2025 British MotoGP red flagged, both Marquez brothers fall
The 2025 British MotoGP at Silverstone was red flagged on lap 2 due to oil on the track. A dramatic start to the grand prix saw Alex Marquez crash from the lead at Turn 1, with Aleix Espargaro and Franco Morbidelli also ending up down and out after an incident. Marc Marquez, the race and title leader, was shown on TV just as he slid off through the fast Maggotts and Becketts complex. The oil at the Vale chicane, from the Morbidelli/Espargaro incident, was not a factor in the Marquez brothers’ accidents; they hurried back to the pits for the restart. Race Direction confirmed that all riders were eligible to restart as 3 race laps had not been completed.
