In the race of Moto2 of the Argentine Grand Prix, we saw some particularly virile passes of arms taking place between the leading men. The contacts took place, and as said Gardner on arrival, there was finally no reason to complain since everyone was able to at least give what they received. But officials have a different opinion. A sanction has just fallen against KTM official Brad Binder. The first and the last?
The facts concern the last battle for the finish between the South African and Marcel Schrötter. For the gain of fifth place, virilely taken by the teammate of Jorge Martin who fell after a collision with Joe Roberts. But the former Moto3 World Champion will have to return this top 5 to his German rival.
The stewards sanctioned him for irresponsible driving, which falls under article 1.21.2 of the FIM World Championship Grand Prix Regulations which states that “ drivers must drive responsibly, so as not to endanger other competitors or participants, on the track or in the pit lane ».
Brad Binder therefore ends his escapade at Termas sixth and not fifth. Schrötter goes the opposite way.
