Rossi's Yamaha boss scolded

Valentino Rossi got a reprimand from his boss at Yamaha after a fierce duel with Jorge Lorenzo in Motegi. Rossi action against his own teammate was called too aggressive and not appropriate.
In the Japanese MotoGP race on Sunday (03/10/2010) and then, Rossi insisted in giving tough competition to Lorenzo. Rossi did not provide opportunities for Lorenzo passed.
"I think Valentino's actions to Lorenzo in the race is not appropriate," said Yamaha Motor Racing Managing Director Lin Jarvis told GPone.com.
Rossi, who next season will move to Ducati, it was considered too aggressive. This, too, bear the risk of crashes, not only for themselves but also Lorenzo, who were trying to ensure his first world title.
"After the race, Jorge came to us and ask for opinions on the behavior of Rossi in the race. We were four, besides I also have (Masao), Furusawa and two others from Yamaha."
"We all agree with the fact that a duel between his own teammates as it does not make sense. We expect our drivers to race with a higher safety margin," said Jarvis.
After "meeting" was limited, Jarvis added, Furusawa also been directly asked him to find Rossi to take a different approach when the racing with colleagues at Yamaha.
"There is no real error (which is made Rossi), because if there is a definite direct authority to intervene. But a driver can be very aggressive or too aggressive. Valentino too aggressive."
"From a sporting spectacle, the race will probably be more boring and less spectacular (without the tough duel like that). But we do not want the drivers we ended up in the gravel. We expect the drivers of mutual respect," pleaded Jarvis.
2010 season still leaves four series, but Lorenzo could have been sure the title at this weekend's Malaysian MotoGP.
