Red Bull to follow Marc Marquez in ending Honda MotoGP relationship
Red Bull has been sponsoring the Honda team since 2006, but their logos only appeared on the bike in 2015. The sponsorship deal included a clause that allowed Red Bull to end the partnership if Marc Marquez left the team. With Marquez set to leave at the end of the 2023 season, Red Bull has communicated to Honda that they will end their sponsorship this year. Additionally, the deal stated that Honda cannot carry advertising from another energy drink brand until 2025. It is rumored that Red Bull may become a sponsor of the Gresini team, which Marquez will be riding for. Losing Red Bull’s sponsorship and possibly reducing contributions from other partners will not be a major problem for Honda in the short term, as they will save money by not paying Marquez’s wages in 2024.
