F1与Canal+评论员罗曼·格罗斯让公开向迈凯伦及扎克·布朗道歉,原因是他在马德里报道西班牙大奖赛期间发表的言论。
这位法国人亲赴马德里报道西班牙大奖赛,在周日正赛中对迈凯伦车队负责人的言论提出尖锐批评,最初认为排位赛后的相关表态损害了奥斯卡·皮亚斯特里的士气。
“我看到扎克·布朗关于兰多·诺里斯那一圈的表态,他就在那里用剪刀和电锯把奥斯卡·皮亚斯特里切成了碎片”,罗曼·格罗斯让最初说道,此前一天卫冕世界冠军诺里斯在马德里拿下杆位。“如果皮亚斯特里还剩什么士气的话,现在也没了。
“那种表态的严厉、那种暴力……问题是诺里斯做了一次很好的排位赛,有人问他如何解释差距。基本上,他说兰多是世界冠军,他比奥斯卡更强。
“他有点忘了去年奥斯卡曾领跑世界锦标赛,在蒙扎他们让他把位置让给兰多,而当时那么做未必是必要的。这令人惊讶,非常惊讶,我听到那番表态时说不出话来。”
问题在于布朗实际上并没有发表那些言论。格罗斯让其实误解了这位迈凯伦老板在西班牙大奖赛排位赛后接受F1 TV采访时所说的话,当时胡安·巴勃罗·蒙托亚、乔利恩·帕尔默……以及格罗斯让本人在场。
扎克·布朗称赞了车手的排位赛成绩
“整圈都令人惊叹,兰多变得越来越好、越来越好”,布朗当时说道。“当你看到这样一圈跑出来,你只会说,‘他是世界冠军’。
随后,当蒙托亚问及他两位车手之间的表现差距时,他补充道:“我认为第一,你看到的是兰多拿出了A+级别的表现,对吧?所以,我认为在圈速方面已经没有什么可再挖掘的了。他做到了。
“奥斯卡整个周末都紧跟在他身边,只是没能跑出同样额外的一圈。我们会继续研究。他会看数据,可能也会像我们所有人一样说,‘哇,多么棒的一圈’。”
格罗斯让在Canal+正赛直播中的言论并未被忽视,被广泛转发和讨论,尤其是在社交媒体上。
周日晚间,这促使这位法国人为自己的言论道歉,并解释说他确实误解了布朗的话。
“今天,我在Canal+上就扎克·布朗昨天在F1 TV采访中关于奥斯卡·皮亚斯特里的言论发表了评论,我当时也在场,”他写道。
“我完全误解了他的话,为此道歉。我知道对扎克和整个迈凯伦团队来说,尊重车手、公平平等地对待他们有多么重要。
“迈凯伦今天拥有最快的赛车,只是在VSC时运气不佳。我相信兰多和奥斯卡在巴库还会有另一次争夺胜利的机会。”

Romain Grosjean apologises to McLaren after controversial, unfounded comments
The former Haas driver apologised to McLaren after misunderstanding and commenting on remarks made by Zak Brown during the Spanish Grand Prix
Formula 1 and Canal+ pundit Romain Grosjean publicly apologised to McLaren and Zak Brown over comments made during coverage of the Spanish Grand Prix at the Madring.
Present in Madrid for the Spanish GP, the Frenchman sharply criticised comments made by the McLaren team principal during Sunday's race, initially believing that remarks made after qualifying had been damaging to Oscar Piastri's morale.
"I saw a statement from Zak Brown about Lando Norris' lap, he cut Oscar Piastri to pieces with a pair of scissors and a chainsaw right there", Romain Grosjean initially said, after reigning world champion Norris had taken pole position at the Madring the previous day. "If Piastri had any morale left, he doesn't have any anymore.
"The harshness, the violence of that statement... The question was that Norris had done a good qualifying and he was asked how to explain the difference. Basically, he said that Lando was world champion and that he was better than Oscar.
"He kind of forgot that last year, Oscar was leading the world championship, that at Monza they asked him to let Lando past and that perhaps wasn't necessarily the thing to do at that point. It was surprising, very surprising, and it left me speechless when I heard that statement."
The problem was that Brown had not actually made those comments. Grosjean had in fact misunderstood what the McLaren boss had said during an interview conducted after qualifying for the Spanish Grand Prix on F1 TV, in the presence of Juan Pablo Montoya, Jolyon Palmer... and Grosjean himself.
Zak Brown braised his driver's qualifying result
"The whole lap was amazing and Lando's just getting better and better and better", Brown had said. "When you see a lap like that put down, you just go, ‘he's a world champion'."
Then, asked by Montoya about the performance gap between his two drivers, he added: "I think a) you got Lando on his A-plus game, right? So, I don't think there was anything left laptime-wise there. So, he found that.
"Oscar's been right there with him all weekend and just didn't get that same extra lap. We'll continue to look at it. He'll look at the data and probably do what we all did and go, 'wow, what a lap' as well."
Grosjean's comments on Canal+ during the live broadcast of the race did not go unnoticed and were widely shared and discussed, particularly on social media.
On Sunday evening, this led the Frenchman to apologise for his remarks and he explained that he had indeed misunderstood Brown's comments.
"Today, I made a comment on Canal+ regarding Zak Brown’s comments about Oscar Piastri during an interview yesterday on F1 TV, which I was part of,” he wrote.
"I completely misunderstood his words and want to apologise for that. I know how important it is to Zak and the entire McLaren team to respect their drivers and treat them fairly and equally.
"McLaren had the fastest car today and were unlucky with the VSC. I’m sure both Lando and Oscar will have another chance to fight for the win in Baku."
