An event that occurred in the morning warmup may have its implications in deciding the world title starting at three in the afternoon at the Cheste circuit. The poleman Maverick Vinales He was penalized three grid positions for disrespecting the black flag with an orange polka dot and immediately left the track due to a mechanical breakdown during the morning warmup and his position will be passed to the world championship leader which is Pecco Bagnaia.
In case Bagnaia is not in an advantageous position with a 14 point margin in his pocket, now he has no opponent to reach the leader at the end of the straight, if he can mount a good slide, and Martín’s option was to be able to place drivers between him and the leader to tilt the crown in his favor.
Fabio Quartararo, who was a doubt for the race, did not appear for the warmup due to illness, and Viñales moved from pole to fourth place while Martín remained sixth and Miller replaced his teammate with Zarco in the lead.
The importance of a good start at Cheste is greater than at other circuits because after the first and second corners a funnel forms and it is difficult to pass anyone who stays behind.
