汉密尔顿呼吁法拉利明确队内规则,莱克勒克蒙扎碰撞引争议
意大利大奖赛上,莱克勒克在首圈将队友汉密尔顿撞出赛道,随后又在第二圈高速撞上帕拉波利卡护墙引发红旗。七届世界冠军汉密尔顿赛后表示,法拉利缺乏清晰的队内交战规则导致车队损失了积分。
刘易斯·汉密尔顿在夏尔·勒克莱尔于蒙扎发生碰撞后,呼吁法拉利制定更清晰的车队规则
这位七届世界冠军表示,法拉利缺乏明确的“交战规则”使其付出了丢分的代价,此前在蒙扎他与队友夏尔·勒克莱尔再次发生了艰难的队友内斗
意大利大奖赛可能是队友之间酝酿冲突的最糟糕场地,但这样的事情恰恰发生在蒙扎:刘易斯·汉密尔顿最终仅名列第六,落后很远的距离,因为夏尔·勒克莱尔在首圈将他挤进了砂石缓冲区
勒克莱尔随后在第二圈末段高速冲出帕拉波利卡弯撞上护墙,引发了红旗。这个周末的结果是,汉密尔顿在车手积分榜争夺中进一步落后于梅赛德斯车队的队友基米·安东内利和乔治·拉塞尔,而法拉利在车队积分榜上落后梅赛德斯122分。
安东内利现在领先拉塞尔66分,领先汉密尔顿76分,而勒克莱尔位列第五,落后安东内利112分。
汉密尔顿今年多次批评法拉利的执行问题,尤其是在车手采用不同策略的情况下处理车队指令的时候。在荷兰大奖赛上,他感觉一个领奖台位置被白白浪费了,因为车队在如何让勒克莱尔给他让路的问题上显得犹豫不决,而当时汉密尔顿凭借更新的轮胎跑得更快。
汉密尔顿显然认为他本应被优先考虑,因为他在车手总冠军榜上比勒克莱尔更接近梅赛德斯车手,但这个机会已经溜走了。
汉密尔顿在蒙扎获得第六名后,坦率地谈到了他的总冠军前景。
"我认为从今天开始,我们在积分上已经损失了太多,被他们[梅赛德斯]甩开了很多,"他告诉包括Motorsport.com在内的媒体,地点在蒙扎。
"现在才做那些决定已经太晚了。已经晚了很多很多个星期。
"我所能做的就是尽力出场。我明天早上会起床,然后全力以赴。归根结底,今天我感到非常沮丧,为了那些今天到场支持我们的车迷(tifosi)。
"还有工厂里的伙计们,他们真的真的在倾尽全力。你知道昨天我们的执行确实不太好。我想今天也是一样。
"这很艰难。我已经拼尽全力,但有时候就是不够。你需要其他所有条件都到位才行。
法拉利在蒙扎可能没有一辆足以争夺绝对胜利的快车,但它把最大化赛车潜力这项工作变得毫无必要的困难。在整个排位赛中,车队一直难以协调车手之间互相提供尾流——在这条拥有众多直道的赛道上这一点至关重要——以至于汉密尔顿在第二节排位赛中差点被淘汰。
在他第一次第三节排位赛的飞驰圈中,汉密尔顿出维修区的时机太晚,所以他很难从前方赛车那里获得尾流。他在第二次飞驰圈时从勒克莱尔那里得到了牵引,并且由于皮亚斯特里因阻挡被处罚,他们两人被提升至第三和第四,汉密尔顿在发车排位上刚好排在他的队友身后。
汉密尔顿在一号弯的内线上看起来车头已经领先,到二号弯时他仍然处于领先位置,但勒克莱尔把他挤宽,压上了砂石区。勒克莱尔守住了第三名,而汉密尔顿则跌落到了第十名。
比赛结束后,勒克莱尔将这一事件定性为双方共同的责任,他说:“我们都开得太过了”。但汉密尔顿的看法不同——尽管进入这个减速弯第一部分的内侧线路,往往会让车手在接下来的左弯中处于外侧线路,从而容易引发像这样的碰撞。
绕行碎石路让汉密尔顿掉到了第10位
“在2号弯我在前面。到弯心时,我也在前面。这里面没有什么‘我们’。”
“听着,我不搞肮脏的赛车。我一直都干净、公平地比赛,总是留出空间。”
“我加入车队后一直尽量尊重空间,绝对没有把车队置于危险之中。我坚持这一点,我能谈的只是我这一边的情况。你必须去问弗雷德(瓦塞尔,车队领队)关于另一边的情况以及那里做出的决定。
“归根结底,决定来自最上层。决定是一层层传下来的,从弗雷德开始。
“你能说的有限,能在山顶上呐喊和推动的也有限。昨天我说过,我们必须审视我们的沟通方式。如果我们继续走同样的路,就会得到同样的结果。
“我们一直在得到同样的结果。我们必须做出改变,因为这对我们前进没有帮助。我认为他们对此是愿意接受的,我们会在接下来的时间里——可能不是下周,但尤其是下一场比赛之后——私下讨论,尝试从流程上做出改变,确保同样的事情不再发生。
“我认为工厂里的伙计们做得非常出色。我们的执行没有做到应有的干净利落,显然不如现在其他车队。但我们在赛季中的某些阶段是做到过的。”
对于法拉利来说,执行车队指令是一件棘手的事情,这与勒克莱尔在车队内部的地位有关。据了解,他的管理团队在瓦塞尔的任命过程中发挥了重要作用,当时在比诺托担任领队期间,他们说服了高层,让高层相信必须进行体制变革。
但如果队友之间互相抢分,损失可能不仅限于一场比赛,还会波及到车手总冠军。车队总冠军奖杯对车迷来说可能没那么重要,但该锦标赛的排名决定了车队在商业收入中的分成。因此,缺乏纪律会直接影响财务报表。
“我认为这归结于交战规则,”汉密尔顿说。
“当我在梅赛德斯的时候,我们有一份书面的交战规则。我们从来没有真正闹得太僵。也许我和尼科(罗斯伯格)之间有过几次冲突时刻。但大多数时候情况都是好的。”

Lewis Hamilton calls for clearer Ferrari team rules after Charles Leclerc Monza clash
The seven-time champion says Ferrari’s lack of clear “rules of engagement” has cost it points after another difficult team-mate battle with Charles Leclerc at Monza
The Italian Grand Prix is probably the worst venue for a spat to brew up between team-mates but that is what happened at Monza as Lewis Hamilton finished a distant sixth after Charles Leclerc barged him into the gravel on the opening lap.
