The controversy continues over the accident between Marc Márquez and Johann Zarco. It all goes back to free practice for the German Grand Prix, when the Honda man lost control of his motorcycle in the first corner of the Sachsenring, falling and taking the Frenchman, who was coming out of pit lane, ahead of him.
After the workouts, Márquez assured that Zarco was responsible, since he could have avoided the impact. “When it’s my fault I say so, but if anyone could avoid it, it was Zarco“said the man from Cervera in statements to ‘DAZN’.
Upon learning of the Catalan’s words, Zarco did not hesitate to step out, throwing a very direct dart at him. “You have to think twice before speaking. I accept that it is a racing incident, but can’t say it’s my fault“Said the Ducati man with noticeable anger.
Most of the members of the ‘paddock’ shared Zarco’s opinion, but this Saturday at eight in the morning, race management sent a circular to all the teams remembering that the driver who joins from the pit lane is responsible to avoid any incident with those who roll on the track.
“The responsibility for making a safe exit from the pits rests with the driver coming out of pit lane, and the blue flag must be respected. The blue flag located where the pit exit joins the track, he waves for the rider coming out of the laneto indicate that there are pilots approaching the runway,” said the note issued by the governing body.
“For your own safety and that of all riders, please remind your riders to they should pay attention to the blue flags and check for approaching motorcycles around the track, in order to have a safe exit from the pits,” the notice concluded.
