The Austrian Grand Prix could be remembered as the craziest of recent times, at least for the last five rounds. The main actors still seemed upset in the end. Jorge Martin summed it up with one apt sentence: “It felt like you were playing Mario Kart when they threw bananas on the track.”
It was actually such an absurd GP that it looked like a video game.
“If I have to explain what happened during the whole race, we’ll stay here for a month,” said Pramac’s Spaniard jokingly. “I decided to mount the hard tire at the front, even though I only tested it for one lap at the weekend. It went well and when it started to rain I reached the first riders. I passed Quartararo and Bagnaia. “
Then it was time to change a wheel.
“I was nervous. When I stopped the bike my bum went up and I hired a mechanic. I hope he’s fine“, Jörg apologized. “I was eleventh on the last lap. I thought I had thrown the race away, but in the first corner I saw a group of riders with three slicks and told myself it was time to push. I reached them at seven and was more than out of date, it was difficult to avoid them. “
The podium was worth it.
“To be honest, I feel super happy, more than last week about winning, because today was an unexpected result. Now I’ll have some time to understand what happened in those two weeks. Two poles and two podiums,” he concluded.
