Keith Huewen: ‘Good guy’ Freddie Spencer’s position has become untenable Full story & Podcast 🎙️👉 MotoGP
“We are disappointed to see the inequality with which penalties are applied by the FIM MotoGP Stewards panel,” Jarvis was quoted as saying.
“We're dealing with high-powered smart people. And here we are having a mudslinging session in public, blaming the scapegoat that is Freddie Spencer, who is a legend and I will never disrespect Freddie Spencer. “If they [the Stewards] are not good enough, they should get shot of them. Michael Masi made that call that cost Lewis Hamilton an F1 championship, or gave Verstappen a championship. Whatever you want to say about his decision, the fact was that quietly and behind the scenes they dealt with it, moved him to one side and it was sorted.“Something like that needs sorting here, but then you get back to the fundamental problem. Racing is racing.
“It's a situation where the call was made by the FIM Stewards. If you don't like the Stewards’ call then you need to change the system - if that's not seen as working for the teams, the riders and everybody else.“I agree that Freddie Spencer's position has become untenable now. And if I was Freddie Spencer I would resign, just on principle, given the fact that I don't appear to have the trust of the riders or the teams now,” Huewen continued.
“It’s a greater thing than Freddie Spencer, and that's what annoys me when people fire off at Freddie. Freddie is analytical. He's a good guy. He's not biased in any way shape or form. He's doing the job as best he can, given the situation that he finds himself in, and he makes a call. “Freddie Spencer is doing a job to the best of his ability. Clearly, some riders are unhappy with him. Some of the calls he's made they don't like - riders are never happy!
“The question now is, what the sport is going to do to either replace the Stewards they've got or replace the system of penalties that they've got?
