New Zealand's Cormac Buchanan, 19, is targeting a top-10 finish at this weekend's British Grand Prix at Silverstone while racing through a back injury from a March crash in Brazil. Awaiting MRI results that may confirm a fractured vertebra, he posted his best 2026 result with 13th in Germany and qualified 11th, half a second off pole.

Having been out there myself, I know exactly where a back injury like that bites hardest, braking into the corner. Racing a stacked Moto3 pack at Silverstone while carrying that kind of pain takes serious guts for a 19-year-old. That P11 in qualifying in Germany, half a second off pole, was no fluke. I've raced hurt before, and that kind of grit earns my respect.

How serious is a suspected fractured vertebra, actually?

Top 10 at Silverstone in that state would be a huge result

Top 10 isn't as easy as it sounds in this field though

This has quietly been dragging on since that Brazil crash

Waiting on the MRI means it's not even confirmed yet

19 years old, possible fractured vertebra, and still P11 -- that's insane grit

If he pushes too hard and makes it worse, none of this matters
