Yamahaꩲ MotoGP rider Fabio Quaꦺrtararo says his actions which led to a penalty for ignoring marshals at the French Grand Prix were “not stupid” but “understands” the punishment.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fabio Quartararo crashed out of the French GP early in th༺🌼e rain-hit race while fighting for the podium places.

He was later given a penalty for ignoring inst🍷ructions from the marshals to leave his bike, with the Yamaha riཧder now forced to sit out the opening 10 minutes of FP1 on Friday at the British Grand Prix.

On Thursday at Silverstone, Quartararo accepts ⭕he shouldn’t have gotten as angry as he did when trying to rejoin the ౠrace at Le Mans.

But also believes the stewards need to take into ac🅰count in these scenarios that the marshals were not all doing the same thing 🥂in that incident.

“It’s not stupid what I did, because everyone has done it in the past and no one was pe🍸nalised,” he said.

“They call you as a warning, but I was the firstಞ one to be called [for a penalty].

“‘Ok, everyo🍸ne is doing it so you will be the first one to be penalised’. I can understand, though I am the first one always to be penalised.

“But I can understand the re💃a⛦ction from the marshals.

“My bike was in good condition.𒁏 But theꦜy called me into race direction because I insisted a lot.

“But ♏I said that if they pushed me well I would have restarted the bike.

“It would have been no ⛄discussion. But the marshals didn🥃’t push me.

“One was pushing, one was holding෴, one was pushing, one was holding.

“You cannot restart a MoꦓtoGꩲP bike if you are not pushing strongly.

“If yo🐼u want to penalise me, it’s ok, I can understand. But you need to also understand what t𝓡he marshals are doing.

“It was my fault to get angry and not want to put the 🔯bike on the side, but we need to understand that the marshals have some responsibility to push me strong - not one holding and one p🐼ushing.

“That’s what they have to understand on the screen, where we can cl🌺early see they were not pushing.”

Quartararo was also given a €2000 fine for the incident, but no other supplementary punishment beyond his 10-minu🦹te delay to FP1 at the British GP.
