Joan Mir made no secret of his frustration after his crash at the Australian GP, but hopes to get back on track next weekend in Malaysia.
Joan mir had another complicated Grand Prix this weekend. While Japan, where he had consistently been at the forefront and had secured a podium finish, seemed to have been a turning point, in fact the difficulties began again in Indonesia the following week. The Spanish driver was unable to align everything to match the pace of his teammate Luca Marini.
Outside the top 10 on Friday, Mir had to participate in Q1 yesterday and failed to advance to Q2. Qualifying 14th, he finished the sprint race in 11th position. This Sunday, he gained two places on the grid due to penalties from Francesco Bagnaia and Brad Binder, but lost both places during the first lap. He finally returned to his initial 12th place on the fifth lap but saw his race end five laps later.
The #36 crashed, recording his 15th clean sheet of the season. While he encountered a problem with his front tire, he believes the RC213V had much more potential, as as evidenced by Marini's sixth place, and that a good result would have been possible. He therefore hopes to be able to start off on the right foot in Malaysia, where he also had a complicated weekend last year with a 16th place in the sprint race and a fall on Sunday.
“From the first lap, I felt a strange sensation: I couldn't overtake and ride as I wanted. I was still able to gain places, and I think there was even more potential today. There was something with the front tire temperature, which is really critical with these bikes. Obviously, I'm not satisfied with our weekend. We knew it would be a more difficult weekend, but we were aiming to finish with a better result. Now, it's off to Malaysia, where we hope to get back to the pace of the last races.”, did he declare.
