pressure

MotoGP title contender Jorge Martin has played down the future implications of his official warning for low tyre pressure on his way to victory in Buriram.

The MotoGP World Championship will not introduce penalties for breaking the minimum tyre pressure regulations until at least round six at Mugello, in mid-June.

Francesco Bagnaia has strong rebuked claims that his front tyre pressure was in an ‘illegal situation’ on the way to MotoGP victory last time at Jerez.

Eponymous team boss Ross Brawn has played down suggestions that Jenson Button is buckling under the pressure of leading the Formula One world championship, claiming that even seven-time champion Michael Schumacher showed signs of tension in each of his title-winning campaigns.
