Aleix Espargaro sets the pace at Aragon including crash, Marquez ‘on his own’

Aleix Espargaro (Aprilia RS-GP) set the pace for all rivals First free practice session of the Motorland Aragon Grand Prix In between included falls without consequences, in which his compatriot Marc Marquez (Repsol Honda RC 213 V) focused on running ‘on his own’, sometimes finishing in the top 10 but ultimately finishing 11th.

Espargaro was one of the first leaders in the category, in fact the first and last, with the fastest lap on lap 6, Italy’s ‘Pecco’ Bagnaia, just 1/12,000th of a second behind. . Quartararo (Yamaha YZR M 1) was a bit difficult to get up to speed and part of the session was spent testing the new chassis on his bike.

Eventually, Quartararo finished eighthbetween Portugal’s Miguel Oliveira (KTM RC 16) and his teammate Italy’s Franco Morbidelli.

And Aleix Espargaro, who crashed 20 minutes into the session going wide at Turn 16 and was unable to avoid a fall, had no physical consequences. Time stayed at the top of the table, in fact, until the end of the session, as no one lowered that record throughout the session.

It was also novel to see the British Cal Crutchlow On the Yamaha YZR M1 of Italian Andrea Dovizioso, who decided to retire from competition after the Misano Adriatico race, he seemed to quickly get the hang of the bike he had tested on numerous occasions.

ghost Marc Marquez His approach was clear, but his would-be teammate took on the physical effort in the best possible way. Next season for the team, Joan Mir, also of Spain, wanted to see and take control of his Suzuki GSX RR.

Mir had several “fears” for Suzuki. However, finishing 17th at the end of the session was not a big deal.

Espargaro and Bagnaia were followed by Suzuki’s Alex Rins at the finish, followed by Takaaki Nakagami (Honda RC 213 V), Johann Zarco (Ducati Desmosedici GO22) and Italian Enea Bastianini (Ducati Desmosedici GOP21). .

The second direct classification, the last place qualified for tenth place, went to Italy’s Luca Marini, ahead of Marc Márquez, who was pleased with how the session unfolded.

The season finale and Monaco’s failure will be shown. Where are the most overtakes in F1?

The Formula 1 2025 season was full of competition and transitions. Although fewer in number than last year and fans and drivers not always able to enjoy the action on track, there were still plenty of genuine overtakes.

On some routes there were very few, as expected. The fewest overtakes took place in Monaco; There were only four overtakes during the entire race. And most of them were at the season finale, the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix – 60th.

Below is the exact number of actual overtakes on each stage; this number does not take into account position changes on pit road during the first lap as the driver exits or exits the track. The chart only reflects actual overtaking on the motorway.

VIDEO. Mercedes leader at a loss for words because of Leclerc’s behavior

Mercedes driver George Russell received a rather unusual Christmas gift from Charles Leclerc as part of Secret Santa.

The Briton received a chart showing his overtakes at the Dutch Grand Prix, arguably one of the most exciting moments of the season.

After unwrapping the gift, Russell said: “Look at him. He’s such a nice guy. He can only overtake illegally, so that’s all he has going for him – taking people off the track. I’m speechless to be honest.”

When asked if he wanted to wish Leclerc a Merry Christmas, the British driver playfully added:

“He doesn’t deserve this. Maybe I’ll give him another photo of Kimi knocking him out of the race and remind him of what happened a few laps later. Thank you Charles. Thank you for nothing.”
