SEPANG: Prima Pramac Racing's Jorge Martin urged the MotoGP authorities to either remove or revise the minimum tire pressure rule, which was enforced since August.
Martin agreed that the rule will compromise the quality of racing in the championship, especially next year.
The rule is in place to prevent teams from running pressures, which are too low that could potentially damage tires.
"Yes 100 per cent (will compromise racing). This year we have the warning and the penalties, but next year, it will compromise (racing) a lot because we will kickoff the race (season with these rules)," when asked on the issue during the post-race media scrum yesterday.
"We need to push the organisation to remove it or at least make it easier for the teams."
Martin finished fourth in the main race at the Petronas Grand Prix of Malaysia today, after struggling with front tire pressure issues.
"We started with a lower pressure than yesterday (sprint race) as we were trying to improve in this aspect (tire pressure management)," added Martin.
"But it was not enough and after six laps I was (almost) crashing in the corners. It was very difficult and frustrating as I could not push for the whole race.
"If the tire pressure is high but the (track) temperature is good it is not a problem, but with high temperatures it is a disaster."
But Martin, who now trails championship leader Francesco Bagnaia by 14 points, remains confident going into the final two rounds this year.
"We lost one point at the end of the week which is not that much. Sometimes I can recover by as much as 15 points," he said.
"If there are tracks where you can recover (points), Qatar and Valecia are them. Both sides can win or lose a lot of points.
"I'm confident. Let's try to recover and beat him in the next races."
The world championship next heads for the Losail International Circuit for the Qatar GP, which starts on Friday.
