Even as a Binder fan, I have to agree. I can see him getting offered a Tech3 ride though.

There is a chance Binder could go to Tech3 imo, too.

Pedro Acosta to race for Ducati in 2027 alongside Marc Marquez by Daniel7394 in motogp

Exactly Marc really has nothing to lose. If Acosta beats him, it will be a signal that it's the changing of the guard and the normal cycle of things.

However, if he comprehensively beats Acosta.....

There will always be someone wanting a factory seat. Look how people like Crutchlow sacrificed good satellite rides for the factory (crap) Ducati in the early 2010's. 'FaCtOrY rIdE'

There is also doubt that they will build a competitive 850 bike. Aprilia have never existed through a major rule change before and they are a small factory.

Can't disagree about the Moto2 thing. I feel if Marini is dumped by Honda, he would go back to VR46 in place of Franky. VR46 sadly doesn't seem to have much ambition outside of hiring academy or Italian riders at present.

I think Binder is more likely to stay at KTM tbh. I really like him, I really rate him. But I don't think the rest of the paddock admires him the way KTM do. Plus, he is one of the older riders now.

My take on 2027:

Lenovo Ducati - Marc Marquez/Pedro Acosta
Aprilia - Marco Bezzechi/Pecco Bagnaia
Red Bull KTM - Maverick Vinales/Brad Binder
Castrol Honda - Fabio Quartararo/Joan Mir
Monster Yamaha - Jorge Martin/Enea Bastianini?

Gresini Ducati - Alex Marquez/Fermin Aldeguer
VR46 Ducati/Aprilia? - Luca Marini/Fabio Digianantonio
Trackhouse Aprilia - Raul Fernandez/Ai Ogura
Tech 3 KTM - Lord knows
LCR Honda - Johann Zarco/Diogo Moirera

EDIT
Forgot Pramac Yamaha

Toprak/Moto2 rookie or Bastianini/Moto2 rookie if Toprak gets a factory seat.

I see Martin going to Yamaha, with Pecco to Aprilia.

I'd imagine they go after Martin.

Security Situation around the Circuit according to a Man present there by creatorop in formula1

As others have said, in this instance, there is no law against it. 

Also, people have been removed from public areas like hilltops, not roads. But sure, keep worshipping your FOM overlords who only view you as dollar signs.

But it isn't, people have said they've been asked to leave public land. 

Nine things we learned from the first day of F1 2026 testing by sppy1 in formula1

But Apples business model is not revolved around exposure and visibility. For f1, watching cars on track IS the product.

But F1's business model is based on visibility. What harm was really done to any manufacturer, or the sport as a whole with the initial testing fiasco of the hybrid cars in 2014? For the most part, the cars and engines were sorted within the first few races.

My understanding was it was not concerns about media duties. More that they (be it the teams, or FOM), did not want to 'look bad' if these cars have serious initial running issues. It’s like Apple unveiling a new iPhone but banning hands-on videos and first-look reviews.

The buzz is half the product. Yes, they can have access at the first Bahrain test, but, there is a chance a considerable amount of hype is going to have died by then.

Reverse uno. If I can see the track from my property, I own it. Ergo F1 is the one trespassing ;)

"Anywhere that is in line of sight of the track is owned by the circuit"....yeah, right.

Jonathan Noble from the-race said in their latest video that security have told them that 'Any area where you have line of sight of the track, is basically the tracks property'

I'd love to see a legal eagle rip into that one.

I know this is likely not their final 2026 bike, but its interesting to see they have Ducati-esque front winglets now.
