Martin’s Grip Crisis at Aragon | F1 News
Description
Jorge Martin’s Aragon weekend was a stark contrast to his Silverstone dominance, finishing fifth after qualifying way off the pace — but he’s not panicking. While some blame the bike, teammate Marco Bezzecchi thrived on the same Aprilia, proving it’s not mechanical. Martin pinpointed a consistent lack of grip as the culprit, making it hard to build speed and forcing him to adapt his riding style. He carried over the setup that revived his confidence at Silverstone — even if performance dipped at Aragon — and still felt comfortable behind the wheel. Calling it “damage limitation,” he prioritized safety over risk on his worst track of the season. With 19 points still leading the championship and nine races left, Martin remains confident, focused on mastering low-grip conditions and staying ahead in the fight for glory.
