This was one of the most exciting races I can remember. For the first time in a few years, I literally spent the last maybe 9 laps on the edge of my seat. It looked like any one of the four in the leading group could win until fairly late in the race. And, OMG what kind of finish was that? Bastianini was .034 seconds behind Pecco, and gaining. If these two keep this up as partners next year, and Marquez comes back in full form, 2023 will be amazing. Then of course, there's Maverick, and Quartararo. I think it's time for a little lie-down.

I'm still questioning if he could pass him but didn't because, points, but wanted everyone to know he could win. Or. He couldn't win, Pecco really did beat him. Team orders? No team orders? No clue. (Officially, no team orders, if you pass go ahead but make it clean) Crazy great race is all I know for sure.

He tried to make the pass, and it was questionable from the looks of it - then got behind a bit. I think he gave it his all, no team orders needed or heeded. Great finish to a pretty exciting race. And if FQ isn't loose and fast, this championship will get away from him. Pecco is on a stronger run than he was this time last year. One mistake will end it of course, but that's why we line up!

I still don't understand how Bastianini got so much drive out of that last corner, with a tighter line on entry to boot... He even got the fastest lap of the race on his last lap, while being bogged down by Bagnaia, they were sided by side and Bagnaia braked earlier. Nite that he didn't brake late, or he would have collected Bagnaia. He had to brake harder. Bagnaia was scared of pushing harder, tires shot. So I think his thinking was really trying to go as fast as he could and push Bagnaia into a mistake, best case scenario for him. I didn't pass, he crashed it! 😂 On Tue, Sep 6, 2022, 08:01 Tony Pags <ajpags@gmail.com> wrote: > He tried to make the pass, and it was questionable from the looks of it - > then got behind a bit.

All of those things BUT nobody complained about tires at all this weekend and in fact they mentioned that they were glad to be able to push the whole race without worrying about tire degradation.
