Pecco Bagnaia salutes the new qualifying format in Indonesia while firmly demanding the return of the Warm-Up....
The Turiner on Thursday of Mandalika spoke of the new format that will come into force in 2027 with two separate qualifications for Sprint and race: "I like it, I think it's a good thing and I think it's an improvement. You have to add the Warm-up, apart from this it's an improvement. The amount of time on track will be the same. Q1 with 22 more dangerous drivers? In the last quarter of an hour of Pre-qualifications it's already more or less so"…
All of us drivers in the Safety Commission were in agreement on the new format. For me it is an improvement: we have always asked for a qualification per race. However, the Warm-Up should be added.
For Pecco Bagnaia, the new weekend format, which will be used from the MotoGP season in 2027, is an improvement. He supports sprint qualifying, but the warm-up must not fall away.
