Thirteen crashes isn't bad luck anymore, it's a pattern. Sure, getting hit from behind is a coming-together you can't control, but he keeps ending up in that same spot in the pack on lap one. His pace is still there — it's the traffic management that needs fixing. Come on, Mir, Aragon's next.

Curious how Aragon goes for him next.

Q12 to sprint P7 shows real progress, the main race is just where luck's failing him.

The fact he walked away unhurt again is honestly impressive.

First-lap chaos isn't a Honda-only problem though.

Does Mir even still have time left on his contract?

13 crashes in, at some point that's just his habit on the grid, no?

Yamaha guys wouldn't put themselves in that spot, I feel like.
