Together with stricter tyre stress enforcement and a stop-go monitor format, the affect of downforce and soiled air was cited as a purpose for the shortage of overtaking in final weekend’s Austrian MotoGP.
“I already mentioned about this two, three or 4 years in the past,” Marquez mentioned, when requested in regards to the high quality of the ‘present’ on Sunday. “However some individuals are towards the aerodynamic issues, different individuals are in favour.
“After which if you happen to say one thing [against aero] folks say, ‘it’s since you can’t adapt to those aerodynamics’.
“You may adapt. However the precise MotoGP [show now] relies upon far more about your bike, as a result of if you do not have the aerodynamics, you do not have the traction…
“After which to assault and overtake riders turns into an increasing number of troublesome. It turns into like Formulation 1. And Formulation 1 goes within the reverse method.
“Seems to be like [F1 wants] much less downforce and fewer impact in regards to the aero. And we’re going within the reverse method. Each time larger, larger, larger.
“It seems to be like in 2027 it can change, nevertheless it’s too late. I imply, three [more] years like this, the event goes to have an increasing number of and extra downforce.”
One rider that did make substantial progress within the race was Jorge Martin.
The Pramac Ducati rider certified in twelfth, climbed shortly to seventh, however then dropped to thirteenth after serving an extended lap penalty.
The Spaniard, who fought by way of to seventh once more, pointed the finger on the greater beginning tyre pressures wanted to keep away from a danger of a post-race penalty, below the brand new system of stricter stress enforcement.
“It’s a stress factor. With these stress limits,” Martin mentioned of the spread-out racing. “Usually we go into the [correct tyre pressure] vary on the ninth lap and already on the primary lap I had a very good stress! So this implies at lap 9, I used to be overheating quite a bit.
“I felt it. You can’t observe [closely] as a result of the tyre will get overheated. It’s actually troublesome.
“That’s the reason coming from thirteenth was very difficult and as quickly as I had [fresh air] I pulled six seconds away from the rider behind.
“It is extremely troublesome to observe and we have to discover a method, in any other case will probably be very boring racing.”
The Spaniard felt the addition of a chicane between turns 2 and three, launched final season, has solely added to the subject.
“It’s one other braking level that overheats the tyres extra. However for certain it’s also much less harmful for the third nook,” he mentioned.
The present five-year cycle of technical guidelines runs till the tip of 2026. Any modifications earlier than then can solely be made on security grounds or with unanimous settlement from the 5 producers.
