P1racenews AI automatic summary:
For the second year in a row Ducati has resisted using team orders to help Pecco Bagnaia’s title bid. Last year that was arguably questionable – this year it’s undoubtedly the right thing to do
ot micromanage the races or manipulate the results for the benefit of one rider over another. It believes in fair competition and allowing its riders to fight it out on the track. Even though Bastianini may not be in contention for the championship, Ducati respects his right to race and compete to the best of his ability. Additionally, the cost-benefit analysis suggests that intervening to control or rein in Bastianini’s performance would not yield significant gains for Bagnaia or Ducati. Ultimately, Ducati’s focus is on winning the championship, and it trusts that its riders will give their all to achieve that goal, without the need for team orders or interference.
