加斯利在阿塞拜疆大奖赛被队友科拉平托撞出后感到“崩溃”
阿塞拜疆大奖赛重启时,阿尔派车手加斯利被队友科拉平托撞出比赛,他直言“我不敢相信,这么多积分没了”。此次碰撞使阿尔派在与小红牛的争夺中损失关键积分。
皮埃尔·加斯利感到“被压垮了”,因为弗朗哥·科拉平托在阿塞拜疆大奖赛上把他撞出了比赛。

“我简直不敢相信,这么多积分就这么没了……”
皮埃尔·加斯利对F1阿塞拜疆大奖赛重启时发生的连环相撞事故的最初反应说明了一切。
加斯利在整个比赛中一直领跑中游集团,当亚历山大·阿尔本撞车引发的安全车干预结束时他排在第七位,队友弗兰科·科拉平托位居第十,而对手小红牛的车手则落在第十二和第十四位。
然而,科拉平托在弯道内侧犯下了极其严重的锁死失误,这位阿根廷车手在1号弯撞上了自己的队友,把队友的赛车撞向兰多·诺里斯的迈凯伦——三名车手全部退赛。
巧合的是,小红牛的两辆赛车也在同一时刻发生了碰撞,但阿维德·林德布拉德被干事认定没有任何过错,并最终在终点线上抢下第七名。因此这造成了13分的差距波动——在车队积分榜上,阿尔派目前落后排名第五的对手15分,而不是根据第35圈时的排位本可能只落后2分。
“在这样一个如此强势的周末、如此强势的比赛之后,我们对这个结果都非常失望,”加斯利说。“我感觉赛车的状态非常好。速度几乎和刘易斯一样快,和兰多也一样。”就在第30圈阿尔本撞车退赛之前,加斯利落后汉密尔顿6秒、落后诺里斯3秒,领先基米·安东内利3秒、领先科拉平托13秒。
“所以,我一直和他保持着三秒的差距,直到[诺里斯]在一号弯锁死轮胎,之后我们领先身后的弗兰科有15秒的优势。我是说,刚才发生的事情仍然让人难以消化。”

尽管他在蒙扎夺得了杆位,加斯利认为阿尔派的A526在正赛条件下从未有过如此强的竞争力。
“说实话,我觉得这是我们今年到目前为止最好的正赛赛车,从某种意义上说这是积极的,”他说。“但与此同时,当你获得这些拿大分数的机会时,你必须把握住。遗憾的是,今天没有做到。”
当被问及对科拉平托的道歉是否感到满意时,这位法国车手沉默了几秒钟。
“怎么说呢,我很失望,”他最终回答道。“如果你问我,我对今天的表现并不满意。”
加斯利不愿指责领跑的乔治·拉塞尔在重新发车时造成的混乱,而是更倾向于指出一级方程式的新动力单元可能对这位梅赛德斯车手的做法产生了影响。
“乔治想怎么做就怎么做,这取决于我们自己……”他开始说道。“显然当时我们的车挤得很紧,但以我们现在的发动机以及电池、能量回收等方面的限制,你在能做什么这件事上其实并没有太多自由。所以我对他[在重新发车时拖得比较晚]并不感到惊讶。”
加斯利现在打算通过“好好睡上一觉”和“在家里过一个周日”来调整状态,争取最早在下周的马来西亚大奖赛上实现反弹。

Pierre Gasly feeling “crushed” after Franco Colapinto took him out of Azerbaijan GP
Alpine lost crucial points in its battle against Racing Bulls as its drivers crashed into each other in Baku
“I cannot believe it, so many points gone...”
Pierre Gasly’s initial reaction to the pile-up that occurred at the restart of Formula 1’s Azerbaijan Grand Prix said it all.
Gasly led the midfield throughout the race and was seventh when the safety car intervention caused by Alexander Albon’s crash ended, with team-mate Franco Colapinto 10th, while the rival Racing Bulls were down in 12th and 14th.
However, a monumental lock-up from Colapinto on the inside saw the Argentinian careen into his team-mate in Turn 1, sending the sister car into Lando Norris’ McLaren – all three drivers retired from the race.
As it happens, the Racing Bulls collided at the same time, but Arvid Lindblad was cleared of any wrongdoing by the stewards and went on to snatch seventh place on the finish line. That was therefore a 13-point swing – Alpine is 15 points down on its fifth-placed opponent in the constructors’ championship, instead of a potential two based on the lap-35 classification.
“We're all very disappointed with the outcome after such a strong weekend, strong race,” Gasly said. “I was feeling very good with the car. The pace was almost as good as Lewis and same as Lando.” Shortly before Albon crashed out on lap 30, Gasly was six seconds behind Hamilton and three adrift of Norris, leading Kimi Antonelli by three and Colapinto by 13.
“So, keeping up the three-second gap with him until [Norris] locked up in Turn 1, then we had a 15-second margin with Franco behind. I mean, it's still difficult to process what just happened.”

Although he took pole position in Monza, Gasly believes Alpine’s A526 had never been so competitive in race conditions.
“To be fair, I think that's the best race car we've had so far this year, which in a way is positive,” he said. “At the same time, it's like, when you get these chances to score big points, you've got to make it happen. And sadly it didn't happen today.”
Asked if he was happy with Colapinto’s apology, the Frenchman remained speechless for a few seconds.
“I mean, crushed,” he ended up replying. “If you ask me, I'm not happy about today.
Gasly didn’t want to blame race leader George Russell for the mess at the restart, preferring to point out how F1’s new power units may have contributed to the Mercedes driver’s approach.
“George does whatever he wants to do, and it's up to us to...” he began. “Obviously we were quite bunched up, but with the engines we have and the limitations we have with battery, harvest, etc., you're not really that free in what you can do. So I wasn't really surprised for him to [leave the restart quite late].”
Gasly will now aim at “a good night’s sleep” and “a Sunday at home” to bounce back as early as next weekend in Malaysia.
