The feedback would be sent directly to Race Direction and, if an overwhelming majority of ridersꦿ were in agreement, red flags could the𝓀n be shown.

While the MotoGP class has flag-to-flag rules - meaning dry races are not stopped dueﷺ to the arrival of rain, with bike swaps allowed instead - there are still circumstances where practice, qualif💯ying and races need to be red-flagged due to extreme conditions.

The last two rounds have seen the Buriram Moto2 race stopped and MotoGP race delayed due to torrential rain and standing water. When the MotoGP race did begin, some riders💎 described having almost zero visibility in the early laps.

High winds then caused difficulties during Friday practice in Australia, including red flag𓄧s for the Moto2 class after a series of accidents.

The aim of a ‘red flag’ but๊ton would be to inform Race Direction of the dangers on track🧸 before the visible proof of an accident occurs.

“It's on the limit riding in this situation,” VR46s 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Luca Marini said of th🃏e Friday wind in Australia. “But every time we wait for a crash to have a red flag.

“It's difficult to take this decision. I think IRTA, Dorna, or Race Direction, when they need to take this kind of decision, it's not an easཧy job for them. Because they are not on track, they are here [in the pits] and from here you don't feel the wind.”

For that reason, riders have discussed having the 'red flag' ♛button.

“We are asking them, also in the Safety Commission, to have a button to push and maybe if 80% of the grid pushes 🧸this button, also ꦺin a race for example, they can have a red flag.

“It’s just to send more info🍬rmation. Because if you look at the race from the TV, you don't see anything🌃.”

At present, the onl♚y way riders can indicate their concerns to Race Dir🦩ection once a race has started is by raising their hand.

The problem is that a rider in the lead, for example, has a vested interest in stopping a race early, while those gaining ground as conditions deteriorate wo♛uld want it to continue.

As such, there is never going to be complete agreement, but giving riders a direct say and setting a high threshold would negate much🧔 of the criticism.

“I think now the technology is much better [to do this], and wh𒆙en you lift your hand, you might just see the three or four guys in the front [do it],” Marini said. “They can have in their mind an advantage by lifting their hand in that moment.

“But when 80% of the riders, even the last one, or the 16th place, pushes a button and sends a signal t⛎hat it is a dangerous situation - it's like a vote. I think it will be easier for [R🐓ace Direction] if we can send them this information.

“It’s like in F1, but they can speak [on the radio]. It's too difficult for us to speak but pushing a button we can do easily because we are pushing something [on the handlebars] all aroundꦓ the lap!

“So one more [button] is not a problem. We are open to other ideas as well, but 💛this was the easiest one.”

The button could also be used to help Race Direction quickly gauge how m♏any riders feel a race start should be delayed, after experiencing track condi🍃tions on their sighting lap(s) to the grid.
