BBC F1 Gossip Column 火星車的疑慮 - 一級方程式賽車 Formula One

星期五的BBC F1小道消息
(這只是BBC的消息摘要，對於各項消息想深入了解的可以進入下方的新聞來源網頁, 該網頁各小道消息下方都有提供文章連結)


(一) Lewis Hamilton has described the suggestion that he may benefit from
having more support in the wake of disappointing races as "rubbish".


Hamilton說那些談著
如果他在這些令人失望的比賽，
獲得更多來自經紀人的支持，
對他是有好處的說法
"跟垃圾一樣"。



(二) Is the Red Bull floor illegal? Experts recognised some suspicious
scratch-marks on the front-part of the undertray, when Mark Webber's car was
lifted by a crane in Monza. Seems like the first 30cm of the floor were
dragging on the asphalt and could be flexible. Which is not allowed. The FIA
tests the flexibility behind that mark. Opponents are also suspicious because
of Red Bull's spendings. Mercedes team boss Ross Brawn said: "Production costs
for three sets of front wings, plus bodywork and a new floor are about
800,000 Euros. Plus wind tunnel costs. It would be irresponsible for us to
sacrifice that kind of money for just one race."


Red Bull的車底板是否不合法呢?
當Mark Webber的車在Monza被起重機抬起來的時候，
專家們發現底盤前段有一些可疑的刮痕。

底板的前段30公分可能因為有彈性而有著類似在柏油路上被拖曳的痕跡，
而這是不被允許的。
FIA的彈性測試是針對這些刮痕之後的地方。

對手們同時也懷疑Red Bull的開銷狀況。

Mercedes老闆Ross Brawn說:
"三套鼻翼，
外加車體和一個新底盤的製造成本約是八十萬歐元。
還要加上風洞成本。對我們來說為了一場比賽消耗掉多這麼錢很不可思議。"



(三) Sebastian Vettel has said he wants to wrap up back-to-back titles
with a win at the Japanese Grand Prix even though he needs just a point and
therefore to finish 10th to be crowned world champion on Sunday.


Sebastian Vettel說即使他只需要得到第十名拿到一分，
即可在星期天成為世界冠軍，
他還是想要藉由贏得日本大賽的方式衛冕。



(四) Seven-time world champion Michael Schumacher believes Vettel will
take as much pleasure from winning the championship well before the end of
the season as he did from clinching it at the finale last year.


七屆世界冠軍Michael Schumacher相信Vettel在賽季結束前提早拿到車手冠軍的喜悅將不
會比去年鬥到最後一站遜色。



(五) Force India chairman Vijay Mallya has no plans to sell the team and
has pledged a long-term commitment ahead of the country's maiden grand prix
later this month.


Force India主席Vijay Mallya沒有賣掉車隊的計畫，
而且他在這個月稍後將舉辦的主場比賽之前發出了長期承諾的誓言。



(六) Nico Rosberg says he is focusing on building a strong future at
Mercedes despite the German emerging as a major player in the driver market
thanks to Jenson Button committing himself to McLaren.


僅管由於Jenson Button這麼早與McLaren簽了約，
讓Nico Rosberg成了車手市場的大魚，
但Nico說他正專注於在Mercedes建立一個強健的未來。
