The FIM has issued a new statement on the sanction imposed on Marc Márquez after the race of Portugalwhere it transfers the request of Sling to the Arbitration Committee Tribune.
After the decisions made and the words of Álex Márquez, the rest of the grid of MotoGP She has been asked for her opinion, and everyone has been very clear about what is needed so that this does not happen again.
Pecco Bagnaia: “we ask for more clarity”
The current one World Champion he sends a ‘message’ to the FIM commissioners panel and asks “to have a clearer idea of safety and sanctions”. Because he admits that he doesn’t understand “that someone can make a mistake like that.”
On the other hand is Marco Bezzecchi. It is in the same vein as Bagnaia. The two agree that “it would be great to have clearer ideas, but I understand that it is a very difficult job.”
The hardest of all has been Jack Miller. The Australian understands that “when you haven’t been on the bike for four months, we all want to prove things” and unfortunately “accidents can happen in this sport and when you’ve made a mistake there have to be consequences”.
“It is not the way”
And he has had them, but he considers that missing a race or applying another sanction, “I don’t think it’s the way, and even less in the first race.” Miller also adds that last year, without going any further, there were big falls, but “as Marc Márquez is, everyone thinks and goes with the knife against him.” “I’m not trying to defend him. He’s made a mistake and he knows it, but they’re getting too busy. In the end it’s racing.”
The question, according to Jack Miller, is not to impose one sanction or another, the question is “that there has to be a line, and the job of the commissioners is to know where that line is.” Maverick Vinales, in this case, think the same. “We have to believe that the sanctions are correct because everything is very complicated.”
and has also spoken fonsi grandson, in this case for ‘AS’. He has made it clear that “everyone makes mistakes” and that “we must not crucify Marc”. He believes that “he has already had enough with the whistle from the public, which nobody likes, with falling, with injuring himself and with the penalty,” she declared.
Why Márquez yes and Marini no?
“When you come back you have to do the penalty. If you are injured you already miss the race.” That is the point of view of Fabio Quartararo. On the other hand, he considers that the way in which he has been penalized during the Portuguese Grand Prix has not been the fairest. “Joan Mir has had his penalty, Marc Márquez too, but why not Luca Marini? If you crash and take a rider in front, it’s a double ‘long lap’. Marini has done the same, although it’s not as serious. Also there was a pilot on the ground and they have not penalized him”.
“He has to serve the penalty when he returns, but I haven’t understood much… Why not Marini?” 🤔🤔🤔
