由於在義大利GP正賽時的碰撞,Gasly 認為 Alonso 自從宣布將離開 F1 界後,變得「更
具侵略性」。

在稍早的排位賽,Alonso 曾和 Magnussen 產生衝突。而在正賽時,又和 Gasly 發生激
烈的攻防。
Alonso 將在本季結束後離開 F1 這件事,Gasly 認為可能影響到兩屆世界冠軍車手的駕
駛風格,並藉由搭載 Honda 動力的 Toro Rosso 來發洩對於日本製造商在 McLaren 時期
的不滿。
「我想我可以確定,自從 Alonso 知道他明年將不會待在 F1 後,他的行徑有一點不一樣
。看起來他變得比過去更具侵略性。」Gasly 表示。
「而在今天,Alonso 的行為顯然並不是很公平。我們知道,當我們在競爭時,要留點空
間給對手,但今天的 Alonso 並沒有這麼做。」
「儘管我們知道他並不是很喜歡我們,因為我們有 Honda 引擎。」
這起事故(轉播單位並沒有播放),發生於安全車回去後的比賽恢復正常期間,當時 Gasly
正企圖超越 Alonso,以取得第 10 名的席次。
但 Gasly 卻在第一個 chicane 被迫擠出賽道,因此導致賽車底盤的受損,失去大量的下
壓力。
「基本上,我們在安全車回去後,是並排進 1 號彎的,我走到外側,但他完全將我推出
賽道外了。我試著要留在賽道上,但他沒有給我任何空間,以致於我要躍過減速板,之後
又被他擦碰到,所以我的賽車底板右側基本上都受損了。」
「因為都壞在右側,整個平衡都跑掉了。當前後都沒車時,就已經失去不少下壓力了,跟
在其他車後,又會損失更多下壓力,所以不可能接近前車。這是一個很長很長的星期天。
」
Gasly 終場取得第15位的成績,Alonso 則是遭遇到電子系統故障而退賽。
被問到是否會將這起事故呈報給 Charlie Whiting,Gasly 表示:「不會,因為這無法改
變任何結果。」
「或許待會或是在新加坡有遇到時,我會去找 Fernando。但他們給他判罰,也不會改變
比賽的結果。」

Alonso "even more aggressive" after deciding F1 exit - Gasly
原文:
Pierre Gasly has criticised Fernando Alonso after their clash in the Italian G
rand Prix, claiming that the Spaniard has become “even more aggressive” sinc
e announcing his Formula 1 exit.
Alonso drew the ire of Kevin Magnussen earlier in the weekend by trying to pas
s the Dane during a crucial moment in qualifying – and then left Gasly incens
ed with a robust defence in the race.
The Spaniard will leave F1 at the end of the season, and Gasly claimed this ha
s impacted the two-time champion's driving, while also suggesting Alonso had a
bone to pick with the Honda-powered Toro Rosso cars after his torrid stint wo
rking with the Japanese engine manufacturer at McLaren.
“I think for sure his approach is a bit different because he knows he's not g
oing to be in Formula 1 next year,” Gasly said. “Looks like he's even more a
ggressive than he used to be.
“And yeah, for me today what he did wasn't fair, and we know that if you are
alongside you need to give the space of one car, and today he didn't.
“I know he doesn't like us because we have the Honda engine, but nevertheless
.”
The incident, which was not shown in full on the TV feed, took place after the
early-race safety car restart, as Gasly attempted to pass Alonso for 10th pla
ce.
The Frenchman was forced to bounce over the kerbs inside the first chicane and
said the run-in resulted in a “massive” loss of downforce for his STR13.
“Basically, we came after the safety car into Turn 1 side by side, I went on
the outside and he pushed me completely out of the track.
“I tried to stay as on track as much as I could, but he just didn't leave me
the space, I had to jump over the kerb and then he also touched me and complet
ely damaged all the right side of my floor.
“[It] was only on the right side so from right to left corner [it] was differ
ent.
“I was losing already downforce when I was by myself, but following other car
s with the extra loss of downforce, was impossible to really get close. It was
a long, long Sunday.”
Gasly went on to finish the race in 15th, whereas Alonso retired with an elect
ronics failure shortly after the encounter.
Asked whether he spoke to F1 race director Charlie Whiting about the incident,
Gasly said: “No. Honestly it's not going to change anything.
“Maybe I will probably go to see Fernando if I see him today or in Singapore.
But at the end of the day they can give him a penalty, it's not going to chan
ge my race.”
