法拉利内斗葬送墨西哥站胜利？勒克莱尔与汉密尔顿首圈争夺引争议
法拉利在墨西哥大奖赛首圈本可凭借1-2领跑控制比赛，但勒克莱尔与汉密尔顿的激烈争夺让维斯塔潘的红牛车队夺走胜利。The Race的评论认为，法拉利再次为允许车手自由竞争付出代价。
法拉利F1车队是否因查尔斯·勒克莱尔在首圈对队友刘易斯·汉密尔顿的进攻而葬送了墨西哥大奖赛的胜利？
以下是我们对墨西哥城所发生事件的看法。
法拉利似乎忽略了蒙扎那面巨大的红旗：如果你让车手在首圈就激烈对抗，这将会让你付出代价。
法拉利在墨西哥1号弯前处于1-2领先，本可以在那之后控制比赛。
相反，勒克莱尔和汉密尔顿像在争夺年度冠军的最后一轮那样互相缠斗，把胜利拱手让给了马克斯·维斯塔潘的红牛车队。
两人在4号弯都做得太过火了——如果汉密尔顿没有冲出赛道，他就不会输给维斯塔潘。而勒克莱尔根本没能接近弯心。
法拉利不能再让他们这样互相竞争了，因为他们已经反复证明，这样做不可能不把位置送给对手。
我看不出法拉利怎么能信任自己的车手。他们在赛季后半段已经出现了三次重大冲突点——而这次是最严重的一次，因为它让法拉利丢掉了比赛胜利。这无疑为维斯塔潘打开了大门。
首先是在赞德沃特，当时气氛就有些微妙紧张，勒克莱尔拒绝了车队让他为采用不同策略的汉密尔顿让路的指令。那很自私，也没有必要。
接着是在蒙扎，首圈就发生了冲突——两人都过于拼命地互相缠斗，勒克莱尔最终把过于乐观的汉密尔顿挤出了第一个减速弯后的砂石区。在法拉利的主场比赛中，这既愚蠢又毫无必要。
现在又来了这个。两人在一定程度上都有错，勒克莱尔不必要地跟队友拼得太凶——汉密尔顿差点冲出赛道，但勒克莱尔以那个速度，试一百万次也过不了那个弯。
在F1中，法拉利的胜利很稀少，这个赛季很艰难——而且相比汉密尔顿，勒克莱尔的赛季尤其充满挑战。所以我理解他为什么在拼。他绝对应该去拼。但必须比这更有常识。
不幸的是，这现在已经成了一个明显的模式。他们（尤其是勒克莱尔）一再把自己置于车队之前，损害了法拉利的成绩，破坏了车手之间的默契，侵蚀了信任，并给一支比任何其他车队都更受放大镜审视的车队带来了不必要的关注和争议。
从微观层面看，这是自我毁灭性的，因为很难想象如果没有第4弯的那次自毁行为，法拉利会赢不下这场比赛；但从宏观层面看，考虑到更大的图景，存在一个更根本的问题。
他们正面临严重、甚至可能是致命地削弱弗雷德·瓦塞尔领导力的风险。勒克莱尔信任这个项目，正是因为他。是他把汉密尔顿带进了车队。
如果他们不愿为他守规矩，那他们还能为法拉利守规矩吗？
你本以为法拉利会从蒙扎站吸取教训——在那里勒克莱尔和汉密尔顿实际上在第一个减速弯就毁掉了他们的比赛。
这一次他们撑到了4号弯，两人双双刹车过晚，为马克斯·维斯塔潘敞开了大门，后者抓住机会取得了一场精彩的胜利。
保持公平、给两位车手同等的争胜机会是正确的做法，但如果这同时意味着冒着丢掉胜利的风险，那这种立场就站不住脚了。
在两个月前的蒙扎站已经暴露出需要及早掐灭的潜在紧张局势的情况下，如今还发生这种事，是不可原谅的。
勒克莱尔和汉密尔顿在4号弯都不愿让步，这种绝望似乎源于彼此缺乏信任，或许还有车队管理层不愿介入的因素，而这是必须解决的问题，因为总有一天法拉利丢掉的将不只是分站胜利——这种事足以让你丢掉总冠军。
在我看来，法拉利这次失利归根结底是汉密尔顿的错。尽管我们永远无法知道，如果他在起步时守住领先位置，能否挡住后来猛烈追击的维斯塔潘。
如果汉密尔顿在第一圈与勒克莱尔的缠斗中没有跑宽，他本会处于领先并掌控比赛。好吧，也许勒克莱尔本该被告知不要拼得那么凶，但在法拉利没有任何比赛规则的情况下，汉密尔顿只能像对待其他车手一样与勒克莱尔竞争。
即便有规则存在，你也得准备好队友会违反规则。F1的历史告诉我们这一点！
如果汉密尔顿没有犯那个错误，在那次交锋之后他本应处于领先。
我非常尊重汉密尔顿，但他在比赛中花了太多时间在无线电上摆姿态，而实际上他应该为自己在这次事件中的角色承担责任。
法拉利不能像毫无损失那样去比赛
由于夺冠希望早已破灭，你可能会说法拉利现在已经没有什么可失去的了，所以它的车手们应该在剩余比赛中各自放手一搏。
但考虑到这支车队已经很久没有赢得任何冠军，考虑到法拉利每次做出任何令人失望的事情（自2000年代中期以来大多数时候都是如此）时都会承受巨大压力，它现在需要团结、纪律以及流畅、和谐的比赛中执行。
它本场比赛中完全有机会以1-2完赛。它需要一个计划来确保第一圈结束时处于实现这一目标的位置，并且需要知道它可以信任车手们执行该计划。这些它都没有。
当你没有明确界定的一号车手，而你的两位车手在速度上又相当接近时，你总是容易陷入这些情况。
