In the presentation this Wednesday at Bahrain International Circuit, the defending MotoGP team world title Prima Pramac Racing brought down the curtain on the 2024 MotoGP presentations just one week before the start of the World Championship. The setting chosen to show the new “aggressive” decoration, the white lost space in favor of the purple still combined with the Ducati red, is the same where the F1 World Championship will start this weekend. What remains intact is that the team owned by Paolo Campinoti will have the same Ducati GP24s as the official Borgo Panigale team in its starting box.
In 2024 Pramac Ducati presents a bell-shaped lineup with two runners-up in the MotoGP world, the Spanish Jorge Martín (2023) and the Italian Franco Morbidelli (2020).
The synergy of Prima Pramac Ducati and F1 goes beyond Paolo Campinoti’s personal friendship with F1 CEO Stefano Domenicali. In 2021, they carried the official Formula 1 logo on the tail of their Ducati and Pramac also became a technical supplier to Scuderia Ferrari through its S12000 generator sets. So the exit from the Media Day of the F1 Bahrain GP was not a blow for them.
Live on F1 TV, the official television of Formula 1, both drivers left the final corner of the circuit towards the paddock, where journalists from all over the world were waiting for them. Also there was the Team Manager of Prima Pramac Racing, Gino Borsoi, the Team Principal of Prima Pramac Racing, Paolo Campinoti, and the CEO of Prima Seguros, George Ottathycal and Gigi Dall’Igna, general director of Ducati Corse.
“Our goal this year is to reaffirm ourselves at a high level, after the extraordinary results achieved in the last championship. By finishing second in the drivers’ championship and winning the title of Team World Champion , we made history as an independent team . Therefore, “This 2024 championship will be very emotional for us. Doing better than last season will be difficult, but we will try with commitment and determination.” explained Paolo Campinoti, Team Principal of Prima Pramac Racing.
Mr. Borsoi will complete his second season as Team Manager of Prima Pramac Racing, the first to negotiate the team title and his driver Jorge Martín fighting for the world crown until the last race in Valencia: “We will face this season with with great confidence and, for the first In three years, we have introduced a new driver to the team. This represents for us a fantastic challenge that we want to face with seriousness, determination and enthusiasm. I have great confidence with the potential of Jorge Martín and I am sure that Franco Morbidelli will give his best to give us great joy, embodying the spirit of work and sacrifice that characterizes Prima Pramac Racing. The team is ready to face the new season with determination and ambition, with the aim of achieving great goals with two great drivers.”
To Jorge Martin He liked the new decoration, “it’s much better, more aggressive colors,” he highlighted.
“2023 has been an amazing year, full of achievements and recognition. We failed to go further in the last race and I will do everything to make this 2024 better than the last one. I know that even before the start of championship I am considered one of the candidates for the title and this pressure is given to only a few riders. Being one of them demands more from me. I am in a team that has everything to do of change: the bike, the people, the mentality, and “Together we start this season determined to be number one.”
The one MotoGP2020 world runner-up Franco Morbidelli He joined Ducati after a few less encouraging campaigns at Yamaha. “2024 marks a big change in my career. I join a team that last year fought for the drivers’ title until the end and won the title as the best team in the championship. In other words, the ingredients to live an unforgettable season are all there and, although my 2024 started with a crash that forced me to skip the preseason exams, I’m fine now. I really want to explore the real characteristics of the Ducati Desmosedici GP24, to achieve many important victories together.”
