利亚姆·劳森表示,他“不明白”阿塞拜疆大奖赛的赛事干事为何没有对小红牛队友阿尔维德·林德布拉德采取进一步行动,后者在今天的F1比赛中把他撞得原地打转。
在亚历山大·阿尔本于巴库第30圈撞车退赛并引发安全车出动后,劳森和林德布拉德在比赛重启前分列第12位和第14位。
绿旗挥出后,弗兰科·科拉平托严重锁死车轮,把阿尔平队友加斯利和兰多·诺里斯都撞出了比赛。与此同时,林德布拉德比身前的劳森和埃斯特班·奥康刹车更晚,最终被夹在两车之间,并把队友的车撞得打转。
赛事干事认为这次碰撞是由于“林德布拉德可用的空间有限,以及前方事故引发的连锁反应”造成的,因此林德布拉德免于受罚——但劳森虽然在查看这次碰撞之前发表讲话,却并不完全认同这一结果。
这位新西兰车手回顾道:“进入1号弯时,我的加速出现严重迟滞,完全没有动力,所以埃斯特班就在我旁边。我试图给他留出空间,然后我左侧面被撞得非常猛,车底被撞出一个洞,之后我们就没什么办法再战斗了。我不太清楚到底发生了什么。”
“我一直尽量保持干净的驾驶,今年有些时候显然比较激进,但是……我不知道,进入1号弯时想从两辆车中间那样挤过去,我觉得本来就不太可能实现。”

当被问到干事的判罚对车队有利但对他本人不太有利时,劳森评论道:“对车队来说是好事。显然我不会去抗议我的队友,但是……
“我不理解这个判罚,因为我被撞得那么重,我的底板上都被撞出了一个洞。我当时只是在转向过弯,还给了对方空间。从我坐的位置来看我不理解,但可以说这对车队来说是好事。”
林德布拉德一有机会就向队友道了歉。他在媒体采访区再次表达了歉意,同时部分将这次事故归咎于埃斯特班·奥孔在刹车时移动路线——但录像画面并不支持这一说法。
这位新秀说:“从我那边的情况来看,我和埃斯特班在直道上已经这样交锋了大约三次,我们几次接近又刹车又再次加速,所以场面完全混乱,赛车的电池也因此在不太理想的工作区间。”
“然后大家在1号弯都刹车得稍微有点晚,我当时准备对埃斯特班完成超越,但他在最后一刻移动了路线,基本上就是在刹车时变线,所以我不得不采取躲避动作,这导致我的前轮轻微锁死,然后就撞上了利亚姆。”
“我在无线电上说了‘对不起’,但归根结底这不是故意的。如果你回看视频,就能看到我的动作没有任何故意成分。干事们判定‘不予进一步处罚’,我对此当然感到高兴,但说到底,我也不知道你想让我怎么做。如果我们都在极限边缘,大家都刹车得很晚,而我前面的车手在最后一秒移动了路线……当时有很多起事故。我什么也做不了,事情就是这样。”
林德布拉德补充说,小红牛告诉他:“我们看得出你其实没什么别的办法”,尽管他仍然预料到自己“会挨一点训斥”。
无论如何,对于这支总部位于法恩扎的车队来说还是有积极一面的——林德布拉德追回到第七名,以0.03秒的优势从奥康手中抢下了这个位置,而且阿尔派由于科拉平托的失误显然未能得分。这意味着在车队积分榜第五名的争夺中,理论上出现了13分的摆动,目前小红牛领先15分。
“从积极的角度看,我们作为一支车队拿到了积分。说实话,今天我们非常非常幸运,阿尔派没有得分,”劳森承认。“我们没有他们那样的速度。”
“某种意义上我们接受这个结果,因为这个周末我们挣扎了很多,这是本赛季我们第一次难以在排位赛第一节脱身,”林德布拉德表示赞同。“所以能成为除领先集团之外的最佳,并拿到大量积分,真是太棒了。这个周末并不轻松,但积分终究是在周日正赛里拿下的。”
林德布拉德本周日可能实际上拿不到任何积分,但他至少在周六把任务完成了。

