P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Jorge Martin clearly feels his Thailand GP victory was something of a statement win. And Martin certainly has a point, but a post-race revelation about the parameters his race was run in is something that should be at the back of his mind, too.
Despite feeling like a statement win, Jorge Martin’s victory at the Thailand Grand Prix was not without its doubts. He entered the race with uncertainty, given his previous races where he slipped up on potential wins. Martin admitted that his previous races in Mandalika and Phillip Island were tough, especially the crash in Indonesia that cost him the lead. Winning the race was a relief for him and gave him much-needed motivation for future races. However, his strategy during the race, particularly pacing himself in the opening laps, felt unfamiliar and may have indirectly helped his rival Bagnaia. Nonetheless, Martin’s confidence in battling and overtaking his rivals ultimately led to his victory.
