bagnaia and martin put on a world-class show, where the two of them fought side to side, elbow to elbow, which was very exciting to watch. but it must be admitted that bagnaia remains calm, patient, with a neat racing line in responding to martin and that is what allows him to maintain his position.
Their competition was only presented for a very short duration because after that, the race felt very sleepy due to the riders in the front row having quite a big gap. I still want to see how they compete in Qatar at the end of this week because Qatar also has a pretty good circuit for the Ducati factory as well as for several top riders from all manufacturers.

it was just unlucky for martin not to get p3, but if martin can see the opportunity and improve his strategy going forward, i think martin can catch bagnaia in the remaining sprints and races ahead even though it will be quite difficult.
I don't think it's that difficult for Martin to catch up with the 14 points that Bagnaia has in the two remaining series this season, because if Martin has better focus in the Qatar series and the final series in Spain, I think Bagnaia will also have heavy pressure for that matter. So their competition will be presented again this week in Qatar.

GM will be in Formula 1.

Americans are expanding the brand in their country.

Idk if they can be competitive at the start but it is now official.

I have examined the Las Vegas track before the race weekend. I wasn't contented with what I saw to tell the truth. Because the straights are just too long. This track would make use of more turns in my opinion. It would make the race more watchable. Of course, having long straights is good for watching more overtakes as well. But it makes the track more boring when the number of turns is really low. I believe that it is against the nature of Formula 1. The drivers would also not feel like they are being challenged I think.

I'm putting the image of the track below for you to understand what I mean better:

It is 14 points now, it will be great to see that the competition between Pecco and Martin for the title will be determined in the last race.
Martin is a great rider and he is still young compared to other, lets say he fails to steal the title this season, I hope he will do it in the next season.

There are still 3 races to go (including the two sprint races where only half the points are awarded) and a lot can happen, there is still a maximum of 74 points, so a crash from either of them and the cards will be reshuffled, but I hope there is no crash and the championship will be decided in Valencia. But I still think that Bagnaia should just about manage to defend the title in Valencia, although the pressure on both of them will be pretty equal. Hopefully a third rider won't crash with one of them and decide the championship.

Next season will be interesting to see how well Marc copes with the Ducati, although I don't think he can fight for the title again.

In essence, Bagnaia has also done something good and extraordinary by being on the third podium and finishing the race ahead of Martin so that Bagnaia can still maintain a points distance from Martin, even though it is only 14 points. However, Bagnaia must continue to fight hard in the two remaining series, especially in the Qatar series which will be held at the end of this week.

We are only 2 races away from at the end of the season now. I'm getting more curious about what action Red Bull will decide to take about Perez situation. As we have known his performance has dropped down a lot lately. It dropped so sharply that we even started to see some amateurish mistakes from him like the one at the beginning of the Mexico GP and there was his weird incident during the Suzuka GP.  Sad

We don't have the same old Perez anymore at least for now. I wonder whether he can collect himself until next season to return stronger. If he believes that he can manage to fix his current concentration problems then I would like him to stay at Red Bull. Because I don't feel like Ricciardo can guarantee performing better than Perez. We don't have a competitive Ricciardo anymore.

In the last race at least he showed in the last couple of laps that his fighting spirit is still there against Alonso and of course I never expected him to beat Alonso when both cars were performing nearly the same in those last laps.For the moment I don't see any good successor to him that will allow Verstappen to win easily and Redbull already knows this that is why most likely they will continue with him even with 2024 as this would mean another easy title for Verstappen if other teams don't improve their cars.As long as they have been silent on this matter it means they are going to honor his contract also for 2024.

Switching from Ducati to Honda is probably the worst thing you can do at the moment, unless you can't get a place with a team.
I also have that assumption, because in almost all the series held this year, Ducati motorbikes are almost very often seen at the front and dominate the front row. Meanwhile, Honda is almost often a fixture in the back row, so it is very possible that the decision made by Marini is a bad thing for next season. Because Marquez no longer feels at home there.

It is indeed not a good choice to leave the best motorbike on the current grid and switch to a motorbike that is very difficult to finish a race, if it is true that Marini accepted an offer from Honda, of course there are other things that he saw so he accepted the offer from Honda.

