Marc Marquez secured a hard fought win against Pramac Ducati's Danilo Petrucci in San Marino Grand Prix at Misano, securing his fourth MotoGP win this season.

The next-generation racing engine for the FIM Moto2 World Championship is based on the new 765 cc in-line three-cylinder engine used in the new-gen Street Triple.

Valentino Rossi will end up missing the upcoming San Marino GP at the Misano Circuit in Italy. The Movistar Yamaha rider will most likely also miss the next MotoGP round at Aragon, Spain.

Mercedes-Petronas dominated in the land of Ferrari as Lewis Hamilton dominated the Italian Grand Prix. The Briton managed to beat Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel amidst a TIFOSI audience, with teammate Valtteri Bottas finishing second. The back-to-back victories have helped consolidate Mercedes' lead in the constructors' standings, while this is for the first time this season that Hamilton has stepped in the world championship lead, ahead of Vettel.

All set to make India proud at the Road to MotoGP series in Spain, North Eastern boy Lalhruaizela has bagged the ticket in the second edition of the Red Bull Road to Rookie cup. The Mizoram boy led the points table, having consistently finished second in almost every race of the championship.

If recent reports coming out of Monza are to be believed, the Sauber F1 team is expected to make a key announcement about its future sometime this week, after the ongoing Italian Grand Prix.

Hamilton established the record in just 201 races, far fewer than Schumacher's 308 but there's a long way to go for the British driver.

Felipe Massa revealed plans of racing in the all-electric Formula E open-wheeler championships. Before, you get excited though, these are of course his post F1 plans.
