亲历F1事故现场：目睹贝尔曼西班牙大奖赛FP3撞车
在西班牙大奖赛第三次自由练习中，奥利·贝尔曼驾驶哈斯F1赛车在马德里赛道赛道10号弯撞车。《The 比赛》记者乔恩·诺布尔当时就在事故现场，记录下了亲眼目睹这起F1撞车事故发生的感受。
当一辆F1赛车就在你眼前撞上护栏时，那种碳纤维和金属猛烈撞击不可移动固体表面的巨大、暴力的撞击声，会深深印在你的脑海里。
这正是回顾西班牙大奖赛FP3尾声那些时刻时最突出的记忆——当时奥利·贝尔曼在马德里赛道赛道10号弯完全失误，最终撞上了离我只有几厘米远的护栏。
这也是我记忆中另一次发生在我身上的事，那是2001年在摩纳哥游泳池弯，拉尔夫·舒马赫在周四首节练习赛结束时撞车。
当你看的车突然没有按你预期的方式行驶，严重偏离路线并朝错误方向行进时，你的大脑处理这些时刻的方式有些奇怪。
你看到它要出大问题了。你看到轮胎冒烟。你为撞击做好准备。然后接触发生了。
接着，可能只是毫秒之后，却感觉像是永恒：那声嘎吱作响，声音追上了光。正是这个声音让你彻底意识到这是一次严重的撞车。
之后，暴力平息下来，散落的碎片都滚动停止，在马修们采取行动之前，几乎有一种平静。
对于车手来说，这些时刻一定更难处理，情绪也更极端——因为之后他们似乎要经历经典的五个悲伤阶段。
观察贝尔曼，当他坐在哈斯赛车中向马修明确表示自己没事时，从他头部和手部的姿态，你能感受到他对于在最后一节练习赛尾声撞车所表现出的否认，然后是愤怒。
当他从护栏的洞中爬出来时，出现了抑郁，然后是对所发生之事的接受，此时一辆小摩托过来要把他带走。但他却站在那里，凝视远方，急切地想看我们身后大屏幕上的撞车回放。
然后，随着肾上腺素消退，贝尔曼——此后被排除在排位赛之外——被招呼去医疗车。他爬进后座，看着严重受损的哈斯赛车仍然卡在墙上。他接受了这不太可能不妨碍他周末剩余比赛的事实。
当贝尔曼被载走时，马修们开始行动，把车吊上卡车，并将大块损坏的碳纤维从围栏缝隙中扔出去。
车手们在周末前曾谈论过马德里赛道是一个惩罚性的赛道，贝尔曼自己也曾说，他在模拟器中的大量撞车意味着希望他已经把它们都排除掉了。
“就像那样，你确切地了解到极限在哪里，并以最有效的方式找到它们，”他说。“通过这样做，你就不会在真实赛道上那样做了，希望如此……”
不幸的是，现实有时会咬人。而且可能非常吵闹。
英文原文
That loud, violent, smack of carbonfibre and metal making violent contact with an immovable solid surface is what sticks in your mind when a Formula 1 car crashes into the barriers right in front of you.
It is what stands out recalling those moments at the end of the Spanish Grand Prix's FP3 when Ollie Bearman got it all wrong at the Madring's Turn 10 and ended up smashing into the barriers centimetres in front of me.
It is what I remember from the other time it happened to me, at the Monaco swimming pool back in 2001, when Ralf Schumacher shunted right at the end of opening practice on Thursday.
There is something strange in how your brain processes those moments when the car you are watching is suddenly not doing what you expect it to, and is well off line and travelling in the wrong direction.
You see it is going to go all wrong. You see the tyre smoke. You prepare yourself for the impact. Then the contact happens.
And then, what must be milliseconds later but seems an eternity: that crunch as the sound catches up with the light. It is that which rams home that this is a big one.
After that, the violence dies down, the strewn debris all rolls to a stop, and there is almost a calmness before the marshals get to action.
For a driver, these moments must be even harder to process and the emotions more extreme - as afterwards they appear to go through the classic five stages of grief.
Observing Bearman, as he sits in the Haas making clear to marshals he is OK, you can sense from the way he holds his head and hands the denial and then anger he has about having binned it right at the end of the final practice session.
As he climbs out through a hole in the barriers, there is the depression and then the acceptance of what has happened, as a moped arrives to whisk him away. But he stands there instead, staring into the distance, desperate to watch a crash replay on the big screen behind us.
Then, as the adrenaline winds down, Bearman - since ruled out of qualifying - is beckoned to the medical car. He climbs in the back, looking at the badly damaged Haas still wedged up against the wall. There is the acceptance that it is unlikely that this will not hamper the rest of his weekend.
As Bearman is driven away, the marshals move into action, lifting the car onto a truck and throwing chunks of wrecked carbonfibre through the gaps in the fence.
Drivers had talked before the weekend about the Madring being a punishing venue, and Bearman himself said that the plenty of crashes he had in the sim meant hopefully he had got them out of his system.
"Like that, you learn exactly where the limits are and you find them in the most efficient way possible," he said. "By doing that, you don't do that on the real track, hopefully…"
Unfortunately, real life bites sometimes. And it can be very noisy.
