After one of his best weekends with Honda, Luca Marini arrives in Buriram confident and focused on keeping up the pace. The Italian rider has shown remarkable progress since the start of the season, and 10th place in the Australian Sprint, followed by a solid 14th place in the main race, are proof of that.
Now in Buriram, a more demanding circuit in terms of braking and acceleration, Marini intends to continue the development of the Honda RC213V: ‘Our work from the start of the year is paying off and I am happy with what we have been able to achieve in the second half of the year. We need to keep on working hard like this to prepare well for next year’.
The Italian underlined the differences between the next circuit and the one he raced at last weekend: ‘Buriram is a very different track to Australia which is important for us to keep developing the Honda. I like the layout of Buriram quite a bit and have good memories there from the past’.
The young driver has already made the podium in the 2022 Thailand Sprint, a result that motivates him to look for more consistency this weekend.