我们已经在塞纳和普罗斯特、曼塞尔和皮奎特、汉密尔顿和罗斯伯格、诺里斯和皮亚斯特里之间看到过这种情况，甚至在红牛意识到没有这种明确界定你会失去更多而不是获得更多之前，维斯塔潘和里卡多之间也是如此。
我们已经多次看到法拉利相当慢，而且还要加上他们在维修区策略决策上的薄弱。这场比赛的问题在于勒克莱尔和汉密尔顿都在出4号弯时冲出赛道，然而汉密尔顿确实在赛道上压到了5号弯的弯心，而勒克莱尔根本不在意，并且明显拉开了优势，所以对此处以五秒罚时是合理的。
然而这并不能弥补汉密尔顿在比赛第一阶段不得不行驶在脏空气中而遭受的时间损失，而勒克莱尔却能在干净空气中跑在前面。
我不知道除了在赛道上立即执行罚时之外你还能怎么做，所以基本上在这种情况下，如果车手本人或车队在国际汽联做出决定时没有要求其车手让出获得的位置或获得的时间，那么你必须在下次越过起终点线前让出所施加罚时的时间损失。
如果这意味着你失去更多位置，那就这样吧。
更令人有些担忧的是，勒克莱尔似乎没有从最初那次事件中吸取任何教训，在红旗后的重新起步时，他的驾驶风格同样激进，甚至更加激进。
马拉内罗——或者他们周一进行赛后复盘的任何地方——将会有点热闹。
英文原文
Did the Ferrari Formula 1 team cost itself Mexican Grand Prix victory with Charles Leclerc’s first lap attack on team-mate Lewis Hamilton?
Here’s our take on what unfolded at Mexico City.
Ferrari appears to have missed the giant red flag of Monza: if you let your drivers race each other hard on lap one, it’s going to cost you.
Ferrari was 1-2 on the approach to Turn 1 in Mexico and it could have controlled the race thereafter.
Instead Leclerc and Hamilton battled each other like it was a final round title decider and handed victory to Max Verstappen’s Red Bull.
Both went too far in Turn 4 - if Hamilton hadn’t gone off the track he wouldn’t have lost out to Verstappen. And Leclerc wasn’t anywhere near making the corner.
Ferrari can’t keep letting them race like this because they’ve now repeatedly proved they can’t do it without gifting places to rivals.
I don't see how Ferrari can trust its drivers. They've had three significant flashpoints in the second half of the season - with this being the most severe of all, given it has cost Ferrari a race victory. It certainly opened the door to Verstappen.
First there was low-key tension at Zandvoort, when Leclerc rejected a team instruction to move aside for Hamilton on a different strategy. That was selfish and unnecessary.
Then came the clash on the opening lap at Monza - too busy trying to race each other hard, Leclerc eventually crowding an optimistic Hamilton into the gravel exiting the first chicane. Stupid and needless at Ferrari's home race.
