Malaysian GP: McLaren says Button's pitstop mess was human error
馬來西亞站: McLaren車隊表示Button進站混亂是人為疏失

McLaren says the pitstop mess that ruined Jenson Button's Malaysian Grand
Prix was caused by human error.
McLaren表示壞了Button在馬來西亞站大事的進站混亂肇因於人為疏失.

Button was on course for at least fifth place when he prematurely pulled away
from his third pitstop.
Button在第三次進站過早出來之前的排名是第5位.

His car's right-front wheel had not been properly attached and he had to stop
in the pitlane and wait for his mechanics to pull him back.
他賽車的右前輪並未完全鎖好,而且(這使得)他必須停在pit線上並且等待車隊人員
將他的車拉回.

Button spent nearly 1m45s in the pits during the incident and fell to 14th
place. He recovered to 12th before retiring due to a severe tyre vibration.
Button在這次進站事件中於pit耗費了將近1分45秒的時間,並且(出站回賽道後)掉落至第
14位.他在因為嚴重的輪胎抖動(不曉得這麼翻是否正確 如有錯還請指正)退賽前
曾回到第12位.

Team boss Martin Whitmarsh said the pitstop traffic light system had been
triggered early and given Button a signal to go.
車隊領隊Whitmarsh表示車隊pitstop的信號燈控制系統(應該就是取代棒棒糖人功能的
那個燈吧?)作動太早並且給予Button可回到賽道上的燈號.

"For about 120 milliseconds, he had a green light, so with lightning-speed
reaction - just as he's paid to do - he pulled away," Whitmarsh said.
"在大約120毫秒之後,他(Button)收到了(回到賽道上的)綠色燈號,因此在迅雷不及掩耳
的反應--當他領會到這個訊號之後,他把車開走回到賽道上."Whitmarsh表示.

"Those lights are controlled by a whole number of circumstances, like
micro-switches and buttons that are around the car and a button was pressed
and then released for about 120 milliseconds.
"這些燈號就如同車輛周圍的微型開關和按鈕一般,透過許多的按鈕所控制,
而(信號燈控制系統)其中一個按鈕被按下去然後被放開,這中間大概是120毫秒的時間."

"These people are trying to do sub-two-second stops. There's a lot going on
in that time and a lot of pressure on people. Human error resulted in a green
light.
"這些車隊人員嘗試著做一個兩秒鐘以下的進站.在這種時間下有很多事情要做,而且車隊
人員也需要承受很大的壓力.人為疏失來自於綠色信號燈."

"It's one of those occasions when you wish your driver wasn't so quick off
the mark..."
"這個時刻是其中一個你希望你的車手別衝太快的時刻"

Asked by AUTOSPORT if McLaren may revise its procedures in light of the
incident, Whitmarsh felt major changes would not be necessary.
當AUTOSPORT問到McLaren車隊在這件事之後是否需要修改信號燈控制系統的亮燈程序時,
Whitmarsh認為大幅度的修改(程序)是沒有必要的.

"There are fail-safes in there," he said. "I think there are other things we
can do, but at the end of the day this wasn't a system failure."
"有自動防故障裝置"他(Whitmarsh)表示."我認為有許多其他的事是我們可以去做的,
但是在今天這件事情上我認為這並非是系統的問題."(換句話說就是沒必要改)
