阿隆索称三分之一F1车手水平“非常低”，是否合理？
阿隆索在美国大奖赛被阿尔本撞击后退赛后，称F1围场中三分之一的车手水平“非常低”。他冷静而刻意地向媒体重复了这一说法。
三分之一的一级方程式车手水平“非常低”。这是费尔南多·阿隆索在其美国大奖赛被其中一位对手毁掉后，对部分竞争对手提出的指控。
阿隆索向广播和文字媒体重复了类似的说法，以明确表达他的信息。他表达时冷静而刻意，而非情绪化。
阿隆索很少浪费言辞，所以这不是一句随口说的话，即使他最终可能在墨西哥的周四收回这句话。
但这到底是否合理，他指的是谁，背后真正的原因是什么？
阿隆索主要感到沮丧，因为他认为自己被亚历克斯·阿尔本在11号左弯撞上他并毁掉阿斯顿·马丁赛车一半底板而剥夺了积分完赛的机会。
这是一场充满事故的比赛：奥利·贝尔曼撞上了皮埃尔·加斯利的阿尔派赛车，弗兰科·科拉平托——他在巴库撞掉了两辆车——自己打转撞上了阿维德·林德布拉德的尾部，后者在起跑线后还与塞恩斯有过一次惊险时刻，塞恩斯不敢相信这竟然不值得处罚。
阿隆索说他自己赛车的损伤让他每圈损失了“半秒甚至更多”，当他在封闭停车区跳出阿斯顿·马丁赛车看到损伤程度时，他对自己竟能完成比赛感到困惑。
他认为如果没有损伤，他本可以凭实力获得第九或第十名，并将此评为本赛季“迄今为止”最好的表现。
对阿隆索来说，空手而归格外令人沮丧，因为这本来可能是他原本惨淡的一年中难得的亮点。
我们见过他退赛，即便阿斯顿·马丁本田也找不到问题（https://www.the-race.com/formula-1/strange-fernando-阿隆索-subplot-aston-martin-weird-f1-form/），而现在他已将注意力转向其他被困在非最优赛车中的车手。
凭借他“非常低”的车手质量说法，如果指的是22名车手阵容的三分之一，我们可以推测阿隆索心中大约有七名车手，包括阿尔本。
赛会干事认定这是一起比赛事故，因为当阿尔本已经决心尝试超越阿隆索时，阿隆索也在对埃斯特班·奥康的哈斯赛车采取行动，因此可以预见三辆车挤进一个弯道以糟糕结局收场。
阿尔本的2026赛季可能是他作为威廉姆斯车手最弱的一个赛季，但他的表现仍然远高于“非常低”的水平，并且在2022至2025年的大部分时间里都是中场车手中的佼佼者之一。
阿隆索的阿斯顿·马丁队友兰斯·斯特罗尔想必被排除在外，理由是阿隆索就在三年前还称他为潜在的世界冠军。
被哈斯车队放弃的车手埃斯特班·奥康和承受压力的瓦尔特利·博塔斯也可能是候选人，但两人都是久经考验的大奖赛分站冠军得主，奥康是阿隆索更具竞争力的队友之一，而博塔斯则是在梅赛德斯与刘易斯·汉密尔顿搭档时拿下10场分站胜利的人。
科拉平托在奥斯汀的周末表现不佳，但他在马德里是与兰多·诺里斯竞争周末最佳车手的人。
新秀林德布拉德进入第三节排位的次数，比四大车队之外任何车手都多；而排名垫底的塞尔吉奥·佩雷斯则稳居凯迪拉克车队更强车手之列，并在红牛经历艰难的最后一年后重建了自己的声誉。
因此，发车区上几乎看不到任何“非常低”质量的迹象，这意味着阿隆索的说法即使经过最简短的审视也完全站不住脚。
事实上，F1发车区的质量可以说从未像2026年这样高。这与不久前相当一部分发车区由主要靠资金支持获得席位的车手组成形成了鲜明对比。
发车区后三分之一的事故频率更高，但这是因为车手们在开场圈更密集地挤在一起，需要奋力拼抢才能接近积分区，而除非发生灾难，前四大车队基本锁定了前八个位置。
这正是贝尔曼提到的他为何要对加斯利采取那次冒险动作的确切原因，也是塞恩斯在威廉姆斯车队接连发生一系列事故的同一个原因——他在法拉利的四年里几乎没有发生过这种事——因为他不得不拼命挣扎才能从一辆糟糕的赛车中榨取到任何东西。
费尔南多·阿隆索不该沦落到队尾，为偶尔的一分而苦战，但卡洛斯·塞恩斯、弗兰科·科拉平托或塞尔吉奥·佩雷斯也不该如此。或者说，发车格上的任何一位车手都不该如此，他们都已经证明过，在状态好的时候，自己可以是最棒的。
看看塞恩斯在法拉利的胜利、兰斯·斯特罗尔在棘手的伊斯坦布尔条件下拿到的杆位、佩雷斯在红牛击败马克斯·维斯塔潘的那些周末，或者奥康是如何把看似不可能的匈牙利胜利变成现实的（还多亏了阿隆索的帮忙！）。
所以很难不把这句话看作一个标志，说明阿隆索对于自己仍然远远落后于其天赋应得的位置有多么沮丧。
这就是为什么他如此渴望阿斯顿·马丁本田车队能把他从发车格的后三分之一区域拉出来，可以理解；在那个区域，即使车手再有天赋，你也总是更有可能在比赛结束时两手空空，要么丢失一半底板，要么没有丢失。
英文原文
A third of Formula 1’s grid is “very low” quality. That was the charge Fernando Alonso levelled at some of his rivals after one of them wrecked his United States Grand Prix.
