2023 MotoGP World Championship Notes
The 2023 season will be MotoGP It concluded last weekend with the Valencia Community Grand Prix. It’s time to take stock of what the year has been for the stars and brands in the world championship’s premier category.
The MotoGP World Championship said:
Ten
10. Ducati, owner and lord
Ducati is a brand that has reigned supreme with two versions of the Desmosedici: GP24 and GP23. They spent two years competing for the title on Fabio Quartararo’s Yamaha before competing within the team in a three-way race for the 2023 World Championship. His results in long races were scandalous, with a record 17 wins out of 20 races and 43 podiums.Ducati has always been present in the last 46 races
9
9. Bagnaia, the true number one
Pecco becomes only the third rider in the MotoGP era to defend his title after Rossi and Marquez, and the first since Doohan to wear number 1 on his bike. Once again he paid the price for his early season mistakes, handing over the lead to Bezzecchi, but was undaunted as Martin began his comeback just as he had paid the price for his accident in Catalunya. Speed, ruthlessness, and intelligence to serve the crown.
8
8. Martin didn’t score
Jorge Martín did not lose his title at Cheste and delayed Ariron to Cheste. After a bleak start to the championship with a point deduction since Misano, he regained speed and continued success, overcoming a 66 point disadvantage and leading the championship after the Mandalika Sprint (+7).After a great victory from the satellite team, the mistake that lowered his performance was that he fell with a 3-inch advantage when he was already the World Cup leader
6
6. Aprilia and KTM stagnation
Aprilia and KTM were expected to be Ducati’s rivals in 2024, but in the end they took sixth place, the same podium they achieved.
Indeed, two of the podiums were two wins by Aprilia’s Aleix Espargaro, while KTM failed to score any podiums in long races, only two in sprints. Binder was the championship leader and took fourth place, but was irregular. And Aprilia had a flat tire on the Asian tour.

3. Yamaha and Honda in crisis
The two factories, which shared most of the titles during the MotoGP era, are facing their worst crisis and MSMA will be forced to come to the rescue in the form of concessions ahead of 2024. Two podium finishes went to Honda, the first to Rins in Austin. , Bagnaia’s fall, and Marc Marquez’s third at Motegi. Quartararo contributed three-thirds for Yamaha. Honda has the highest number of falls with Marquez at 29 and Mir at 24.

In 2026, large-scale rule changes will be introduced in Formula 1, which will introduce not only new aerodynamics of cars, but also a radical update of power plants.
In this context, Renault decided to suspend the development of its own engines. At the same time, new manufacturers have emerged in Formula 1: Audi and Honda have returned to Aston Martin, Cadillac will launch with its own units in 2028, and Red Bull has received technical support from Ford.
Before the start of the season and the first tests, most of the discussions are about engines. Ford, Red Bull and Mercedes have reportedly found a solution to compress the engine, which is expected to provide an advantage of up to 0.3 seconds per lap.
Against the background of all this, the season of team presentations begins, where updated liveries will be shown, and maybe someone will show off a full-fledged car before leaving the track. Red Bull will be the first team: today, December 16, they will present the colors together with their sister team Racing Bulls.
Before the official release, the team attracted the attention of fans by showing the first photo of the Red Bull-Ford joint engine, the first of its kind, on social networks. Specific technical details are not yet visible, but the team logo attracts attention.
The 2026 season presentation of the Red Bull car will be held in Detroit (USA) at 05:00 Kiev time.

1996 Formula 1 champion Damon Hill expressed his confidence in Lando Norris, believing that the British driver can win three or four championships during his career after his success last month.
Norris finished the 2025 season at the top of the standings, finishing third at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
This earned him a place on a list of world champions that includes only 35 drivers. It’s even rarer for a driver to win more than one championship, but Hill is confident Norris can extend his achievements to four or five trophies.
“He did that, and that provides a certain peace of mind,” Hill said.
“He will be able to relax to a certain degree. It all depends on your desire to win.”
I always thought it would be enough for Michael (Schumacher) to win one, two, three, four, five championships, but he went on to win one or two more championships.On the contrary, some people become more motivated and pursue new titles. I definitely think Lando is capable of multiple championships. “I think there are three or four more left.”
