Bagnaia proves himself with a victory at Mugello
In just two weeks, the world was overturned by the rank of Ducati, who won an unexpected double flagship from two different worlds, the satellite team, Gresini Racing and the official team, to Enea Bastiany and Pekkobanyaia. .. If Bastianini wins Le Mans and Banyani falls into pursuit, at Mugello, Bastianini wins his second victory of the year in an impeccable race after seeing Bastianini cut his comeback in a crash. Insisted.
Two of the most regular men of the year at MotoGP Fabio Quartararo and Aleix Espargaro (fifth podium in the last six GGPPs) accompanied the podium, with the French now eight points ahead of Catalonia and Bastianini. It has fallen to 28 points. Already 41 points Banyaia.
The second quarter conditions were only suitable for brave riders and riders with nothing to lose, leading to a fictitious grid with four Ducati satellites and the amazing Paulman rookie Fabio Di Giannan Antonio. .. And behind that, in theory, there are two strong men, Pecco Bagnaia and Fabio Quartaro. And 7th place Aleix Espargaro is trying to confront Ducati with Aprilia at the home GPs of both brands.
From the pole position, “Digia” maintained its initiative against the VR46 Ducati, which continued until it was lost in the chicane in the hands of the newcomers Bezecchi, Quartararo and Aleix Espargaro, who advanced after the three satellites Ducati. Mar Pekko Bagnaia, who was too conservative and lost a lot of space in the first corner, was forced to make a mistake at Le Mans.
Marc Marquez: Top 10 to say goodbye
Marc Marquez moved from 11th to 7th in the first corner of Brad Binder’s KTM after finishing 9th until it first stabilized. But after the turn, Cerbera’s one loses position and his arms aren’t enough for the two chicane and most right curves, the worst circuit in the scenario. The goal was in the top 10 and was achieved-only 11 “800 from Bagnaia, a considerable achievement given the conditions-and the task was to test the new chassis and swingarm in the race and give the HRC a final sign. It was to give. Surgery. In the United States this week, he settled in the quartet in 8th place with Oliveira, Nakagami and Bagnaia, and the Japanese avoided them and finished as the best Honda.
Quartararo has already overtaken Dizzy in 3rd place on lap three, with only two Ducati ahead of Valentino Rossi’s team. Bagnaia, on the other hand, has already reached the top five, ahead of the old Espargaro. El Diablo overtook Bagnaia an inch behind on lap 4, but Pecco burned and Bagnaia overtook Marini and Quartararo in second place one lap later.
Victory advance
Then, on the 8th lap of Turn 1, overtaking between the riders of the VR46 Academy occurred, and Bagnaia’s departure began. The French, who lost nine-tenths in Banyaia, were able to overtake Bagnaia in second place, but were severely annoyed by Rossi’s two Ducati and already Aleix Espargaro and Tierney. The soft rear wasn’t held this time until 10 laps from the end of the beast to complete the leader, Quintet.
Aleix Espargaro overtook Marini with nine laps remaining, and only Betsecki pulled him off the podium. This was achieved after two laps. The previous Quartararo cut one tenth, but couldn’t stabilize below second place compared to his Italian rivals. The delay in his table increases the risk of adding 25 points. He was 46 at the start of the GP, but is now 41.
And the panorama hasn’t changed during the last five laps in terms of the podium, the three considered the result good, Bagnaia added 25 key points, so Quartararo in a very high note. Saved for his worst scenario, the lack of top speed and Aleix Espargaro’s fifth podium this year. Zarco left behind the VR46 pilot, who was the first animator.
Martin breaks the speed record: 363.3 km / h
As for the rest of the Spaniards, Marc Marquez broke the speed record by beating the second best Spaniard and Honda in the race, the tenth and twelfth Maverick Viñales, 362.4km at 363.6km / h. Say goodbye to the thirteenth Jorge Martin. / h FP4 of the 2021 Qatar GP (Lusail) by Johann Zarco (Ducati). Alex Marquez in 14th place and Raul Fernandez in 21st place. On the same 7th lap, the first Joan Mir and then Alex Rins crashed, and by the courtesy of Nakagami, I forgot that Suzuki and Pol Espargaro hit a good stick on turn 9 on another weekend.

Legendary rally champion reacted to Ferrari’s decision regarding his son
Carlos Sainz Sr., father of Carlos Sainz and two-time world rally champion, has commented on Ferrari’s decision to replace his son with seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton.
Sainz was left without a seat at Ferrari last year and later joined Williams. In 2025, the Spaniard outperformed Hamilton and achieved two podiums, while the Briton had none.
Carlos Sainz Sr. emphasized that neither he nor his son criticized Hamilton:
“It’s not our problem, it’s not Carlos’ problem. Ferrari was close to winning the constructors’ championship in 2024, but this year the team has faced difficulties. My advice, and Carlos agrees, is to focus on your work. The world is already too complex to worry about everyone. Let people draw their own conclusions,” he said.
At the same time, Sainz Sr. believes that his son can become a world champion:
“I have a lot of confidence in him and I want to believe that it is possible. I am his father and I have seen how talented he is. If he is in the right place at the right time, he can really achieve this. Everything has to match perfectly. He works and fights for it,” he added.
The rally champion also noted that success depends on the car and the team:
“Unfortunately, I don’t have a crystal ball to know how teams are preparing for radical changes in F1. It all depends on the engine and the chassis. It would be good for Williams to produce a competitive car and fight for the podium. Now they can be at the bottom, middle or top of the table and under the new rules the stronger teams have more resources.”

The 5 richest Formula 1 pilots. Schumacher is beyond competition
Formula 1 pilots’ salaries have long been record-breaking, and the championship’s leading stars regularly appear on the list of the world’s highest-paid athletes.
The current F1 squad is one of the richest in the history of the series, which is directly linked to the sharp increase in the championship’s global popularity in recent years.
But large contracts account for only a fraction of total revenue. Advertising deals, bonuses, business ventures and investments have allowed individual pilots to amass fortunes that far exceed the earnings of most of their peers. According to Racing News 365, it was these Formula 1 drivers who managed to build the largest financial empires in the history of the championship, leaving others far behind.
The richest F1 drivers in history
1) Michael Schumacher – $790 million
2) Lewis Hamilton – $304 million
3) Fernando Alonso – $264 million
4) Kimi Raikkonen – $254 million
5) Niki Lauda – $203 million

Mercedes leader challenges Verstappen: “He’s the one I want to fight with”
Mercedes driver George Russell says he is ready to prove his ability to challenge for the Formula 1 championship and is not afraid to confront Max Verstappen directly.
The Briton had been driving for Mercedes for four seasons but joined the Brackley team just as it lost its leading position. During this time, Russell achieved five Grand Prix victories but had to watch Verstappen and Lando Norris win the titles.
On the eve of major regulatory changes in 2026, many experts see Mercedes as one of the favorites of the new technical cycle. Russell hopes this will be his chance to consistently compete at the top.
“I’m confident I can compete with the best. Max is the gold standard right now,” said Russell.
I would like to fight him head on. “This is the only pilot next to whom you can really test your level.”
After Lewis Hamilton moved to Ferrari, Russell established himself as the leader of Mercedes. The 27-year-old compares his situation to the career of Michael Schumacher, who won his first championship after working for Ferrari for five years.
“You either fight for the championship or you don’t. Nobody dreams of fighting for second place. I’m ready to take my chances and I understand that patience is required,” concluded Russell.
