Fabio Quartararo reacts to MotoGP marshal penalty: ‘I didn’t do anything stupid’
Yamaha MotoGP rider Fabio Quartararo believes his actions that resulted in a penalty for disregarding marshals at the French Grand Prix were justified, though he acknowledges the punishment. Quartararo crashed out early in the race at Le Mans while vying for a podium finish and received a penalty for not following marshals’ instructions to leave his bike. As a consequence, he had to miss the first 10 minutes of FP1 at the British Grand Prix. Reflecting on the incident, Quartararo admitted that he shouldn’t have reacted as strongly when trying to rejoin the race and cited inconsistencies in the marshals’ actions during the incident. Despite understanding the marshals’ perspective, Quartararo questioned the fairness of being penalized when others had not been in similar situations previously.
