Tech3 MotoGP boss critical of ‘ChatGPT ruling’ on Enea Bastianini penalty
Tech3 MotoGP team boss Herve Poncharal expressed frustration over Enea Bastianini’s double long lap penalty at the Hungarian Grand Prix following a collision in the sprint race.
Bastianini was involved in an incident with Fabio Quartararo at the start of the sprint, resulting in being sent to the back of the field and damaging his rear ride height device, leading to a later crash with Johann Zarco.
Despite mitigating circumstances, Bastianini received the penalty as his second offence of the season, a decision that Poncharal views as unjust.
Poncharal believes Bastianini was unfairly penalized and criticizes what he perceives as a strict interpretation of the rules without considering situational factors.
The team’s disappointment stems from the potential Bastianini showed in the race and the issues he faced with his motorcycle post-collision.
While acknowledging the importance of adhering to regulations, Poncharal questions the fairness of the penalty and the inflexible application of the rules in this case.
