Luca Marini missed the top ten by less than half a second after almost losing the front on his final lap. A day of two halves in Austin, Texas as the heavens opened overnight to leave the Circuit of The Americas soaking wet on Friday morning. Persistent rain until the afternoon meant there was no doubt about tyre choice for Free Practice 1, conditions improving later as the all important time attack began. Wet or dry, both Joan Mir and Luca Marini kept the Honda HRC Castrol team in the mix as they challenged well into the top ten. Up at the sharp end in all conditions, Joan Mir regularly found himself inside the top three as Friday at COTA progressed and he focused on always being in the right place at the right time should the conditions turn again. The #36 has continued to go from strength to strength at the start of the year and secured a third visit to Q2. With a spot in the top 12 on the grid already guaranteed, Mir and his team still believe there is room to improve in the dry. A best time of 2'04.342 saw Mir end the day in ninth overall. A diligent Luca Marini took every advantage of the conditions to deepen his understanding of the 2025 Honda RC213V in the wet, dry and drying conditions offered up by COTA on Friday. Ending in 15th place in the final session, Marini was just half a second back from completing the top ten and will be one of the riders to watch in Q1 on Saturday. The focus for both sides of the Honda HRC Castrol garage remain on extracting the final tenths in morning practice before Qualifying and the Sprint. Starting at 15:00 Local Time and running across 10 laps, weather forecasts are currently predicting a dry Sprint. Joan Mir  36 Ninth  2'04.342 "Today is a good day for us. We were able to be strong in the wet, in the mixed conditions and when it was dry. Especially in these conditions you have to push from the first exit because you never know when the conditions might get worse, so we were able to be fast and improve each time. We have some more margin to extract from the bike if the conditions continue to improve tomorrow. It's been a good start to the year, and we are able to maintain our position at many different tracks, which is a good first step to have made. Tomorrow, we need to extract the maximum from Qualifying and then we can be in the mix in the Sprint and on Sunday." Luca Marini  10 15th  2'04.964 "In the wet the feeling with the bike was good. With the new tarmac here, it's still settling in so there was some spinning on the straight but it improved when the rain stopped. They've done a good job here with the bumps and the grip, so we need to be satisfied with that. I think I went out a little bit too early on the slick because I struggled to get temperature in and wasted some time. At the end of the day I almost lost the front on my last lap, so we could have been a bit closer to the top ten. Q1 will be close like always, especially with Zarco and Binder."
