Bezzecchi vs. Marquez battle continues: ‘I was going to tell him what I think’

Marc Marquez He is one of the most loved drivers in the paddock, but he also has his fair share of ‘enemies’. One of them is definitely Marco Bezzecchi got into a fight at the last Valencia Community Grand Prix.

Already on the first lap there was an incident that ended with the Italian falling to the ground. The Ducati man was not pleased with the fact that ’93’ did not face any sanction and harshly criticized the six-time MotoGP world champion. ”Unfortunately the race was too short for me. Marquez decided to end my race at the third corner.He did the same thing to me in turns 5 and 6 as he did in Thailand.I said, “72.”

But that’s not all. Bezzecchi reported, “He hit me in the back.”. The problem was that this time he hit me harder, causing me to fall. Plus, he has quite a bit of pain in his left leg and left shoulder (…) His driving style is something that doesn’t require much explanation. The best part was that the accident was not repeated. It was very, very dirty. I think the only way to understand it is from a helicopter image. But you know, it’s Marc Marquez.So no one did anything to him”.

Marquez didn’t like these words, but he responded forcefully. ”I’m not going to waste my time with this character.He came to the track and he would make inappropriate comments. I think he’ll regret what he said in the truck, but once he’s older. This made the action clear in the first round. If you try to stay on the outside to pass back in Turn 4, you may lose. New paragraph.”

Well, there seems to be no end to the melodrama. Italians mentioned the topic again After the pre-season test in Cheste.

“I don’t want to talk about it, and I don’t want to talk about it because we talked about private things with each other. But I read that I said some really awful things, things that I would never have said, but I didn’t do those things.“He explained.

“Of course I told him what I thought, you all know how I feel. I told him what I thought and what I thought I should say in that moment.he did the same to me. But I’ve read some really ugly things that I wouldn’t say even to my worst enemy,” he added, reflecting on the importance of saying things to your face.

”I’m not that kind of person, but I am someone who has the courage to go and tell him what I think.. “That’s what I do with everyone, I say what I think and I don’t care about the comments, but reading those unpleasant things was a bad experience for me and I don’t want to It wasn’t necessary. That’s not true.”

“I do it honestly. To me, false kindness is bullshit. In my opinion, it’s not right. We have to say things like they are. We’re all competitors. It is clear that there is always competition, Not everyone will be nice to you, and you won’t get along with everyone, but it’s even worse to be seen pretending to get along.” he concluded… for now.

Not Norris or Verstappen. F1 legend makes shocking prediction for 2026

Not Norris or Verstappen. F1 legend makes shocking prediction for 2026

Legendary Formula 1 pilot Heinz-Harald Frentzen expressed an unexpected opinion about who will win the championship title in the 2026 season.

Frentzen raced in F1 from 1994 to 2003, competing for five different teams: Sauber, Williams, Jordan, Prost and Arous. But despite countless appearances, he was never at the right place and time to compete for the title.

In the fourth season, Frentzen became vice-champion of the Jordanian team, losing only to teammate Jacques Villeneuve after Michael Schumacher was disqualified in the final standings. This remains his best result in his career.

Just before the start of the 2026 season, as 11 teams prepared to subject their cars to new technical regulations, 58-year-old Frentzen published an unexpected prediction on social media.

Frentzen’s former Jordan teammate Damon Hill asked him at “X” who would win the title in 2026, and Frentzen replied:

“Fernando Alonso.”

Two-time champion Fernando Alonso is preparing to start his 23rd season in Formula 1, his fourth with Aston Martin. The team was actively preparing for the 2026 season by investing all the necessary resources in the car and inviting the best experts from Mercedes, Red Bull, Ferrari and other teams. Among the main experts is the legendary engineer Adrian Newey.

F1 driver: “We do not have the necessary tools to be the best team”

F1 driver: “We do not have the necessary tools to be the best team”

Aston Martin pilot Lance Stroll said that the team does not yet have enough cars to be the best team in Formula 1.

The Silverstone team recently hired legendary engineer Adrian Newey as team principal and plans to become a championship contender in the future.

Newey initially joined as technical managing partner, overseeing operations ahead of F1 regulation changes in 2026, but it was announced that he would replace Andy Cowell as team principal at the end of 2025.

It’s an unusual position for Newey, but the team hopes to move on from 2026. Newey and Enrico Cardile are just two of the big names drawn to top-flight Aston Martin.

The team includes two-time world champion Fernando Alonso and experienced Lance Stroll, who is starting his 10th season.

However, at the end of last year, Stroll remained cautious about the team’s future:

“That’s a big question for everyone. Nobody knows what each team will look like in Melbourne at the start of the season.”

Of course, we don’t have all the tools to be a top team and there is no point in hiding behind that, but time will tell how strong we are.

It is exciting for us to move forward with brand new people and structure, and new regulations. “As a team, we are looking forward to the season,” Stroll said.

The first F1 team has revealed its design for the 2026 season. Will the style change?

Racing Bulls introduced the new team jersey for the 2026 season.

The kit’s design includes hints of Ford blue, a nod to Red Bull’s partnership with the American automaker to develop a new power unit to be used by both teams.

The general concept and color scheme of the new uniform is very similar to last year’s solution. This suggests that we should not expect any serious changes in the color outlook this year. So is there any need for these? After all, Formula 1 called the Racing Bulls’ uniform the most beautiful in 2025 when it was first introduced.
