La entrega 122 del Podcast de MotoGP de Motorsport Network se centra en un intenso debate en torno a la extraordinaria exhibición de superioridad de Marc Márquez en el Gran Premio de Tailandia. El fin de semana de Buriram fue una exaltación a la figura del ocho veces campeón del mundo Marc Márquez. El piloto español, tras superar una grave lesión en el brazo con cuatro operaciones y culminar 'el plan' que le ha llevado al garaje oficial de Ducati, hizo lo que, en mayor o menor medida, todo el mundo esperaba: arrasar a todos sus rivales con una doble victoria en Tailandia. La del domingo, "jugando" con el resto de pilotos, como reconoció el propio Pecco Bagnaia. Uri Puigdemont, Germán Garcia Casanova y Alberto Gómez reciben en esta nueva entrega del Podcast MotoGP 'Por Orejas' la visita del siempre bienvenido Emilio Pérez de Rozas, un habitual del podcast y pieza fija cuando el debate se ciñe en torno a la figura de Marc Márquez. El debate se centra en el poder desatado por el corredor catalán de 32 años, y el recorrido que le queda por delante, en la temporada más larga de la historia del campeonato, 22 paradas con dos carreras por fin de semana, Marc partía como favorito, una etiqueta que se ha hecho mucho mayor tras su exhibición en Buriram. El control de la situación, la superioridad ante sus contrincantes y la forma en la que gestionó el problema de la presión del neumático delantero 'delatan' una facilidad para ganar que asusta y ya nadie duda de que podríamos llegar a la cuarta carrera de la temporada con un pleno al seis, teniendo en cuenta que las dos próximas paradas son circuitos fetiche para el español. También entra en juego en el debate la posición de Ducati, que apostó abiertamente por el fichaje de Marc y que, hasta ahora, está viendo que el acierto de su decisión es un pleno. Ahora, sin embargo, los de Borgo Panigale deben entender de qué manera pueden ayudar a equilibrar la situación con un Bagnaia que, en su séptima temporada al manillar de una Ducati, debe demostrar que sus éxitos en 2022 y 2023 no pueden ponerse en cuestión. El debate se calienta también con el fin de semana de un Pedro Acosta que se ha "buscado un mal enemigo" en la figura del #93, y en la noticia de la semana: la decisión del promotor del campeonato del mundo de no renovar su contrato con Michelin más allá de 2026, y la llegada del fabricante italiano Pirelli con un acuerdo de cinco años entre 2027 y 2031. http://es.motorsport.com  ORIOL PUIGDEMONT en X - @uri_puigdemont  GERMÁN GARCÍA CASANOVA en X - @germax33  ALBERTO GOMEZ en X - @AlbertoGomezB

Arranca una nueva temporada y con ella regresa el Podcast MotoGP de Motorsport Network, en el que debatimos sobre quiénes serán los grandes protagonistas del curso que empieza en Tailandia. Este fin de semana, tras un largo invierno, regresa la acción con fuego real en Buriram, donde el Gran Premio de Tailandia abrirá, por primera vez en la historia del campeonato, la temporada. Un año que llega cargado de alicientes y novedades, la principal, sin duda, la llegada de un Marc Márquez completamente 'renacido' al equipo oficial Ducati, así como el cambio del actual campeón del mundo de MotoGP, Jorge Martín, al equipo Aprilia. Un nuevo camino que no empezó de a mejor manera por la lesión del español que, pese a todo, estará en la línea de partida de la temporada este próximo viernes. Otras novedades importantes son la llegada de Enea Bastianini y Maverick Viñales a KTM, donde Pedro Acosta se ha convertido en la referencia. Como lo es en Yamaha, también, un Fabio Quartararo que, sobre todo en el test de Sepang, dio señales de una recuperación que llegó a empujar a Ducati a señalar la casa japonesa como su mayor rival este año. Uri Puigdemont, Germán Garcia Casanova y Alberto Gómez reciben, una vez más, en el podcast MotoGP 'Por Orejas' de Motorsport Network, la visita de Izaskun Ruíz, la estrella televisiva de DAZN, para analizar y debatir en torno a este inicio de temporada, sobre quién es el gran favorito al título, los outsiders y el papel de Pecco Bagnaia, dos veces campeón del mundo con Ducati que ha visto como su propio equipo le metía en casa al mayor rival que pueda tener en la parrilla de MotoGP. Arranca una nueva temporada y con ella el podcast de los aficionados a MotoGP.

This week F1 held its spectacular season launch event at the O2 Arena in London in a ceremony that was all about entertaining the fans, particularly F1's new fans. Hot on its heels F1 is launching the latest Global Fan Survey, which is being conducted by Motorsport Network, Autosport's parent company, in partnership with F1. This is where F1 fans around the world have a chance to make their voices heard. There will be many useful learnings for F1, the teams, sponsors and promoters. The 2021 survey had 167,000 responses from 185 countries, with Nielsen certifying it as the largest sports survey ever conducted. We have been conducting these surveys for many years. The 2017 survey came just after Liberty Media's takeover of F1 and by 2021 we could clearly see the changes in attitudes and demographics among fans, who were younger and more female. So what will this new survey show? Autosport Editor-in-Chief Rebecca Clancy and Chief Motorsport writer Ben Hunt join James in the studio and we hear from an influential voice from the US on F1's new audiences, Toni Cowan-Brown.

Após vencer as 24 Horas de Daytona pela terceira vez na carreira, Felipe Nasr veio ao estúdio da Motorsport Network para falar sobre o triunfo e também sobre o atual momento da carreira, além de recuperar algumas histórias do passado. O ex-F1 também falou sobre os bastidores da conquista, trazendo detalhes da personalidade de Roger Penske.

