Čitam sad sve i svašta o ovom današnjem incidentu - Marquez je na kraju dobio dvostruku long lap kaznu za VN Argentine, no oko toga ima par zanimljivosti.
Prva je da je, prema njegovim riječima, takva kazna nešto što je dogovoreno uoči vikenda:
When asked to respond, Marquez simply stated that he has been given the penalty mandated in the rules but says he would also accept a harsher punishment if it was stipulated.
“I mean, on the [safety] briefing on Thursday on the rules, that was the penalty,” Marquez said of his double long lap.
“So, was like if you overtake and you create a dangerous situation and you create a crash of another rider, it’s a double long lap the first time.
“Then second time I think it’s a pitlane start, and third time is a ride-through.
“By the rules they explained in the briefing, it’s a double long lap. But if the rules said heavier, I will accept because it was my mistake.”
Na Twitteru je rekao kako uopće nije ni imao namjeru pretjecati u tom zavoju (po onom što vidim na snimci zaista nije), ali greška na kočenju je bila ogromna i smatram da bi se posljedice morale uzeti u obzir kod kažnjavanja - ako si malom greškom izazvao veliko sranje, po meni bi kazna trebala biti velika. Istog stava sam bio npr. u slučaju Bottasa u Mađarskoj '21. kada je dobio smiješnih pet mjesta za Belgiju, što je bilo gotovo jedno mjesto za svakog vozača kojeg je izbacio u prvom zavoju.

Ono što je bizarno je da Marquez uopće neće morati odraditi svoju kaznu ako ne nastupi idućeg vikenda jer je specifično navedeno da je kazna za VN Argentine

Aleix smatra da bi se vozači kolektivno trebali primiriti:
Espargaro also noted that the aggression levels on track this weekend have left several riders with injuries and that “we cannot continue like this”.
“Sincerely, it’s first race and we have a lot of riders in the hospital. We cannot continue like this,” Espargaro, whose brother Pol was hospitalised after a practice crash with multiple fractures, said.
“But this is not about race direction, teams. This is about the riders. If there is a last lap, you can be aggressive, you can touch another, it’s ok. But come on, it’s race one and we have four riders in the hospital.”
Martin je u sudaru zadobio manju ozljedu i nije štedio Marca u izjavama:

It’s not the first time he destroys my race, so maybe in future he manage to avoid me or at least race direction do something because I never destroyed a race for him or injured me. It’s already the second time, so I hope he can improve.”
“So… he keeps doing the same, so maybe he needs to get stronger penalties. But, you know, we all know it’s Marc so they will do nothing.”
