David Alonso gives another championship lesson in Moto3’s agonizing finale
level of David Alonso in Moto3 It is one of the symbols of the birth of a star. The Colombian is a great leader in competition, including his performance in the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix. Thanks to the advantage of being at the top of the overall rankings, the Aspar Team rider did not have to take any risks and once again achieved a sublime victory in a hard-fought race at Misano. Angel Piqueras and Daniel Holgado. They have already won 8 out of 14 races and are 79 points behind the leader.. It is an affront to de facto control that is unprecedented in history.
Piqueras was hoping for a second consecutive victory, but David did not give in and had to settle for second place on the podium. Things were even worse for Holgado. GasGas driver exceeds track limits and is stripped of third place I support Colin Bager.
Furi maintained his pole position at the start, and the Japanese racers managed to maintain their position despite a turbulent start. Piqueras had a poor start from third, causing David Alonso to make contact with Ortola. Things were even worse for D.An eager Muñoz who crashed at the first chicane.
Despite all this, the leaders had already changed after only a few laps. Alonso wanted to outperform Furusato and stretch the group at his own pace. Also chasing hard from behind was Dani Holgado, who overtook the Colombian and took the lead after 17 laps with a very large group of 15 drivers in tow.
A brutal rhythm that destroys the group
In effect, the wheat was separated from the chaff, and with 14 laps to go, Angel Piqueras, winner of the previous event in Misano, took the lead. But there was no way to destroy the group. Such was the equality that even the slightest mistake could result in a change of leader. To overtake, drivers had to take a lot of risks, and there were times when collisions like the one between Furi and Adrian Fernandes almost happened.
Alonso, Holgado and Piqueras were the ones who didn’t move. Actually, these three people have the most rhythm, With nine laps remaining, the fastest lap of the race (1:40.6) was set. We can finally narrow down our winning candidates.
As there was no overtaking, the laps were very fast and only Weyer was able to catch up with the three. A fierce battle for victory was expected as the season opened with two laps remaining. Holgado hits Alonso with an ax in turn 14 And Piqueras stuck to him to defeat the Colombians.
But the Aspar team players had no intention of staying with their arms crossed. On the final lap, at Turn 8, he passed two riders on the back straight and took first place again. Then it was time to defend, and he defended perfectly as usual. Piqueras tried anyway, but the World Cup leader did not give in and achieved his eighth victory of the year.
Ivan Ortola had to pay the price for being left behind in the group, and by the time he finished fifth, his rivals were already far away from seeking victory. He finally beat out Lunetta and Kelso to make it into the top five.

According to reports in the Italian media, the Ferrari team has made a decision about race engineer Lewis Hamilton for the 2026 season.
Riccardo Adami has been working with the seven-time world champion since the Briton moved to the Scuderia in January 2025. But there were a few strange and resonant radio conversations between them throughout the season.
During the Australian Grand Prix, Hamilton appeared confused by the lack of information from his engineer, and at the Miami round he reacted strongly to the situation, issuing team orders and advising the team to “drink some tea” after Charles Leclerc refused to let him pass.
At the Monaco Grand Prix, Riccardo Adami asked Hamilton: “Are you mad at me?” There was another incident where he ignored her request. Ferrari later announced that the engineer had left the pit wall at that time.
A similar situation was repeated after the last race of the season. During the radio exchange, Hamilton thanked the team and the race engineer for their cooperation, but received no response. The Briton then asked if they had heard him and received an explanation that the team were talking to each other at the time.
At the end of the season, team principal Fred Vasser said the Scuderia would review Hamilton’s inner circle to improve their results. And it looks like the decision has already been made.
According to Italian publication Auto Racer, Ferrari has decided to retain Riccardo Adami as Hamilton’s race engineer for 2026. The most important reason for this was a “very positive” private dinner between the pilot and the engineer.
The team expects to take a serious step forward in 2026 in light of new technical regulations. Next season could be decisive for Hamilton because 2026 is considered the last year of his current contract with Ferrari.
His first season in the Scuderia was a difficult one for the Briton. Hamilton finished the championship in sixth place using the problematic SF-25 car, but lost 86 points to his teammate.
Hamilton went a season without a podium for the first time in his career, while Leclerc scored seven goals. Of particular concern was the seven-time champion’s deteriorating qualifying form later in the year.

Mercedes Formula 1 team president Toto Wolff believes that driver George Russell is ready to become a champion, but young Andrea Kimi Antonelli still needs time.
“Nobody knows how much power the Mercedes engine will have in 2026. We don’t know what the other teams’ engines will be like either. Is Russell ready to take the championship if given the right car? 100%, absolutely ready. There is nothing to add here. He is ready to be champion.”
“Antonelli is only 19 years old. What kind of peak are we talking about? He can be at the peak after 3-5 seasons. I believe we should give him this time to gain experience.”
“It’s moving in the right direction,” Wolff said.
F1 will have new technical regulations on engines and aerodynamics from the 2026 season.

Haas driver and Ferrari development program graduate Olliver Berman said his goal is to race in the Scuderia in the future and win victories with the red car.
The Briton was already racing for Ferrari at the 2024 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix when he replaced Carlos Sainz due to appendicitis. He has since made significant progress at Haas and will remain with the team at the start of the new season.
Berman congratulated Isak Hajar on his promotion to Red Bull and said:
“Yes, of course I’m a little jealous that he will be fighting for high results in a team like Red Bull. But I’m sure my time will come, too, and I’m very happy for that. We’ve been racing since Formula 3 and he has shown incredible talent and speed. It’s great that the new generation of drivers are being recognized and now both Kimi and Isak are in the top teams. That’s great. All you have to do is wait for your chance and it will definitely come.”
Berman said about his dream of competing for the Scuderia:
“This is definitely my dream. It motivates me to do my best and I get up every morning to do my best in everything I do. I want to perform in the red. I want to win in the red. That’s my life goal. I’ve been lucky enough to feel it once already and I know what it feels like, so I try to get back to that regularly.”
