MotoGP – Yamaha waiting before celebrating Constructors Championship

Yamaha may have mathematically won the 2009 MotoGP ConstructorsChampionship, with Jorge Lorenzo’s win at Estoril, but the factory can’t celebrate due to the five engine limit rule that was implemented at the Brno round.
Using more than five engines could potentially mean that a manufacturer could lose points before the end of the season, but Yamaha is pretty safe because they’ve got a 167 point lead on second place Honda.

Initially it was to be the rider, who used more than the alloted engines would be punished with a 10 point penalty on his championship standings, but the rule was modified at Estoril and rider will now have to start at the back of the grid, while it will be the manufacturer who’ll have 10 points deducted from the constructors championship classification and you can imagine they’re not happy at all and have already starting bitching about it.

Satoru Nakajima from Yamaha is not happy, and we have no word from Ducati and Honda’s Shuhei Nakamoto talking to MCN has said: “I am really disappointed by this.

Only Honda is supplying six bikes, so we have more chance to have a problem.
Maybe we have to cut back our involvement.
”Honda will be supplying seven bikes next year with Daniel Epp’s team who’ll be running Hiroshi Aoyama.
Dorna, IRTA, MSMA and FIM wanted to cut costs so they introduced the engine rule, that next year will see only six engines for the entire 18 race season, but the rule has backfired on them and now they’re complaining.
Great going guys.
