Fabio Quartararo has been fined and ordered to sit out the start of MotoGP practice at Silverstone as a punishment for “irresponsible” behaviour after his French Grand Prix crash
Fabio Quartararo was fined and suspended from the start of MotoGP practice at Silverstone for his “irresponsible” behavior following a crash at the French Grand Prix.
Despite starting from pole position in front of his home crowd, Quartararo went down while battling with Marc Marquez during the challenging wet/dry conditions early in the race.
Ignoring marshals’ instructions to abandon his bike and headed to the service road, Quartararo eventually complied after incurring a €2000 fine and practicing suspension.
Stewards deemed Quartararo’s actions as potentially dangerous and irresponsible, leading to the punishment for the British GP.
Quartararo acknowledged that he did not have the race pace to compete for victory and aimed to make the most of his start in the event.
The incident mirrored one involving Moto3 rider Ryusei Yamanaka, who received a lesser fine and suspension for a similar scenario during the race at Silverstone.