En la edición 119 del Podcast de MotoGP entrevistamos en exclusiva al agente del español Pedro Acosta, que tras debutar con GasGas Tech3 este año en la clase reina, dará el salto en 2025 al equipo oficial de KTM. Sin embargo, el anuncio del derrumbe financiero del fabricante austriaco ha puesto en duda la confianza que tenía el piloto en su equipo. "Nos vendieron que eran un gigante con un gran músculo económico para luchar con Ducati, pero eso no es así", asegura el representante de Acosta. Uri Puigdemont, Germán Garcia Casanova y Alberto Gómez reciben la visita, en el Podcast MotoGP 'Por Orejas', de Motorsport Network, de Albert Valera, con el que hacen un repaso de la situación, lo que pasará en el futuro con Acosta, las supuestas ofertas que ha recibido de Ducati el corredor murciano y, por supuesto, hablamos de otro de sus representados, Jorge Martín, flamante campeón del mundo de MotoGP 2024. http://es.motorsport.com ORIOL PUIGDEMONT en X - @uri_puigdemont GERMÁN GARCÍA CASANOVA en X - @germax33 ALBERTO GOMEZ en X - @AlbertoGomezB

La fabulosa crisis financiera por la que atraviesa el fabricante austríaco KTM, con miles de puestos de trabajo en peligro y una deuda de tres mil millones de euros, siembra de dudas el futuro del equipo naranja en el Mundial de MotoGP. La noticia que acapara los titulares de la postemporada de MotoGP poco o nada tiene que ver con el deporte, aunque sí podría afectar a la división de carreras de uno de los cinco fabricantes que compiten en el campeonato del mundo. Uri Puigdemont, Germán Garcia Casanova y Alberto Gómez reciben la visita esta semana en el podcast MotoGP 'Por Orejas' de Motorsport Network de Juan Martínez, ex técnico de, entre otros muchos, el equipo Ducati en MotoGP y, en la actualidad, uno de los más influyentes comentaristas de la televisión que ofrece el campeonato de las dos ruedas. Con el que fuera ingeniero de pista de Nicky Hayden analizamos, en esta nueva entrega del podcast, la bomba que ha significado para el campeonato el anuncio de la quiebra de KTM, que ha presentado concurso de acreedores, admitiendo una deuda monumental, lo que le coloca en una complicada situación que, lógicamente, puede afectar, y mucho, a los planes deportivos. Con su conocimiento del terreno, Juan Martínez analiza las opciones que se presentan ahora, así como su opinión en torno a cómo afectaran estas noticias a los pilotos bajo contrato del fabricante austriaco en la clase reina, Brad Binder, Pedro Acosta, Maverick Viñales y Enea Bastianini, que afrontan el descomunal desafío de pelear contra un rival, Ducati, que además de estar en su mejor momento, se ha mostrado inalcanzable en 2024. Malas noticias para KTM y para MotoGP, pero también lo son para la categoría de entrada al campeonato, Moto3, donde el fabricante es uno de los principales proveedores de maquinaria, sin olvidarse, por supuesto, de la Rookies Cup, una competición monomarca KTM que ha sido, en los últimos años, el principal trampolín para acceder al Mundial. Con al división de carreras separada de las ramas industriales, lo que podría 'salvar' la situación a nivel competitivo, la discusión en el podcast reflexiona, también, en torno a la ética de mantener un brazo deportivo de primer nivel cuando el puesto de trabajo de miles de personas en Austria está, ahora mismo, en un muy serio peligro. http://es.motorsport.com ORIOL PUIGDEMONT en X - @uri_puigdemont GERMÁN GARCÍA CASANOVA en X - @germax33 ALBERTO GOMEZ en X - @AlbertoGomezB

As Formula 1 prepares to take another spin of the wheel at Las Vegas, the latest edition of GP Racing magazine is on the news stands, so it's once again time for Codders to Podders, as ever with Mark Gallagher and Autosport's Grand Prix Editor, Alex Kalinauckas. In this month's episode, we ask whether Max Verstappen will be ‘four and done' with Red Bull – and, indeed whether Red Bull will be able to win another world championship in the foreseeable future as their driver academy might not be holding up as well as it once did, despite two and a half decades of success... Are we in the strange situation where Red Bull literally "can't afford" to let Sergio Perez go? Elsewhere the trio chat about their latest feature on Haas team principal Ayao Komatsu, and his favourite climbing wall. Consider this a boulder dash rather than balderdash, as they discuss his engineering background and rising through the ranks within the sport, being Romain Grosjean's race engineer and the awkward timing of his favourite cappuccino... (PS: You can also see a video of the interview on Autosport's YouTube channel!) And finally, marketing comes to the forefront with a deep dive on F1's latest idea, a live show to celebrate their 75th anniversary with all ten team's liveries being revealed at the O2 Arena in February, as well as Monaco being extended on the sporting calendar until 2031. Is the live show an insult to long-standing fans or a brilliant commercial idea? And is Monaco still as important as it used to be?

Jorge Martín llegará a la última cita del calendario MotoGP, el GP Solidario de Barcelona, con 24 puntos de ventaja al frente de la general, por lo que tiene en sus manos cerrar el curso ganando un título completamente merecido. El Gran Premio de Malasia quedó absolutamente en un segundo plano tras la catástrofe natural que asoló los pueblos colindantes al Circuit de Cheste, que debía ser la sede la última carrera de la temporada. Las tormentas y la lluvia que asolaron la zona estuvieron muy presentes en el paddock del campeonato, muy ligado a Valencia, no solo a través del equipo de Jorge Martínez Aspar, sino de parte de muchos pilotos y miembros de otros equipos. Uri Puigdemont, Germán Garcia Casanova y Alberto Gómez analizan en esta nueva entrega del Podcast MotoGP 'Por Orejas', de Motorsport Network, la gestión que hizo el campeonato de todo lo sucedido y que desembocó en la cancelación del GP de la Comunitat Valenciana, y la activación de un último evento solidario en Barcelona, en las mismas fechas, del 15 al 17 de noviembre, un gran premio para el que se han puesto ya a la venta las entradas, una recaudación que irá integra a los afectados por la dana en Valencia. PUEDES DONAR AQUÍ DEBAJO: https://www.gofundme.com/f/asparteamxvalenciacatastrophe   En el plano deportivo, Jorge Martín puso en Malasia la guinda al pastel de la gira asiática, un periplo de cinco carreras en las que el español sumó una victoria (Indonesia) y cuatro segundos puestos (Japón, Australia, Tailandia y Malasia), desactivando la racha triunfal de un Pecco Bagnaia que pese a alcanzar las 10 victorias en 19 carrera podría, muy fácilmente, no ganar el campeonato. El crecimiento como piloto y, sobre todo, a nivel mental de Martín del paso año a este es, tal y como debaten nuestros especialistas, la piedra filosofal que ha llevado al piloto de Pramac a ser, ahora mismo, el gran favorito a la corona mundial, y con todo merecimiento, no en vano ha sabido defenderse de los ataques de Pecco, que trató de llevarle al límite en la carrera de Sepang. El arranque de la carrera, con bandera roja y resalida, y las tres primeras vueltas con hasta 15 adelantamientos entre ambos, demostraron el nivel de ambos pilotos y una superioridad aplastante respecto al resto. En Barcelona, la próxima semana, se decide el Mundial, y lo hace en un circuito diferente al que estaba previsto, en una zona como Montmeló donde correr a mediados de noviembre puede ser un handicap importante por el clima, y con una elección de neumáticos por parte del proveedor que puede convertirse en clave. La situación puede derivar en un cierto caos que puede ser un gran aliado para Bagnaia, que apurar, sin duda, las opciones hasta el final. Martín debe salir al ataque ya que el sábado, si gana la sprint será campeón del mundo matemáticamente; guardándose el comodín, si hay lío, de que dos sextos puestos le harían, igualmente, campeón 2024. http://es.motorsport.com ORIOL PUIGDEMONT en X - @uri_puigdemont GERMÁN GARCÍA CASANOVA en X - @germax33 ALBERTO GOMEZ en X - @AlbertoGomezB

