巴库小红牛队友相撞未被处罚 劳森表示不解
阿塞拜疆大奖赛中，小红牛车队的林德布拉德锁死刹车撞上队友劳森，导致后者赛车底板破损退赛，但干事在事发20分钟内判定无需进一步行动。
小红牛车队内部在F1阿塞拜疆大奖赛上发生的碰撞导致利亚姆·劳森退赛，令人意外的是，这次事故被裁定无需进一步处理。
弗兰科·科拉平托因撞上他的阿尔卑斯车队队友皮埃尔·加斯利以及兰多·诺里斯的迈凯伦，被处以10秒时间罚时（转换为马来西亚大奖赛退后五个发车位），但干事们决定不对发生在他们身后的那次碰撞采取行动。
当奥康和劳森在一号弯刹车区并排行驶时，林德布拉德最终锁死了刹车，撞上了姐妹车的劳森，在后者赛车底盘上撞出了一个大洞，毁掉了劳森的比赛。
事故发生后不到20分钟，该事件就已被记录、列入调查，随后又被裁定无需进一步处理。
当被《The Race》问及这一判罚时，劳森说：“对车队来说是好事（林德布拉德最终获得第七名），是的，显然我不会去抗议我的队友——但我不理解这个判罚，因为我被撞得非常重，我的底板都被撞出一个洞了。
“我当时正在转向入弯，给对方留出了空间。所以从我的角度来看，我不理解这个判罚，但可以说这对车队来说是好事。”
林德布拉德为这次碰撞向小红牛和劳森道歉，但也为这次事故提出了两个可以减轻责任的情况。
“那完全是一片混乱。我想就像你们在巴库几乎所有的安全车重启时看到的那样，一号弯会变得相当混乱，我不知道前方发生了什么，但管理得相当糟糕，车流没有聚拢在一起，”林德布拉德说。
“从我们所处的位置来看，我和埃斯特班，还有奥利（比尔曼），在直道上已经来回了大概三次；我们一遍遍地减速又重新出发。所以当时完全是一片混乱，赛车的电池也因此不在理想的工作窗口内。”
“每个人在一号弯都刹车刹得有点太晚，我本来准备对埃斯特班完成超越，但他在最后一刻变线——基本上就是在刹车时变线，所以我不得不采取避让动作，这意味着我的前轮稍微锁死，然后撞上了利亚姆。”
“所以很明显，我已经向他道歉了；我也向车队道歉了，因为这种事情不是你想要的，今天我们本来可能有两个车手进入积分区，但与此同时我们也接受了这个结果。”
林德布拉德是在刚刚完成比赛、还没有太多时间复盘这次事故的情况下说这番话的，但他表示，在安全车重启时处于车流中间的感觉“糟透了”。
“这次重启做得并不好。到最后应该是整个车队慢慢聚拢，然后大家同时出发，”林德布拉德说。
“所以我确信下周的车手简报会上会有人提出这个问题，我们也需要讨论一下，但说实话，两次重启都不太好。
“你得往前看几辆车，搞清楚发生了什么，但在这里我们要应对的事情实在太多了。到最后，那是一条两公里长的直道，轮胎是冷的，刹车是冷的，电池显然又是一个新问题。当大家不停地在走和停之间切换时，是相当危险的，我认为我们需要弄清楚原因。”
他的第一个可以减轻责任的因素——轮胎和刹车冰冷情况下艰难的重启——确实是相关的，但这是否应该让他免于任何处罚则非常值得怀疑。毕竟，对于受到处罚的科拉平托来说，这些因素同样存在。
至于奥康在刹车时移动的说法，实际情况似乎并非如此，奥康一直保持在劳森左侧的线路上。如果非要说的话，反倒是右侧的劳森横向移动，试图封堵奥康的线路。
林德布拉德给出了一个即兴的现场观点，不应该因此受到苛责，但令人费解的是，对于一起看起来证据确凿的事故——一名失控的车手因误判而猛烈撞上另一辆车——干事们为何会如此迅速地排除任何处罚。
干事们之所以基本没有处罚林德布拉德，是因为他们认为这起事故是前方科拉平托、加斯利和诺里斯相撞事故的直接后果。
“这起事故，加上科拉平托锁死刹车，引发了林德布拉德前方紧随的几辆车做出紧急刹车反应，”干事的裁决中写道。
“与此同时，林德布拉德的位置被左右两侧的赛车夹在中间。过弯时，林德布拉德与劳森发生了碰撞。
“在查看了涉事赛车的位置和移动情况后，干事们认定，这次碰撞主要是由于林德布拉德可用的空间受限，以及前方事故引发的连锁反应所致，而不是林德布拉德的任何行为或失误导致，因此不能认定他负有全部或主要责任。
当你回看事故画面时，这个解释对林德布拉德来说显得非常宽厚。加斯利、科拉平托和诺里斯的撞车发生在相当远的前方，在林德布拉德撞上劳森之前，奥孔和劳森似乎都没有做出任何有意义的躲避动作。
干事的报告对此只字未提——但也可能存在一条不成文的规则，即干事对队友之间碰撞的判罚，不如对不同车队车手之间的碰撞那样严厉。正如劳森自己所说：“我不会去抗议我的队友。”
如果干事们选择在赛后进行调查，小红牛显然会请求不予处罚。
但在评判这类事件时，赛车的颜色不应成为考量因素。
英文原文
The intra-team Racing Bulls collision at Formula 1’s Azerbaijan Grand Prix that wiped out Liam Lawson was surprisingly dismissed as needing no further action.
