勒克莱尔称法拉利墨西哥站风波已内部解决
勒克莱尔表示,法拉利在墨西哥大奖赛后的内部紧张已通过谈话解决,他认为此事被过度放大,不应继续讨论。
当刘易斯·汉密尔顿和弗雷德·瓦塞尔在巴西面对关于法拉利墨西哥大奖赛风波、以及需要怎样做才能确保汉密尔顿和夏尔·勒克莱尔真正互相竞争而不损害车队利益的一连串问题时,勒克莱尔的观点基本上没有出现在讨论中。
由于上周第一个孩子出生,他较晚才加入这场讨论,这可以理解;用他自己的话说:“我把比安卡抱在怀里的那段时间,脑子里没有太多别的或其他的东西,这种情况大概一直持续到周四晚上我抵达、该和弗雷德、刘易斯谈话的时候。”
周五练习后的媒体区有过简短评论,勒克莱尔当时说,在这些内部谈话后,他认为此事“完全解决”,并且“我认为我们今后不应该再过多谈论它”。
周六排位赛后,勒克莱尔不得不应对更多试图让他就此敞开心扉的问题,而他基本上坚持了同样的说法。
“当然,从我的角度来看,我非常直接,我认为能谈一谈是件好事,”他说。“我认为在这样的时刻之后,这总是必要的。”
“我认为这件事被放得太大了,但它也已经存在太久了。”
“与此同时,这对我来说是非常特别的一周,所以我之前无法真正进行那些讨论,而进行那些讨论很重要,但现在我认为那是一个已经翻篇的章节,我认为向前看将很重要。”
但是,尽管勒克莱尔试图让F1世界从上周日在墨西哥发生的事情中走出来,他同时也证实了他与汉密尔顿之间的竞争紧张关系,而瓦塞尔肯定要费一番功夫去处理。
当被问及他和汉密尔顿之间现在是否一切正常时,勒克莱尔说“是的,当然”,随后补充道:“当然会有紧张,当然我们都想跑在对方前面,有时我们不会把事情做对,有时在看待事情的方式上意见不合也没关系,但同时讨论这些会有很大帮助。”
“有时候你们意见不合,就必须找到共同点。”
目前看来,共同点已经找到了,至少在对外的公开层面是如此。
汉密尔顿在排位赛后对天空体育表示:“我和查尔斯坐下来谈了谈,我们把问题解决了,然后继续前进。”
“我们彼此仍然非常尊重,我很高兴我们聊了聊,现在事情翻篇了。
“我们一直像平常一样相处得很好,所以有时候在这种情形下,只需要谈一谈就行。
“双方都没有提出任何要求,只是……我们都提出了自己的观点,以及我们可以做得更好、相互支持的方面,是的,希望接下来的比赛能更好。”
所以看起来汉密尔顿和勒克莱尔现在正处于风暴后的平静之中,但不需要太多事情就能让那些紧张情绪再次浮现,并再次考验法拉利的耐心。
英文原文
As Lewis Hamilton and Fred Vasseur have faced a barrage of questions about Ferrari’s Mexican Grand Prix debacle in Brazil, and what needs to be done to ensure Hamilton and Charles Leclerc can actually race one another without hurting the team’s interests, Leclerc’s view has been basically absent from the debate.
He’s been understandably late to this discussion, owing to the birth of his first child this past week, and in his own words “the time where I've had Bianca in my arms, there wasn't much more or much else in my head, and that's been the case until probably Thursday night when I arrived and when it was time to speak with Fred and Lewis”.
There was a brief comment in the media pen after Friday practice, when Leclerc said he considered the matter “fully settled” following those internal talks, and that “I don’t think we should be speaking about it too much going forward”.
After qualifying on Saturday Leclerc had to field several more questions aimed at getting him to open up on this matter, and he pretty much stuck to the same script.
“From my perspective I was very straightforward of course and I think it was good to speak,” he said. “I think this is always needed after a moment like this.
“I think it took proportions that are way too big, but it has been around also for way too long.
“At the same time it was a very special week for me so I couldn't really have those discussions before and it was important to have those discussions, but now I consider that a closed chapter and I think it will be important to look ahead.”
But as much as Leclerc was trying to move the F1 world on from what happened last Sunday in Mexico, he also in the same breath confirmed the competitive tension between himself and Hamilton that Vasseur is surely going to have his work cut out trying to manage.
Leclerc said “yes of course” when asked if everything was now OK between him and Hamilton, before adding: “Of course there is tension, of course we want to finish ahead of each other and sometimes we are not going to do things right, and it's OK sometimes to disagree on the way you see things, but at the same time discussing about those helps a whole lot.
“Sometimes you disagree and you've got to find a common ground.”
For now it would seem common ground has been found, at least publicly facing.
Hamilton told Sky F1 after qualifying that “me and Charles, we sat and spoke and we squashed it, and we’re moving on.
“We still have a huge amount of respect for each other, and I’m glad we had a chat, and now we move on.
“We’ve been getting along just fine as normal, so sometimes in those scenarios it just takes having a conversation.
"There’s been no demands from either side, it’s just been…we’ve both given our points and areas that we can do better and support each other and yeah, hoping to have better races moving forwards.”
So it would seem Hamilton and Leclerc are now in the calm after the storm, but it won’t take much for those tensions to re-emerge and test Ferrari’s patience once more.
