Marc Marquez, the phoenix of MotoGP

Marc Marquez, the phoenix of MotoGP

2025 campaign MotoGP It will be remembered as the greatest story ever told by a living hero. Marc MarquezAfter years of surfing on the crest of a wave, he fell into a bottomless pit after breaking his arm and undergoing re-operation, before taking flight again like a phoenix and completing “La Reconquista” with his arms around the MotoGP Champions Tower, winning his seventh crown in the top category and joining Rossi in second place on the all-time list and ninth overall.

From 2013 to 2019, he won six of the seven possible MotoGP championships, qualifying thoroughly. and In 2020, he hit rock bottom after a racing crash in Jerez. At that time, he made a wrong decision in forcing his comeback, resulting in a fracture in his right arm, which required four surgeries over two years.

After recovering from my last surgery, it was time to break with the past (Honda) and look for a winning bike (Ducati). First he found it (for free) in the previous year’s GP, Gresini Satellite Team, and based on his results and determination, he has already qualified for 2025 with the official Ducati team on a black bike.

And at the age of 32, his gamble to “put everything in the red” earned him 11 wins, 3 seconds and 3 seconds in GP races, adding to his 14 wins and 2 seconds in the sprint race at the 18th Grand Prix in which he competed. With five GPs remaining, he became the MotoGP champion for the seventh time. In the next race, he was thrown by Marco Bezzecchi and broke his right shoulder, so he was unable to break his record.

It was a perfect year for Marc Marquez, with Alex Marquez taking second place. The brothers achieved a 1-2 finish in the MotoGP championship and also became the first athletes to complete six doubles in the race. Marco Bezzecchi finished in the top three in the championship in his first year with Aprilia.


The big losers were the outgoing champions and runners-up. Number 1 Jorge Martin did not survive his first year in Aprilia due to an accident and chain injury. He missed another 14th GP finish in Japan on Sunday. His teammate since 1993, Pecco Bagnaia, was never competitive in GP25, and his ability has diminished.

In addition to Alex Marquez, rookies Fermin Aldeguer and Raul Fernández took home their first MotoGP honors. The Spaniard added 16 of his 22 wins in MotoGP. The 45 points scored in the three categories is the second highest in Spanish history, just two points shy of the 2013 record.

In Moto2 Diogo MoreiraThe Brazilian, who has trained in Spain since the age of 12, won the Moto3 title in a duel with Spaniard Manu González. Jose Antonio Rueda He took the crown thanks to his 10 wins, in which he and Noah Dettweiler were the protagonists of one of the most brutal accidents of the year. The Spanish team finished in the top five in the championship, adding 21 wins out of 22 (they missed the game at Sepang and went to their hometown). In the lower categories, Brian Uriarte had an explosive performance, winning the Junior Grand Prix and the Red Bull Rookies Cup.

The cost of complaints in Formula 1 has increased 10 times

The FIA ​​has officially confirmed a significant increase in the cost of filing protests, appeals and requests for review in Formula 1 from the 2026 season. According to the new regulations, the contribution fee will increase from 2,000 Euros to 20,000 Euros and will be included in the teams’ budget limit.

The decision follows a wave of criticism after Red Bull made several protests against Mercedes driver George Russell during the 2025 season. After the Miami and Canadian Grand Prix both cases were dismissed by the stewards but caused delays and chaos in the paddock.

Russell and McLaren management have repeatedly emphasized that the upfront deposit is too low for teams with multimillion-dollar budgets. In their view, this encouraged speculative and tactical protests.

The FIA ​​says the new rules retain the right to appeal in the case of genuine infringements, but significantly increase financial liability for false complaints. This is expected to reduce the number of post-race disputes and make the protest procedure more balanced.

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.
