乔治·拉塞尔对马克斯·维斯塔潘在排位赛中的举动感到沮丧:“他直接猛踩了刹车”
在F1意大利大奖赛上,基米·安东内利本打算为乔治·拉塞尔提供尾流,马克斯·维斯塔潘却打乱了梅赛德斯的排位赛计划
在F1意大利大奖赛排位赛Q3的最后一圈开始时,马克斯·维斯塔潘“猛踩刹车”,令乔治·拉塞尔感到沮丧,这位梅赛德斯车手以微弱差距与杆位失之交臂。
在进入决定性的排位赛飞驰圈之前,维斯塔潘领先于基米·安东内利和拉塞尔组成的车队,后两人原本计划配合,为拉塞尔提供尽可能好的尾流,反正安东内利无论如何都要接受发车处罚。
不过,尽管安东内利和拉塞尔起初与红牛赛车之间还有一段健康的缓冲距离,但在他们出站圈的尾声——在帕拉波利卡弯前的直道末端——当维斯塔潘以极慢的速度驶向蒙扎的最后一个弯时,三辆赛车挤在了一起。维斯塔潘正好在安东内利前方加速,导致他和拉塞尔之间的距离太近,意大利人无法给他的梅赛德斯队友提供拖曳气流。
安东内利索性驶离赛道放弃了那个飞驰圈,而拉塞尔也觉得自己离这位荷兰车手太近,无法跑出最优的排位圈。
“维斯塔潘进入飞驰圈的时候,我们这边有点乱了,”拉塞尔怒气冲冲地说,他把杆位拱手让给了阿尔派的皮埃尔·加斯利。“本来一切都看起来很正常,但进入帕拉波利卡弯时,马克斯突然猛踩刹车,他不想当头车。”
“这就是那种你没法控制别人行为的事情之一。基米本来是要给我尾流的,第一次尝试时他做得非常完美。但显然碰上马克斯的情况,我觉得这也让基米很难判断该怎么办。所以只能说有点不走运。”
"我做飞驰圈时比Max慢了一秒半,这并不理想。"
Verstappen承认他也想借助Antonelli的尾流,在蒙扎这很容易决定是拿杆位还是排在第一排之外。但这位四届世界冠军表示,他在准备飞驰圈时遇到了动力单元故障,当他踩油门时发动机出现了顿挫。
当被问及是否想迫使Antonelli让路时,他回答说:"是的,但我当时也正想加速,然后发动机熄火了。我要同时应对太多事情,这非常复杂。"
但梅赛德斯车队领队Toto Wolff表示,毫无疑问Verstappen在玩"聪明的"把戏。
"当然,Max 做得非常聪明,他让所有人在最后一个弯道前都挤在一起," Wolff 告诉 Sky Germany。"这意味着 Kimi 距离太近,让 George 无法获得良好的尾流效果,而 George 整圈都处在距离 Max 两秒以内。尤其是在 Parabolica 弯,他吃了亏,因为他只是紧咬在 Max 的车尾后面。"
Verstappen 最终获得第六名,但由于 皮亚斯特里 因阻挡 Verstappen 的队友 劳森 而受到发车处罚,他在周日的发车顺序上将上升一位。

George Russell frustrated with Max Verstappen qualifying antics: "He just slammed on the brakes"
Max Verstappen disrupted Mercedes' qualifying plans at Formula 1's Italian Grand Prix as Kimi Antonelli aimed to give George Russell a slipstream
George Russell was frustrated with Max Verstappen "slamming on the brakes" at the start of their final Q3 laps in Formula 1 Italian Grand Prix qualifying as the Mercedes driver narrowly missed out on pole.
Heading into the decisive qualifying run, Verstappen was leading a train with Kimi Antonelli and Russell, who were planning to work together to hand Russell the best possible slipstream as Antonelli was facing a grid penalty anyway.
But while Antonelli and Russell initially had a healthy buffer to the Red Bull car, towards the end of their out-laps - on the back straight before the Parabolica corner - the three cars were bunched up when Verstappen drove extremely slowly towards Monza's final corner. Verstappen accelerated right ahead of Antonelli, ensuring he and Russell were too close together for the Italian to give his Mercedes team-mate a tow.
Antonelli peeled off and abandoned his lap instead, while Russell also felt he was too close to the Dutchman to turn an optimal qualifying lap.
"We had a bit of a mess with Verstappen entering the lap," Russell fumed as he lost pole to Alpine's Pierre Gasly. "Everything was all looking fine but then going into Parabolica, Max just slammed on the brakes and he didn't want to be the lead car.
"It's just one of those things, you can't control what other people do. Kimi was there to give me the slipstream, which he did perfectly on the first run. But obviously with Max, I think it also made it difficult for Kimi to know what to do as well. So it was just a little bit unfortunate.
"I did my lap a second and a half behind Max, which wasn't ideal."
Verstappen acknowledged that he wanted to pick up a slipstream from Antonelli as well, which can easily make the difference between pole and qualifying off the front row in Monza. But the four-time world champion said he faced power unit trouble as he prepared for his flying lap, with his engine stuttering as he revved it up.
When asked if he wanted to force Antonelli past, he replied: "Yeah, but I was also trying to accelerate and then the engine cut out. I had so many things going on, it's super complicated."
But Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff there was no doubt Verstappen was playing "clever" games.
"Max, of course, did it very cleverly, he made everyone bunch up before the last corner," Wolff told Sky Germany. "That meant Kimi was too close for a good slipstream for George, and George then spent the whole lap within two seconds of Max. Especially in the Parabolica, he lost out because he was simply hanging on Max's gearbox."
Verstappen ended up in sixth, but will gain a place on Sunday's starting grid following Oscar Piastri's grid penalty for impeding Verstappen's team-mate Liam Lawson.
