Jani upset after penalty
Monday, March 17, 2008
Neel Jani believes A1 Team Switzerland could have had double the championship
point lead it has now after a disastrous Feature race in Mexico.
在多灾多难的 Feature race 之前,Neel Jani 相信瑞士A1队应该可以将领先积分扩大
一倍。
Even though Switzerland extended its lead in the championship from 10 to 15
points over today’s two races, Jani was upset after the team was given a
drive-through penalty for an ‘unsafe release’ following its second stop.
虽然说瑞士队在两场比赛之后把领先的积分由10分扩大到15分,但对于车队在第二次停
站时,因为“危险出站”而被判罚进行一次惩罚性进站,Jani 感到相当失望。
Jani exited the pits alongside eventual winner Adam Carroll. The pair
continued to drive side-by-side until the exit of the pit lane, when Carroll
got ahead.
Jani 在出站时跟最后赢得比赛的 Adam Carroll 并行,在 Carroll 抢先之前,这两台
赛车在维修区跑道上比肩而行直到出口前。
Jani had been leading the race until the pit stop, but dropped to 13th after
taking the penalty. He eventually finished 19th, after a last-lap crash with
Pakistan.
在停站之前,比赛是由 Jani 领先,但是被判罚后掉到第13位,然后最后一圈跟巴基斯
坦撞车,以19名作收。
‘Our pit stop unfortunately wasn’t great and I was alongside [Adam] Carroll
leaving the pits. I was basically half a car length ahead so I couldn’t pull
over. I was ahead of him, so I stayed on my line.
“我们的停站很遗憾的不好,我跟 Carroll 并行离开,基本上有半个车身的领先,所以
我不会让的。是我领先他,所以我保持在我的线上。”
‘We would have been at least 27 or 30 points ahead after this if we wouldn’
t have had the penalty.’
“要不是这个处罚,我们至少会有27或30分的领先。”
However, with a 15-point advantage with four races to go, Jani says he is
intent on taking this season’s title.
无论如何,在剩下的四场比赛中有着15分的领先优势,Jani 表示他会全力争取冠军。
‘This makes me determined from now to win this championship for Switzerland,
’ Jani said. ‘The determination doesn’t change but it just makes me more
angry. I definitely I will try not to give anyone any cause to give us a
penalty in the future.’
Jani 说:“我从现在更坚决地要为瑞士拿到冠军,这只有使我更加愤怒,但动摇不了我
的决心。未来,我决不再给任何人有任何借口来惩罚我们。”