Welcome back to Flat Chat! And it's another late one thanks to various movements of people. And in the case of Codders and Autosport Grand Prix Editor Alex Kalinauckas coming back from Mexico, movements of people in the wrong direction at the wrong time… of course, Mark Gallagher joins as well!   The latest edition of GP Racing magazine hit the newsstands just before the US Grand Prix as we look at who's going to be top dog at Ferrari next year, as Mark and Alex ponder what the Vettel-esque mistakes Lewis Hamilton shouldn't make as he prepares to battle Charles Leclerc for supremacy at Maranello. Elsewhere, Pat Symonds is featured as he talks about why multiple teams are struggling to add performance as the season goes on, and why McLaren has waited so long to use its latest floor upgrade.  And of course, there has to be a discussion on driving standards after Max Verstappen doubled down on his aggressive defending against Lando Norris, and received 20 seconds of time penalties during the Mexico Grand Prix. How will they be adjusted ahead of the Qatar Grand Prix, and is the FIA being consistent enough with its stewarding?  If you prefer to enter an actual retail establishment, make sure your journey isn't wasted.

Más de mil días después de su última victoria, Marc Márquez volvió a lo más altor del podio en un Gran Premio de Aragón que dominó de principio a fin, una actuación que ha puesto a pensar a todos sus rivales. En esta nueva entrega del Podcast MotoGP 'Por Orejas' de Motorsport Network, Uri Puigdemont, Germán Garcia Casanova y Alberto Gómez reciben la visita de Emilio Pérez de Rozas para desgranar los entresijos de la victoria número 60 de Marc Márquez en el Mundial de MotoGP, un triunfo que llega tras una grave lesión (2020) que obligó al piloto catalán a afrontar un largo y tortuoso proceso de vuelta a la cumbre. Durante el podcast, se debate ampliamente sobre el significado de este resultado, tanto para el piloto ocho veces campeón del mundo, como para el campeonato, presente y futuro, y sobre todo para sus rivales y, más concretamente, el que va ser su compañero de equipo en Ducati la próxima temporada. Márquez tiene ahora por delante ocho grandes premios para confirmar que ha vuelto para quedarse e incluso, no se descarta, escondiendo sus cartas al descartarse en la pelea por el título, un discurso que no todos compran en la mesa de debate de 'Por Orejas'. Lo que nadie duda es que el Mundial 2025, en el que Bagnaia y Márquez formarán al dupla oficial de Ducati, ha comenzado ya a disputarse y que el golpe encima de la mesa propinado por el veterano piloto de Gresini se dejó sentir en el estado de ánimo del bicampeón del mundo. Bagnaia no pudo acabar la carrera tras recibir el impacto de Alex Márquez, una acción que Dirección de Carrera consideró como un lance sin culpable o, al menos, sin merecimiento de sanción. 'Por Orejas' debate la maniobra, el accidente y las culpas, pero señala 'el nerviosismo' de un Pecco que acusó, abiertamente, al pequeño de los Márquez de "no dejar gas hasta que logró tirarme al suelo", unas palabras que no concuerdan con la imagen de un campeón al que han colocado 'el enemigo en casa'. http://es.motorsport.com ORIOL PUIGDEMONT en X - @uri_puigdemont GERMÁN GARCÍA CASANOVA en X - @germax33 ALBERTO GOMEZ en X - @AlbertoGomezB

Pecco Bagnaia se ha convertido ya, por méritos propios, en uno de los grandes pilotos de la historia de MotoGP y pronto podrá sentarse ya en la mesa de los 'magníficos' o los 'aliens', pero hay debate en torno a la diferencia entre la Ducati actual y el resto de fabricantes. Uri Puigdemont, Germán Garcia Casanova y Alberto Gómez reciben la siempre esperada visita de Emilio Pérez de Rozar en una nueva entrega del Podcast MotoGP 'Por Orejas', de Motorsport Network, con el análisis del Gran Premio de Austria, celebrado el pasado fin de semana, como hilo conductor de una tertulia que alanza la temperatura de debate ante la discusión sobre la figura del actual gran dominador de MotoGP, el italiano Pecco Bagnaia. El cabeza de cartel de Ducati, tras no estar tan fino en Gran Bretaña, volvió en el lujoso e imponente Red Bull Ring de Spielberg a la máxima expresión de su dominio, firmando su séptima victoria de la temporada y tercer doblete, lo que le permiten recuperar el liderado del campeonato del mundo. Todos los que intervienen en el podcast coinciden en el actual nivel del italiano, sin embargo se genera discusión sobre las 'ventajas' que ofrece tener una moto que es tan superior al resto. Ni en la era de Valentin Rossi primero con Honda y después con Yamaha, ni en la de Jorge Lorenzo o Marc Márquez la moto dominante tenía tanta superioridad técnica como la que tiene la GP24, ya no solo sobre su hermana GP23, sino sobre todo las Aprilia y KTM, ésta última absolutamente descompuesta en su carrera de casa, marcada en rojo en el calendario de la fábrica austriaca y que rozó el fracaso. Además de Pecco, con la doble victoria, Jorge Martín mantuvo su persecución por el campeonato logrando, en Austria, lo que parecía era el máximo a lo que podía aspirar, dos segundas posiciones, sobre todo el sábado, cuando tuvo que pagar una doble long lap que puso en bandeja la medalla de plata a un Marc Márquez que se cayó yendo segundo. El domingo, en la carrera larga, Márquez se erigió en protagonista, al tener un montón de problemas, primero con una válvula del neumático, luego con el dispositivo de salida en parrilla, más tarde con un topetazo con Franco Morbidelli que le llevó a la 13ª posición y, desde allí, remontar hasta al cuarta, fuera del podio pero, sin duda, siendo el gran animador de una carrera que, por delante, estuvo todas las vueltas controlada y que brilló gracias a los adelantamiento del de Gresini. http://es.motorsport.com ORIOL PUIGDEMONT en X - @uri_puigdemont GERMÁN GARCÍA CASANOVA en X - @germax33 ALBERTO GOMEZ en X - @AlbertoGomezB  

