Confirmation of talks between Tech3 and ex-F1 team boss Guenther Steiner comes as MotoGP’s takeover by Liberty Media is poised to be completed. It’s hard to look past both things as being linked, but that’s nothing but a good sign for MotoGP…
The popularity of Formula 1 has soared in recent years, largely thanks to Liberty Media’s strategic moves and the success of the Netflix documentary series Drive To Survive. This surge in popularity has led to a global boom in F1’s fanbase and event attendance, despite some finding the actual racing to be dull in 2025. MotoGP, on the other hand, has had an exciting start to its new campaign and is set to be acquired by Liberty Media for €4.2 billion. The hope is that MotoGP can follow F1’s path to mainstream success under Liberty’s ownership, with plans already in motion to grow the fanbase and establish a stronger presence in key markets like the United States. Building a bridge with F1 may be crucial for MotoGP to tap into its audience and partners, ensuring continued growth and success in the years to come.
