The team fired the mechanic who beat the motorcycle racer during the Grand Prix
A Moto3 racing team mechanic has been sacked after a video appeared on social media showing him beating up British motorcycle racer Tom Booth-Amos during the 2019 Thai Grand Prix, MotoGP said.
In a footage leaked last week, the head mechanic of the Moto3 team argues with a rider and then kicks him repeatedly. The video received wide publicity on social media.
— It became known that the person in question continues to work in the paddock in another team that did not know about this incident. The team decided to fire this employee, who will not return to work after the Malaysian Grand Prix.
Abusive behavior should not and will not be tolerated. All parties will continue to work to make the MotoGP paddock the safest working environment possible.
The Malaysian Grand Prix MotoGP and junior series of road racing will be held from 21 to 23 October.
