After more than a decade as the image of Honda and Repsol, Marc Márquez will face his first season as a rider for the satellite team (Gresini Racing) in the MotoGP World Championshipbut far from saying that their situation is more relaxed than a private team of Ducatiadmit it “The pressure is the same now on Gresini as it was when he was in the official Honda factory team”said Márquez after the last Portuguese GP in Portimao, where He finished second in the sprint race and crashed out in the long raceafter an accident in Pecco Bagnaia.
“(The pressure) is also like that drivers are happy if they are on the podium“Teams are happy if they are on the podium, and it is the goal of this team to be on the podium,” he said.
“Being on the podium is better than being in the top five and winning a race is better than being on the podium. So having a good environment, Having a few jokes doesn’t mean you don’t have pressure or you don’t have ambition“, he claimed.
The Spaniard really rejected the idea that being in a small team made his life easier. “The ambition is the same as that of a factory team, because we are here to fight for the best possible result. But it is true that there are fewer people in the team and it is more familiar. A good atmosphere within the team is a big help,” concluded the Cervera driver.
