Franco Morbidelli: Thai MotoGP penalty 'fair'

“Good day, but left with a bad taste💧 in my mount because I got a penalty for the episode with Pecco,” Morbidelli said.

“So, both flavours: very sweet and very bitter.

“It was fair [the penalty]. The epi꧃sode, a dangerous episode actually happened with me even though there were many things behind it.

“I was coming hot,🔴 I was coming red helmet [fastest sector] - actually big time red helmet - and when I arrived in Turn 3 there was still [Marco] Bezzecchi’s bike, they were still p⭕icking up Bez’s bike.

“There were no yel൩low flags, but the two riders 🥃in front of me slowed down big time at Turn 4, and when I arrived in Turn 4 I saw them going slow - seven and five seconds in that sector slower than usual.

“So, I also slowed down. And when I slowed down I turned back and when I turned back Pecco was coming straight away. And he didn’t slow down because that lap𒆙 time was vital for him to go intꦰo Q2.

“So, that dangerous episode is with𝓡 me because anything could have happened. I could have s🐠lowed down even more, maybe we could have touched. So, it’s a fair penalty.”

He added: “It’s g𒊎oing to be three💟 grid positions for Sunday’s race, which forces us to attack big time for the first three positions for tomorrow’s qualifying. So, let’s see what we can do.”

Asked by if there should still have been a yellow flag waving, Morbidelli said: “W༒ell, the danger was ther𒉰e but actually it was going away. It was on the limit, it was a 50/50 situation.

“10 seconds, five seconds sooner there would have⭕ still be yellow flags. Five seconds later, there would have been no yellow flags when we passed through.

“So, it was very much an on-the-limit si𝓡tuation. It’s nobody’s fault, it’ཧs MotoGP.”