El Mundial de MotoGP llegó a su ecuador el pasado fin de semana en Silverstone, donde Pecco Bagnaia recriminó duramente la actitud de Marc Márquez buscando rueda en la Q2, lo que catalogó de "ridículo". Izaskun Ruiz se une una vez más a Uri Puigdemont, Germán Garcia Casanova y Alberto Gomez en el podcast MotoGP 'Por Orejas', de Motorsport Network, y con ella analizamos la espectacular puesta en escena del gran premio en el que se conmemoró el 75 aniversario del Mundial de Motociclismo. Todos los equipos lucieron decoraciones vintage e incluso los presentadores de televisión se vistieron de época para la ocasión, que resultó ser un éxito por todo lo alto. Entrando en materia deportiva, el fin de semana británico vivió el primer doblete de la carrera de Enea Bastianini, que nunca antes había hecho podido en una sprint los sábados, y que esta vez se llevó la victoria en ambas carreras, sumando 37 puntos de una tacada. Eso, además de empinarle en la general hasta el tercer puesto, le coloca muy cerca, matemáticamente, de los dos primeros, que tras las carreras del fin de semana han vuelto a intercambiar posiciones, con Jorge Martín por delante de Bagnaia. ¿Va a entrar Bastianini, otro de los miembros de la 'diáspora' de Ducati a final de temporada, en la lucha por el título? Disparidad de opiniones, pero sobre todo de enfoque, ya que aún no entrando directamente, el italiano ha demostrado que puede restar muchos puntos a sus dos rivales y calentar la pelea por el campeonato. Antes de todo eso, el sábado en la clasificación del GP de Gran Bretaña, se pudo ver una imagen lamentable, la de muchos pilotos esperando en la pista la rueda de un rival. Bagnaia, al final de la sesión, explotó catalogando de "ridículo" que Márquez le siguiera en pista, una ataque directo y duro que, más que un enfado, da la impresión de formar parte de una estrategia dialéctica del italiano para empezar a marcar la distancia con el que será su nuevo compañero de equipo en Ducati. También los extraños movimientos internos de KTM, que se explican con cuentagotas y sin dar nombres, llaman la atención de los participantes en el podcast, así como la asunción del liderazgo en el desarrollo de la moto naranja por parte del jovencísimo Pedro Acosta. Otro de los debates del podcast es el nombramiento de un nuevo presidente del panel de comisarios de la FIM para 2025 en la persona de Simon Crafar, que tiene por delante la difícil misión de recuperar la confianza de los pilotos en una figura, la de Freddy Spencer, que en los últimos años, se había distanciado absolutamente de los auténticos protagonistas, los pilotos, que no creen ya en la eficacia y, sobre todo, en el criterio de sus forma de arbitrar el campeonato del mundo.

Este lunes el Mundial de MotoGP ha hecho público el nuevo reglamento técnico que regirá en el campeonato a partir de 2027, el podcast de Motorsport Network ha entrado al detalle de las nuevas reglas con el prestigioso técnico Ramón Forcada. A partir de 2027 el campeonato del mundo de MotoGP cambiará su actual reglamento técnico con la finalidad de dar un nuevo impulso a la competición. Entre las medidas más vistosas, se bajará la cilindrada de los prototipos de los actuales 1000 a 850cc; ser reducirá el número de propulsores por temporada y otros cambios para reducir la velocidad máxima y mejorar la seguridad. También bajará el peso de las motos o la capacidad del depósito de combustible. Más significativo aún, será la reducción del área del cuerpo aerodinámico de las motos, lo que hará que el carenado sea más estrecho y baje, sobre el papel, las turbulencias. También desaparecerán, completamente los dispositivos de altura, los famosos 'holeshot', incluso los que se utilizan para la salida, lo que reducirá, significativamente, los gastos. Uri Puigdemont, Germán Garcia Casanova y Alberto Gómez reciben en el podcast 'Por Orejas' de MotorsportNetwork la visita de uno de los técnicos más prestigiosos y legendarios del paddock de MotoGP, Ramón Forcada, tres veces campeón del mundo con Jorge Lorenzo, para que nos explique los entresijos de este nuevo reglamento, por dónde se puede atacar y qué representará para la competición. Forcada, que trabajó durante muchos años para Honda y que hasta hace unos pocos aún estaba en la primera fila de las carreras, con pilotos como Maverick Viñales o Andrea Dovizioso en Yamaha, nos cuenta la idiosincrasia de los fabricantes japoneses y los motivos por los que les está costando tanto reaccionar respecto a los europeos.

Pocas horas después de anunciarse la compra por parte de Liberty Media, propietaria del Mundial de MotoGP, de Dorna, la empresa que gestiona los principales campeonatos de dos ruedas, el Director Deportivo de MotoGP habla en exclusiva para el Podcast 'Por Orejas' de Motorsport Network. Uri Puigdemont, Germán Garcia Casanova y Alberto Gómez reciben la visita de Carlos Ezpeleta, con el que desgranan las claves de una de las noticias más importantes del año, la compra de Dorna por parte de Liberty Media, y el significado que puede tener este movimiento para el deporte. Durante la entrevista, Ezpeleta transmite un mensaje de absoluta tranquilidad para los aficionados al motociclismo, basándose en la permanencia de los actuales ejecutivos al frente del campeonato en la gestión, y a la intención de Liberty de mejorar el Mundial, no cambiarlo. "Estamos súper contentos. Hay varias cosas, pero sobre todo es un sentimiento de felicidad para todo el mundial y por supuesto para Dorna", dice Ezpeleta. "Es un reconocimiento al trabajo que hemos hecho, que una corporación como Liberty haya querido invertir en MotoGP", añade. "Yo creo que el aficionado a MotoGP tiene que estar contento y tiene que estar feliz de que vaya a poder seguir disfrutando de un deporte increíble, seguramente, y de una forma poco objetiva, por decirlo yo, el deporte, el motorsport más entretenido del mundo. Y el objetivo es seguir así".

