P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Marc Marquez and Honda reportedly have an unwritten deal to reunite in 2025 – but only if some crucial conditions are met.
The six-time MotoGP champion, Marc Marquez, will be leaving Honda after an 11-year partnership to join Gresini Ducati in 2024. However, he has only signed a one-year contract with them. There are rumors of a secret agreement between Honda and Marquez, suggesting a possible reunion in the future. Marquez was released from his Honda deal without any financial penalty, which is considered an important detail for a potential return. The conditions for his return include a technical revolution within the team, involving engineers from Formula 1, as well as Honda’s success during his absence. Marquez is open to coming back to Honda in 2025 as a free agent, but the current team manager, Alberto Puig, might not retain his position due to recent setbacks. Honda has already started a technical revamp with the departure of Shinichi Kokubu as technical director. Despite Marquez’s departure, most of his inner-circle will remain at Repsol Honda, including his long-time crew chief, Santi Hernandez.
