In the absence of Marc Marquez, Sakusen Ring seeks a new king
The absence of Marc Marquez (Repsol Honda RC 213 V) leaves the German Sakusen ring circuit without a “king”The track has been won by Lleida drivers in Cerbera since it entered the World Championships, but this time it is an orphan and, although tentative, many applicants occupy that position.
Virtually no one doubts that Marc Marquez will return to his passion, the motorcycle sport, but while he does. Some riders will want to challenge supremacy on a short, winding German track...
Having more “ballots” is the Interim World Championship leader and current MotoGP World Champion Fabio Quartararo (Yamaha YZR M 1), the final five rounds of the championship. And his favor it has very special conditions for German trucks.
The potential flaws and limitations of the Quartarararo Yamaha YZR M 1 remain on the track with a mileage of only 3,671 meters, and its main rival, the Ducati Rider, has the greatest potential for a very fast Desmosedici. It cannot be withdrawn to the limit.
The resulting “strength” of Fabio Quartararo clashes with the irregularities of Italy’s Francesco “Peco” Bagnaia, the main candidate for the championship. (Ducati Desmosedici GP22), this is 2 wins and 2 zeros in the last four appointments, so the transalpine rider needs to turn around performance and start showing regularity that doesn’t always fail because of him. there is.
When he was hit by Japanese Takaaki Nakagami (Honda RC 213V) from behind in the crash on the first lap of Barcelona, there was zero left in the rocker, so he would surely want to make a turn. “On German trucks, it’s not the most appropriate scenario to try it out.
Aleix Espargaro, second in the world championships, 22 points behind Quartararo, could be one of the main references The Aprilia RS-GP chassis is a track that feels very comfortable from the first practice session and you can aim for a rejected victory in Catalonia.
Espargaro and Aprilia have achieved unparalleled consistency and consistency so far this season and are undoubtedly clear candidates for the rest of the season’s world titles.
In addition to Quartararo, Espargaro and Bagnaia, the 2022 MotoGP title battle may include Suzuki’s official riders Alex Rins and Joan Mir, as well as a series of satellite team riders in the eyes of the hurricane since the announcement. The withdrawal of the Japanese manufacturer Suzuki at the end of the season has been officially announced.
Both Rinse and Mir seek their “hole” in the 2023 ChampionshipThe gap narrows as new employees are announced, and the last is the Australian Jack Miller gap, which replaces Portugal’s Miguel Oliveira with the second official motorcycle of Australian manufacturer KTM. It has already been updated to 2024 South Africa’s Brad Binder.
Meal and conditioner have several open fronts. It’s competitive performance and continuity, as well as some of the people who have emerged as rivals from the satellite team throughout the season.
Italian Enea Bastianini (Ducati Desmosedici GP21), French Johann Zarco (Ducati Desmosedici GP22), Jorge Martin (Ducati Desmosedici GP22) hands, some of them.
It seems to be much more complicated for Honda and KTM riders who haven’t been able to prove to be at the level of competitors so far in the current 2022 campaign.
In the former case, Repsol Honda’s official team will have Pol Espargaro and Stefan Bradl as brand testers to replace the injured Marc Marquez, but the former will still be joined by him. Teams that have not been able to show high performance. , And the second does not have the level to aim for victory in the category.
From Lucio Cecchinello’s team, Alex Marquez is looking for an adaptation to the 2022 bike that will allow him to be much higher at the table, but a serious accident in Barcelona / Catalonia in which Takaaki Nakagami of Japan suffered. Will make him suspicious, he will almost certainly fall, this German date.
When it comes to KTM riders, neither Brad Binder nor Miguel Oliveira have achieved the level of performance they expected, and their situation has dramatically changed in the next appointment, apparently in subsequent tests. It doesn’t seem to change. Great Catalunya Award. However, good results are needed, at least if the Lusitanians want to continue in MotoGP in 2023.

PHOTOGRAPH. Legendary F1 circuit undergoes changes ahead of start of 2026 season
Suzuka Circuit is preparing for the 2026 Japanese Grand Prix; Large-scale asphalt renewal works have started on the track before the new Formula 1 season.
The Japan circuit has been home to F1 for many years and is considered one of the most difficult and favorite tracks among drivers. High speeds, technical configuration and variable weather conditions have repeatedly made Suzuka the venue for iconic championship moments.
The 2026 stage is scheduled for March 29 and will be the third stage in the season calendar.
The western part of the track, including the iconic Spoon Corner, is now completely closed. A new layer of asphalt was laid, which should change the properties of the coating.
The new surface is expected to have a low level of grip at the beginning of the weekend, but grip will gradually increase as the rubber accumulates; this can significantly affect the cars’ settings.

Did everything change suddenly? Red Bull driver reveals details of his F1 departure
Yuki Tsunoda admitted that on the eve of Red Bull’s official decision, he heard rumors that he would retain his place in Formula 1 within the Red Bull system, but the truth turned out to be completely different.
Before the last stage of the season in Abu Dhabi, it was announced that Isak Hajar will replace the Japanese in 2026. Racing Bulls duo will be Liam Lawson and Arvid Lindblad. As a result, Tsunoda will move into the role of Red Bull’s reserve and test driver at the start of the new era.
Tsunoda was informed about the team’s 2026 plans after the Qatar Grand Prix and, according to him, was already mentally preparing for his reserve role. But shortly before the official meeting, he heard completely different information.
“I was told of the decision after the race in Qatar, but it was not taken seriously at first,” Tsunoda said.
“I was prepared for this scenario, but the news was different from what I had heard before, so it surprised me.”
The Japanese also noted that the decision could change at the last minute:
“I heard before the briefing that the whole thing could literally be replayed. There were many reasons for this, of course. But when they told me I wouldn’t have a permanent position next year it didn’t feel like the end of the world.”
“Abu Dhabi was ahead, so I immediately focused on the next race.”
Despite the disappointment of moving to the reserve driver position, the driver hinted that his role at Red Bull could be broader than the standard job of reserve driver.
“There is a possibility that my duty will not be limited to simulator and reserve pilot status,” Tsunoda said.
I’ve already heard a few possible scenarios. “I’ll rest for now and then start preparing for next season.”

Toyota wants its own driver in F1. Team leader named a condition
Haas team boss Ayao Komatsu said he did not rule out the possibility of attracting a driver linked to Toyota in the future, but stressed that the main criterion will always be results, not financial support.
Earlier this year, Toyota announced that it would be the title sponsor of Haas starting from the 2026 season. This was the next step in the development of cooperation between the parties, which began with a technical partnership more than a year ago.
At the same time, Komatsu denied the assumption that Toyota’s increased role was the beginning of a full takeover of the team. According to him, cooperation focuses primarily on staff development and exchange of experience.
When asked whether Toyota constantly raises the issue of driver performance in Formula 1, Komatsu answered in the affirmative.
“Yes, of course. One of Toyota’s many goals is to develop people, and pilots are part of that process,” he said.
Toyota has an extensive driver training program in various series, particularly the World Endurance Championship and Japanese Super Formula. However, Komatsu stressed that Haas was not ready to sacrifice athletic performance for the sake of partnership interests.
“What is important is speed and results. Everyone who gets behind the wheel of our car must be the best choice in terms of performance,” emphasized the team leader.
