MotoGP 2018 has just passed two stages but we have witnessed one of the most exotic race in the history of the tournament in Argentina past
MotoGP is the world's leading motor racing championship, which brings together the best individuals of two-wheel racing. In line with F1's 4-Wheel Drive, this is the second time that the top-of-the-line sports enthusiasts are attracted to the sport. Therefore, the MotoGP and F1 organizers agreed to build an annual race schedule that did not coincide with the main race.
Of course, with the number of 20 under one year and starting in March and ending in the end of November, it will be unavoidable for both of them to have the same weekend, but not too much. The two races take place in two different locations and time zones around the world. However disastrous happened last weekend when Bahrain GP and Argentina GP conflicts slightly in the schedule.
Specifically in Singapore time, F1 Bahrain GP starts from 22h10 and ends at about 23h50, coinciding with the time of Moto2 and Moto3 race. This makes audiences suspicious of Dorna Sports, MotoGP's parent company only considers these two forms to be "adoptive", because if to choose the track between the two events, surely many will watch the race of F1 instead of the other two forms.
Keep in mind that the first Qatar GP was held on March 18th, which is 3 weeks longer than the second leg. They could transfer the Argentina GP schedule more than a week ago, when no event coincided. it. To say the two are not important and not interesting, it is a misconception because when the goal of each race is not long (the championship last season) as at MotoGP, they will fight off I in each leg to get glory. That makes Moto2 and 3 more attractive in each race.
The second mistake of the organizers is probably not clear in the law that the pole driver is the most disadvantaged in the main race. At the time of the launch of the Argentina GP, a rare sight was found, Jack Miller was the only car in the rankings, and all other cars were fined five times more than they were. The truth is that their penalty should be the starting point in the pit.
In the past, there was a similar incident, which was at the German GP in 2014, when almost all of them entered the pit after the warm-up lap. This caused the scenery in the pit to be chaotic and risk of unsafe to many people, so this time monitor the race and the team leaders meeting to discuss a more reasonable solution. It is a decision not based on the current law but rather on the desire for a safe race.
Pramac Racing's pole-steer driver claims he is the only one not benefiting from the decision, and that is part of the reason he lost the victory at Rio Hondo. Miller understands in this case, it is the right solution but still can not help wondering when his right decision does not bring anything good.
"To me, the smooth tire is the choice for this race, we can not start with rain tires and the weather then proves this." Miller writes on redbull.com.
"When you see a fast dry race, make sure the smooth tire is the right choice. And then all rushed into the pit, I was alone in the pole position wondering where people had gone now, and then they backed off the start time of 15 minutes. "
"We all have the wrong choice and the wrong tire, we do not. Why am I penalized like that? I understand that the managers of this tournament are under a lot of pressure but really it is a pity for the team to have the right choice but to feel cheated. "
Miller made the most of the error in the last rounds, but fourth was also the best in a dry race for the Australian driver. Cal Crutchlow also won the praise for Miller with what he showed in the run and in the race.
"What he did in the race was so good. It was a fantastic run and he did well in the main race ..."

Argentina GP resurrected and there are many other opportunities for Jack Miller to win the first MotoGP in 2018 as well as in the near future. With the organizers, this will be a lesson for them to correct and bring to the fair race, attract more viewers in a more reasonable time.
