Leading MotoGP riders, including Marc Marquez, have expressed the opinion that there is no necessity for a contract arbitration authority like the one present in Formula 1. The recent discussion was triggered by Jorge Martin’s endeavor to terminate his Aprilia contract prematurely, which the Italian team asserted was binding until 2026. Unlike F1’s Contract Recognition Board (CRB), which was pivotal in cases such as Schumacher’s move, Marquez believes having a professional team and manager is adequate protection in MotoGP. French GP winner Johann Zarco supported MotoGP’s traditional contract approach over F1’s CRB system, emphasizing the importance of trustworthy teams and clear understanding of agreements. KTM rider Pedro Acosta echoed the sentiment, emphasizing the significance of having a reliable team and understanding contractual obligations. Amid speculations about his potential move to Honda, Acosta, who shares a manager with Martin, emphasized the importance of clarity in contracts and having a competent team.
