Honda announce major Red Bull reunion ahead of new MotoGP era
Honda and Red Bull have announced a partnership reunion for the 2027 MotoGP season, coinciding with the sport's transition to new 850cc machines. The collaboration aims to leverage shared competitive goals and marketing opportunities, particularly with the arrival of rider Fabio Quartararo.
Why it matters
This partnership marks a significant shift in MotoGP team dynamics and commercial sponsorships ahead of a major regulatory change in the sport.
Honda and Red Bull have officially announced that they will be reuniting for the 2027 MotoGP season.
The news comes as a huge boost for Honda, who lost Red Bull to KTM when Marc Marquez departed the team in 2024 for Gresini Ducati.
The move shows the star power of Frenchman Fabio Quartararo, who will be joining Honda next season as a world champion with Yamaha.
It could also seal Diogo Moreira's fate, with the Brazilian signed to HRC, but whether he will be racing for the factory team or satellite squad LCR is yet to be confirmed.
The reigning Moto2 champion is a prominent Red Bull athlete and opens various marketing opportunities in South America.