Liam Lawson: “I don’t understand” why Arvid Lindblad escaped penalty after wrecking my floor
A collision between the Racing Bulls jeopardised what turned out to be an unexpected decent result for the team

Liam Lawson says he ‘doesn’t understand’ Azerbaijan Grand Prix stewards took no further action against Racing Bulls team-mate Arvid Lindblad, who spun him around in today’s Formula 1 race.
After Alexander Albon crashed out on lap 30 in Baku, causing a safety car intervention, Lawson and Lindblad lay 12th and 14th ahead of the restart.
When the green flag was waved, Franco Colapinto had a massive lock-up and took both Alpine team-mate Pierre Gasly and Lando Norris out of the race. Meanwhile, Lindblad braked later than Lawson and Esteban Ocon ahead of him, ending up sandwiched between the two cars, and sent the sister car into a spin.
The stewards deemed the collision to have been caused by “the restricted space available to [Lindblad] and the chain reaction caused by the incident ahead”, hence Lindblad escaping a penalty – but Lawson, albeit speaking before reviewing the clash, didn’t quite agree with that outcome.
“Coming into Turn 1, I had massive boost lag and I didn’t have any power, so Esteban was next to me,” the New Zealander recounted. “I tried to give him space and then I just got hit from my left so hard that it put a hole on the floor, and we couldn’t really fight after that. I don’t really know what happened.
“I’ve always tried to keep clear, and it’s been obviously aggressive at points this year, but… I don't know, going into Turn 1 there to try and fit through the middle of two cars like that, I don't think it was ever really going to happen.”

Asked if the stewards’ decision was good for the team but not so much for him, Lawson commented: “Great for the team. Obviously I'm not going to go and protest my team-mate, but…
“I don't understand it, because I got hit so hard that it put a hole in my floor. I was just turning for the corner, giving the guy space. From where I'm sitting I don't understand, but let's say it's great for the team.”
Lindblad did apologise to his team-mate as soon as he got the opportunity to. He reiterated this in the media pen while partly blaming the incident on Esteban Ocon moving under braking – which the footage doesn’t corroborate.
“From where we were, me and Esteban, we'd gone about three times on the straight, we'd sort of gone and braked and gone again, so it was complete chaos, the battery wasn't in a good window because of that,” the rookie said.
“And then everyone braked a little bit too late in Turn 1, and I was going to make the move on Esteban and he moved in the last minute, basically moved under braking, so I had to take avoiding action, which meant I locked the front slightly and I hit Liam.
“I said ‘I'm sorry’ on the radio, but in the end it's not intentional. If you watch the video back you can see there's nothing intentional about what I do. The stewards said ‘no further action’, which obviously I'm happy about, but in the end, I don't know what you want me to do. If we're all on the limit, we all brake very late, and the guy in front of me moves in the last second… There were many incidents. There was nothing I could do, and it is what it is.”
Lindblad added that Racing Bulls told him, ‘We can see there's not much you could have done’, though he did expect to “get a little bit told off” still.
Regardless, there were silver linings for the Faenza-based outfit – Lindblad recovered to seventh, snatching that position away from Ocon by 0.03s, and Alpine obviously failed to score following Colapinto’s blunder. That represents a theoretical 13-point swing in their battle for fifth in the constructors’ championship, with Racing Bulls now 15 points ahead.
“On the positive, we scored points as a team. We got very, very lucky today that Alpine didn’t, honestly,” Lawson admitted. “We didn't have [their] speed.”
“We take the result, in a sense, because we've struggled a lot this weekend, it's been one of the first times this season we've struggled to get out of Q1,” Lindblad concurred. “So to be best of the rest and scoring massive points is absolutely amazing. It's not been an easy weekend, but points are scored on Sunday.”
Lindblad may not actually score any points this Sunday, but he did get the job done on Saturday after all.
