If we refer to two Malaysian sources, the fate of Valentino Rossi in MotoGP would already be sealed. Razlan Razali is even quoted and his alleged statement is all the more unambiguous as it would clearly echo the highest level of decision-making at Petronas. So, obviously, at the Sachsenring, an update is expected…
The rumor was noticed by the fine sleuths of Mowmag who share their discovery with us: two online newspapers in Malaysia reported, this morning, alleged declarations of Razlan Razali, team boss Petronas Sepang Racing. “Nous n’avons pas l’intention d’attendre plus longtemps, Petronas se concentrera sur les jeunes coureurs” peut-on lire.
It even specifies the details of this communication: “ us (SRT) let's refuse to wait too long for Rossi's decision as to whether or not he wants to continue racing next season. Through discussions with management, we unanimously agreed not to continue the contract with Rossi for the 2022 season. Therefore, we will return to focus on our goal of finding the best young pilots to fill the vacant position ».
Razali cannot avoid focusing on Rossi
The words are quoted by Kosmo who claims to have spoken directly with Razali, comments which were then also extracted from another site mekanika.com. For the time being, Razlan Razali made no comment on the situation. But in the middle of German Grand Prix, it’s a safe bet that an update will come. It will be recalled that the Doctor is penultimate in this Friday's ranking. But still ahead Pecco Bagnaia who hits rock bottom, both literally and figuratively, with his official Ducati. It will be recalled that the Petronas team and Yamaha have still said nothing about the renewal of their partnership for the next campaign.
