加斯利蒙扎夺F1生涯首个杆位
皮埃尔·加斯利在蒙扎排位赛中驾驶阿尔派赛车夺得个人F1生涯首个杆位,他形容这条赛道“有些特别”。六年前他曾在这里赢得目前唯一一场分站冠军。
“这里有些特别的东西”——皮埃尔·加斯利在蒙扎获得个人首个一级方程式杆位后欣喜若狂
这位阿尔卑斯车队的车手表示,为了庆祝自己的第一个一级方程式杆位,他已经“等了九年”,而且能在他第一次赢得大奖赛的同一地点蒙扎拿下杆位,这让这一刻更加特别
“我喜欢这条赛道,”皮埃尔·加斯利一边把他的阿尔卑斯赛车开进赛后检录区一边打趣道。不是开进其他车手通常使用的围栏区,而是朝着一级方程式发车区上标着1号位的立柱开去
六年前,在新冠疫情最严重的时候,加斯利在蒙扎取得了他职业生涯迄今唯一的分站冠军,在俯瞰空荡荡看台的荒凉领奖台上庆祝。而周六则截然不同,加斯利得以向观众、他的车队以及他欣喜若狂的父母致意
"出发,出发!我一直在等这一天!"当比赛工程师告知他这个结果时,他通过无线电大喊道,与此同时他的阿尔卑斯车库团队瞬间化作一片欢呼挥舞的海洋。
如果说他2020年驾驶阿尔法·托利(AlphaTauri)夺冠纯属意外——尽管也有形势的助推——那么这一次在速度圣殿直面正面对决,击败梅赛德斯、法拉利和迈凯伦的强大阵容,就更加出乎意料了。
皮埃尔·加斯利坐在领奖台上,回味他在2020年意大利大奖赛的胜利。
加斯利在第一轮练习后已经以令人惊艳的第三名完赛,但他没有止步于此。在最后一轮中,他借助法拉利车手刘易斯·汉密尔顿的尾流实现拖曳(tow)加速,超越乔治·拉塞尔和迈凯伦的奥斯卡·皮亚斯特里,仅以0.060秒的微弱优势夺得杆位,充分发挥了阿尔卑斯强劲的梅赛德斯动力单元在蒙扎高速赛道布局中的优势。
"从第一节排位赛的第一圈开始,我在车里感觉就非常好,每一节都在努力一点点提升。那一圈感觉非常棒,"这位法国车手解释道。
"我太开心了,我追逐杆位、争取拿到杆位的机会已经整整九年了。在蒙扎赢得我的第一场分站冠军,又在这条赛道拿到我的第一个杆位,我觉得在这里有些东西很特别。
夏尔·勒克莱尔祝贺皮埃尔·加斯利在蒙扎拿下杆位。
赛前夺冠热门拉塞尔起初听到自己被加斯利以微弱优势击败时十分震惊,但随后很快对这位30岁车手表示了赞赏。"向皮埃尔表示热烈祝贺,因为这是一次不可思议的表现,"拉塞尔说道。
“其实在大奖赛排位赛开始前15分钟,我们刚下完一盘国际象棋,他赢了我,我当时想:‘我觉得我会在排位赛里赢你’。结果现在,他又跑到我前面去了。
“没拿到杆位我挺失望的,维斯塔潘在前面开圈稍微有点乱,我的飞驰圈跑得非常接近(完美)。但加斯利和阿尔派一直非常快,从第一节排位赛(Q1)开始就是这样。”
在加斯利和拉塞尔之后,皮亚斯特里和夏尔·勒克莱尔原本将占据第二排发车位,不过这位迈凯伦车手因阻挡他人已被国际汽联比赛干事传唤,很可能面临发车位罚退。

"Something special here" - Pierre Gasly ecstatic to take maiden F1 pole in Monza
The Alpine driver says he was "waiting for nine years" to celebrate his first Formula 1 pole, and felt taking it at the same venue as his first grand prix win in Monza made it even more special
"I like this track," Pierre Gasly quipped as he steered his Alpine into parc ferme. Not into the usual enclosure for the rest of the pack, but towards the bollard indicating the number 1 on the Formula 1 grid.
Six years ago, Gasly took his hitherto only career win in Monza at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, celebrating on a desolate podium overseeing empty grandstands. Not so on Saturday, where Gasly was able salute the crowd, his crew and his ecstatic parents.
"Let's go, let's go! I've been waiting for that one!" he yelled into his radio as he was informed by his race engineer of his fate, while his Alpine garage crew morphed into a sea of limbs.
If his AlphaTauri win in 2020 came as a total surprise, though aided by the circumstances, then defeating the might of Mercedes, Ferrari and McLaren at the Temple of Speed in a straight shootout was even more unexpected.
Pierre Gasly sits down on the podium to contemplate his 2020 Italian GP victory.
Gasly had already been an impressive third after the first set of runs, but didn't stop there. On the final run, he leapfrogged both George Russell and McLaren's Oscar Piastri by finding a tow from Ferrari's Lewis Hamilton to claim pole by a mere 0.060s, making the most of Alpine's powerful Mercedes power unit around Monza's high-speed layout.
"From the first lap in Q1, I felt very good in the car, trying to chip away a little bit every single session. It felt like a very good lap," the Frenchman explained.
"I am so happy, it's been nine years trying to chase and get the opportunity to get a pole position. To win my first race in Monza, get my first pole on this track, I think it's something special around here.
Charles Leclerc congratulates Pierre Gasly on his Monza pole.
Pre-event favourite Russell was initially shocked to hear he had been pipped by Gasly but was quick to praise the 30-year-old afterwards. "Massive congratulations to Pierre, because that's an incredible performance," Russell said.
"We actually finished a game of chess 15 minutes before qualifying and he beat me there, and I thought: 'I think I'll beat you in qualifying'. And here we are, he's ahead of me again.
"I was disappointed not to get the pole position, it was a bit messy with [Max] Verstappen opening the lap, I did the lap super close. But Pierre and Alpine have been super fast, even from Q1."
Behind Gasly and Russell, Piastri and Charles Leclerc were set to occupy to second row, though the McLaren driver has been summoned by the FIA race stewards for impeding and faces a likely grid drop.
