英国恩斯通(美联社)——一级方程式赛车手弗兰科·科拉平托呼吁他的粉丝停止在社交媒体上攻击其他车手及阿尔派车队工作人员的行为,并表示这些攻击正在阻碍他的职业生涯发展。
自这位阿根廷车手于2024年首次亮相F1以来,其粉丝在社交媒体上向那些在赛道上与他发生冲突的车手发送负面甚至辱骂性评论,其中就包括冠军兰多·诺里斯,以及曾对科拉平托做出处罚的国际汽联赛事干事。
Alpine车队今年也出面谴责网络辱骂行为,并否认有关其试图“搞破坏”科拉平托、以偏袒队友皮埃尔·加斯利的说法。
“我知道,当我表现出色、拿到积分时,无论对我个人还是对整个车队,你都会感到非常自豪,对此我将永远心怀感激,”科拉平托周三晚间在Instagram上发布的一段视频中说道。
但有时我们会越界,非但没有支持我,反而开始批评,甚至攻击其他车手、其他同事、我的队友、我的技师、我的工程师,以及那些我日复一日共事的人。
我知道你们以为是在为我辩护,但你们实际上在做相反的事。你们既帮不了我,也帮不了我的未来,我真心希望你们明白,这正是我们必须共同改变的地方。
2024年,科拉平托代表威廉姆斯车队完成首秀,成为痴迷赛车的阿根廷23年来首位F1车手。
次年,他转投阿尔派车队,起初担任储备车手,随后在车队解雇杰克·杜汉后获得晋升。杜汉后来抱怨称,自己在那段时间曾收到死亡威胁。
科拉平托今年迎来了他职业生涯中最成功的一个赛季,目前在积分榜上排名第12位,并取得了个人职业生涯最佳的单场第六名成绩。阿尔派车队已于八月确认,他的合同将延长至下个赛季。
Since the Argentine drivers F1 debut in 2024, fans have sent negative and sometimes abusive comments on social media targeting drivers who clashed with him on the track. Among them were champion Lando Norris and FIA race stewards who penalized Colapinto.
Alpine also stepped in this year to condemn online abuse and deny claims it was trying to sabotage Colapinto to favor teammate Pierre Gasly.
I know it makes you feel very proud when things go well for me, when I score points, for me and for the whole team, and Ill always be very grateful for that, Colapinto said in a video on Instagram late Wednesday.
But there are times when we go over the line, when instead of supporting me we end up criticizing, we end up attacking other drivers, other colleagues, my teammates, my mechanics, my engineers, people I work with day in and day out.
I know youre thinking that youre defending me, but youre actually doing the opposite. You dont help me or my future, and I really want you to understand that this is what we have to change, all of us together.
Colapinto became racing-mad Argentinas first F1 driver in 23 years when he made his debut in 2024 with Williams.
He moved to Alpine the following year, initially as a reserve, then was promoted when the team fired Jack Doohan, who later complained hed received death threats around that time.
Colapinto is having his most successful season this year and is 12th in the standings, as well as picking up a best career race finish of sixth. Alpine confirmed in August his contract was being extended for next season.
