Pecco Bagnaia expected it

.

Pecco Bagnaia and Marc Marquez were not punished by the Race Direction of the Portuguese Grand Prix for the contact that occurred in Turn 5 with three laps to go. "All I’m saying is that there will be no action by the race direction,” he told Sky Sports microphones, “I expected that. There are situations and situations, and in this one little could have been done. The decision è right, all we needed was for me to take the penaltyà".

"I started well but chose the wrong line in turn 3, closing when I should have been on the’outside – he added on his race -. From there I wanted to pass Enea in the first few laps becauseé I saw him a bit’ struggling, then from a certain point onwards I started to feel a bit’ lacking with the grip at the rear and I was no longer able to push as much as I would have liked.

"We weren’t right and we couldn’t find a solution, although yesterday and this morning I was feeling very good, so è it was a shame. There’was the potential after this morning to fight, to win or otherwise to be in front, but we couldn’t capitalize on anything, zero points".

"At the second race an account è when you fall like last year by your own fault, and then you are disappointed and turn around. In this case unfortunately we worked to the maximum but we è lacked something in the race that I did not expect. Until this morning everything was fine and I am particularly sorry. I looked at the tire pressure data to see if it was something related to that, but it è not so;. I could not be as fast as I wanted" concluded Bagnaia.
