Photos of Australia’s run-down Bagnaia and images of Ducati guru Dall’Igna looking away: “I was a passenger, that’s all”

Pecco Bagnaia We are in an extreme situation. While it seemed like rock bottom had hit rock bottom in Mandalika, the situation is just as dire, or even further down, on Phillip Island. The Italian took second-last place in the MotoGP Australian Grand Prix sprint, finishing 32 seconds behind the winner.Marco Bezzecchi, in just 13 laps.

only Michele PirroThe rider who replaced Marc Marquez in the official Ducati box finished behind him and very close to him. They told us in Japan that two red bikes would round out the later Race 2 Grand Prix, but we would think that was a joke.

For the same reason, When Pecco entered the Ducati box, the image said it all. The two-time MotoGP champion arrived completely depressed, without saying a word. The ordeal isn’t over, it’s getting bigger, but he doesn’t have an answer. He sat there without taking off his helmet and without speaking to anyone.

And finally, GDucati guru Igi Dall’Igna made no attempt to support the rider, just looking elsewhere. The team, which has been the true champion of MotoGP in recent years, is in great despair and is no longer responding in any way. Just disbelief.


”In the sprint he was a passenger, but that was it. I had to stop for gas many times to prevent the bike from shaking.. You can clearly see that the bike moves well. We’ve been trying to understand what’s going on for a long time. It is clear that it has nothing to do with tuning or electronics. What happened in Japan is normal,” Pecco explained at Corralito in a statement later reported by Motorsport.com.

Pecco asserted that, despite the fact that “Ducati has built four or five bikes for me from scratch,” the feeling coming from Austria is much worse than at the beginning of the season. When asked why Marc Marquez could use the same material on Australian soil, Pecco clarified: ”If Marc was here, he probably would have been on the podium.But you can’t stop the bike from moving.

The truth is that Ducati’s dominance in recent races has been threatened by other brands. Without further ado, at Phillip Island it will be the first time since the 2020 European Grand Prix that a Borgo Panigale bike has failed to line up on the front row of the grid in qualifying. It will also be the first time since the format was created in 2023 that Ducati will not be on the sprint podium.

Fortunately for the benefit of the Italian people, The historic year in which Marc Márquez debuted in red has already secured Ducati’s third treble in history. But there are also concerns. There is no paradise without Marquez. From touching heaven in Japan to falling to hell in Australia. The official Italian team has a big problem that is difficult to solve. It’s time to see how they can react.

The photos are of low quality and taken from a distance, making it difficult to see the details.

Previously, Cadillac took to the track with a new vehicle, but it used an all-black color scheme.

It has become clear who Hamilton will work with at Ferrari during the tests

Seven-time Formula 1 world champion Lewis Hamilton will start the 2026 season with a new race engineer and Italian media have already revealed who will work with the Briton in pre-season testing in Barcelona.

Last week, Ferrari officially announced that Hamilton would no longer work with Riccardo Adami as race engineer. The decision comes after a busy 2025 season that included a series of awkward radio conversations between pilot and engineer.

The partnership has not worked out since Hamilton’s first year with the team, and Ferrari boss Fred Vasser confirmed the makeup of the engineering staff would be reviewed at the end of last season. It was later learned that Adami would remain with the team but would move to another position: director of the Ferrari Driver Academy and head of the previous car testing program (TPC).

While the team is looking for a permanent replacement, Corriere della Sera reports that Charles Leclerc’s engineer Brian Bozzi will temporarily act as Hamilton’s race engineer during pre-season closed testing, which starts in Barcelona on January 26. According to the source, only one SF-26 vehicle will be used in the tests, which will be shared by both pilots, so Bozzi will work with two drivers at the same time.

Ferrari did not give any official reason for breaking off cooperation with Adami, but public misunderstandings arose several times throughout the season. Already at the Australian Grand Prix, Hamilton expressed surprise at the lack of information on the radio, in Miami he reacted sharply to the tactical decisions of the team, and in Monaco a situation arose in which the driver thought that the engineer was ignoring him. A similar incident occurred at the last stage of the season in Abu Dhabi, after which Adami apologized and explained this by communicating on the command bridge.

All these moments reinforced the impression that Hamilton and Adami had never quite found a common language, and the personnel changes made on the eve of the 2026 season were the logical conclusion of this difficult partnership.
