Pepe Marti and Red Bull pass another test?
Pepe Marti comes from exceeding attention Baccalaureate and the selectivity Despite the difficulty of the chosen subjects of chemistry, physics and technology, despite the added complexity of combining the rigorous study with the high demands of training as a pilot. He is used to passing exams.and probably silverstone For now, with his notes, he had to face another challenge in his piloting career, this time on the asphalt.
This Saturday morning, the pilot Sabadellof 18 yearsI was absolutely focused on shining on the track again in the race classification. F1 British Grand Prix. I wasn’t thinking of anything else. But as the MD found out, she was surprised to receive an unexpected phone call. Helmut Marko had hoped to meet him before ‘qualifying’ for the British F3 World Cup, but no meeting was scheduled. It was impromptu. It was before the moment when the tension as “Quarry” who bet on the future will rise to the maximum. Everyone in the paddock already knows Helmut Marko. An advisor to Red Bull and head of the team’s young pilot program, he usually puts his students at risk during moments of maximum pressure. Was this one of those moments too?
The meeting was more of a chat and lasted just over five minutes. But the key was in the moment it ran. Shortly after, Pepe finished a difficult weekend in Austria and Helmut Marko reminded him of his interest in Pepe, so no more mistakes were allowed and Campos was forced to fight for pole position in ‘qualifying’. I had to ride the team’s F3. Many people would have trembled with the steering wheel in their hands. Pepe, meanwhile, lowered the visor of his helmet and did his best.
He did it perfectly on track. As if the team had told them their strategy was to throw the last ball of the match into the basket, Pepe was told he had to throw away a good lap, pit, and at the end he had to bet everything and bet everything. Nothing was guaranteed They were going to take the risk So Pepe put in an excellent final set, moving from 13th at Silverstone to third, three tenths off pole position. Pepe shined when the steering wheel burned the most. Just a few moments after an important talk about your future. You’ve probably passed the all-important litmus test. Maybe there are more. And perhaps without this demo interest in Red Bull might have waned. It wasn’t.
Austria, a very difficult weekend: asthma and the death of a friend
Pepe Marti has already made it clear that he cannot handle the pressure after taking his first pole position at Sunday’s race and winning in Barcelona. After that, he was first spotted talking to Helmut Marko on the terrace of Red Bull. And since MD was able to learn, Mercedes and Alpine also asked about Catalan. He had to keep the pressure on for his next appointment in Austria, where everything was against him.
Pepe arrived at the Red Bull Ring exhausted with a bad cold that caused asthma. That’s how he had to drive. despite this, He led Saturday’s short race in wet conditions and finished sixth until the track dried. And on Sunday he moved up to 9th place. But Pepe didn’t emphasize it after the race, saying only that he needed to polish his mistakes. Tuesday he came home devastated. Physically.But the psychic above all else has had to hear the sad news of his friend’s death since last weekend. Dilano Wand Hof He has shared many moments during his time on the karting.
Afterwards, already recovering from a heavy blow, he knew he could not fail in England. In the middle of a title fight, he had to give his best performance in front of a lot of people. Your future is in danger. surrendered. He passed an important qualifying examination. Now, Marti, who started 10th on the reverse grid in a potentially waterlogged race this Saturday and 3rd in the long event this Sunday, wants to keep knocking on the doors of a great academy. ing.

