Alex Marquez was not dissatisfied with his Styrian Grand Prix but all the same, he blamed himself for having made a few too many mistakes, without which he would have, at least, been the first in the family Marquez at the finish... He thinks, more would have been possible for Spielberg than this ninth place. And it's his fault if he didn't do better. He explained : " I made too many mistakes. I wanted to give 110%, but I missed the braking point a few times and I was still in the green part, so I had to let Marc pass, otherwise I would have received a penalty and lost even more time »
Alex Marquez: “it wasn’t fair”
Nevertheless, he was able to learn a lot from his teammate at LCR Honda, Takaaki Nakagami, and his brother Marc to do better during the second race in Austria which will take place this weekend. “ If we change one or another detail, then we can improve. We have gathered enough information to do so », declares the youngest Marquez for sure.
He had an unfortunate first start. “ It's still tight and tricky here in the first corner. There is hardly any space, then a few drivers passed in front of me coming from the clearance zone. It wasn't fair ", did he declare. On the second start, it was better: “ I was faster in pace and more aggressive. Then the mistakes happened, but I'm happy with the work we did. If I hadn't lost too much time against Francesco Bagnaia in the final phase, then an attack on Marc would have been possible. I tried to catch it, but there was no way », Finishes the 25-year-old pilot.
