Ducati bosses Tardozzi and Dall’Igna are desperately trying to find a solution to the Bagnaia drama. “We did everything we could to get back to the same situation as last year.”
There is no way. Nothing appears in P.Ecco Bagnaia. From one year to the next he drifted away from being the fastest on the grid. MotoGP (With Jorge Martin) I’m completely lost as to what is theoretically the best bike on the grid. Ducati GP25. meanwhile Marc Marquez Although he had a historic season in which he won the title with five major prizes to his name, the Italian failed to hold his own and suffered four consecutive withdrawals for a fall in Portimao, for a total of six withdrawals.
of The difference in points between both drivers of the official Borgo Panigale team is 257. The Cervera native was injured in an accident caused by Bezzecchi’s mistake at the Indonesian Grand Prix, ending his season. If they concede another four points to Acosta, Bagnaia will finish the year in fifth place.
This is a very complicated situation and the treble has somewhat tarnished another exceptional season for Ducati. Italian leaders Gigi Dall’Igna and Davide Tardozzi, They analyzed the situation of pilots who returned to glory 15 years later, after a new psychological blow symbolized by the fall of Portimao.
“That speed is Pekko never doubted. Complicating things for him is his lack of confidence on the bike. We’re not talking about physical problems or motivation, we’re talking about sensations. c“If a rider doesn’t feel completely comfortable on their bike, they won’t be able to ride with the freedom they need.”Ducati official team principal Tardozzi said in a statement to Sky Sports:
”We did everything we could to get Pekko back to the same condition as last year.Or like Japan, where everything seemed to flow. I believe we have been working in the right direction. If something is still missing, we need to discuss it ourselves and understand why and how to reach the conclusion. When a driver like Pecco starts to have any doubts, it shows. “It’s not a matter of speed, it’s a matter of connection with the bike,” he concluded.
Vision of the Ducati Corse General Director
Gigi Dall’Igna also spoke about Bagnaia’s situation, but in his case on MotoGP’s official channels. The Italian guru declared that there is no exact reason to understand this situation. “It’s hard to say. If we knew for sure, we would be happy because we could do something to resolve this situation. “He and I don’t know what’s going on.”
” Our relationship with the team has always been very good. And this remains true during these difficult times. We won two world titles together and I won my first MotoGP rider championship with him, so of course I want to help him recover if I can. We’re here to get results, so if we don’t get results, it’s a problem for him, it’s a problem for his team, it’s a problem for me.”

Pecco’s 2025 trials will end this weekend at Valencia’s Ceste circuit. But the key is to find a solution to avoid another repeat of a season that is unacceptable to everyone. It would definitely mean the end of a relationship that was most successful and beneficial for both parties. This campaign should become a stain on history.

Aston Martin and Honda officially launched their Formula 1 factory partnership at an event in Tokyo where the Japanese manufacturer’s new power unit, the RA626H, was unveiled.
Honda continued to support Red Bull technically after officially leaving Formula 1 in 2021, and will fully return in 2026 as Aston Martin’s official partner in the new era of the championship, where the electric motor and internal combustion engine share energy 50/50. This makes Aston Martin an official works team; whereas before the team was just a client team.
Preparations for the season were carried out with the participation of Aston Martin’s key partners and under the supervision of the team’s chief strategist Andy Cowell. The RA626H is designed to meet new regulatory requirements by providing maximum reliability and performance in the new environment.

Verstappen announced the conditions under which he will run in the legendary race in 2026
Max Verstappen says his participation in the Nürburgring 24 Hours is in doubt.
The four-time F1 champion has long been involved in endurance racing and is actively racing and testing in GT3, but full preparation for the Nordschleife marathon coincides with the Formula 1 calendar. The preparation races coincide with the F1 stages and the Dutchman does not want to go to the start without them.
“It’s very difficult to give a definitive answer right now,” Max said.
“I would like to start well prepared, but the preparation races coincide with Formula 1. Therefore, this year I will only be able to participate in the race if there is a change in the calendar.”
Therefore, Verstappen’s participation in the 2026 Nürburgring 24 Hours is still in doubt and directly depends on possible changes in the program or compromises between Formula 1 and the marathon training program.

The first week of Formula 1 testing is approaching. The teams are preparing for the first joint test at the Circuit de Catalunya in Barcelona, followed by two more sessions in Bahrain.
The first cars to take to the track were Audi and Cadillac, now Racing Bulls have joined them. The Faenza team chose Imola as their “home” for the debut of the 2026 model.
The outgoing Alfa Tauri and Toro Rosso recently unveiled livery at an event in Detroit alongside Red Bull, but the actual vehicles of the new generation remain largely under wraps for now. There will be multiple technical changes before the season starts in Melbourne.
In the 2026 season, Alan Permain’s team will field Liam Lawson and debutant Arvid Lindblad. In the context of radically updated regulations, testing will be vital for the adaptation of pilots and crews.
Therefore, Racing Bulls decided not to wait for official testing in Barcelona. Today VCARB03 will travel approximately 15 km as part of an exercise to check the accuracy of the assembly, and on January 22 the team will conduct a full shooting day with 200 km of driving allowed.
