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 episode, a dangerous episode actually happened with me even though ther♚e were many things behind it.

“I was coming hot, I w൩as 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 picking up Bez’s bike.

“There were no yellow 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 sไlower 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 lap time was vital for him to go into Q2.

“So, that dangerous episode is with me because anything could have happened. I could have slowed down even more, maybe we could have touc☂hed. So,⭕ it’s a fair penalty.”

He added: “It’s going 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: “Well, the danger wasꦬ there but actually i𒈔t 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 wou🐎ld have been no yellow flags when we passed through.

“So, it was very much an on-t♛he-limit situation. It’s nobody’s fault, it’s MotoGP.”
