Francesco Bagnaia expressed frustration after Friday practice at the Malaysian Grand Prix, stating his motorcycle "only works in a straight line." The Ducati rider's comments came following the opening sessions at Sepang International Circuit on October 30, 2026.
The reigning champion's remarks suggest handling difficulties in the corners, a critical aspect at the Malaysian venue. Bagnaia will need to find improvements ahead of qualifying and the sprint race as he continues his title defense.
