The four-time race winner came into the new campaign as hot favourite to challenge for the championship after finishing 2021 runner-up, while declaring in November’s Jerez test that Ducati had improved on an already “perfect bike”.

Perspective can be an incredible tool. And the shocking events unfolding in Ukraine have certainly put other problems into perspective.

And yet all sport can have a vital role
Honda has completely revised its RC213V for 2022 after several difficult seasons on the bike, with Marquez’s 2020 injury layoff and physical problems in 2021 prompting HRC into a rethink.

Kyle Busch and Martin Truex Jr. were battling back-and-forth for the win when a caution for a wreck with two laps remaining sent the race into overtime, opening up the chance for Bowman to strike.

5:50 AM ET Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc compared the “porpoising” sensation in new Formula One cars to turbulence on a plane and said it made him feel ill in the opening preseason test. F1’s new cars displayed one very odd bit of behaviour at the first test in Spain, bouncing up and down on their
Tandy will complete a full campaign in the WEC for the first time since Porsche LMP1’s programme came to an end in 2017, partnering his regular IMSA team-mate Tommy Milner in Corvette’s sole C8.R in the GTE Pro division.

Quartararo has made no secret of his displeasure at an apparent lack of progress from Yamaha in getting more top speed from its bike and said in pre-season testing that he’d already reached the limit of the 2022 M1. The reigning world champion could do no better than 11th on the grid for Sunday’s 22-lap season-opener
Krack started work at Aston Martin this week after serving out his notice with his previous employer BMW.

Martin got a terrible launch from pole position and slid to eighth on the opening lap, while Bagnaia went from ninth to 16th at one stage. The latter managed to recover positions into the top 10 by mid-distance and tried to overtake Martin into Turn 1 on lap 12, but he tucked the front on
The 2020 Moto2 world champion claimed his first victory in the premier class and the Gresini team’s first since 2006 when he stormed to the win in the opening round of the 2022 campaign on his year-old Ducati.

All teams experienced the effect on the Spanish track’s main straight to a greater or lesser degree and a lot of focus centred on Leclerc after a video clip posted by F1 caught his Ferrari F1-75 suffering extreme levels of porpoising. In Barcelona teams were able to dial it out with rideheight and aero adjustments but
Vinales won the Qatar GP in 2021 when he rode for Yamaha and is twice a winner at the event. After a strong pre-season on the 2022 Aprilia, Vinales has been off-colour all weekend at Losail and could do no better than 19th on the grid while team-mate Aleix Espargaro was fifth – with almost
Albon lost his Red Bull drive at the end of the 2020 F1 season and rather than being picked up by sister team AlphaTauri, the Anglo-Thai driver instead spent a year outside the category, racing an AF Corse Ferrari in the DTM.

One-lap pace has been a key problem for the Suzuki duo in the past, with Mir and team-mate Alex Rins only scoring two front row starts in 2021. Suzuki ended Friday in Qatar fastest of all, with Rins first and Mir third, and looked to have made a step in time attack mode. But in
The six-time MotoGP world champion guided his radically revised 2022 Honda to third on the grid in Saturday’s first qualifying session of the season at the Losail International Circuit.

F1 squads were caught on the hop in the first pre-season test at Barcelona in Spain last week with the way the new ground-effect cars bounced down the straights.
