“We’ll see tomorrow, but it’s the best way to say goodbye to the team. Even if it’s a sprint race, at least we gave them a podium this weekend. We’ll choose a realistic race tomorrow.

To tell you the truth, there was a bit of a mix-up at Turns 4 and 5 between Binder and Vinales, so something like this happened. It happens,” he commented. There I smelled blood and thought as usual “Let’s go in at Turn 6”, but Martin defended very well and I cut off the gas, but I was already coasting. He was coming.

“Fortunately, it was just a brush. If I had continued at normal speed, a strong touch would have caused one of them to fall off. Yes, I pushed quite a bit, I won’t say my butt. Well, I pressed my foot against the tank to prevent the movement from getting worse,” Marquez explained.

About parting ways with Honda this weekend“The most difficult thing for me today was after the sprint race.
