Pedro Acosta is showing himself to be fast and consistent since the MotoGP shakedown in Sepang. Despite taking his first steps in the premier class, he is already making an impression on his team, Red Bull GasGas Tech3, as can be seen from the words of his chief mechanic, Paul Trevathan.
In an interview with the official championship website, the engineer didn’t spare praise for the rookie’s quick learning: ‘What can I say? We all expected a steep learning curve, but he impresses me with what he has been able to do in such a short period of time. He is trying to find his limits, trying to understand what tricks make you faster. He is very open to assimilating information, he is very willing to try different things. […]At the moment he is just going through that learning curve, finding the limits in different things and trying different ways of doing things. Once you try one way, once you try another way‘.
Trevathan even revealed that sometimes Acosta is ahead of the team: ‘He is doing everything by himself. We are supporting him, we are showing him using our experience to try to help speed up the process. But sometimes he is a bit faster than us. It’s impressive‘.
