the pilot complains
Aleix Espargaro Pointing out the personal toll that so many races take on the mechanics: “I’m a MotoGP rider and I have the good fortune to be on the Aprilia team, so it’s more difficult for the mechanics and others.” My family is like this, I just need to organize myself with my wife and children’s school and travel with them. will be tough in many races outside of Europe, and by the time the MotoGP riders retire, it will be in great decline.
“I feel it will get worse. 2024 will be even worse. There are a lot of countries outside of Europe that are interested in the championship. In the future, I would like to do one or two more races in America. This is just the beginning of the ‘apocalypse’ as there are 4 races in Spain and no more than 1 race in Italy is not supported. ”
Marc Marquezfor his part, joked about the issue of mediation: “I don’t have a partner, no kids, nothing. Well, I like that[laughs]. What do you want me to tell you? Sure he wouldn’t like it very much but it’s true I’m in favor of going to another country, another culture, fans because it’s important for the factory and the championship season There are many races in a row at the end, and a small injury can be a catastrophe, so you should be within 21, 20, or 22 races at most in the future.

Mercedes driver reacts to Norris’ first championship: I was jealous before
Mercedes driver George Russell said he was sincerely pleased with Lando Norris’ first Formula 1 championship, which he won in Abu Dhabi on the final stage of the season. According to Russell, he may have been jealous of his compatriot’s success at a younger age, but his views have now changed.
Norris became world champion, just two points ahead of Max Verstappen, despite a strong comeback from the Red Bull driver, who was looking to capture his fifth consecutive title.
Russell and Norris have known each other well since the teenage series; In particular, they fought for the Formula 2 championship won by Russell in 2018. Both made their Formula 1 debuts in 2019, but it was Norris who was first to top the championship.
Russell emphasized that he did not feel any jealousy after the McLaren driver’s victory.
“I’m very happy for him. Maybe when I was younger and less mature, I would have been jealous of my rival and compatriot winning the championship.
But as you get older, you realize how difficult it is to maintain a high level in this sport.”
Both Britons have become leaders of their teams over the years; Russell is at Mercedes, Norris is at McLaren. At the same time, while the Brackley team has been in decline in recent seasons, it was McLaren who were able to offer a car that could fight for the championship before Mercedes.
Russell also noted the importance of not missing a rare chance to compete for the championship and praised Norris for withstanding the pressure.
“We never know when our chance will come. I’m sure he didn’t know that opportunity would come this year.”
He showed an incredible performance, especially in the second half of the season. I’m happy for him, he deserves it,” Russell concluded.

Drivers choose the best Formula 1 driver of 2025
Max Verstappen received his fifth consecutive Formula 1 Driver of the Year award despite being one step away from his fifth consecutive championship title in the 2025 season.
All but four riders participated in the anonymous survey, traditionally conducted among peloton pilots. According to the results, the Red Bull driver was ahead of the new world champion Lando Norris.
Drivers compiled their own top 10 using the standard Formula 1 points system. Verstappen secured first place with 25 points in six different votes.
Norris, who won his first championship after a difficult season, came second in the referee voting for the second time in a row.
McLaren secured the drivers’ title by enduring serious pressure from Verstappen and teammate Oscar Piastri in one of the most interesting seasons of recent years.
Third in the rankings was George Russell, up one place from last year. The Mercedes driver had a strong season, claiming two wins and seven podium finishes.
Piastri improved his position by one place and finished fourth, although his championship ambitions diminished in the autumn. At one point in the season the Australian was 34 points ahead of his rivals.
Rounding out the top 5 was Charles Leclerc, who dropped two places despite getting the most out of the Ferrari SF-25. The Monegasque achieved seven podiums and the Scuderia finished the season in fourth place in the Constructors’ Championship.
Carlos Sainz retained sixth place after an impressive recovery for Williams. Despite a difficult start for Grovey, the Spaniard managed to reach the podium twice in the second half of the season.
Fernando Alonso rose two places to seventh with his strong performance behind the wheel of the Aston Martin AMR25.
The eighth place was taken by Alex Albon, who had his best season at Williams. The top ten is rounded out by newcomers Oliver Berman and Isak Hajjar, who are known for their strong debut seasons.
It is noteworthy that Lewis Hamilton was not included in the voting for the first time since the beginning of this rating, which reflects the British pilot’s difficult first season with Ferrari.
Nico Hulkenberg, Lance Stroll and Yuki Tsunoda also did not participate in the survey.
