Marc Marquez finally ended this year’s main race as a finishing nightmare in Austria. Even since last season, it was difficult for him to get points in the long season, but in the ups and downs of the Red Bull Ring, he finally won the 12th place and scored 3 points. The Austrian game gave Marquez a glimmer of light. Even the current crisis of HONDA in MotoGP has not been resolved.
“It’s no secret, like at Silverstone, I try to take as little risk as possible on weekends, it’s easier to get points, but it’s not easy for us, we’ve been playing all weekend. In trying to control risks and avoid crashes, except for Friday’s FP1, I almost never ran on the edge of the limit, and since then, we have gradually entered a good state.”
Compared with the majority of drivers on the field who choose medium tires, Marquez resolutely uses soft tires on the very hot Austrian track.
“I think this is the best solution for Honda, I know I have to manage my first lap well, but all the engineers in the garage who can analyze are once morest this decision, but I have to let Honda understand , the RC213V can’t use the medium tires, we will have no speed at all, and we will end up with nothing, this is my bet in this race, for a while Santi Hernandez has to convince me to do something, because in the Austrian circuit, every One driver uses medium tires.”
“Although I don’t like it, I think we have to change the approach. We used a ten-minute warm-up as a further test. We tried some big changes on the car, but it didn’t work out as expected. For that reason, we did things a little bit differently in the race, and in the sprint on Saturday, I felt comfortable going through the race and pushing the car as much as I might.”
“Recently we have a lot of things to check, so I have to stay focused in every place, so you don’t make too many mistakes, otherwise you don’t understand the real feedback that these technologies bring, for example, today I have a The new goal is to protect the life of the soft tires in the race so that they can still reach the working state in the second half of the race. Of course, there is considerable pressure on the mental level, but I try my best to do my best, and our The direction is right.”
Finally, regarding Johann Zarco’s upcoming transfer to HONDA next year, Marc Marquez believes that Johann Zarco is the person who has ridden the DUCATI Desmosedici GP, the most balanced car on the field. This will be very helpful for HONDA to understand the current improvement direction. Marquez believes that, When the factory team makes everything perfect, the rider can focus on riding the bike, you feel invincible, everything is easier, and the rider can enjoy himself.
