Marquez Sweeps to Victory in Hungary, Extends Title Lead – SUCH TV

Marc Marquez continued his winning streak as he cruised to victory in the Hungarian Sprint race by almost three seconds on Sunday to pad his championship lead.

It was a seventh straight Sprint victory for the Spaniard who has also won the last six longer Sunday grand prix races on his factory Ducati.

Fabio Di Giannantonio, an Italian with the VR46 Ducati satellite team was a distant second at Balaton Park, followed by his team-mate and compatriot Franco Morbidelli third.

Marquez, a six-time world champion, started the race from pole position.
“I felt someone really close on the first corner, from there I quickly found a fast rhythm,” Marquez said. “I’m very happy with this victory.”
He extended his lead in the world championship to 152 points over his younger brother Alex Marquez, who finished eighth on his Ducati Gresini.
Italian Francesco Bagnaia, the second rider on the official Ducati team, failed to score any points after finishing 13th.

Piastri extends championship lead with Spanish Grand Prix victory
The double world champion had struggled in qualifying at the end of the morning, setting only the 15th fastest time.
The race lost three riders in the first few seconds.

Frenchman Fabio Quartararo started on the second row, was the ridr who gave Marc Marquez a first corner scare, braking late on his Yamaha and then colliding with Italian Enea Bastianini.

Quartararo crashed, Bastianini managed to keep his KTM on the track but a few corners later, he ran into the back of the second French rider Johann Zarco’s Honda, ending the race for both of them.

Lando Norris, earlier this month, trimmed McLaren team-mate Oscar Piastri’s lead in the drivers’ world championship to just 14 points when he switched tactics to lead him home by just 0.698 seconds in a thrilling finish at the Hungarian Grand Prix.

The 25-year-old Briton, who moved from a two-stop strategy to one stop, held off series leader Piastri, on fresher tyres, over the closing laps of a strategic contest to claim McLaren’s 200th victory and their record 13th win in Hungary.

It was Norris’s first win at the Hungaroring in the event’s 40th race, avenging his ‘team orders’ defeat in 2024 when Piastri claimed his maiden success, his fifth victory of the season and the ninth of his career.
