Mark Marquez returns as his favorite of the Talisman Circuit
Mark Marquez (Ducati Desmosedici Gp25) is back this weekend.the American Kota (American circuit) in Austin, will be played as a big favorite of the victory, with the MotoGP America Grand Prix being performed.
Marquez doesn’t know what it’s like to be second in this great start in 2025. There is one of the circuits that best suit Austin’s pilot characteristics This is because they achieved successive successive victories from 2013 to 2018 and in 2021 along with Saxenling, Germany.
In 2019 and 2023 he was surpassed by Alex Lynsfirst as a Suzuki pilot and later as representative of the Honda Escadelia del Italy Norcio Secchinello, was the Italian Enabustian Ninni (Ducatides Modicci GP22) who beat him in 2022, and in 2024 he was Spain’s Maverick Vinares at the RS-GP Aprilia.
Although Mark Marquez achieved a victory in 2021, a significant decline in Jerez de la Frontera’s career during the 2022 pandemic led him to his first performance of the race, when he settled primarily the eight years of motorcycle performance that year, and in 2019 he fell in turn in his first performance of the race.
Things are very different this early in 2025 as Mark Marquez arrives at the winning Talisman circuit. So far, even the Ducati workshop itself is because the nerves before the first advantage of the Spanish champions have already sounded all the alarms, thanks to the near-perfect performance that revolutionized all the chicken coop revolutions (workshops from other manufacturers).
First influenced by his own teammate, Italian and double champion of Motogpu’s Francesco “Pecco” Bagnaia, has already warned of the possibility of returning to the 2024 Desm Secki prototype after his Argentine career. In Austin, the unknowns become clear, but it shows that everything will happen, at least until the motorcycle evolution last season is more hands.
And this is a personal thanks. Perhaps he found that there was too much to simulate the pilot style of his teammates in telemetry data. That’s his main mistake. Apart from his brother Alex Marquez, it appears that he has “copied” the style of Mark Marquez a few times.
Bagnaia is not the only “victim” of the beginning of Marc Marquez’s season, as Pedro “Shark” Acosta (KTM RC 16) also expects a leap of quality. This has not happened at this point in passing to the official team. Rather, pilots at Mazaron Port have made public their discomfort at multiple occasions with the evolution of motorcycles.
Even though I say that The arrival of the Grand Prix in America only included the “War Foot” of all participants The Championship knows that due to the conditions the Spanish champion is experiencing at the beginning of 2025, they are aiming for a scenario where they beat it on the track, if not impossible, except for errors and breakdowns.
Try it and the first on the list is his own brother, Alex Marquez. He knows him well because he trains, lives and does almost everything together, but he himself realizes that when Mark looks like he is today, he is almost invincible.
Still, while Alex Marquez was the only person who could finish all “sprint” races and big awards just behind his brothers and lend a career from time to time, he appears to complicate stopping the eight-time world champion in motorcycling.
After Alex Marquez, the responsibility for defeating the championship leader falls into his own teammate, “Pecco” Bagnaia.
Along with them a little behind, he was also Morbidelli’s teammate Fabio di Giannantonio of Italy, whose initial injury prevented him from doing it to the greatest extent.
Until now, all the rivals Marc Marquez has to face are Ducati pilots, but it’s time to refer to the Frenchman Johann Salco.
The Moto2 world champion came in fifth place with a high achievement at the Thai Grand Prix, and was on the way to achieve another excellent result in the best category of his debut season, but won the floor, all leaving behind the imprint and Honda.
And after him, in the 11th position in the championship, he was Spain’s Joan Mir in 2020 and Motogue’s world champion, and if he was critical of the official sling performance in the previous season, he would be far more satisfied and ambitious with this, but the outcome did not accompany him as needed.
Similar things happened about the RS-GP Aprilia on Blood Binder in South Africa with KTM RC 16 handlebars and Italian Marco Betzecchi.
While both Binder and Bezzecchi are expected to deliver great results from the manufacturer, there is a way to enable the prototype to present the “almighty” motorcycles from the Burgus Panigale manufacturers.
Additionally, they are referents like Joanne Mir and the official Honda pilot, Italian Luca Marini, and bells to the handlebars of Frenchman Fabio Cartaro’s Yamaha YzrM1. Trackhouse Escudería.

