After the latest Concession Checkpoint (Checkpoint 3), the FIM has determined that both BMW and Ducati have exceeded the performance threshold defined in Article 2.4.3.2 of the regulations. As a result, both manufacturers will now face a revised Fuel Flow penalty.

In accordance with the newly introduced linear penalty algorithm (in place since Checkpoint 2), BMW’s and Ducati's Performance Threshold values have surpassed the limit, triggering an increased fuel flow restriction. Specifically, both manufacturers will now receive a Fuel Flow Limit penalty of 1.5 kg/h, raised from the previous 1.0 kg/h, reflecting a stronger overperformance relative to the balanced field.

The updated system replaces the former step-based model with a proportional, continuous scale of penalisation, with penalties applied linearly between -0.250 and -1.000:

Minimum penalty (-0.250): 0.5 kg/h
Maximum penalty (-1.000): 1.5 kg/h
Formula: Fuel Flow Penalty = Performance Threshold × 1.5

These penalties are cumulative and remain in place unless recovered through improved relative performance, as defined in the same article.
