Marquez Brothers Push for Safety Upgrades at US Grand Prix

0:00On March 28th, riders kicked off the United States Grand Prix at Circuit of the Americas with a crash-filled Friday practice, leading Alex Marquez to. Push for safety upgrades, his brother, Mark, took a high-speed tumble at turn 10 in the morning, walking away sore but intact while the afternoon saw multiple falls early on. Alex highlighted bumpy patches in several spots, like turn 3 in the final sector, though he said conditions beat past years. He joined Mark in calling for more run-off area at that risky turn 10 corner, where high speeds leave little margin for error without air fences. Marco Bazeki, the points leader, agreed the track fell bumpier from Formula 1 wear, but balanced it with solid grip that built up through the day, under great weather. Honda's Luca Marini went further, calling the surface fantastic and much-improved over last year, even with minor front and lock on the new turn. 12 braking zone. Temperature swings and tire differences added early challenges, but riders adapted quickly.

1:01Mark's 2-minute point 9-27-second lap came with an 10th of the circuit record, while the top 5 all beat the existing best race lap.
