Ferrari: There is a point at which we will introduce team orders

Ferrari sporting director Laurent Mekies has said team orders will likely be forthcoming in the second half of the season.

查尔斯·莱克莱克（Charles Leclerc）继续领导法拉利冠军挑战赛，因为他在车手的冠军中排名第二，落后红牛的马克斯·维尔斯彭（Max Verstappen）80分，卡洛斯·塞恩兹（Carlos Sainz）的赛季中期更强，这意味着西班牙人仅比他的队友落后22分。

Up to now, Ferrari have not tried to introduce team orders, allowing Sainz to have a fair crack at recovering from his poor start to the season. This saw Ferrari almost throw away victory at Silverstone, with Sainz holding up the evidently quicker Leclerc and allowing them to come under pressure from the Mercedes of刘易斯·汉密尔顿.

但是，当红牛在冠军争夺战中显然将自己的体重抛在后面时，梅基斯说，当正确的那一刻，团队命令将在法拉利介绍。

“I think it is more discussed outside Ferrari than inside Ferrari,”he told media over the Hungarian Grand Prixweekend.

“But more seriously, again, we have always been very clear. We target to have the best result for the team. Ferrari comes first.

“Then, of course, there will be a point when we will need to focus more on a driver compared to the other one if the championship position is requiring. So it does not mean waiting for a mathematical difference, but it means being at the point of the season when you think it is the right thing to do.”

他们会喜欢哪个司机？

尽管本赛季莱克莱尔克（Leclerc）的整体节奏表现出了更大的步伐，但塞恩兹（Sainz）的势头可能会使法拉利（Ferrari）停下来思考 - 尤其是考虑到西班牙人明显愿意挑战团队策略的电话。

After Leclerc threw away a likely victory in France due to a mistake while leading, Mekies said Ferrari have no desire to try reigning in Leclerc.

他说：“他今年再次表现出如此出色的速度，以至于您不想去触摸这一方面。”

“查尔斯不需要我们作为一名出色的赛车司机理解，他需要在接近极限的角度去。他是其中的大师，就像我们所有人一样，可能会发生错误。我认为我们不看单个错误，我们看罢工率。我们研究您与您做得不好的事情相比，您能够做一些事情，而且我认为他今年的罢工率令人印象深刻，我们不希望他改变任何事情。”

Mekies then spoke about Sainz, detailing the progress he has made during the year.

“卡洛斯has had three extremely strong weekends –银石, Austria, France. We are very happy with that,” he said.

“It did not show up so much in the final race classifications besides Silverstone because we had other things to deal with. But you are very right in saying he has made great progress since the start of the season. We made no secret at the beginning of the year that naturally the car was not suiting him very well.

“我们必须与他的工程师一起与他一起工作，与他的工程师一起工作，以确保我们可以给他一些他更舒服的东西。这些事情需要时间。慢慢地，似乎我们正朝着正确的方向发展，这是团队和我们互动方式的另一个很好的信号。所以我认为那是它的位置。”

但是Mekies否认塞恩兹的最新表格使他更有可能成为团队负责人。

“这是否使某人成为领导者？不，不是，这不是成为领导者的原因。”他说。

“We know we have two very good drivers. We treat them in a way that we can maximise our championship positions and we want them as fast as they can possibly be.”

Mekies: Leclerc is not more emotional than Sainz

With Leclerc having a reputation for being publicly self-critical and allowing his frustrations to be heard over team radio, this is in stark contrast to the more aggressive radio calls from Sainz.

With question marks over Leclerc’s mental fortitude in a title battle,法国的错误证明了在下面的压力下红牛梅基斯（Mekies）否认了梅基斯（Mekies）否认摩尼克（Monegasque）比他的队友更倾向于通过情感分散注意力。

“I would not say so, really,” he said.

“有了这两个家伙，我们的高潮都非常好，本赛季我们的低点非常痛苦，从这两个方向上，当他们回到车库时，当他们看了发生的事情时，他们看上去时通过数据，他们能够重置15分钟后几乎处于学习模式。

“So you need to separate that from maybe what you can hear on the radio in the heat of the moment when they are racing with a high heart rate. I think it’s two different things. But when they get out of the car and they analyse everything, after an hour they will be back into the analysis mode and show little emotion in a negative way, no negative emotions, but instead you can see it drives them to even more motivation. ”
