This kind of speed from Friday is honestly brutal. The Sachsenring is basically Marquez's backyard. On a layout of consecutive left-handers, the way he commits his body and opens the throttle is on a different plane from everyone else. Pulling out the time late in the session shows the composure of a man who knows how to win. Looking forward to the sprint.

The Sachsenring's Marquez's home turf, so I honestly can't picture him losing here.
