科拉平托引发多车相撞 阿尔派考虑后续处理
弗朗哥·科拉平托在阿塞拜疆大奖赛安全车重启后的第一弯锁死刹车,导致自己、队友加斯利和诺里斯三车相撞,阿尔卑斯表示将研究应采取何种行动。赛后计时系统判定对其处以10秒罚时,因其未完赛而转换为下站罚退,干事宣布为罚退五位。
阿尔派 车队将“考虑应采取何种行动”,来处理其车手弗朗哥·科拉平托在一级方程式阿塞拜疆大奖赛中引发的“非常糟糕的操作”所导致的多车相撞事故。
世界冠军兰多·诺里斯表示,科拉平托应该被禁赛一场。这位 阿尔派 车手在安全车结束后重新起步时,进入第一弯刹车抱死,导致自己、队友皮埃尔·加斯利以及诺里斯全部出局。
科拉平托称这是一次“重大失误”,并表示他一踩下刹车就发生了抱死,当时已经“失控”。
比赛结束后,一级方程式的计时系统报告科拉平托因引发碰撞被处以 10 秒处罚;由于他没有完赛,该处罚将转化为下一场比赛的发车顺位退后。
干事已宣布,这将是一次退后五位发车的处罚。
阿尔派(阿尔派)执行顾问弗拉维奥·布里亚托利说:“我想花时间反思这件事,并考虑应该采取什么行动,这样我们才能从中吸取教训,避免将来再出现这种情况。”
布里亚托利表示,阿尔派(阿尔派)就“毁了他们的比赛”向诺里斯和迈凯伦道歉,科拉平托本人此前也已经这么做了。
“我知道弗兰科已经承担了全部责任,这是他应该做的;事实上,考虑到比赛当时的局势和安全车重启的情况,他刹车得太晚了,”布里亚托利说。
“对于一位拥有他这种经验的车手来说,这是一次非常糟糕的举动。”
目前尚不清楚阿尔派愿意对科拉平托采取什么行动,比如让他停赛一场比赛,还是仅仅在队内进行警告。
不过,据了解,布里亚托雷对这次失误非常不满,因为它影响了阿尔派的年度冠军争夺战。
科拉平托和加斯利原本在比赛中将为阿尔派实现双车得分,至少获得第九和第十名,这将使阿尔派在车队积分榜上与小红牛的差距缩小到仅六分。
相反,这次事故让 小红牛 意外收获积分,因为混乱为阿尔维德·林德布拉德清出了道路——他在同一次重启时撞上了自己的队友利亚姆·劳森,但未被处罚——最终获得第七名。
这意味着阿尔派目前在争夺第五名的较量中落后 小红牛 15 分。
布里亚托雷说:“显然,我对今天比赛的结果极其失望,要知道我们在争夺积分榜的战斗中损失了宝贵的积分。”
“这类事故不应该发生,尤其是当时我们两辆赛车都跑在积分区内、形势很好的时候。”
"我为车队感到非常难过,也为皮埃尔感到难过,他整个周末都做得非常出色。"
诺里斯是唯一一个认为应该受到全面禁赛处罚的人。
锁定车轮后他成了“乘客”(完全无法控制赛车),其他车手对此表示同情,前三名完赛者——乔治·拉塞尔、马克斯·维斯塔潘和伊萨克·哈贾尔——都认为禁赛过于严厉。
"这是一个小错误却造成了严重后果,"拉塞尔说。"我个人认为,禁赛处罚应该只针对那些故意做出非常危险、非常鲁莽行为的车手。"
哈贾尔实际上表示,这条赛道“不够好”,因为偏离行车线的地方颠簸不平,而且在安全车后面难以让轮胎达到工作温度。
一次事故撞毁两辆赛车,以及随之而来的禁赛呼声,让人联想到2012年比利时大奖赛发车时由罗曼·格罗斯让引发的多车相撞事故,他当时因此被禁赛一场。
但科拉平托的这次撞车有两个关键区别:一是涉及赛车数量更少,二是格罗斯让的禁赛正是正式驾照扣分制度出台的契机,该制度现在会在12个月的时间跨度内累计统计驾驶违规行为。
因此,目前已经有一套机制来处罚屡犯者。正因如此,单方面对科拉平托实施禁赛充其量只会显得过于严苛,因为如果他确实屡次犯规,只要这套制度被正确执行,自然会对他进行处理。
面对布里托雷这样严厉的老板的怒火,同时还要为车队在争冠路上痛失一个重要成绩而懊悔,这本身也是一种不好受的惩罚。
英文原文
Alpine will "consider what course of action should be taken" against its driver Franco Colapinto for the "very poor move" that caused a multi-car crash in Formula 1's Azerbaijan Grand Prix.