La del Gran Premio de Tailandia de MotoGP fue, posiblemente, la mejor carrera de la temporada, incluso de los últimos años, con una batalla sin cuartel en cabeza entre Jorge Martín, que volvió a la senda de la victoria tras los errores de Indonesia y Australia; Brad Binder, que llevó a la KTM a unos niveles de velocidad estratosféricos, y un Pecco Bagnaia que tuvo que picar mucha piedra y pelearse con muchos rivales para llegar hasta los dos de delante y, al final, incluso presionarles, tanto que Binder pisó fuera de la pista en la última vuelta y Dirección de Carrera, tras la bandera a cuadros, le hizo perder una posición que colocó al italiano segundo. Uri Puigdemont, Germán Garcia Casanova y Alberto Gómez debaten, una vez más, el podcast MotoGP de Motorsport Network sobre lo mejor del fin de semana de carreras en Buriram, del impresionante triunfo de Martín, de la carrera bruta de Binder y de un Bagnaia que se defendió luchando contra todo el mundo para llegar al podio y, al final, salvar los muebles y mantenerse líder del campeonato del Mundo con 13 puntos de ventaja sobre el piloto de Pramac. También es motivo de debate en nuestro habitual podcast el futuro piloto del equipo Repsol Honda, uno de los asientos más deseados de la historia y que, ahora mismo, a falta de menos e un mes para acabar el Mundial, no tiene dueño y Honda no parece que lo acabe de encontrar. Por último y entre otras muchas cosas, hablamos también del wild card que protagonizará el bicampeón del mundo de SBK, el español Álvaro Bautista, que disputará el Gran Premio de Malasia al manillar de un Ducati tras demostrar que no ha tenido rival este año, ni el pasado, en la categoría de las motos derivadas de serie.

La noticia que más controversia y polvareda ha levantado en los últimos años en torno al Mundial de MotoGP, el futuro del ocho veces campeón del mundo Marc Márquez, quedó resuelta la pasada semana cuando Honda anunció la separación del piloto, al que ha liberado del año de contrato que unía a ambas partes hasta final de 2024. Emilio Pérez de Rozas se une a Uri Puigdemont, Germán Garcia Casanova y Alberto Gómez en el habitual podcast MotoGP de Motorsport Network para analizar, desde todos los ángulos posibles, la decisión tomada por el sensacional piloto de Cervera, cómo le afectó a él mismo, a su equipo de trabajo, a Honda y, sobre todo, cómo afectará a Ducati la llegada a su 'habitat' de un competidor de la voracidad del español.

Jorge Martín completó un fin de semana impecable en Motegi, con pole y victorias tanto en la sprint del sábado, como el domingo en una caótica carrera bajo la lluvia, donde el español demostró estar en un momento de forma impresionante tanto física como mentalmente. Uri Puigdemont, Germán Garcia Casanova y Alberto Gómez analizan en el podcast MotoGP de Motorsport Network la descomunal progresión de Martín tras recortar 63 puntos la diferencia con el líder del campeonato, el italiano Pecco Bagnaia, y cómo gestionará Ducati la batalla entre su buque insignia y el corredor de un equipo satélite, con otros colores y patrocinadores. Para la casa de Bolonia manejar la situación no va a ser nada sencillo, y menos con la igualdad absoluta que existe ahora entre los dos corredores al frente de la tabla llegando a la recta final del campeonato. Todo ello con el ruido mediático de una posible llegada de Marc Márquez, que brilló con el tercer puesto en Japón, primer podio del año, al equipo Gresini y, por tanto, a la nómina de pilotos que compiten con Ducati, con el consecuente meneo que puede significar eso en el corral de Bolonia.

Mientras Jorge Martín recortaba en una semana 30 puntos la ventaja de Pecco Bagnaia al frente de la general del Mundial de MotoGP, Marc Márquez agitaba las redes sociales jugando al despiste sobre su futuro.  Uri Puigdemont, Germán Garcia Casanova y Alberto Gómez se reúnen de nuevo en torno al podcast MotoGP de Motorsport Network, para analizar lo sucedido en la pista los fines de semana consecutivos de Barcelona y Misano, donde el Mundial ha pasado de estar prácticamente sentenciado en favor de Pecco a abrirse una pequeña grieta de luz por la que Martín puede intentar tener su oportunidad.  Deportivamente la balanza sigue pesando muchísimo en favor del italiano, pero lo sucedido el domingo de Barcelona demuestra que cualquier cosa puede pasar y que hay que manejar factores que, a veces, no controlan los propios pilotos. Y qué decir de Marc Márquez y su futuro que no se haya dicho. A estas alturas de la película se han escrito tantas cosas que lo mejor ya es esperar a una resolución para conocer dónde correrá el ocho veces campeón del mundo el próximo curso. Lo que sí analizamos es la nueva forma de información, cada vez de menor calidad y nula seriedad, lo que ha propiciado que los propios protagonistas, como Marc en este caso, hayan tomado la iniciativa de utilizar las redes para hacer ruido, reírse de los aseguran conocer su futuro y, también, echar un pulso al campeonato, demostrando que por más mal que le vaya en lo deportivo, de quien más se habla en MotoGP es de Márquez.

El fin de semana largo de Jerez abarcó desde el jueves, cuando Marc Márquez explicó por qué no disputa el GP de España, hasta el lunes, cuando se celebró el test oficial, con un gran premio de por medio que se llevó Pecco Bagnaia. El intenso y caluroso Gran Premio de España centra un nuevo debate en el podcast MotoGP 'Por Orejas' de Motorsport Network, en el que Uri Puigdemont, Germán Garcia Casanova y Alberto Gómez, que intercambian apasionadamente, en algunos casos, sus impresiones sobre todo lo vivido en Jerez, desde el anuncio el jueves de la baja de Marc Márquez y sus explicaciones, hasta los lamentos de los pilotos de Honda con la sensación de caos que se vive en el seno de la compañía japonesa. Los ingenieros de Tokio tomaron la decisión de que fuera Stefan Bradl el piloto que probara el nuevo chasis, una pieza en la que hay muchas esperanzas depositadas y que, ahora mismo, nadie sabe si aporta o no alguna mejora. En clave deportiva, el fin de semana tuvo una primera parte en la que brilló absolutamente Dani Pedrosa. Retirado desde final de 2018, el piloto de prueba de KTM reapareció como wild card en su circuito favorito y no solo logró liderar el primer entrenamiento, sino que se coló directo en la Q2 y estuvo luchando en las dos carreras siempre por los puestos delanteros, en una demostración absolutamente impresionante de su calidad y clase, y sobre todo de su profesionalidad, que le mantiene físicamente en plena forma cinco años después de su jubilación. Sin duda el fin de semana de Dani en el GP de España, en su circuito de Jerez, fue el gran homenaje de la afición que no pudo tener en su salida de Honda. A consecuencia de esa brillante actuación pudimos ver la reacción de los pilotos oficiales de KTM, Jack Miller y Brad Binder, ganador de la carrera sprint del sábado, y el domingo asistimos a la redención de Pecco Bagnaia. No era fácil para el italiano llegar a Jerez tras las caídas en Austin y Argentina, pero Pecco demostró que tiene fuste de campeón y en una lucha ajustadísima con Miller y Binder, se llevó una victoria sin paliativos que le coloca de nuevo líder del mundial con una ventaja ya considerable. En nuestro podcast también analizamos el momento critico por el que pasa Yamaha y las duras declaraciones de Fabio Quartararo, apuntando a una falta de competencia en la dirección del equipo, dejando entrever que faltaban ganas y motivación en esa estructura para volver a tener una moto ganadora como la de 2021. Todo ello con una acalorada discusión final sobre los criterios y sanciones de Dirección de Carrera, que durante el fin de semana fueron duramente criticadas desde todos los ángulos posibles

