The sheer variety of strategic approaches to MotoGP’s French GP showed MotoGP teams simply don’t have enough control over their strategies
The French Grand Prix in MotoGP last Sunday was a chaotic mess for many riders due to the unpredictable weather conditions.
Teams in MotoGP still have a lot to learn about managing such situations efficiently compared to Formula 1 teams.
Despite clear weather predictions from a nearby radar, many teams failed to develop a proper strategy for the race.
Instead of following a set strategy, a common tactic in these situations is to imitate Marc Marquez, but this time, many riders were unsure and made multiple pit stops.
Johann Zarco stood out with a clear strategy, relying on insights from his team boss and amateur pilot Lucio Cecchinello, ultimately leading to his unexpected victory.
Zarco’s well-informed decision, based on real-time weather data, highlighted the importance of strategic planning and exposed the shortcomings of his competitors.
The difference in strategy execution between MotoGP and Formula 1 was evident, with MotoGP facing greater challenges due to the nature of the sport and lack of real-time communication during races.
