The contract is not yet signed, with only a few minor details to be finalized. Mir’s decision to stay with Repsol Honda is a significant boost for the team, which has been struggling to find its footing in recent seasons. The team’s reliance on a new concession system, which provides more tests and parts, is expected to help the team turn things around.
Mir has been vocal about his confidence in the team’s ability to turn things around, despite the team’s recent struggles. He believes that the journey will be long, but is willing to give the team the time and support it needs to get back on track.