Concluido el primer test de la pretemporada MotoGP 2023, nuestros especialistas debaten sobre lo visto en las tres jornadas de trabajo de los equipos y pilotos en el circuito de Sepang. El enviado especial de Motorsport.com a los test de Sepang, Uri Puigdemont, se une a Germán Garcia Casanova y Alberto Gómez para tratar desgranas las primeras conclusiones del curso 2023 en el podcast MotoGP de Motorsport Network. Un análisis entre nuestros especialistas que deriva en una interesante debate sobre los indicativos que marcarán el devenir de la temporada. Las primeras conclusiones de Sepang son que Ducati no solo está un paso por delante del resto a nivel competitivo, sino que esa diferencia ha crecido y que la marca italiana cuenta con una gran variedad de pilotos que pueden optar, este año, a las victorias o, al menos, a estar regularmente luchando en las posiciones de cabeza. El debate se centra sobre si el defensor del título, Pecco Bagnaia, será capaz de afianzar su liderazgo como primera espada de la fábrica de Borgo Paniale, o si la lista de talentosos corredores al manillar de la Desmoseidici, con Enea Bastianini y Jorge Martín a la cabeza, tratarán de discutir ese liderazgo, una gestión del equilibrio que, ahora mismo, se antoja como el único 'problema' entre comillas para los gestores de Ducati. Otra marca que no deja de crecer es Aprilia, la casa de Noale ha mejorado ligeramente la moto con la que estuvo compitiendo el pasado año en el Mundial con Aleix Espargaró y llega el momento de la verdad para un piloto ganador de carreras como Maverick Viñales de demostrar que puede echar el resto. La llegada de sangre fresca como la de Miguel Oliveira y Raúl Fernández serán un plus para los italianos. Estas primeras jornadas de trabajo han servido, también, para comprobar que en Honda siguen con los mismos problemas que el año pasado y Marc Márquez no salió nada satisfecho de estos primeros ensayos, como tampoco lo hizo el líder de Yamaha, Fabio Quartararo, que acabó el test lejísimos de las primeras posiciones. KTM, que ha renovado su elenco de corredores, no dio, tampoco, muestras de haber dado un paso adelante que le sitúe en la lucha por el título que, tras varios años en el Mundial, debe ser ya el objetivo de la casa austríaca.

Jonathan Noble (F1 Editor, Motorsport.com) was watching both Free Practice sessions from trackside today, and spoke to the drivers and team bosses afterwards. He's speaking to Martyn Lee (Head of Podcasts, Motorsport Network) to analyse the form guide as the fuel came out and the soft tyres went on, for some quick laps. Arguably more interesting was to come, when the teams fuelled up and gave us a clue to their long run pace. Are Red Bull and Ferrari REALLY favourites for pole, and how bad are things for Mercedes?

El Mundial de MotoGP puso el punto final a la pretemporada 2022 el pasado fin de semana y a pocos días del inicio del Mundial, analizamos lo mejor y lo peor de los ensayos en Sepang y Mandalika. Faltan poco más de dos semanas para el arranque del Mundial de MotoGP 2022 y este pasado fin de semana se cerró el capítulo de los test de preparación para uno de los cursos más importantes de los últimos años. Uri Puigdemont y Germán Garcia Casanova analizan en el Podcast-MotoGP de Motorsport Network lo mejor y lo peor de una pretemporada crucial para la mayoría de fabricantes que, tras dos años de pandemia con el desarrollo de los motores congelados, presentan importantes novedades. En ese sentido, la irrupción de la Honda RC213V, completamente renovada, ha significado un total impacto al dar la impresión de que los japoneses han dado con la tecla y la nueva moto recién nacida empieza a demostrar sus cualidades, logrando liderar la hoja de tiempos después de tres días de trabajo en Indonesia. La otra cara de la moneda la protagonizó Ducati, la nueva máquina italiana, que a priori parecía iba a ser un mísil imparable, presentó más dificultades de las esperadas a los pilotos de la marca, que no pudieron explotar todo su potencial dejando claro que el proceso hasta llegar a los niveles de la moto de 2021 se tomará su tiempo. Yamaha jugó a decirnos que pintan bastos, sobre todo en boca del campeón del mundo Fabio Quartararo, que sin embargo dejó claro en sus tiempos sobre la pista que la M1 2022 es un gran aparato y que está preparado para defender la corona. También Suzuki parece haber hecho los deberes y contar con un prototipo ya listo para dar guerra desde el inicio de la temporada, sobre todo mejorando uno de su granes puntos débiles, la vuelta rápida en clasificación. Aprilia y KTM son ahora mismo un poco la incógnita de la pretemporada, aunque la moto italiana parecen haber dado un paso adelante importante habrá que verlas en la lucha durante las carreras, mientras que la casa austríaca no acaba de salir, aparentemente, del pequeño pozo en el que se metió la pasada temporada, tras perder las concesiones.