Alonso repeated similar claims to the broadcast and written media to make his message clear. He was calm and deliberate in his delivery rather than emotional.
And Alonso is rarely one to waste his words, so this wasn’t a throwaway remark, even if it’s one that he might end up walking back on Thursday in Mexico.
But is it at all justified, who is he referring to and what’s really behind it?
Alonso is primarily frustrated because he believes he was robbed of a points finish by Alex Albon clattering into him at the Turn 11 left-hander and destroying half of the Aston Martin’s floor.
It was an incident-packed race: Ollie Bearman clobbered Pierre Gasly’s Alpine, Franco Colapinto - who took out two cars in Baku - spun himself off the back of Arvid Lindblad, who also had a lairy moment with Sainz off the start line that Sainz couldn’t believe didn’t merit a penalty.
Alonso says the damage to his own car cost him “half a second or more” per lap, and he was baffled how he’d been able to finish the race when he saw the extent of the damage when he jumped out of the Aston Martin in parc ferme.
He thinks he could have been ninth or 10th on merit without the damage and rated this as “by far” his best performance of the season.
It’s doubly frustrating for Alonso to walk away with nothing when this could have been a rare highlight in an otherwise miserable year.
We’ve seen him retire from races even when Aston Martin Honda can’t find an issue (https://www.the-race.com/formula-1/strange-fernando-alonso-subplot-aston-martin-weird-f1-form/) and he’s now turned his attention to other drivers stuck in sub-optimal machinery.
With his ‘very low’ driver quality claim, we can assume Alonso has around seven drivers in mind if it’s a third of the 22-driver grid, including Albon.
The stewards deemed this to be a racing incident as Alonso was also making a move on Esteban Ocon’s Haas when Albon had already committed to trying to overtake Alonso, so predictably three cars into one corner ended badly.
Albon’s 2026 season has probably been his weakest as a Williams driver, but he’s still performing well above ‘very low’ quality and was one of the standout midfield drivers for much of 2022-2025.
Alonso’s Aston Martin team-mate Lance Stroll is presumably ruled out on the basis that Alonso labelled him as a potential world champion just three years ago.
Axed Haas driver Esteban Ocon and under-pressure Valtteri Bottas could also be candidates, but both are proven grand prix winners, with Ocon one of Alonso’s more competitive team-mates, and Bottas someone who took 10 race wins as Lewis Hamilton’s Mercedes team-mate.
Colapinto’s Austin weekend was poor, but he was competing with Lando Norris to be the standout driver of the weekend in Madrid.
Rookie Lindblad has had more Q3 appearances than any other driver outside the top four teams, and last-in-the-standings Sergio Perez has firmly been the stronger Cadillac driver and rebuilt his reputation after a bruising final year with Red Bull.
So there are very few signs of any ‘very low’ quality on the grid, meaning Alonso’s claim falls completely flat against even the briefest scrutiny.
In fact, the quality of F1’s grid has arguably never been higher than in 2026. It’s a stark contrast to a good portion of the grid not so long ago being made up of drivers who primarily earned their seats through financial backing.
There is a higher frequency of incidents in the lower third of the grid, but that’s because drivers are more bunched up on opening laps and needing to scrap hard to get anywhere near the points, when, barring disaster, the top four teams have the first eight positions on lock.
It was the exact reason Bearman cited for why he went for the ambitious move on Gasly, and it’s the same reason Sainz has had a string of incidents with Williams - having had very few in four years at Ferrari - because he’s having to fight hard to get anything out of a poor car.
Fernando Alonso doesn’t deserve to be back of the grid, scrapping for the odd point, but neither does Carlos Sainz or Franco Colapinto or Sergio Perez. Or really any of the drivers on the grid, who have all proven, on their day, they can be the best.
Look at Sainz’s Ferrari wins, Lance Stroll’s pole position in tricky Istanbul conditions, Perez’s Max Verstappen-beating weekends at Red Bull, or how Ocon converted his against-the-odds Hungary victory (with Alonso's help!).
So it’s hard to see this remark as anything more than emblematic of how frustrated Alonso has become that he’s still languishing nowhere near where his talent deserves to be.
It’s why he’s understandably so keen for Aston Martin Honda to haul him out of the lower third of the grid, where, even with talented drivers, you’re always more likely to end race empty-handed, half your floor missing or not.
