168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez has described what he has learn🍰e🦋d from F1 driver Fernando Alonso.

Marquez and Alonso are both legends of motoꦚrsport from Spain who have conquerꦗed their respective championships.

The aggression on-track which has become Marquez’s trademark is a🐓lso part of Alonso’s psyche.

"One of the things that Fernando taught me is that you don't have to belittle your rival,” Mar🍒quez told .

“But on the contrary, you have to see their s🍸trengths to prepare b🌠etter.

"Fernando has always been one of the drivers who has tried to crush his 🗹teammate or rival, but with respe🌳ct.

“Both on the track and off it, and knowing who꧂ he was facing.”

Like Marquez, Alonso has❀ had his fair share of feisty rivalries in Formula 🎐1, including with Lewis Hamilton.

"What happens in Formula 1 is that it depends a lot on the car, so everyth🌠ing also depends technically,” Marquez said.

“But I am sure that it will be a show and above all t🅺hat it will never lose that magic🍰 of those overtakes that are different.

"For me, 1, 2 or 3 drivers do that. The rest overtake in DRS and Fernando is one of those who can overtake you in any cornerꦰ.”

Marquez and Alonso were speaking face-to-face for a Spanish TV documentary about𒀰 their respective careers.

Alonso asked Marquez how h༺e kept returning to MotoGP despite career-threatening ꦍinjuries.

"✨As I have relapsed so many times, I have realised that this is the best way to learn,” Marquez said.

“You have to escape expectations ꧒when you come back from an injury.

"Obviously, because you ไhave achieved a lot in the past, people expect great things from you.

“But you have to be realistic with 🐈yourself and your environment ab🉐out where you come from and where you want to go.

"There has to be a path drawn and there will be [hurdles], but it is those moments that make you mature not only on a professional level, but also on a🍸 personal level.”

Marquez opted t🌌o leave Repsol Honda for Gresini Ducati this season.

"It has𝓰 been a y♐ear in which I have had to make decisions that I may regret in the future, I don't know,” he admitted.

“But they have a🎶ll been very thought out, very [🥃considered].

“And above all, none of t𒊎hem were꧅ made in the heat of the moment, something that I have also learned.”

Marquez returned last year but endured a horrible campaign which convinced him to quiඣt Honda a year before his contract expired, and ൩to switch to Ducati.

The early signs 𒉰of Marquez riding a GP23 have been promi𓃲sing.

In Sepang for the pres𒅌eason test, his sprint simulation times caught the eye.

He will head to Qatar for two days of testing next week before the season begins on March 8, and the expectation for Marquez to get back to his best will s𒐪urely follow.
