Williams against Schumacher test

The Williams team have voiced their opposition to Ferrari’s request to let Michael Schumacher test the team’s current car in preparation for his planned Formula One comeback at the European Grand Prix.

威廉斯車隊已經對法拉利車隊的要求表示反對,法拉利車隊打算讓大舒在歐洲站上場前試駕今年的賽車。

With testing banned during the season under the current regulations, Ferrari had asked their fellow teams and the FIA for special permission to give Schumacher a run in the F60 ahead of his appearance at Valencia, where he is due to take the place of the injured Felipe Massa.

今年的技術規章禁止在賽季中禁止試車,法拉利已經詢問過其他車隊和FIA徵求特別允許大舒在瓦倫西亞上場前試駕F60,大舒將在瓦倫西亞代替受傷的Massa上場。

However, drawing comparisons between Schumacher’s situation and that of Toro Rosso newcomer Jaime Alguersuari, who debuted successfully in Hungary with no previous F1 experience, Williams insisted that allowing the German to test would clearly contravene the regulations and set an unfair precedent.

無論如何,比較大舒的情況和Toro Rosso 車隊的新車手Jaime Alguersuari 在匈牙利的成績,Jaime Alguersuari先前沒有駕駛過F1賽車的經驗,威廉斯車隊堅持讓大舒試車將違反規章並且立下了不公平的事例。

"In a similar situation, Williams would unhesitatingly use its current test driver,” said Williams. “For the sake of consistency and fairness, therefore, we oppose Ferrari's proposal to test ahead of the European Grand Prix."

"在相同處境下,威廉斯車隊會立刻讓試車手替補上場",Williams表示。"為了符合規則和公平性的理由,因此我們反對法拉利在歐洲站前測試的提案"。

Red Bull are also understood to have also raised objections and with Ferrari having failed to obtain the agreement of all teams, it means Schumacher will now be restricted to testing an older car and using Ferrari’s factory-based simulator. On Friday he completed almost 70 laps of Italy's Mugello circuit using a two-year-old F2007 machine running on GP2 slick tyres.紅牛車隊也反對法拉利的提案,法拉利無法取得所有車隊的同意,這表示大舒將被限制只能試駕舊車並使用法拉力的賽車模擬器。在週五大舒在義大利的Mugello賽道駕駛F2007完成約70圈的測試,使用GP2賽車的光頭胎。
