Overview

• After a Q1 exit at Balaton Park, Ducati switched directions on Francesco Bagnaia’s GP25 with a team-led change initiated by crew chief Christian Gabarrini.
• Bagnaia reported a marked improvement in corner-entry braking at lean, allowing him to follow rivals closely and fight again in traffic.
• He described the adjustment as a small dimensional tweak of under two centimetres that produced an outsized effect on feel and racecraft.
• Immediate results were limited in Hungary, with no sprint points and ninth place in the grand prix despite the better handling.
• Bagnaia called the step a restart to his season and said the “return to the past” approach has boosted his confidence for Barcelona.
