Why a Customer Team Can Win MotoGP but Never F1

Last year McLaren won the F1 drivers title with Lando Norris and took back to back constructors championships, and they did it buying their engine from Mercedes. Red Bull did the same thing with Renault. So in F1 a customer can clearly win. But in MotoGP a customer team can lease the exact same bike as the factory and beat them with it, and in 2024 one of them won the whole championship. This is MotoGP for F1 fans, and it all comes down to one word: manufacturer.In this one we break down how MotoGP satellite teams actually work. They lease a complete bike from a manufacturer like Ducati, Yamaha, Aprilia, KTM or Honda and build nothing themselves, right down to the aero. We look at how Jorge Martin won the 2024 title on a satellite Pramac Ducati with a record 508 points, and how Ai Ogura and Trackhouse Aprilia scored a satellite 1-2 at Assen. Then we cross to F1, where every team has to build its own chassis and aero, which is exactly why McLaren and Red Bull win as engine customers while Haas, who buys as much as the rules allow, has never won a race. In F1 you have to be a manufacturer, and that is the whole difference.Lap Times:00:00 WHY A CUSTOMER TEAM CAN WIN MOTOGP BUT NEVER F101:06 THE MOTOGP MODEL03:05 A CUSTOMER WON THE TITLE04:45 WHY F1 IS THE OPPOSITEIf you come from F1, would you want F1 teams run the way MotoGP does, or MotoGP run more like F1?