Autosport's annual podcast review of the year is finally here! Whilst recent headlines have been dominated by the drama in Abu Dhabi, the balance of power between Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton shifted many times throughout the season, and it was a year filled with storylines which deserve to be remembered. Today we go back to pre-season testing to remember what we learned even before the cars would race in Bahrain. With Ariana enjoying a well-earned break, Martyn Lee (Head of Podcasts, Motorsport Network) is joined by Alex Kalinauckas (Grand Prix Editor, Autosport) and Luke Smith (F1 Reporter, Autosport). In the first part of our retrospective we take you from early Mercedes dominance to a 32 point lead for Verstappen by the time teams left Austria, finishing with the first shoots of a Hamilton recovery heading into the summer break. With so much to discuss we split our season review podcasts into two parts. Look out for the concluding part on Monday 27th December.

Formula 1's return to Circuit Zandvoort is all thanks to the Max Verstappen fever from his home fans, but did they go home delighted or despondent? Ariana Bravo is joined for our review podcast by Luke Smith (F1 Reporter, Autosport) and Jess McFadyen (Director of Digital Strategy, Motorsport Network)  to analyse all the action down the grid. 

Calling Sunday's track action a ‘race' is stretching the definition according to many of those who sat through hours of delays, only to see the absolute minimum done to achieve a result. However, an official classification and podium ceremony was held after the shortest race in the history of Formula 1®. Despite that, there's a surprising amount of questions our readers and listeners want answered. Listen to today's podcast as Ariana Bravo is joined by Luke Smith (F1 Reporter, Autosport) and Jess McFadyen (Director of Digital Strategy, Motorsport Network) to discuss a controversial day.

Former broadcast colleague and now Motorsport Network president JAMES ALLEN explains what made Murray so special. Murray Walker's was a life extremely well-lived. He brought joy to tens of millions from Southend to Sydney and popularised the sport of motor racing for many generations. But what made Murray Walker the person and the broadcasting legend that he was? Fittingly for a man who was unique it was an exceptional combination of factors. First his heritage in the sport and passion for it. Like me, he was drawn in by a father who raced, in his case on motorbikes, and worked in the sport. He is known as the voice of F1, but Murray had a boundless enthusiasm for many racing categories and was equally at home providing the soundtrack to all of them. You have to be committed to travel the world and put yourself out there, race after race, year after year and Murray was still properly into his late 70s, when the relentless travelling inevitably began to catch up with him. Next was his ability to know what the audience wanted. That came from his long advertising career, where he made millions of consumers believe that ‘Trill makes budgies bounce with health', or that ‘a Mars a day helps you work, rest and play' among other slogans he either invented himself or oversaw as the account manager. Broadcasters are, by definition, on ‘transmit' all the time, but the best ones listen too. They know what messages and delivery styles cut through and resonate with the audience and Murray's was as thorough and well curated an approach as you will find. His notes were meticulous; tiny, tidy writing on a pad he rested on top of a camera tripod case he placed directly between him and the TV Monitor. The product of hours of walking the pitlane and paddock, chatting to people. He understood exactly what the British public loved about Nigel Mansell and Damon Hill and layered that into his commentary. He understood the mystique of Ferrari and how to express its triumphs and its failures. He knew what made Juan Manuel Fangio and Jim Clark great because he'd seen them race with his own eyes and so he knew greatness when Michael Schumacher burst onto the scene. Schumacher had immense fondness for Murray and appreciated how he handled the narrative of the German duelling with the plucky Brit. He brought to his commentary huge energy and emotion; he not only stood up to commentate, but was on the balls of his feet the whole time. He's known for his ‘gaffes' but they were an inevitable consequence of being permanently on the ragged edge, leaving no margin for error. If he'd been a driver he'd have spun off frequently, like Mika Hakkinen at Monza that time, where Murray brilliantly channelled the drama and empathy of the moment and found the perfect words, as he so often did. He was always ‘in the moment' and that is what you can hear in any of the clips you see on YouTube or Sky F1's Classic Race re-runs. We have heard since his sad passing at the age of 97 many stories of how he was so well respected. He could walk into any team garage or motorhome whenever he wanted, a privilege afforded to very few in F1. And this is true. But less well known is that he was just as much at home on the shop floor, with the mechanics and truckies, with whom he always spent time. his came from his experiences in World War II when he was called up to serve in the Tank Regiment and became part of the force that swept through mainland Europe and brought the war to an end in 1945. Britain was very class ridden and hierarchical in those days and Murray didn't care for people with aristocratic airs and graces. Life in the barracks threw everyone in together and made everyone the same and Murray loved that. It also made him the man he was; he treated everyone the same whether you were Ayrton Senna or his gearbox man. We could fill volumes with the stories about him and the anecdotes that he told. We travelled the world together for five years, I drove him from airport to hotel to race track and heard his countless stories, shared many great moments on air and was privileged to have had so much time with a man whose unique appeal you are seeing reflected now in the tributes to him. He loved being Murray Walker and all that came with it and he would be pleased and proud with the send-off he is receiving. A gentleman, a pioneer, an Everyman and an exceptional man. That was Murray Walker.

Formula 1's 2021 pre-season testing was a fast and furious three days in the desert. Unlike recent years with three different tests, or going back to further to unlimited testing, the last three days required an intense plan from the teams. Tyres, fuel loads and new aero parts all had to be evaluated in a vastly compressed time.. For McLaren, the only team moving engine partner, they had to assess their winter efforts to integrate a new Mercedes power unit. So who were the winners and losers? We think Red Bull are a credible threat from the very start of the season unlike recent campaigns. Mercedes are not in dire straits but they never looked comfortable, whether that was a car which wasn't dialed in, to Hamilton making unforced errors. Aston Martin had a tricky test and, whilst Vettel and Stroll are both upbeat, they would have loved more miles to understand the car. Surely Vettel's vast experience means he will have a good idea about the potential of the car, even if they couldn't deliver an ultimate lap time this week.

It’s not every day you get a Zoom call from the President of the Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA), but that’s what happened earlier when Jean Todt called us from his office to speak with James Allen (President, Motorsport Network) and Jonathan Noble (Motorsport.com F1 Editor). He talks about the challenges facing global motorsport when racing returns, what he thinks of F1 stakeholders striking a new deal and the controversial FIA settlement with Ferrari regarding their 2019 engine.

Welcome to episode 1 of the Cool Down Podcast, and welcome to Jess, ex WTF1 and current Director of Digital Strategy at Motorsport Network. We talk her departure from WTF1, her life leading up to a career in motorsport, and why she's wrong about the Alpha Tauri livery.