Now this. Both were in the wrong to a degree, Leclerc racing his team-mate unnecessarily hard - Hamilton just about went off, but Leclerc wasn't making that corner in a million attempts at that speed.
Wins are rare for Ferrari in F1, it's been a tough season - and Leclerc's had a particularly challenging campaign compared to Hamilton. So I get why he's trying. He absolutely should try. But there's got to be more common sense than that.
Unfortunately it is now a clear pattern. Repeat instances where they (Leclerc especially) have put themselves before the team hurt Ferrari's results, damage the chemistry between the drivers, erode trust and cause needless scrutiny and controversy for a team that's under the magnifying glass more than any other.
It's self-destructive on a micro level because it's hard to see how a Ferrari doesn't win this race without that act of sabotage at Turn 4 but on a macro level there's a more fundamental problem given the bigger picture.
They are at risk of seriously, potentially fatally, undermining Fred Vasseur's leadership. He is the reason Leclerc trusts the project. He brought Hamilton into the team.
If they won't behave for him, will they ever be able to behave for Ferrari?
You would have thought that Ferrari would have learned its lessons from Monza – where Leclerc and Hamilton effectively blew their race at the first chicane.
This time they got as far as Turn 4, with the pair outbraking themselves and leaving the open door for Max Verstappen to come through and take a brilliant win.
Keeping things fair and giving both your drivers an equal chance to fight for wins is the right thing to do, but that stance cannot come if it also means risking throwing away wins.
It is inexcusable for this to have happened now when Monza two months ago exposed an underlying tension already that needed nipping in the bud.
Leclerc and Hamilton's desperation to not concede at Turn 4 appears to have foundations in a lack of trust in each other, and perhaps an unwillingness of team management to intervene, and is something that needs to be addressed because at some point it won’t just be wins Ferrari is throwing away - it is the sort of thing that costs you titles.
This Ferrari loss was ultimately Hamilton's fault, for me. Although we'll never know if he could have held off a charging Verstappen if he’d stayed in front at the start.
If Hamilton hadn't run wide in his duel with Leclerc on lap one, he would have been in the lead and in control of the race. OK, maybe Leclerc should have been told not to fight so hard, but in the absence of any Ferrari racing rules, Hamilton has to race Leclerc like anyone else.
Even if there were rules in place, you have to be ready for the team-mate to break them. F1 history tells us that!
If Hamilton hadn't made that mistake, he'd have been ahead after that exchange.
I have so much respect for Hamilton, but he spent far too much of the race posturing on the radio, and in actual fact he should have taken responsibility for his role in the incident.
Ferrari can't race like it has nothing to lose
With its title hopes long since over, you could argue Ferrari has nothing to lose now so its drivers should just go for broke individually at the remaining races.
But given how long it’s been since this team won any titles, given the overwhelming pressure around Ferrari anytime it does anything disappointing (which is most of the time since the mid-2000s), it needs unity, discipline and smooth, harmonious, race execution now.
It had everything in its hands to finish 1-2 in this race. It needed a plan to ensure it ended the first lap poised to achieve that, and it needed to know it could trust its drivers to follow that plan. It had none of that.
When you don’t have a clearly defined number one driver and your two drivers are fairly equal pace-wise you are always vulnerable to these situations.
We've seen it between Senna and Prost, Mansell and Piquet, Hamilton and Rosberg, Norris and Piastri, even Verstappen and Ricciardo before Red Bull realised without this clear definition you lose more than you gain.
We have seen it on many occasions that Ferrari are fairly slow and to add to that weak at pitlane strategy decision making. The problem in this race was that both Leclerc and Hamilton went off track exiting Turn 4, however Hamilton did make the apex of Turn 5 on the track, whereas Leclerc didn’t bother and clearly opened up an advantage, so a five-second penalty for that is justified.
However what it doesn’t make up for is the time loss that Hamilton suffered by having to run that first part of the race in dirty air whilst Leclerc could run out front in clean air.
I don’t know what you do about that other than the penalty being applied immediately while on track, so basically in this instance if the driver himself or team doesn’t request its driver to give up the gained position or gained time by the point the FIA have made its decision, then you have to give up that applied penalty time loss by the next time you cross the start-finish line.
If that means you lose more positions, then so be it.
What is a little more worrying is that Leclerc didn’t seem to learn anything from that initial episode and was just as or even more aggressive at the restart after the red flag.
Maranello - or wherever they will have their Monday post-race debrief - will be a bit exciting.