Leclerc then spun off into the Parabolica barrier at high speed at the end of the second lap, inducing a red flag. The outcome of the weekend was that Hamilton lost more ground to Mercedes team-mates Kimi Antonelli and George Russell in the title race, while Ferrari slipped 122 points behind Mercedes in the constructors' standings.
Antonelli is now 66 points ahead of Russell and 76 clear of Hamilton, while Leclerc lies fifth, 112 points adrift of Antonelli.
Hamilton has been critical of Ferrari's execution on several occasions this year, especially when dealing with team orders in scenarios where the drivers are on different strategies. In the Dutch GP, he felt a podium finish was left on the table when the team appeared to dither over how to get Leclerc out of his way at a point where Hamilton was running faster on fresher tyres.
Hamilton clearly feels that he should have been prioritised, given he is closer to the Mercedes drivers than Leclerc in the drivers' championship, but the opportunity has slipped away.
Hamilton spoke frankly about his championship prospects after finishing sixth in Monza
"I think from today, we've just lost so much ground to them [Mercedes] on points," he told media including Motorsport.com at Monza.
"It's far too late for those decisions to come. It's many, many weeks too late.
"All I can do is just try and turn up. I'll get up tomorrow morning and I'll give it my best. Ultimately today, I feel massively gutted for the tifosi, who showed up for us today.
"The guys back at the factory, who really, really are giving it everything. You know yesterday we didn't really execute that well. I think the same today.
"It's tough. I'm giving it everything I can, but sometimes it's just not enough. You need all the other stuff to come together.
Ferrari might not have had a car quick enough to challenge for outright victory at Monza, but it made the job of maximising it potential needlessly difficult. Throughout qualifying it struggled to orchestrate its drivers to provide a slipstream for one another – essential at this circuit, given the number of straights – to the point where Hamilton was almost eliminated in Q2.
In his first Q3 run, Hamilton was sent out of the pits late, so he struggled to pick up a slipstream from the cars ahead. He did obtain a tow from Leclerc on his second run and lined up just behind his team-mate on the grid as they were promoted to third and fourth by Oscar Piastri's impeding penalty.
Hamilton appeared to get his nose ahead on the inside line into Turn 1, then was still ahead at Turn 2 only for Leclerc to push him wide, onto the gravel. Leclerc held on to third while Hamilton dropped to 10th.
After the race, Leclerc framed the incident in terms of mutual responsibility, saying, "we went too far". But Hamilton saw otherwise – although taking the inside line into the first part of this chicane tends to put the driver on the outside line into the left-hander that follows, inviting collisions such as this.
Diversion via the gravel dropped Hamilton to P10
"I was ahead in Turn 2. By the apex, I was ahead. There was no 'we' in it.
"Look, I don't race dirty. I've always raced clean and fairly and always left space.
"I've come into the team and tried to be respectful of space and definitely not put the team in jeopardy. I stand by that and all I can talk about is on my side. You have to speak to Fred [Vasseur, team principal] about the other side and decisions that are taken there.
"Ultimately it comes from the top. It trickles down, decisions. It starts with Fred.
"There's only so much you can say, so much you can push and shout from the mountain top. Yesterday, I said we've got to look at how we communicate. If we continue to travel the same path, we get the same result.
"We keep getting the same result. We've got to change things because it's not helping us move forward. I think they're receptive to it and we'll take it offline over the next, probably not next week, but particularly after the next race, to try and look at how we can procedurally make things different so that the same thing can't happen.
"I think the guys in the factory are doing a really great job. We're not executing as cleanly as well as we can. Easily not as well as now the other teams are. But we were at some points in the season."
Executing team orders is a challenging proposition for Ferrari, given Leclerc's status within the organisation. It's understood that his management was instrumental in Vasseur's appointment, having convinced senior management that regime change was required when Mattia Binotto was team principal.
But if team-mates take points off one another, the damage can extend beyond the race to the drivers' title. The constructors' trophy may be less important to fans, but the order of that championship determines the team's share of the commercial revenues. Indiscipline can therefore have a direct effect on the balance sheet.
"I think it comes down to rules of engagement," said Hamilton.
"When I was at Mercedes, we had a written rule of engagement. We never really had it too bad. Maybe moments with me and Nico [Rosberg] a couple of times. But more often than not it was good.
