MotoGP could bring back manufacturer concessions to help struggling Japanese brands Yamaha and Honda Full story:
Concessions were introduced in 2014 in a bid to help balance the field and provide a greater competitive platform for prospective manufacturers, which helped bring Suzuki, Aprilia and KTM to the grid between 2015 and 2017.
Concessions were stripped from a manufacturer after it had accumulated six concession points in a season, which were determined on results: three for a win, two for a second and one for third. Yamaha, which has only two bikes on the grid in 2023, sits bottom of the constructors' table, with Honda - which has four representatives - just seven points clear in fourth.Honda team boss Alberto Puig told the media during last weekend's Dutch Grand Prix at Assen that no discussions had taken place yet about the Japanese marques potentially receiving concessions.
While it is true that the possibility of reintroducing concessions has not yet been officially raised at the table of the Manufacturers' Association , Motorsport.com understands that such a step is imminent, and that the issue is likely to be discussed at the British GP following the summer break.
