“You can compare the fact that we are both red, both us [Ducati] and Ferrari…”
Marc Marquez 's move to Ducati for the 2025 MotoGP season and Lewis Hamilton 's switch to Ferrari for the upcoming F1 campaign could hardly have been better synchronised.
In truth, though, Marquez’s experience with the engineers of Ducati – at least in a co-operative sense – extends back to the end of 2023 when he rode one of the Bologna brand’s bikes for the first time in his first test as a Gresini Racing rider. “Last year it was perfect at the Gresini team, this year the factory team was needed to make a further leap. When you have the bike and you're in the reference team, it's all in your hands.”Marquez’s move to Ducati also differs from Hamilton’s in that, while Charles Leclerc is a talented driver and a Grand Prix winner, Francesco Bagnaia is a three-times World Champion and the most successful MotoGP rider of the past five seasons.
“He always fought until the end, so he will be the reference since he finished second in the championship. I am the second reference in the garage since I finished third in the standings.”
