阿隆索对F1未来含糊表态的背后
阿隆索在西班牙大奖赛前表示，关于自己未来的消息短期内不会明朗，2027年规则是否让车手重新成为核心将是关键因素。
费尔南多·阿隆索关于自己一级方程式未来的神秘言论背后隐藏着什么？
费尔南多·阿隆索在西班牙大奖赛之前表示，他的未来短期内不会明朗。这在很大程度上取决于2027年的规则，以及这些规则是否会让车手重新成为核心。
每周四，围场内的媒体日都以迈克·拉克和本田首席工程师折原慎太郎的圆桌会议拉开帷幕。除了关于动力单元可驾驶性和潜在升级的常规问题之外，每个比赛周末都会有一个话题反复出现：我们何时能听到关于费尔南多·阿隆索未来的官方消息？
拉克此前已在蒙扎表示车队并不着急，而阿隆索在马德里也重申了这一态度。当被问及何时能等到关于他未来的消息时，他只简短回答：“不会很快。”当被追问究竟是什么原因导致拖延时，阿隆索笑着回避了这个问题：“因为我觉得这样挺有意思的，不是吗？”
说点更严肃的，阿隆索强调，这主要取决于一个问题：明年的F1开起来会不会更有乐趣？
这位两届F1世界冠军毫不掩饰地表示，现行规则有很多不尽如人意之处。阿隆索把银石和斯帕的高速弯形容为“充电站”，并补充说，现行规则总是会奖励车手以更慢的速度过弯，这样车手就能在直道上拥有更多可用的能量。
这种状况在2027年会有多大改变，对阿隆索决定自己的未来至关重要，甚至超过阿斯顿·马丁的竞争力状况对他的影响。
“我认为关键在于弄清楚明年的规则会不会对比赛和驾驶方面产生影响，”他说。
"我认为现在的赛车，就像我说过很多次的那样，并不是最适合驾驶和享受的赛车。但我觉得明年会有一个朝正确方向迈出的一步。
"但与此同时，我需要思考明年最好的计划是什么，并与车队坐下来谈：是继续坐在方向盘后面，还是换个角色、在那里我能提供最大帮助。这将是我们需要一起做出的最重要的决定。"
阿隆索在马德里周四的新闻发布会上表示，近期不会就他的未来发表任何公告。
经过一场漫长的政治讨论，国际汽联、F1、制造商和车队达成一致，将分两步调整内燃机与电动动力之间的比例，到2028年达到60比40。2027年的比例将为58比42，部分将通过考察燃油流量来实现。
考虑到阿隆索在很大程度上将自己的未来与新规则联系在一起，一个显而易见的后续问题是：这位来自奥维耶多的车手目前如何看待2027年的计划：这些调整真的能让车手重新成为核心吗？还是说阿隆索——与马克斯·维斯塔潘的观点一致——认为当前这一代赛车对车手的操作反馈就是“麻木”的？
“我认为这是一个朝着正确方向迈出的一步。至于是否足够……这些赛车总是会在高速弯和直道末端充电电池才能获得最佳圈速，”阿隆索在回答Motorsport.com关于2027年规则的问题时说道。
“由于这些动力单元，在单圈的某个时刻你需要给电池充电，而你会选择在最能影响驾驶乐趣的地方充电，也就是高速弯和直道末端。这与任何车手的驾驶投入或挑战赛车极限都是相违背的。”
“不过，从某种程度上说，我仍然抱有一些希望：明年的规则还需要再次调整，现在这并不是最终版本。”
最后那句引用最为隐晦，但也无疑是最有意思的。它立刻引出了另一个问题：阿隆索是在暗示2027赛季开始之前还会有进一步改动，还是如果新规则在2027赛季中依然被证明不够好，才在赛季期间进行改动？
当Motorsport.com在马德里新闻发布会后向阿隆索提出这个问题时，他澄清说，他指的是前一种情况——换句话说，他仍然希望在下个赛季开始之前会有进一步的规则改动。
对阿隆索来说，比阿斯顿·马丁的竞争力更重要的是，规则到2027年是否会得到改善。
然而，当Motorsport.com向国际汽联问及此事时，对方表示目前并不知晓任何此类计划。就目前情况来看，下个赛季开始前没有计划进行进一步的改动。
然而，不能排除这一切都是政治博弈的一部分：阿隆索尚未对明年做出承诺，或许是想借此施加一些压力，促使整个系列赛有所改善。
如果阿隆索在一年中较晚的时候才宣布不再继续，这似乎并不合乎逻辑，因为这可能让阿斯顿·马丁陷入困境——更何况市场上目前可供选择的车手并不多。强队的所有席位都已敲定，而像卡洛斯·塞恩斯这样原本可能有趣的人选，如今也已离开了市场。
因此，阿隆索漫长的F1职业生涯再增加一年，似乎是非常合乎逻辑的，尽管目前还没有必要公开发表这一说法，尤其是如果阿斯顿·马丁已经在幕后知晓他的计划——克拉克已表示，他“很自在地”等待公开宣布。
尽管如此，阿隆索希望在2027赛季开始前做出进一步改变的愿望，目前看来也不太可能实现，无论这多么令人遗憾。为了重新找回那份乐趣，阿隆索不排除在其他赛车系列赛中开展新的尝试——例如达喀尔拉力赛和世界耐力锦标赛（WEC）——而且很可能与F1同时进行。当在马德里被问及这是否是一个现实的选择时，他直截了当地回答：“是的。”

What's behind Fernando Alonso's cryptic comments about his F1 future?
