前F1车手批评刘易斯·汉密尔顿和法拉利犯下“相当马虎”的错误
乔利恩·帕尔默表示,法拉利和刘易斯·汉密尔顿必须消除代价高昂的失误,才能利用梅赛德斯的弱点
前一级方程式车手乔利恩·帕尔默认为,法拉利和刘易斯·汉密尔顿未能利用梅赛德斯罕见的弱点,并将一系列失误形容为“相当马虎”。
在本赛季上半程取得六场大奖赛胜利后,梅赛德斯车队的安东内利在还剩12场比赛的情况下,领先排名第二的七届冠军50分。
帕尔默坚称,法拉利错失了缩小差距的关键机会。在与主持人汤姆·克拉克森和前印地赛车系列赛车手詹姆斯·欣奇克利夫共同参与的一期F1 Nation播客节目中,帕尔默指出,安东内利在英国大奖赛上遇到的可靠性问题,正是马拉内罗车队错失的一个重大机会。
"法拉利只需要继续保持压力,看看会发生什么。但我对他们在最近几场比赛中的表现有点失望,因为我认为基米的一些可靠性问题给了他们这个机会。"帕尔默解释道。
"银石赛道上的轮罩问题是法拉利非常幸运的一击。他们本来要输掉那场比赛,结果最终翻了盘,大幅削减了基米的领先优势。结果他们接下来又吃了一堆处罚。
"所以在银石,刘易斯因为手抬得太快而被判抢发。这相当粗心。在匈牙利,他又过早松开了限速器,哪怕只有一点点。很难说这不算是相当粗心。其中最严重的一个大概就是匈牙利阻挡处罚。天哪,当时比赛工程师的做法实在太粗心了,刘易斯本人可能也有一点责任。
"那三次罚罚显然可能让他们损失了一些积分,但也让他们失去了一点势头,也失去了对Kimi的一点压力。所以,他们必须杜绝这些失误。"
他补充说,汉密尔顿"开得非常出色",但他可能缺乏专注力。
"他开得非常出色。事实上,他在很多时候的速度能与Charles持平甚至领先,这显示了这是一次多么大的转变,"他说。
"很难拿他和他在梅赛德斯的辉煌岁月相比;现在的竞争环境完全不同,车队环境也完全不同。我认为我们正在见证他有史以来的一些最佳表现。"
"这就是为什么我对那些不必要的处罚感到沮丧,因为实际上他的驾驶水平现在非常高。他真正地适应了这些规则,也抓住了摆在他面前的机会。"
"但这些失误,与技巧无关。这就是可笑的地方。这有点像是注意力不集中,或者我不知道,是他和比赛工程师之间的某种疏忽。他们只是让自己失望了。"
"如果法拉利想赢得这个总冠军,我们之前提到过车队指令,以及他们需要将每一个积分最大化的事实——而在最近几场比赛里,他们离做到这一点还很远。"

Lewis Hamilton and Ferrari called out by former F1 driver for "pretty sloppy" errors
Jolyon Palmer says Ferrari and Lewis Hamilton must eliminate costly mistakes if they are to capitalise on Mercedes' vulnerabilities
Former Formula 1 driver Jolyon Palmer believes Ferrari and Lewis Hamilton are failing to capitalise on Mercedes' rare vulnerabilities, labelling a string of mistakes as "pretty sloppy".
Following six grand prix victories in the first half of the season, Mercedes' Kimi Antonelli holds a 50-point advantage over the seven-time champion in second with 12 races remaining.
Palmer insists Ferrari has missed crucial opportunities to close that gap. During an episode of the F1 Nation podcast alongside host Tom Clarkson and former IndyCar Series driver James Hinchcliffe, Palmer pointed to Antonelli's reliability problems at the British Grand Prix as a major opening that the Maranello outfit missed.
"Ferrari have to just keep the pressure on and see what happens. But I'm a little bit disappointed in them in recent races because I think they've been given this chance with some reliability woes for Kimi," Palmer explained.
"The wheel cover stuff at Silverstone was a really lucky strike for Ferrari. They were going to lose that race, and they ended up coming through, taking a big dent out of Kimi's lead. And then they go and get all these penalties.
"So you've got a jump start for Lewis at Silverstone just because he moved his hand too quickly. That's pretty sloppy. You've got him unlatching the pitlane speed limiter a fraction early in Hungary. It's hard to argue that's not pretty sloppy. You've got the biggest one of all of them probably being the impeding penalty in Hungary. My word, that's so sloppy from the race engineer at that point and maybe a little bit from Lewis as well.
"And those three penalties may have cost them some points, obviously, but also a little bit of momentum and a little bit of that pressure on Kimi. So, they have to cut those out."
He added that Hamilton is "driving brilliantly" but that he may be lacking concentration.
"He's driving brilliantly. The fact that he's even matching or ahead of Charles on pace a lot of the time shows what a great turnaround it's been," he said.
"It's really difficult to compare to his glory years at Mercedes; the competition's so different. The environment is so different. I think we are seeing some of the best that he's ever done.
"That's why I have the frustration at the needless penalties because actually his driving level is exceptionally high right now. He's really risen to these regs and the opportunity that's there for him.
"But then these mistakes, they're not to do with skill. That's the silly thing. It's kind of a lack of concentration, or I don't know, attention or something in him and the race engineer. And they've just let themselves down.
"If Ferrari wants to win this championship, we mentioned team orders before, and the fact that they would need to maximise every point - they are a long way from doing that in the last few races."
