Alpine is set to become one of the main sponsors of Pramac when it becomes Yamaha’s satellite MotoGP team in 2025.
Pramac has already announced it has signed a new contract which sees Italian insurance company Prima remain as its title sponsor until the end of 2027, and it appears to be adding to its list of partners.
As reported by Motorsport.com, Alpine will be sponsoring the Pramac team, with the Renault group’s sports car brand set to share prominence with Prima on the new machine.
Pramac owner Paolo Campinoti has already collaborated with Formula One in the past, with the team showing the F1 logo on its bikes in the 2021 season following an initiative by Campinoti and F1 CEO Stefano Domenicali.
Campinoti was also present at last weekend’s Formula One Qatar Grand Prix as the team looks to complete the deal with Alpine.
Luca de Meo, the CEO of Alpine, has a strong relationship with Campinoti, which has seemingly facilitated the deal between the two.
De Meo was previously the director of the FIAT group when the company sponsored Yamaha between 2007 and 2010 as he looks to renew his relationship with the Japanese manufacturer, as well as MotoGP as a whole.
The current rumours state that Pramac and Alpine are negotiating a long-term sponsorship deal as Pramac navigates its switch in manufacturer from Ducati to Yamaha.
The official livery of the Pramac team is set to be unveiled ahead of the pre-season test at the Sepang International Circuit in Malaysia on the 5-7 February 2025.
Series organisers Dorna have scheduled an official photo session two days before the test begins and it is anticipated that each team will showcase its liveries on this occasion.
