Vinalos' bear podium favors Suzuki
With third place in Australia, Maverick Vinales achieved an excellent ranking for the Suzuki team, but at the same time the team will be left without some benefits that they could still help themselves with this year. With each ranking among the best three, the so-called concession points are considered the worst team, namely three points for winning, two for second place and one concession point for third. Teams that collect less than six concession points in the previous season can use nine instead of seven powertrains in the new season, can develop the engine during the season and at the same time test unlimitedly with their regular racers. When the team collects six points, unlimited testing is immediately abolished, and additional powertrains and an engine development freeze ensue with the start of the new season. Suzuki Ecst
