Joan Mir climbed from 12th on the grid to finish 7th in Saturday's British GP Sprint for Honda, passing Marc Marquez in the final two laps.

That pass on Marquez in the last two laps? That's not just guts, that's tires holding up when it mattered. I could feel the throttle in my fingertips just watching it. Losing track position after messing up on a yellow flag stings, but closing to 0.1s on Acosta from that hole is the kind of grit I respect from the pit wall. Sunday's longer race is where that tire feel pays off.

What happens if you misjudge a yellow flag like that?

You have to back off, so it's a quiet but real time loss.

Mir's charge through the field was genuinely exciting.

Honda's still 0.1s off Acosta though, so close.

P12 to P7 shows real tire management skill.

Without that yellow-flag mixup he'd have qualified way higher.
