布伦德尔:拉塞尔应就意大利大奖赛VSC策略质询梅赛德斯
前F1车手、天空体育分析师马丁·布伦德尔表示,乔治·拉塞尔必须在意大利大奖赛后向梅赛德斯寻求答案,因为虚拟安全车期间的策略可能让他错失胜利。
Martin Brundle:乔治·拉塞尔必须就意大利大奖赛虚拟安全车(VSC)的决策向梅赛德斯提出质疑
马丁·布伦德尔表示,梅赛德斯在意大利大奖赛的策略可能让乔治·拉塞尔错失胜利,他必须就此向车队讨要说法
前F1车手、天空体育解说员马丁·布伦德尔坚称,由于虚拟安全车期间的策略可能让乔治·拉塞尔在意大利大奖赛上与胜利失之交臂,他必须从梅赛德斯那里得到解释。
在蒙扎,拉塞尔本有望缩小与总冠军竞争对手兼队友基米·安东内利之间的差距。当虚拟安全车出动期间,拉塞尔选择留在赛道上继续使用硬胎,而安东内利则被召进站换上全新的中性胎。这位20岁的车手利用轮胎优势在场上不断超越,最终在自己的主场大奖赛中夺冠。
"对乔治·拉塞尔(拉塞尔)来说,这是非常艰难的一天,"布伦德尔解释道。"他肯定得坐下来和车队谈谈,问问:'怎么会变成这样?我当时正领跑比赛,为什么当时没有给我优先的便宜进站?'"
安东内利在意大利大奖赛接受了动力单元处罚,被排到发车区末位,这给了拉塞尔一个缩小积分榜差距的绝佳机会。
"对于世界冠军争夺战来说,这本是乔治弥补差距的机会,结果差距反而扩大了,"布伦德尔补充道。

前W系列赛车手、天空体育评论员Naomi Schiff附和了Brundle的看法。"我认为,我们看到他现在对此如此冷静,也许是因为他可能也在质疑自己,以及为什么他没能取得更大的优势。"
"但我认为,事后回想起来,他会问一些问题,比如,'为什么我没有在虚拟安全车期间进站?'
"是的,他采用的是不同的策略,车队想让他跑长距离,但归根结底,一套更新鲜的轮胎本可以为他保住今天的胜利。"
Antonelli在蒙扎夺得了他的第七个F1分站冠军,目前在积分榜上以66分的优势领先排名第二的Russell。

Martin Brundle: George Russell must question Mercedes over Italian GP VSC call
Martin Brundle says George Russell must question Mercedes after its Italian Grand Prix strategy potentially cost him victory
Former Formula 1 driver and Sky Sports analyst Martin Brundle insists George Russell must get answers from Mercedes after a virtual safety car strategy potentially cost him victory at the Italian Grand Prix.
Russell looked set to reduce the gap to his championship rival and team-mate Kimi Antonelli at Monza. While Russell stayed out on hard tyres during a virtual safety car period, Antonelli was brought in for fresh mediums. The 20-year-old used the tyre advantage to make his way back up the grid and claim the win at his home race.
"It’s been a very difficult day for George Russell," Brundle explained. "He will have to surely sit down and talk to the team, and ask, 'How did that happen? I was leading the race. Why was I not given the preferential cheap pit stop there?'"
Antonelli took a power unit penalty at the Italian Grand Prix, putting him at the back of the starting grid and giving Russell a huge opportunity to close the gap in the standings.
"For the world championship, this was George's opportunity to do something about the deficit, and the deficit has grown," Brundle added.

Former W Series driver and Sky Sports pundit Naomi Schiff echoed Brundle's comments. "I think maybe the reason we’ve seen him be so calm about it right now is because he’s probably questioning himself a little bit as well, and why he wasn’t able to get more of an advantage.
"But I think with hindsight, he will be asking questions, like, 'Why did I not get to pit during the VSC?'
"Yes, he was on a different strategy and they wanted him to go long, but at the end of the day, a fresher set of tyres could have saved him the victory today."
Antonelli, who claimed his seventh F1 win at Monza, now leads the standings with a 66-point advantage over Russell in second.
