Aleix: “I’m very proud to be the main character.”
Aleix Espargaro Being the headliner for the Catalunya Grand Prix, I am happy to accept that role. He is fully mature at the age of 32, but he continues to pinch himself. “Like everything this year, I’m the main character, so it’s hard to understand, digest, and explain for myself. It’s a great, very special award for you to enjoy it. Mark Catalonia’s historic Grand Prix star isn’t there, so this year I’m fighting for the title, it’s a big responsibility and pride. “
Will be full
“Last year was competitive and this year the bike’s performance has improved. My biggest loser is Chikan. He can turn faster. Here he turns like Mugello. I can’t, so I think the bike works fine.
It will be his most important victory
“It’s definitely more important than winning in Argentina. It’s my hometown Grand Prix. I grew up 3km from here, it’s cruel. I’m not going to lie to you. My goal is to win. It’s Sunday, but it’s going to be very difficult. You also need to understand where to draw that thin line between taking the consistency and risk to win the Grand Prix. Understand it during practice . “
What I give to win
“From my collection, I don’t even know what bike I want most. It’s cruel. It’s the Grand Prix I’ve dreamed of all my life and I’ve been racing for the rest of my life. Podium, maybe I will give more value than the first podium or Argentina’s victory. Seeing the top in Jerez, I thought on the podium. Podium, what are you? You’ve come a million times and you’re in the best class on the podium right now. ” Imagine it in Barcelona, which is more home than Jerez.
12 points from matching your highest score
“I can’t explain. The bike has grown. I have grown. Many years of consistency in Aprilia have been rewarded. There are a thousand and one factors. What’s happening is so historic and so strange. I don’t. “There is an exact explanation. “
Feed each other
“The victory in Argentina gave me wings, which made me really believe it. If I already thought it would work, I told myself:” You win You can, you can be in front. ” Having the best fight, I kept giving it feedback and added fuel to the fire, and that’s what you have to keep trying. “
Most regular
“Sustainability is very important, but you have to be fast. I realize I’m lacking points compared to the other three. Speed, and if you want to fight them You have to find it. When Enia is fine, it’s virtually impossible to beat. It’s easier for them to find consistency than I find speed. “
“Yes, the regular won the title, but in such a long World Cup, we can finally do some zeros. They removed Finland and I think it helps us a bit. But I think I have to win a little a little. In Fabio I’m equal, but when the two Ducatis are strong, it’s hard for both Fabio and me to beat. “
Message to fans
“There’s a cruel show and we’re blessed with great weather. I know Mark isn’t here. I can’t say I’m trying to replace him. It’s impossible, but I’ll give it a try. Do it well to have a good show. What we have achieved is that after all, people get tired of Mark’s victory and he wins every year (laughs), so another Catalan If the rider can win with Aprilia, it will be a very historic year and a good “boom”. I hope they support us.
Special helmet for CorAll Family
“My twins were born four years ago. Mia was born with severe heart disease and we had a very terrible time. The Coall family has greatly helped us, the doctors who operated on her. I think elite athletes are very big speakers. I don’t really like to influence society, but I don’t share it because all I do is gas the bike. That’s right. It’s a tribute to my daughter. All my strength, but above all, the Cor All Family targets many children around the world who died five years ago and have no means. That’s because heart disease statistics disappoint you, so it’s a compliment.

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.”

Former F1 team boss says new teammate Verstappen’s biggest advantage
Former Haas boss Henter Steiner says Isak Hajjar will be Max Verstappen’s teammate at Red Bull and will have the chance to avoid the problems faced by his predecessors.
The French driver took the hardest place in the peloton, as they say in F1. Following the departure of Daniel Ricciardo, many of Verstappen’s team-mates succumbed to the pressure: Pierre Gasly returned to Toro Rosso after a year and a half, Alex Albon lasted only a season and a half, Yuki Tsunoda lasted 22 races and Liam Lawson only two races. Sergio Perez, who stayed for four years, was an exception.
But Hajar has a special advantage: New technical rules force everyone to start from scratch.
“Isak is a very strong driver,” said Steiner
And most importantly, it will start at Red Bull with new rules. “This allows him to co-shape the car with Max, rather than getting into a car that is already built for a single driver.”

Little-known points about Uganda
Uganda had to be content with the one point they got thanks to Uche Ikpeazu, but it was just that, as Alan Okello conceded the next moment with a missed penalty for Tanzania (1-1).
Both teams had come back from losses on their debuts and their success depended on whether they had a real chance of progressing to the finals, but the situation has become very complicated as Tunisia and Nigeria, who play each other on the final day, have a chance of winning. Therefore, the main objective is to consider being one of the four best third parties to advance to the round of 16 as well.
It was an embarrassing result for Uganda, but all things considered, thankfully they managed to save a point. It was a very even match and the second half started with a goal for the opponents (59th minute). This was due to Simoun Msbah’s penalty after a handball in the Baba area. Fortunately, they persevered and Uche scored the equalizer with a flat shot with 10 minutes remaining (80 minutes). Okello, known in his homeland as ‘Starchild’, missed a chance to win after Mnoga’s penalty against Bogere, and his shot went over the bar.
