奥康否认与哈斯分歧中使用暴力
奥康称在墨西哥大奖赛周末中途被哈斯替换前，车队内部存在“观点分歧”，但否认了“使用了肢体暴力”的猜测。哈斯未说明换人原因，后备车手平川亮因此完成F1排位赛和正赛首秀。
埃斯特班·奥康称，在F1墨西哥大奖赛周末中途被意外替换之前，哈斯内部存在“观点分歧”，但他否认了“使用了肢体暴力”的猜测。
奥康在墨西哥被哈斯后备车手平川亮替换，这位日本车手此前已在第一节练习中作为其测试与后备车手计划的一部分替车队出场。
周六上午，哈斯出人意料地宣布，已在第二节练习中回到赛车的奥康不会完成本周末剩余比赛，平川亮将改为完成自己的F1排位赛和正赛首秀。
哈斯没有给出原因，但很快可以明确的是，这与疾病或伤病无关——而这两者通常是周末中途换人的原因。
在官方解释缺位留下的空白中，一些猜测提到了周五晚上的争执。法国《队报》甚至报道称“车队领队小松礼雄与奥康的会面突然结束，甚至可能发生了肢体冲突”。
在第二次自由练习中，奥康因对一项他并不满意的运行计划调整与比赛工程师劳拉·穆勒进行了充满沮丧的车队无线电通话，随后他戴着赛车头盔回到车库，明显显得沮丧，但此后没有证据表明发生了任何不当之事。
奥康在周末中途离队发生时以及周六大部分时间里都保持沉默，但在排位赛之后，他发表了一份声明，这份声明更侧重于纠正他所了解到的一种事件版本，而非说明自己的处境。
“在哈斯F1车队最近做出决定、确认我将不参加本周末的墨西哥城大奖赛之后，我希望正式回应一些围绕此事的媒体报道和猜测，”奥康说。
昨晚，观点上的分歧引发了与相关各方的一次讨论。
虽然我承认此事确实发生，但我坚决否认任何暗示曾使用任何形式的身体暴力来解决任何性质分歧的报道或指控。
我强烈谴责一切形式的暴力，并坚信分歧应始终以专业、尊重和相互理解的方式处理。
我恳请大家在此事处理期间避免猜测。
“后续进展将在适当时候通报。”
奥康承认存在“观点分歧”，随后又提到“任何性质的分歧”，这虽然含糊，但至少支持了这样一种解读：让奥康坐冷板凳是哈斯车队在练习赛之后发生的某件事后做出的有意选择。
不过，那件事究竟是什么仍不清楚，因为哈斯车队拒绝进一步讨论此事，而车队领队小松礼雄在第三次自由练习赛期间于维修区墙接受天空体育F1采访时也多次拒绝置评。
平川亮顶替奥康，在F1首秀中排位赛位列第19快。
英文原文
Esteban Ocon has claimed there was a "difference in viewpoints" within Haas prior to his shock replacement in the middle of Formula 1's Mexican Grand Prix weekend - but has rejected speculation "physical violence was used".
Ocon has been replaced by Haas reserve Ryo Hirakawa in Mexico, where the Japanese driver had filled in already during FP1 as part of his test and reserve programme.
On Saturday morning, Haas made the surprise announcement that Ocon - who had been back in the car for FP2 - would not complete the rest of the weekend and Hirakawa would make his F1 qualifying and race debut instead.
Haas did not give a reason why but it soon became clear it was not related to illness or injury - the factors typically responsible for a mid-weekend change like this.
In the vacuum left by an official explanation, some speculation alluded to an altercation on Friday evening. French newspaper L'Equipe even reported "the meeting between team principal Ayao Komatsu and Ocon ended abruptly, perhaps even physically".
After a frustrated radio communication with his race engineer Laura Mueller in FP2, over a runplan change Ocon was not happy with, he returned to his garage with his crash helmet still on and seemed demonstrably frustrated, but there was no evidence of anything untoward taking place thereafter.
Ocon remained silent on his mid-weekend exit when it happened and for most of Saturday but after qualifying he issued a statement that was more focused on correcting a version of events he had become aware of, than it was addressing his situation.
"Following the recent decision from Haas F1 Team confirming that I will not be participating in this weekend's Mexico City Grand Prix, I wish to formally address some media reports and speculation surrounding the situation," said Ocon.
"Last night, a difference in viewpoints led to a discussion with the parties involved.
"Whilst I acknowledge that this took place, I categorically reject any reports or allegations suggesting that any form of physical violence was used to resolve any differences of any nature.
"I strongly condemn violence in all its forms and firmly believe that disagreements should always be handled with professionalism, respect, and mutual understanding.
"I kindly ask that speculation be avoided while the matter is being addressed.
"Further updates will be communicated in due course."
That Ocon acknowledges a "difference in viewpoints" and then "differences of any nature" is vague but at least supports the interpretation that benching him was a deliberate choice made by Haas in response to something that happened after practice.
Exactly what that was remains unclear, though, given Haas refuses to discuss the matter further and team boss Ayao Komatsu repeatedly declined to comment when interviewed by Sky Sports F1 while on the pitwall during FP3.
Hirakawa qualified 19th fastest on his F1 debut in Ocon's place.
