Ahead of the British GP media debrief, Honda's Luca Marini said an official announcement about his 2027 future could come as soon as this weekend. He kept the team name under wraps but said his motivation is "100 percent" here, as paddock rumors increasingly point him toward Red Bull KTM Tech3. His current Honda contract runs out at the end of 2026.

I've spent enough time in the garages to say this move makes sense. Tech3's orange KTM turns like nothing else on the grid, and that should suit Marini's precise corner entries better than the Honda ever did. If the throttle feel comes through his fingertips the way it should, the talent that's been stuck could finally break loose. Can't wait for the announcement this weekend.

Didn't realize paddock rumors leak out this far ahead of the real announcement.

Just hearing 'announcement this weekend' makes me antsy for no reason.

No contract details, just a '100% motivation' line — classic pre-announcement phrasing.

The 'Rossi's brother-in-law' tag — I wish people judged him on his own results by now.

Leaving Honda basically means the results just weren't there, right?

Tech3 isn't a bad landing spot — KTM's good at developing young talent.
