After Misano, let’s hope the off-track chatter at Aragon doesn’t once again eclipse the on-track action Right now the world’s MotoGP media is all agog, counting down the minutes and seconds to 17.00 hours on Thursday. The reason: a live edition of the latest episode of the MotoGP pantomime, a kind of petrol-head’s soap opera, during which Valentino Rossi and Jorge Lorenzo will be encouraged to say nasty things about each other by journalists hungry for Friday morning newspaper headlines, or Thursday afternoon clickbait. All the world is a stage and MotoGP is just one tiny corner of it. The human interaction between racers is always fascinating, but when we shift into that other dimension where the off-track bullshit overshadows the on-track action, I started to feel jaded, like I’ve been watching too much rubbish TV. We’ve been here before, of course. Very recently. Perhaps this is MotoGP’s new reality and I’m just not X-Factor enough to get it. Back in bike racing’s dim and

Mercedes’ domination on track owes much to the relentless way in which they’ve continued to develop the standard-setting F1 W07 Hybrid since the start of the season. One of the latest areas of the car to see revisions is the brake discs… With the brakes on an F1 car regularly exceeding 1,000 degrees C, dissipating heat efficiently is a major concern in order to keep the brakes working effectively over a sustained period of time. Mercedes' latest development - giving their brake discs a concave/scalloped edge - is a move that has likely been made to improve cooling efficiency, with the revised shape (believed to be an F1 first) enlarging the surface area of the disc and improving fluid dynamics within the brake drums. On top of a direct performance advantage, improved heat dissipation helps the disc stay in an operating 'sweet spot' - which has an additional benefit in terms of tyre temperatures. - Formula1

There's no let up in the heat as the teams and drivers move from Singapore to Kuala Lumpur's Sepang International Circuit for this weekend's 2016 Formula 1 Petronas Malaysia Grand Prix. Those involved preview the action... Manor Pascal Wehrlein “I’m certainly hoping for better things than in Singapore. That was a great venue and I enjoyed every bit of the experience, especially the night race factor, but it was not such a good weekend for our package. This race has seen very high temperatures and humidity levels in the past. It’s going to be tough, even with the change to a later slot in the calendar, but the fast and flowing circuits give us a better starting point. Plus, the wet tyre testing I had last week [for Pirelli] will probably come in handy here!” Esteban Ocon “Three [successive] race distances ticked off is certainly important for me, after starting my F1 career over halfway through the season. It hasn’t all been plain sailing though an

  What an amazing season! The most thrilling and unpredictable in recent memory and eight different winners in  eight consecutive races,  something that’s never happened before in almost 70 years of premier-class racing. It seems like MotoGP is entering a new golden era, the like of which we’ve never seen. All thanks to Dorna, of course, for forcing the manufacturers to lease fully competitive motorcycles to independent teams and telling them to junk their priceless, tailor-made electronics in place of Magneti Marelli’s same-for-all unified software. Suddenly it seems like pretty much everyone has a chance of winning a race because the machinery is so equal. Well, please allow me to pop that particularly fantasy bubble. Dorna has helped, no doubt, as has the rainy summer, but there is one simple reason for this enjoyably unpredictable racing; indeed, it’s all down to one single part of the motorcycle: the front tyre.
