Technically speaking, this means it's still been 105 days since a Marquez failed to win. Technically.
It was a tale of two races in Barcelona, as Alex Marquez went from Zero-to-Hero, crashing out from a comfortable lead in the Sprint and gifting Marc Marquez his 15th consecutive win, before coming back on Sunday to take his second GP victory and beating older brother Marc straight up for the first time all season.
The boys also review the rest of action, including Fabio Quartararo and Yamaha's soon-to-debut V4, Pecco Bagnaia and the latest in his struggles, and the changing face of MotoGP as Guenther Stiener becomes MotoGP's newest owner, leading a consortium to buy out Tech3 KTM for $20m. Is it a sign of things to come for the sport with F1 kicking the door down to invest?

We just can't have anything straightforward at McLaren can we?
Dre, Cam and RJ are back to make sense of F1's latest trip to Monza's Cathedral of Speed and the 2025 Italian Grand Prix.
One part was straight-forward and that was Max Verstappen, whose work with Red Bull's new floor and new low-downforce package led to the fastest lap and race in F1 history, a lap at 164mph, and a race that was over in just 73 minutes, at an averagew speed of 155!
But behind him, there was drama with the McLaren's running second and third. Lando Norris had a bad final stop via a faulty wheel gun, allowing Oscar Piastri to get back in front, only for McLaren to call for fairness, and to swap the drivers back around. Is this okay? Should McLaren aim for fairness with its riders, even with team orders on the table?
And finally, is Stefano Domenicalli right for steering F1 towards "shorter attention-spans" in its younger audiences with radical ideas such as reverse grid sprint races, less practice time, or even shorting races themselves? All that and more on another Motorsport101!

Just when you thought the title fight was reaching its climax...
Dre and RJ Review the 2025 Dutch GP from Zandvoort, as Oscar Piastri lead from lights to flag in the Australian's first career Grand Slam victory., But right behind him, a severed oil line via Lando Norris' chassis lead to a DNF, and a 34-point mountain to climb for the British driver, meaning likely having to win at least 7 of the final 9 races to take the title. Can it be done?
Further behind, it was a disaster day for Ferrari as Lewis Hamilton crashed out running wide at Hugenholtz, only for teammate Charles Leclerc to be taken out laps later by a hard-charging Kimi Antonelli. Is the talk of Antonelli being dropped and his struggles becoming too big a deal?
Also, Isack Hadjar took advantage of a brilliant qualifying lap and Norris' blow-up to finish 3rd, his first podium in F1, and the 5th youngest driver ever to do so. Is he in line for a Red Bull promotion, and if so... does he even want it?

We'll be honest, it's rare when IndyCar takes priority over F1 or MotoGP in this network. However, given all the bombshells coming out of the series that affects now only IndyCar, but potentially European Motorsport and F1, we thought we'd make an exception.
Dre and RJ sit down to discuss the final round of the IndyCar season first, the Music City Grand Prix from Nashville Superspeedway. And it turned out to be a home win and a small season salvager for Josef Newgarden and Team Penske, taking just their second win of 2025 in an intense battle with Alex Palou (again), as well as teammate and ex-Bus Bro Scott McLaughlin. There's also the elements of some nasty blocking penalties, and Pato O'Ward's leading car suffering another Firestone tire blowout, the fifth of 2025. Awkward.
But the bombshells have come since the race was over. Just yesterday at time of upload, Will Power announced he was quitting Team Penske after 17 years with the team, with the Australian seemingly heading to Andretti for 2026 replacing... Colton Herta?!
The American is seemingly dead set on an all-in attempt to get to F1, leaving Andretti to head to PREMA Racing's F2 team to try and get the last 5 points needed for him to gain an F1 Superlicence and possibly, a Cadillac seat in the future. Dre and RJ try to break down Will Power's Penske legacy and what next for him, his likely replacement in David Malukas, and then the risks involved in Colton's European move and what it could mean for his racing future. And why there's already a case study as to why this might not work...

Just when you thought you'd seen it all in IndyCar in 2025, an act of god led to a miraculous win for a driver many of us said should be parked after Portland!
Dre, Cam and RJ review the 2025 Milwaukee Mile race, with Cam actually there in person and still recovering from how good the root beer was. He's also rather posiitve about the track's chances going forward given an improved turnout on 2024 and better side-attractions to get people through the door.
But with a very brief rain shower with just 40 laps to go, it led to the majority of the field pitting, and Christian Rasmussen using a 17-lap tire delta and incredibly reckless bravery working the high line to gun down Alex Palou and beat him for the win, with the Spaniard leading 199 out of 250 laps in defeat. Wild.
We also talk more broadcasting issues for FOX, Dennis Hauger's future after winning the Indy NXT title, and iRacing producing an IndyCar video game for 2026. Enjoy!