New F1 champion names motorsport legends who helped him
2025 Formula 1 champion Lando Norris admitted that private messages and personal meetings with legends such as Lewis Hamilton, Sebastian Vettel and four-time MotoGP champion Casey Stoner played an important role in the championship fight.
Norris has spoken about the support he has received ahead of the decisive stages of the season.
“I have received so many powerful words of encouragement, messages and speeches from incredible people who are world champions in a variety of sports, from Lewis, Seb and many more.
Many people don’t know that I communicate with Seb. Some, especially Casey Stoner, wrote me a quick message just when I needed it most: “Think about this, believe in yourself, do this, do that.” That really helped me get back on track.”
Norris’ title chances were in serious jeopardy following the recent rise of Red Bull’s Max Verstappen. However, McLaren’s successful strategy in Abu Dhabi on the final stage of the season allowed the Briton to finish third at the Yas Marina Circuit and formalize the championship title.
An important component of success was the pilot’s psychological resilience. Norris made mistakes throughout the 2025 season that could have cost him the title, but he managed to withstand the pressure while his teammate Oscar Piastri succumbed to the pressure at key moments of the season.
Norris concluded: “When you win the championship by just two points, I’m sure that the faith and support of the people around me brought me these two points. That’s why I’m grateful to everyone, because sometimes you only need two points to win the championship.”

McLaren pilot: “I’m just hungry. I’m ready to drive in 2026”
McLaren pilot Oscar Piastri said that he was approaching the 2026 season with double motivation after winning his first Formula 1 championship and losing to his teammate Lando Norris.
While the Australian pilot completed the unsuccessful second half of the season in third place in the general classification, 13 points behind Norris, he gained a 34-point advantage after the Dutch Grand Prix in Zandvoort.
After the Dutch stage, it appeared that the situation was completely under Piastri’s control. But a crash in Azerbaijan, as well as a series of poor performances in Austin, Mexico City and Brazil, slowly destroyed his title ambitions.
As a result, although the Australian player regained the pace he showed at the beginning of the championship at the end of the season, he did not have enough distance to close the gap in the final stages in Qatar and Abu Dhabi.
While McLaren attributes Piastri’s difficulties primarily to tracks with low grip, at other tracks the driver has traditionally looked much stronger.
Despite the disappointment of missing out on the title, Piastri gained valuable experience against Norris and Max Verstappen, giving him confidence ahead of attacking the title again in 2026.
“I’m just hungry and ready for it. Of course, I’m waiting for a few weeks to get some rest and not think about racing.”
However, many new things await us when we return to work; significant changes to cars and engines.
You never know how you’re going to start the season with such a big update to the rules, but I trust the people around me.
“Personally, he has a lot of confidence in me this season; I’m ready to use this experience in 2026, regardless of the car.”

MotoGP Ducati coach Gigi Dall’Igna: “Marc Marquez’s limitation was that he took risks that were unnecessary”
Gigi Dall’Igna He was one of the men who put his hand in the fire when he made the decision. Marc Marquez instead of Jorge Martin as a friend Pecco Bagnaia inside the box ducati official. But just one year later he was proven right. The Cervera native returned to the top of the motorcycling world with a landslide victory in the Desmosedici GP25.
Indeed, in recognition of this return to the top, DAZN released the documentary Volver, in which Ducati’s sports director reflects on the fact that Marc always pushes himself to the limit. Even when you don’t need to. And Dariña sees this as one of Marc Márquez’s few weaknesses thus far.
”His limitation is that he may take risks even when it is not necessary. If there had been a little more clarity, for example, some mistakes could have been avoided at some point,” Dall’Iña argued.
In this sense he also said: Marco RigamontiHe made his debut as a truck engineer for Marquez in 2025. For Italians, this exploration of boundaries is a trait that has brought them great success in the past.
“He always said this.I want to be remembered as someone who gave everything.. It shows on the track as he always pushes the bike to the maximum and always tries. He is not afraid to make decisions that go against the flow.. Moreover, he knows that if he makes a choice at the last moment that surprises the other drivers, it could give him an advantage,” Rigamonti said.
After becoming champion, Marquez was involved in an accident at the Indonesian Grand Prix and was forced to undergo surgery to recover from a shoulder blade injury. Just a few days ago, he was able to get back on a flat track motorcycle and is currently continuing to heal his right shoulder.
The goal, as Marc himself has reiterated both actively and passively, is to take part in the February test at Sepang. He doesn’t want to miss the start of the 2026 preseason.
