前F1车手兼F1电视评论员乔利恩·帕尔默认为,法拉利已经错过了支持刘易斯·汉密尔顿争夺总冠军的窗口期,他认为这家马拉内罗车队已经让夺冠希望悄然溜走。
这支由弗雷德·瓦塞尔(Fred Vasseur)领衔的车队在遭遇蒙扎主场的灾难性比赛后参加了西班牙大奖赛。汉密尔顿和队友夏尔·勒克莱尔分别以第三和第四位发车,在首圈1号弯发生碰撞,随后这位摩纳哥车手在第二圈撞车退赛。
汉密尔顿目前在车手积分榜上以191分排名第三,落后总冠军领跑者安东内利 76分,而勒克莱尔以155分排名第五。
一段时间以来,一直有人呼吁法拉利支持一名一号车手,但帕尔默声称,现在在总冠军争夺战中已经太迟了。
“嗯,我觉得已经太迟了,”帕尔默在F1 TV的《Weekend Warm-Up》节目中被问到是否是时候让法拉利在冠军争夺中支持汉密尔顿时说道。
“机会已经错过了。我觉得他们正在远离总冠军的争夺。他们不会成功的。我认为他们的速度不够快。”

“车手们太专注于互相击败了,Lewis刚才还在说他们需要开始合作。现在是第14站。回想中国站,他们互相碰撞,还有一点接触。在争夺领奖台时他们完全是在朝对方猛冲,而梅赛德斯却趁机溜走了。”
“你会想,好吧,他们那天没有速度击败梅赛德斯,看他们较量还挺有趣,他们确实互相拼得很凶。整个赛季都是如此,但我想不出有哪一次他们真正进行过合作。”
“想想Lewis在巴塞罗那夺冠时Charles根本不具备争夺条件,而Charles在银石夺冠时Lewis起跑抢跳,也谈不上真正有争夺。”
"所以当他们拥有一辆竞争力较差的赛车时,我确实觉得他们很可能不得不优先照顾某一位车手,或者至少确保他们在任何一场比赛中都能协同作战。
"在蒙扎从第三和第四位发车,身后有一辆梅赛德斯,两辆迈凯伦也在后面,马克斯·维斯塔潘同样在后方,你会想,好吧,你们其实有一个绝佳的机会在主场迎战对手。结果他们立刻就开始互相较劲了。"

Ferrari "too late" to prioritise Lewis Hamilton in F1 title fight, says Jolyon Palmer
Jolyon Palmer believes Ferrari has waited too long to prioritise Lewis Hamilton in the Formula 1 title fight
Former Formula 1 driver and F1 TV pundit Jolyon Palmer believes Ferrari has missed its window to prioritise Lewis Hamilton's championship bid, arguing that the Maranello outfit has already allowed its title hopes to slip away.
The Fred Vasseur-led team arrived at the Spanish Grand Prix on the back of a disastrous home race at Monza. Starting third and fourth, Hamilton and team-mate Charles Leclerc clashed at Turn 1 on the opening lap before the Monegasque driver crashed out on the second lap.
Hamilton currently sits third in the drivers' standings with 191 points, 76 points behind championship leader Kimi Antonelli, while Leclerc is fifth with 155 points.
There have been calls for Ferrari to back a number one driver for some time, but Palmer claims it is now too late in the championship fight.
"Well, I feel like it's too late," Palmer said during the F1 TV Weekend Warm-Up show when asked if it is time for Ferrari to back Hamilton in the title fight.
"The ship has sailed. I feel like they're drifting away from championship contention. They're not going to make it. I don't think they're quick enough.

"And the drivers are so focused on beating each other that Lewis is talking there about how they need to start working together. We're on round 14. I think back to China and they were knocking into each other, and there was a little bit of contact. They were absolutely swinging for each other for a podium while the Mercedes escaped.
"You thought, OK, they don't have the pace to beat Mercedes on that day and it was fun to watch, and they do race each other really hard. They have done all season, but I can't think of a single time where they've actually worked together.
"Think of Lewis's win and Charles wasn't in contention in Barcelona, and Charles's win and Lewis had jumped the start and wasn't really in contention at Silverstone.
"So when they have an inferior car, I do feel like they had to probably prioritise a driver, if not at least make sure that they're working together in any given race.
"Starting third and fourth at Monza with one Mercedes at the back, both McLarens behind them, Max Verstappen behind as well, you're thinking, OK, you've actually got a great chance to take the fight on your home turf. And they immediately started having a go with each other."
