仅排第14位,FP3排第9位,但在排位赛中大幅跃升,Q1第一,Q2第四,Q3显然拿下最快时间——他认为这要归功于车队的“完美执行”。
“我们知道在练习赛里还留有一些余地,”加斯利评论道,“然后我认为车队执行得非常出色,始终把我放在赛道上很好的位置,尽我们所能管理好与前车的差距,真的。
“我的最后一圈,我设法瞄准了比刘易斯·汉密尔顿(汉密尔顿)慢大约2.5秒出头的位置,当时他速度会很快,多少能带着我一起跑。所以,我认为这是一次完美的执行。
“赛车的平衡性可能是我今年迄今为止体验过的最好的一次,真的。这再次给了我信心去全力攻克这些弯角,让赛车带着一些滑动去跑、去摸索,而我们在最后一节至关重要的计时圈里成功地把它发挥了出来。
不过,对加斯利(Gasly)来说,想要夺冠依然是件难事,因为大多数领先车手都排在他身后的发车位置上——除了积分榜领跑者基米·安东内利(安东内利),他因超出动力单元配额限制将从第20位发车。
“这显然会很棒。我处在最有利的位置,对吧?”加斯利坚持说道,“我从第一位发车,前面没有其他人。我只需要专注于自己的驾驶,你知道的,我知道在这条赛道上前面没有车是什么感觉,所以这是一个很大的优势,而且很可能是实现目标最好的条件。”
六年前,一次时机凑巧的安全车介入让Gasly跃居车群前列;他在最后26圈领跑,顶住了塞恩斯的压力,拿下了他首个——也是迄今为止唯一一个——分站冠军。“不过接下来,嗯,这会是一场漫长的比赛,”他思索道。
“其实我感觉相当不错。显然还比不上我们周围这些车手的节奏,但从昨天到今天,我们似乎提升了不少速度。所以,我们显然会全力以赴,看看能取得什么样的成绩。不过,是的,我很期待。”

Monaco GP appeal ruling didn’t spur Pierre Gasly’s motivation for Monza F1 pole
Gasly losing his Monaco podium has been, if anything, a negative this weekend, the Alpine racer suggested
Pierre Gasly says he could have done without the FIA’s International Court of Appeal decision to strip him of his Formula 1 Monaco Grand Prix podium, having since taken pole position in Monza.
The ICA overruled the Monaco stewards’ call to overturn Gasly’s pitlane speeding penalties from the Monaco race after the pitlane measurements were found to be inaccurate. After crossing the finish line in third, being demoted to seventh and recovering third, the Alpine driver has eventually been classified seventh in the final classification of the race.
A little over 24 hours later, Gasly took a shock maiden F1 pole at the Italian Grand Prix, outpacing Mercedes’ George Russell by 0.060s, so he was asked if the ICA’s decision was providing ‘a bit of extra motivation’.
“I don’t think I can say much about this and all I can say is it’s not a nice situation, not ideal,” the Frenchman replied. “Obviously, I try to use everything I can into something positive and extra motivation, but I think I could have dealt without it this weekend. Yeah, that’s all I’ll say.”
After missing Free Practice 1 for Alpine reserve driver Paul Aron to fulfil rookie requirements, Gasly was just 14th in FP2 and ninth in FP3, but leapt forward in qualifying with first in Q1, fourth in Q2 and obviously the fastest time in Q3 – which he believes was down to “perfect execution” from the team.
“We knew that there was a bit more on the table in the practice sessions,” Gasly commented, “and then I think it was a very good execution from the team, always putting me in a great position on track, managing the gap as best we could, really.
“My last lap, managed to target slightly over 2.5 seconds behind Lewis [Hamilton] when he was going to be fast and sort of drag me with him. So, I think it was perfect execution.
“The car balance is probably one of the best I’ve had so far this year, really. Again, gave me the confidence to attack all these corners and sliding around and playing around with the car, and we managed to make it work in that last run when everything mattered.”
Still, winning will be a tall order for Gasly, with most frontrunners right behind him on the grid – except championship leader Kimi Antonelli, who will start from 20th after exceeding his power unit allowance.
“It’s going to be obviously great. I’m in the best position, right?” Gasly insisted. “I’m starting first, got no one ahead of me. I just got to focus on my driving and, you know, I know what it looks like having no one around this track, so that’s a good advantage and probably the best place to do it.”
Six years ago, a fortunately timed safety car intervention vaulted Gasly to the front of the pack; he led for the last 26 laps, withstanding Carlos Sainz’s pressure on his way to a maiden – and so far only – victory. “But then, yeah, it’s going to be a long race,” he pondered.
“I actually felt quite good. Obviously not to the pace of these guys around us, but we seem to have picked up more pace from yesterday to today. So, we’ll obviously give our best shot and see what we can get out of it. But, yeah, I’m excited.”