PHOTOGRAPH. Legendary F1 circuit undergoes changes ahead of start of 2026 season
Suzuka Circuit is preparing for the 2026 Japanese Grand Prix; Large-scale asphalt renewal works have started on the track before the new Formula 1 season.
The Japan circuit has been home to F1 for many years and is considered one of the most difficult and favorite tracks among drivers. High speeds, technical configuration and variable weather conditions have repeatedly made Suzuka the venue for iconic championship moments.
The 2026 stage is scheduled for March 29 and will be the third stage in the season calendar.
The western part of the track, including the iconic Spoon Corner, is now completely closed. A new layer of asphalt was laid, which should change the properties of the coating.
The new surface is expected to have a low level of grip at the beginning of the weekend, but grip will gradually increase as the rubber accumulates; this can significantly affect the cars’ settings.

Did everything change suddenly? Red Bull driver reveals details of his F1 departure
Yuki Tsunoda admitted that on the eve of Red Bull’s official decision, he heard rumors that he would retain his place in Formula 1 within the Red Bull system, but the truth turned out to be completely different.
Before the last stage of the season in Abu Dhabi, it was announced that Isak Hajar will replace the Japanese in 2026. Racing Bulls duo will be Liam Lawson and Arvid Lindblad. As a result, Tsunoda will move into the role of Red Bull’s reserve and test driver at the start of the new era.
Tsunoda was informed about the team’s 2026 plans after the Qatar Grand Prix and, according to him, was already mentally preparing for his reserve role. But shortly before the official meeting, he heard completely different information.
“I was told of the decision after the race in Qatar, but it was not taken seriously at first,” Tsunoda said.
“I was prepared for this scenario, but the news was different from what I had heard before, so it surprised me.”
The Japanese also noted that the decision could change at the last minute:
“I heard before the briefing that the whole thing could literally be replayed. There were many reasons for this, of course. But when they told me I wouldn’t have a permanent position next year it didn’t feel like the end of the world.”
“Abu Dhabi was ahead, so I immediately focused on the next race.”
Despite the disappointment of moving to the reserve driver position, the driver hinted that his role at Red Bull could be broader than the standard job of reserve driver.
“There is a possibility that my duty will not be limited to simulator and reserve pilot status,” Tsunoda said.
I’ve already heard a few possible scenarios. “I’ll rest for now and then start preparing for next season.”

Mercedes explains how Hamilton’s move to Ferrari affected the team
Mercedes director of track engineering Andrew Schoulin commented on Lewis Hamilton’s impact on the car’s development a year after his departure.
Hamilton and Mercedes have formed the most successful partnership in F1 history, winning six drivers’ championships and eight constructors’ championships between 2014 and 2021.
But at the end of 2024, the Briton opted to switch to Ferrari, and in 2025 this turned out to be unsuccessful: Hamilton failed to reach the podium in a single Grand Prix.
The 40-year-old champion was replaced by Kimi Antonelli, who made significant progress alongside the experienced George Russell.
With his departure, Hamilton left the team leadership role to Russell. This allowed Antonelli to adapt to F1 without the pressure of being responsible for car feedback, although Shovlin stressed that his communication about the car was of a high standard.
“Honestly, George is fine. The important thing is that we don’t develop the car based solely on what the pilot says,” Shovlin said.
“Most of the work comes from simulations: we look for downforce, the stability of the car, we reduce aerodynamic drag and tune the suspension to ensure the car falls into the best aerodynamic window.
So most decisions are not based on the pilot saying “I need this” and we rush to find a solution. But it is very useful to have a consistent pilot like George. He knows these cars within those rules, so we didn’t have to worry about losing our mark in the development of the car.”
“Kimi also describes the behavior of the car perfectly, so there were no problems in that regard. The main thing is that we had a fantastic collaboration with Lewis and a lot of success, and then he decided to try a new challenge at Ferrari.”
“We always looked at Kimi as the future of the team and a training year was inevitable. We fully embraced that and overall I think it went well.”
