The MotoGP World Championship live broadcasting rights are exclusively held by BT Sport, with the subscription service the home of MotoGP coverage in the UK since 2014, when it took over from the BBC. Prior to BT’s takeover, the BBC aired all qualifying and races live on BBC2 for the MotoGP class, while Moto2 and […]
Albon was ninth in FP3 on Saturday but had an issue with tyre temperatures in Q1, and thus found himself stuck in 18th on the grid. By the flag he had worked his way up to 10th, repeating the Melbourne result that he had achieved by staying out on the hard tyres and pitting on […]
Quartararo came into grand prix racing billed as the next Marquez in 2015, but floundered in his early GP years in Moto3 and Moto2. A breakout campaign in Moto2 in 2018 in which he won his first grand prix led him to a MotoGP ride with Petronas SRT and Yamaha for 2019, where he […]

At the late safety car restart Mick Schumacher was in a promising ninth place, but his points hopes were ended by a collision with Sebastian Vettel – with the Haas driver finishing 15th after a pitstop for a front wing change.

The Alpine driver explained that he felt only “50%” physically after his heavy crash in FP3 on Saturday, with 51G impact into a concrete wall on the exit of turn 13. With no time to repair the car fully, Ocon had to miss qualifying, and was thus obliged to start from the back of the […]
Perez had been running close behind Ferrari’s Carlos Sainz in the early stages of the race, and appeared poised to launch a challenge for what would have been third spot when his engine lost power. The problem was traced to a sensor fault triggering an automatic shutdown of some systems, and the team’s engineers had […]
Niels Wittich, who has done the job for the first five races of the 2022 season, will move into the deputy’s seat for the Barcelona race. Freitas will then stay in the main role for the following weekend’s race in Monaco, before switching his focus to the Le Mans 24 Hours, which clashes with the […]
The unique surface did not win over many fans among the drivers, with some claiming that the racing suffered because it was so dirty offline that they could not risk overtaking moves. But while things were certainly far from ideal, and improvements will no doubt be sought for F1’s return next year, in the end […]
Turkish superstar Razgatlioglu delivered Yamaha its first WSBK title in 2021 since 2009 when he beat Jonathan Rea in a thrilling season that went down to the final round in Indonesia last November.
