Marc Marquez He faces the final four Grands Prix with few options to compete for the world championship. Despite his good second half of the championship, that of Cervera noticed the disadvantage with the Ducati from 2024 and was not able to match the pace of these bikes at times.
Despite this, their victories this year and their countless comebacks have shown once again that Marquez He is a driver without a middle ground, he goes to the limit whatever the situation he finds himself in, and that comes at a price.
According to the regulations, each driver has seven engines throughout the season. Marc has already lost the engines 1, 2 and 5 due to racing events like the last one that happened in Indonesia where the engine said enough and ended up setting the whole bike on fire.
In anticipation of the next Grand Prix, the eight-time world champion only has four engines, all already used. There is, however, a rule that can give a little more oxygen to Marquez I am thinking in particular of the Malaysian and Valencia Grands Prix.
In the absence of these two grand prix to end the season, the premier category allows drivers to choose to use a eighth engine new only for the last two races. This measure will allow Marc to reach the end of the season with a little more margin but he must take into account the fact that he will face Australia and Thailand with only used engines.
