奥利弗·贝尔曼合同传闻背后的真相
F1车手合同季节本应已结束，但关于一位剩余未签约车手的奇怪说法在墨西哥大奖赛周末前引起了人们的关注。
什么是“绝对胡说”的奥利弗·贝尔曼合同传闻背后的事情
哈斯车队负责人小松英昭痛斥了网上关于奥利弗·贝尔曼过度财务要求导致其合同续约谈判停滞的指控
Formula 1的车手合同季节本以为已经结束很久，但关于少数剩余未签约车手之一的奇怪说法在墨西哥大奖赛周末前夕引起了人们的惊讶关注。
哈斯F1车队已经宣布埃斯蒂班·奥康将在下个赛季让位于Formula 2领跑者拉斐尔·卡马拉，但确认奥利弗·贝尔曼2027赛季的延迟似乎引发了填补空缺的猜测。其中一些更离奇的指控包括贝尔曼的管理层要求600万欧元的费用。
这个数字的来源是一个自称拥有一级方程式商业内幕信息的业余博主，随后其他网站和社交媒体‘影响者’未经证实就放大了这个说法。就像许多这样的故事一样，它最终达到了一个重复的阈值，被人们接受为事实。
当被问及贝尔曼的所谓要求时，哈斯车队负责人小松昭雄在FIA周五的新闻发布会上明显表现出愤怒。
“你能澄清一下，你明白这从哪里来吗？不？正是如此。我也不明白，”小松昭雄说。
“我不知道这从哪里来。我在这个赛季也经历过这种情况——有人说无风不起浪，但确实有些人会编造故事。
“你都知道在迈阿密发生了什么，显然我和埃斯蒂班·奥康发生了争执——那完全是毫无根据的。甚至那些声称自己有内部信息的人——完全是胡说八道。”
“这一次，同样，我不知道谁散布了这6000万欧元的数字。我第一次看到它是在Instagram上，或者是斯图[莫里森，通讯主管]转发给我的。我只是想，‘哦，太好了，有人认为这是挑起事端的好方法’。
“我没有什么可说的，因为这根本不是事实。我们为什么要参与这种毫无根据的胡说八道，这有什么意义？这些人显然不是试图把事情搞对，现在的人们不检查来源真是太令人惊讶了——‘所以，好吧，我想吸引更多的点击，我想得到更多的点赞’，所以他们剪贴这些故事并继续传播。然后在你意识到之前，已经有20个人在传播这些故事，他们认为这是真的——完全是胡说八道。”
Motorsport.com了解到，达成协议的延误有着更为复杂的根源。据法拉利内部人士透露，贝尔曼的管理层一直在争取确保他能在2028年通过Scuderia获得一个赛车席位，这是基于刘易斯·汉密尔顿将退役的假设。
上周报道，卡马拉晋升为哈斯车队的F1车手，这意味着比尔曼现在有一个直接的竞争对手——如果法拉利的座位变得可用。等待的时间越长，卡马拉获得的经验就越多。
"我不喜欢透露我们合同的细节，但奥利展现出了惊人的潜力," 科马茨说。"他为车队成功做出了很多贡献，我们希望一起成长。我们希望作为车队向前移动。
“所以，首先我们需要为‘27年准备一辆具有竞争力的赛车。这不会是一个容易的挑战，因为在‘26年我们犯了一个错误，所以这也是‘27年需要付出的代价。但我们的重点是真正最大化我们控制范围内的一切，真正尝试推出一辆具有竞争力的‘27年赛车。”

What's behind "absolute nonsense" Oliver Bearman contract rumours
Haas team principal Ayao Komatsu has blasted online claims that Oliver Bearman's excessive financial demands are stalling talks over his contract renewal
Formula 1's driver-contract season was thought to be long over, but a bizarre claim about one of the few remaining out-of-contract drivers has gained surprising traction in the run-up to the Mexico Grand Prix weekend.
The Haas F1 team has already announced Esteban Ocon's exit in favour of Formula 2 frontrunner Rafael Camara next season, but an apparent delay in confirming Oliver Bearman for 2027 has prompted speculation to fill the vacuum. Among the more outlandish claims has been that Bearman's management is demanding a fee of €6million.
It's understood the source of this figure is an amateur blogger purporting to have inside information on F1 business matters, and the claim has then been amplified without substantiation by other websites and social media ‘influencers'. As with many such stories, it then passed a threshold of repetition where it became accepted as fact.
Naturally Haas team principal Ayao Komatsu responded with manifest irritation when he was asked in the FIA's Friday press conference about Bearman's supposed demands.
"Can you clarify, do you understand where that comes from? No? Exactly. Neither do I," Komatsu said.
"I have no idea where that comes from. I've experienced it sometimes this season as well – people say there's no smoke without fire but there really are some people who will invent a story.
"You know what happened in Miami, apparently I had argument with Esteban Ocon – that's just absolutely zero truth in there. And even those people claiming that they have some insider information – absolute total nonsense.
"And this one, again, I don't know who smoked up this €6million number. The first time I saw it was on Instagram or something that Stu [Morrison, head of communications] forwarded to me. I was just like, ‘Oh great, somebody thought this is a good thing to stir whatever up'.
"I have no comment to make because it's just not even close to the truth. Why do we engage in such absolute nonsense, what's the point of it? Those people are clearly not trying to get anything right, it's amazing these days that people don't check the source – ‘So, OK, I want to get some more clicks, I want to get some more likes', so they cut and paste those stories and keep running with it. And then before you know it there are 20 people running the stories and they think it's the truth – it's absolute nonsense."
Motorsport.com understands that the delay in agreeing terms has rather more complicated roots. According to Ferrari insiders, Bearman's management have been pushing for assurances that he has a pathway to a race seat with the Scuderia in 2028, on the assumption that Lewis Hamilton will retire.
As reported last week, Camara's promotion to an F1 drive with Haas means Bearman now has a direct rival – should a Ferrari seat become available. The longer the wait, the more experience Camara gains.
"I don't like to go into the details of our contract, but Ollie is showing amazing potential," said Komatsu. "He's contributing a lot to the team's success and we want to grow together. We want to move up the grid as a team.
"So, first and foremost we need a competitive car for '27. It's not going to be an easy challenge because in '26 we made a mistake, so that's paying the price for '27 as well. But our focus is really to maximize everything under our control, really trying to roll out a competitive '27 car."