A very good race for Bastianini today because he managed to get first today with two series remaining, of course this will add more opponents to Martin and Bagnaia.
There won't be much that Marini can do if his bike isn't competitive enough like this season if he actually accepts the offer from Honda. Because Honda is looking for a very talented rider for next season, because they have lost the tough rider they often relied on in previous seasons, namely Marquez. So I was a little surprised when rumors about Marini started appearing in many media today.

The big result today for the Italian.

He kept basically the same advantage but they have 1 less race to race.

Not sure if they will have more sprint races before the end of the season or they are done with them

For me he is already out of RedBull team in F1 and maybe also out of F1.... i don t know what are his plans and what also has RedBull in is mind, and who is gonna be his replace, maybe Ricciardo? i dont know.... Some guys are getting old and so much young blood is waiting to take the seats.

Bagnaia lost points again.
Luckily for him, Martin ended in second position.

His advantage now is only 13 points.

Some rumors about Moto GP.

Marini will probably join Honda next Year.

And I think it will be a mistake leaving Ducati, but you know...

Without a doubt Ducati is the best bike this season, how about Honda next season? Will Honda be able to make significant improvement to be more competitive?
If we look at the current situation, moving to Honda is a mistake ofc but we do not know what will happen with Marini + Honda next season.
Perhaps Marini want to take a risky challenge so he wants to move to Honda, but I think it will be better if he stays.

We don't know the basics behind this move.Of course Ducati is the most powerful bike at the moment but wasn't McLaren the fastest car or near the fastest car when Lewis Hamilton moved to Mercedes just to make an analogy and we all know how that story went well for Lewis Hamilton after that.

The same can happen to Marini and since he is not winning any Championship nor fighting for the title here at MotoGP,based on this I can understand such move from him,maybe he thinks that Honda will come back and he would be happy to be riding for them when this happens.

For Bastianini an almost perfect weekend and come back, Bagnaia also did the best for himself and the world championship and even made up a point on Martin, even if 14 points with two races to go is not much.

Martin is indeed more talented IMHO.

But if Bagnana will lose the title it will be only his fault, since at the start of the season he slept 3 times alone when he was leading or close to leading the race.
Yesterday in the Sprint Bagnaia also couldn't make up the points gap so Martin again cut the points gap a little more and today there might be more interesting surprises so the race will be even more exciting with their battles with those of the other riders. Bagnaia must not make any more mistakes today if he wants to retain his title.

i think both riders are talented, now it's just a matter of whose strategy is better. martin has set a strategy that he will play not aggressively because in several races he tried to play aggressively and that was quite dangerous for his position. and bagnaia also made a strategy to be faster at the start and try to get the best position in the qualifying session for the best place in the race.

so both drivers really prepare themselves for the best and if they lose it's not their own fault because they don't just race alone, but together with the team that designs their racing strategy.
Let's see how the two of them carry out their strategy, because other drivers will also be obstacles for those who are chasing the title this season. Martin will still be as strong as yesterday in the Sprint and Alex Marquez will probably also be a very real nuisance for both of them today because yesterday he was absolutely outstanding in the Sprint.

Next race will be Las Vegas one, that is going to definitely be a fun one without a doubt for racers. I mean we are talking about somewhere "new" give or take, even though there has been races there before, F1 added it recently. I think it is going to be a  bit shocking because not that many racers have raced there, so that means they do not have enough time there and this could change a lot.

It does bring in rookies (or young racers) closer to older ones, because when you are that good, as a veteran, you know how to save and all, but when you do not have track experience that much, it does bring in racers closer. This doesn't really apply to many teams, but could apply to ones like Mercedes, where I believe experience of Hamilton brought in a lot more points to him so far, and Russell could definitely give him a run for his money this race around. Lets see, we are going to see a race where I bet that some unexpected results will happen for sure.

In any case, it will be Bagnaia's own fault this season if he loses the title. He already had a big lead, but due to the many crashes he has lost his points cushion. But I still think he will manage to win the title.
