FIA主席推动规则让步以留住阿隆索
据The 比赛报道，FIA主席Mohammed Ben Sulayem正推动一项新的规则让步方案，以帮助本田加快进展，并让费尔南多·阿隆索继续留在F1。
FIA主席Mohammed Ben Sulayem正在制定一项新的规则让步方案，以帮助加快本田的进展，并让费尔南多·阿隆索继续留在F1。
阿隆索目前正在权衡是否要在明年继续参加大奖赛，因为他对F1现行规则缺乏热情，同时也面临竞争力方面的不确定性。
然而，在西班牙大奖赛上浮现的消息是，幕后正在努力为阿斯顿·马丁陷入困境的引擎供应商本田在2027年提供额外帮助——从而增强阿隆索留下的动力。
在本田升级版动力单元经历了一场艰难的意大利大奖赛后，Ben Sulayem于周四会见了阿斯顿·马丁老板Lawrence Stroll，讨论了一项潜在行动计划，该计划既能帮助车队的竞争力，也能确保与阿隆索签订新合同。
据了解，这位FIA主席在蒙扎与阿隆索交谈后，计划在马德里与这位两届世界冠军进一步会谈，以推动一套能够提供帮助的措施。
今年早些时候，FIA帮助获得了所有制造商的同意，使本田在额外开发与升级机会追赶机制下获得额外援助。
这为本田获得更多测试台时以及额外1900万美元支出方案打开了大门——尽管其中一部分是作为对其自身未来开发预算的理论贷款。
目前尚不清楚Stroll和阿隆索现在寻求的是什么新援助，消息人士表示，讨论尚未深入到与本田详细聚焦和谈论任何正式规则变更细节的程度。
选项可能包括更多认证自由、额外支出额度，甚至在本田认为其进展受限的领域进行具体规则修改。
然而，任何规则调整都需要其他制造商的支持，而他们今年早些时候已表现出愿意将自身利益搁置一旁来提供协助。
消息人士告诉The 比赛，Ben Sulayem决心尽其所能推动此事，因为他认为这将有利于F1整体。
这是因为他希望避免本田陷入现状——如果本田继续在赛道上遇到困难，这既可能导致阿隆索离开，也可能让这家日本引擎制造商本身考虑其在F1的未来。
周五上午在马德里举行的New Economy Forum活动上发言时，Ben Sulayem谈到了他在意大利大奖赛上与阿隆索的一次交谈如何引发了一项行动呼吁。
他透露，他正在等待阿隆索就FIA能做什么来提供帮助给出一些反馈。
“我看到他非常难过，”Ben Sulayem说。“我说，费尔南多，我理解你来到自己的国家，然后现在，在两次成为世界冠军之后，你却排在最后，这是不可接受的。”
“我们在5月早些时候做了一些事情，合法地为车队、为引擎方面，去改进。”
“我对他说，我不会告诉你我们要做什么。请告诉我你想要什么！因为你是车手，来告诉我你想要我们做什么，来改善这些结果。”
周四，阿隆索暗示，除了已经确定的燃油流量增加之外，可能还会有潜在变化。
他的言论在围场引起了兴趣，但现在看来与他和Ben Sulayem的对话有关。
“我仍然希望明年的规则还需要再次调整，这不是最终版本，”他说。
阿斯顿·马丁首席赛道官Mike Krack在马德里赛道赛道表示，关于阿隆索未来的决定将取决于很多因素。但他相信，无论阿隆索想要什么，都会得到实现。
“我认为他已经明确表示，他想要看到的改变不是单一的一件事，”Krack解释道。“我认为这项运动需要这样的人。我想我们都会希望看到费尔南多继续。”
“至于能做什么来满足，我认为都会去做。然后我希望我们能找到一个好的解决方案并继续下去。”
Ben Sulayem坚决表示，他将尽一切努力确保这不会是阿隆索在F1的最后一年。
“我们绝不能让费尔南多离开，”他说。“他必须取得成功，然后在他想离开的时候离开，而不是因为表现被迫离开。”

FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem is working on a fresh rules concession plan to help accelerate Honda’s progress and keep Fernando Alonso in Formula 1.
Alonso is currently weighing up whether he wants to stay in grand prix racing next year, as he feels little excitement for F1’s current regulations and is facing competitive uncertainties too.
It has emerged at the Spanish Grand Prix, however, that efforts are underway behind the scenes to give Aston Martin’s struggling engine supplier Honda an extra helping hand for 2027 – and therefore boost Alonso’s incentive to remain.
Fresh from a difficult Italian Grand Prix outing for Honda’s upgraded power unit, Ben Sulayem met with Aston Martin owner Lawrence Stroll on Thursday to discuss a potential action plan that can help both his squad’s competitive fortunes and secure a fresh contract with Alonso.
It is understood that the FIA president, having spoken to Alonso at Monza, plans further talks with the two-time world champion in Madrid to try push forward with a package of measures that can help.
Earlier this year, the FIA helped secure agreement from all manufacturers for Honda to be granted extra assistance under the ADUO (Additional Development and Upgrade Opportunities) catch-up mechanism.
This opened the door for Honda to get more test bench hours plus the ability to secure an extra $19 million spending package – although some of this was taken as a theoretical loan against its own future development budget.
It is unclear what fresh assistance Stroll and Alonso are chasing now, and sources suggest that discussions have not yet got as far as any formal rule change details being focused on and talked about in detail with Honda.
Options could involve more homologation freedoms, extra spending allowances or even specific rule changes in areas where Honda feels that its progress is being limited.
Any tweaks to the rules would need support from other manufacturers, however, who showed earlier this year that they were willing to put self-interest aside to assist.
Sources have told The Race that Ben Sulayem is determined to do everything in his power to help push this matter through, as he thinks this would be of benefit to F1 as a whole.
That is because he wants to avoid a situation where Honda is stuck where it is – which would risk both Alonso walking and the Japanese engine manufacturer itself even pondering its own future in F1 if it continues to face difficulties on track.
Speaking at the New Economy Forum event in Madrid on Friday morning, Ben Sulayem spoke about how a chat he had with Alonso at the Italian GP had sparked a call to action.
He revealed that he was awaiting some feedback from Alonso about what the FIA can do to assist things.
“I saw him very sad,” said Ben Sulayem. “I said, Fernando, I understand that it's not acceptable that you are coming to your own country, and then now, after two times [being] the world champion, you are in the last [place].
“We did something earlier in May, legally, for the team, towards the engine, to go and improve.
“I said to him, I'm not going to tell you what we are going to do. Please tell me what you want! Because you are the driver, come and tell me what do you want us to do, to improve these results.”
On Thursday, Alonso hinted at potential changes being on the horizon beyond the fuel flow increase that has been set in stone.
His comments caused intrigue in the paddock, but now appear to be related to his conversations with Ben Sulayem.
“I still have some hope that next year’s rule will still have to be tweaked again, that this is not the final version,” he said.
Aston Martin chief trackside officer Mike Krack said at the Madring circuit that a decision on Alonso’s future would depend on a lot of factors. But he had faith that, whatever it was Alonso wanted, it would be seen through.
“I think he made clear that it is not one single thing that he wants to see change,” explained Krack. “I think the sport needs someone like that. I think we will all be keen to see Fernando continue.
“And what can be done to accommodate, I think it will be done. And then I hope we come to a good solution and continue.”
Ben Sulayem is emphatic that he will do what he can to ensure that this is not Alonso’s final year in F1.
“There's no way we can allow Fernando to leave,” he said. “He has to be successful, and then he leaves whenever he wants, not because he was forced to leave because of the performance.”
