Says winglets hurting overtaking

Makes Statement0 Comments

When asked about the lack of late-race overtaking this year, Marquez says winglets could be a factor, along with the new Michelin tyres.

It’s difficult to say, it’s many things. We are trying to understand the tyres, it’s difficult to manage all the [race] pace because you don’t know when they will drop [laptime]. And, another thing, the wings didn’t help for the show, for the overtakes. This also can be a good reason, now it’s starting to be kind of Formula 1. When you take the slipstream you don’t have the downforce, then you have more wheelie, so it’s more difficult to overtake.
