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 statements to the official championship website, the engineer spared no praise for the rookie’s fast 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 can make him faster. He is very open to assimilating information, he is very willing to try different things. […]Right now 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 on his own. We are supporting him, we are showing him using our experience to try to help accelerate the process. But sometimes he is a little faster than us. It’s impressive‘.