World champion Lando Norris said Colapinto deserved a race ban after the Alpine driver locked up into the first corner at a restart following a safety car period, and wiped out himself, team-mate Pierre Gasly and Norris too.
Colapinto described it as a "big mistake" and said he was "out of control" after locking up as soon as he jumped on the brakes.
F1's timing system reported a 10-second penalty for Colapinto after the race had finished for causing a collision, which gets converted into a grid drop for the next race instead as he did not finish.
The stewards has announced that this will be a five-place drop.
Alpine executive advisor Flavio Briatore said: "I want to take time to reflect on it and consider what course of action should be taken, so we can learn from it and avoid such a situation in future."
Briatore said Alpine apologises to Norris and McLaren "for ruining their race", which Colapinto had already done himself too.
"I know that Franco has taken full responsibility for it, as he should; in fact he braked far too late considering the context of the race and the safety car restart," said Briatore.
"It was a very poor move for a driver of his experience."
It is not clear what action Alpine would be willing to take against Colapinto, like benching him for a race itself, or whether it would limit it simply to a warning internally.
However, Briatore is understood to be very unhappy with the error, given the impact it has on Alpine's championship fight.
Colapinto and Gasly were on course for a double-points finish for Alpine in the race, at least ninth and 10th, which would have cut the gap to Racing Bulls to just six points in the constructors' championship.
Instead the incident allowed Racing Bulls to land an unexpected points haul as the chaos cleared a path for Arvid Lindblad - who drove into his own team-mate Liam Lawson at the same restart but avoided a penalty - to finish seventh.
This means Alpine now trails Racing Bulls by 15 points in the fight for fifth.
"Obviously I'm extremely disappointed with the outcome of today's race, knowing we lost valuable points in the championship fight," said Briatore.
"These sort of incidents shouldn't happen, particularly when we were running well with both cars in point-scoring positions.
"I feel very sorry for the team and for Pierre who did a great job all weekend."
Norris stands alone in believing a full-on suspension is merited.
He was a passenger after locking up and other drivers had sympathy for this, with the top-three finishers - George Russell, Max Verstappen and Isack Hadjar - all agreeing a ban would be too harsh.
"It was a small error that had a big consequence," said Russell. "I think, personally, race bans should come from drivers intentionally doing something very dangerous and very reckless.
Hadjar actually said the track is "not good enough" because it is bumpy off-line and hard to generate tyre temperature behind the safety car.
Wiping out two cars, and the call for a ban, conjures images of the 2012 Belgian GP start shunt caused by Romain Grosjean, which he got a one-race ban for.
But there are two key differences in Colapinto's crash: it involved a smaller number of cars, and Grosjean's ban was the trigger for a formal licence penalty point system that now tots up driving offences over a 12-month period.
So, there is a structure in place to punish repeat offenders. Which is why unilaterally banning Colapinto would be heavy-handed at best as the system will take care of that if he proves a repeat offender and it is applied correctly.
Facing the wrath of a stern operator such as Briatore, mourning the loss of an important result in the team's championship fight, is also an unenviable punishment in itself.
