The Malaysian Grand Prix opens this Friday, raising tension in the world of MotoGP. Jorge Martin, with 17 points ahead of his rival Francesco Bagnaia, is in a privileged position to win his first world champion title. However, the season has been so crazy that an early victory for the “Martinator” cannot be ruled out, although it remains uncertain.
Currently, Martin is the only driver with the possibility of leaving the Sepang circuit as champion. Indeed, he must not only defend his lead, but also extend it. If Martin succeeds in increase your gap to 21 points or morehe could avoid one last battle at Valence also in the hot seat. The calculation is complex and intertwined with the performance of Bagnaiawho must finish ahead of his competitor to keep his title hopes alive.
Although the tension is palpable, a victory of
Martin au Malaysian Grand Prix
would not automatically guarantee the title, as there could always remain a chance for Bagnaiaeven in case of victory. The MotoGP points system means that victory in the Sprint, which only awards 12 pointswould not be enough to decide the fate of the championship. A racing scenario where Bagnaia scores significant points with a Martin failing could very quickly reverse the dynamic.

Bagnaia is immense: he not only has to perform, but also manage the stress that comes with competing at this level.
