Mark Marquez’s Ducati problem for curve 2: “We threw almost the weekend”
Marc Márquez continues to expand the legend with MotoGP 2025. Cervera pilots took the conpotastable Double at the Hungary Grand Prix, held at the demanding Balaton Park, signed pole positions, turning the advantage into victory in both Saturday and Sunday sprint races. These results have already accumulated 14 consecutive victories between Saturday and Sunday, but in addition to 18 consecutive victories, it follows the podium that integrates the domain at the Ducati des Mocecci GP25.
The numbers speak for themselves. So far, Marquez has presented 93% of his victory and 100% of his podium in the sprint races. On Sunday, it wasn’t too late: 71.5% win and 86% of the podium presence. A performance that ensures that Ducati’s commitment to the eight-time world champion is correct.
However, it twists in just a few seconds on weekends. It all happened in curve 2 in the first round on Sunday when Marquez was surprised by the traces of Marco Betzecchi in April. Contacts damaged the front wing section on the right side of the Ducati. This is a set-off that checks the pilot’s performance. Potting the motorcycle with a broken “winglet” means losing the stability of the front train and compromising the curved speed.
Nevertheless, Marquez returned and provided a sample of his ability to adapt. He adjusted his pilot style and with determination to characterize him, he was able to maintain control until he crossed the goal in his first position. The pilot himself acknowledged how close he was to everything being ruined, but the victory had a special taste in the additional difficulty.
“In the first curve, I was sure because I saw Bezzecchi inside and that I could do a complete curve through the inside, but I didn’t know how much control the situation was.
This incident remained anecdote, but it helps us remember that every detail is important, even in Marquez’s absolute territory in MotoGP. The next appointment for the Motorcycling World Cup is scheduled for September 5th, 6th and 7th at the Barcelona-Catalonia circuit.

New F1 team boss: “I am very happy that we chose Ferrari engines”
Cadillac team boss Grim Loudon has said the team will use a fully legal engine for the 2026 season, following controversy over Mercedes’ engine cheating allegations.
During the winter months, Mercedes, and possibly Red Bull, reportedly found a way to increase the engine compression ratio above the new 16:1 limit while the cars were on track. Moreover, during measurements made in boxes at normal temperatures, turning the compression to 16:1 provided an increase in power. At the Melbourne round it was estimated that this time could go up to 0.3 seconds per lap, or up to 17.4 seconds over the 58-lap circuit.
The new player in the championship, Cadillac, will be a customer of Ferrari and the team has already run the engine at Silverstone.
“I am very pleased and confident that we have a completely legal engine,” Loudon said.
“In these engines, combustion is not allowed to occur at a compression ratio of more than 16 to 1.
Without going into detail, we know that Ferrari complies fully with the rules and this gives us great confidence.We work and support our engine partner at the maximum level in terms of performance. We are extremely pleased with the cooperation.
I can’t speak for other people’s engines or how others interpret the rules. But for me everything is extremely clear; everything is black and white.”
I have worked with Ferrari many times before; they are great partners. This is a legendary name in Formula 1. “All the people on this team are true racers, and we’re excited to welcome them to the Cadillac team.”

Formula 1 2026 Pre-Season Testing Program in Spain
Formula 1’s first pre-season tests before the 2026 season start on Monday, January 26, at the Barcelona-Catalunya circuit.
Due to the introduction of new regulations regarding powertrains and active aerodynamics, this year’s testing program starts earlier than usual ahead of the season’s opening race in Melbourne.
Instead of one three-day test, there will be three separate testing sessions before the Australian Grand Prix. The first of these will be a five-day closed test in Barcelona.
Testing will take place from January 26 to 30, but each team will only be allowed to practice on three of the five days.
While McLaren and Ferrari confirmed that they will not be on the track on the first day of testing, Williams will miss the Barcelona session completely after its decision to withdraw.
Daily races will take place between 10:00 and 18:00 Kyiv time. If weather conditions are suitable, work on the runway may be extended for another hour.