Fernando Alonso said ahead of the Spanish Grand Prix that there will be no clarity on his future anytime soon. Much depends on the rules for 2027 and whether they put the driver back at the centre of things
Every Thursday, the media day in the paddock begins with a roundtable session with Mike Krack and Honda's chief engineer Shintaro Orihara. Besides the usual questions about power unit driveability and potential upgrades, one topic returns every race weekend: when can we expect an announcement about Fernando Alonso’s future?
Krack already said in Monza that the team is in no rush, and Alonso reinforced that message in Madrid. Asked when news about his future could be expected, he simply replied: "Not soon." The follow-up question about what exactly is causing the delay was brushed off by Alonso with a laugh: "Because I think it’s nice, no?"
On a more serious note, Alonso stresses that it mainly depends on one question: will Formula 1 be more enjoyable to drive next year?
The two-time F1 world champion has made no secret of the fact that the current regulations leave a lot to be desired. Alonso described the high-speed corners at Silverstone and Spa as "charging stations" and added that the current rules will always reward going slower through a corner so that drivers have more energy available to deploy on the straights.
The extent to which that changes for 2027 is crucial to Alonso’s decision about his future, even more so than Aston Martin’s competitive picture.
"I think it’s a matter of understanding what impact the rules for next year will have, or not, on the racing and on the driving side of things," he said.
"I think the current cars, as I said many times, are not the best cars to drive and to enjoy. But next year there is a step in the right direction, I think.
"But at the same time, I need to think what is the best programme for next year and sit with the team: behind the wheel or in another role, where I will be helping the most. That will be the most important thing to decide together."
Alonso said during Thursday’s press conference in Madrid that no announcement regarding his future is expected any time soon
After a lengthy political discussion, the FIA, F1, manufacturers and teams have agreed to adjust the ratio between the internal combustion engine and electrical power in two steps towards a 60-40 split in 2028. For 2027, the ratio will be 58-42, partly achieved by looking at fuel flow.
Given that Alonso is largely linking his future to the regulations, the obvious follow-up question is how the man from Oviedo currently views the plans for 2027: can the adjustments really put the driver back at the centre of things, or does Alonso – in line with Max Verstappen – believe that the current generation of cars is simply "numb" to driver input?
"I think it’s a step in the right direction. If it’s enough… These cars will always reward to charge the batteries in the highest-speed corners and at the end of the straights, because that’s the optimal lap time," Alonso said when asked about the 2027 regulations by Motorsport.com.
"Because of these power units, at one point in the lap you need to charge the batteries, and you will charge the batteries in the most problematic places for fun. It will be in the high-speed corners and at the end of the straights. That is against any driver input or pushing the limits of the car.
"But, in a way, I still have some hope that next year’s rules will still have to be tweaked again, that this is not the final version."
That final quote is the most cryptic, but also by far the most interesting. It immediately raises another question: is Alonso hinting at further changes before the start of the 2027 season, or during 2027 if the new product still proves not to be good enough?
When Motorsport.com approached Alonso after the press conference in Madrid to ask him that question, he clarified that he meant the former option – in other words, that he still hopes for further changes before the start of next season.
Even more important to Alonso than how competitive Aston Martin will be, is whether the rules will improve by 2027
However, when asked by Motorsport.com, the FIA says it is currently not aware of any such plans. As things stand, no further changes are planned for the start of next season.
It cannot be ruled out, however, that all of this is part of the political game, and that by not yet committing himself for next year, Alonso can exert some pressure to try and improve the series as a whole.
For Alonso to announce relatively late in the year that he will not continue would not seem logical, as it could put Aston Martin in a difficult position – all the more so because there are not many drivers still available on the market. All the seats at the top teams are locked in, while potentially interesting options such as Carlos Sainz are now off the market as well.
It therefore seems more than logical that Alonso will add another year to his long F1 career, although there is no need to say so publicly just yet, especially if Aston Martin is already aware of his plans behind the scenes – with Krack having indicated that he is "comfortable" waiting for the public announcement.
Nevertheless, it currently does not seem particularly likely either that Alonso’s wish for further changes before the start of 2027 will be granted, however unfortunate that may be. In order to still find that enjoyment, Alonso does not rule out new ventures into other racing series – such as Dakar and WEC – most likely in combination with F1. Asked in Madrid whether that is a realistic option, the straightforward answer was: "Yes."