Franco Colapinto was handed a 10-second time penalty (converted into a five-place grid drop for the Malaysian Grand Prix) for spearing into his Alpine team-mate Pierre Gasly and Lando Norris’s McLaren, but the stewards decided not to act on the collision that took place behind them.
While Ocon and Lawson were side-by-side in the Turn 1 braking zone, Lindblad ended up locking his brakes and running into Lawson in the sister car, punching a big hole in its floor and ruining Lawson’s race.
Within 20 minutes of the incident occurring, the incident had been noted, placed under investigation and then dismissed as needing no further action.
Asked about the ruling by The Race, Lawson said: “Great for the team [Lindblad went on to finish seventh], yeah, 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. So where I'm sitting, I don't understand, but let's say it's great for the team.”
Lindblad apologised to Racing Bulls and Lawson for the clash but offered two mitigating circumstances for the incident.
“It was an absolute mess. I think as you see on almost all safety car restarts here in Baku it gets quite chaotic in Turn 1, I don't know what was happening at the front, but it was pretty poorly managed in the sense that the field wasn't bunched up,” Lindblad said.
“From where we were, me and Esteban, we'd gone - or Ollie [Bearman] - 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.
“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.
“So obviously I've apologised to him already; I've apologised to the team because it's not something you want, because there could have been two of us in the points today, but also at the same time we take the result.”
Lindblad was speaking fresh from finishing the race with limited time to review the incident, but he says it was “terrible” in the middle of the train at the safety car restart.
“It wasn't a well-done restart. In the end it should be a bunched-up field that goes slowly, and then we all go at once,” Lindblad said.
“So I'm sure it will get raised at the briefing next week, and it's something we'll discuss, but honestly both restarts weren't very good.
“You're trying to look a few cars ahead to see what's going on, but there are so many things we're having to manage here. In the end, it's a 2km straight, tyres are cold, brakes are cold, batteries are obviously a new problem. When everyone's going-and-stopping it's pretty dangerous and I think we need to understand why.”
His first mitigating factor, a tricky restart on cold tyres and brakes, is certainly relevant, but whether that should absolve him of any penalty is highly questionable. Those were also factors applicable for the penalised Colapinto, after all.
As for Ocon moving under braking, this really doesn’t appear to be the case, with Ocon holding his line to the left of Lawson. If anything, it’s Lawson on the right who makes a move across to try to cover Ocon.
Lindblad shouldn’t be judged harshly for giving a fresh-from-the-moment opinion, but what’s baffling is why the stewards elected to quickly rule out any punishment for what appeared to be a clear-cut case of one out-of-control driver slamming into another with a misjudged move.
The stewards predominantly didn’t punish Lindblad because they believed the incident to be a direct consequence of the Colapinto/Gasly/Norris shunt ahead.
“That incident, together with Colapinto locking his brakes, triggered a braking reaction among the cars immediately ahead of Lindblad,” the stewards’ decision read.
“At the same time, Lindblad was positioned between cars on either side. During the corner, Lindblad made contact with Lawson.
“Having reviewed the positioning and movement of the cars involved, the stewards determined that the contact was primarily the result of the restricted space available to Lindblad and the chain reaction caused by the incident ahead, rather than any action or error for which Lindblad could be considered wholly or predominantly to blame.”
When you review the incident footage, that explanation feels incredibly generous to Lindblad. The Gasly/Colapinto/Norris crash happened far enough up the road that Ocon and Lawson didn’t appear to initiate any meaningful avoiding action before Lindblad went into Lawson.
The stewards' report makes no reference to it - but there could also be the unwritten rule of the stewards not judging team-mate collisions as harshly as collisions involving drivers from different teams. As Lawson himself said: “I'm not going to go and protest my team-mate.”
Had the stewards opted for a post-race investigation, Racing Bulls would have obviously requested no penalty.
But what colour the cars are shouldn’t be a factor when judging these incidents.
