冈瑟·施泰纳批威廉姆斯就F1基础设施抱怨：“鳄鱼的眼泪”
冈瑟·施泰纳将威廉姆斯对F1资本支出限制的抱怨斥为“鳄鱼的眼泪”。
前哈斯F1车队领队冈瑟·施泰纳将威廉姆斯对资本支出限制的抱怨称为“鳄鱼的眼泪”，并质疑车队领队詹姆斯·沃尔斯不断推迟这支格罗夫车队的复苏时间表。
自2023年接手威廉姆斯以来，这位英国人多次指出车队过时的基础设施是其试图在F1发车格上攀升的主要限制因素。他积极争取在预算帽之外获得监管豁免，以现代化设施。
但施泰纳在《The Red Flags Podcast》节目中辩称，威廉姆斯不能将其所有权方历史上投资不足归咎于现行财务规则。
“他们中的一些人犯了错误，没有投资车队。说‘哦，我们赢不了比赛是因为我们没有75台五轴机床。我们只有65台’，这是胡说八道，”施泰纳说道，随后澄清他指的是威廉姆斯。
“在我看来，威廉姆斯五年来一直在说同样的话。我想仔细看看他们的预算帽数字。他们是否一直花到上限？如果五年里你都没有花到上限，你能怪谁？怪你自己。
“你不能说，‘哦，我被禁止花钱。’你不能，因为五年前你没有钱。
“你现在不能怪这个体系。我认为有一条出路，因为我总是想找到出路，如果你去找其他车队、找国际汽联说，‘嘿，我们想升级工厂，投资这这那那的钱。’你会获得豁免。
“阿斯顿·马丁也是这样，当劳伦斯·斯特罗尔进来时说，‘我想建一个新工厂，因为约旦车队的老工厂过时了，一切都老旧。’
“他说，‘我想建一个新风洞。’他们说，‘你可以在预算帽之外建一个新风洞，但它不能比F1现有的最好风洞更好。’明白了吗？
“你总是需要谈判。说‘哦，他们不让我做。’他们不让你做，不应该阻止你寻找办法。但首先要做的是表明你实际上没有同样的设施，展示出来，并确保你有钱去做你说的事。
“这是鳄鱼的眼泪，因为去年威廉姆斯的预测是，‘我们专注于26年，我们会好起来。’但詹姆斯去年难道没有意识到他没有设施去做到吗？他等了一年才发现他的设施实际上五年都没有投资。”
威廉姆斯目前以11分位列车队积分榜第九。

Guenther Steiner calls out Williams over F1 infrastructure complaints: "Crocodile tears"
Guenther Steiner has dismissed Williams's complaints over Formula 1's capital expenditure limits as "crocodile tears"
Former Haas Formula 1 team principal Guenther Steiner has labelled Williams's complaints regarding capital expenditure limits "crocodile tears", questioning team boss James Vowles for continually moving the timeline for the Grove outfit's recovery.
Since taking over Williams in 2023, the Briton has repeatedly pointed to the team's outdated infrastructure as a primary limiting factor in its bid to move up the F1 grid. He has actively fought for regulatory allowances outside the cost cap to modernise the facilities.
But, speaking on The Red Flags Podcast, Steiner argued that Williams cannot blame the current financial regulations for a historical lack of investment by its ownership.
"Some of them made mistakes not to invest in the team. It's bull**** saying, 'Oh, we cannot win races because we don't have 75 five-axis machines. We have only 65,'" Steiner said before clarifying he was referring to Williams.
"Williams, in my opinion, they've been saying the same thing for five years. And I would like to go through their budget cap numbers. Have they always spent to the maximum? If, in five years, you don't spend to the maximum. Who have you got to blame? Yourself.
"You can't say, 'Oh I was not allowed to spend.' You cannot because you didn't have the money five years ago.
"You cannot blame the system now. I think a way out of this because I always want to get a way out of it, if you go to the other teams, to the FIA and say, 'Hey we would like to upgrade the factory and invest this and this money.' You get the dispensation.
"It was the same with Aston Martin when Lawrence Stroll came in and said, 'I want to build a new factory because this old Jordan factory is out of date and everything is old.'
"He said, 'I want to build a new wind tunnel.' They said, 'You can build a new wind tunnel outside of the budget cap, but it cannot be better than the best wind tunnel existing in Formula 1.' You see?
"You always need to negotiate. It's saying, 'Oh, they don't let me do it.' Because they don't let you do it shouldn't stop you from trying to find a way. But the first thing to have is to show that you're actually not having the same facilities and show that and be sure that you've got the money to do what you're saying.
"It's crocodile tears because last year Williams's prediction was, 'We focus on '26, and we will be good.' But did James not realise last year that he doesn't have the facility to do it? He had to wait a year to find out that his facility actually was not invested in for five years."
Williams currently sits ninth in the constructors' championship with 11 points.
