FIA解释勒克莱尔墨西哥站受罚依据
国际汽联F1赛事干事解释了为何仅对勒克莱尔在墨西哥大奖赛首圈切弯超越汉密尔顿处以5秒罚时。
国际汽联F1赛事干事解释了为何仅对夏尔·勒克莱尔处以5秒罚时，原因是他在墨西哥大奖赛首圈切弯并超越刘易斯·汉密尔顿取得领先。
这两位法拉利队友从起步起就争夺头名，在开场的连续弯角中已经并排行驶，随后勒克莱尔在4号弯外侧发起进攻。
两位车手都尽可能晚刹车，勒克莱尔冲出赛道、横穿草地，在5号弯后回到领先位置。
在他身后，汉密尔顿为防守而晚刹车，也略微跑宽，损失了动量，让身后的马克斯·维斯塔潘完成超越，抢走第二的位置。
赛道的这个区域和第一组弯角一样，适用一项特殊规则，以避免车手在开场圈耍花招，从草地上抄近道来获得位置。
在赛前发给车队的通知中，国际汽联在车手简报会讨论后表示：“任何赛车在这些区域离开赛道，并保持在紧邻后方一辆或多辆赛车（由赛会干事判定）之前的位置，都可能被视为获得了持久优势，除非该位置在第4弯（针对在第1至第3弯区域离开赛道的赛车）或第12弯（针对在第4至第6弯区域离开赛道的赛车）让出。”
由于勒克莱尔没有把位置让给汉密尔顿，因此他因获得优势而接受调查——最终决定对他处以5秒罚时。
但这引发了争议，尤其是汉密尔顿认为，鉴于勒克莱尔因处于干净空气中所获得的优势让他得以建立缓冲，处罚本应是标准的10秒。
汉密尔顿在跟随维斯塔潘身后排名第三时通过无线电表示：“五秒罚时的问题在于他获得了干净空气。他不必像我们其他人那样管理轮胎。”
他随后表示：“赛会干事基本上把这个冠军拱手送给了勒克莱尔……我们对此达成过一致，在车手简报会上。”
在解释为何勒克莱尔被处以五秒罚时的时候，国际汽联赛会干事表示存在减轻处罚的情节——其中包括汉密尔顿本人在防守领先位置时冲出了赛道。
赛会干事在声明中表示：“赛会干事认定两辆车都以过快速度进入4号弯，因此两车都无法在赛道上完成过弯，正如44号车（汉密尔顿）处于内线，不得不驶出赛道才能过弯所证明的那样。”
“因此，16号车[勒克莱尔]由于入弯速度过快，无权主张对该弯角的拥有权。该车手随后在赛道外完成了超车，因此这应当受到处罚。
“基准处罚标准是10秒，但减轻处罚的因素是，44号车在16号车内侧时也处于赛道外，而且这发生在第一圈早期。”
勒克莱尔的五秒罚时意味着他在第一次进站后掉到了维斯塔潘后面，随后瓦尔特利·博塔斯的撞车引发了红旗。
英文原文
The FIA Formula 1 stewards have explained why Charles Leclerc was only given a five-second penalty for cutting the track and passing Lewis Hamilton for the lead of the Mexico Grand Prix on the opening lap.
The Ferrari team-mates were duelling for the front spot from the start, having already gone side by side through the opening sequence of corners when Leclerc made a move on the outside of Turn 4.
Both drivers braked as late as possible, with Leclerc running wide and cutting across the grass before rejoining at the front after Turn 5.
Behind him Hamilton, in his attempt to defend by braking late, had run slightly wide - costing him momentum which allowed the pursuing Max Verstappen to make a move and snatch second spot.
This area of the track was, like the first corners, subject to a special rule to avoid shenanigans on opening laps of drivers cutting across the grass to gain positions.
In a note sent to teams ahead of the race, following discussions in the drivers' briefing, the FIA said: "Any car leaving the track in these areas and maintaining a position to a car or cars within close proximity behind (as determined by the stewards) may be considered as gaining a lasting advantage, unless such position is yielded by Turn 4 [in the case of a car leaving the track in the area of Turns 1 to 3], or by Turn 12 [in the case of a car leaving the track in the area of Turns 4 to 6.]”
With Leclerc having not given up the place to Hamilton, he was therefore put under investigation for gaining an advantage – and it was decided that he would get a five-second penalty.
That proved controversial though with Hamilton in particular feeling that, with the advantage that Leclerc gained from having clean air which allowed him to build up a buffer, the sanction should have been the standard 10 seconds.
In messages over his radio as he ran third behind Verstappen, Hamilton said: "[The] problem with the five second penalty is he's got clean air. He doesn't have to manage like the rest of us.”
He later said: "The stewards have basically handed Charles this win.... we agreed, drivers' briefing.”
In explaining why Leclerc was given a five-second penalty, the FIA stewards said that there were mitigating circumstances – which included Hamilton himself having run off the track as he defended the lead.
"The stewards have determined that both cars entered Turn 4 with excessive speed and therefore neither would have been able to make the corner on track, as demonstrated by the fact that car 44 [Hamilton] which was on the inside, had to go off track to make the corner," said the stewards in a statement.
"Car 16 [Leclerc] was therefore not entitled to claim the corner due to the excessive entry speed. The driver then completed an overtake whilst off track and accordingly this warrants a penalty.
"The baseline penalty guideline is 10 seconds, however in mitigation is the fact that car 44 was also off track on the inside of car 16 and this occurred early in the first lap.”
Leclerc's five second penalty meant he dropped behind Verstappen at his first stop, prior to the red flag being brought out by Valtteri Bottas's crash.