What'chu know about seven? Pay me!
Dre, Cam and RJ are back with another biking edition of Motorsport101, as MotoGP headed to Balaton Park for the sport's first Hungarian Grand Prix for 33 years! And with it, a shocking result - Marc Marquez extending his winning streak to 14, winning both his 7th Sprint and GP in a row, and his 10th of 2025.
We talk about the biggest talking point of the weekend - Balaton Park itself, with much controversy over the tracks potential safety hazards and whether it should remain on the calendar for the long term. Dre, has a hot take, he doesn't hate it...
Of course beyond the obvious of Marquez's brilliance, we also talk about the other contenders around him. Marco Bezzecchi's fourth podium in his last five GP's as he cements himself as the sport's leading chaser. How Pedro Acosta recovered from a dreadful Saturday to a great Sunday. And how Fermin Aldeguer tried and failed to follow-up on his excellent Austrian weekend.
There's also a silly season review as Jack Miller is confirmed to be staying with Pramac Yamaha for 2026, Diogo Moreira is heading to LCR Honda and what it means for Idemitsu's pairing with the team and South East Asia. And Dre ponders, is there underlying meanings to a Brazilian getting on the grid over Spain's Manu Gonzalez? All that and more on another Motorsport101!

Our bikes is back! MotoGP finally returns after a three-week summer break, and the sport heading to Austria and the Red Bull Ring for Round 13 of 22, and the second verse was the same as the first for Marc Marquez who took his sixth Sprint and Grand Prix win in a row.
But again, it wasn't a straight forward story for Marc, who had to fight off a valiant effort from Marco Bezzecchi, who was at it again with his third podium in the last four races, and a surprise late onrush from Fermin Aldeguer who stormed through to second from ninth on the grid, and his career highest finish to date.
But taking up another large chunk of the Podcast, was the struggles of Pecco Bagnaia, and a Sprint race where he had to park it due to what he claimed was a dud rear tyre, and a bullying off the road in the race where he dropped to eighth place. Just what is going on in his camp, with Pecco admitting that he's "running out of patience" with Ducati in the wait for answers. Code for something else, or just general frustration?
And finally, Casey Stoner was in the house and he was open about what he dislikes about the current product, like Sprint races, electronic supports with stability control entering the sport out of nowhere, and more. Is he right? All that and more on another Motorsport101!

It was inevitable and we all saw it coming - But Alex Palou can finally say he's a four-time IndyCar Series Champion. Yes, it was a gift after Pato O'Ward's ECU burnt to a crisp, but it was all wrapped up in an intense decider in Portland as IndyCar heads towards the end of its 2025 season.
Will Power did what he had to do at the front, using an alternate strategy and immense raw pace to leapfrog Felix Rosenqvist and then lead from the front, holding off Christian Lundgaard and an off-sequence Alex Palou at the end in a tense but ultimately futile final fight. Power wins to avoid Penske's first winless season since 1999, and questions remain asked - Is it time for Penske to move on from one its greatest drivers?
There was also an intense fight between Conor Daly and Christian Rasmussen that ended with Daly careening into the outside wall at over 100mph, and accusations that the Dane did it on purpose. But Dre argues it wasn't as simple as that and we'll debate that on the show.
And finally, FOX now owns a third of the series as a whole, as well as the Speedway. Is that as good a move for the series as some think? All that and more on another Motorsport101!

The Motorsport101 gang is back in full! Dre, Cam and RJ are back to make sense of a highly strategic and tense Hungarian Grand Prix, celebrating their 40th edition of the staple race on the calendar. (And Dre drops some important personal news)
McLaren pulled off their fourth 1-2 finish in a row, the first time they've done so since Senna and Prost in 1988 - But it didn't come easy! Oscar Piastri had to deal with a resurgent return to form for Charles Leclerc, who led from pole for two-thirds of the race. Unfortunately for the Monaco man, a strange change in his car after the final round of stops crippled the Scuderia.
It also opened the door for Lando Norris to come back from fifth on the opening laps, run the optimal 1-stop strategy and come back to win, holding off Piastri at the end. Should McLaren be running both cars on the same strategy? Is it unfair?
We also deep dive on that horrible stricken Ferrari and a calamitous weekend on the whole as Lewis Hamilton qualified and finished 12th and called himself "useless", all in the wake of Leclerc losing a possible win and Fred Vasseur signing a long-term extension. Is now the time for chaos at Ferrari?

He's almost there. And in a near flawless fashion, Alex Palou put one hand and four fingers on the Astor Cup, with another dominating, suffocating display at Laguna Seca. And with his eighth win of the season, Palou is now chasing history, and one of the oldest records in North American Motorsport history.
Dre and RJ review what was a comprehensive beating of the field, ahead of Christian Lundgaard's McLaren and Colton Herta's Andretti, and what it'll take for Palou to win the title in Portland this weekend, a track he's won at twice before.
There's also a chat about some of the mishaps in the field, such as Simpson and Rosenqvist's Lap 1 tangle, and the continued incompetence of IndyCar's stewarding, with Rinus Veekay and Marcus Ericsson left vulnerable on track for nearly two minutes each as the series was reluctant to throw the caution.
