P1racenews AI automatic summary:
MotoGP title contender Jorge Martin has played down the future implications of his official warning for low tyre pressure on his way to victory in Buriram.
As a result of Martin’s first offence in Thailand, his race result was not affected. However, any subsequent breaches of the specified tyre pressure minimums in the remaining races could result in a 3-second post-race time penalty, which could have a significant impact on the championship. Pramac will likely take a conservative approach to the starting tyre pressures for Martin in order to avoid any penalties. Selecting the right pressure is a complex task due to various factors such as weather conditions and track position. Several other riders have also breached the minimum tyre pressures, and penalties escalate with each subsequent offence. In order to avoid penalties, Martin may use slipstreaming behind other bikes to cool his tyres if he receives a low-pressure warning. On the other hand, Bagnaia, who holds a small points advantage over Martin, has not yet used his warning and can take more risks with his starting pressure. He believes that being under the limit throughout the race provides an advantage in terms of braking and entry. The lack of pressure time penalties could be beneficial in the hot conditions of Malaysia and especially in Qatar.
