The rule, aimed at preventing tyre failures, requires riders to start with different pressures depending on their race strategy. However, riders argue that it limits their ability to showcase their potential and puts immense pressure on engineers. MotoGP plans to remove first-offence warnings next year, potentially leading to exclusions from races for tyre pressure breaches.

Controversy Surrounds Portland Formula E Race.
