Sprint Jerez, Maverick Vinales against race direction

The Spaniard of the’Aprilia Maverick Vinales, crashed in the sprint of the Spanish Grand Prix at the Jerez de la Frontera circuit disputed on slippery asphalt due to the rain that fell earlier, è furious at the microphones of Sky Sport MotoGP and launches heavy accusations to the race direction. Here are his words, reported by formulapassion.it.

“Today the problem was the state of the track, they continued to let us race despite the fact that we fell like skittles. This è an issue that needs to be talked about. The conditions were bad. At Turn 5 you could not see that it was wet”.

“On the first lap Aleix (Espargaro, his teammate, ed.) made an incredible flight at Turn 8 without pushing on the gas, because heé took the wet part. That has to be the theme. You don’t understand how you can have a race, moreover a Sprint, with the track so wet. There’were not the conditions. We drivers sometimes have to get more’in agreement. Nothing happens to wait an extra half’hour and race on a dry track“.

“Climbing up here è difficult, moreù than in Austin of course, but looking at the data in the pits I saw that I had a pace close to that of the leaders. Tomorrow I have to get a good start and put theì in that case I can play it“.
