easier with the same software for
everybody; in theory, nobody has
to be crazy for the performance."
Suppo also wanted to clear up
was what he saw as a common
misconception of the new rule.
"One thing I'd like to underline
is that sometimes in some in-
terviews, it seems to me it's still
not clear that this new situation
would allow in any way the com-
pany to still develop something,"
Suppo said. "And this is the rea-
son why Honda finally accepted
to have the single software for ev-
erybody. The situation we finally
end up with is a group of people
from each manufacturer, that we
give their suggestion to Magnetti
Marelli to develop the software.
This keeps alive the need of the
company to justify racing, also
because it's a way to develop
technology and this is something
that I don't think we've been able
to communicate properly."
But this one-for-all means shar-
ing and transparency.
"The thing is that whatever is
requested from one manufac-
turer, it will be available for every-
one," Ciabatti said. "So that's the
spirit. If there's a specific need
Marc
Marquez and
Honda were
unstoppable
for most of the
season.
"I think we all agree
on the fact that
there should be
only one class in
2016 and onwards.
And now it's more
a question of how
many liters, how
many engines,
and that's our
discussion."
