After the race, Quartararo and Miller were asked about an incident that happened when the Yamaha and Ducati stars were battling on track. At Turn 1 on Lap 2, Miller passed Quartararo up the inside after the latter had touched the white line on the exit of the final corner, causing him to have a poor run onto the home straight. However, the 2021 Champion’s wider, sweeping line allowed him to get on the throttle earlier on the exit of Turn 1. Contact was then made, with Miller eventually holding onto P2 going into Turn 2 around the outside.
