Haze caused by f༺orest fires in Indonesia has caused ꦬair quality, and visibility, concerns for this weekend's Malaysian MotoGP at Sepang.

Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia have been plagꦫued by the haze for months, causing schools to be shut andꦇ the widespread use of respiratory masks.

Speaking to ltxcn.top in the pit lane at Sepang on Thursday, Do💧rna's managing director Javier Alonso said: "We have been in conversations with the people at the circuit for some time now. We knew about this problem. We thought🍌 it was going to blow away, but it's still here.

"So we requested the circuit to brin♉g some equipment to measure the [air quality] here, so we know the real situation. Because 🌸if you look on the internet for sure you will find somewhere that will tell you it is very bad to be here now.

"The si🦩tuation here, now, is that we are under 100, which is the moderate level of PSI - the Pollution Standards Index. At that level 🐠we are OK to be here and OK to do any type of activity.

"If the levels go very high, probably more than 150, we will have to take decisions. But according to what🌳 we know that should not happen. I cannot say for sure, because it's quite unpredictable, but today, yesterday and the day before the leve🌜ls have stayed the same.

"If it goes really wrong we will have to take decisions, but𒊎 today the situation is normal, and therefore the race will go ahead as normal."

As well as air quality, the oth🍒er haze issue is in terms of visibility for the medical helicopter.

"We have another possible problem, which is the visibility for the helicopter to fly," Alonso confirmed. "Tod🌞ay the helicopter arrived so it wasn't a problem. Here you need to see between 1-1.5km. It is not like Japan where you have to have visibility between 4-5km. It's much lower here and this is the regulation in Malaysia.

"We are monitoring this [visibility] sitಌuation both in the circuit and at the hospital every hour. Now ꦅwe are also checking by road how long it would take to transport an injured rider to hospital. They told us 30-35 minutes but we want to be sure they are right.

"If the time is 30-35 minutes then there is no problem to💝 use transportation by road, if there is not enoꦚugh visibility [for the helicopter].

"The forecast sa🧸ys there is a small chance of rain tomor🗹row and a big chance on Saturday. If it rains that will also help clear the haze."

Both the MotoGP and Moto3 titles could be decided at this weekend's penultimate even💞t of the season.
