Quartararo thinks Thailand has more options than Japan
Since the Japanese Grand Prix, the Grand Prix has launched a new media day modality, with a press conference with the title contenders and another press conference on highlights from the previous race. Frenchman Fabio Quartararo was one of the pivots in his first press conference at the Chang International Circuit in Buriram, the circuit where he played the starring role in his 2019 race in Thailand. It was the final step of the World Championship on the circuit. Pandemic. He entered Bagnaia with his 18 points and Aleix with his 25 points in Espargaro, but the memory of the gray race in Japan was still hanging in the air.
As Motegi recalls
“It was a frustrating race because we couldn’t overtake. The pace was very good but we were very stuck. At this circuit we managed the situation well enough to get a good result. In any case, I think rain or not, the first two sectors will be tough, but we will have a great result, but we are ready.”
where can i spend my time
“We can set times anywhere. In the braking zone we are pretty strong in the dry with the new chassis and we’ll see in the wet. At Motegi we were too aggressive and it didn’t work. Now in the wet it’s fine and smooth. And it didn’t work.”
water forecast
“I didn’t remember there was water in 2019. We have to do our best and try to find a rhythm like Motegi. I couldn’t
No technical improvements
“We have the same bike as at the beginning of the year, so there is nothing we can do. It has a powerful engine and they are undergoing a new evolution, so perhaps next year there will be more facilities.”
Difficulties in wet driving in MotoGP
“Last weekend at Motegi was tough. When the red flag came out after Pol Espargaro crashed, some riders were using used or new rubber. Another danger is: ‘aquaplaning’ and ‘spraying’ issues when we are behind other pilots”.
“Actually I’m riding alone so it’s not a problem, but in a race it’s dangerous when you’re behind other riders because you can’t see anything. I looked at the track today and it was raining like yesterday. “There are a lot of them, but I don’t think there will be any problems here either, but for better drainage.”

Formula 1 champion Nico Rosberg has weighed in on whether Lando Norris will follow in his footsteps and end his career in the sport early.
Norris joins a list of 35 drivers who have won the F1 championship in the championship’s 75-year history. But the Briton won his first title the hard way; Despite McLaren’s dominance in 2025, he lost to Oscar Piastri in the first half of the season and only defended the championship against Max Verstappen at the end of the season in Abu Dhabi.
Nico Rosberg shared his memories of his title and then unexpectedly retired at the age of 31.
He then embarked on a tough challenge with his partner Lewis Hamilton, in which the pilot required enormous physical and emotional resources.
Rosberg stated that Norris was unlikely to follow a similar path as he was much younger and had many more years in F1.
“Everyone chooses their own path. I felt that I had reached the top and wanted to leave the top. It was a great moment after a long career. For me personally, it was the right decision.”
I understand that many were disappointed because it was a great fight at the time. But in Lando’s case, I’m sure he’s not even thinking about such a thing. He still has many good years ahead of him and he is definitely younger than I was then,” Rosberg explained.

The Ferrari, Audi and Aston Martin teams have filed a joint lawsuit with the Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA) over the advantage that Mercedes and Red Bull may have in the 2026 season under the new technical regulations, The Race reports.
In 2026, Formula 1 will switch to new technical regulations, which provide for a reduction in the fuel compression ratio in power plants from 18:1 to 16:1. This indicator will be monitored off the track.
According to the source, Mercedes and Red Bull have found a way to pass the tests while maintaining the actual race compression ratio at 18:1. This could give teams an advantage of 0.3-0.4 seconds per lap.
— The regulations clearly define the maximum compression ratio and the method for measuring it, based on static conditions at ambient temperature. This procedure remains unchanged despite the reduction in the permissible compression ratio for 2026, the FIA said in a statement.
The FIA does not intend to change the regulations at least until the tests are carried out. Teams are allowed to update their power unit designs every six races of the season.

Max Verstappen shared his first impressions of the sound of the new generation Formula 1 power plants created according to the 2026 technical regulations.
Next season, the championship will see the most comprehensive changes to engine architecture since the introduction of turbo-hybrid units in 2014. The regulations foresee the abandonment of the MGU-H system, as well as a significant increase in the role of the electrical component; The ratio between the internal combustion engine and the electric motor will be 50 to 50.
Even though there is just over a month until the cars hit the track, Verstappen was pleased to hear the new engine was running.
Verstappen said: “It sounds good. Of course you hear it in the stands, but the sound is clear and pleasant. I don’t think anyone has specifically worked on the noise but it’s really good.” he said.
For the first time in its history, the Red Bull team is building its own power plant, working in partnership with the American automobile giant Ford.
Verstappen wants to challenge for the Formula One title again in the 2026 season after his tense championship defeat to Lando Norris this month. However, the Dutch pilot plans to take a break from F1 before the new season starts.
“I’m really looking forward to it – I really need it. I also want to make sure that everything I do within the program next year will be well prepared, especially the GT3 project. That’s the most important thing for me at the moment, that everything is in the right state,” summarized the pilot.
