Morbidelli: “Aleix Espargaro has more to be ashamed of than to be proud of”
Reaction of Franco Morbidelli after the incident with Aleix Espargaro In this Saturday’s sprint race, qatar grand prix The Italian pilot’s dissatisfaction became clear. “I have nothing to say to you. They typically react disproportionately to the situation, becoming exaggerated and even violent.. It’s no good to show it. “I’m proud and happy to be able to look everyone in the face,” Morbidelli said.
Espargaro, the oldest, and Morbidelli got into an argument that ended with a slap from Aleix. This reaction did not please the Italian pilot, who criticized the Catalan pilot’s handling. “Marquez was on the ground so I braked and he braked less and passed me. Then I tried to get back into position and he went crazy into Turn 6. He risked coming in and shaking me off. I told him to relax and he responded, ‘something like that,’ he explained. “You can’t react to drivers slowing down just because there’s a yellow flag.”“, He said.
That wasn’t the only pearl Morbidelli threw at Aleix. “I’m proud of my integrity, I’m happy and I can look everyone in the face. I couldn’t say anything to him, an apology from him is of little value.” said the Italian.
He spoke further. “You need to have a little bit of sporting hatred for your rivals, but not that much.”. If the pilot asked you to take a rest, how would you react?we all think so Aleix has a problem. Because throughout his career, he has had more episodes to be ashamed of than ones to be proud of.” he concluded.
