    Only One F1 Driver Has Won 100 Races. MotoGP Now Has Three.

    In Formula 1, in over 70 years of racing, only one driver has ever won 100 Grand Prix races. Lewis Hamilton — 105 wins. Michael Schumacher never got there. He finished on 91. In MotoGP, Marc Márquez just became the third rider in history to reach 100.But here's the question worth asking: Hamilton did it in the most dominant car in modern F1 history. Márquez did it on a bike that arguably isn't even the fastest on the grid right now — the Aprilia leads the championship. So should Márquez's 100 count for more?Stats:Agostini 122 = 68 premier (500cc) + 54 in 350cc | Rossi 115 = 89 premier + 26 in 125cc/250cc | Márquez 100 = 74 MotoGP + 26 in Moto3/Moto2Hamilton 105 + 5 GP2 (2006) ≈ 110 | Schumacher 91 + ~10–15 German F3 ≈ 101–106 | Verstappen 71 + ~12 junior ≈ 83In this video:the Turn 1 crash that sent both championship leaders to zero points on the same lap, Pedro Acosta's near-miss — and why what you were watching was actually a preview of what happens when he and Márquez are Factory Ducati teammates in 2027 — and the man-vs-machine argument that makes this particular 100 different to Hamilton's.Ride Along Trackside breaks down MotoGP for motorsport fans who know F1 and want to understand why motorcycle racing is worth following.Subscribe so you don't miss the Brno breakdown when it drops.Lap Times:00:00 Round 8 at Balaton Park00:43 Major Stories01:04 A Messy Grand Prix Sunday01:45 Championship Standings02:20 Acosta at War vs Marquez03:31 100 Wins in MotoGP vs F104:48 It’s the Rider, Not the Machinery06:15 Ducati's 100th Win + What's Next#MotoGP #HungarianGP #MarcMarquez #Marquez100 #MotoGP2026 #PedroAcosta #MotoGPvsF1 #RideAlongTrackside #MotoGPRats #Ducati #MotoGPHighlights #BalalonPark #F1 #Motorsport #MotoGPChampionship

    MotoGP Packed 3 Races Into One Afternoon. F1 Has a Safety Car.

    MotoGP had 2 red flags, 3 restarts, and the rider in the crash won. F1 has a safety car.Ride Along Trackside - subscribe for weekly MotoGP breakdowns: linktr.ee/ridealongtracksideRound 6 in Barcelona was one of the most chaotic MotoGP weekends of 2026 and it shows you something about the sport that no F1 race weekend ever could. The 2024 world champion failed to make it out of qualifying. The championship leader crashed in Q2. The Grand Prix was red-flagged twice. And the rider collected in the pile-up that caused the first stoppage came back and won, with Valentino Rossi watching from the barrier.This week we compare what a MotoGP race weekend looks like against F1 - the qualifying formats, what happens when things fall apart, and why the chaos produced one of the most remarkable wins of the season.- Why MotoGP qualifying is more unpredictable than F1- Two red flags, three restarts, and a mechanical failure that changed the championship- Diggia wins from the crash, with Valentino watching trackside- Championship standings after R6: Bezzecchi leads, but nobody's comfortableDo you think this kind of chaos makes MotoGP better than F1, or does it just make the championship harder to follow?

    Why MotoGP Riders Brake Later Than Any F1 Driver Ever Could

    F1 cars brake harder. Pull more g. Stop in a shorter distance. So why is the MotoGP rider doing something more demanding?Ride Along Trackside - subscribe for weekly MotoGP breakdowns: linktr.ee/ridealongtracksideIn this video we break down the physics of MotoGP braking - carbon disc tech, the flip problem that limits every bike on the grid, and what it actually takes to manage 300 km/h stops with two fingers and no seatbelt.We compare F1 and MotoGP braking data from COTA - where bikes are faster on the straight but 28 seconds slower per lap - and explain why the gap lives almost entirely in the braking zone.- Why two wheels changes the braking physics entirely- What the rider's body is doing during a 300 km/h stop- How carbon disc brakes work and why they're different from F1- The COTA lap time gap and what it actually meansDoes knowing the physics change how you watch the braking zones?
