Team ItalTrans Racing was fined 300 euros for racing Mattia Pasini last Tuesday at the Misano circuit.
Of course, he was not the only one riding that day, since, among others, the drivers of the Garage Plus and CarXpert teams, the VR46 Riders Academy as well as Franco Morbidelli, Alex Marquez, and Sam Lowes were also there. . Only they had informed the Race Direction: ItalTrans, no, and it is a violation of the regulations.
That said, is 300 euros really a deterrent for a team?
The obligation to notify the Race Direction allows the latter to check that the teams do not exceed the 10 days of testing permitted.
Not warning her can of course be an oversight of the rules, and this can happen even to the best (Ask Ducati and Stoner), but can also be an “intentional” oversight, to try to save one of the 10 days of testing allowed, and in this case, 300 euros may seem like a very light punishment...
