Razlan Razali thought he had everything in place to finally experience a worry-free season in 2023 with a sponsor and good bikes. But now the one who lost Petronas is about to see his current partner WithU hang up. In an increasingly complicated context, the Malaysian will have to find another security investor. It is still too early to know if this new situation will impact the project with Aprilia.
This is news relayed by Motoracing and which will not fail to raise awareness Raul Fernandez et Miguel Oliveira, the drivers expected on the next RS-GP which will replace the M1s of the RNF team. About it, Massimo rivola will also certainly follow this situation in a situation where he himself would like, for his troops, although official in Noale, to have the help of a sponsor. We will recall that he had appealed to Red Bull to have his machines with war paint Alpha tauri. A pattern known in Formula 1, which is the Italian's home environment.
Certainly, but what about the brave Malaysian? He already knows what he is losing. The boss of WithU Matteo Ballarin commented : " the market situation to date does not provide visibility. We want to deepen volleyball, move forward because we are very involved and we feel like protagonists. This does not mean that we will increase sponsorship of volleyball. But, yes, enough MotoGP ».
Razlan Razali will still have to work miracles
And he adds: “ we are experiencing a double crisis. Europe Energy Spa, my historical company, has requested an arrangement. WithU is a distinct but strongly connected brand. Right now, it's important to make our special features known, otherwise people won't know we exist. Italians don't know that there is an alternative to Enel or Agsm. We must make ourselves known ».
In short, we are changing strategy. The routes of WithU and RNF Racing will separate at the end of the season. It will be interesting to see how Razlan Razali will manage to replace the Italian brand…