On Monday in Valencia Honda announced it would be partnering Marc Marquez with his Moto2 world champion brother in MotoGP next season. On Thursday in Valencia, Jorge Lorenzo announced his retirement, with rumours immediately swirling as to who could replace him at the works Honda team. Sensationally, Alex Marquez emerged as a contender, with Autosport revealing on Friday that a deal was close to being agreed between both parties. With the news now official, Motorsport.con’s Global MotoGP Editor Oriol Puigdemont and Autosport’s Motorcycle Racing Correspondent Lewis Duncan discuss the move on the latest edition of the Tank Slappers podcast. Oriol and Lewis also share their fondest memories of Lorenzo’s glittering career, and discuss the rumours linking Johann Zarco – thought to be in line for Lorenzo’s Honda – to the Avintia Ducati team for next year.

KTM’s quest to find a replacement for Johann Zarco in its factory MotoGP team for 2020 may be nearing its end with a surprising name.Numerous riders, including World Superbike star Alvaro Bautista, ex-KTM man Bradley Smith and Moto2 frontrunner Remy Gardner, have been linked to the vacant works RC16 for the 2020 season.Test rider Mika Kallio’s call-up for the final six races of the season appeared to be a dress rehearsal for a full-time bow next year, but his performances have so far gone wanting. Now it appears KTM has settled on double Moto2 podium finisher and current American Team KTM rider Iker Lecuona to join Pol Espargaro – if strong rumours emerging in the German press are to be believed. The latest edition of the Tank Slappers podcast with Motorsport.com’s Global MotoGP Editor Oriol Puigdemont and Autosport’s Motorcycle Racing correspondent Lewis Duncan dig further into this rumour. They also ask if the successes of Petronas SRT rookie Fabio Quartararo has prompted KTM to take its own gamble on an unknown quantity in MotoGP, and look ahead to this weekend’s Australian Grand Prix from Phillip Island.The Tank Slappers podcast is Autosport and the Motorsport Network’s weekly podcast for all things two-wheeled, and can be found on Apple Podcasts via iTunes, Google Podcasts and Spotify – simply search for ‘Tank Slappers’.

Always seemed inevitable that Marc Marquez would bring it home, and he did, with his 8th World Championship cemented in another brilliant last-lap victory in Thailand.

On the Formula One circuit, tenths and even hundredths of seconds can be the difference between podium glory and being out of a job. Races are won and lost thanks to the skills of the drivers and the strength of the car, it is true.  But as the sheer volume of data available to F1 teams increases, another group of individuals have become key contributors to a team’s success: data analysts. Analysts run countless simulations, incorporating every possible variable, to inform their drivers’ race strategy on Sunday and achieve maximum performance for the driver and the racecar. But while salaries and sponsorships can push a driver’s annual income into the 8-figure range, the mathematical brains in the background make just a fraction of that. If the person analyzing the numbers and making decisions about race strategy is just as important as the person steering the wheel, shouldn’t they also be reaping the financial windfall? James Allen certainly thinks so. The President of Motorsport Network, James has covered Formula 1 as a journalist for over 30 years and has seen firsthand the sport’s data-driven revolution. We asked James to defend his position.

On recent podcast episodes, I have spoken with Real Madrid about becoming the first sporting brand to reach 100m likes on Facebook. Then Umbel the first-party data management platform that empowers sporting clubs to engage better and understand their audience. The Motorsport Network also revealed how they were accelerating the digital transformation of F1 and Motorsport. But, this got me thinking if But, this got me thinking if technology is also directly impacting actual sports by enhancing skills or continuous improvement. Under most people's radar, I quickly discovered that the game of golf is being transformed by companies such as Arccos Golf. The Arccos Caddie is golf’s first artificial intelligence (AI) platform, highlighted by real-time “Plays Like” distance calculations that precisely account for the impact wind speed, wind direction and elevation have on how far each shot travels. Arccos offers advanced analytics for golfers by leveraging the power of data, cloud computing, and machine learning to deliver insights that help golfers of all skill levels to maximize their potential and optimize their enjoyment. Arccos Caddie analyzes over 75 million shots of users on 368 million geotagged data points from more than 40,000 courses. It then gives caddie-like feedback customized to each player, which takes into account wind speed, wind direction, precipitation, temperature, elevation and more with its new update. Powered by the Microsoft Azure cloud platform, Arccos Caddie has been further enhanced with refined machine learning and AI algorithms, as well as persistent displays of wind and elevation data throughout the round. These combine to ensureArccos Caddie users can shoot lower scores by harnessing advanced analytics to make smarter, data-driven decisions on the course. Released in beta this year, Arccos Caddie is the first AI platform for golf. Through a partnership with Microsoft, Arccos uses the Microsoft Azure cloud platform to give insights that are on par with what PGA tour pros get from their caddies. I invited Sal Syed, CEO, and Co-Founder of Arccos Golf onto the show to learn more about this golf performance tracking System and how an AI caddie in your pocket is helping golfers improve.    

I recently spoke to Real Madrid football club and how they became the first sporting brand to reach 100 million likes on Facebook. The NFL went through a digital redesign a few years ago too, but I wanted to find out how the digital transformation is revolutionizing the world of F1 Racing and how F1 is going digital. The Motorsport Network has experienced rapid growth in the past two years to become the world's largest independent automotive and motorsport-related digital platform connecting hundreds of millions of people that love motorsport and cars. The Motorsport Network, the owner of Autosport, F1 Racing, and Motorsport.com, recently completed a second Global Fan Survey about Formula 1 to build on its record-breaking study in 2015. The Motorsport Network is the world’s biggest motorsport and automotive media network – featuring major titles including Motorsport.com, Autosport.com, and Motor1.com. But what captured both my attention and imagination was learning about the Formula 1 global fan survey in 15 languages and receiving fan feedback from 194 countries.   I invited Motorsport Network CEO Colin Smith onto the show to find out more.      

In less than three years, Motorsport Network has gone from a ‘twinkle in the eye’ idea to the world’s largest digital disruptor in the auto sport industry. The company has acquired 24 major entities in the industry, including Autosport.com, and it has no intention of stopping anytime soon.

The survey results are out - and they paint a positive picture. But then, Autosport would say that anyway. Episode 170 of The NR F1 Podcast sees the crew address the serious headlines from the results of the Motorsport Network's global F1 survey. We also ask if Robert Kubica could do the unthinkable, plus we catch up with our very own F3 Cup driver and team. * * * The British county of Norfolk is where the iconic success of Team Lotus was cultivated, where Ayrton Senna, Martin Brundle, Mark Webber and more honed their race craft - and home to The NR F1 Podcast.

It's been promised for weeks - and now it's here. What started off as a great, big light bulb moment, quickly became the sort of farce that had Steve Rust shaking his head in his hands.
