Maybe we will come to Buriram with a different chassis, with different geometries, we don’t know… But we can’t think too much about it because Michelin can even replace the tires, you never know because sometimes they make prototypes and then they try to improve them to help all the drivers ”, Márquez explained about his problem with tires.
